[edit] ITIL and Service Management
(copy from User_talk:Mark Gillett) I'm on your side with the ITIL stuff - I think the longtime Wiki people are losing patience with the flaws but their solution is to throw the baby out w/ the bath water. Can you have a look @ the intro I just added to IT Service Management? Charles T. Betz 20:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Charles, appreciate the vote of support. I'm drawn to recount comments from [1] which certainly support my arguements about comprehensiveness if nothing else. I think that with a small group of people with appropriate knowledge it should be possible to achieve both accessibility and comprehensiveness. Personally I have found your contributions to be extreemly helpful. Rgds Mark G 00:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Charles, there was a batch of additional edits after mine from a non logged in user. I have tried to assimilate them but not sure that I have been effective in doing so. It would probably benefit from your objective oversight. Rgds Mark G 09:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Explanation
I just tagged it because it appeared to be in that manner, but I support the tag's removal. Yanksox 16:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Do you know whom deleted it? You could ask them. It's still there. Yanksox 16:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
You are not pestering me. I am more than happy to help. Yanksox 17:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IT Governance and Information technology governance
Hi Charles,
I like where you are going with the IT Governance page, it does however duplicate the theme if not any content from Information technology governance so i've tagged them for merger (which I hope won't offend).
PS. Didn't mention i'd be pleased to review your book if you're still looking for suspects!
Rgds,
Mark
[edit] IT Service Management section removal
Hello - I removed the section in question for 2 reasons:
- Unlike other sections, it was added with just the external link and no other content
- It was added by an IP with no other edit history (Special:Contributions/12.75.146.109).
That smells like spam to me, and I revert on sight. If you feel the link is appropriate, however, feel free to re-add it however you see fit (respecting External links guidelines, of course). Those guidelines can be found at WP:EL. In short, the idea is to add as much content here as possible, and add external links only sparingly. In case you want to check out spam guidelines, here's a link to that as well: WP:SPAM. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns --AbsolutDan (talk) 04:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] blog entry on IT Service Management
Hi Charles, the IT Service Management page has acquired a blog link from a blogger that we have seen before on the ITIL pages. As I mediated a previous dispute on the ITIL main page with regard to his addition of his own blog I don't want to take 'executive action here'. You may want to review both the blog and the disucssion on the archived ITIL talk page and the ITIL v3 talk page for further info. RgdsMark G 11:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bohemianism in American cities
I'm not sure what the point of your recent edits to the Bohemianism article is. Do you do deny that bohemian neighborhoods still exist in America's larges cities--say, in Chicago, NYC, San Francisco?--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 15:38, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- My bad and I beg your forgiveness. I didn't mean to delete that completely, just got distracted in the rewrite. Charles T. Betz 18:14, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Many of your recent edits on this article smack of POV and original research. We aren't in the business of opinion here; do some research to prove your points. - Stick Fig 18:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Let's discuss on that article's Talk page. Charles T. Betz 14:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rainbow Gathering article
Cudoes and congradulations for an excellent job on the rainbow gathering article. I never thought to see it go from the mess it was to the fine article you have made it. I jumped in to seek to stem what I saw as the most egrigious abuse of the article, but I lack the skills to do what you have done. I, and I have little doubt others, have watched the work you have done, and while my praise means little, I just wanted you to know that your work is admired and appreciated. Thank you for the fine effort. Oceankat 01:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rainbow article
Thanks! If you are interested in Rainbow stuff check out Judge Dave and the Rainbow People you can get used copies for a couple of bucks. It's a really fun book to read. Pnw.hiker 20:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bohemianism and Brooks
Do you agree that the Brooks mention should remain on the Bohemianism site? If so, can you please revert it? (See the Talk page.) Charles T. Betz 13:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think I'll revert the edits in this case; it seems clear to me that we can reach an amicable resolution here, but whether our anonymous user will allow us to, that's a different question entirely. - Stick Fig 18:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I thought I was doing OK in keeping a civil tongue, but your gracious words make me feel like my comments have been surly. Good example setting. Charles T. Betz 22:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
