==Physical activity==
== Re re-approval of [[Boiling point/Draft]] ==
Nice to see someone else editing [[physical activity]]. Aside from the clunkiness of my wording, looks like I was trying to reflect the [[National Library of Medicine]] definitions that distinguish physical activity from exercise. I think you are right that the WHO wording seems cleaner. Feel free to change and add, etc. - [[User:Robert Badgett|Robert Badgett]] 21:28, 23 November 2011 (UTC)


:I guessed that is what happened. I'll take a look at the article again presently, and thanks for getting back to me. [[User:David Finn|David Finn]] 09:40, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
David, will you please review Milton's responses to your comments on th Talk page regarding [[Boiling point/Draft]], and note on the Talk page whether you consider them satisfactory, and if not, why not.


== Thanks ==
Also, would you give your assessment of the article as to its meriting re-approval.


David, thanks for the format help for [[Biolinguistics/Bibliography]]. Bedtime beckoned before I could finish.  Nice of you to take on a tedious chore. Do you have an automated way to do it?  [[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] 00:06, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. —[[User:Anthony.Sebastian|Anthony.Sebastian]] 03:08, 29 February 2012 (UTC), Approval Manager.


:My pleasure, Anthony. I know precisely nothing about biolinguistics but the great thing about it being a wiki is that we can all help in little ways. I just copy/pasted the asterisk and went down the page adding it to each line. The hard work was already done by you, and thanks for being one of our top contributors.

:I see the approval process overtook my timeframe for answering these questions. Well done Anthony, in just a few weeks you managed our first article approval in a very long time! Ok, only a re-approval, but it's a good start. For the record I think the small addition to the introduction of the draft article made a big difference to the amount of people who would try to use that article. My concerns were the same as yours - of course we shouldn't eliminate the scientific information, that would be ridiculous, but we should certainly try where possible to introduce all readers to a topic in a way they can understand, with increasing complexity as the reader progresses. That is, of course, why we have subpages and the like. Keep up the good work! [[User:David Finn|David Finn]] 07:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
