I wonder if you are anyone I know. Deb

No - not to my knowledge, at least! Enchanter

Welcome! London is awesome... I plan to be there in late August. I noticed your interest in languages; do you plan to contribute any to the non-English Wikipedias? --Chuck Smith

I don't contribute to the non-English Wikipedias, but I do look out for articles in the other Wikipedias to translate into English (mainly from French and German). Hopefully we will start to see some of the non-English Wikipedias really take off - then they would be a fantastic source of new material.

Hello, in searching Google to see if it was ever going to reindex wikipedia (yes, it finally has) I noticed that some of the articles I worked on were on the first page of search results (this alarmed me rather than appeasing me--I added another 2 paragraphs to one of them).

I've since gone through and searched mav's page and LDC's and found a few dozen articles which are on the first page of google results, and quite a few which are the first or second page listed. I thought this might be a useful thing to know because it points out high profile articles that we might want to be especially certain are complete, accurate, and neutral. (there's some talk about this at user talk:Maveric149).

Anyway, mav pointed out that I might want to stop doing the work manually because you may know of a way to do it automagically. Do you?

Thanks, --KQ 23:23 Sep 1, 2002 (PDT)

No, I don't think there's an easy way of doing that automagically. Those pages are a great idea though - keep up the good work! Enchanter 15:07 Sep 2, 2002 (PDT)
user:The Epopt came up with a Perl script that does it; he mentioned it earlier today (Sept. 2) in a post to wikipedia-l. I hope it proves useful.  :-) --KQ

I see you are fixing some American links - great job. However a direct link to the United States would probably be best (this point forward, no need to change what has already been done). --mav

Hello Tim,

I saw you had staked a claim to Unemployment and related topics. I have just added NAIRU. I would be happy for you to review it and link it as you see fit.

Thanks - alan (Alan Peakall 14:01 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC))

Thanks for the tips, Tim. You're a busy man ... [boom!]

I do plan to stick around, especially since so many of the beer and jazz links appear to be incomplete. I've also spread the word about Wikipedia.

-- Rethunk

I just want to thank you for all your hard work on making the Wikipedia:Help page a truly easy to use utility. I am amazed at how quickly most new contributors learn the ropes around here and I am convinced that a large part of that is due to the ease of finding out how to do things. Kudos! --mav
