I am "semi-retired" - making edits when I look something up and I think I can improve it, but little beyond that.

Was this a mistake?
On the Flagged Revisions poll, you wrote As we grow bigger and bigger, the principle of "do no harm" absolutely has to take second place to "do no harm" ... am I reading it wrong, or did you mean to put something else in place of one of the "do no harm"s? —Soap— 02:42, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Your comments about Brews.
Collapsed discussion from March 2010 |
---|
I think you speak rationale sense there. I'd love to see some sort of a compromise. In this though people are in one side or the other, both think that the others conduct is detrimental to wikipedia. The amazing part about this is that they completely ignore this is controversial and refuse to discuss. Hopefully someone will finally take a minute think about things and ask questions or give answers god forbid. Sorry to rant on your page but you had some good insights.

Brews ohare appealThis appeal failed because most assembled spent no time understanding the matter, and simply vented their irritation over even being asked to do something. Thank you for taking a more considered approach. Brews ohare (talk) 02:11, 23 March 2010 (UTC) |
"principle of diversification"?
In this edit you refer to the "principle of diversification" without explaining what that is. Could you
- Explain what it is
- Cite a reliable source; and
- Link to a Wikipedia article that explains it?
Thank you. Michael Hardy (talk) 01:36, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- Michael, apologies. I have only now after 3 months logged on. I notice that others have opined on this and linked my use of the term to another article - not an article I know, but in my hiberation the wisdom of crowds has kicked in. I will try to revisit as soon as I can. Martinp (talk) 03:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thank you. They lost me a few times, but we got there in the end. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 10:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
A request
I saw your request. I appreciated it. I was responding, but for reasons I would prefer to share privately, that was taking some time.
I'd appreciate you contacting me via email, as there are some subtantive editorial issues I would like to ask your advice about. Unfortunately, my efforts have triggered the scrutiny of a handful of unfair wikihounders, I"d be grateful if i could have that advice outside of the scrutiny of those individuals. Geo Swan (talk) 16:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. Unfortunately, after some unpleasant interactions, I have stopped corresponding with wiki contributors by email. That is why I no longer have email enabled. However, since you have asked to do so, I'll find some way to set up a temporary email address and get back to you. Martinp (talk) 22:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
- Address martinp dot wikipedia at gmail dot com created. Please leave me a note here when you send me email, since I will not check that email box regularly. Martinp (talk) 22:44, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.

Dispute resolution survey
Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Martinp. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

RfA: thank you for your support
Martinp, thank you for your willingness to support me in my recent RfA. Your willingness to register your late-breaking support was heartening to this candidate. Warm regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:33, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Phineas Gage "Good Article" review
Having make ten or more edits to the article on Phineas Gage, or commented on its Talk in the last two years, perhaps you will be interested in the Good Article Review currently underway. I am particularly interested in gathering broader opinion on the following comment by the reviewer: "Many sentences are much too long for easy reading and to my mind overuse complicated constructions ... I will very strongly recommend a copy edit with ease of reading in mind, breaking up complex sentences and disentwining some of the flowery language." EEng (talk) 22:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Important Notice: Your 2013 Arbitration Committee Election vote
Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis
Wishing you all the best . . .
Merry Christmas, Martin, and may your holidays be merry and bright . . . . Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 07:10, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I really like your suggested template at ANI, . Please be bold. DGG ( talk ) 01:06, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the encouragement, @DGG:. I'll let the discussion at ANI play out to what seems to be an inevitable no-consensus non-close, and then (assuming I have time) I'll try to do so. Martinp (talk) 13:17, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Select Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
Your survey Link: https://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_06uOkt24YlsghnL&Q_CHL=gl
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.
Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 12:34, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
