Hi, please post new messages on the bottom of article talk pages. Otherwise people won't notice them. Hekerui (talk) 20:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mind=blown, noob ... I enjoy that kind of talk as much as the next guy, but try to avoid such terms at least when discussing articles, because there may be users unfamiliar with those terms. Regards Hekerui (talk) 20:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Adamlankford (talk) 20:52, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't mean memes aren't welcome, but they have to be encyclopedic. Just look at the contributions of the Bacon Cabal :) Hekerui (talk) 21:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adam, just so you know, people are generally entitled to control the contents of their own talkpages, including deleting warnings, removing messages without archiving them, and even blanking the page. See WP:BLANKING. (This applies even if the user is annoying!) All the best—  Glenfarclas  (talk) 20:52, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I think he's indef-blocked anyway!  Glenfarclas  (talk) 21:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, my revert has been undone by an admin, so (to all intents and purposes) you were right and I was wrong, at least concerning blocked users. Sorry for troubling you —  Glenfarclas  (talk) 20:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Dentistry -- Update

[edit]

Hey there! Over the past year or so, the WikiProject Dentistry has fallen into disrepair. Dozenist hasn't been around in nearly 2 years, and after some email communication, he's indicated that he's no longer interested in heading the project. In fact, the project has been labeled inactive since November 2010!

My plan is to focus less on internal bureaucratic policy and more on article creation, article clean-up and article maintenance. That's why people use Wikipedia to search for dental topics -- because it contains wonderfully explained, wonderfully formatted information on relevant topics, not because there are 5 dental articles featured as GA or 7 articles featured as such. So if that's what you like, don't let me stop you, but I think the focus should be on, as I said, article creation and article maintenance.

I welcome all comments, questions and suggestions. If you're new and you'd like help, I'll try to guide you. You can check out my latest few articles: Underwood's septa, platform switching, Bone remodeling period, Cone beam computed tomography, C-terminal telopeptide and furcation defect. You cannot imagine how many dental students I come across at Columbia who tell me they utilize Wikipedia on a weekly basis, but find that there are not enough articles on dental subjects. So let's get out there are create well written, well sourced articles on dental topics. Have a great day! DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 12:51, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
