What I've been up to lately

I am back from a "40-day period" of self-imposed exile during which I reflected on my role at Wikipedia. I have decided to stay, of course. I think Wikipedia will always be part of my life. Uncle Ed 16:58 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

and 40 nights? :) Welcome back. Martin

user:My Green Dice is also Michael-- Green Dice, with spaces, not MyRedDice, without. Anyway, he's moving Hephaestos' page to different places; could you block him please? Thanks. Koyaanis Qatsi 01:54 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)

kq, I'd like to stop being a gatekeeper. Please contact Eloquence or another developer. Uncle Ed 16:40 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Not a problem. Koyaanis Qatsi 17:15 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Welcome back, Uncle Ed! Honestly, I've missed your twisted sense of humor :-). If you got some free time, maybe you can reorganize the Unification Church stuff. The main article is currently a bit messy with lots of headlines. --Eloquence 20:15 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I do hope you are back Ed. Your edits and especially your mediation skills have been sorely missed. :) --mav 20:58 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Welcome back, Ed. I missed your insights, your comments, and your sense of humour. Danny

Ed, we have an agreed convention on cardinals' names. It on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) and the form used is the only workable one. Everything else runs into major difficulties. They were tried and ran into hellish problems. This is the least alkward, most accurate version.

Thanks, jtd. I read the convention, and it makes sense. (Getting out of hell is bound to involve some awkwardness.) --Ed

If you have some time, can you look at the current version of Supply and demand and see if the changes are worthy (especially the new discrete example). Jrincayc 13:06 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I've noticed the term Straw man being used often by users to mean "a bad arguement", which is not the proper definition. Please see the definition listed on wikipedia of Straw man for the real meaning. Hopefully this will clear up confusion in the future. Don't feel bad, this is a common mistaken use of Straw man.
