User talk:Stochata

Welcome!

Hi Stochata, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

UCL

I am of course familiar with the UCL, but looking at the page title I didn't really realize what it was until after I thought about it a little. I also added the page to Category:Lists of people by university affiliation, where it is not at all obvious where any particular institution is located. Many of these abbreviations are less familiar outside a given context. Here the context is global, and with all the californian universities having similar abbreviations, I think it is clearer with the whole name. I made a category for UCL, as well: Category:University College London. You can probably think of more articles to add to it.

I would also advice you to move the list one step further to List of University College London people, in order to be able to include noteworthy non-alumni teachers at UCL in the same list. If the list gets really long, you may consider dividing it, but most other universities have only one list for people (Berkeley has three but they should probably be merged). Personally, I also prefer when these lists are annotated, rather than just linked names. You can look at the List of Uppsala University people (which I have been working on from time to time) for one way of doing it. (BTW, the MIT list is at List of Massachusetts Institute of Technology people, MIT people is just a redirect.) / up+land 13:16, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

PS. I just noticed that you already moved it to the "...people" title. / up+land 13:17, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

(Posted the above on the user page first by mistake, moving it here now. / up+land 13:19, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC))

Thanks for the detailed reply -- I've replied on your talk page. If you do see this though, thanks also for List of Uppsala University people, its wonderful! --stochata 13:28, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re: Transportation network page

My apologies, as I do not quite know the etiquette on replying to messages; do I post it here in your talk page, or in mine?

In any case, I really like the changes you've suggested, and as you came up with them, I'll leave it to you to apply them. I kept looking for something like that to say but couldn't come up with it. I'm a bit wordy at times.

Only thing is I think another user commented that the British English thing was important. I could be wrong about this, I haven't gone back to look. But there was some concern that "transportation" was strictly American and "transport" strictly British. No British mathematicians came forward to tell whether this was the case in graph theory as well.

Cheers, --aciel 05:11, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps the best solution would be for us to relegate such discussions to the discussion page of the article in question, so that other people don't have to go over the same thing later. Good day to you, sir. --aciel 16:36, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

An interesting number

Jeremy Bentham copyvio

Hi I was just going through WP:CP#September_29 and I noticed that Jeremy Bentham has been listed as a copyvio of the biography at the UCL site http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Bentham-Project/info/jb.htm . It looks like the text was added by User talk:Susurrus in April 2003 who I've asked to email them for permission, if there isn't any obviously it will need to be redrafted. I've also informed User_talk:Zanimum and User_talk:Solipsist who seem interested in the article. Cheers Arniep 00:37, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, yes it could be that they wouldn't mind at all so I asked susurrus to email them. Cheers Arniep 15:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
