Opinion

Please don't take my opinion that redirects are highly over valued as an insult. Thanks for taking the time to formalize. StephenW 23:47, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Rules

So will you be creating rules for me as a judge as well or should I just sort-a figure problems, assign points, add up the team's points at the end of the day? Thanks! --~BCS^Talk2ME 09:31, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Based on what was said on contest three - I would think that all you would need to do is solve conflicts (making rulings if necessary) and make sure everyone is scoring in a tidy way (because if there is a conflict, and all people have is a bunch of random diffs, it'll be hard to deal with). I mean really you're a great enough editor that everyone trusts you to act when you see fit - and that's what I would encourage you to do--I Duan 15:30, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Distorting Facts?

As per this, the user only changes He to He/she and Christianity to religion. With respect to the first case, this is a question based around the Constitution, and given that the Constitution does not disallow female presidents then the possibility of such must be recognised, even if it hasn't yet happened. As for the second, the "separation of Church and state" is not limited to Christianity (it is used in many countries with respect to Islam and Hinduism) and although the question appears in an American Government Exam it is not worded to apply only to America, and hence the phrase "censor religion" is indeed more appropriate to "censor Christianity". So while the user should be encouraged to discuss his edits on the talk page before editing course content, they are by no means "distorting the truth" or a blockable offense as a result TheGuy 00:19, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Just to clarify, the specific wording of the question is "Which of the following must be true about every President of the United States? ", not "Which of the following has been true about every President of the United States?" There is no implication of the past tense, so whether or not every President has been male is irrelevant, because the question is about the limitations imposed by the Constitution for all past, present and future Presidents, and there is nothing in it which says a female cannot be President.

Thumb

Thanks for adding the "thumb" attribute. I have had trouble remembering that it's needed if you want a caption to appear. --Ed Poor ^Talk 11:30, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Oh no problem - yeah the thumb part can be difficult to remember--I Duan 11:35, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Recruiting

May I suggest asking any past contributors of note in prior contests to join the current one? The more people we have actively involved, the better -- especially for those who have shown a past interest. Learn together 14:25, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Good idea LT! I just asked a few people--I Duan 15:48, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Whom to pick next

Give me advice on whom to pick next!--Aschlafly 18:38, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Hmm, I would say that Learn Together and Sharon are the best people out there - if you can I would say snatch them up ASAP. If both of them are taken, GregLarson could be an interesting choice - he just came back recently so he might be looking to re-establish himself.--I Duan 18:44, 12 January 2008 (EST)
