Happy Christmastide!

Hi, Jdavidb, I'm really here to wish you a happy Christmastide (since I'm too late for Christmas Day, having spent less time than usual at the computer in the last two days), but I thought I'd also direct your attention to this page, since I know that the spamming for votes issue is one that you feel quite strongly about. (That being the case, you probably won't agree with what I wrote there!) Also, I want to thank you for bringing me to Wikipedia. I think it was you, wasn't it, who posted something on some blog last April, appealing for people to come to Wikipedia if they were prepared to respect NPOV. I had used Wikipedia before that, to look up information, but had never tried editing, and I have found it very fulfilling and have made some very nice friends here. So I wish you and yours a very happy and peaceful Christmas season, and I know that to you, at least, I don't have to say "Happy Holidays". A Saviour is born for us. Alleluia! AnnH ^(talk) 16:06, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Dear David, I hope you had a merry Christmas and that you will have a happier new year! Sincerely, Johnski 19:13, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Proposed remedies

I have an arbitration process question. Are proposed remedies to be proposed only by arbitrators, or may participants (and/or other interested parties) propose them? Are those who requested the arbitration expected to propose remedies? Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 13:24, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Anyone may propose remedies on the /Workshop page. They may or may not be responded to or used on the /Proposed decision page. Anyone includes the parties or interested users. Those who requested the arbitration as well as the defendant could help themselves and the arbitrators by making proposals. If they are good they can be used, if not they serve to communicate.

Homeschool project

Hello, My name Master Scott Hall (you can call me Scott). I am relatively new contributing to Wikipedia, though I have been a user of it for some time. I am currently soliciting for interest in a Wikiproject that I have proposed on the subject of homeschooling. Before finding Wikipedia, my wife and I were seriously considering, but not quite convinced, to home educate our children.

After discovering the depth, scope, and long-term goals of Wikipedia, as well as the individuals driving it, I am convinced that WP has the potential to revolutionize homeschooling. I am also convinced that home education is the right choice for my family. I have, however, been somewhat discouraged by the oversight of home education in most of the education related projects on WP. There are many potential reasons for this discrepency, but I have resolved to try to do something about it.

Although I personally have very limited experience in building complex Wikiprojects, -templates, -portals, etc., I am confident that the right team can be assembled to tackle these issues. I would like to invite you to join this effort to make Wikipedia the resource for the home education of our children. If you are interested, please visits the temporary project page I have set up. Thank you --User:Master Scott Hall 23:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Project Launch. The Homeschooling project has moved to its new home at Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative education. Please visit the project page at your earliest convenience. If you have already discovered the move, please disregard this message. Thanks, Master Scott Hall 16:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Project Update: Our WikiProject Alternative education is going well. A large number of relevent articles have been assembled, evaluated, and sorted for the Adopt an article list. Alternative education (talk) and homeschooling (talk) have been selected as Focus articles. Please add them to your watch list so you can keep track of the latest changes, contributions, and discussions.

We want everyone wants to to stay as involved as they want, no matter how little time they have to contribute. If you've got a lot going and you simply can't find the time for regular contributions, just drop in from time to time to add your input to ongoing discussions. More input makes it easier for more active editors to make sure that their efforts are working toward concensus. If you feel that you don't have enough background in the subject at hand to make material contributions, you can still help by proof-reading and checking for readability. So, stay in touch, stay involved. Thanks, Master Scott Hall | Talk 07:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

WPSPAM

I smiled when I saw [your edit] to the project. I was afraid you disapprove what I did to your page (a takeover?). I hope the project is becoming what you have in mind. --Perfecto Canada 03:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

DOM

Dear Jdavidb, I finally added something that I was sure Davidpdx would like but he reverted it without reason. I found where CBS related that the State department called DOM a fraud, etc., but he would have it, just because it was from me. Is that fair? Can you help me with this?
