 Hi , I am Percy. Nice to meet you. I love the beach, swimming, fishing, and I am currently doing some research at Wikiversity on oceanography. I am also learning to play piano. What do you like? Can I be your mascot?

Who knows, you may be interested in this category ? The last time I blacked out by alcohol is a few years back - was at university. Since then I did not touch alcohol anymore :-) Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 19:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Headings
Hi Lauten. A quick wiki tip for you: See User talk:Tim Malysiak for some guidelines on a way to make even better headings on your page. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Lauten - FYI, I just added headings to your page - check them out; hope they help. Your e-portfolio is really coming along. Let me know if I can do anything else. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Essay
Hi Lauten. I see you've posted a draft essay!? Good on you Are you thinking of submitting as a Wikiversity essay (which is fine) or as a word processed document? Depending on which way you want to go, I can then tailor some feedback/suggestions. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 04:05, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Paragraphs off the page
Hi Lauten, I t think that is probably happening when a paragraph starts with spaces. So edit and remove any blank spaces at the start of those paragraphs, and it should work. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Images
Hi Lauten, unfortunately I suspect there are copyright restrictions on the images you're uploading. A copyright license needs to be declared for each image and only those who open, free-to-use licensed can be uploaded. If you hold the copyright, this is OK, you can release it (but need to indicate, e.g., public domain). Otherwise, the copyright holder needs to have released the image under an open-license, or have given permission. So, this makes most images on the web not legally uploadable. The good news, however, is that you can find and use images from, e.g., see commons:Category:Social psychology. Most people do something like what you've done early on, unless it gets explained. So, I'll go through and delete the images, but feel free to re-upload if there are any you think that are appropriate; otherwise try replacing with an equivalent from. Sorry, about the hassle, but that's how the world of images and copyright works and Wikiversity respects this. Sincerely, James. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Women today
Hey Lauten, I was just reading your discussion of women in workplaces and how they've felt or how its changed. Obviously i haven't been in the work force long but i thought i'd try and give you another perspective. I too have worked in the dental field and although i've never had any serious issues being an assistant i was subjected to some rather chauvantistic comments from male dentists who acted like they where god-like. Unfortunately i think it seems to be a problem in that particular field because my experience in other work places has been vastly different. Although gender equality still exists i think we are incredibly lucky in this country. There are avenues of action that can be taken if women feel threatened in the work force. In fact in one instance i complained to the head dentist about one of the associates and he was subsequently asked to leave. The other side of the coin is that i've actually witnessed many men being "teased" in workplaces and i think any complaint by them may have been taken less seriously.
