Just click on [[Category: Computers Authors]] on the bottom of your user page. That will take you to the 'Computers Workgroup' page. There you see the "Computers Workgroup" template. Right under all articles, there's a "Recent Changes" link. That links is specifically for articles tagged "Computers Workgroup" that have changed recently... it won't list all edits, just "Computers Workgroup" edits

Hi. Thanks for contributing to CZ!  I hate to have to tell you this but one or more images you recently uploaded are lacking clear copyright data.  Please carefully review the image(s) you uploaded while referencing [[Help:Images#Copyrights|Images Help&mdash;Copyrights]]. Please fix the problem rapidly, as the image(s) will otherwise have to be deleted.  Thanks!  &mdash;  [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 04:25, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

:See [[Help:Images#Images_by_permission_and_documenting_releases]]. This lacks with [[:Image:Gnome_screenshot.png]] and needs fixing. Thanks! &mdash; [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 12:30, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Hey I threw a comment up at [[Talk:Linux]] about the screenshot change --[[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]] 12:57, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
 
== praise for Linux and Linux kernel effort ==
I appreciate the work you and Eric M Gearhart are pouring into the Linux pages.  It is my intention to help out; however, I'm about to have to "go away" and dive into real work for two or possibly three weeks.  So please don't be discouraged if I'm unresponsive.  I expect to be back.  I image you two will have conquered the world by then :-)[[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] 04:53, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

lol yes I've known about the Eric conspiracy for some time... never got around to emailing ESR and getting on the page though :) --[[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]] 06:48, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
 
== commenting ==
Josh, with this <nowiki><!----- comment ----></nowiki> you can comment something. For the to be approved tag there is a due date set. Any change in the page leads to a new ID, you can retrieve these using the history tab for the lastest version. You only replace the ID number with the new one and thats all to it. The Toapprove template needs being enhanced by at least two otheer editors, so you can ask two others to add their name to the tag I inserted. cheers.

==w00t!==
Do you realize if the Tux article gets approved it'll be the first approved Computers article on CZ? w00t! lol --[[User:Eric M Gearhart|Eric M Gearhart]] 13:49, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 
== Tux/Draft ==
 
Joshua, once the original gets approved it will be copied to Tux/Draft by the constable.  Any edits that you make to that page now will get overwritten when it is moved (unless someone makes some heroic efforts).  I would suggest you keep making changes to the original.  The Approval template points to the version that gets approved, any changes that you make to it now won't show up in the Tux approved version, but they will still be transferred to Tux/Draft. Make sense.  Keep working over at Tux and we'll move it over to Tux/Draft when it gets approved. Keep up the good work!  Congrats on your first approval (hopefully!) --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 16:54, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 
:Josh, the help pages about approcing an article in the help pages must be followed. Only editors are allowed to create a draf page and ONLY after an article has been approved. Yes only editors can do it. To get the toapprove tag really forceful, you need one or two other editors to have the same opinion. The fourth (ideealy) can then approve the article at the due date creating the draft article in the process. Being enthusiastic is no sin, creating way many drafts will give us cluttering and no streamline. Nevertheless I do hope other editors will join me in the toapprove and approve status.

Good work on the move.  Notice I also did [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Talk%3ALinux&diff=100076188&oldid=100075563 Linux/Draft] as well.  Looking good. --[[User:D. Matt Innis|Matt Innis]] [[User talk:D. Matt Innis|(Talk)]] 17:45, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
 
== do not modify the templates ==
 
Josh, as I stated previously editors approve and set an approval date, you can ask a template to be changed but do not do it on your own. It is the same as every author putting a toapprove or approved template on a page without any editor to be involved. The citizendium rules are very clear about it, and that distinguishes us from WP. check [[CZ:Project Home]]. Yes it takes more time but it ensures quality and for that reason you joined CZ.

Thanks for the note.

Now that I think of it , it probably wise for you to remove the name of your school from the user page. Ill let you do it. Cheers David Tribe 23:08, 10 April 2007 (CDT)


Hi Joshua. "kill two birds with one stone" is a 'proverbial saying'; a colloquialism is different, it is a written expression that tries to mimic the informal things we say in speaking - it's from colloquy meaning speaking together, and it includes slang and words that are misused. If you write that something is a no-brainer for example, you're using a colloquialism. (I'm looking here at the Chamers Dictionary of Etymology to confirm this.) Some novelists use colloquialisms extensively to generate atmosphere - don't know if you've read "Trainspotting" by Irvine Welsh, set in my home of Edinburgh; if you try you'll find it tough, because he writes almost wholly in Scots colloquialisms.
