== 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)
 
== Thanks for your support. ==
 
Mr. David Finn: Thanks for your words supporting the existence and the lack of racism in the "White Argentine" article. Anyway, I've realized that Citizendium has too many rules and laws that prevent more possibly interested users to contribute. I really had any racist idea when i wrote it, but these are times in which you are allowed to show/demonstrate your pride if you are Black or have Black African ancestry, or if you are Amerindian or have Amerindian ancestry. Nevertheless, if you are White or have European ancestry and demonstrate it, you are automatically labelled as "racist", "nazi", etc. Besides, there are other wikisites which have an article on White Argentines in them so, this is no great loss, especially for a wikisite which only has 15,000 articles. Again, I thank you for you selfless support and contribution to the discussion. Thanks.--[[User:Pablo Martín Zampini|Pablo Martín Zampini]] 19:35, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Re re-approval of Boiling point/Draft

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.

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

Thank you. —Anthony.Sebastian 03:08, 29 February 2012 (UTC), Approval Manager.

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! David Finn 07:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
