Ralbot (talk) 03:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC) Re:)Hello Masterpiece2000! Yes he has an arts degree! You sad something I wanted to here from someone since long ago. He deserves to have an FA, and even one of the best FAs. I would also like to expand it; it is almost empty compared to his great achievements and accomplishments. We need to try and start writing his illustrious, but the biggest concern is finding reliable sources, from newspapers and books. Best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 12:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Richard AyresThat looks like a fine start. It's already been tagged by WP Biography; I'm not a member of their project so I don't normally rate articles, but I'm sure they'll eventually get around to it. They have people who seem to do it full-time. Chubbles (talk) 08:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC) An alternate home for non-notable biographies?Hi Masterpiece2000, I see that you've been active in creating biography articles, and also being involved in AfD debates. One of the major issues, obviously, is that people create bios of individuals who others consider non-notable. It occurred to me that a reasonable course of action would be to host such bios at a site set up for the purpose, and I went ahead and set it up: www.wikipopuli.com. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the site, and to welcome any articles you'd care to post there. TheYellowCabin (talk) 22:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for February 4th, 2008.

Strange Cargo Arts CompanyYou tagged this for speedy (correctly) but (incorrectly) as patent nonsense. It wasn't nonsense, but it was promotional requiring a rewrite. Please check through Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion to pick the right rationale. Thanks. And keep up the good work! Tyrenius (talk) 14:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Maybe I should make the text small, too, because it's become quite long. Badagnani (talk) 17:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC) Theory of mind articleHello, I would be happy to help: A "theory of mind" (ToM) impairment describes a difficulty with perspective taking. This is also sometimes referred to as 'mindblindness'. This means individuals with a ToM impairment would have a hard time seeing things from any other perspective than their own. [1] Individuals who experience a theory of mind deficit have difficulty determining the intentions of others, lack understanding of how their behavior affects others, and have a difficult time with social reciprocity. [2] It is widely believed that individuals with an ASD do not possess a ToM, or have impaired ToM. In 1985, Baron-Cohen, Leslie and Frith published the first psychological research which suggested that children with autism do not employ a theory of mind. NOTE: There was a researcher who spoke to some new finding that suggests individuals with an ASD might have a ToM, but gain it later in life. I will try to find her research for you. She presented at the "Stages of Autism: Adolescence & Beyond" Conference, May 15-16, 2006, Hamilton Convention Centre. Are you adding a page with only one research article? What about doing an article on the whole topic of "ToM"? I know that most neurotypical people do not gain a ToM until age 5-6 or so. Don't quote me on this exact age (I would have to look it up), but it is an interesting topic to have an article on. Good luck, and let me know if you need any other help/suggestions. --Svernon (talk) 18:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC) RFA CardMy RFA →→→
Dear Masterpiece2000, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (29/5/5). I understand why you voted oppose, and I will take the advice that you have given. And now that I am a sysop, I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators. Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — ChetblongT C 21:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC) Reply You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

ReplyWhen a source can be found, the passage can be replaced - its not particularly well-written, anyway. And we have reliable sources that say "Atheist", so that has to be in there. The talkpage archives have a long discussion on it. Relata refero (talk) 07:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for February 18th and 25th, 2008.

Ralbot (talk) 08:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC) GAsHello, it's nice to hear from you. If you haven't significantly contributed to the article (e.g. you've reverted vandalism, or fixed a typo, minor stuff) then you can pass it for GA. Hope this helps. Regards, Keilana|Parlez ici 13:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC) I've moved it, as requested. SlimVirgin (talk)(contribs) 05:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC) Hi there...Good to meet someone else dedicated to enhancing the Richard Dawkins page. My hope is that it may eventually be considered as a featured article. AC+79 3888 (talk) 19:45, 1 March 2008 (UTC) AdminshipHi, Masterpiece. :) Good to see you. I'd be glad to give you some tips. I'd start off by wanting to know where you think you'd like to help out as an admin, which can give me some idea where you might want to work to develop & demonstrate those skills. Based on my experience with you and a look through your recent contributions, I think you're a fine content contributor. You seem always very civil in dealing with other editors. Given our collaborations, I think you'd probably do better to request an Wikipedia:Editor review to get a good (I hope), neutral (I hope) look at your work. Better to do this sooner rather than later, as it is perpetually backlogged and may take a while. :) I'll watch your talk page for follow-ups. If I seem to miss something, feel free to leave me a note pointing it out. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:37, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Robert OxnamHello PFHLai. I don't want to publicize Oxnam's illness on Wikipedia's MainPage. I think the hook "...that Robert Oxnam, author of a bestselling memoir describing his dissociative identity disorder, was president of the Asia Society for over a decade?" would be better. English is my second language. Although I am comfortable with the language, sometimes I can sound rude. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 09:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Secular humanist WikipediansHello Jc37. I noticed that the category Secular Humanist Wikipedians has been renamed to Secular humanist Wikipedians. Can you explain me the reason for the change? Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 03:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
"Bolesław Prus" has been passed as a good article, thanks to your initiative and tireless efforts. Without these, I don't know when the GA status might have been conferred. Certainly Prus's own compatriots on Wikipedia never showed interest in pursuing it. Thanks! Your friend, Nihil novi (talk) 02:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC) Years usually not wikilinked when aloneJust FYI, guidelines recommend not wikilinking to years when they are alone, without specific context and rationale for linking to them. Hence it's "(born 1951)", not "(born 1951)". On the other hand, full dates should always be wikilinked so as to ensure the date will be rendered as formatted according to the reader's date preferences; hence, "(born September 18, 1980)", not "(born September 18, 1980)". Happy editing, Robert K S (talk) 17:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
HumanistsWell, we're a varied bunch to say the least. I'm interested mainly in the beginnings of humanism in Renaissance Europe. Thanks for your kind note on my talk page.--Pericles of AthensTalk 05:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: Richard Dawkins FA StatusHello Masterpiece2000, that's great news. I really do hope that it is accepted, it would be fantastic. It will take effort to maintain, but I'm sure we could do it. AC+79 3888 (talk) 21:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Masterpiece, please see the instructions at WP:FAC regarding more than one nom at a time; I've removed the second nom, which you can re-submit once your first has garnered significant support. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

DawkinsI don't really have time to contribute to or review this one right now, though the lead looks a bit short for one thing. Richard001 (talk) 08:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: SemiprotectSemi-protection probably isn't needed now since the vandalism is manageable. But I'll be sure to keep an eye out as I have Richard Dawkins watchlisted, thanks. Spellcast (talk) 14:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
DawkinsI'll review again later, but I don't usually find mistakes throughout—I may as well copy-edit. To do so for every FAC would be a full-time job, and my intention is to have as wide a footprint as possible in the torrent of FACs. Can you research similar articles—edit history pages and edit summaries—to locate good copy-editors who are close to the field? Tony (talk) 05:22, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
RFA thanks

Ralbot (talk) 07:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Re: Richard Dawkins FA candidacyHello M2000. I'm quite saddened that the Richard Dawkins page was not accepted for FA status. I have since been looking around at other FAs, and it seems to be better than quite a lot of them. It cannot be far from the required standard. I'll continue to try to iron out any faults I see, but I cannot find much wrong with it! AC+79 3888 (talk) 21:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I, too, am baffled as to why "Richard Dawkins" was not promoted to FA. After I had done some copyediting a couple of weeks ago, I thought the article was ready. In fact, I was so irritated by the trivial changes some people kept making that I stopped following what they were doing, confident that it would pass in spite of them. How soon can the nomination be resubmitted? Nihil novi (talk) 05:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
TH3Why do you think the TH3 article should be deleted?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.104.121 (talk) 20:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Edits to Richard DawkinsHello, Masterpiece. Regarding edits to Richard Dawkins, I agree that religion should be mentioned in the lead, but I feel that the word is overused in the opening couple of paragraphs, and it does not read well as a result. Specifically here:
Perhaps we could alter it to a different word in a couple of the cases. Maybe "faith", or something similar? Regards.AC+79 3888 (talk) 13:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Awesome!Thank you for this most awesome medal; I thank you for your sincere gesture, sir. If I am late in getting this message to you I am sorry, I've been busting my hump at the Library of Congress in Washington DC today and yesterday, trying to get my gosh-darn HIST 300 research paper in order. I hope you understand! Thanks times 1,000,000, dude. Peace!--Pericles of AthensTalk 00:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
