Are you still around?

re: Assiti Shards (moved) — I'm a heavy SF reader and have a degree in English Literature, and I can say that I'm baffled by the amount of jargon and embedded acronyms and links in these paragraphs. It's not any easy read for anyone, in my opinion. I'd volunteer to help with cleanup myself, but I don't have any prior knowledge of this series. I came to this page because I was curious about the books, but it doesn't help much. User:THINMAN 05:39, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

If you're still around, I've given the article page a rewrite recently, and would appreciate a fresh viewpoint. On balance, I'm thinking I need to cut out the large section about the phenom into a separate article, but the amount of Jargon should be much abated. I'm trying to devote a regular daily amount of time in the series articles, but there is a lot of neglect to overcome. Add in my own historical track in sciences and Engineering avoided most English courses because I placed out of all but a few— and those were thirty plus years back. Inasmuch as any cause, I know I tend to get wordy when trying to supply enough information— a reader with no information is a good resource to figure out whether things are tight, wordy, or right. Let me know if you get this. Thanks // FrankB 01:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input, and no problem on the delay--if you look at the top of my talk page, I've more or less got a permanent "On wikibreak" template hung since I have little patience with the "Rush to change things" culture. It creates a hostile environment for those of us farther along in life than our student days! // FrankB 14:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.
