Goal setting

[edit]

Thank you for your excellent edits to Goal setting. I found your edits, uh, inspirational; more concretely, they inspired me to do what I describe here. Yes, you set my goal and motivated me! (Flashes rows of improbably white teeth as violins play and rubes pull out their credit cards.)

The name Douglas Vermeeren keeps popping up. It would be interesting to see whether the IP numbers of those who insert this material into various articles (articles that, it must be said, are grotty even without the material) might show any resemblance to the IP numbers used by Vermeeren's company.

As well as removing material from articles (and rightly so), do please add material. After all, a concentration on weeding out promotion, self-promotion, junk "psychology", pseudoscience, etc from Wikipedia can soon trigger a very black opinion of your fellow person. -- Hoary (talk) 10:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk pages

[edit]

Hello, thanks for your contributions to How to Win Friends and Influence People and its talk page. However, when starting new talk page sections, please put them at the end of the page (the new section link is handy for that), as described in the talk page guidelines. Also, as it implies there, refactoring talk pages is not done much these days ... it's a better idea to just leave sections alone except to add messages. Graham87 03:14, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well if there's no refactoring, that's a bad idea. The talk pages get very messy.

And if you're going to order them chronologically, reverse-chronologically would be better. Leave the out-dated stuff till last. And delete stuff that's no longer relevant, which is a lot of it.

That's not how things work here. I've replied at the talk page. Graham87 14:19, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
