User talk:Staecker - Knowledge (XXG)

3938:. While you did nothing wrong, I do not believe it is appropriate to randomly bring up comments by other named editors made elsewhere without providing any context or at least a wikilink, as the IP did. Especially since the IP presented it as if that comment reflected the editor's POV, whereas a quick look at the original discussion reveals this was clearly not the intention, and further this was already discussed at ANI and on Jimbo Wales talk page before where this misrepresentation was pointed out. There were various other ways to deal with this but if the IP wants to make such comments, I'll leave it up to them to fix it. 790:, in particular the section "Articles are about their subjects". This has nothing to do with references- the policy is about writing material about Knowledge (XXG). Since Wikisky has nothing to do with Knowledge (XXG), there is no reason to have such a big section in that article about a Knowledge (XXG) issue. A note about the copyright terms of the wikisky images would be notable, but it shouldn't specifically be phrased in terms of suitability for use in Knowledge (XXG). The article is supposed to be about Wikisky, not about Knowledge (XXG). 1967:, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Knowledge (XXG) administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community 4062: 3387:: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys.

I personally wouldn't apply R3 in this case- the 2009 title is incorrect, but there's a good reason why it would be (or would have been) considered correct.

which has always seemed unsatisfying to me. With Herzog I don't think there's much point in distinguishing between his fiction and documentary work. And how to decide what's a "short film" vs a feature? He's got several that were made for TV that don't fit well in those categories. (But a "for TV"

Sorry that's upsetting. I didn't mean to sound offensive- the article was/is poorly written, but that's certainly not an attack on you or any of the other editors. I have no doubt that you and everybody else are doing your best, and I'm doing my best to improve things. Sorry I sounded a bit harsh.

Load of nonsense - Staecker correctly removed Knuth's comments about Knowledge (XXG) because the article is about Knuth, not Knowledge (XXG). It's very lame when editors go out of their way to get Knowledge (XXG) mentioned in articles that aren't about Knowledge (XXG).
