2004

Hi, I noticed you edited the entry on History of science and technology and seem to be someone who knows about the field (at least well enough to know some of its journals). I've been rewriting the article for awhile (I'm about halfway done) because I think the current one is a complete mess and doesn't at all talk about the development of the [i]study[/i] of the history of science. The text as it currently sits (I haven't had time to add to it systematically lately) is at User:Fastfission/HST, if you have any edits/suggestions/comments they would be greatly appreciated! I know the development of the history of science as a field a lot better than I do the development of the history of technology, so I'm afraid I may miss some things that you might be able to give suggestions on. If you get the time and feel the inclination, of course! Thanks! --Fastfission 03:09, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry this took a day to get back to you on. I think your ideas are good, and I'd be more than happy to add more details of the history of technology into the HST article. I think that it ought to be kept together with history of science in one big article, personally, only because that's how its academically usually packaged, and (as you know) because the line between history of technology and history of science can be so fuzzy. But I'm not wedded to the idea, and if a full-fledged history of technology article were to evolve at some point, that would be excellent as well. In the US, there is a lot of history of technology though it often gets done in STS programs (here I'm thinking of David Mindell at MIT, for example) and there aren't too many programs dedicated *only* to history of technology (Georgia Tech has one, but I don't know of too many others) -- usually history of science and technology are packaged together, again in part, I believe, because the line can be difficult to define especially when doing "externalist" history of science (as a case in point, I'm currently reading Peter Galison's book on Einstein, Poincare, and the coordination of telegraphic time; Galison is firmly known as a historian of science, physics to be precise, but the work covers the entire spectrum: history of science, history of technology, history of philosophy, history of physics, history of mathematics, etc. It's an excellent read, as well). Also, I think the Beckmann article is very good. I think there is a serious lack of HST topics on Wikipedia, and agree that the rest of the web is full of mostly twice-repeated junk on these topics, but that's what makes it a fun effort, yes? --Fastfission 16:27, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Biographical dictionaries being one of my major interests, I'm impressed by your CV. Deb 14:27, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Industrial Revolution

Good to see that someone else thinks that Industrial Revolution is a yawning chasm in Wikipedia. I started trying to work on the entry itself, but found that there was just no supporting material already out there that I could stitch together: I've now been sidetracked into remedying that first. I've created Category:Industrial Revolution into which I'm loading all the topics to be worked on. Please help! I'm also creating pretty much the same list on User talk:Noisy (which you can add to as well, if you feel the need ;-) ). That list will also contain peripheral topics.

I notice that you mentioned conflicts over historical facts, somewhere. In the little bit of research on the web that I've done, I am starting to see that Arkwright and Hargreaves get trumpeted as having done things that they didn't, purely because they're more well known. I'll be relying on you to steer me clear of these faux pas. Noisy 14:42, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi Tony, discussions on the village pump are removed at least every few days. If you think the issue needs to be discussed further (and I think it would be interesting if it was), please create a page about it on Meta so it does not disappear so quickly. Since most of that discussion was focused on one user, I didn't think it would be appropriate to copy that anywhere. If a discussion is started, it ought to focus on the genera issues rather than specific cases in my opinion. Angela. 13:31, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Tony, if you mean your edits to m:Talk:Draft privacy policy, those are showing up normally for me. I expect you are seeing a cached version. Try logging in, or reloading the page and you should see the current version. The day at the BBC was primarily for us to talk to BBC staff. There's a report on it at m:Wikipedian meetings in Europe/BBC, August 2004. We were interviewed for an hour, but this wasn't filmed. An article based on this is on the BBC website. Angela. 11:50, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Tony! (and only a few days late!) Best wishes. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 03:52, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Great articles

I assume you know how much wikipedia needs what you write, rather than one more article about a minor cartoon character. Some of us notice. And happy birthday too. alteripse 12:15, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Simon Goodrich

I knew I was taking a chance picking on the one statement. :-) I don't personally doubt that what you wrote is correct, but in the article it stood out as something a future less-knowledgeable editor might delete as "POV". Dunno if it's happened to you, I've been hit with it a number of times, one gets into an argument and you have to haul out your sources anyway. So published source citing is partly a defensive/preemptive measure to discourage bad edits. On the plus side, it also gives you the tools you need to stop the nutjobs from adding pet theories about Goodrich being in the Illuminati or whatever. Stan 18:55, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Industrial Espionage during the Industrial Revolution

I read on your user page you are knowledgeable in this area? Could you write a section on it in Industrial Revolution, please?--Fenice 17:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Give me his/her contact email if he/she wants to ask questions. I will get in touch. I don't want to post my email on Wikipedia. --AlainV 04:06, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

An article you recently created, List of AFL Women's debuts in 2024, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.
