Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thanks again for volunteering your time at the new pages patrol project. →Σ τ c. 05:45, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, didn't know about that, thanks! Angry Python (talk) 05:50, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of tongues and drums...

Thank you for finding the right redirect (finally!) for Tongue drum. When I came across the article I thought it sounded as though it was describing something remarkably like a slit drum; I should have just made it a redirect there myself and saved you the trouble.

No problem! There's far too much work to do here, so we share it out. :-) Cheers, Angry Python (talk) 22:32, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Question

Hi. I noticed your report at UAA and looked through some of your recent contributions. Have you ever edited Wikipedia before? I saw that you were making edits not generally common to new users, including using Twinkle and fixing double redirects. TNXMan 14:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I edited a while back under another account, and have also done a fair bit of anonymous editing. Angry Python (talk) 18:08, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On Dr. Binkley's Philosophy ...

Hello AngryPython -

Re: /* Timothy Binkley */ Responded to AngryPython's questions and gave a different link illustrating a citation of Dr. Binkley's ideas.

Please forgive, I am new at this. Dr. Binkley uses the term "metamedium," which is relevantly similar to McLuhan's "metamedia." I was not sure how to give citations and cross-reference this point ... as you are right! No one mentions the two together that I have found. Consequently, I searched for pieces in which both McLuhan and Binkley's ideas were discussed in the context of "metamedia" or "digital media" or the more esoteric "metamedium."

And you are correct Wechsler and Traub refer to Binkley's work without mentioning his name in the article. References to his writings appear in the footnotes (3 for Wechsler, 1 for Traub). I am sorry if I misunderstood how to do wikipedia citations correctly.

Here is a link to Elizabeth Bell's Book, "Theories of Performance," showing her mention of Dr. Binkley's ideas. http://books.google.com/books?id=Qb9wZsoJw3YC&lpg=PT277&ots=sys1Jw6KPL&dq=Timothy%20Binkley%20Marshall%20McLuhan&pg=PT277#v=onepage&q=Timothy%20Binkley%20Marshall%20McLuhan&f=false

True, it is not the best citation for the points concerning Dr. Binkley's philosophy.

I have removed all references for the moment. And I DO appreciate your guidance as I am a novice here and wish to learn how to maintain the high standards of credibility.

Thanks for your patience with me, AngryPython, and for helping correct my "bads." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonyashannon (talk • contribs) 22:44, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
