Dcljr

Wikipedia:Babel

dcljr is a Mathematics tutor who was born in 1969 and now lives in Austin, Texas. I have a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Master of Science in Statistics (actually, an ABD in the latter — never pass up an opportunity to point that out ;). I also have an interest in the various sciences and humanities, but no real credentials...

If you know another ''dcljr'' online, it's probably me. I have a sizable [http://www.obkb.com/ website] and admin a dying [http://www.tcp.com/mailman/listinfo/clarissa mailing list]. Since making [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significance&diff=prev&oldid=532250 my first edit to Wikipedia as a logged-in user] on December 23, 2002, I've edited Wikipedia enough to get into the Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits. I may or may not be there at the moment. I have user pages on the following Wikipedias whose languages I barely know: {| | * [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Spanish] (:es:Usuario:Dcljr|:es:Usuario Discusi�n:Dcljr|:es:Especial:Watchlist) | * [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ German] (:de:Benutzer:Dcljr|:de:Benutzer Diskussion:Dcljr|:de:Spezial:Watchlist) | * [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Japanese] (:ja:利用者:Dcljr|:ja:利用者‐会話:Dcljr|:ja:特別:Watchlist) |} I have other user pages in languages I don't know at all (and in Simple English).

Please place new comments (i.e., on a new topic) at the bottom of the page in a new section (you will be asked for a "subject/headline" if you use the "+" tab or "Post a comment" link). Discussion older than 6 months can be found at User talk:Dcljr/Archive. Older discussion on specific topics can be found at User talk:Dcljr/Statistics and User talk:Dcljr/Characters. However, you should place ''new'' comments about these topics ''here'' on this page (that way I get an alert that I have new messages). == Admin nomination == Hello. You aren't an administrator but I think you ought to be. I will nominate you if you like. You may reply here or on User talk:Wile E. Heresiarch. Regards & happy editing, User:Wile E. Heresiarch 16:12, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC) :Hmm, well, thank you for the thought, but I'm not sure I really want to be able to do any of the Wikipedia:Administrators. Recently I've been slowly branching out into more maintenance-related activities, but I think I should get more experience before I get into ''administrative'' activities. For now I'm happy to be just an active user. Maybe later this year I'll feel differently. Thanks again... - User:Dcljr 20:17, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC) :: OK, no problem. Let me know if you ever change your mind, and in the meantime, keep up the good work. Happy edits, User:Wile E. Heresiarch 09:08, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Revised intro for statistics == Hi again. I saw your proposal to revise the statistics intro section. It doesn't look like you actually carried out that plan -- I'd like to encourage you to go ahead since it's a definite improvement. Looks like the rest of the article would benefit from your attention too. For what it's worth, User:Wile E. Heresiarch 16:18, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC) :Will respond to this in a bit... - User:Dcljr 20:20, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC) ::Urgh... every time I try to respond, Wikipedia goes down or I run out of time. Short version: I kinda got scared away by the discussion I had on Talk:Statistics. I just plain don't agree that statistics has nothing to do with uncertainty or samples! Want to develop something more substantive before I throw it to the wolves. ;-) - User:Dcljr 18:30, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC) == tagging articles == Please put templates like that only are useful to editors, on talk pages (the only exception I can think of would be the different stub templates). Thank you. :) --User:Maveric149 08:45, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC) == Template:Translate == I have put Template:Translate on WP:TFD. It was created because [http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://de.wikipedia.org&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools links to Google translations] didn't used to work, but now they do, which makes the templates unecessary. More details on the problem it was created to solve can be seen in the discussion of MediaZilla:361. User:Angelauser talk:Angela 15:57, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC) == Should be OK == You can fix them or not fix them. I don't think anyone will get upset :-) User:Ta bu shi da yu 21:43, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC) == Image:BerryEsseenTheoremCDFGraphExample.png == Is :Image:BerryEsseenTheoremCDFGraphExample.png, which you claim to have created, licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License? --User:Ellmist 19:49, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC) Okay, thank you. Have a nice day. --User:Ellmist 23:18, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC) ''Discussion moved to Image talk:BerryEsseenTheoremCDFGraphExample.png#Copyright.'' (above remark by User:Ellmist - dcljr) It appears you have copied my comments back to your talk page. I won't move them in the future. --User:Ellmist 20:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Milestone statistics == Thanks for your work on the milestone statistics! You wrote: ''"I couldn't check :gu:, :hi: and :kn: because I don't have the right fonts on this computer."'' I'm sorry to hear that. I have those fonts, so I'll check those languages for you. Have a great day! User:Davidcannon 22:24, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC) == Interwiki Madness == Thank you for your comments on User talk:Davidcannon. I do try to update that list periodically - once a month, on average. In general, I don't list a wiki on that list until it becomes active, even though I may have opened an account on it. Yes, there are wikis on which I don't have counters. I DID have counters, but once in a blue moon some do-gooder sees a counter, and nothing else, on one of my user pages, thinks some crank must have put it there, and removes it. From time to time I discover the odd one. Thank you for giving me a list of the ones where you found the counter to be missing - I'll fix them now. The depreciated wikis (Serbo-Croatian, Moldovan, and Tokipona) - I've kept the first two because there are still a few enthusiasts who are trying to keep the first one going (despite its split), there's a debate about separating Moldovan from Romanian (with some nationalists arguing that as it can be written in the cyrillic alphabet, it should qualify as a separate language, much as Hindi differs from Urdu), and Tokipona is still occupying space on the Wikimedia server, despite its having been officially shut down. My basic reason for making that list was to have a quick and easy way to check the statistics of each language once a month, as I am one of the volunteers looking after the Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics tables. User:Davidcannon 11:04, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Interlanguage links on user pages == It's not discouraged at all . The only reason I don't do on the English Wikipedia it is to deter vandals from vandalising my user page on wikis I don't watch that often. I do use those links on other Wikipedias though since it's an easy way to get from one wiki to related languages. See :af:Gebruiker:Angela for example, which links to other African language Wikipedias . User:Angelauser talk:Angela ==Removed remark== Sorry about that, but it seemed to me that it was a rather silly remark in response to an otherwise serious discussion. What exactly was your point there? User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 10:14, May 9, 2005 (UTC) ==Table question== Hi, thanks for the great table tutorial. Now I have a great looking table (see it here if you're interested Talk:Myxobolus cerebralis), but I don't know how to get the article text to wrap around it, could you tell me how? Thanks --User:Petaholmes 04:44, 11 May 2005 (UTC) == Template == Sorry for the confusion - I need to better organize it, so that the links to the subordinate pages is clearer. I thought it was rather cumbersome as it was, and that the split was reasonable along those lines, allowing also for some added development. Thanks -User:Stevertigo|User_talk:Stevertigo 21:11, 13 May 2005 (UTC) == Stub template weirdness == I notice you created . I can't figure out why the "expanding it" link is screwed up in RFC 3377 I just added the tag to. - User:Dcljr (User talk:Dcljr) 09:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC) :I can figure out why, but the fix probably isn't easy. When you write RFC 3377, it gets turned into a link; that seems to be badly iteracting with the link on the template (which is — take a look at the wiki markup for that), and closing the [] before it should be closed. You should talk about it to the Wikipedia:Wikiproject stub sorting people — that code came from Template:metastub (it was copied to Template:compu-network-stub via subst:). --User:CesarB 12:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC) :: FYI, this phenomenon has already been submitted to [http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/ MediaZilla] as a page-rendering bug. - User:Dcljr (User talk:Dcljr) 03:57, 31 May 2005 (UTC) :::Do you have the bug #? I want to add myself to its CC: list to monitor its progress. --User:CesarB 11:35, 31 May 2005 (UTC) :::: It's [http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1344 Bug 1344]. - User:Dcljr (User talk:Dcljr) 17:18, 31 May 2005 (UTC) == WikiJunior == Thanks for the head's up re naming the WikiJunior project. I really like KikiWiki or Kikipedia. 02:31, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) == :Category:2000 by month == I created the category in imitation of Category:2001 by month - if that's been deleted, I've got no objection to 2000 by month following it. User:Warofdreams 09:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) == LDS title == I have no problem with changing the title. I was sticking to earlier conventions. Would you like to bring this up on the project page? (Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint) User:Jgardner 18:09, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Re: Colonial Governors== You got me just in time because I am about to leave Wikipedia to go on a long trip. I will work on the page, though I will probably not have time to verify every single colony/territory. However, I will definitely work on it and make some updates. By the way, I noticed that you posted a message to the talk page of User:Gzornenplatz. For a variety of complicated reasons, Gzornenplatz has been banned from Wikipedia, so he won't be coming to help with the page. User:Academic Challenger 05:04, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC) == The War of the Worlds == I certainly have no problem with you moving the talk page it is probably something I should of done myself but I was unsure about merging/moving talks at that time. Although an interesting subject I have not great investment in the article I just do merges as a simple way to improve wiki in general.^{User:MeltBanana} 13:32, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
