Nice photo of Crown CenterThanks for the photo of Crown Center. That's one of the nicest I've ever seen. It also lined up with a couple buildings I've written articles on 2345 Grand and Hyatt Regency Crown Center. I need to do one on the Westin Crown Center also. And for good measure there's the Western Auto building in the background (it's on the National Register) Thanks again! Americasroof (talk) 14:00, 21 February 2008 (UTC) Vinu2710I noticed that you removed the content that I added to "Group Behavior" in the page "Industrial and Organizational Psychology". I do not understand the reason for doing so. Could you please explain? Thanks.
I notice that it the shipwatch captain's fame lasted 14 minutes.

Would you like it semi-protected for some time? Acalamari 22:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Many thanksMany thanks for removing the commercial external links from the Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin article. I kept removing them; some editors kept putting them back in. The only external links I kept was the city government, chamber of commerce, the public library and the school district.Thank you-again-RFD (talk) 17:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC) Commercial links and advertisementsHi there and thanks for the information regarding my updates. I am totally new to Wikipedia and working on the first lessons. I updated the page you commented on because it was orphaned. I added information regarding the Organization that was borned out of a US Goverment grant. Prior to this, there was no way to test the competency of the teachers in our public school systems. I want to be as objective as possible, so please provide me with suggestions to keep this from a (NPOV). I really want to do this right, so I'm open for help and suggestions. Testing123 (talk) 03:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC) Albert Lea, MN EditWhy did you delete the addition of Gene Peterson as a Notable Native from Albert Lea, MN, on the Albert Lea page? A link to a reputable website was provided (and no other Notable Natives were even footnoted). 24.167.1.248 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:53, 29 January 2009 (UTC). Because he is not notable. Does he meet these criteria? [1] Does he have his own Wikipedia article? A footnote to an external page does not qualify. Also, the link to Craig Dahl is a different person, so he is not notable, and a college wrestler is very non-notable. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 16:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC) Yes, Gene Peterson does meet the criteria you linked to. Under the category "Actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and television personalities" you will find the criteria "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions." Gene Peterson has hosted over 2,000 Rockets basketball games, including the 12 NBA finals games, and was the play-by-play announcer for an NBA All-Star game. While he does not have his own Wikipedia page, this is not criteria alone for listing in a Notable Natives page. He has been profiled in many sources, including the Houston Chronicle, Houston Press, and mentions on ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and Wikipedia. Please let me know why you still feel this does not meet the criteria above.
Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin-Commercial links are being kept on in the Wisconsin Rapids article.The editor took the legitiment els off city,chamber of commerce,schools,library off and put just commercial links on-I left another comment on the editor's talk page-Very frustrating-Thanks-RFD (talk) 12:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Patterson CompaniesI just remember it was listed in the article and added the refs, so it predates my involvement with the St. Paul article. Calebrw (talk) 23:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC) Interest in Psychometrics?You seem to be very interested and opinionated on the subjects of psychometrics, professional certification and test development. Do you work in the industry? If so, from what organization? Thank you. Jilanak (talk) 15:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi Iulus Ascanius, just wanting to talk to you regarding the e-assessment wikipedia pageHi lulus, I work for a company called BTL which specialises in e-assessment software(btl.com) and recently we have been trying to create a larger online presence through search engine optimization and such. We are a leading e-assessment software provider for some of the largest exam bodies in the UK. Some of the people at our company have tried editing the e-assessment wiki page to include links to our companies website. We would like a mention on the e-assessment page just so that people looking for e-assessment solutions can find us. We do not want to blatantly advertise, just have a link to our company website and perhaps some of our resources. Some of our PDF files at http://btl.com/resources.asp are directly related to the subject and could be considered a valuable resource in learning about e-assessment. As you are a regular editor of the e-assessment page we would like to ask you on how we should go about putting a few links on the page without appearing to be advertising. Neither of us would like to end up in an editing war so I am asking you to state what you would consider acceptable additions to the page. We also feel that the content on that page is rather lacking and we are considering writing some more for it from a neutral point of view. Also going off topic looking at your wiki page, I see that you are interested in development and how geography relates to this. I am currently reading a book called Guns, Germs and Steel which has a lot to say on the subject of human development from a geographical point of view which would probably interest you. If you are interested in learning more about human development from a geographical point of view then I really recommend this book for you (can be bought off amazon for a few dollars). I would appreciate if you got back to me on this, Kind Regards, Keith —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keith.talk (talk • contribs) 15:50, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
I have two issues with placing that link on Wikipedia: that it does not meet Wikipedia policies and that (as you admit) the content on your page is lacking, non-scholarly, and advertisory. First, about your page. The resources presented are overwhelmingly advertisory in nature. Even the Gomersall paper and the e-assessment white paper qualify. The cases studies and press releases are more than obvious. There are similar sites that are not listed here which have a much less advertisory tone and would be much more useful because of that (http://www.questionmark.com/us/whitepapers/index.aspx, http://www.act.org/research/reports/index.html, https://www.assess.com/research.php). Second, there are the relevant Wikipedia policies. You are not supposed to promote your own stuff (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTSOAPBOX#SOAPBOX) because it is a conflict of interest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest), make it a collection of external links (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:LINKFARM#LINK), and you are definitely not supposed to place a link to promote a company or product (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming), which is the primary purpose. I’d like to put a link to my own company on this page also, but have not because of these reasons. You might wish to post on Marspedia since it is allowed there (http://www.marspedia.org/index.php?title=Marspedia:About). I’m also considering starting a new site as a central resource for testing/assessment where we don't have to worry about these policies to make links. Thanks again – and thanks for the tip on the book! Iulus Ascanius (talk) 02:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
GabaroneJust want to say thanks for your great work and images on this article. Way better than the last time I looked. For ages we were hard pressed finding a decent image!! Himalayan 16:02, 14 November 2009 (UTC) Perhaps you'd be interested in expanding Kgosi Gabarone? Himalayan 18:37, 14 November 2009 (UTC) Thanks!

I first thought that you were too harsh on Edstat, I confess, but now I see that Edstat's behavior seems prototypical trolling and harrassment, and I would like an end to it. Please respond on my user page. Thanks again for your help. Sincerely, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 00:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC) Latest newsSee my page!

Pine CityI left a comment that the anon editor needs to go to the talk page with any concerns and then I reverted the changes. You may be right about the COI. Also I feel anon editors should be require to register-accounts-before they edit. I hope this helps-RFD (talk) 21:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Removal of link and allowing another paperJust wondering why you removed watertownfreenews, and kept the watertown daily times... seems like if they both have relevant local information either keep them both or get rid of them both but don't play favorites please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.183.109.170 (talk) 03:58, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
