Hey, well I'm having a little trouble with my research on my topic, because it's so extensive. I guess I need to be a little bit more bold about posting my research. Do you have any suggested areas where I could find people interested in my topic. Sorry for the late responses, but I hope to get a whole lot more posts up throughout the week. Thanks!

 * I actually meant about  not  having  informed me that  you  had changed your mentor -  not  a good start ;) Never mind, good luck with your project, but  be careful to  use British English  when you  edit  pages about the UK, or about UK topics. See WP:ENGVAR. --Kudpung (talk) 12:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean about using British English when editing pages about the UK. That was something that didn't hit me until later.  I'm sorry again for the late responses, I've been having some medical issues that have kept me from doing my work, but I should be getting on track again.  I'm not sure what you mean by changing my mentor.  I had asked one over a month ago, but she never responded and then you came through.  I'm currently struggling to grasp my topic on Atomic Energy, it's a lot to wrap my head around.  I'm just trying to get my research done before I start posting in full.  Hope we can clear up the confusion from earlier.  And once again, I apologize for the late response.

 * Hi there! I apologise for the mix up -  when I  saw your comment  about  changing  mentors, I  though you  meant  you  had changed from  me to  someone else! I left  a message for you  on  my  talk  page, do check it  out -  one of the things I  would like to  help  you  with  right  up  front, is how to  use talk pages and format them  correctly, because you  are going  to  get  involved with messages to and from  a lot  of different  people. Sorry  to hear  about  your health - get better soon. Regards, --Kudpung (talk) 13:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

SmackBot
Technically User:SmackBot is a Wikimedia account - and a Wikia account. Sitting behind that account are a number of programs, on my computers, these perform various tasks that are mundane, boring, repetitive, complex or should not be missed. In the case in point, a perl program regularly scans the category Category:Articles with unsourced statements for articles containing undated Citation needed templates. It then edits the article to date the template and hence the category. This helps work through the backlog systematically (we currently have just over 3 years backlog in this category) and also suggests which statements are unlikely to find a cite.

So from what I gather, it's an automatic scan that the bot does and corrects those mundane edits. I'm a new to Wikipedia and am trying to get my head around all the new jargon and information out there. I noticed the edits you made to the Atomic Energy page and really appreciate them. I know a few other students had gotten a SmackBot edit so we were all just curious about it. Thanks for the help and for creating these bots! Ohheyheidi (talk) 21:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

AEA of 1946
Hi Ohheyheidi (or maybe hey Ohheyheidi) :)

I just left some comments on Talk:Atomic Energy Act of 1946. My suggestions and criticisms there come from a short review of the article. The basic takeaway is that the article itself is good, but too narrowly focused on a few elements of the act. I also feel that the addition of a few new sources (some of which were suggested in the review) could be very helpful. Thanks for your hard work on the article and I hope you are enjoying your time here. Protonk (talk) 18:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
