Welcome
Hi Patrick (is that what I should call you?) - and welcome to Wikiversity! I saw your note on Wikiversity talk:Research, and would be delighted if you could drive your research interests forward here. Also looking forward to working with you. :-) Cormaggio talk 13:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Strategic Studies
I think I'll just leave it up there for now, but my original intention was never to define the word strategy except in its narrow sense. In it's broader sense, Strategy defies definition, and has been called everything between "ordnance on target" and "...the province of life and death, the road to survival or ruin" by smarter people than me. So, I'll just see what people do with what's there and go on from that.--Dnjkirk 16:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Stub pages
Hi Patrick, I've noticed you're using stub templates to mark your pages that need to be expanded. I think this very useful for Wikiversity and wish more people would use them. The template taken from Wikipedia has been used at Wikiversity to mark stub pages. We need to encourage more people to use stubs. I think to do this we need to make it as simple as possible. One way would be to use only   and if necessary a separate Category to the identify the page subject area. What do you think? Mystictim 18:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Patrick
I am interested in your micro molecular project. I will look over some of the research information in your link on your home page. I have a B.S. in Engineering Physics but very rusty on Chemistry and Math, still I might be of some use. Talk to you again soon I hope. Mirwin 04:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Electric
I looked at this just briefly, I will look at it again. If I understand what the types of tools and capabilities do and need some of them might be pretty number crunching intensive. I have been trying to whip up some enthusiasm for a Wikiveristy virtual supercomptuer based on BOINC (Berkely Open Infrastructure Computing??). It is the general version of the high successful seti@home project. It uses volunteered screensavers to do massively parallel distributed computing for number crunching intensive science projects. If you feel you could run a screen saver and are not already donating your spare computing power you might consider joining our wikiversity teams. To set our own up it will take at least a ten thousand dollar budget so we need to show an active group of learners and enthusiasts to convince the Wikimedia Foundation Board and/or the Special Projects Committee that a server for our supercomputer would be a good investment in distributed elearning at Wikiveristy. Let me know when you have clean up those papers. I definately intend to read them again. Maybe before you clean them up, but definately soon after, there were very interesting concepts. Sincerely.

Re: MicroMIRV air defense system
Hello, I saw that in 17:10, 20 January 2007 you edited the above page. Are you still interested to continue ? The talk page is at the moment set for deletion. Erkan Yilmaz ( evaluate me!, discussion ) 17:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

images
I deleted two images you had uploaded. One showed a page of a journal article or a book. Without any additional information, I have to assume that it was copyrighted material and having it at Wikiversity is not compatible with our licensing strategy. The other image seemed to be a business card. The purpose of Wikiversity user pages is to provide space to help people participate at Wikiversity. If you want to make a link from your user page to a personal website, you are free to do so, as long as doing so fits in with the educational mission of Wikiversity. We do not allow all external links. For example, we do not allow links that seem to randomly promote commercial websites or illegal activities. --JWSchmidt 18:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called JPatrickBedell. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JPatrickBedell~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
