Still Here

Hey, I'm still here. My main areas of interest are still Japan, law, and Exmormons. Greenw47

ADR Pages

Hi - I saw you had written on the Alternative_dispute_resolution page a while back. I'm looking to put together a small collaboration team to tackle the ADR article, and related materials. Care to join? LittleKyle (talk) 20:03, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese and Asian Studies, huh?

Cool! Are you fluent in Japanese?Dianelowe 02:00, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm totally fluent. Greenw47 04:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you here

We need more exmo's to confront the POV edits rife in the mormon articles. Remember to ignore the wiki editors behind the curtain using NPOV as a bully pulpit. Use it against them, as they are unable to see that their own point of view is marginalized and out of touch. Don't give them a single inch or they'll take a mile. -vegasbright

Thanks again

Regardless of how you personally feel about me, I appreciate your cooperation, apparent level-headedness and openness to work though the issues at Exmormonism. I've been trying for a long time to get someone to engage in such a dialogue as you have done, and most of the existing exmormon wikipedians don't want to touch the page, as other exmormons have been pretty hard on them and their edits. Your work is much appreciated. It is my goal to get this article ready to be a featured article candidate, and I really think we have good shot at it, as we work together and with other never been Mormon Wikipedians. Regardless of what you think my intent is, how much you may or may not like me personally, thank-you for your work. Keep it up, and happy editing. -Visorstuff 20:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Considering your making most of the edits I dont see your point. -Vegasbright

Thanks, I think we can come up with a nice, readable page. Here's to working together. :) Greenw47 16:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vegasbright, welcome back. Not sure who your comment is for (either myself of Greenw47), but wanted to help clarify. As of 03:47, 11 May 2006, there have been 363 edits to the page as seen here [1]. User:166.70.243.229 leads with has 109 edits, and Greenw47 is second in edits with 76. I rank a bit farther down with only 33 edits. Of the 47 unique editors on the page at least 19 are known exmormons, 4 are mormon, 3 are known nevermormons, and the rest unknown, but from their edits (spelling, grammar, etc.) are likely unaffiliated with Mormonism or exmormon. Knowing my possible POV, I've tried to recruit other known exmormons to edit, rather than myself. The result has been contradictory edits, and unsourced ancedotes. I do have research in this area that I'll eventually add in, but I want to run my thoughts past exmormons prior to doing so, to ensure NPOV. Incidentally, comments for me are welcome at my talk page. Happy editing. -Visorstuff 19:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Green, your magic touch is needed on the anti-Mormon page, which labels critics as anti-Mormons while denying it in the same article. It was cited from the exmormon entry. Thanks and keep up the good work. Anon166 23:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. Greenw47 17:35, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's in even worse condition than the Exmormonism article was. I never thought I'd say that. It's going to take a lot of work. But that's not to say it can't be done. Greenw47 18:09, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They've already reverted several edits, alluding that it's anti- or opposed to Mormonism. I find it unbelievable they passed themselves off as wikipedian know-it-alls while making that anti-Mormon page. I once gave them more credit that they believed in for themselves. Never again. Note how the article contradicts itself from paragraph to paragraph while labeling critics. I think a {{Contradict tag is in order. Anon166 18:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disengagement from religion

As an active editor of exmormonism, you may be interested in expanding the article disengagement from religion. Andries 15:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exmormon

There seems to be a sudden and persistent attempt from anon64 at supplying Mormon doctrine on why people leave. Need your help reverting perhaps. Click on the (last) of the revert you choose in history and then edit page and save. Thanks in advance. Anon166 00:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC) Hi there. I appreciate all of your hard work on the Ex-Mormon and related pages. I'm a relatively new kid on the block, but have noticed the consistently high quality of your edits. Keep it up. -Porlob 03:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! It's been a long road. So it's nice to have some positive feedback. Greenw47 21:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

The way to fix a mis-named article is the perhaps-not-as-intuitive-as-it-should-be "Move this page" function (which, as a result of abuse from anonymous users and users who only registered to abuse the function, is only available after you've been a registered user for... a certain amount of time, I really don't remember how long the necessary period is).

Occasionally, you will get an error message telling you that there's already a page at that address / with that name, and therefore you'll have to ask an administrator to fix it.

And just so you know, I fixed the Jeffrey Nielsen article for you. DS 15:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a million. That's a huge help. I only have a few original pages, and didn't think to check the capitalization before staring the article. Greenw47 14:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Glad to see you are still around. Hope to see you do more editing soon. Drop me a line... -Visorstuff 23:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Visor. I'm still around. I am in my last semester of law school. I'm really busy, so I can't be here much. Greenw47 14:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - was entirely random actually, happened to be reading the article and noticed the link was broken, so fixed it. Good work on it. Orderinchaos 17:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not an anime fan

By the way, anybody asking for my help on Japanese pages should know I am not an anime fan. But if you want a patent translated from Japanese to English, I'm your man. Greenw47 (talk) 17:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Greenw47,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

Each casebook will have a subpage.

Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
