I am particularly interested in seeing a young homeschooler involved on Wikipedia. My wife was homeschooled, and we intend to do the same for our children. I intend for Wikipedia to be a significant tool in their education.

[edit] Pesticide naming conventions

Hi. I noticed that you made an edit to the Pesticide article in which you changed some links. I'm not sure if you know this, but generally on Wikipedia we use the singular form of things like pesticides and make redirects for the plural forms of the names. Bonus Onus July 5, 2005 20:13 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-acoustic Guitar

I wondered if this was any different than an acoustic electric. Feel free to discuss on the talk page if you have any input. Friday (talk) 18:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review

After Tregoweth responded to my peer review request on his talk page by cleaning up the article on The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation, I am asking you to see whether this will qualify for featured status. Leave your comments in the peer review page; feel free to read my comments for its improvement.

I am asking you, because it's one of your favourite things from your past (as stated on your user page).

I expect a response from you in a good while, if I can. --Slgrandson 21:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Homeschooling project

Hello, My name Master Scott Hall (you can call me Scott). I am relatively new contributing to Wikipedia, though I have been a user of it for some time. I am currently soliciting for interest in a Wikiproject that I have proposed on the subject of homeschooling. Before finding Wikipedia, my wife and I were seriously considering, but not quite convinced, to home educate our children.

After discovering the depth, scope, and long-term goals of Wikipedia, as well as the individuals driving it, I am convinced that WP has the potential to revolutionize homeschooling. I am also convinced that home education is the right choice for my family. I have, however, been somewhat discouraged by the oversight of home education in most of the education related projects on WP. There are many potential reasons for this discrepency, but I have resolved to try to do something about it.

Although I personally have very limited experience in building complex Wikiprojects, -templates, -portals, etc., I am confident that the right team can be assembled to tackle these issues. I would like to invite you to join this effort to make Wikipedia the resource for the home education of our children. If you are interested, please visits the temporary project page I have set up. Thank you --Master Scott Hall 00:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Update: The proposed project on Homeschooling was met with a very positive response. As a result, the project has been ugraded to an official WikiProject and can be found at WikiProject Alternative education. We have several experienced Wikipedians on board, as well as some new faces. We still need contributors with backgrounds in education, education theory and philosophy, and specific alternative education methods, such as homeschooling, charter schools, and E-learning from both teacher and student perspectives. There is also a lack of quality resources regarding anti-alternative education issues. If are interested in contributing or just have an interest, please visit the project page, or if you prefer, ask us a question. Thank you again, Master Scott Hall 18:55, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries

Thanks, helpful comments. I developed it from stub. I will try harder on the wikification if no-one else does. Your further comments on 'over-categorisation' might be helpful, perhaps wkfn will improve this? The mecha/mechwarrior culture is extensive and the game is complex. I tried to give a mere flavour of this, thus I don't really agree about 'fancruft', maybe too many links.

From my knowledge of video-game culture, I don't think it would be correct to leave out what makes the game significant: Longevity/persistence (since 2002 is a long time for a modern game); active community (for a non-[MMORPG]), Microsoft connection, unusual elements of choice and strategy for a combat game etc. I hope you agree that an interactive, online game can't be discussed in the same way as a film.
