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)
