Hi John.
Since I didn't find an email address for you, I assume that you'll see this note if I post it here, and then you can delete it once you've read it. I appreciate your help with the categorization of the Choice Theory entry. I'm not entirely sure on what grounds you perfer "popular psychology" to "psychology" as a category -- the implication being that this is just popluar "stuff" but not to be taken seriously. And that I think is incorrect.
Glasser is an MD and a board licensed psychiatrist with some 50+ years of clinical experience. He is certainly a recognized authority in his field. So, to categorize his work as "popular psychology" is perhaps a disservice to him and those who consult the Wikipedia.
Have you read his recent (2003) book WARNING: Psychiatry Can Be Hazardous to Your Mental Health ? It's your edit and your call, so I'm not reverting it. Please think about it.

[edit] Fermentation
Hi- I liked your contributions to the Fermentation article and I was pleased to see the Steinkraus reference you added. He was my Master's thesis advisor at Cornell. I now work at the Agricultural research service on non-food topics, but I still haunt food-related wikipedia pages. Happy editing! ike9898 13:15, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Psychological/Psychiatric categories
Hi there, I notice you have been tweaking these categories. I had a go at doing a DSM type tree as you might have noticed. I have left a message on User talk:Sietse Snel that you might want to have a look at suggesting a way that both disciplines might access the categories. Sietse is a psychology student and I presume you in the psychology field also. You might like to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychopathology. There is also a review page, Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychopathology/Review where people can list what they are up to. All the best. --CloudSurfer 22:31, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
Please create and populate categories in the form of a plural title. I've moved Category:Intimate relationship to Category:Intimate relationships Dysprosia 07:40, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
[edit] Free-reed aerophones
I'm just wondering why you recategorized several free-reed musical instruments into a new category called "Sets of Free Reeds." Hornbostel-Sachs notwithstanding, I've never heard that category name in common use. See WP:NC and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names).
Anyway, I do think that moving "Free-reed instruments" to "Free-reed aerophones" was a good choice. Maybe the instruments should be included in both "Free-reed aerophones" and "Sets of Free Reeds." --Theodore Kloba 18:28, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)
[edit] English words of Indo-European origin
Hi, Johnkarp. Are you going to come back to this article? In a way it's your baby, so we need you to say something on its talkpage about where you think it is going. (You will have noticed that it has been renamed! My suggestion, though someone else did it.) --Doric Loon 14:15, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hawthorne effect and Experimental design
Hello, John,
I'm working on the Hawthorne effect article and discovered the Category: Experiment design page that you created (I believe). I know nothing about experimental design, so I'd like to know what you think about adding the Hawthorne Effect to the list. DBlomgren 01:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
