Depersonalization Disorder

Hi Richard, welcome! Thanks for starting your new article. I filled in the checklist on the metadata page so you can see how to do it. You'll figure it out in no time. The subpages9 process is new so we are all learning it now. If you have any questions feel free to ask me, I'm a constable and can answer some, or at least point you in the right direction. --Matt Innis (Talk) 20:43, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

little things mean a lot!

Thanks for the quick edit at dog breeding#references. Have a splitting headache and no idea why that wasn't working. Off to take some aspiring--welcome to CZ! Aleta Curry 22:00, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

Template tag

The Wiki provides a checkbox for indicating WP content. Your template is both unecessary and makes it appear as though you are either the progenetor or the primary contributor to the articles in question. Michael J. Formica 19:34, 12 November 2007 (CST)

Abonormal psychology article

Richard: would you kindly go here...Abnormal psychology/Sandbox...and provide a reference for this material, which you contributed? Thanks! --Michael J. Formica 14:10, 4 December 2007 (CST)

Richard: I'm not certain how things work in Ottawa, but it is common practice in academic circles to provide a reference for substantive statements, whether those statements are considered common wisdom or not. Thanks for the reference. --Michael J. Formica 13:06, 5 December 2007 (CST)

List of articles

Hi Richard: Listen....you put together a huge list of articles that needed to be written a while back. I have looked at, and even edited it some, but I can't seem to f ind it now. I wanted to migrate your work over to. Thoughts. Thanks! Blessings.... --Michael J. Formica 08:30, 8 December 2007 (CST)

Here's the link for the core articles in psychology. Cheers, Richard Pettitt 11:40, 8 December 2007 (CST)

Just curious

Richard was your mother a teacher for a school in Fairfax County, VA? --Robert W King 13:47, 15 December 2007 (CST)

Not that I was aware of. She is, however, an amateur genealogist, and based on her work the only relatives I know about are located in Canada and the UK. Richard Pettitt 14:04, 15 December 2007 (CST)

Different Pettitt then. ;) --Robert W King 14:07, 15 December 2007 (CST)

alcohol abuse redirect also?

Richard, if you know how (I don't!) you might make a redirect from "alcohol abuse" to your new alcohol (drug) cluster too. David E. Volk 17:09, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Thanks for looking at alcohol, and for your suggestions. I do in fact know how to do redirects, and I'd like to offer to do some for you. For example, should I redirect "ethyl alcohol" to "ethanol"? Richard Pettitt 17:34, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Road rage

Richard...I could really use your help migrating the Sandbox info nback into this article in a coherent form. Thanks and blessings... --Michael J. Formica 17:43, 24 December 2007 (CST)

I'd be glad to help, although not at this very moment (i'm about to head out the door...) Do you have a strategy in mind, or perhaps an article outline to be followed? Or maybe that's something we'll have to discuss. In any case, let me know what I can do, and I'll do my best. Richard Pettitt 18:01, 24 December 2007 (CST)
