==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]] [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] [[User talk: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.  --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 17:19, 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... --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 17:45, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
 
Hmm, [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Barnardius_zonarius 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.  --[[User:D.

==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.[[User:Gareth Leng|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. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] [[User talk: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? --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 16:35, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
:To use around phylogenetic diagrams in biology articles. [[User:Kim van der Linde|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. --[[User:Larry Sanger|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?  &nbsp;&mdash;[[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]]&nbsp;[[User talk: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. [[User:Kim van der Linde|Kim van der Linde]] 17:58, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
 
Approved!!  Congrats..[http://www.hetrad.nl/forum/emoticons/21.gif] --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 10:19, 14 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, --[[User:Paul Wormer|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!).

== 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.... [[User:Aleta Curry|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.... [[User:Hayford Peirce|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.... [[User:Hayford Peirce|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? --[[User:Robert W King|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....

== Johannes Diderik ==
 
Hi Kim, could you approve my short article on [[Johannes Diderik van der Waals]]? I ask you because you are a fellow countryperson  of J.D. van der Waals.  Robert Tito (also Dutch) approved already [[van der Waals equation]], so, to avoid inbreading, I like to ask now another Dutch person. --[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 10:18, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

== [[Odinism]] ==
 
Kim, I had to remove the {{tl|speedydelete}} from Odinism as I noticed that one of the editors is also a referenced author on the website[http://amapedia.amazon.com/view/%C3%81satr%C3%BA/id=151222].  I will have to ask [[User:Mark Mirabello]] if it is his information.  I'll get back to you.  --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 22:05, 18 October 2007 (CDT)
 
Don't bother.  See the talk page. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 22:07, 18 October 2007 (CDT)
 
That will teach me to skip the talk page! --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 22:15, 18 October 2007 (CDT)
: Me too! The article sucks in many ways regardless. [[User:Kim van der Linde|Kim van der Linde]] 22:16, 18 October 2007 (CDT)
 
== Gefeliciteerd? ==
 
Het blijkt dat binnen CZ nogal speciaal gedaan wordt over het editeurschap, dus proficiat! Wel toevallig trouwens dat je het nu wordt (zouden de Bobo's Nederlands lezen?). In elk geval kan je nu het artikel over JDvdW goedkeuren, dan is dat uit de weg. Groetjes,--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 03:54, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
 
== JDvdW again ==
 
Hi Kim, I saw that you made a number of improvements in [[Johannes Diderik van der Waals]]. I fully agree with them, and thank you for that, except for one (which I don't know how to adapt). The term "van der Waals force" is very ambiguous, which I explained in [[Van der Waals force]]. Unfortunately not many textbook writers realize this, so when you open up one textbook, you find wich much aplomb a definition, which in another book, with as much aplomb, may be different. Now in "related articles" you write
:''A weak attractive force between atoms or nonpolar molecules caused by a temporary change in dipole moment arising from a brief shift of orbital electrons to one side of one atom or molecule, creating a similar shift in adjacent atoms or molecules''
and this is indeed one of the possible definitions (it is a handwaving definition of the London dispersion force). But it is not the only possible definition. This text being hidden in a template, I cannot change it.--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 08:09, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
 
::I added a number of references and changed the definition of van der Waals force (JDvdW did not know about "shifts in orbital electrons": electrons were discovered in the 1890s, electron orbits in 1911).--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 08:48, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
 
 
:::We did the same thing: you to the main article, I to the bibliography. :-) --[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 08:51, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
 
 
== Dr. Mirabello Calling ==
 
I left wikipedia because of the battles there.  Must we do it again?  --[[User:Mark Mirabello|Mark Mirabello]] 15:07, 19 October 2007 (CDT)
 
==Pandas==
Quick check of current practice in the use of scientific and common names in the real world.
 
Looking at the title of articles listed in Biological abstracts ,
there are  150  instances of Giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). 181
of just Giant pandas, 3 of just  Ailuropoda melanoleuca, and zero of
Ailuropoda melanoleuca (Giant Panda)
You mention a discussion of this--just where?[[User:DavidGoodman|DavidGoodman]] 09:47, 25 October 2007 (CDT)
:At the biology work group talkpage where it should be as there it can be sen by anybody.[[User:Kim van der Linde|Kim van der Linde]] 10:38, 25 October 2007 (CDT)
