User talk:Roscoe x

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions. Please note that simple definitions should be made at Wiktionary, rather than here. Your article on Source routing has moved there now. You can find it at Wiktionary - Source_routing.

Here's some tips:

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela . 20:44, Jan 22, 2004 (UTC)

I saw the articles you created today on Lucky Luke and Jaap - good stuff! Both were new to me, which is what is fun about Wikipedia.

But I wonder if you could try to create them a bit more in standard Wikipedia style. Tintin is a good example of what I mean, although that's a pretty big article, that a lot of people have worked on. You probably won't make something that big, at least not to start off. It's more work to write articles like that, I know, but they are much more readable and useful that way. - DavidWBrooks 14:43, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I was a bit surprised by your stub article Efficient learning method. Is this term really beig used by anybody? Also, the name "efficient" seems to make claims that are not substantiated to say the least. Perhaps they do use "alternatives to textbooks", but how efficient it ends up we do not really know, and judging by the word on the street about distance education, it probably is not as great as they make it out to be. I feel incompetent enough in this topic to stay away from it, but I would guess that we must show a more critical attitude to the bright ideas of distance education and not repeat word for word their ad brochures.

Hi, I agree wholeheartedly with what you said about computer graphics and stuff being potentially useful for some things. It's just that there is a long, sad history of similarly sounding things being pushed for teaching disciplines where such methods are at best useless. So I guess that this kind of POV has to be represented prominently in such articles. That being said, I do not have much time to dedicate to it lately, so yeah, let's trust the Wikimagic.

Hi, I just came across your article on Efficient learning method and decided to write to you about it, not knowing that someone else had already done the same. Now half a year has passed, and I think we should do something about the article. I think it could/should be merged with some similar educational topic, but I wanted to contact you before being bold. What do you think? <KF> 00:36, Oct 18, 2004 (UTC)

Image nomination

You didn't put it in right - Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. • Thorpe • 16:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi Roscoe,

I just wanted to comment on your Mont-Saint-Michel nomination on FPC. Having been around on FPC for quite a while, I realise that it might seem dispiriting to be getting so many oppose votes. However in this case it is almost a positive sign. Normally if people don't like an image you just see two or three oppose votes and no one else bothers to vote. In this case, the fact that quite a number of people have voted already suggests to me they might well have supported, were it not for the technical quality issues. -- Solipsist 22:23, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Saw your note about my id:wiki page -- it's looking great! Thanks for doing this for me!

Proposed deletion of Unpredictable event

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Unpredictable event, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Nothing more than a dictionary definition

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. — Swpb^{τ • c} 22:52, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
