Fancy running into you again -- you may not recall, but I sent you an e-mail praising your websites, at Rutgers I think. I noticed you've published one of Darwin's texts here. Perfectly ethical, of course, but does it fall inside the confines of what wikipedia represents? It has various pros (instant reference, no need to worry about another website being down) and cons (not truly an encyclopedia article, adds additional debris to be searched through when wiki runs a search).

Might it be worthwhile to input a feature request, that certain articles be labelled as supporting texts? The online element and cheap hard drive prices provide an interesting opportunity to do things just like this that make wikipedia so much more valuable, but perhaps the idea could be refined even more. Well, perhaps I'm just rambling, but do reply if you have the time. Colin dellow

Hi John, is your Darwin wiki open content? --Larry Sanger

---

Yup

Very good! I think it would be much better if you kept your coursework materials on the your wiki and encyclopedic-type materials on Wikipedia; this would avoid the inevitable busywork that a fork will inevitably cause. But I guess you have your reasons. --Larry

Once entries on DarwinWiki reach a mature form, I intend to transfer them over to the Wikipedia. Hopefully that's a more efficient way of doing things. I have a ton of lecture notes that I'm willing to use - I just need time :) I'm also hoping to seduce some brave souls into adding stuff to the resources my students will use.

---

Sounds great. That might actually be more efficient for you anyway! --Larry

Hello! I'm an anthropology student at ASU. We probably know some of the same people. Mkrose

Hi I'm a prebusiness student at ASU. I'm glad there are some Irish at ASU. I havn't heard the Irish brogue since... well. It's been a long time. Are you a dual citizen? My mom is, she has an irish passport too, I think that's pretty cool (yay, go mom!). And hopefully the San Fransisco Irish Consulate will also consider me one of their minions, and hand over my passport too!

There is a new notice board set up for Irish Wikipedians at User:Ludraman/Irish Wikipedians notice board. Ludraman | Talk 09:04, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK/Wikimania 2006

Hi, this is a circular to Wikipedians in Ireland to draw your attention to Wikimedia UK, where the establishment of a local Wikimedia chapter for the United Kingdom (and possibly for the Republic of Ireland) is being discussed. See the talk page, as well as the mailing list; a meetup will take place to discuss matters in London in September, for anyone who can get there. On another topic, plans are being drawn up for a UK bid for Wikimania 2006, which would be conveniently close to Ireland. On the other hand, Dublin's bid was one of the final three last year - might we bid again? --Kwekubo 04:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Apologies

I'd like to apologize if my bad faith effort gets List of agnostics deleted. I don't know if you even much care about that article these days, or are even here, but as you mention it on your main page I thought I should say sorry.--T. Anthony 07:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Your user page

I found your old user page while checking out some old edits. I have history merged it, so that all edits are in one place. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 14:06, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

And I've just done the same thing to your talk page. Graham87 06:16, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Women in Astronomy and Space Sciences Edit-a-thon - Tucson, AZ - You are invited!

Sally Ride was the first American woman in space and a champion of girls and women everywhere. Ride would have turned 62 on May 26th had the world not lost her to pancreatic cancer last July. To honor her enduring legacy, Arizonans and all attendees of SpaceFest are invited to gather on her birthday to edit and create Wikipedia entries on notable women in astronomy and the space sciences.
