[edit] Middle School Science
I remember taking a look at Middle School Science a while ago. I agree that you might want to split off the scientific method information to a subpage. Or perhaps some of the article news or preamble. In general, as a single page begins to grow in length it makes sense to me to create subpages for major sections to keep the material organized. It is also possible to create a navigation box to tie the subpages together. See Template:Recovery psychology for an example. But, decisions on page organization are really up to you. These are just suggestions. I'll take a closer look at the page, and put it on my watchlist.
One thing I'm unclear on - are the links to google docs (ie. [1]) pages that you created? Do you have plans to start similar pages here at wv? I'm not sure where I could help out if much of the material is off-site.
Let me know if there are any astonomy topics that you might be interested in collaborating on. I also have an interest in meteorology. I'll be working on some weather station pages over the next few months.
BTW, I am in Providence, RI, so we are nearly neighbors :) --mikeu talk 15:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I understand now. (about the copyright) We have a few pages on Moodle but they do not appear to be active. There is also a stub for Dokeos which looks like it has some interesting features. --mikeu talk 17:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] steward election
I just now noticed your post at meta:Talk:Stewards. I replied there. Let me know if you have any more questions about the subject. --mikeu talk 01:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] WV:NOT
Hi John Bessa. I hope I'm understanding you correctly in that your main objection to WV:NOT is the advocacy clause. Would you feel comfortable supporting the policy with that clause removed? See Wikiversity_talk:What_Wikiversity_is_not#Still_no_consensus_due_advocacy_clause for details. --SB_Johnny talk 12:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Trolling
Trolling is a real phenomena. Calling people troll is offensive, but denying the phenomena of trolling exists and is a real problem is a major mistake. See meta:What is a troll?. --Piotrus 21:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] A song for you...
Hi John,
By happenstance, I've written a song about empathy.
You wrote a kind note to me, and looking at your profile and then your thinman.com page on empathy...well, sometimes there are strange coincidences in this universe...
Now I have to remember that song:
[edit] Empathy
There's empathy.
No matter where the problem's from
There's empathy. (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Turning away ugly fears
There's really no reason for
Hypocracy. (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Learning to love the others that's
Democracy. (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Learning to be free from your fears
We'd not even be hear but for empathy
Learning to learn the others that's
Democracy (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Well, you get the gist...have to rummage through my notes to find the rest of the song.
Best wishes to you, and thank you for the note,

Good to see you back on the scene here, John. I read the Empathy paper. Nice. Especially the part about the congruency of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the OSI model. Nice! --CQ 02:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
