Hello Asad Mahmood Butt and welcome to [[AboutUs]]!!!
 
  
Please feel warmly welcomed to jump right in and edit any page on the [[wiki]] ... after all "[[ItsYourWiki|It's Your Wiki!]]" And don't worry ... other [[AboutUs]] [[CommunityMember|community members]] can easily help you untangle any messes that you might accidentally create.  We love to help new members of the community :-) After all, it wasn't so long ago when we were the ones bumbling around in a wiki for the first time :-)
 
 
==Welcome==
 
Great to see you this morning, please check out the [[help]] -- [[Ray King]]
 
 
 
==That edit==
 
As far as that edit, it looks like  a mess.  Something to study and try and figure out what is going on. Best, [[MarkDilley]]
 
 
==[[AdultContent]]==
 
Hi Asad, I personally think that [[AdultContent]] is different than [[IllegalContent]] - for that reason I like them to be seperated.  I don't want to think of child porn as part of [[AdultContent]] because for me it solidly falls in the [[IllegalContent]] realm.  Does that make sense?  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
 
 
Hi Asad! :-)  Thanks for the note and yes, you folks can start patrolling again.  I am not sure if [[BrandonSanders]] has suggested this or not, but it might be good to look at the contributions of [[KristinaWeis]], [[Isabel]], [[ScottKeeler]] and [[User:Nathan|Nathan]] - to see how they are making certain decisions about what to fix and not fix.  I am not saying you should do it like them :-)  Just check them out :-)  Best, MarkDilley
 
 
== Visit to Lahore ==
 
 
Hi Asad,
 
 
It was great to meet you as well.  The hospitality in Lahore was fantastic.  I'm looking forward to my next trip :-)
 
 
Regards,<br>

== New Pic ==

== Lasik Thoughts ==
 
 
Hi Asad,
 
 
I'm glad to see that you got some help with your questions about what to do next.  Your work on the introductions of the doctors is excellent!  You are definitely getting close to being ready to send out emails to all the lasik centers in LA.
 
 
: ''Also, the email for Lasik providers contains the Lasik tables in wiki text.''
 
 
When you have an actual email address, select the rendered html (rather than the raw wikitext) and then copy and paste that into a gmail message.  It will preserve the formatting and the images.  Sending a message via a form is going to be substantially trickier.  You'll have to send a text only version of the email.
 
 
Warm Regards,<br>

== [[Template:LASIK:GoBack]] ==
 
 
Nathan and I just created a new template to put a link on each doctor's page, back to the LASIK page for their city.  Here's an example: [[Jacqueline D. Griffiths, M.D]].  I would recommend putting this on each doctor's page.  Also, I used [[Template:TOCright]].  Do you like the way that looks, with the Table on Contents on the right?  If so, feel free to change the other pages, or just use that for the new pages you're creating.  peace, [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]] 11:42, 15 May 2007 (PDT)
 
 
== [[Portal Talk:LASIK]] ==
 
I made a new page for anyone working on the LASIK portal to be able to talk about new ideas and on-going work.  It would be great if you could write there about the comments already there, and also about your ongoing LASIK portal work. [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
== "waiting for others" comment ==
 
 
Asad, I see you've copied your "waiting for others" section to the portal talk page.  I don't have a preference where that list lives, but I do recommend that you keep it only in one place, not two.  I find it's annoying to have to update the same list in two places, which is why I suggest this.  If you actually want it to appear in two places, then I'd recommend [[tranclusion]].  Do you know how to do that?  If not, ask and I'll show you. :-) [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
: I also think that it's better to have it on one page instead of two, but I am certainly interested in knowing something about tranclusion.
 
 
Seems like there should be a [[transclusion]] page.  Maybe you want to hunt for it?  Anyway, you know how we use templates?  Like this: {{TemplateLink|TEMPLATENAME}}?  Well, that's transclusion.  By default, double curly braces take whatever's on that page, in the Template namespace, and puts it on the other page.  You don't have to use the Template namespace, however.  You just have to put a : in front of the name, like this {{TemplateLink|:MAINNAMESPACEPAGENAME}}.  So maybe make a page called [[AsadWaiting]] and transclude it on your page, and once that works, transclude it on the portal talk page as well.  Clear? [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
== where are you keeping responses? ==
 
 
When you get an email back, where are you keeping that info?  Also, do the 4 of you have the work broken down by city?  I'm just trying to get an idea of the scope of coordination that needs to be happening as each of you are emailing providers.  Thanks! [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
== [[DomainPage]] and/or name of LASIK provider as page name ==
 
 
Asad, I notice you moved all your pages from their domain name names to be the names of the clinic or provider.  At first I thought it made a lot of sense to do it that way, because the provider name is way more important than their domain name.  Then Mark pointed out that we lose the link to that domain name from the page.  See [[WeLinkYou]] for a visual of the link.    Do you see what I mean?  I see a couple of ways forward (I'm sure there are more):
 
# Move the pages back where they were, so that at least there are redirects from the clinic name to the domain name.
 
# Move the pages back and come up with a standard way to highlight the clinic name near the top of the page.
 
# Leave them as they are, with inconsistency and some disagreement about which way is "right."
 
# Start a consensus poll on the issue of naming.
 
What do you think?  [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
== skype call ==
 
 
Asad, I would like to have a skype call with you for 15 minutes Thursday morning at 9am your time, okay?  I'm scheduling the others for subsequent days.  If this doesn't work, we can reschedule.  Thanks!  [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
== Removing thumbnails ==
 
 
Something a bit easier for you would be to just link to [[RemoveThumbnail]] when removing thumbnails per [[AdultContentPolicy]]. It should save you some typing.

:There is also [[RemoveCategory]] for the same type of reason. [[Nathan|<span style="color:#3971DE">'''Nathan'''</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Nathan|<span style="color:#3971DE">'''talk'''</span>]])</sup> / <small><em>04:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)</em></small>
 
 
== [[PageNameBestPractices]] ==
 
 
I love what you wrote!  Could you put yourself down as a participant on that page with a YES or Not Yet, please?  Thanks! [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
 
 
== consensus polls ==
 
 
I think maybe we ought to talk about how consensus polls work.  A couple of notes:
 
# the status options are "yes" and "not yet".  There is no "no"
 
# you can change you status as often as you need to, as the document evolves
 
# points 1 and 2 taken together mean that as soon as you know you're interested in an issue, which you clearly are in this case given your writing above, you should put your name on the poll with a status of Not Yet.  The reason to start with Not Yet is that you haven't made up your mind yet on what's there, or what's there is confusing or incomplete or just plain wrong or whatever.  It's only by putting your status as not yet and stating your concerns that the rest of us can listen to those concerns and try to address them, once they've been heard
 
Make sense?  Should we schedule another skype? [[User:TedErnst|TedErnst]]
