[edit] FairTax

I see you made a post on the article's talk page; welcome to the FairTax article. I'm not trying to 'claim' or 'own' this article, but I would like to see a broader base of contributors. Please stop by and make some edits, this article needs 'em. Don't worry if you revert me, if you have a reason, I won't be offended. Just jump right in. I try to remember that contentious articles like this are the very reason why we have an NPOV tag to apply... people aren't going to agree fully on this issue, but we should have differing views documented properly. Best regards. Un focused 13:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Can you please review the comments made on this page regarding the featured article nomination of My Belarusy? Many of the concerns raised by you and others, mostly pertaining to spelling, grammar and style, have been fixed. Andrew pmk 02:08, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spoo

Hello! Just a heads-up - I've responded to and addressed your objection over at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Spoo. Thanks for your time! --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 08:31, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Follow-up: I've addressed all of your concerns - I moved all footnotes to the ends of sentences after punctuation, and I've gone through and excised / fixed anything that didn't jive with keeping with proper subject-verb construction.

As ALoan noted, the article is much better, thanks to you and Tony's criticism. Looking at your contributions, your time on wikipedia isn't as extensive as the average wikipediholic that peruses FAC, so I genuinely appreciate the time you have taken with Spoo.

I believe the article, as it now stands thanks to you and Tony, is completely worthy FA-hood, but no matter whether or not you support it, I extend my genuine thanks. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:54, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Is this an improvement? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 04:54, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Furthermore, here are the differences between the verion to which you were referring in your last comment and the article now, encompassing edits by Tony (who has changed his vote) and me. It's crunch time for me over at the FAC, so can I look forward to a change in vote based on the improvements? No matter what you decide, thanks once again for your help! --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 01:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE: VOTE!! - HDI in country infobox/template

Hi! I hope you're well; thanks for your vote! I'm administrating this vote/topic and have left a response to your comments there; I hope it allays your concerns. Thanks again for participating. E Pluribus Anthony 20:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your vote, and HDI discussion underway ...

Hello! I hope you're well. I'd like to thank you for participating in the vote earlier to include the HDI in the country infobox/template. Yay!

After a lengthy gestation, a discussion piece has been prepared to help give form to the vote. If you've a preference for how and where this information should appear in the infobox, I'd appreciate it if you head on over there and comment. :)

After a decision is arrived at, if at all, I'm also hopeful to prevail upon you to add the values (if you're willing and comfortable) for a handful of countries; the more people doing it, the less time it will take to implement the vote and realise the fruits of our collective labour.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for your co-operation! E Pluribus Anthony 03:54, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Butter

You might have another look at the FAC. I've expanded the "History" section some, in particular the terrible bit you pointed out, and would appreciate further input. Thanks! —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 22:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Voting system is featured

Finally, voting system has become a featured article!

I want to thank you for the work you've done on the article. The article wouldn't be what it is without your contributions. So it's your featured article too. Nice work! rspeer 20:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cumulative voting change

Hi Scott. Thanks for fixing up the strange comparisons to range voting in Cumulative voting. I saw that too and also funny stuff on not supporting majority criteria or Condorcet which seemed obvious and intended quality! Your reduced paragraph is good - just listing what it satisfies or not. Tom Ruen 22:18, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Society for German Colonization

Nice catch, and thanks for pulling it off the List of Missing Africa Topics, too! Keep up the good work, --Dvyost 07:24, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hey, thanks for making my Wikipedia Signpost template work more nicely on my user page. rspeer 06:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Life extension

Please see my comments on the discussion page of Life extension concerning your revision.--Ben Best 06:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] re: MoS:DP (Tedernst)

Here's what I was using: MoS:DP#Longer lists

The section titles don't need to have the word "ward" in them, because this is a page called ward, so that's just redundant. Hope this helps. peace, Tedernst | talk 22:45, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlist idea from your user page

According to Wikipedia:Administrators#Other, admins get access to a page listing articles which are not on anyone's watchlist. Not quite what you mentioned, but interesting. Qutezuce 09:33, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stairs

I (was) protected. Lucidish 17:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gerrymandering

Thanks for your feedback; I think it's pretty likely I'll revisit and edit there soon. Kaisershatner 20:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] St. Olaf Paracollege: Praire Passage Encounters

Scott - I recall our initial chat in Northfield, Minnesota. It may have brushed upon computer-assisted abuse scenarios like: The 480 that uses Future history with social network analysis ... I've continued interacting with Minnesota Futurists after migrating to Monticello Township, Kansas from the infamous river port of Bloomington, Minnesota

[edit] Merged ethic of reciprocity with Golden Rule (ethics)

From talk page of Golden Rule:

I'll post this same comment on reciprocity's talk page, and on Scott Ritchie's and on nirvana2013's, for their info and so either one can finish up this job.... For7thGen 01:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject merger

Hi!

Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Campaigns and Elections, would you object to merging the old, apparently inactive WikiProject (of which you were a member) into the newly created one at Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referenda? I initially created mine without having found out that yours existed, and in an afterthought realized that the "Campaigns" part of the old project's title might not really be suitable, though I may of course be wrong on that. Either way, please let me hear what you think; I've got a number of proposals ready to be discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elections and Referenda, and would greatly welcome your input! Cheers, —Nightst a llion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 15:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

I think you should have got this a long time ago for your work on Single Transferable Vote. Alun

[edit] Single Transferable Vote

Single Transferable Vote is up for a featured article review. Detailed concerns may be found here. Please leave your comments and help us address and maintain this article's featured quality. Sandy 22:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] intuitionism

Thanks for your (very welcome) contribution to intuitionism. May I suggest that when you make significant changes to an article you leave a descriptive edit summary? That makes it faster to determine that your edit was not some sort of subtle vandalism. Not all editors are as careful as I am about reading diffs before reverting.
