23:40, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC): I received your message. To start, I'd suggest that it is standard practice to have the main article body for CORBA/Common object request broker architecture to be under the fully expanded version of the name (cf. Remote procedure call/RPC, and File transfer protocol/FTP to

No problemo, mate. It was an easy one to sort. In any case, I should know better. I confess to an irrational dislike of headings, and I tend to ignore them a lot of the time - which is one of the great things about a community-written project: one can afford these little lazy luxuries, as someone

Second, I understand that misspellings aren't typically disambiguated. I'd make this case an exception that proves the rules though, because it's two five-letter acronyms (I would never advocate it for TLAs). The idea behind "exceptions proving the rule" is that good rules do occasionally have

I have been posting here and there as time allows, but nowhere near the level of devotion I see from you and other prolific editors. I mostly stick to Asian and Japanese issues, as those are my strengths. However, I have set my browser homepage to open a wikipedia random page, and found myself

Thanks for your welcoming message, which I appreciated, as I have only been in wikipedia for a week and have mostly been proceeding on a trial and error basis - having fallen in love with the Knowledge structure and process, and trusting in the error correction properties of digital information

Its messy, particularly since a huge percentage of the google hits are for the wikipedia version (#1) and various forks, and the rest are almost entirely non-professional academic mentions. The big sources are completely clueless as to the term (brittanica, dictionary/encyclopedia.com., etc...

I've re-edited the "transsexual" section according to best practice as advised by "Press for Change", the UK's main political source. I'm sorry if you do not agree with the importance with which I insist that "transsexual" be regarded as an adjective, but I have a very long experience with the

Thought I'd add a response to your comments on my talk page to yours. Thanks so much for that helpful intro info--it ca be daunting being a newbie :-) . Knowledge seems like my ideal of how the WWW should be, and I'm not sure why I did not come across it before. Unfortunately, I do not have

Ahh yes, the numbers. Well, I can't keep track of any of these project pages, so I'm not contributing there, but see what else you want to do with the numbers now. I'm done with my sweeps through the 1-10k range; note that "divisors" is only part of the template for numbers with more than 2

Re MPs: if you insist on editing the next name in the list ahead of me, you will just get your work over-written. If you want to help with this, start at the other end of the alphabet. And please follow the format I have established. These are not stubs.

I havn't been able to figure out your POV (which is probably a good sign ;) and I have only seen you make good edits thus far, so I wanted to compliment you on your NPOV.

I'll see if I can write some method of getting things to integers properly instead of reals, but don't hold your breath - I'm soooo busy nowadays! Anyway, thanks again :)

Dysprosia, I finally looked at my own talk page, and saw your welcome. Thanks for that. I guess you are the nice neighbor that comes around with the basket of fruit.

I look forward to finding more about how Knowledge works, and appreciate the valuable contribution that you make - judging by the messages on your page yesterday.

This is my first attempt at using the talk function, which feels fairly cumbersome, imho. I did begin a response to you yesterday - but ended up not posting it.
602:
P.P.S. When finding info it would probably be very useful if Knowledge had its own search function (not just using Google). Do you know why it does not?

It's not a good format. There should be a better use of headers, and some full sentences used in the introduction. Where can I discuss changes to this?

I support Dysprosia here. As you surely know, everyone calls it CORBA. The expanded name is almost always found in parenthesis next to the acronym. --
