User talk:Johnkarp

Hi John.
Since I didn't find an email address for you, I assume that you'll see this note if I post it here, and then you can delete it once you've read it. I appreciate your help with the categorization of the Choice Theory entry. I'm not entirely sure on what grounds you perfer "popular psychology" to "psychology" as a category -- the implication being that this is just popluar "stuff" but not to be taken seriously. And that I think is incorrect.
Glasser is an MD and a board licensed psychiatrist with some 50+ years of clinical experience. He is certainly a recognized authority in his field. So, to categorize his work as "popular psychology" is perhaps a disservice to him and those who consult the Wikipedia.
Have you read his recent (2003) book WARNING: Psychiatry Can Be Hazardous to Your Mental Health ? It's your edit and your call, so I'm not reverting it. Please think about it.

Fermentation

Hi- I liked your contributions to the Fermentation article and I was pleased to see the Steinkraus reference you added. He was my Master's thesis advisor at Cornell. I now work at the Agricultural research service on non-food topics, but I still haunt food-related wikipedia pages. Happy editing! ike9898 13:15, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)

Psychological/Psychiatric categories

Hi there, I notice you have been tweaking these categories. I had a go at doing a DSM type tree as you might have noticed. I have left a message on User talk:Sietse Snel that you might want to have a look at suggesting a way that both disciplines might access the categories. Sietse is a psychology student and I presume you in the psychology field also. You might like to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychopathology. There is also a review page, Wikipedia:WikiProject Psychopathology/Review where people can list what they are up to. All the best. --CloudSurfer 22:31, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Free-reed aerophones

I'm just wondering why you recategorized several free-reed musical instruments into a new category called "Sets of Free Reeds." Hornbostel-Sachs notwithstanding, I've never heard that category name in common use. See WP:NC and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names).

Anyway, I do think that moving "Free-reed instruments" to "Free-reed aerophones" was a good choice. Maybe the instruments should be included in both "Free-reed aerophones" and "Sets of Free Reeds." --Theodore Kloba 18:28, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)

English words of Indo-European origin

Hi, Johnkarp. Are you going to come back to this article? In a way it's your baby, so we need you to say something on its talkpage about where you think it is going. (You will have noticed that it has been renamed! My suggestion, though someone else did it.) --Doric Loon 14:15, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hawthorne effect and Experimental design

Hello, John,

I'm working on the Hawthorne effect article and discovered the Category: Experiment design page that you created (I believe). I know nothing about experimental design, so I'd like to know what you think about adding the Hawthorne Effect to the list. DBlomgren 01:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of RealAge

A tag has been placed on RealAge requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- WebHamster 03:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Johnkarp! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Warda Al-Jazairia - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Speedy deletion nomination of Warda Al-Jazairia

A tag has been placed on Warda Al-Jazairia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
