User talk:Lifeartist

Hello, I've been looking at your stuff so far. It looks pretty good and appears to have value. However, it is currently in an administrative area and therefore subject to removal.

One possibility would be to check out Enpsychlopedia to see if it fits with what you are seeking to do. Assuming it can work, you will want to move your pages over before somebody else gets itchy fingers over off-topic pages.

In the unexpected event that the Enpsychlopedia wiki won't work out, you might consider submitting a proposal for a Psychology specific wikicity. However, it is my thought that Enpsychlopedia might prove to be a satisfactory venue for your articles.

Another qualified welcome
I've had a look too - after I added the standard "please find a better place for this material" message to a couple. Great material.

If there's more from Wikipedia than I have seen, that's good too. BUT YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE ITS ORIGIN (which is very easy to do with template:wikipedia). You should also include all the internal links, templates, and other clever aids, so as not to leave yourself and/or other people having to add them later when you find how useful they are. When I'm copying from Wikipedia to one of the Wikicities I help with, I copy everything straight from the Edit box, except the language interwiki links. You should too.

Another point I would recommend is that you use "sentence case" for page names (as Wikipedia does); saves a lot of work, in ways I can explain if you're interested. You'll see that I edited one of your link pages accordingly.

As the husband of a social worker who has been at the sharp end of mental health crises among her clientele, I hope you can find a good place for all your pages.

Hello again, Joe. I found your message by going through the "Recent changes", but as it's not on my regular Talk page I might never have found it; next time click the links instead of typing!

"Sentence case" has capital letters only at the start and for proper nouns, eg "Clinical psychology according to Dr Joe". As Wikipedia (whence you can expect to do more copying) uses it, and Wikicities generally follows the same standards, copying and linking will be easier if your page names follow the same standard.

It seems from your most recent comments that you aren't interested in joining in with Enpsychlopedia. That would be your choice. You could do both, though. And/or you could become one of the most active members of the established one (which could be easy because it's rather new) and add your own flavour to it. Either way, several of us will be happy to lend a hand now and again to help a non-entertainment-related wiki thrive.

More?
Joe, I've not checked every change for the last few days, but there's another page been created by someone using your name a few hours ago. Funny, though - it's about Wikipedia instead of about the page name.

I hope you are making progress with EITHER getting approval for a separate wiki OR deciding to join Enpsychlopedia. Meantime, please don't annoy the management by creating more articles in the main namespace here. If you want to create more pages, please make them subpages of your user page by prefixing "User:Lifeartist/" to each link.

Psychology wiki is really in business
Just in case you didn't know. But I presume the anonymous contributor was you. Good luck! Robin Patterson 10:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
