Revision of Gangrene
I had not wanted to revise what had been written. You on the other hand have gutted the page. Its a bit ridiculous for a medical information page. I did supply a lot of the corrections to mis-information and the pictures that accompanied it. I'll do a bit to revise and re-write from ground up. I might add that the divisions and separations into categories were entirely mine. Be nice to get a warning when someone zaps an article. It was on my 'to revise' list but will move up.

- The page was mostly copied from another site on the Internet, articles on Wikipedia have to be licensed under the GFDL they can't include information copied from copyright sources. There was no choice but to revert the article. I explained this on the talk page. Edward 21:13, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)
In need of a laugh

Congratulations, Edward!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 21:42, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Grounded theory article taken away - why?
Hi! As I am doing research using grounded theory (GT) and there was no article on wikipedia I edited an article for wikipedia I've written on GT before. It comes from my PhD dissertation of January 2003. I put some work into this editing and eventually saved it unto wikipedia and when I went back to check its status it was taken away. I was surprised by the watchfulness of you Edward since you referred back to a page where I published the original article some weeks ago. This page is btw a user forum for grounded theory so the content is not copyrighted as far as I know. Of course you couldnt know it was me Hans Thulesius the actual copyright owner of the article appearing in my dissertation who published it on Wikipedia and you dont know if I am Thulesius logging unto this site and writing this but I do have my name address with a major Swedish internet provider as you may be able to see. However, I wonder if there is any meaning for me to put work into writing for Wikipedia anymore? I love the idea of the site but it mustnt be too complicated for me... h.thulesius@telia.com Hans
Thanks Edward!
I want to thank you for your editing of the Grounded Theory article.
Hans

In all seriousness, haha. Interesting coincidence.--Etaonish 03:44, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
Hello
Hello, Edward, I was wondering whether the last bit on my Talk page might amuse you... but you're probably too high-minded, and quite right, too. I don't suppose I'll leave it there for very long in any case.--Bishonen | Talk 03:30, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Interesting, Thanks. Edward 08:19, 2005 Jan 12 (UTC)
Stub sorting guidelines
I sincerely believe that we really need to lay down the law in stub sorting, and really provide a guideline. I believe that we should all attempt to reach a general consensus by April 2, 2005 in a set of rules that we can follow. Once we have built a set of guidelines, we can formally create a policy out of those guidelines. We need to define what a specialized topic stub is, how many articles it should cover, when is it appropriate to create it, what defines its need for its creation, what defines its need for deletion, what criteria it should follow, what are the general steps should one take when sorting a stub, whether or not to start using subst: for all templates, whether or not use subst: for all templates created by the meta-templates, and any other matters that may come up in consideration. I thank jag123 for initially creating the subpage for the project at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Guidelines. Even though they have been discussed, I feel that we really need to confirm everything. For that, we should discuss each issue with its own sections, and raise a list of issues that we need to nail down before really continuing on. The English Wikipedia is nearly at 500k articles. Either the MediaWiki software needs to handle stubs such that they can be found with a simple union of categories, or the sorting is done manually by Wikipedians. Personally, I think the latter is less taxing on the server load, especially when we use subst:, which I think would help the Wikipedia out, performance wise. Please make your comments at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Guidelines. I apologize for making this somewhat of a spam notice, but since the project has more members, the project can finally decide on these important issues at hand. -- AllyUnion (talk) 23:22, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Western Jewish History Center
Edward,
I am the Archivist of the Western Jewish History Center, at the Judah L. Magnes Museum in Berkeley. I put up the text from the Center from one of our brochures. There is no problem with copyright, as the brochure comes from the Center and the Judah L. Magnes Museum.
If you have any further questions about this, rather than comment about the copyright of the text without checking/contacting the Center first, please contact me directly at akornblum@magnes.org or at wjhc@magnes.org
Thank you.

Sorry about that. I removed the copyright violation notice. Edward 12:55, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC)
Monowi
Hi Edward (I'm a 74yr old who is into the Wiki thing, living in Kent). I was delighted to see that you had included The Times article under Monowi, Nebraska to, as I see it, put a bit of balance into all the US articles which tend to eulogise everything about America. I love the way every article on each city/town is exactly the same: gives all the demographic facts and nothing whatosever interesting about the place itself. I see that those statistics gloss over the loss of populations. A good example is Obert, Nebraska which has the 2000 population as 58 (?) whereas the town sign according to the The Times article only shows 39.
I have included a bit under each of the states mentioned - each state article again only shows the positive side. I don't know whether you might like to cast an eye over what I have done?
Keep up the good work! Peter Shearan 10:21, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Charva
Chav should be merged into charva if anything, definatly not charva into chav. Charva was the original term and chav is a deviation of this. --Josquius 20:14, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Can you put this image on Wikicommons rather than Wikipedia so that other wikis like WikiNews can use this image. 159753 10:41, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Judæo-Aramaic redirect revert
I changed the redirect back to Judeo-Aramaic language and created a stub there. No offense intended... Tomer TALK 23:23, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
Title question
I see you wrote the stub on "Bombay Mix" - is this the same as bhelpuri? It sounds like it, but I've never heard it called this, so I'm not sure. --Mothperson 03:38, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I think you may be right that it's a packaged version of the street food. I've bought similar in U.S. Indian groceries, but it wasn't labeled as anything - I assume because the package was clear and the contents were obvious. I missed the bhelpuri article. I thought your stub was it, and I was going to expand it, but I guess I can't. Thank you for your help. --Mothperson 10:32, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
We've got the same handle!
I was wondering about the guy who took the handle "Edward" on OFTC IRC...and then I found out someone had that name here, and wouldn't you know it, it's the same guy. Of course, "Edward" is not my real name, so you deserve it more than me anyway. Autodeist 21:40, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Airport on Collaboration of the Week
As grand poobah of Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports, I recently listed airport on Wikipedia:Collaboration of the Week. This article is about to fall off the page due to lack of votes, beaten by an article on ancient rome. You know what to do Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 22:45, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
Charva 2
I've rewrote charva. It now:
- (I think) fits the criteria for passing NPOV
- States the differences between charvas and chavs
- Contains more information, and two pictures
I think its better and now is good enough to stay as is without a merger to chav. Hedley 22:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Charva should definatly not be merged into chav. Chav could maybe be merged into charva but definatly not the other way around.-Josquius
Soviet Union
Hey man, fancy weighing in on Gosplan? If you have any ideas/thoughts I'd be keen to hear them. I see you're interested in the Soviet Union :) btw. I found your username from the edit on Factory Farming. - FrancisTyers 01:07, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Book Monday Begins on Saturday category revert
I'd removed the category you added here (Monday). The name of the book has very little in common with Monday or any other day of week. The explanation is given in the article. Pavel Vozenilek 02:09, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
User:Edward/watchlist
I've noticed you link to CGI (a disambiguation page) and Victorian (a redirect page) from your watchlist... are you actually keeping an eye on changes to these pages? The reason I ask is that your page is one of the last linking directly to them, but at the same time I know what a watchlist is for. Josh Parris ✉ 03:30, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
