Reference desk
I would like to apologize for the trouble you had in getting an answer at the reference desk. Since yesterday, we've been talking about medical questions a lot behind the scenes, on whether or not, and how they should be answered.

I thank you for writing in favor of my father's biography. I had enclosed a stub as you suggested only to find few days later it was saddly deleted. Thank you again.Walid HADDAD 20:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Indeed I still believe that the entry had some chances of becoming a good article. If we just had the time for developing it. Mr.K. (talk) 21:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Mr K.
Truly thank you, you gave a great idea. Thank you for you support too. Sincerly Walid HADDAD 21:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Unhappily I - a long term user of wikipedia - was not able to login today from my current IP (message: Editing from 217.12.16.48 (your account, IP address, or IP address range) has been disabled by Rjd0060).

I am sure that there was a good reason for doing that. However, this is the IP of many public libraries, and even when some misuse Wikipedia, I don't believe registered user should be blocked.
 * As you seem to clearly be a long term good faith user, I've applied a tag to your account to make it exempt from those types of blocks. Apologies for any inconvenience; please let me know if there are any other problems.  Kuru  talk  16:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Christophe Neff
Hello Mr.K. Though you left a comment on the Talk page of this article in good faith, about meinprof.de as a possible source, the subject requested (on my talk) that the information be deleted. I went ahead and did so because of sensitivity about WP:BLP (though the German remark seemed colorful but rather silly). A site like meinprof.de would not be accepted as a reliable source for a biographical article, so the info couldn't be used in any case. Let me know if you disagree with my action. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 06:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your understanding. WP:BLP applies to both articles and Talk pages. See the sentence about 'unsourced ... contentious material may be removed... from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space.' EdJohnston (talk) 11:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

the Neffs on several wikis
Hallo Mr. K

It was surely a mistake to write a stub over the own person in the English wiki. So either you‘l improve the article or you should push it into afd like you actual did it on the Spanish as IP (In the Spanish you did a prod). Mr K. and the I.P. in the Spanish wiki are identical. The article on my mother in the Spanish wiki has nothing to do with me, I never intervened. If you want, you can also push the other versions concerning me (or my mother) in other wikis into prod or afd. Concerning the German versions, I have nothing to do with it, - Bundesverdienstkreuzträger (like my Mother) are automatically included as notable enough for the German Wiki – and the article concerning my person has survived two or three delete discussions. The talk page concerning the article about my person in de. has been blocked because of multiple libellous attacks against my person. That has nothing to do with Censorship in the German Wikipedia. Concerning citations in the article concerning me, - being interviewed by der Spiegel.online, Stern online, TV, Radio is simply regarded as having a certain notability. That doesn’t’ t prove, that someone is a good or bad scientist, - but it shows simply that mass media think the expertise of the person can be transmitted to a large national or international audience.

I admitted my mistake on the English wiki on the talk page concerning my person. But I did this openly – without hiding behind a pseudo – like others! So I think, admitting good faith – improve the article - or if you might think the article has to be deleted – then start straight on for an afd! Concerning the articles I created as Pinus pinea on the English wiki, you can push them all into prod or afd – I d’ont care.

Open admissions and academic quality
Responding to your Reference Desk question here, since discussion seems to have died out there...

I don't know about the undergraduate level, but on the graduate level, I'd say it's possible. At the University of Pittsburgh, the School of Information Sciences has what's close to an open enrollment policy, and Pitt is considered among the best library schools in the United States. I suspect that they're able to do this because of something else mentioned in the open enrollment article — their tuition is high. Compare their tuition with that of Indiana University-Bloomington, another top library school: Pitt charges Pennsylvania residents over $8,600 for a full-time semester, while IU charges non-Indiana residents only about $9,000 for a full-time 9 credit semester.

Your Question
Sorry! I didn't even see it. It must have been an Edit Conflict and I just copypasted my own section back or something. My mistake. --  KägeTorä - (影虎)  ( TALK )  16:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
