 * FYI, my "proposal" was that on certain pages the CC-BY-SA be 'replaced' by CC-BY-NC-SA as per the "other conditions may apply" mentioned at the bottom of the page. Keep in mind two things:
 * It is not reasonable to approach the WMF with such a complicated proposal in order to marginally improve one resource.
 * My main point was that administrators should not be second guessing each other's decisions without good reason.


 * But thanks for you effort to explain your decision (even though your effort was largely futile ;-)--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 20:27, 8 October 2019 (UTC).

LongPages
FYI, I was looking at Special:LongPages and noticed that there were a few that you created (like Quizbank/HTW/FE) that are very close to the MediWiki maximum page size of 2MB. --mikeu talk 20:11, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Mu301@undefined Thanks for pointing this out. I noted that you did not ask me to delete the pages, but  went ahead and looked at them anyway.


 * 1) If you look at this log you will see that I deleted a number of low quality and largely unviewed pages.
 * 2) It would also be possible to delete these-two pages since the same information is available elsewhere.


 * More deletions could be made, but only if I reorganize the pages. Some of these pages are long because they involve numerical problems with 20 or so random number inputs.  While this might take a bit more space than software with an equation for the answer, I find it easier to program the questions this way.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 26 October 2019 (UTC)


 * It looks fine. I just wanted to give you a heads up that you were getting close to the limit. It is probably better to create new content that is that large in pages that are split in 2 or 4. That makes it easier/faster for smaller/older devices to render the page. --mikeu talk 22:05, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Email
I've sent you an email, FYI. Thanks. —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 19:48, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I Got the email but am too busy this week. We have a 3-day weekend coming up.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 17:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

I love your Quantum Mechanics page. It is a great way to explain Physics without the mathematical underpinnings that so many people have a difficult time understanding.

Positive Letter of Recommendation
Hello Guy! This is Kateland from this summer. I stopped by your office yesterday but I think I had just missed you! I was wondering if you would like to meet before I leave on sunday to talk about your website and the feedback I've gotten from students as well as if you would be willing to write a positive letter of recommendation for me? Let me know, I am free for the rest of the week and would love to stop by.
