Dog/Draft
Hi Anthony. I am continuing to work on the Dog/Draft, but I would like to see the current draft become Approved Version No. 2 notwithstanding. It is expanded, it corrects some factual errors and tightens the slightly-too-informal writing in some paragraphs.
I believe David Tribe was the original approving editor, and I have dropped a note onto his page. I'm writing to you because I don't know how active David is at the mo and whether or not he will see the note timely, so I wanted to make someone else in Bio aware of it. Thanks.

- Okay, I can't place an exact date on the cave paintings, but I tightened up the section a bit.
- That's a nice dog site you mentioned. Got some gaps in breeds, but it's pretty good. The problem with the proliferation of all these dog sites is the diffusion of talent. There's just too much information for any one person or even two or three to make a comprehensive site quickly.
- Aleta Curry 18:09, 19 February 2008 (CST)
- Just FYI, I've been doing some work as you suggested. Do have a look if/when you have a spare moment.
- Re the fictional dogs you mentioned, yes, they all belong in related articles/lists/catalogues/whatever. I don't remember where we were in terms of developing articles for fictional dogs--oh, dear--one more thing for my 'to do' list, but at least that's a fun one!

Wiki conversion
I'm proficient with LaTeX and have MSWord running on my PC. I'm willing to convert math and physics equations from Word to Wiki LaTeX. --Paul Wormer 07:42, 21 February 2008 (CST)
Volunteer to convert articles emailed in
Anthony:
I would like to volunteer to convert and upload Chemical Engineering articles that are sent in via email by contributors. Is this the right place for that? If not, can you tell me where to volunteer? I will watch for your response here on your Talk page. Thanks, Milton Beychok 12:03, 21 February 2008 (CST)
- Milton, thank you for volunteering to convert word processor articles to MediaWiki mark-up. I hope you will feel comfortable acepting articles with a broad definition of chemical engineering.
- Milton, you need next to subscribe to the mailing list where authors will submit their articles as email attachments: http://mail.citizendium.org/mailman/listinfo/cz-wikiformat.
- I have added your name to the page where we will keep track of which volunteers have accepted which articles for conversion: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Wiki-converting. Review that page for information.
- Also, review the page we developed for submitters, which will indicate what to expect: CZ:Email us an article in word processor format.
- Again, welcome aboard. As a subscriber to cz-wikiformat mailing list, you can communicate with the other wiki-converter volunteers, and you can use the discussion (talk) page for communication: http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Wiki-converting.

Dog Approval
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for your request on the CZ:Approval Process page. I think Noel has addressed some major problems there. You were very close on the ToApprove section of Template:Dog/Metadata. I made these changes. Basically, you don't need to use the four tildes when placing the 'ToA editor=' and you need the current version of the 'Draft' page rather than the 'metadata' page. Otherwise, you did well. D. Matt Innis 20:00, 25 February 2008 (CST)
- Anthony, when they added the boxes to the left, they gave us a better way to find the 'article url'. Would you do me a favor and see if I explained it adequately? Thanks, D. Matt Innis 21:11, 25 February 2008 (CST)
- Excellent, that was just what it needed. Now all we have to do is wait until the next editor comes along! Thanks, D. Matt Innis 21:54, 25 February 2008 (CST)
Archiving
Anthony, I think all you have to do is put this template at the top of that page - {{archive box|auto=long}}. I'll watch and see what happens when you do it in case it blows up ;-) --D. Matt Innis 19:31, 26 February 2008 (CST)
- Well, at least it didn't blow up! Your sandbox-2 solution looks just as good. Chris Day might have a solution for the archive box for when using the /sandbox. I'll keep looking, too. D. Matt Innis 20:29, 26 February 2008 (CST)
- Thanks, Matt. Perhaps archiving only available for Talk pages?? --Anthony.Sebastian 20:31, 26 February 2008 (CST)
- Yes, Anthony, I think you're correct [1]. So if you put your sandbox under User Talk:Anthony.Sebastian/Sandbox it should work. Then your archive page would be User Talk:Anthony.Sebastian/Sandbox/Archive 1 and Archive 2, etc.. --D. Matt Innis 20:59, 26 February 2008 (CST)
- Nope, the box worked, but the Archive 1 went to your other archive page, so it only works on talk pages and there cannot be any /pagename attached to it. D. Matt Innis 21:07, 26 February 2008 (CST)
- Interesting idea. Sad it did not work. I admire your perseverance. --Anthony.Sebastian 21:37, 26 February 2008 (CST)
That's Life!
Anthony, I justed wanted to take a moment to thank you for incorporating many of my suggestions in the Life/Draft article. It is a real pleasure to work with someone who takes constructive criticism as it is meant, as an aid. Cheers. David E. Volk 08:55, 29 February 2008 (CST)
- Thank you, David, for the thorough reading and thoughtful, constructive criticisms. I greatly appreciate the feedback and suggestions. I have not finished working on all your comments, and will look forward to your thoughts as I continue editing. --Anthony.Sebastian 14:40, 29 February 2008 (CST)
Dog is Approved!
Anthony, congratulations on another approval/re-approval! --D. Matt Innis 19:22, 29 February 2008 (CST)
