User talk:Brettz9

Welcome
Hi, Brettz9. Welcome to the Central Wikicity! I like your contribution to Why use Wikicities?. --CocoaZen 01:06, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Congratulations and best wishes on your marriage!
 * Nope, I don't speak Chinese. Except for a very few phrases, like "Ni how ma?"  The Babel template on my user page is the zh-0 one to indicate that I don't understand/speak Chinese.  I wish I were better at languages.  One thing I like about Wikicities is the chance to interact with people from around the world.
 * If you want, you can add Babel templates to your user page.
 * Hope you have fun with Wikicities! If you don't mind me asking, which Wikicities are you interested in?

Welcome, Brett. I'm also a "graduate" from Wikipedia, but mi.wikipedia.org is still what i call my "responsibilty".

I skimmed your list of wikis you'd like to see established. Maybe you need ANOTHER look through the list of wikicities! :-D

cities: does this: "to host on one wiki local and organizational wikis for small cities/groups (that didn't need or couldn't start their own)" - its "cities" have populations ranging from 30,000 to 10,000,000+ except that one's nominally a lake. Come and add your favourite stamping-ground!


 * Thanks, I removed reference to cities, but how about groups? Brettz9 05:58, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

answers: probably covers "a questions/FAQ wiki (for frequent or curiosity raising questions that might not be as readily found at Wikipedia)"

genealogy: - now with over 3,000 pages - can cover more than you might expect of "a potentially massive contact database wiki (by school attended, company worked at, location, genealogy, etc. to help people connect" - but the Wikipedians categories go a long way towards part of that ideal.

I'm close to starting (if there's any support from other contributors to wiki4all.com) a "Wikicity wiki of wikis... showcase other efforts and derivative sites; categorizing will be more powerful than mere Wikipedia:List of wikis." - see Proposed wikis near the top; then look through the rest of that page to see else what matches your ideas.

w:c:engineering: could probably accommodate a "section for likely inventions of the immediate future" and "one for technology (how to build things, make things, etc. for a common person)"

I think there's at least one "allowing people to collaboratively write articles or do original research, describe one's theories (even the most mundane), write opinions/reviews and other POV"

And someone was talking of setting one up for neologisms (not too far away from protologisms!)

Those are just the ones I've looked at.

Kind regards from New Zealand - Robin Patterson 07:58, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much...Yeah, I was just putting my to-do list up tenatively...I hadn't researched it well enough, and thanks to your help, I should have an easier time paring the list down... Brettz9 03:27, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Answers Wikicity
Hi. The answers: Wikicity is not limited to questions about wikis. I added your question to the main page as the instructions request. This makes it more likely that you might get an answer. I don't know the answer to your specific question, or I'd help. Best wishes. --CocoaZen 23:27, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks much...It's rather technical, but it'd be great to get an answer... Brettz9 06:15, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)

wikiblog
Hello, I'm interested in setting up a wikiblog site here, and you seemed like someone who might have input. Nyarlathotep 03:22, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Hello
I found your http://inventions.wikia.com when I was searching for a place to start thinking how to realize one idea, and I think it is a very nice place to start thinking about steps of realization, which are incomplete (therefore I cannot add them to our http://howto.wikia.com ), but Inventions wiki seem to be an appropriate place for such content. I hope it is fine if I do that in the Inventions wiki, is it?


 * Sorry, but I didn't start that wiki... I had a wiki called allyourideas.com and that would have been suitable, but sadly, there was so much spam and I didn't have time to maintain it, so I had to take it offline. If you don't reach the inventions wiki person, I'd still suggest giving your page a category at the inventions wiki though (put something like at the bottom of each such page), so that such types of "inventions" can be distinguished from other types.

By the way, did you know about this IAL : http://www.earthlanguage.org ? (An interesting visual one...)

 * No, I didn't... Thank you... My hope is that people who try to create or who support the idea of a world auxiliary language can work more to ask their representatives to agree to hold a global meeting to vote on choosing ANY single language, rather than to spend too much time devising a particular language which might not ever get accepted. Once there is an agreement to have an official choice, then people can offer their own ideas, including the idea of an existing language...
