Brrrrr. It's cold in here.

Chill Factor Five reporting for duty.

regarding lipservice

im not sure i was quite deserving of your lipservice remark. i simply asked if other editors wanted to collaborate on a specific article. i am away this weekend, with little usage of the internet, so it's not like i can immediately contribute. im not sure what exactly, if anything, was intended by your comment, but i am going to assume it was your way of passing the torch on the article, which is fine. the_undertow ^talk 21:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

It was a query, and a leapfrog challenge. Were you giving it lipservice? That remains to be seen. :) I was just curious, so I asked. It's really easy to talk about doing something. Lets see what you got. Put my expansion of the article to shame. Or not. I'm guessing "not".   :)  Chill Factor Five 21:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S: You do recognize good-natured teasing when you encounter it, don't you? I can hardly wait to see your contributions to the homework article. (poke poke)

i feel like Marty McFly when he was referred to as 'chicken.' Or perhaps the Fonz when jumping the shark. either way, i would have contributed. question...i notice you have redundant posts, perhaps to keep the continuity of a thread for outsiders to see. is this a Richard Nixon pattern of paranoia, or simply something learned from your lawyer. ;) the_undertow ^talk 22:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

No, it's so you don't get lost.  :) Chill Factor Five 22:14, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

finding sources is tricky, isnt it? i think the term 'homework' is hard to isolate in a search engine. and ps, dont even THINK about copying this to my talk page. dont. even. think. about. it. the_undertow ^talk 04:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it is possible not to think about something when someone tells you not to? For example, "Don't think about icecream." You just thought about icecream, didn't you?  :) Chill Factor Five 05:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

you are clearly insane. and whats worse, is instead of copying this to my talk page, you replied on my talk page, telling me that your response was on your talk page, thus defeating the purpose of me asking you to keep it linear!!!!!! i have a very sneaking suspicion that this was done on purpose!the_undertow ^talk 05:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Suspicion? What about WP:AGF?  :) What linearity? By the way, you were right about finding sources - with 52 million Google hits, it's hard to find anything specific. I've fleshed out the external link section. That's my attempt at leapfrogging you (I found some pretty good links).  :) It's your turn to add to the article. Chill Factor Five 07:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

i was ribbing you for creating continuity by cutting and pasting to another talk page. some users put rules on their talk page. most users respond to a question on their own talk page by placing the response to the other page. some insist on responding on their own talk page. the_undertow ^talk 08:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added a section on teaching effectiveness - you've been leapfrogged, buddy!  :) Chill Factor Five 00:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Homework external links

Sorry if I made a mistake. I'm moving quickly for some reason. I guess you could call it a 'frenzy'. Anyway, I'll take your word for it on their appropriateness, for now. Thanks for contacting me on the matter. The Behnam 07:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

cff, the reason i changed the section heading was to avoid those that patrol external links (which i often do). your resources are good, there is no doubt, however, we may need to prune them, by virtue of the fact that the article is short, in comparison to the links provided. i appreciate behnam's being open-minded about the idea, as that is something i find lacking as of late. since you are new, just remember to develop a thick skin and be civil - just like you have done. with any established system, it's somewhat normal that you may get bitten, directly or indirectly. also, since emotions are extremely hard to convey via ascii characters, continue to be a good judge of character. if you have any questions or need any pointers, let me know. the_undertow ^talk 07:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Well said. Basically I targeted .com's and valued .gov's because .com's are generally companies - hence, spam - while .gov's are usually reliable and appropriate. Again, sorry if I was mistaken. The Behnam 07:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Pruning isn't necessary, as the article will continue to grow (we're not done playing leapfrog, are we?) Though I'm done adding external links - I tried to go for good overall coverage. Chill Factor Five 08:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Even for big articles commercial links are removed. I might take a closer look sometime, so I recommend you just do the pruning yourself. Thanks. The Behnam 10:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

These commercial links happen to provide the best free resources I've found so far. To remove the links simply because they are commercial is absurd. Though I will replace them with superior links as I come across them. Chill Factor Five 23:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

edit summaries

use em every time! the_undertow ^talk 09:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

good edits

yer edits are good, but we are gonna need refs or we get the tags or deletionists on our behinds.the_undertow ^talk 10:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I think building the article first is important. That provides the opportunity to come across better references while researching the subject on the internet. Most of the sources on homework out there are regurgitated presentations on locally hosted sites (school districts, or even individual schools, etc.). Finding better references will take time. But I may find them while I'm looking for material in general. And I'm glad you like my edits. Chill Factor Five 10:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

if you run across a good source, dont hesitate to cut and paste it to your own cache. we can use it later. the_undertow ^talk 11:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Even better would be to post it to the talk page of the article and to insert it within the artcicle within comment delimiters. Do you still think I'm a beginner?  :) Chill Factor Five 23:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

no. i just try to stick it to you because of low edit count. i assume you have edited this place before. also, now that i am awake, ill start on the article. the_undertow ^talk 00:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

where ya been?

i havent seen you around in awhile. hit me up if you wanna overhaul some articles. the_undertow ^talk 07:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Just chillin'. But I got bored, and so thought I'd pop in to see what's up. I have this weird urge to tackle heart disease. Though I'm lucky I remembered my password. Chill Factor Five 00:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I thought you were dead. I'll take a look at your disease of choice. the_undertow ^talk 01:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Just finished going over homework. I'm pleasantly surprised that most of the article we created remained intact - with people mostly adding stuff here and there. It only lost a picture, the see also section, and the external links, which I've restored. Diff sure comes in handy. Now on to the disease of choice.  :) Chill Factor Five 01:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I didn't know the heart disease article was a list. I'm trying to improve the list (by adding the missing diseases from this class), to see what we have to work with. Then perhaps the page should be converted to an actual article with a brief section on each kind of heart disease, preceded by a more in-depth description of heart disease as a whole. Just thinkin' outloud. What's your 2 cents worth? Chill Factor Five 01:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it warrants an article, as opposed to a disambiguation page. Perhaps we can use subsections so it's not a giant list. Mitral valve prolapse is not a disease, btw. the_undertow ^talk 01:55, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a disease? What is it then? See http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:Mitral+valve+prolapse&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title Chill Factor Five 02:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I've started the conversion. See heart disease. Chill Factor Five 02:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

See the AMA. There is a separate column on the left for diseases. It's a condition where the mitral valve is a little misshapen. It occurs in 1/12 people. In the most broadest sense, it would be a disease, as would a baseball injury. But by today's connotation, it would not qualify as a disease, but a condition. Besides, I ain't got no disease! Haha. I'll check out the article. I did a little work on one of the heart disease pages. I was gone for about 1.5 months, and just got back, so good timing. the_undertow ^talk 04:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I walk or run 8 to 10 miles a day 4 or 5 times a week. And watch my nutrition. I'm pretty sure I don't have it. (But they say all Americans have some degree of it, the issue then is how far along the pathology each of us are). Chill Factor Five 02:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I see you are back, messing with the heart pages again. I did some decent sourcing to mitral valve prolapse. Day off or something? the_undertow ^talk 20:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

lunch break. Nice to see you again. Got only a few more minutes though. Chill Factor Five 20:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

heart disease is cleaned up. Now it just needs completing. Your turn to take a crack at it. Chill Factor Five 02:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I haven't done my share.

I have finals this week, so my contributions are shit. Does anything here look appealing? the_undertow ^talk 01:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Did you see this revision? I like the imaging, but the next editor removed it. Can you respond on the MVP talk? the_undertow ^talk 01:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
