Welcome
Basil beat me to it, but welcome. We look forward to your comments and edits. I from south Alabama, near Mobile although I grew up in Tuscaloosa.  Jody B talk 17:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks like I'm the slow one today, but I'll third that welcome. We're a fairly new project, so we haven't started any collaboration efforts yet, but we definitely have a great deal of articles that need improving. Your suggestion for SatyrBot to do some tagging sounds great. Look forward to working with you, -  auburn pilot   talk  17:59, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Categories
I noticed a couple red link, empty categories and removed them from WikiProject Alabama/Categories. I see you were editing the page just minutes before me...should these cats remain, simply commented out as you did with a few others? -  auburn pilot   talk  03:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Stonewall Book Award
Hi Aleta, I posted on Talk:Stonewall Book Award, but got zero response. As you are one of the very few editors of the Talk page, I wondered if you had an opinion? Pdfpdf 11:40, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Demonolatry
Someone has proposed a merge of demonolatry with demonology. You've contributed to the article, so it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts. Hope to see you on the talk page sometime:)Merkinsmum 17:37, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Alabama is still overly expansive
Are you also responsible for the tagging of articles such as Mississippi Public Broadcasting as part of the Alabama Project? (I deleted the tag from that one earlier, but Satyrbot has re-added it...) Also, I don't think that every plant that grows in Alabama (and elsewhere) should be included in the project...--orlady 05:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I see that MPB is categorized with tv stations in Huntsville/Decatur. It did not occur to me (or I guess anyone else who looked at the cat list) that there would be networks from neighboring states in the category.  I took the AL project tag back off that talk page.  I don't know why the bot replaced it after you removed it the first time.  Aleta 05:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, that explains the inclusion of MPB in Alabama. Broadcast stations whose signals spill across the border would be included in some categories for the receiving state, but it did look pretty silly to suggest that Mississippi broadcasting is part of the Alabama project. --orlady 14:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I think it perfectly reasonable to include plants of AL in the project. Just because an article is in the purview of one project, that project doesn't own it.  Some articles fall within the purview of several different projects.  Including the flora and tree cats was not an error. Aleta 06:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless a plant or animal has a strong unique association with a particular place (for example, Florida panther in Florida), I don't see much useful purpose in including it in the scope of a state project. Organisms such as Hellbender and American persimmon have a large geographic range, so they logically could be included in many different geographic projects. State editors have plenty of other things to do without tackling the articles about the humongous number of species that exist inside each state's borders, and editors with a flora/fauna focus are better qualified to work on these articles. I see that Category:Trees of Alabama is what was flagged for inclusion in the Alabama project, but I would observe that it is a tiny fraction of the trees found in the state and none of the trees listed are uniquely associated with Alabama. (I guess I should be commenting that the category is misbegotten...)--orlady 14:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Matt Sanchez
Your most recent comment (15:09 UTC, 13 July 2007) refers to a suggested edit proposed by Donnachadh. Do you mean the suggested edit proposed by me? Donnachadh simply rejected Sanchez's proposed edit; I was the one who came up with the suggested edit. Note that my proposal came after both of Sanchez's posts on the topic. Horologium t-c 16:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Uh, yeah, looking back at the page, I meant your suggestion, and I didn't notice that you'd written it after Matt's last post. I stuck my comment.  Sorry about the confusion.  Aleta 16:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Níð
Hi Aleta! I noticed you tagged Níð as part of WikiProject Mythology, rating it as B-Class. However, it would be nice if you could use the option offered by your tag and leave a few comments on where specifically the article is still lacking. Is it that most sources are in German? --Tlatosmd 09:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Pharmacology Update
Here's a brief update in some of the recent developments of WikiProject Pharmacology!


 * Aspirin has just completed its two week run as the first Collaboration of the Week! Many thanks to those editors that contributed; the article got a lot of good work accomplished, and in particular, much work was done in fixing up the history section. It's still not quite "done" yet (is a wikipedia article really ever done?), but after two weeks I think it's more important to push onwards with the development of the new collaboration of the week program. I will be fixing up Aspirin in the next few days and possibly nominating it for either GA or FA status.


 * Muscle relaxant has been selected as the new Collaboration of the week until October 2, 2007! This article is currently rated as a "stub", so it's got quite a bit of work cut out for collaborators! Admittedly, featured status could be a long way off,... but still attainable! At the least, maybe we could at least get it up to meeting the Good article criteria? Please stop by the article and help improve it.


 * Resveratrol, having recently achieved GA status on August 16, 2007, is now making a run for featured status. This is quite a fascinating compound. If you can, please stop by its discussion page and leave comments in support of it.


 * Please remember that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing or dispensing medical advice amongst users. Specifically, talk pages of articles should only be used to discuss improving the actual article in question. To help alleviate this situation, the template talkheader may be added to the top of talk pages, reminding users of the purpose of such pages. Additionally, unsigned comments and comments by anonymous users that are inappropriate may be removed from talk pages without being considered vandalism.


 * There was an interesting article on ZDNet last week about Hewlett Packard licensing its patented microneedle technology used in common inkjet printers to be used in transdermal patches to deliver a time-controlled release of drugs to patients. This information could be added to articles such as route of administration or drug delivery.

Thanks for cleanup
Sorry the Politics of Harry Potter is such a disaster, and thanks for your efforts cleaning up all the references and the gentle edit.

Oh...I'm glad to see you know where your towel is! Personally I'd like Wikipedia more if it had a label advising everyone, "Don't Panic!". Libertycookies 07:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Dumbledore vote
Hi. All the arguing over where we should discuss Dumbledore's sexual orientation is proving useless. We need to work out just who is in favour of what and a vote seems the only way to go about it. I'm asking for your opinion since you had a say in the general argument. Thank you. asyndeton 10:47, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Pharmacology Update
Here are a few updates in the realm of WikiProject Pharmacology:


 * The Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week has been changed to Collaboration of the Month, based on current participation levels. It is also more likely that articles collaborated on for one month are more likely to achieve featured quality than articles worked on for only a week or two.


 * The current Collaboration of the Month for November is Receptor antagonist. Please take a look at that article and contribute to it if you get a chance. Ideally, the article should adhere to the featured article criteria.


 * Therapies for multiple sclerosis is currently a featured article candidate. If you are familiar with the featured article criteria, please visit WP:FAC and review the article.


 * Anabolic steroid is the wikiproject's newest Featured Article, having been promoted on October 8, 2007.


 * Theobromine was delisted as a Good Article. The Peer review and GA reassessment discussions provide suggestions on improvement. Muscle relaxant was recently reviewed for Good Article status, but not promoted. Please see the full review full review here for details.
