Welcome!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (Redwolf24 00:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (Redwolf24) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

P.S. I like messages :-P

[edit] Thanks, Redwolf24!

Hello, sorry for the slow reply, I kinda assumed that the above was an automatically generated message. But now I see that you're just a very friendly person! Thanks for the welcome. And the point about adding four tildes was very useful (after i'd got Wikipedia to tell me what a tilde is) as i added my first talk-page comment recently. Thanks, Redwolf24.

[edit] Bows

Not the David Gauntlett? Are you serious? "Ten Things Wrong with the Media Effects Model" ? Whose article made me practically yell out for joy in the library when I first read it, and my students last year thanked me for pointing them in its direction? The JPS 12:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Thanks for your message. Strangely enough, I have been getting excited about Papert and constructionism, your own ongoing project, and wikipedia pretty much simultaneously over the last couple of months, so it has been a rare pleasure to see them converge so neatly. Evidently, I need to get out more...

Think there's a way to go on the constructionism article- there are some great resources and ideas kicking about out there in the ether- so I'm looking forward to watching it grow. Thanks for starting it! All the best. Bricolab 13:14, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Media audiences

I can't remember if I contributed to this or not -- I'm pretty sure you must have, but Media audiences has been deleted (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Media audiences). I've asked User:Who to retrieve it to see what state it was in. It only received one vote against -- I have a feeling it was a deletion with an agenda. The JPS 21:33, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Ignore -- I think the only edit was from an anon IP, so the deletion could be justified. The JPS 23:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bourdieu

Just thought you might be interested in my article about Bourdieu, which has just been published: http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0510/06-stephenson.php The JPS 22:40, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anthony Giddens

I have destubbed this article, and I am working on making ready for Wikipedia:Featured articles candidates. Among the sources I used (and referenced) is your site. As your knowledge surely exceeds my grad-student level knowledge, if you could take a look at our current article and perhaps reviewe it (or just edit it), it would be most appreciated.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:53, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Peer review/Idit Harel Caperton

I have recently posted a peer review request for the Idit Harel Caperton article. She is one of the proponents of constructionist learning (an article which you started). Any ideas on how to improve the Caperton article can be posted at the peer review link above and would be greatly appreciated, considering your level of knowledge on the general field. Cheers. youngamerican (talk) 14:38, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

David, I've just found a belated message from you on my userpage after a a couple of months. Really ought to check more often, but have been snowed under of late. Sorry I couldn't help out on the pocket pack, which is a very nifty idea, and one that has transmigrated from the London tube to the Tokyo metro! Glad that it wasn't deleted. There do seem to be a few overzealous thought-policemen out there, though... Probably easier to contact me, should you have any future crises (or otherwise), via michael@bricolab.com, which you are always welcome to do! As always, your projects inspire and entertain.
