User talk:Wrtg3015

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So here's what I'm thinking - when we've got temporary, discussion-type stuff we can put it on the talk page for this user, and if we edit the talk page using personal accounts then we can tell who is talking, otherwise we should put our names by our comments. Then once we get stuff that's somewhat-finalized or at least draft-level then we can pull it over to the user page - and obviously, we can edit the user page even if we're not signed in as wrtg3015, because wrtg3015 isn't going to complain.

I added a little bit more. --^hello,gadren 20:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Justin, in answer to your question about change logs for user pages, yeah, there are. If you're on the user page, you can click on the history tab up at the top and it will give you a list of basically every time someone saved a copy of the page, and you can have it show you a diff of two versions or just look at an old copy or whatever (or revert).

[edit] Proposal

This is extremely rough, so everyone feel free to offer as many suggestion as possible. Wikipedia has a changelog already, so you don't need to make a separate "Update" section.

I don't think we're supposed to use "Dear <>" but what form are we supposed to use instead?69.27.14.43 18:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC) (Justin)

So here's my two cents - I'm thinking that maybe when we send this to Wikimedia we want to preface it with an extra paragraph, the purpose being to let them know that "the following is a proposal written for our writing class, we appreciate your consideration of it". So I don't know if that's entirely necessary, because there's not really any extra information that I can think of in that paragraph, it's just that it seems weird to send them this document just as a regular email, rather than explaining that it's a proposal. So yeah, I don't know, we'll have to decide. Solaraeus 03:24, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I like the idea of a preface. The "dear" is optional, depending how formal or informal we would like it to be. -Nicki

Alright, I moved the proposal itself over to the main user page, because I figure since we're at least to rough draft quality it's fine to have it up there. So if you're looking for it, that's where it is. Solaraeus 16:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
