All in all, ''Wikipedia'' is a terrific addiction Jorge Luis Borgesian project... However, it should probably have more stringent criteria for article inclusion. An encyclopedia is a compendium of synthetic, neutral, verifiable knowledge susceptible to be useful in the context of education (παιδεια = "education"), in the broad sense in which this term is used. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, right. But that does not mean Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia. The project will fail somehow if people start saying: "Well, this is not really an encyclopedia, you would never find such an article in an encyclopedia. What's the point of having such an article?". == Significative contributions == *Wikipedia:Cleanup *Wikipedia:List of common misspellings *Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics *Wikipedia:Pages_needing_attention *Wikipedia:Peer review *Wikipedia:Requested articles *Wikipedia:Request for comment *Wikipedia:Tip of the day archive ''I have been contributing since March 13, 2004'' European Patent Organisation (EPO) -- European Patent Convention (EPC) -- Software patent -- Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) -- Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property -- List of Irish lochs and loughs -- Claim (patent) -- Submarine patent -- Patent attorney -- Action Directe (gang) -- Lernout & Hauspie -- Patent clerk -- European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics Technology Industry Associations (EICTA) -- Software patents under TRIPs Agreement -- Convention on the Unification of Certain Points of Substantive Law on Patents for Invention -- Appeal procedure before the European Patent Office -- Opposition procedure before the European Patent Office -- Eurasian Patent Organization (EAPO) -- Trilateral Offices -- Bayh-Dole Act -- International Patent Institute (IIB) -- Kurt H�rtel -- Inventive step -- Patent Law Treaty (PLT) -- London Agreement -- European Patent Litigation Agreement (EPLA) -- ''Restitutio in integrum'' -- Substantive Patent Law Treaty (SPLT) -- International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (FICPI) -- International Association for the Protection of Industrial Property (AIPPI) -- Industrial applicability -- World Intellectual Property Day -- Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure -- Unity of invention -- Term of patent in the United States -- Alain Pompidou -- Research exemption

== Welcome == Hi Edcolins, and welcome from Belgium to the Wikipedia ! (Are you Belgian ? Your name seems to indicate you're not.) Hope you'll enjoy. User:FvdP 22:02, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC) :Hey FvdP! Thanks for your welcome. Nice to get this just three days after starting. User:Edcolins. Hello Ed, Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to Wikipedia:Wikipedians. Drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log so others can meet you and help you get started. If you need editing help, visit Wikipedia:How to edit a page. For format questions, visit our Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help, add a question to the wikipedia:Village pump, or just leave a note on my User talk:Jwrosenzweig. User:Jwrosenzweig 22:11, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC) :I'd discourage the list idea -- they're frequently hard to find again once created (e.g., is it at List of patent topics? List of patent-related topics? List of patent-related articles?). See alsos work fairly well if we're talking about 4-8 articles or so: they're probably a better solution than a list article, unless you're talking about needing to link to a lot of articles. Honestly, what I do is use the "What links here" page (have you used that button? it's on the sidebar to your left) -- go to Patent and hit it, and you'll find every article that links to that article. So if all you're doing is trying to find those articles, that works. If you're trying to make it easier for others to find patent related topics.....well, I guess I need more information before I can make a good suggestion. Who are you envisioning would need this help? Is a list a good idea, or can they simply search for the necessary topic using our search box in the top right? More details please, when you have the chance. :-) User:Jwrosenzweig 21:15, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC) ::''See also:'' is Wikistyle. We don't have "Internal Links" sections, so I'd avoid that term and go with the see also idea. I believe the format is ''See also:'' link, another link, but you might check the Wikipedia:Manual of style first. If you don't find it, I'd use the layout I've written here. :-) Hope this helps! Thanks for being proactive, User:Jwrosenzweig 21:57, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC) == European Patent Convention == Hi there. I saw your note at the new user log. Really good work on European Patent Convention, European Patent Office, and European Patent Organisation. It's nice to look over a new user's contributions and find almost nothing that needs fixing. Keep up the good work. Happy editing, User:Isomorphic 03:53, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC) :Incidentally, the one correction I did make was to delink the second occurrence of "European Patent Organization" in the European Patent Office article. With few exceptions, it's a Wikipedia convention to only make a link the first time you mention something. Not a big deal, just letting you know. User:Isomorphic 03:58, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC) == City of Brussels == Okay, go ahead and explain! :-) User:Kim Bruning 10:45, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC) Ah, gottit. User:Kim Bruning 10:48, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC) ==Flemish communities== Firstly, thanks for all the work on the Flemish communities. Secondly, I agree about Kraainem, I can't say it's NPOV. I adapted the text of 5 of the communities with facilities: Kraainem, Linkebeek, Sint-Genesius-Rode, Wemmel and Wezembeek-Oppem. I left Herne, Belgium as it was, because it didn't contain the same text as the others and it didn't seem too non-NPOV to me. User:Dhum Dhum 20:40, 1 May 2004 (UTC) A good idea, this Municipalities with linguistic facilities article. I adapted and expanded the list a bit. Some of the municipalities you mentioned do not exist as such anymore (eg. Teuven has been incorporated into Voeren in the 1970's). I'll try to find out the French names for the municipalities of the German speaking part. User:Dhum Dhum 10:38, 2 May 2004 (UTC) == University names == I just don't think universities should be listed under their native names, especially not when they're as long as in the case of the University of Leuven and the University of Louvain. Can we do something about it? User:Sky == ''Action Directe'' == Simple: Written convention is for non-English words to be italicized. You will see several examples of this around Wikipedia. See ''Bundesnachrichtendienst'', ''Gestapo'', or MVD for examples. That you do not see it more often is poor writing style. I was going to use ''Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopastnosti'' as an example, but it appears that the style is applied inconsistently there. -User:N328KF 21:50, 2004 Aug 28 (UTC) :It's not just names. It's any non-English word. Probably the most common example is the use of Latin terms. I'm not sure where it's documented in Wikipedia, but it's a writing convention, not a Wikipedia convention. The same sort of textbooks that would tell you to italicize book titles would apply here. -User:N328KF 22:31, 2004 Aug 28 (UTC) ==Flanders (disambiguation)== Yes, it is... It is a flemish (Belgium) market, which is located in Flanders. In Belgium, you see lots of Flanders. It makes all kinds of bikes: mountainbikes, womenbikes.... User:Belgian man 14:29, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC) :No, it makes only bikes. See website [http://www.flandersfietsen.be www.flandersfietsen.be]. Google "flanders fietsen" (fiets is the dutch word for bike, fietsen is the plural and the verb): 2 750 hits. And I think it may on Wikipedia, as I see how many other Belgian companies, or how many sorts of cereals by Kellogg's (for example) there are on this Wikipedia. User:Belgian man 17:40, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC) == About "External links" headers == Hello, Ed! Welcome to Wikipedia! I just noticed one of your edits, and thought I'd let you know why I've reverted it. The standard format for "external links" sections is to use the plural "links" in the header, even if there is only one link there. That's because it's a section ''for'' (one or more) links, rather than a section for ''a'' link, and thus expresses our hope that more will be added. Regards, -- User:The Anome 23:11, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC) == Question pointer == Hi Ed, not sure if it's on your watchlist, but I've posted a question for you at Talk:Agreement_on_Trade-Related_Aspects_of_Intellectual_Property_Rights -- User:Pde :Ok. --User:Edcolins 10:12, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC) == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information: *User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered *Wikipedia:Multi-licensing *User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "" template into their user page, but there are other options at Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page: :Option 1 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below: : OR :Option 2 :I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below: : Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "" with "". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my User talk:Ram-Man. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- User:Ram-Man ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| User talk:Ram-Man 18:27, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC) ==Unverified images== Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image: *:Image:Ixelles.png I notice it currently doesn't have an Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, if you claim Wikipedia:Fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the imagesand I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. User:Poccil_(User_Talk:Poccil,_User:Poccil/Automation.js)">User:Poccil|User:Poccil (User Talk:Poccil, User:Poccil/Automation.js) 01:24, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC) P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again. ==copyrights== i wrote the article List of Roman military terms. i copied it with a permision of the author as u can see in Talk:List of Roman military terms. thanks. User:Gilgamesh he 12:26, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Tnx for text corrections == As I was hurrying earlier today, I made again a horrible amount of typo's. Thanks for correcting. By the way, looking at the list of your significant contributions, i see that we have quite some common points of interest. One of the opinion articles I wrote in De Standaard was on intelelctual property rights. I also worked for L&H, and your description is quite OK; just one detail: the rtechnology was not only sold to Scansoft (were some friends of me work), but parts also to other companies. The very best wishe for the end of the year and an excellent start for the new year. --User:Rudi Dierick 17:40, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Patent application == Thanks for cleaning up after me with some good edits! Would you like a shot at an early draft of an article on Patent Application? It is currently at 1700 words, so most of the work would be pulling out stuff nobody wants to see in an encyclopedia and wikifying the rest! You may also notice I just put up a stub on continuation/divisional/CIP applications User:Lupinelawyer 10:23, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Johan Van Vlaams Belang == Hi Ed, I'm particularly fed up with the edits of User:jvb, who has been adding tons of Vlaams-Blok-friendly propaganda to discussion pages (under the pretense of discussing article-related questions), and is now attacking the article Flemish Interest itself (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Flemish_Interest&action=history). Needless to say, this is far from NPOV. Most of it also appears ''verbatim'' in whats seems to be entries of his in a blog, under sig "Johan Van Vlaams" (even though he denies he's the same person). I don't think his edits are suited to Wikipedia. I don't want to be alone fighting this guy. I'm too tempted to enter discussions with him -- and he's particularly good at leading them astray. I'm too emotionally involved in the subject, too. I'll appreciate any help. (Or, at least, any sign that anyone here is taking my concerns seriously....) User:FvdP 19:53, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Sydney Hilton bombing == Hello Ed, Thanks for your help with the software patent pages. I think that they are now pretty good. I have recently had trouble with an article on Sydney Hilton bombing. user:ambi has been arbitrarily revoking the work, without any discussion. She is apparantly an "ajudicator". This is completely different from the positive interactions that you and I have had. Could you please have a quick look at the history of the article and please comment. I'm also not sure how to proceed in this matter. I note that she has been violently reverting other people's work as well. Maybe those works were not well written, but much of it seemed well intended. To just revert spits in the face of the authors and generally ensures that they will never contribute again. This type of behaviour would ultimately destroy Wikipedia. I am concerned that she has any official status within the community. So I think that this is important beyond the article in question. Her home page is also a little scary with her charter to "remove bias". User:Aberglas 00:13, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC) aberglas Hello Ed, I note that you edited the vandalized (IMHO) version. Does that mean that you support the purging? My feeling is that regardless of whether my article is any good, just reverting the well intended work is totally unacceptable behaviour. But I actually think that my work is pretty good, although it could obviously be improved. Sorry to drag you into this mess, but you are experienced with Wikipedia and I think it is important. Please leave a message on the talk page. Thanks, User:Aberglas 12:05, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC) aberglas Hello Ed, Could you have another look at the article. I realize that a big fight is the last thing that you want to become involved in (I don't!). But this type of aggressive revetions will ultimately make Wikipedia an ugly place, where I for one would not want to contribute. I'm really asking for an opinion rather than just neutral mediation. I think that if someone wants to cut off both your legs it is not a reasonable compromize to let them cut one leg off. User:Aberglas 10:42, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC) aberglas Hello Ed, If Ambi had worked on the /temp page then I could work with her. But it was not her, but you. So if I do any work she will just revert/delete without contribution. Is that the sort of behaviour you want to see on Wikipedia? And what will you do about it? You cannot negotiate with someone that just stone walls. There is a time for being gentle, but there is also a time for being firm. Please do not directly contribute to the /temp page just to be nice. (I assume that you have no real interest in the subject.) The trouble is that in this toxic environment you will be pushed as the arbitrator and I will have to live with whatever you do. I find it very difficult to make an article out of the headings that you have (in effect) mandated. (I know that you did not intend to mandate them.) You also give credibility to the revet side of the debate. I am not that upset about the article itself. But I am very upset about the behaviour. Do you really think that Ambi &co have acted reasonably? If so I will just leave it (and wikipedia) alone. Please also read Ambi's new note on the talk page that the temp page is irrelevant(!) How do you negotiate with someone like that? User:Aberglas 09:39, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) aberglas Hello Ed, I agree that the Ananda Marga section needs elaboration. If you look over the talk page you will see that I actually mentioned this some time ago. There are some good references at the end of my original article, including a newspaper article extract. The Hilton Bombing is a very interesting piece of Oz history. (Where are you from?) But I am really not prepared to put more work into it just to have Ambi revert it. It takes a lot of effort to create a properly researched article. It takes no effort to revert it. Please, look at my original article and think about what it means for someone just to revert such a researched piece without comment. You cannot deal with Ambi in the way that you (and I) would like to -- by gentle negotiation. If you want to do extra work, then please start with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sydney_Hilton_bombing&oldid=10633915 my version]. I had taken some care to give it a reasonable structure. Remember that Ambi does not really care about the structure one way or the other, she just wants information about ASIO suppressed. User:Aberglas 23:47, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) aberglas Hello Ed, Hmm. By "I don't think Ambi will revert a properly balanced article" I assume that you are not saying that the original article was unbalanced. (Ie. Beyond repair -- if Ambi had just wanted to add extra material and maybe change some of the language there would never have been this dispute.). The more important issue is that if the temp article is seriously edited by more than just me it will gain authority, which she will be reluctant to take on. But what a lot of work and angst! User:Aberglas 04:08, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) aberglas Hello Ed, See the Talk:Sydney Hilton bombing. As expected the /temp page was a waste of time. User:Aberglas 23:45, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC) aberglas. Hello Ed, Could you please lock the page again. This needs to go to Arbitration. If we loose, the Wikipedia is not worth fighting for. User:Aberglas 23:31, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC) aberglas I have finally made time to put the article up on WikInfo. Could you please add a link to the Sydney Hilton Bombing external references section to [http://www.wikinfo.org/wiki.php?title=Sydney_Hilton_Bombing]. A slightly tidied up version. (I do not want to do it and start another revert war. As you may have guessed I have given up on Wikipedia.) Thanks, User:Aberglas 04:45, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) aberglas You will note that Ambi has been up to her tricks again. Deleting content that she does not want aired without contributing. Even purging links. I liked the Wikipedia goals, but was disappointed by the lack of support from the community. I do not want to bother building up a clique of my own and engaging in endless fights -- I have a life to lead. Anyway, thanks for your help.

If you can spare the time, please visit Schwegman, Lundberg, Woessner & Kluth, P.A. and reconsider your decision.

I added it! :P ITN had been idle for a day and it was the only viable candidate for addition. If TWO football stories are worthy for ITN, perhaps so is 13-year-old who can spell appeg.. appo.. whatever.

I'm still waiting for your response in Talk:Alicante. --User:Joanot 09:37, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) == R B Prosser == Hi Ed. Thanks for the cleanup - much appreciated. On the Patents page I have in mind to add a big section about the history of the UK patents system, up to the time of the repeal of the Old Law in 1852. The question is, do I add it in the middle of what we already have, or start a new topic on the early (say pre - C20) history of patents with a 'see also' on the former. A new topic would mean we would have the space to add on pages about other national patents systems. User:Apwoolrich 14:26, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) == lots of edits, not an admin == Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in User:Rick Block/WP600 not admins? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list. Thanks. -- user:Rick Block (user talk:Rick Block) 23:03, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
