Hi Woozle. I'm an old friend of [[User:Jsrrts|Jsrrts]], from Australia. 

Thanks for your edits to [[Housing affordability]]. And commendations on a great site. Issuepedia will probably never be my main focus (since [[Appropedia:|Appropedia]] matches my expertise and interests better... and thanks for putting it on the interwiki map, btw) but I'll certainly spend some time here. At times that I would normally send an email with a link or my own ideas, I'm now creating a page and sending people a copy and the link. 

I think I can safely say that we at Appropedia look forward to collaborating anyway we can, whether sharing templates, or helping each other with promotion (or, rather, awareness-raising). Speaking of which, I'll mention Issuepedia on [http://chriswaterguy.livejournal.com/ my livejournal]. See you round. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 21:28, 6 February 2007 (EST)

==  hmm, I may have been mistaken... ==

Thanks for the note. I got the link wrong - copied http:// twice. 

I put the identical info on his Appropedia, which I've now fixed [http://appropedia.org/index.php?title=User%3AKevinFryatt&diff=17033&oldid=17000 here]. I've copied that text to his userpage here, [[User:KevinFryatt]] with corrected links. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 01:43, 14 February 2007 (EST)

== That fixed it. ==

Wow, I don't know why I didn't spot that either. A case of "Paris in the the spring", I guess. I've added the "foreign aid in africa" link to the [[Poverty]] page as well, which I suspect will be getting more attention in the near future ;-) I've also posted a reply to your comments on [[User talk:Woozle/2005-09-06 Thoughts on the Divide|this page]]. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 07:21, 14 February 2007 (EST)

== When finding seemingly useful snippets... ==

I often find interesting tidbits that I don't have time to follow up on. Would it be useful to make a practice of copying these to the relevant talk page? E.g., re [[corruption]] and social capital: 

{{quoteon}}Eric M. Uslaner's book manuscript, The Bulging Pocket and the Rule of Law: Corruption, Inequality, and Trust (under contract to Cambridge University Press), is now fully drafted and is available on the author's corruption web page, http://www.bsos.umd.edu/gvpt/uslaner/corruption.htm
Please follow the link for further details and to download draft chapters of full manuscript:
 
http://www.socialcapitalgateway.org/eng-news.htm#RIC{{quoteoff}}
- from Fabio Sabatini's email newsletter (home page: http://www.socialcapitalgateway.org)

Perhaps that should be pasted to [[Talk:Corruption]], for example. Though if there's no article (as with [[corruption]], at the mo)then I'm less clear on this...

== Templates ==

I notice you've got some cool formatting templates. At Appropedia we've also worked out a few solutions using templates, as well. I figure we should share.

When we share, I think it's good practice to put something at the bottom saying "This page is adapted from [[Appropedia:Template:WP]] or whatever. Or, <nowiki>[[Issuepedia:Template:Quoteon]]</nowiki> etc on the other site. 

Ones that could be of interest to you include: 
*[[Appropedia:Template:WP]] - inline linking, distinguishes WP links from internal links. More practical than elegant, arguably, but improvements welcomed.
*[[Appropedia:Template:Wikipedia]] & [[Appropedia:Template:Wikipedia p]] - notices about Wikipedia articles. (I plan to use an optional argument, like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Fact&action=edit this], and merge these two.) 
*[[Appropedia:Template:Fact]]

Or you could check out [[Appropedia:Category:Templates]] and see if anything grabs you. --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] 17:46, 14 February 2007 (EST)
