Followup edit

Hi, thanks for the work that you've been doing on Wikipedia! In terms of how to warn users who may be vandalizing pages, you might be interested in this quickref page: WP:TUSER. Though I'd caution that these templates should only be used on new users. For more established users, it's better etiquette to post a personal note, with a diff of the exact edit(s) you're concerned about. Let me know if you have any questions, Elonka 23:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks edit

Thank you for your note. It means a lot to me to receive these notes, especially from people that voted against my adminship. Pleas trust that I will take all the comments to heart. Danny 23:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Trinity Graduation year? edit

Howdy! I've been working a little on Trinity High School (Euless, Texas)...it's great to have notable alumni like you that can be wikilinked. At least, I think you're an alumni...do you happen to know of a cite-able source that mentions you going to Trinity and your graduation year? (If not, can you informally verify the graduation year? I think it says "1999?" right now.) Thanks! --Hebisddave 13:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I can tell you I graduated in 1999, unfortunately I wasn't all that noteworthy then ;), I have a year book, but nothing online... --Michael Lynn 14:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
BTW, if you need links to source see the Michael Lynn talk page, I've got a good list of links that are still good --Michael Lynn 14:15, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

RFF edit

Just a quick note to say that I haven't forgotten to look at your article, but I've been very busy this week. I'll spend some time on it at the weekend. Adrian M. H. 23:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, it is much appreciated, I'm currently going through and reformatting all my sources in to WP:CITE format with references, hopefully I'll be finished by the time you get a chance to check it out...--Michael Lynn 00:00, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for not getting back, like adrian, I too have been very busy. my knowledge of stacking is very limited, so I trust that you've gotten the details correct. The sentence structure and fluency is very well done, so no problems there. The only improvement I can see is adding external links, as it will be helpful for people wanting more information then the article gives. Warrush
As for this- I tried to include a small section before but some users kept reverting it with blanket declarations that basically said "nuh uh" - Just add citations by your edits so they can't revert without adding references themselves, and if it continues, bring it up with an admin as they will help you out.

DYK edit

  On 19 August, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article stack buffer overflow, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Vulnerability Research edit

Surprisingly, this topic doesn't already seem to have its own article (I tried to track it down while writing a bio for Mary Ann Davidson). Do you know if there's another page I should redirect this to, or do you think (as I tend to at the moment) that this would deserve its own writeup? --- tqbf 22:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

actually i don't know of an existing article, we should both search around a bit more (say maybe until tomorrow) and if there isn't one it should be made, I'd love to discuss what you think should go on it... --Michael Lynn 06:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's a start: edit

User:Tqbf/Vulnerability Research

Thoughts / merciless edits appreciated. Once I buy into an outline, I can spew words into it pretty f'ing quickly.

The end does not justify the means? edit

I saw that you edited the "Consequentialism" website. I am trying to create an open source project similar to Wikipedia, but that uses a different format. It states a belief like: "The end does not justify the means" and then lists reasons to agree or disagree separately. You are then able to click on any of the reasons, to find reasons to agree or disagree with them. I have created an example of how it might work here: http://myclob.pbworks.com/w/page/21959922/The%20end%20does%20not%20justify%20the%20means However, I am looking for more people to help. The above site is the 7th result if you google “The end does not justify the means”. And so you would be providing direction to about 1,700 people a month, in a very organized way that I believe holds a lot of promise. If you would like to help edit the site, please contact me and I will give you the password. If you are interested more in the project, I explain it better here: http://code.google.com/p/ideastockexchange/ myclob (talk) 16:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
