User talk:Drj
Hello there, I would like to express a belated welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or drop me a line. BTW, there is a case sensitive bug in the current wikipedia software that prevents the "Contributions of" link to work for user names that start with a lowercase letter (like "drj" of "maveric149") -- the software insists on capitalizing the first letter for this link, but user names are case-sensitive (unlike the first letter of regular articles). Here is your link. Nice work on the Helicopter and the Compiler optimization articles. Cheers! --maveric149

Hey, Drj -- I was looking at the edit you made on Mountain Unicycling and wanted to point out that "i.e.," essentially means "that is"...if you changed it for stylistic reasons, fair enough, but I thought I would point it out just in case you thought "i.e.," was being used inappropriately. I don't care enough to change it back :) -- Paul Drye
Thanks for the note. I changed it stylistic reasons. I'm sure it was at least suggested in a wikipedia style guide somewhere. I can't be bothered to find said guide right now. I think that the "no i.e." and "no e.g." style should be adopted in any case. Most professional publications follow the same guidelines. --drj
Oh, I see you are a professional writer. That makes my comments rather embarrassing. Never mind. --drj
Your welcome :-) -- Wikipedians/Alex
Page name for temperature articles[edit]
To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Your user page[edit]
Hi Drj, I have imported all your old user pages and talk pages from the Nostalgia Wikipedia, a copy of the Wikipedia database from 20 December 2001. I've imported your old talk page to User talk:Drj/Old. Hope you don't mind. Graham87 01:47, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article IA-32 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IA-32 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. � (talk) 12:40, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Dear Drj,
I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.
