Appreciation appreciated, thanks for the note. Ro Thorpe 13:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ro, Thanks for editing Sirius. If I think Sirius needs it I'll clarify absolute visual magnitude's relationship to luminosity. I'm really grateful for you catching that.

My better half is urging me to crank out short contributions for the practice and to complete some articles CZ has listed as being wanted. At times I'm dictating information while shaving as she types. She's urging me to embrace the Zeitgeist of crowdsourcing improving CZ articles. I'm withholding judgement for now on the wisdom of working that way.

I do have a serious question for you. I'm wondering who my audience is. I'm currently picturing an college audience but college audiences vary considerably. At times I have to explain what atoms are to business and management students in class. I'd like basic cultural information to be very accessible when I write. This has the additional advantage of allowing me to write very short article during my breaks.

What's the background of the ideas that have been floated regarding the audience for articles? I'm supposing some people advocate getting simpler articles done more quickly while other think it's best to write slowly but with more depth than what can usually be found on the internet. Am I correct in assuming this? Also, what's your opinion?

Thanks for your help on Sirius

I just learned how to use the + to make a new topic so my note is out of order above this new topic. Yours, Gary Leonard Cameron 23:30, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
