Hey there, I'm reverting the order of projects at GPS. In the future, please be considerate and discuss your suggested changes in order or add your new projects to the end of the list. - Davandron | Talk 12:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Systems Requirement Analysis.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:13, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hm, okay thanks. I didn't really take to analyzing what you had done. I simply noted that my name was being placed after comments not my own. Actually did not mean to make reverts myself. Thanks for your help nevertheless.--Kenneth M Burke 03:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
It's my pleasure to review and comment on this article. Thanks for asking. I have added some thoughts to the talk page. Best of luck with the project. I'm going to be pretty busy over the next month or so and I don't know how much Wiki-time I will be spending. I look forward to your work. Truthanado 23:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you nominated this image for speedy deleting. The reason why I created this document was that because I'm working with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems to improve the quality of systems related articles. One of my actions is to stimulate the use of pictures in the about 300 (to 1000) related articles. One way to stimulate this is to draw attention to this pictures by getting them listed in the systems categories.
If this is against Wikipedia policies I would like to know... and off cause stop my intitaitves in this direction (and you can do some more work in the field of systems). So please tell me which official policy I offended? - Mdd 18:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Möbius strip.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Möbius strip.jpg fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Möbius strip.jpg, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

It's a pleasure to meet you Mdd! Thank you for the warm welcome. Our integrated program did indeed start a Wikipedia page last year as our program (ISBT) was specifically mentioned on the WP page for our school, La Salle University. Our hope was to describe the program's framework in Systems Thinking (specifically GST), but it's place and purpose on WP became mixed up with the need to keep a single department's information on WP and it was removed. Around the same time, we had launched our own Mediawiki-based wiki for our program. It is located here if you are interested. Systems Thinking has worked extremely well for us in the design of our integrated program. I am excited to share our successes and learn from other Systems enthusiasts. --qswitch426 00:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
He is banned from editing the article but not its talk page. If he is being disruptive on the talk page, he may be banned from there under his general probation. I'm rather busy to get involved, you can make a request at WP:AE or WP:ANI. Be sure to include a link to the case and note that you are asking for probation enforcement.

Hi Mdd. You are off to such a great start on the article Debora Hammond that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. Appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 18:31, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
While not wanting to engage in verboten editorial activities, it is also true that I am a practicing and recognised researcher of cellular automata, and properly I belong in the list. The difficultly I think is that my name is my use ID. Also, it is not reasonable for another to modify my user page. A note on the discussion section of the user page is the gentile mechanism to express concern. Thank you for bringing the issue to my attention. Have you alternative suggestions? William R.

Hi, sorry for clogging up your talk page with those annoying boilerplate templates. I'm using a special tool to tag images with, and it automatically puts the template on the user's talk page. I'm not targeting you in any way — it's just that the article I was at had a lot of images that were uploaded by you. I just want to let you know that I've also orphaned Image:Brian Mar.jpg and Image:David Long.jpg. We don't use non-free images of living people, as they are considered to be replaceable, and we don't use non-free images in lists or galleries. Please take a look at WP:NFC, especially the part of that page which is official policy, and also Resolution:Licensing policy. Thanks. ElinorD (talk) 08:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Dear Mdd, I built Wymore's page on his 80's birthday, but the strict policy of some wikipedians made me to give it up. after some time, i came back and saw everything is okay now there.

Thanks for your note on my userpage. I saw your edits. You have done major work, and as you say there is yin and yang in what has been done. I think some of the quotes should be left in for effect. I'll leave it alone for now, however I would like to see some of the quotes in the text of the article because they are challenging, give a good representation of the man's thinking, and hence, should not be relegated to the footnotes. I agree that my previous referencing was over the top, but perhaps we can come to a mid-way point. Some quotes should definately stay in the text. Sholto Maud 02:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Re: comments on my user page - ok... :) Thanks for your wikification - I just haven't had the time to follow form. I'm just about to add a little more stuff also... Sholto Maud 11:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:George Friedman.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Please don' deviate from the standard layout. You just create a lot of work for other editor's to fix it, and because there is a standard to work to, you will always have to fight for your variation. It's not worth it. IPSOS (talk) 00:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Certain optional standard sections should be added at the bottom of an article. There is consensus that the plural form of the section name should be used. Changing section names breaks links (hence the utility of permalinks), so it is best not to change already-established article section names. Common appendix sections:

In the last line I read It is okay to change the sequence of these appendices. That is what I am doing in the field of systems. ~I'm bringing all articles there up to one standard - Mdd 01:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

"The following items are moved here from the Talk:Complex systems page after serveral hints, because they don't relate to article."
I'm not really sure that all of the moved stuff does not relate to the article, but agree that it is hard to separate own thoughts from agreed upon ones. Anyway, question remains.

Hi—I noticed a lot of your recent edits to this article that were marked minor, but really were not. Please reserve that checkbox for truly minor things like spelling correction, etc. Otherwise it looks like you're trying to hide something. —johndburger 23:59, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mdd,
Thanks for your great work on the Ackoff page! Thanks for correcting my error on the date. I noticed it was out of chronological order and was about to move it to the 2005 position when I incorrectly thought it was a 2007 talk, modified and kept it where it was. Sorry to cause extra work! --qswitch426 12:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mdd, I am new at editing and revising Wiki I saw that you helped me with one of my links and was hoping that you would comment on my article with any suggestions that you might have for additions, formatting, or really any tips that you have about my article. The article was “system equivalence”.

Thanks for uploading Image:Simon Ramo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
I just fixed a couple of spelling errors ("untill"->"until"). Also, you might want to work on the last paragraph ("Since 1994..."), a couple of the sentences are grammatically incorrect or ambiguous - let me know if you'd like any assistance from someone whose native tongue is English.

Earlier, I saw that in at least one case you too removed an article's link to Engineering Learning Wiki. Since then, I have been in a discussion with the sponsor of this wiki and have come to the preliminary conclusion that Wikipedia articles linking to ELW would be appropriate. Would appreciate your second opinion. Thanks. -- Iterator12n Talk 03:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I received your comments about the edits I have been making. Thank you for your comments and concerns. The communication process here is not very straight forward so I am not sure if/when you will receive this note.
I am new to the Wikipedia process and do not want cause any issues. My edits are intended to add value, not detract from value. I have been making a number of edits to improve the grammatical and content value related to Brian Arthur's works. He has written a number of papers important to business, scientific, and economic topics.
I met with Brian Arthur over the weekend when he was at the Santa Fe Institute to get confirmation of the information listed on this/his page. I expect to make some further edits, but will stop after these further edits are done.
I have received two automated responses from the Wikipedia bots, both of which I worked to correct. I was given permission to use the photo of W. Brian Arthur by Brian Arthur. I don't know how to complete the Wikipedia usage process to ensure complete authorization.
Please respond to me with your thoughts/advice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RandyBurge (talk • contribs) 23:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
