Welcome to my talkpage.  If you leave a message here, I will reply here.  Similarly, if I post to your talk page, I will have the page on "watch" and will look there for a reply.  I just find it handier to keep all of a conversation in one place.  Thanks!

You can find some more information about our collaboration groups if you follow this link [[CZ:Workgroups]].You can always ask me on my talk page or others about how to proceed or any other question you might have.
Have fun and Happy editing!

==May 22 still ==
Apologies. I have become over-sensitive to criticism (most especially guised as "trivial questions") and by the time I went back to erase my inappropriate reply to your perfectly reasonable and nice question, you had already seen it, and answered. I'm a bit red-faced, I assure you. Let me give it another try: Generally, edit summaries are only filled out as an indication for why a change has been made. Although that's imnportant when working on the wiki, in the approvals notice board today I kept making dumb mistakes in formatting and spacing and the like, and so never put anything in the summary. I'm a little off my game today (can't you tell?:-) - I never noticed that font business. Probably it's there because that's the title of the section- May 22, and the other stuff just makes it look red to make the section stand out. Like here- if I don't put anything in edit summary when I save the page it will probably come out "May 22 still". I think Citzendium is great, too- and unfortunately, I've become a great big crank. Need a break, and sorry to take it out on you. [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 12:21, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

No problem :) While doing some work for [[CZ:Statistics]] I see some pages that need a minor cleanup. BTW, much more complicated cases exist ;-) --[[User:Aleksander Stos|Aleksander Stos]] 06:45, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

:Oops!  No time-travelling for me... [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 11:59, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
== Irish related articles ==
Oh, very good. To be honest I put no work towards [[Kingdom of Oriel]] and liked the wikipedia version, so I left it as it was. If I come across anything relevant such as that I will add it to the 'see also' section. :) [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 09:33, 8 August 2007 (CDT)
Oh, thanks! I'll move towards it soon, sometime before the end of the week anyway. I'm looky enough to have had a grandfather obsessed with this kind of stuff and so have a lot of obscure sources locking in our attic somewhere. It'll be kinda fun to add on to it!

:The new version looks much better - replaced the image on [[Dublin]] with the new one. Thanks again. [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 05:47, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
== Easter Rising ==
He Anton, was wondering if you could anything to the [[Easter Rising]] article? I was going to write something about De Valera but I'm afraid it will be horribly biased against him if I do. Turns out that I'm a committed Collins-ite! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 05:21, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
:I can certainly have a look at it over the weekend, though I'd be in the same camp as yourself :P  Ideally, I think, we'd have a short paragraph on all the main leaders (with full articles to follow).  Just one thing - you might want to cast your eye over [[CZ:Article Mechanics]], which is the Citizendium style guide.  Good work, though, its a nicely balanced article.  [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 05:52, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I think seven of them have their own little article - I'm hoping to do a Pearse main article at some stage. [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 05:55, 10 August 2007 (CDT)
==Workgroups==

==fada==
How do you do those fada's on Eamon? [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 11:25, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
:On Windows XP, hold the 'Alt Gr' key (the one to the immediate right of the spacebar) down while typing the vowel you want the fada to appear over.  Capitals with a fada are a pain: Shift + AltGr + vowel :P [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 11:36, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
Thanks. This will make me feel like an Pátriot (definately not an irish word :P)
== Valera picture ==
Regarding to the [[Eamon de Valera]] picture, I just discovered that the label on the library picture was "E. de Valera" instead of "Eamon de Valera", if you have any knowledge on Ireland, can you verify whether it is the photo of the Irish president or another E. de Velera? Thanks! [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 14:21, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
:Thanks for the clarification, so are we ready to replace the picture with King's modified one yet? Best. [[User:Yi Zhe Wu|Yi Zhe Wu]] 22:50, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

==Weekly Wiki==
I'm going to be on for the next two hours today... I'm at work and practically no-one else is in the office. We should collaborate on something Irish, not sure what exactly. I made a start at my home county of [[County Monaghan|Monaghan]], but I am looking for something else to do, something relative recent? [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 10:03, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
:Just started [[Counties of Ireland]], but then work interfered :P.  Oh - still need to checklist that...  Collaboration welcome!  Alternatively, if you wanted to tackle something bigger, [[Irish War of Independence]] could be something to look at?  Or if you want something more recent - we've no bios on any of the modern Irish politicians - [[Bertie Ahern]] or [[Mary McAleese]] could be goos starting points, and then move down?  [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 10:11, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
::The Irish War of Independance would be a bit rusty, but I'll make a start on Bertie :) [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 10:25, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
:::Heh. :-)  I would like to see that covered sooner rather than later, though. Following on from the [[Easter Rising]], it leads naturally into an [[Irish Civil War]] article - then onto [[Troubles in Ireland]] (or something with a better title!) and [[Peace process in Northern Ireland]] - thus covering the major events in the [[Ireland, hisory of|history of the island]] in the 20th and early 21st centuries nicely.  But yeah - small steps, and pick topics you have the energy/enthusiasm for.  That'd be a lot of work.  Might get to have a quick look at Bertie this evening but I'm not sure if I'll be let (its actually '''sunny''' out!) [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 10:33, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
lol, Don't worry, I understand that alright! I thought since I'm stuck at work I should do something productive, you know? I'm getting out at six though so you won't see me for love or money. I've a little bit down for Bertie, but don't worry about it, you have a chance to be in the sun, so take it! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 10:40, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

== User pages ==
Dear Anton, I was a bit surprised by the biography you put on [[User:Kraig Smith]]. I feel it's too much of an advertisement. I'd appreciate it if you could have a look with this in mind. If you decide that it's okay, then that's fine with me; it doesn't bother me that much. Best wishes, [[User:Jitse Niesen|Jitse Niesen]] 07:49, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
:No, I agree.  Bio adjusted. [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 09:21, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
==Staary Anto==
Always wanted to do that :-)
I've put up the [[Anglo-Irish War]], its a rough draft but I think we can work towards improving it, if only visually for the moment. Its a sunny day though so I don't hold out much hope for me after work this week! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 09:00, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
: ...
:Good work on the article.  As for the section heading above - I'd say something but then I'd have to replace it with a {nocomplaints} template! :P [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 16:32, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
lol, not a northsider I take it! I'm going to be working on expanding a lot of my articles today (slow day in the office alas) so if you want to jump in on any feel free :-) [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 03:34, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
:Roysh, that's the first time I've been accused of being a skanger.  And by someone living in the bog, no less!  OMG!  If my Dubes wouldn't get wrecked, I'd jump in the Beemer and head down there so fast... ;-)  (Yep, should be about a bit today...) [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]]
No point in me making a new title for this message, but take a look at my userpage and see the 'course of Modern Irish History'. If there is anything you think should be added in there feel free! (I'm sure I'm leaving things out of the troubles for example)
I'm also thinking of adding in a section of films, popular novels etc. set during famous epochs of Irish History. Things like The Wind That Shakes the Barley is ''such'' a good film it deserves its own article [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 06:44, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
:Ambitious list, but you've a good start there already.  The only obvious omission from the southern side of the border I can spot is the [[1914 Lockout]].  Maybe something on Ireland during WWII aswell - though that's covered somewhat in another article.  Films - yep, there's no reason whatsoever they can't have their own articles - just where necessary, as with [[Michael Collins]], pointing out "Eh... may not have happened like this really..." [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 10:33, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
lol, I think an article for [[Poetic License]] needs to be created though! [[User:Denis Cavanagh|Denis Cavanagh]] 10:35, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
:The article can read: '''Poetic license:''' See [[Braveheart]]." [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 10:38, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

== Naming conventions ==
Hi Anton.  I was never comfortable with the insularity of the WP cricket project around naming and this is turning over a new leaf.  There's no doubt that, whatever the media or Google counts might indicate, there is a huge percentage of people everywhere who think cricket is a thing that goes ''Neek''! ''Neek''! all night long.......
Best regards.  --[[User:John Leach|John Leach]] 00:48, 19 September 2007 (CDT)
== Thanks for volunteering for wikiconverting ==
Anton, thanks for joining in.  And for commenting re Word tables.
== Your comment to me ==
Dear Anton
Thanks for the welcoming remarks.
Now to the substance of your message to me.
I am and have always been a great believer in division and delegation of labor. There are those who are best at creating substative text and there are those who excel in copy-editing and formatting it. There is no way I could have supplied the close to twenty articles in less than a week if I had to learn and follow all your rules and regulations on format and worry about crossing "t"s and dotting "i"s. Besides I'm an old man, retired, without the help of a secretary, and not too prone to learn new tricks. Having said that I will try learning by experience and in fact have modified my style of summission already.
Please bare with me and help me do what I am best at and not good at doing myself.
Much obliged.
Arnold
== Martial arts ==
Anton...wondering if this article should be under Martial arts (General), then we'd have a set of articles - Eastern, Western, and General - with a disambiguation page under Martial arts (disambiguation) pointing to all three. Thoughts?  --[[User:Michael J. Formica|Michael J. Formica]] 08:11, 19 November 2007 (CST)
:Hi Michael.  That's certainly one way of doing it - but it gives us four articles.  Looking at [[CZ:Naming_Conventions#Disambiguation_in_page_titles]], I'd be inclined to go with just three, having the [[Martial arts]] page be something of a 'general' article in itself, while pointing to the eastern and western articles and the catalog.  What do you think? [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 08:37, 19 November 2007 (CST)
== Hilda Geirnger ==
Good job Anton
However there are still 9 notes (i-ix) that need to be wikified as endnotes am I wrong? Also there is a photo that needs to be spliced in. Or isthat someone else's domain?
Cheers
Arnold
== Hilda Geirnger ==
Would it help if I sent you a Word or PDF copy of the original (prior to inputting into the Citizendium site) draft.
All notes are properly identified there but your system seems to obliterate that information. Hows come?
If you want to see what was submitted please provide a direct  e-mail address so I can attach the files.
Arnold
== Hilda Geirnger ==
All notes should be referenced in the text and numerically shown at the end of the article as are the others you have worked on.
== Turkey and the Holocaust  ==
Plese Help!!!!!
I screwed up trying to fix someone else's error.
There are now two paragraphs in the references which belong inside the text.
I have fixed one as a footnote but that too should be in the text at the proper place as well.
Just shows to go you!
One should stick to doing what one is best at.
Cheers--[[User:Arnold Reisman|Arnold Reisman]] 18:46, 28 November 2007 (CST)
:Fixed - you'd just left off the closing <nowiki></ref></nowiki> tag.  Its something I have trouble with too, sometimes - I had to correct about a dozen of my own referencing errors on the Geiringer article last night for pretty much the same reason :-)  Note that you can always "go back a step" to revert your own changes to the last "good" version - just click on the 'History' tab of the article, and you'll see an "undo" option. [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 13:38, 29 November 2007 (CST)
Anton
Where can I find the button that allows me to inser a footnote someting to the effect <ref>
I dont see that in the above as is the case with[[Link title]]or
<nowiki>== Headline text ==</nowiki> or [http://www.example.com link title]</ref>
PLEASE ADVISE-- [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 02:59, 30 November 2007 (CST)
Hi Arnold, you need to put the following code at the very end of any page containing references to make them display:<br>
<nowiki>==References==</nowiki><br>
<nowiki><div class="references-small"><references/></div></nowiki><br>
Once that is in, all references will appear "automagically" in the right order at the bottom of the page.  I'm adding that code to ''this'' page, so the "reference" you put in above should now appear. Note that you ''always'' have to make sure to put in a closing reference tag <nowiki></ref></nowiki> at the end of the footnote - otherwise, the program assumes that the whole rest of the page is part of the footnote. [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 02:59, 30 November 2007 (CST)
==References==
<div class="references-small"><references/></div>
== Hilda Geiringer ==
Hi Anton
Followed your suggestion to break the article up into titled sections.
This however made me rethink the article's logic flow.
Hence some rearrangement of paragraphs.
You are welcome to do more in this regard.
Arnold--[[User:Arnold Reisman|Arnold Reisman]] 11:38, 30 November 2007 (CST)
Hey Anton
Good job!
We make a good team.
Cheers
Arnold--[[User:Arnold Reisman|Arnold Reisman]] 17:08, 30 November 2007 (CST)
Anton I still cant do the notes/references. So please create note 26 to read: Proofreading by Dr. Karin Doerr - Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.
And strike that from note 25.
Thanks
== Two new articles  ==
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Carl_Ebert
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Margarete_Sch%C3%BCtte-Lihotzky
The way these were entered should make wikifying a lot easier.
Yes or no?
Who should I send the images to?
Please advise.

== Citizendium charter drafting commitee nomination ==
Hi Anton,
You've been nominated by a fellow Citizendium member to be a candidate for election to the Citizendium charter drafting committee. 
If you haven't been following the discussion in the forums, we're getting ready to establish a charter for Citizendium that outlines the project's goals, ideals, and basic structure.  To get the process moving, we put together a plan for electing a group of Citizens to compose a draft of the charter, which will then be submitted for community review.  You can find more about the plan [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee|here]].
You've been nominated by another Citizen to be a candidate for election to that committee.  The next step is up to you: you may either accept or decline the nomination by going [[CZ:Charter_drafting_committee/Nominations|here]] and following the instructions at the top of the page.
If you have any questions, just let any of those who accepted know. [[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] 15:05, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

::Sorry about that.  It was a standard message I was leaving for everyone who hadn't replied; I didn't look to see when each person was nominated.  We need twenty people to accept before we can move on to the next stage and we have 19 right now, so I hope you will accept.  I think you'd be a good person to have on the committee. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 13:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Sending a quick ‘hello’ out to all of you who wanted a weekend write-a-thon.  Also, a nudge, push, and a shove to all those who haven’t made it out in a while.  This Sunday, 10th January, is your [[CZ:Monthly Write-a-Thon|Big Chance]].  Party theme is ‘stubs’.  Now, what could be easier?  Write about anything you want!  (At least come on over and say ‘hi’—we’ve all been much too quiet lately and I rather miss everybody.)

There has been a mistake on the Management Council Ballot.  Howard C. Berkowitz was left off this ballot.

If you had checked the page history you would have noticed that I had done some edits to the article in question. I haven't done much as I've been busy with other things. As I am a volunteer, meaning not a paid writer here, you can expect work to be done when I have time. Please delete the page forthwith since you lack the patience for the page to be edited by me or anyone else. This is a wiki after all. Wikis are meant to share the writing experience.[[User:Mary Ash|Mary Ash]] 17:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
== Re [[Ammonia production]] ==
Anton, thanks for fixing that spelling error in the Approved version. Also, if you will look at the History of the Draft version, I revised a wiki link at 16:40 on May 32, 2010 and that same revision needs to be made in the Approved version.
The reason for that wiki link revision is that the [[Catalysis]] article was created quite a while after the [[Ammonia production]] article was approved. Regards, [[User:Milton Beychok|Milton Beychok]] 23:34, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
== Orestes and Oedipus ==
I do not understand why you deleted these two pages.
I have removed John's speedydelete because the issue could be resolved without deletions and moves and without loss of history.
(I copied the long definition to the page and adapted the definition.)
I do not know why he restored the speedydeletes.
I think the files should be undeleted instead of moving the definitions.
