Hi Fatima, as an effort to minimize the distinction between AboutUsStaff and ActiveMembers, we are replacing the AboutUsStaff/AboutUsEmployees/AboutUsStaffCity categories with AboutUsCity Category. You are welcome to share your ideas/thoughts on AboutUsPeopleCleanup#Discussion page. Best, Obed Suhail

Nice suggestion

I think,A separate section for palmistry enthusiasts might be a great idea,it will be a kind of sample handanalysis and would help in brain storming.Feel free to jump in and add your thoughts accordingly.We can always tweak after wards.Thanks for taking out time for giving thoughts about it. Asma Khan

need some help?

Fatima, Such a powerful name, doesn't it mean "Mother of the Faithful", al-hamdulillah! I just wanted to let you know that I am very interested in helping out in the Portal:Writing Lab. I am a writer and journalist as well. much of my written work can be found on my website and blog at Evolution of Thought Institute E.T.I. Website. Please let me know what I can do to assist you and AboutUs. Thanks... Bryan W. Daugherty | talk

just looking over the project page I see you are currently focusing on adding content such as under/graduate application essays, that is a great idea. I believe that I could come up with some new sections for the lab with a little brainstorming! I would be most interested in hearing some ideas from you as well as saliha to give me a little more direction in adding something unique and useful to help draw in some participation from within and outside the community! I look forward to sharing these thoughts whenever you have time. Also, I could post a few college research papers that I have completed and received honors for. You may have noticed on my personalpage that I have plans to post my ongoing sustainable agriculture business plan that I have been working on for some land I currently own in Maine. I think this will help for those who want a comprehensive concept of a Business plan as well as a blue print for sustainable agriculure / development practices. Within these plans I as well have incorperated a detailed list of plans for every facet of operation. Perhaps we can as well provide a section on individuals who wish to learn how to begin and maintain live projects.. This is most interesting and I have quite a few ideas on how we can add to the wealth of ideas for the writing lab. Bryan W. Daugherty | talk

• also how and where would i add content such as past research articles?

Will you take a look at this page i just created --> Aggravated_Assault I will add some pictures graphs, inserts and references soon.. I see I have a message from you and will reply shortly!

Ok so I also made a page for an essay about Drinking Water Quality & The Contamination of Public Drinking Supplies you can find it here Drinking_Water_Quality_&_The_Contamination_of_Public_Drinking_Supplies I understand that i need to clean it up but if you could help in placing it in the right categories it would be a great help! thanks. and expect more! Bryan W. Daugherty | talk

I cleaned up the Drinking Water paper, and have made another news article titled The_State_Of_Security_In_America. Unfortunately I will have to retype much of my business plan however it is a task that had to be done anyways, In the meantime I will brainstorm with some of your suggestions. I look forward to expanding aboutus content and participation! Bryan W. Daugherty | talk

Just so you know - Feel free to edit all of these submissions as you wish.. also if you get a moment I would like your thoughts regarding a welcomingpeople idea I posted. Excerpt:

 *What works for you? What do you think is important? Add your thoughts to the list! 

I think that while examining the articles, content and personalpages (if they have any) with due consideration with each of the new members interests, welcomers could help direct new members to the Portal:Writing_Lab if they notice they have a stong background for content production. This as well applies to the various other Portals and categories that may produce more user participation! Many of these AboutUs features alreay have a great platform in place but may just need a little more user participation which will increase its visibility! It will also help to define a real personal message to the community member. Bryan W. Daugherty | talk

Fatima, Good Morning from New York as well as happy Labor Day! I will definately make those suggested edits either later today or tonight.. I also wholeheartedly agree that we should definately use "structure" and "direction" while planning new things for the Portal:Writing_Lab and will try to make a task list for myself to prioritize the steps I need to take to offer the aboutus community some helpful info on our brainstorm of Business Plans... I hope to chat with you later!

Fatima, I just added the references as well as placed a small description of the things you asked inAggravated_Assault .. please let me know what you think or if there is anything else I may need to add! talk

Epicurus

Fatima:

I definitely think you are on the right track here. The general organization of the pages, the conceptual schema, and the comments you leave on links are all good. Also, way to go on image citations!

One thought: what about a section for related terms (categories): Epicurean, Philosophy, etc. Pick the ones you think are most relevant.

You're doing a great job!

Portal:Writing Lab

Fatima, How are you doing today? Im not sure whether you had a chance to recheck those articles but I believe they may be ready.. I would like to elaborate though on the "john doe" reasoning if it seems it isnt clear. I do believe that it is a jewel to those who plan to make the most of their educations. i am curious as to your thoughts on this.. Aggravated Assault. Bryan W. Daugherty | talk

• Sounds good... I really think that we can develop the idea of "a thesis" over the course of an academic career. such as you may write over your highschool and collegiate career numerous papers as I am sure you are aware. so say for example, a freshman in college is a social science / liberal art major, he/she then, depending on various coursework at different colleges, must follow the outlined academic plan in order to receive a degree. many of these courses correspond with eachother such as; Soc of Crime & Deliq, Minorities in American culture, environmental chemistry, philosophy, etc.. many or all of these courses require a paper in some manner, if you felt as if you wanted to seek a post graduate degree in the future in say, Criminology, Sociology, etc, one of your requirements is a dissertation. obviously each paper would be relevant in its own specific way to your overall (at a later date) thesis. This was originally brought up by a conversation that I had with Dr. Bill McCarthy a couple years ago. I understand that your portal is academic by nature, and that this may be difficult to tie in. Perhaps it could be best illustrated in an community article titled "Ideas for Successful Academics" or "How to approach your Post Graduate Dissertation in 12th Grade" (I like that 1!) I hope that you may find some time to brainstorm about this as a means to perhaps even poll aboutusstaff and activemembers to see if they have any ideas as well! just a thought! | talk--DaughertyBw 23:25, 3 September 2007 (PDT)
