Premedia vs Prepress
Although you are vaguely right that the term prepress is more popular it is also dated thus I have reversed your redirect for the page premedia to the page prepress as the terms are actually very different, a prepress company offers services prior to a printed product whereas a premedia company would provide services for graphical files regardless of their output channel, if you set a google alert on premedia you will quickly see the number of companies that are now selling premedia services, it is true that some of these companies will once have been prepress companies and have now diversified their offering. So please, premedia needs to be defined, refined and built on by the community to really help people understand. It is definitely not prepress. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.157.219 (talk) 09:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Methodology vs methods
I'm wondering whether Collaborative methodologies should simply be Collaborative method. Methodologies sounds pretentious to my mind. MidgleyDJ 09:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point, the background for most of this is highly academic and approaches pedantic :-) --Parhamr 09:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Quick suggestion
Hi - for your UG thesis notes, you might want to create a sub-page off your talkpage - that way, you can keep your own notes seperate from the conversations that people are having with you. --Fredrick day 09:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Campbell's Soup Cans
Can you explain your Campbell's Soup Cans dash change edit. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 21:04, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I changed the markup for the characters (HTML dash: &amp;mdash; or &amp;ndash;) to the actual characters (UTF-8 dash: — or –). Manual of Style (dashes) is a good reference for this all. In short: hyphens typically join two words, en-dashes typically are used for ranges of numbers and em-dashes typically are used as pauses in sentences. Also, there should be no spaces on either side of these dashes.
 * Does this answer your question? Ask more if you'd like. --Parhamr 05:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Slaughter vs. mass killing
I moved the discussion to Talk:Giuseppe Marchese. This way it is more easy for others to follow. - Mafia Expert 18:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

First Things First
thanks for the disambiguation on that. was long overdue! I could not figure out how to do it. I'm trying to get another disambiguation sorted, of 'ourmedia'.

check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ourmedia

could you help with setting up the disambiguation page? cheers.Bine maya 14:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Fattened vs. fatted
In several articles, you have replaced "fattened" with "fatted", in the sense "to feed (animals) to make them fatter". Though both the verb "fatten" and the verb "fat" are listed in dictionaries with this meaning, the idiomatic modern term is "fatten". Here is some evidence for this: What evidence do you have for the contrary? --Macrakis 16:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The OED doesn't seem to prefer one over the other, but gives only one 19th-century quote (the most recent) for "fatted" but three for "fattened".
 * Though "fatted" is used in the King James Bible phrase "fatted calf", more modern translations render this as "fattened" or simply "fat"
 * Google reports that the phrase "fatted calf" appears on 44% of the pages using the word "fatted". The technical term "de-fatted" is also common there.

Campbell's Soup Cans
Why did you remove all the non breaking space commands from Campbell's Soup Cans? --TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:43, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I am going to assume you are right about the dashes. I have not taken the time I should to distinguish between the various types.  However, Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29 suggests the non breaking spaces. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 04:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Ogasawara Tadazane
Hi, just wanted to drop you a note-- in the article on Ogasawara Tadazane, you changed "slaughter" to "killing," in reference to the deaths of the rebel forces at Shimabara in 1638. I'm just wondering what your reasoning behind that choice of words was. The wholesale "killing" of 37,000 people, men, women and children in a surrendered fortress seems like it would deserve to be called slaughter. At any rate, just curious. -Tadakuni 06:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Your note
According to this, 'slaughter' (in this sense) is:

If you can find another word that can convey the same sense of brutality and carnage, feel free to propose it. Crum375 03:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

'Slaughter' means-

1/ The intentional killing of an animal by humans or animals,

2/ The mass killing of animals by the forces of nature,

3/ The mass killing of humans by the forces of nature (as in a eathquake or flood),

4/ The inhuman, methodical and genosidal killing of humans by other humans (the Holocaust),

5/ The axidental or negligent killing of humans by other humans (man-slaughter). --Freetown 05:00, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, it is neither predudical or non-predudical. It's all in the way the article is written as a whole, rather than the indervidual wourds used in it. Genoside and mass-murdur are equily aplicable to the topic to. Legaly speaking Genoside and mass-murdur are used in referance to it.--Freetown 05:18, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I've responded on my talk page. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 19:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

General theory of collaboration
Hi Parhamr! Thanks for your contribution to General theory of collaboration. Could you please specify the reasons why you would like to rewrite the whole article? Thanks again! Matthias Röder 11:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

EHarmony Revert
I reverted your edit (along with several others) back to a much more netural, and should be agreeable phone number entry. This new entry does not include the phone number, but does include the general opinion/criticism that the phone number is hard to locate. If you did not conduct a search on the phone number itself, which assumes you already know the number, it would be difficult to find. The common location for a phone number (on most business websites) are located in much easier and perhaps logical links off the main page, such as "Contact Us" or "Customer Support" or even simply listing the number on the main page. However, it is a very obscure to find it only in the T&C section. I believe the edit I recently made to include the opinion (which is shared by many) that it is difficult to find, it a valid synopsis without becoming a directory or other things WP is not.

Welcome to the League of Copyeditors
I'm very sorry I haven't had a chance to welcome you earlier, I have been incredibly busy lately. We are glad to have your help. Currently, we have really cut down the backlog of articles in need of copyedit. Therefore, a major goal at this moment is to identify new articles that are in need of work. When you run across them, be sure to tag them for copyediting.

If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to drop me a line. Trusilver 06:16, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi! Thanks for fixing the emdashes on my page. :D (Or else for letting Ashley use your account!) --Masamage ♫ 00:23, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

printing press

 * I think I have unprotected. please test. If it does not work, I'll be here for another few minutes--let me knowDGG (talk) 07:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your excellent edits. But there are a few things that may need reconsideration

And thanks again for all this. DGG (talk) 00:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The sections of use of the Gutenberg style press and the later mechanical press are possibly necessary for the explanation of what actually happens, which is otherwise rather hard for those unfamiliar with the subject. I agree the tone of the first is wrong, and the 2nd a little too cryptic, but perhaps they can be rewritten
 * 2) The material of Chinese movable type really belongs in that article not this. I took it out here, but I have not put it into that article yet--perhaps you will have a chance to copyedit that article as well and insert it.
 * 3) How do you want to handle the Chinese printing from metal plates? Where should it go? I guess the History of typography in East Asia?

What was done to his article is intellectual dishonest and borderline libel. I hope I've restored some diginity to your family member's article... Djma12 (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Your big fat template
You don't seem to look at the articles after you have plonked this down. Curious behaviour for a graphic designer! In several cases you have created white spaces a mile wide. Since most of these articles have illustrations, which are more important than templates, it really would have been better to do a horizontal one to go at the bottom. Johnbod 11:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't worry - if I'm being uncivil, you'll know. Johnbod 18:25, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you're right. My own interest & expertise is really only in printmaking, and to an extent early books (incunabula), but as far as they are involved, I'm happy to help. Johnbod 18:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Merger proposed: Serilith → Lithography
It has been proposed to merge the content of Serilith into Lithography. Since you have previously edited one of these articles, I thought you might be interested. You're welcome to participate in the discussion if you like. --B. Wolterding 15:55, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Kaltura
You deleted my entries where I was showing Kaltura as an example for Peer Production, Collaboration and Creative Commons. You specified my additions as advertising, but I'm not sure why you think so. Kaltura is a site for collaboration in rich-media. In fact, Professor Benkler, who is the main subject of the Peer Production article, is an adviser of Kaltura, and even a guest blogger on our blog (www.kaltura.com/blog/). I inserted Kaltura as an example, similar to Clickworkers and others listed - why do you see a difference in Kaltura as an example, versus the other sites listed? Please check out www.kaltura.com and see what we do as well as Professor Benkler's contribution to our blog, and get back to me - I would like to put back the edits that I made. Of course, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lishkee (talk • contribs) 07:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

List of basic design topics
Your message and replies:
 * I appreciate your edits to list of basic design topics but question if they violate the "basic" focus of that article. What do you think? Some of the topics you have added seem a bit complicated and the list of topics has become rather broad. Regardless, thank you and cheers! —Parhamr 20:24, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, any subject introduction would define the subject, including mentioning its subfields. The problem is, in a hypertext medium, mentioning them includes linking to them.  So there is some ambiguity between defining a subject and providing coverage of basic terms.  If you can think of a solution, please let me know.  The Transhumanist 21:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Design includes a lot of different fields. I had a hard time finding terms that apply to all design fields. Perhaps a basic topic list is needed for each individual field, like graphic design. What do you think? The Transhumanist 21:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * As a graphic designer currently wrapping up my BFA, I might be far too close to the subject for neutrality. From my perspective, the design industry can be divided up into 2D (print communication), 3D (environmental and industrial design) and 4D (motion, interaction and experience design).
 * Also, designers are protective of their trades; while business and engineering are complementary trades, we assert autonomy from them. It looks like some of your edits have blurred the line. To an end-user of design, this is fine, but to a person who hopes to procure design, there are strong lines of distinction.
 * I will make some bold changes, possibly too aggressive. Feel free to revert any. —Parhamr 21:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a distinction should be made between the activity of design, and the field of design. Both are "topics".  The Transhumanist 21:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

First attempt
Ok, I did my work. I think I really butchered it, but you may find something useful in the edit history. I primarily edited design professions and design activities. My writing about professions makes generalizations and is not yet in agreement with Wikipedia guidelines.

Have I only introduced confusion or are we headed in the right direction?

A fair amount of overlap exists between business, graphic design and engineering. Is a visual needed? A Venn diagram?

…I really shouldn't edit Wikipedia while sleep deprived. —Parhamr 22:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * That depends on whether you are mentally fatigued (dumbed down) or wired (impulsively creative). [[Image:Smiley.svg|19px]]  The latter can be used strategically as a tool.


 * Nice job. Not butchered.  Nice breakdown.  You might want to clarify how the professions are related to design.  Like MBA, for which it is not immediately obvious.


 * Keep up the good work. The Transhumanist 22:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

March 14 OR COTW
Hello again or welcome if you are new to WP:WikiProject Oregon! Last week we did a picture drive and a NRHP creation drive. It’s hard to track the picture results, but I know I saw quite a few pictures added, so great job. With NRHP we added 7 that I saw: Mitchell Recreation Area, Salem First United Methodist Church, Portland City Hall, Crater Lake Lodge, Central Library (Portland, Oregon), Watchman Lookout Station, and Alvin T. Smith House; with most now nominated for DYK’s! So great work everybody.

This week, its back to stubs with one of the largest newspapers in the state, The Register-Guard, and a request with Oregon Coast. Feel free to help with either one, and the paper article is so short a DYK should be pretty easy to get (just need 5X expansion). As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:00, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Vera Katz and History
Howdy folks, its time for another installment of WikiProject Oregon’s Collaboration of the Week! Last week we made some improvements to the Oregon Coast and brought The Register-Guard up to B class while garnering a DYK! Great job to those who lent a hand. This week we finish up the High priority Stubs with former mayor and Speaker of the House, Vera Katz, which is pretty much a Start class now and could easily get to B class. We also have History of Oregon by request. Help out if you can, where you can. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

Elected Oregon
Hello fellow WikiProject Oregon folks and entities. Thanks to those who helped out with improving Vera Katz and History of Oregon during the last Collaboration of the Week! As you may have noticed, we have changed the banners a bit, but not our dedication to everything Oregon! This week, in honor of the political process, we have: Current Oregon Senate members & Current Oregon House members. Hopefully by November we can have an article on every current member of the Oregon Legislature. So feel free to turn a red link blue or expand an existing article. Since it is an election year, there should be plenty of newspaper stories. Plus, the state archives has this site that allows you to go back and see when they started serving and district info, plus at a minimum show they were a state legislator from a WP:RS. And per WP:BIO, all state legislator's are notable so no need to worry about AFD. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

Juxtaposition COTW
Howdy Ho WikiProject Oregon! Time for another installment of Collaboration of the Week. The last few weeks we’ve knocked out quite a few articles of our current state legislators, and even a few former ones too. Great job to all those who helped make it happen. On a related note, we have had several DYKs from this and now have 53 DYKs so far this year (not counting multiples), less than four full months into the year. Last year we had a total of 83 DYKs for the entire year, and 7 combined for 2006 & 2005. So we are well on our way to another record year. Each time an article makes it to the main page as a DYK it will typically get an extra 1000 hits, which is usually far more than the typical 100 hits per month most minor articles receive. With that said, this week we have two requests, Portland Lumberjax and Silicon Forest. As always, to opt out, opt in, or suggest future collaborative efforts, click here.

This week we have another stub, George Lemuel Woods, one of only two governor stubs left, and should be an easy job getting it to Start class. Then, in honor of the long weekend, we have our second State Park Article Creation Drive. Lots of red links to turn blue, lots of opportunities for DYKs.

Then, I’m trying something a little different, with the Portland State stuff. We included the two high profile schools during Civil War week last year, so now its time for the younger sibling that gets no respect to get some attention.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:37, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
