| ==John Calhoun article==

| Argh I thought that category was for "people" in general. I'll remove it. Thanks! --[[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]] 12:03, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

| ::"I did paraphrase several facts and sentences from different places, including Wikipedia and the sources I listed" <br/> As long as you cite sources, and preferably don't cite Wikipeida, cite the ''source'' Wikipedia used, you're good. See my [[MOS Technology]] article for an example... you can quote entire sentences, just make sure your References section is good. There's a definition of CZ:Live over at <nowiki>[[Category:CZ_Live]]</nowiki>. I'll add CZ:Live to the John Calhoun article if you haven't already --[[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]] 12:21, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

| In my experience, this person is usually referred to as "John C. Calhoun," altho I don't know how he was known in his own time. So may I suggest you either change the article's title to that or put in a redirect under that name? -- [[User:K kay shearin|k. kay]] 22:32, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

| ::Yes, I know one way to move a page, and I think I can explain it to you, but if this isn't clear, ask me again or ask someone else, okay? Go to the 'edit' page for 'John Calhoun' and copy the whole thing, as is. Then replace it with a redirect, which will look like this: <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[John C. Calhoun]]</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| ::Preview it and then 'save' it, and that will create the new page 'John C. Calhoun.' Go to its 'edit' page and paste the whole article you took from 'John Calhoun.' Preview it and then save it, and then move its discussion page, too. This doesn't move the 'history' of the page, but that's still there, on the old page with the redirect now.
| |
|
| |
| ::From my experience at Wikipedia, I think the way you know which form of someone's name to use is to Google all of them, that is, 'John Calhoun' and 'John C. Calhoun' (and maybe 'John Caldwell Calhoun') and go with the one with the most hits.

| Redid it , not perfectly, as I didn't notice you also moving the talk but there was no history to the talk anyway. All fine now..

| I see that you put the treaties in alphabetical order, and you might want to re-think that: We've been putting historical things in chronological order, and one reason is that how you name something affects the alpha order but not the chrono order -- think 'Napoleonic Code' versus 'Code of Napoleon' or 'U.S. Constitution' versus 'Constitution of the U.S.A.' Either way, you should probably put something on that article's 'talk' page raising this issue and explaining why you're resolving it how you're resolving it so we can all follow the same system. -- [[User:K kay shearin|k. kay]] 03:38, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

| ==Checklisting new articles==
| |
|
| |
| I think you can do it yourself, using the info at [[CZ:The Article Checklist]], or you can ask a constable to do it. If you just wait for it to happen by itself, there's no telling when (or if) it will, because this project is still too new to generalize. Also, I think there are still some pages or forums where you can list articles for people to edit, but to trawl for somebody interested in doing it now, just post something with the request in the parentheses, so anybody looking at 'recent changes' will see it. -- [[User:K kay shearin|k. kay]] 18:37, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

| This article is NOT identical to the Wikipedia article. Please do not say that it is. I wrote most of the Wikipedia article, and brought it over under this exception to CZ:Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians.

| In bringing the article to CZ, I deleted much of most of the WP material that I had not written myself.

| ==Bill Gates==
| |
| I don't actually know why [[Bill Gates]] was deleted. It almost certainly for trivial reasons. There are special ways of dealing with living people via Informant topic and maybe that wasn't being done. Maybe it was vandalised and had graffiti in the history logs. Maybe it was unaltered Wikipedia text. I wouldnt waste much time on it, except finding out the correct procedure for doing pages on living people. [[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 22:18, 17 April 2007 (CDT) Re checking deletion log dont have all the answers. See what I can do. Why not first find out about the Informant topics. Did you write it? Can I suggest you ask Constable Steve Ewen as he is more expert on this aspect than I am? [[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 23:07, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

| Thanks for adding the illustrations--great job! Suggestion: on Wiki too many illiustrations are very dark and you can't see detail. Solution: use your photoeditor to increase the brightness. [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 11:41, 29 April 2007 (CDT)

| Thanks for your note. I understand your concern. This needs careful and respectful decision making, and I think its an editorial decision first rather than constabulary. It would be very good for you to identify the appropriate editorial workgroup and flag it for their attention in a neutral way. Constable 20:05, 19 May 2007 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| I suggest leave a note at an editors page in the right workgroup. Im not certain which one is best. I think the text can be corrected by a few small clever changes. Editors will do this well , i think. [[User:David Tribe|David Tribe]] 02:19, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

| ==Pseudoscience==
| |
| What happened is what is supposed to happen - the wp article was edited and edited until- I believe- it no longer needs the wp box checked. I'll g through the histories, but Alexander Stos has compared articles with a p-rogram he invented, and he lets us know if there is a mistake- meaning there are still dentical lines. Of course, sometimes there are identical libnes, like - in an article on Abraham Lincoln the Gettysburgh address might be quoted in both, but that kind of thing does not mean-obviously, that there is plagerism or that -in our case,the wp box needs checking. Anyway- I will look into it and I promise to make absolutely sure the right thing is done, especially before we get to approval.

| ==Design Patterns==
| |
| I assume you meant well, but flagging this article as "being from Wikipedia" is incorrect. I had removed the "from Wikipedia" because 1) I authored it there, and 2) I made substantial changes since bringing it over. I am removing the flag again. Please do not restore it. Finally, I had explained all this already in [[Talk:Design Patterns]] [[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 21:36, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

| |
|
| |
| There is indeed just a bit of WP stuff left in the Franklin entry -- it hadn't been tagged as such because I brought it over to CZ last November, long before the WP tag system was started! At some point soon I think it can be de-tagged (I wrote about 25% of the WP version, and am slowly eroding away the remaining WP content. Do be careful in re-tagging; many items are just "on the edge" as is this one. [[User:Russell Potter|Russell Potter]] 22:00, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
