User talk:Woozle/2007 archive

Hi Woozle. I'm an old friend of 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 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 my livejournal. See you round. --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 here. I've copied that text to his userpage here, User:KevinFryatt with corrected links. --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 this page. --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:

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

- 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... --Chriswaterguy 17:09, 14 February 2007 (EST)
