You say "de-democratizing" like it's a bad thing.[edit]

Thanks for the "Chuckle". DoubleBlue (Talk) 19:56, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for helping me with my orbit calculations in the referance desk. It's exactly what I needed! Zhatt 23:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey[edit]

I just noticed your vote for me in the Arbcom elections (and thank you for voting). You are the same Chuck Carroll who went as "Down with 815!" for several weeks some years back, no? If so, hi! Kelly Martin (talk) 15:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks[edit]

Thanks for adding the semicolon to my edit of omnipotence paradox! Just what it needed. (Now that I see your change I do recall a vague feeling of unease. Next time I'll pay more attention.) --kop 23:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's new?[edit]

Hey there!

Hope all's well. I wanted to find out what's the latest with your pet peeve regarding misinformation the Project. Perhaps there's something I can help with... --Folajimi 13:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What about misinformation that keeps getting repeated? Like "warmer air holds more water" in humidity ad related articles? I too believed the same thing until I really dug into the nerdpages out there. And unfortunately, pages like Solar Power get copied by many other wikis and answers.com, complete with the errors and sometimes with the (needs citation) tag! 82.93.133.130 12:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tips of the day[edit]

Somewhere I found you said the following:

When editing a Wikipedia article, the easiest way to insert special characters is clicking on the special character in the box below the "Save page/Show preview/Show changes" buttons. More generally, on a Windows machine, you can enter special characters by using the Alt code for that character: hold down the Alt button while typing the correct number on the keypad (must be the keypad, with "Num Lock" on, not the digit keys above the letters): e" is Alt-0235, and o^ is Alt-0244. You can also insert special characters--as well as find out the Alt codes for characters that have them, at Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map. Chuck 14:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which is a really helpful tips, especially the Alt code part, since I often found the box provided in wikipedia to contain too much characters and I always have to spend quite some time finding the location of the character I want. I've searched the tips of the day and it seems this havn't been mentioned. Maybe you could add this tip at Wikipedia_talk:Tip_of_the_day. Thanks. --Lemontea 02:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Man I wish a laptop running Linux could do the same thing (without finding obscure Italian code and recompiling endlessly : ) 82.93.133.130 12:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Collection of long-lived misinformation in Wikipedia[edit]

I would have known that two of the "facts" were wrong off the top of my head - chromates and palindrome. I have an excellent science background and my ACT results were quite high many years ago. Thanks for giving me something unfortunate that was interesting. I am not positive about IRL podium finishes so I don't plan to comment. Royalbroil 20:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK[edit]

Updated DYK query On January 15, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rumpke Sanitary Landfill, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Notifying of move to Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts)[edit]

Per comments on the talk page, I have moved the guideline into project space for wider discussion. Just letting you know as a contributor to this page Fritzpoll (talk) 16:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 Indy 500[edit]

Great work on the quals chrono, if I recall, you did it last year too. Seems the 2008 Indianapolis 500 page has been thwarted by a Wiki "stick-in-the-mud" who has nothing better to do than criticize other people's pages and other people's hard work. A quick check shows he's never even made the first edit on the page. I've tried making the case. Thanks. Doctorindy (talk) 01:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Doctor of Juridical Science, has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Stephen (talk) 04:26, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RFC[edit]

I noticed that you participated in a previous RFC at Wikipedia talk:Notability (criminal acts)/Opinions. I was wondering if you might share your opinion here: RFC: Should Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts) be merged with Wikipedia:Notability (events) and Wikipedia:Notability (people)? Thanks!

Re: RHR in the 41[edit]

At the time of reverting, there were no major (indycar.com, IndyStar etc.) sources having had reported the switch, and one source even stated "the move is subject to approval by IndyCar" and that it "will be filed on Tuesday". So, at the time, yes there were no reliable sources concretely stating the fact, hence my comment saying to wait for an official starting grid to deter others from making the changes based on - at the time - ill-reliable sources.

Heartland FF[edit]

Hey Chuck, any idea why there is no column for "Crystal Heart Award" in the awards table? – Lionel (talk) 10:32, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
