thread_title: The rules are very simple here.

message: Our project would conduct a periodic review of CAM articles to rate them for compliance to our standards of quality guidelines.  In real life, this process would be similar to doing a Federal government  compliance audit of Federal grants.  I know because in my lifetime, I have managed to participate in a few Federal grant compliance audits.  We would in effect be doing a compliance audit. 
I visualize a simple checklist of questions with 3 possible answers to each question: Yes, No, or N/A.  An affirmative answer to any question would be a 'marker' for non-compliance. Questions with a N/A response would be tossed out.  I would propose that a score of 25% affirmative responses would result in passing our compliance audit or test.  In other words, to make it comparable to passing an academic test, the mathematical complement of  25% is the same as a passing grade of 75% correct answers. Of course, we could require a passing grade to be 90%, if you want to have a tougher challenge. 
The checklist of compliance audit questions has yet to be developed, as I would propose that they must all be worded so that an affirmative response would be a 'marker' for non-compliance. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 12:31, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: The rules are very simple here. 

message: This article was  recently subjected to a compliance audit by the Wikiproject on Alternative Medicine. We have a master list of  20 Key Questions that are designed to measure the compliance of CAM articles to our Standards of Quality Guidelines. 
Overall, this article created a negative impression. The primary problem seems to be that this article is nothing but a stub article hiding behind a lot of verbiage. Major portions of the Orthomolecular medicine viewpoint are simply not documented in this article. I got absolutely nothing out of this article other than a bunch of commonly held generalities.
Orthomolecular medicine was the first article to be audited.  It was also the first to pass our audit. The answers to 4 questions indicated non-compliance to our standards of quality quidelines.  This resulted in a passing grade of 80%.

message: This WikiProject has encounter resistance from trolls every step of the way.  The science people never rallied  in a show of support to the classification systems used in our infoboxes, nor to our drive to add evidence to the CAM articles.  Since these science people have only demonstrated bigoted, obnoxious, time wasting behavior towards this WikiProject they are clearly more interested in trolling then in improving Wikipedia.  Therefore, the decision was made to drop the knowledge classifications from our infoboxes.  And, there is no longer a requirement of this WikiProject to add any evidence to any of the CAM articles. -- John Gohde 14:11, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: You can notice that the Fan Letter That Monk sent to Maria Ortiz (#8) has a duplicate paragraph in it.

message: What's the difference between “loose” and “open” hi hat? —Michael Z. 2012-08-13 06:41 z
A loose hi hat is a slightly opened hi hat. The top- and bottom hats are still touching when striking it. They are not when the hi hat is fully opened. The hi hat is a versatile instrument that can generate a myriad of different sounds, which is why the difference in notation is significant. The drum tab notation, although being archaic already, allows for these kind of small differences.

message: I'm sure that many readers wouldn't even know how "CWT" is spoken, let alone what it's mass value is in metric. For the uninitiated, it's "hundred weight" [c wt, get it?] and is 8 stone or 50.9 Kgs, or thereabouts. I think it's bad form to use imperial units only and both should be quoted.

Talk:M12 motorway

message: I made a number of changes, which there wasn't the room to detail in the summary.
1. The M12 is a spur, as it flows directly onto the M1.
2. Technically speaking, the Craigavon new city plan is still in force so is not truly abandoned. It still shapes land use policy in the area.
3. Although the M1 was not completed until after Craigavon was announced in 1965, it was planned to go to Dungannon before this. The reason it was diverted north round Lurgan was not because the new city was in the way, but because it was a more direct route to Dungannon.
4. I've also added some more details about the route and its formation, eg the original terminus at Seagoe and the plans for the Northway.

Talk:Massimo Ambrosini

message: There is inaccurate information regarding Ambrosini's goal in the 2004/05 Uefa Champions League semifinal against PSV.  Milan were not losing 3-0 at the time, they were losing 2-0, a score which would have sent the game to extra time.  Ambrosini scored, to make it 2-1, and PSV immedeately replied to make the score 3-1, but Milan still advanced on the away goals rule.

Talk:Daegon

message: Someone wrote down in the main article that Caro most likely lost contact with Blaze at the point he was captured by Onaga's holy men. While that might make sense at first glance, it would mean that the Red Dragon was formed sometime after Mortal Kombat II (Daegon being the founder and all). That means Caro wakening Daegon after Blaze's capture is impossible, as the Black Dragon (known as a splintered faction of the Red Dragon) was active around and before the events of MKI, so I'm wiping that bit of info from the article.

Category talk:Sustainable technologies

message: When I look at the contents of this category, I can't help but feel that this is a very  watered-down concept of Sustainability. Some seem to use it as a synonym for all that is a little bit greener than the solutions commonly in use today. The term sustainability has got it's position in the vocabulary based on the use in the UN report Our common future, and the discussions at the UNCED  in 1992.  Since gaining popularity the term has been watered down. Writers at Wikipedia have a responsibility to help keep the distinct content of the term at loft. In short I doubt that the majority of the articles in this category are properly categorized.   Another category with less strict definitions should be created, for instance "Greener technologies"  That does leave out the development /Global South  aspect, but those articles can probably better be accommodated within the present category.
