Workgroups

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

Biology articles started during Biology Week

Daniel, what does this mean:

Please use the format {{rpl|Your Article's name}}.

Will you give an example. --Anthony.Sebastian 22:26, 17 September 2008 (CDT)

Sorry...

It's not Monday anywhere yet, is it? --Larry Sanger 09:15, 21 September 2008 (CDT)

Thanks for checking but according to The World Time Clock, it was Monday on the Christmas Islands (24h ahead of Hawaii) before I put up the notice. Daniel Mietchen 16:51, 21 September 2008 (CDT)

Re your welcome message to newcomer Sjoerd Hoogwater

Hi, Daniel, I don't think we've met before. I noticed in your welcome message on the Talk page of newcomer Sjoerd Hoogwater, at User talk:Sjoerd Hoogwater, that your list of articles indicated that we need articles entitled Refinery and Gas processing. I just want to point out that we already have two very detailed articles entitled Natural gas processing and Petroleum refining processes which cover the subjects of refinery and gas processing quite well. In fact the Petroleum refining processes article is an Approved article.

If you want to see all of the articles currently in the Chemical Engineering field, please visit Category:Chemical Engineering Subgroup which now has 98 articles in it.

Best regards, Milton Beychok 01:29, 24 September 2008 (CDT)

Brain and Music

That's a very impressive brain & music program you've put together. I'll be most interested in the final results. It could be a real contribution to public discourse on the subject. Best of luck. William L. Benzon 14:12, 26 September 2008 (CDT)

Bio Week stats

Sorry for the delay, recently I'm not a frequent visitor here. Stats for the Bio Week may be a good idea. For technical reasons a dump takes a couple of days and it's not possible to do it at a given moment. Not really we need this, since any edit or action is timestamped anyway. It is enough to filter the dump that is usually taken at the beginning of the month. What kind of information would be most interesting in this case? Maybe human-related stats (number of editors, number of edits etc;). Any other ideas? Best, Aleksander Stos 10:00, 27 September 2008 (CDT)

Thanks for combat loading adjustments

I hadn't realized how much obsolete material was still in that article; I've updated it somewhat but it needs much more work. There is relevant material, among other places, at amphibious warfare and prepositioning ship.

One of these days, we really need to link articles where this was an issue. Falklands War is a stub, and there were very unusual cross-loading considerations due to the extreme distance and ad hoc organization, but the loss (especially) of the Atlantic Conveyor, with all but one of the medium/heavy helicopters, is useful as an example. The Bay of Pigs is a stunningly bad example (at the Falklands, they took a calculated risk).

Guadalcanal actually did have some combat loading, but RADM Fletcher didn't give sufficient unloading time. Gallipoli, an interest of mine, also deserves an article as one of the all-time examples of bad senior command, admittedly no amphibious doctrine, and missed opportunities (e.g., Anzac Cove). Howard C. Berkowitz 12:39, 29 September 2008 (CDT)

surprises

What were they in the last set of moves? I plan to fix some of the previous ones you mentioned but you implied there were some new surprises? Chris Day 08:06, 2 October 2008 (CDT)

By the way, thanks for being the guinea pig :) Chris Day 08:06, 2 October 2008 (CDT)

Subsubpages

Many of the lists can live at subsubpages to a catalog subpage. We have a number of stand alone catalogs and lists that need to migrate to more appropriate homes. See:

Article of the week: Hydrogen bond

I just changed the article status of Hydrogen bond from a "3" to a "1". It was nominated for article of the week (front page feature) with yourself as specialist supporter, so I presume from that (as well as from reading it) that it should be a "1".

If it is still the leading vote-getter next Tuesday or Wednesday, I will put it on the front page.

James F. Perry 22:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Should that article be checked "partial content from Wikipedia"? James F. Perry 15:08, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, and I think it had that but I couldn't find it right now. Please ask someone else to check, as I'm going offline. -- Daniel Mietchen 16:59, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Piquet

I see you marked this article as incomplete. the template doesn't ask for details, but I wonder whether you have any specific suggestions for the sorts of things you think should be added. Peter Jackson 17:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Peter and Daniel: Excuse me for poking my nose into here. Peter, the status in the Metadata template was marked as a 2 by Daniel. That is a pretty good status rating. To move it up to 1, I would suggest that: (1) The Definition subpage be created and a definition be provided, (2) The Related Articles subpage be created and filled in as best as you can, (3) The Bibliography subpage be created and some books be listed (if possible), and (4) the External Links subpage be created and some links to external websites be provided (if possible). When creating those subpages, be sure that the template {{subpages}} is at the top of each of them.
I don't know enough about the Piquet game to comment on the content, but I would also suggest a very thorough spell check. Hope this helps and best regards, Milton Beychok 17:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I am also not familiar enough with the game to comment on content but I agree with Milton's suggestions and would add that intrawiki links as well as some illustrations would be nice (and useful) additions (e.g. a picture of one the specific situations mentioned in the text). --Daniel Mietchen 18:15, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Can you help with Meteorology?

Daniel, I've been looking at your user page and the topics in which you are interested. Very impressive, indeed!! A few days ago, I created the Meteorology article because there were dozens and dozens of intrawiki links to that word in a good many CZ articles.

As I wrote on the Talk page of Meteorology, I really have a minimal knowledge of that field. Do you think that you might be able to expand that article ... or do you know someone who can do so?

Thanks for any help you can provide. Milton Beychok 22:19, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

DOI for Lorenz's paper does not work

Daniel, the DOI that you included in the reference for Lorenz's paper in the Meteorology article does not work. Can you correct it? If not, then please just delete that part of the reference. Thanks. Milton Beychok 17:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

The DOI is correct but contains < and > signs that cause problems with the citation template. --Daniel Mietchen 14:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
