[edit] Wikimedia
Sorry - I'm purely a content guy. I don't know a thing about the software that runs the site. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:19, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of Advocates
Hi Castellanet, I renamed your article "List of Advocates" to List of Housing Advocates because the original title was too broad (in my opinion). You might want to add a categor(ies) to the article, too. Herostratus 14:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- I couldn't agree more. I think the "article" should be deleted. I "created" the article from a list which already had a link to this list, and didn't give much thought to it. Does it have to go to the deletion committee to delete? Castellanet 19:11, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Nope, there's a new prodedure for unlikely-to-be-controversial deleted where you just put {{subst:prod|reason for deletion}} at the top of the article. But it looks like somebody already took care of it, it's gone. Herostratus 22:51, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Please leave the Subsidized housing article alone. It is independent and warrants it's own page. If you want to merge it post a banner for discussion, my vote will be NO. Cordially Battlefield 20:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think social housing is better explained under subsidized housing, which incorporates several different versions/methods including Public Housing. Please respond at the talk page. Battlefield 20:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hot topic
Thanks for you comments on the heat wave. I myself suffered in Manhattan from the 3-day heat wave we had (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). It reached 100 F and I had trouble walking outside. I had to duck into an air conditioned restaurant after walking only 7 or 8 blocks!
I'm just questioning the claim about "heat-related" (as opposed to "temperature-related" in general) deaths. Some quick googling convinces me that cold weather is just as deadly, and possibly more so.
However, I don't want to start a controversy, let alone an edit war. I'm only pointing out facts. How we write them up in the encyclopedia is of course a matter of judgment. I hope we can work together on this, though. --Uncle Ed 20:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RFK
Thanks for reposting your comment re the lack of rioting in Indianapolis after RFK's speech there. It's actually a very important piece of information as it shows just how highly regarded and respected he was among the black population, that they would listen to a white man at such an horrific time in their lives.Iamlondon 04:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
