User talk:Kim van der Linde

Welcome

Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitions • add metadata • edit new pages

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun!

You can find some more information about our collaboration groups if you follow this link Citizendium_Pilot:Discipline_Workgroups.You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.

Kim,

de gebruikte link is niet correct, er ontbreekt een L, zie je Robert Tito | Talk 19:58, 13 February 2007 (CST) mwa heb ut maar ff aangepast.

subpages new look

Hi Kim, just to let you know what is in the pipe line. I changed the format of your new article Barnardius zonarius to the subpages look. I think this has a lot of potential to develop articles in a way that was not possible in wikipedia. You can read more at CZ:Subpages Chris Day (talk) 15:14, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

status

Kim, welcome, I recognize your name from wikipedia. I placed your author status on your user page, but have you considered applying for editor status? You surely must be qualified and we sure could use you! Follow the links to find out how to become an editor. --Matt Innis (Talk) 17:19, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Matt, see the conversation here. Chris Day (talk) 17:37, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Ahh, never mind ;-) Hey, we need very informed authors, too! I'll be glad to perform the constable portion of the approval process if you need me... --Matt Innis (Talk) 17:45, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, interesting idea. Lets get Chris involved here and see if we might incorporate something like this into the ToApprove process so that authors might be able to request editors to look at the article. --Matt Innis (Talk) 09:19, 23 August 2007 (CDT)

not perfect

Hi Kim, It's not perfect, there are too few of us here, but it is growing steadily and surely and changing all the time. This is our project, ours collectively, and what is wrong we can put right. Won't be overnight, but the project will evolve as we stick with it. There are a number of things that need to change, but they will.Gareth Leng 03:22, 24 August 2007 (CDT)

Hey Kim, despite your concerns, I'm glad to see you are hanging around to try and get this place kick started. Your presense is welcome indeed. Chris Day (talk) 10:42, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

Userboxes

Kim, we aren't going to have userboxes on CZ. Can you explain what you're up to re these Wikipedia-sourced userbox templates? --Larry Sanger 16:35, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

To use around phylogenetic diagrams in biology articles. Kim van der Linde 16:36, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

OK, no problem. Please have a look at CZ:Subpages. Some of the things you're working on might actually be better placed on Tables (Catalogs) subpages. --Larry Sanger 16:41, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Barnardius zonarius

Hi Kim. I placed an announcement at CZ:Approval Announcements to see if an editor in the house felt they could move it forward. This may just be one of those things where time and numbers is an issue for now. It also has an image now. I did find a nice map specifically dotting their numbers on the Oz mainland, that might be a nice addition. Also, am I correct to assume that you wrote that article at WP?  —Stephen Ewen (Talk) 17:32, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

If you have a map, it can be added to the Taxobox which would be ideal. It would be a good example article for a specific species in the tree of life. And yes, I wrote most of the WP article, which was a big mess before. Kim van der Linde 17:58, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Approved!! Congrats..[1] --Matt Innis (Talk) 10:19, 14 September 2007 (CDT)

Definition

Hi Kim, re Template:Def Evolution, please see CZ:Definitions--we're looking for a definition on those "def template" pages. TIA --Larry Sanger 12:07, 6 September 2007 (CDT)

Thank you

Thank you for contributing to the anthropology articles - as we are a new workgroup all help is appreciated!

Lee R. Berger 12:23, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

delete Template:Taxobox2

Hi Kim, if you put a speedydelete template on the talk page, I can delete it. --Matt Innis (Talk) 15:48, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

Dag Kim

Beste Kim, ik heb je afscheid van WP gelezen en ik ben het helemaal met je eens. Je hebt vele wetenschappers zien komen en gaan, schrijf je, en je kan mij daarbij rekenen. Ik heb het babysitten 10 maanden vol gehouden en gedurende die tijd steeds opnieuw uitgelegd waarom bepaalde veranderingen fout waren. Toen ik achter elkaar een paar mensen trof die ik niet kon overtuigen van zeer elementaire wiskundige waarheden, ben ik ook afgetaaid. Ik kijk nog wel naar mijn watchlist maar grijp niet meer in. Ik zie langzaam maar zeker fouten in die artikelen sluipen, dat is wel interessant om te zien. Groetjes, --Paul Wormer 09:45, 13 September 2007 (CDT) (PS Ik schreef dit in het Nederlands om mijn mening een beetje in besloten kring te houden).

status box

Your IUCN status box on Black and white ruffed lemur shows an "Image" error? (but looks great!).

Lee R. Berger 12:35, 13 September 2007 (CDT)

Dog Studies - it's a boring slog for me, I'm afraid

Kim, can you see [[Talk:Dog > Draft#Proved beyond doubt]] and comment if need be? You would understand the studies much better than I would. Can't tell you how miserable I get slogging through scientific studies.... Aleta Curry 21:33, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

Blockheads

Hi, thanks for fixing that! What's strange, however, is that I *originally* had {subpages} on both the article and the talk and *not* {subpages9} -- I previewed them both and there were *some* tabs there, but they looked strange. So I put the "9" back in.... Hayford Peirce 13:25, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

Ah, I see what I did wrong -- I didn't put Blockheads into the "pagename" on the template. Geez! Thanks again.... Hayford Peirce 13:31, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

Status box on user page

Kim, does the article status box on your user page dynamically update by any chance? Does it automatically sort by status? --Robert W King 12:37, 11 October 2007 (CDT)

Yes, it automatically updates the staus per article, but I have to manually move the titles when they are changed. I am sure they can be made automatic, but I would have to think about how to do that and I rather spend thinking on other things.... Kim van der Linde 09:00, 12 October 2007 (CDT)
