Welcome your help with Computer article rewrite

Eric, Nice to meet you here in Citizendium. I welcome your help and your feedback; I'll probably post the new article draft today. So get in there and edit as it needs--we can communicate about it on the Discussion page. (An aside--I see you're in Baghdad and so I'll worry about you but I wish you the very best. I, and most people I know, regret the war and hope to see the troops out of there soon but support our troops completely).

The User:Pat_Palmer/Computer draft is no where near ready now; my current thinking is it may take about two weeks given my other commitments. I would appreciate your working on a section--a good choice would be the feedback cycle of rapid development which gave rise to a whole industry of software and hardware companies around the world. Just dig right in.Pat Palmer 08:15, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Computer author

Yeah, I know what you mean. It seems like you and I are doing just about all the work for the computer category. --Joshua David Williams 11:46, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

I need to learn how to use the workgroup pages. How did you get to that URL? --Joshua David Williams 14:55, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Alright, I removed the welcome message (I accidentally deleted the template the first time though LOL!!). Thanks for the tips ;) --Joshua David Williams 15:10, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Beowulf

Hi Eric! Good job on moving Beowulf Cluster. I saw you asked if it should be speedydeleted. Actually, if we move it (rather than cut and paste), the page history will go with it, so that is the way to really do it. Since only constables can do that for now (to avoid vandalism), all you have to do is call on me and I will be glad to do it for you. Otherwise email constables@citizendium.org and tell them what article needs moving or deleting. Keep up the good work! --Matt Innis (Talk) 11:39, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

I looked at it and you did fine, there were only a few edits anyway (most were constables), so everything looks good on this one. Lets leave it the way it is... However, could you add the CZ:The Article Checklist to the talk page and begin that process so it doesn't get deleted for me. Any articles that you see without it, add it! Thanks. --Matt Innis (Talk) 11:51, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

John Calhoun

Hello! Thanks for editing the article John Calhoun, I noticed you add the category of "topic informant" to the article. However, I thought the category is for living persons and existing corporations, while John Calhoun is long dead and is a historical figure. Can you explain it please? Thank you! --Yi Zhe Wu 12:01, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Hey, thanks, and Yes I believe you can say it's written "from scratch", but although I didn't import anything, I did paraphrase several facts and sentences from different places, including Wikipedia and the sources I listed. I don't know if that count as CZ:Live, what's the rule on this? Yi Zhe Wu 12:16, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Thank you for adding it to CZ:Live. I've just added the two missing sources for two facts, one is used by Wikipedia for the Henry Clay's compromise of 1833, another for the "exposition and protest" written by Calhoun. Cheers! Yi Zhe Wu 13:16, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
