{{Workgroup introduction}}
==Prohibition==
Hey, I read over your article [[Prohibition in the United States]] because I saw you had [[CZ:Feedback_Requests|requested feedback]]. It's a pretty good start, overall, briefly covering the important aspects of the topic. I did make some edits for grammar and clarity. One thing I think you should consider is renaming the article, because the current title is quite awkward. How about [[Prohibition in the United States]], or simply [[Prohibition]]? I don't think you need to clarify "of alcohol", because the term almost always refers to the historic prohibition of alcohol. --[[User:Carl Jantzen|Carl Jantzen]] 15:46, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

==John Calhoun article==
==Exploration of the Moon==
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)


:Also can this be added to CZ:Live? It was written from scratch, correct? --[[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]] 12:06, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
Please explain why the Category "Exploration of the Moon" was removed from [[Apollo]]. [[User:Charles F. Radley|Charles F. Radley]] 10:01, 22 September 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)
== Image copyright ==
I have reverted your changes to the caption of the photo of Queen Elizabeth II, becayuse the photo says it is public domain, but you have put a copyright symbol under the photo in the article. This is wrong: if you are in doubt, consult with Stephen Ewen about image copyright. Sorry to complain, I am sure you thought it was the right thing to do! --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 22:53, 6 October 2007 (CDT)
::Thanks for your reply, there is no problem. I think Stephen has developed a PD sign which you can put there, if you like. However, this issue with image attribution is still being debated and has to go to the Editorial Council. I am still working on a proposal about it...--[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 10:54, 7 October 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>
== I know you might appreciate this: ==


::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.

Greetings.  I think you should remove (or change) your self-effacing comment from [[Talk:Jefferson Airplane]].  You are partly right, after all (& I assumed the same thing) - [[User:Robert Thorpe|Robert Thorpe]] 13:47, 14 October 2007 (CDT)
:Well, it explains in the article that the origin of the name may have been as above, in the title I gave this section - so Thomas Jefferson may have been involved after all. It's the 'airplane' bit that is unexplained - [[User:Robert Thorpe|Robert Thorpe]] 14:45, 14 October 2007 (CDT)

== Query on my page ==
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..
Although you removed it, I got the email notification anyway. i suppose the missing pics are because there are not suitable images for copyright reasons, but no doubt Stephen Ewen can tell you. Or was your query about something other than missing images? --[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 16:03, 10 November 2007 (CST)

==Law Workgroup entries==
== Party!  You're invited! ==


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==
== Image:Denniskucinich.jpg ==


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)

Hi!  I’m just letting people who have expressed an interest in CZ International know that there is now a proposal on the table.

Please discuss its feasibility at: [[CZ:Proposals/Internationalisation sandbox]] in the Discussion area.


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

==Bill Gates==
==Chinese characters==
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 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. Thanks, Nancy [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 18:47, 24 May 2007 (CDT)

==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)
 
== John Franklin ==
 
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)

I replied on my talk page. Please, should I say Yi or Wu? I, by the way, am Nancy. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 21:43, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

Prohibition

Hey, I read over your article Prohibition in the United States because I saw you had requested feedback. It's a pretty good start, overall, briefly covering the important aspects of the topic. I did make some edits for grammar and clarity. One thing I think you should consider is renaming the article, because the current title is quite awkward. How about Prohibition in the United States, or simply Prohibition? I don't think you need to clarify "of alcohol", because the term almost always refers to the historic prohibition of alcohol. --Carl Jantzen 15:46, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

I submitted an enhanced photo for the article. See talk page. --Robert W King 15:53, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

Exploration of the Moon

Image copyright

I have reverted your changes to the caption of the photo of Queen Elizabeth II, becayuse the photo says it is public domain, but you have put a copyright symbol under the photo in the article. This is wrong: if you are in doubt, consult with Stephen Ewen about image copyright.

Greetings. I think you should remove (or change) your self-effacing comment from Talk:Jefferson Airplane. You are partly right, after all (& I assumed the same thing) - Robert Thorpe 13:47, 14 October 2007 (CDT)

Well, it explains in the article that the origin of the name may have been as above, in the title I gave this section - so Thomas Jefferson may have been involved after all. It's the 'airplane' bit that is unexplained - Robert Thorpe 14:45, 14 October 2007 (CDT)


Query on my page

Although you removed it, I got the email notification anyway. i suppose the missing pics are because there are not suitable images for copyright reasons, but no doubt Stephen Ewen can tell you. Or was your query about something other than missing images? --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 16:03, 10 November 2007 (CST)
