Hi. Plase be carefull and lean more, before you edit Computer program, Computer software. Kenny sh 09:27, 5 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there K.lee, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page and experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

A note on page names: we have a loose policy of avoiding subpages (things like Manhattan/Harlem) when possible. Where there's no ambiguity, please don't change the shorter names. (Also, if you move things, it's a good idea to make sure you catch all the links to the original name.) Vicki Rosenzweig

Thanks for following my suggestion. Vicki Rosenzweig

Again, unless there's ambiguity, don't change the shorter names of places to longer ones. Thanks. --The Cunctator

Ok, I've read more of the style guide and believe I've sort-of wrapped my head around the disambiguation convention now. I find it confusing, however, that city names should be e.g. Seattle, Washington instead of Seattle, whereas neighborhoods within a city should be referred to by an unqualified name. Anyway, I'll abide by the convention for now. --k.lee

K.lee, thanks for your work on the Microsoft article. Your edits and additions are very helpful. I keep meaning to get back to it myself, but trying to undo all of the bias and free software cheering is a little overwhelming. :) --Stephen Gilbert

Programming language

Hi, K.lee. I was wondering about the status of User:K.lee/Programming language rewrite. I do also want to revise the article entirely, but I must admit that I am not knowledable enough and need help. Are you going to replace the current article with your alternative version or is there any long-term plan to your knowledge? -- Taku 05:43, Nov 11, 2003 (UTC)

Would you like to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Programming Languages? —Noldoaran (Talk) 22:42, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC)

I think this is the right place to put this...

Anyway I have re-written dynamic programming language, please check it out for accuracy. I do disagree with your note about it being non-standard language however, I've certainly used this terminology in the past.

re: List of historical developments in Type Theory

Thank you very much. I will check out the book you mentioned, and perhaps contribute what I learn.
-- Jrn 15:55, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. When will you put your programming Language rewrite in the normal namespace? —Noldoaran (Talk) 04:54, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

regarding rant

"Over time, a maddening entropy has grown to inflict nearly all theories regarding subatomic electromechanics... for whatever reason, theoretical physics is not served well by the gradual accumulation of random facts, at which the scientific community excels. This may be because too many people overestimate their own knowledge of theoretical physics, or because too many people confuse familiarity with a few physical laws with a systematic understanding of theoretical physics as a field. Unfortunately, I do not have the time right now to rewrite the physics jounal papers into better form, but if I ever get around to it, you can expect major changes." (There are people who do, and after doing, think of a way of making it better next time. There are those who talk about doing, and after talking about doing, think that there is no one that could do it better than them if they did it.) — danakil 04:11, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

Fair enough. However, you will notice that I put the rant on my user page; it serves as a disclaimer that, although I edit PL-related articles, I have many problems with their current contents. I work in this field professionally (or, anyway, as professionally as a grad student does) and I don't want anyone who sees my user page to get the idea that I'd endorse even a majority of the content on the articles I edit. (And not everyone is as familiar, yet, with the social organization of Wikipedia as we are.)

BTW I have, in fact, been "doing", although I've been principally using an offline text editor, because composing lots of text on a web form is a pain. Not everyone has the time to contribute as much to Wikipedia as you do. And, frankly, Wikipedia would be stronger if a few people who contribute many low-quality edits were to contribute less. (I am not referring to you or to anyone else in particular with this last sentence.) Furthermore, I find absurd your implication that people with low edit volumes ought not to comment on the quality of any Wikipedia articles.

Lastly, the analogy between scientific journal papers and Wikipedia articles is pretty imprecise, as you know perfectly well. k.lee 04:44, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Nolan chart

Not sure what you were up to with your recent edit at Nolan chart, but you clearly didn't look at the result after you edited. All you did was break a link. Want to take another shot? -- Jmabel 21:35, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

OK, sorry. Now I realize the reason that that link was a makeashorterlink.com link before. Anyway, I think it's bad in principle to depend on an external URL mangler, so I did some URL escaping and fixed it. k.lee 21:54, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Please Bring PL Rewrite Live

Looking over the article, and your proposed rewrite, it seems like the rewrite is complete enough to be moved into the main article, merging content as necessary and continuing with editing there. As this is your namespace however, I think it's your decision on whether to bring the article live. I suggest that you be bold. --L33tminion 20:20, Oct 24, 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps, but the "merging content as necessary" part is not trivial. I don't really have much time to do this now. If someone else wants to do it they can go ahead. k.lee

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

WikiProject New York City

Hello, some of us have started WikiProject New York City, and from your edits it seems you might be interested. See its talk page for discussions on the standardization of neighborhood names and subway lines and stations, and bringing New York City up to featured status.--Pharos 22:29, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Please finish up on "Programming language"

Please either permanently remove your "requestrewrite" tag in Programming language or commit your changes in the next two weeks. There are many Category:Wikipedian programmers who would like to contribute to this article in a fair and collaborative manner and you are blocking them.

I think that a lot of other Wikipedians who are programmers would like you to finish up your rewrite of Programming language and commit it.

Your rewrite is effectively claiming long-term (Over two years!) exclusive ownership of the article, which is anti-collaborative. Hundreds of other collaborative changes to Programming language will be lost when/if you commit your rewrite, but that is better than thousands of collaborative changes being lost.

I also recommend that Template:Requestrewrite and Category:Rewrite Requested be deleted, but I will hold off marking them as such. They set a anti-collaborative precedent. Fplay 19:01, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I sincerely apologize for leaving the rewrite unfinished for so long. I've been away for a while. FWIW, I am not the one who put those templates on the main PL page, and I have no objection to the fact that they were deleted. I suppose I should just have removed those templates myself long ago; sorry. k.lee 20:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

opinions on forth programming language and scheme programming language solicited

I have put up forth programming language and scheme programming language for peer review and want to move them towards being featured articles. As someone with a broad knowledge of programming languages you would certainly be welcome to contribute. Ideogram 03:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hubristic folly

Don't be too hard on yourself. It was a noble attempt and much good came of it. I can't disagree with your conclusions, though. Ideogram 22:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

Thank you for your kind words. It really does help. Ideogram 02:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry

My last revert overwrote an edit of yours. Sorry about that, I will edit it back in. 67.62.122.162 21:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your shelf

I like the picture of your bookshelf, and the way you have captioned it. The one criticism I'd have of the picture is that ML has two books about it, while each other language has just one... well, most languages have zero, of course. I don't know if you'd be willing to take down a book and snap a new one. Not a big thing if it's too much trouble, but it would be a slight improvement. LotLE×talk 08:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, that and the fact the Python book doesn't happen to be Text Processing in Python :-). (aside from vanity though, Lutz' book is indeed more general than mine, as are Beazley's or Martelli's). LotLE×talk 08:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The ML books are also skinnier than most of the others, so I don't think they have undue visual weight in the picture. If anything, I think the monstrous size of the Perl book, and the unusually high-contrast spine of the Miranda book, give those languages too much prominence. Anyway, I might do another snapshot if I get a chance (although not all these books are mine, and I won't have access to them forever), but it's not high on my list of priorities. k.lee 18:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good collection, especially with most of them being the "standard" or "official" reference for the language. But I do think that the two for ML is every-so-slightly odd: not in thickness, but just in number. Maybe if the second was on O'Caml or SML (or Haskell, was that there?) it would seem like a distinct thing. Anyway, I can't argue it's a high priority either.
