User talk:Mike Van Emmerik

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome!

You've been here longer than I have and no one's had anything to say? Shame! Good work and nice contributions! You deserve, at the very least, this lovely flower.

I think you mean to put all of the stuff above this entry on your user page, not here on your talk page. That's at least the standard here; red usernames tend to draw scrutiny.

I saw your edits on function stack. You're right, the definition wasn't specific enough — have a look and see if you like my changes. --Mgreenbe 13:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much! The function stack changes are great; I tried to set Stack unwinding to point to the Unwinding section (though it doesn't seem to work). I resisted putting my own description in the main page, since it seems so vain to do that. However, I've done it at your kind suggestion, and even did a little editing. --Mike Van Emmerik 22:28, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

They mention the redirect thing on WP:R; the bugzilla discussion explains the infeasability. Thank you for your inspiring edits; they're what got me to work on the article! The user page is the gateway to userspace; you can do whatever you like. Most people talk about themselves a little; it helps people understand others' POV as well as their humanity. I don't think it's vain at all, it just makes usernames feel more like people.

Interesting PhD topic, by the way. A friend of mine at IU, as a summer project under Daniel P. Friedman, tried to take a micropass compiler and invert each of the passes...I don't know how far he got, but it's all very interesting. --Mgreenbe 00:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I screwed up

[With respect to the [edits] to the ABC page]

I thought it was spelt wrong. Jakken 18:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

And don't worry about it has already been reverted. Jakken 18:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links

[With respect to the video poker listing] It's full of advertising, it plays animation and a sound when you start it, and the encyclopedic links, if there are any, are not obvious from this page. ...

This isn't my opinion or rules, it's Wikipedia policy (and I'm glad they have this policy); see Wikipedia external links policy. --Mike Van Emmerik 21:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

That's all I needed to know and I will pass it along. Thank you for the explanation.
