Your ODU site

I just visited your web site on ODU. I love the "Give a man a program...." quote. Do you know who said that?

Hello, Charleca. I'm not sure who said it, but s/he was a genius. :) Fmccown 17:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your Harding edit

In response to your message about the number of Harding NMS. While it is an interesting number, I had 2 thoughts about it: (1) it reads too much like a recruiting statement made on Harding's behalf which would probably be NPOV and (2) amongst all the US universities, it really isn't that big a deal...i.e, what other private schools of any size are in Arkansas?>>> Harding, Hendrix, Lyons, Ozarks, a few others I'm sure (it's been 20 years since I lived in the state). Maybe if it was the most of *any* school in Arkansas, but I don't see it as a fact of any great note.

Stalkernet

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Stalkernet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Social network service

Hi. I have reverted your edit to the above on the grounds that Stalkernet is not a notable enough reference to be included in the See also section. I also note that the article is currently prodded for possible deletion - it may be advisable to hold back from adding its article link to any other articles/lists until that matter is resolved. Best wishes. Refsworldlee^(chew-fat)(eds) 20:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

picsearch

Could you please have a look at Picsearch and comment on what you think of the tags at top?

I have tried to change the article in accordance with ideas and demands on the article discussion and in my talk. Please review. --Carl Sarnstrand 23:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

could you please do me a favor?

Hello,

I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?

I will send you a URL link to a webpage on which your knowledge evolution map displays. Please assign the topic (concept) in the map to a certain cluster on the map according to the relationship between the topic and clusters in your cognition, or you can assign it to ‘none of above’ if there is no suitable cluster.
I will also send a questionnaire to you. The questions are related to my research topic, and I need your viewpoints about these questions.

The deadline of my thesis defense is set by the end of June, 2008. There is no much time left for me to wrap up the thesis. If you can help me, please reply this message. I will send you the URL link of the first part once I receive your response. The completion of my thesis heavily relies much on your generous help.

Sincerely

Hello, here is the link

Pretest webpage

If you have any question during pretest, please contact me.

Please finish it before 25 June. Thanks a lot. :)

Hello, the questionnaire is completed. Link:

evaluation questionnaire

thanks for doing this questionnaire, and I hope that you will feel interested about this. :)

JnW ^talk 04:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your help. Nice to meet you on Wiki. :)

JnW ^talk 08:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks a lot for your help on filling out the questions on the pretest and questionnaire. In order for us to interpret the answers you gave, I have two additional questions to ask you.

If we have taken some percentage of your compensation to donate it to the charitable institutions, how much percentage do you consider it is proper?

If I understand you correctly, you are wanting to know if you were to pay me what I said my answers were worth, would I want to keep the money or have you give it to a charitable institution. It depends on which charitable institution you are wanting to give the money to. If I agreed with the institution's goals, I would be fine with you giving them the money. If not, I would want you to give me the money.

Do you have any comments on the knowledge service which we plan to develop? In this knowledge service, we will allow users to ask their questions, and the system will forward these questions to the users who edited wikipedia and were identified by our system as the domain experts. Which business model do you think is more proper? The expert can be compensated by the fee paid by the seekers or do it for altruism with no charge.

Are you actually going to build a service that you expect the public to use? If you want users to get quality answers quickly, you should pay the domain experts. If you rely on altruism, you will likely get some good answers, but many times you will get a "look for your answer here" response or no response or a very slow response.

Organic!

I have prodded organic user interface. What I need to see is:

some idea (possibly with a picture) of what such an interface might be like - "non-planar displays that actively or passively change shape" does not mean very much

See [1] for photos.

more importantly, evidence of peer review - has this idea gone anywhere beyond the referenced article?

A simple Google query will show this topic is being diligently researched by a number of university and research institutions. Fmccown (talk) 17:23, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Connectivity queriy

A tag has been placed on Connectivity queriy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

"Connectivity queriy" listed at Redirects for discussion

A discussion is taking place to address the redirect Connectivity queriy. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 June 17#Connectivity queriy until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
