::::::Hello guys! I'm sorry! I think this miss-understanding is my fault. I at least should have headed it off. | |||
::::::I'll try to explain how I see this, but first, I think some background is in order. Yang did an amazing job with our Dunhill articles. He dedicated a tremendous amount of time researching and consulting with other Dunhill experts and factory personal. He also has excellent skills with Mediawiki and put together what I feel is a model to work toward for the rest of our articles. He continues to have a great deal of interest in his legacy here, and likes to be involved with any changes. If I'm going to make changes with the Dunhill articles, I will typically consult him first, in order to honor his investment in them, and to make sure I'm not messing something up ;) I realize this is not typical of other wikis, but I think it will prove to be fruitful here on Pipedia for the Dunhill articles. | |||
::::::Magna has been making many excellent improvements across many articles. Sometimes they have involved a process that can be initially alarming (such as deleting files), but they turn out to be a refinement that will yield more consistency between the articles, and amount to "best practices" for wikis, and are extremely helpful, if not essential, for the over all health of our project moving forward. | |||
::::::My suggestion would be to work together on the Dunhill articles as much as possible. You are both much more skilled with Mediawiki than I am. I have worked with both of you, and I know that you both have the best of intentions. And I think the best results would be to have you both working on this. It would involve a different type of collaboration than I think is typical on larger projects (such as Wikipedia). But my hope is that we can pull it off here. What do you think? | |||
::::::Assuming we can collaborate on this level, is it best to do that via individual user talk pages? Or perhaps moving the dialogue to the "Discussion" tabs for the affected articles would be more to the point? That would have the advantage of documenting everything in context, and perhaps heading off misunderstandings in the future if we have other contributors making changes down the road... | |||
::::::Thanks to you both for all your work! [[User:sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:sethile|talk]] | |||
