"Funkmistress, none of what you say matters."
What I was saying did matter in the context of Wikipedia, as I was responding to an inaccurate entry made in the article. I notice that you did not single out any of the other half-dozen people who were discussing the linguistic issue. I know your post was made a couple months ago, but I just saw it now, and would like you to know that I found it to be extremely hurtful and rude. --Funkmistress 05:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Niobe of the Voreni
I agree completely it's unclear whether her suicide attempt was successful. I edited the Niobe of the Voreni article accordingly. --207.69.139.10 05:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- Very good! Thank you very much. Once the next season begins, and if she is dead, we can update the article. MagnoliaSouth 00:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ben Franklin - Writing Systems explanation
A bot recently added a bunch of articles to the Writing systems project. It automatically picked up every article in a number of categories, including Category:Inventors of writing systems. I originally added Franklin there because he indeed invented a phonetic alphabet (see his article). Someone later made Ben Franklin's own category a subcategory of this, so he is still in the parent category as you can see by checking Category:Benjamin Franklin. Because he did work with phonetic alphabets, it may or may not be appropriate to include him in the Writing Systems project, as the bot did... What do you think? ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 14:02, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I see what you mean now! Yes, he did "invent one" but it was more of a toy of his. Actually I was thinking he was added due to his typeset inventions, which is the reason I was confused because it is a print format and not really a writing. I guess it's worth it then to at least explore what it is that he did, but would the writing systems project still be interested if it's not in use, or never was in use? I'm not entirely sure, but I don't believe it ever evolved into a true alphabet. I'm currently reading a book on him, as time allows, and perhaps I'll learn more but I have to admit that this is an interesting idea. I'm adding the project back to his talk page. :) Thank you!

[edit] Nursing Portal & wikiproject
Hi, You may or may not be aware that User:THB has crated a Nursing Portal and Nursing Wikiproject aiming to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Nursing. It would be great if all Wikipedian nurses got involved. — Rod talk 19:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nursing COTM for November
Hi, Thanks for signing up as a member of the Nursing Wikiproject. The Nursing Collaboration of the Month for November is Nursing assessment. This article is currently a stub and needs major improvement - perhaps we can make it suitable to feature on the Nursing Portal, please take a look and see if you can improve it. If you have suggestions for other nursing related articles which should be chosen as Collaboration of the Month please add them to the project page. — Rod talk 17:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rome
I've got the DVD of the show, and enjoyed it a great deal. I'm also a complete history nut. I'm really new at this whole wikipedia thing, so I'm not really sure how to go about this, but I've dabbled a bit (editing, so far, the cicero and pompey pages). If you have any suggestions, by all means let me know.Militiades 20:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
