Well said on reds

I really liked what you put here Silver Sloth (talk) 13:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Mop and bucket

My condolences. There might be some pledge thrashing guides around here somewhere... duck the pickles if you can... ħuman 03:45, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

If you put something on it, you'll look far more professional. Educated word Hoover! 09:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

"Review article"

Hey there-- Could you please put some links in your review article article, and some links somewhere else to that article, so it won't get lonely? Thanks. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 21:09, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I linked to it from God: the failed hypothesis, and that was when I found that no article about review articles existed. So it is not completely isolated! Will think of more tomorrow, is midnight here at the moment. --Mintman (talk) 22:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I chucked a see also to peer review on it since there wasn't an obvious place to link to it. I think we might also have some sort of article on scientific journals, but I'm not sure. ħuman 23:08, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I just looked and have not found an article on scientific articles, so I would be interested in starting it (what types are there, how are they usually organized, etc.). I will do so, later in day, unless somebody points me to where I have overlooked it. --Mintman (talk) 08:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Done. --Mintman (talk) 14:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Second generation atheist

Are you a second-generation socialist also? ListenerX^TalkerX 02:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, since I do not see leftist political views as an on/off switch as you seem to do, and do not know where you would draw the line to say "this is not red any more", this question is hard to answer. I am certainly a bit left of my parents, but they are also slightly left of German mainstream. --Mintman (talk) 07:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me for interrupting, but my sig uses my two favorite colors: ħuman 07:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mintman. Thanks for telling us a bit more about yourself. I always enjoy your well-thought-out contributions to debates.--Bob^{Not Jim} 08:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, Bob, why do you always have to have something smarter to say than I? ħuman 08:42, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I am at a loss to come up with an appropriate answer.--Bob^{Not Jim} 10:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Are your parents left-wing enough to have a problem with the Social Democratic Party? ListenerX^TalkerX 19:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

What is it to you? If you need to know, both they and myself are members, even though I sometimes wonder why I still am. Probably nostalgia from my youth, when I was still naive enough to think they would, once in power, do something to create jobs instead of just blaming the unemployed, which then basically turned out to be Schröder's entire legacy. Oh, that and attacking Yugoslavia in violation of our constitution. --Mintman (talk) 14:33, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
