David Linden page
Hi. I started the entry on David Linden that you flagged, and it has since
been edited by me and by at least one other person. I was wondering whether
some of your concerns had been addressed. If Linden passes notability now
(or if he might), could you tell me how to fix the problem of his last name
beginning with a lower-case letter? I haven't figured that issue out.

I fixed the title. See Help:Moving a
page<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Moving_a_page> for
information on how to change the title of a page. While I'm here, I'll fix
up the formatting a bit as well. As for the article issues, some of them
have been addressed, so I'll modify the notice accordingly. By the way,
don't forget to post to my user *talk* page instead of my user page when you
want to contact me. Pyrospirit<

And I'd guess you still are. ;) Wikipedia doesn't have the most
newcomer-friendly interface, unfortunately. Also, on the scale of mistakes,
posting a question to the wrong page is pretty minor when you compare it to
the poor folks over at the village
stocks<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:STOCKS>
. Hint: Don't delete the main page, crashing the servers is a bad thing,Jimbo
Wales <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimbo_Wales> should not be blocked,
and the correct title for the administrators'
noticeboard<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AN> is
not "Wikipedia:BWAHAHAHAH". On the subject of the David
Linden<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Linden> article
again, I got rather absorbed in editing and ended up making a lot of
changes, including deleting a whole section. From the perspective of someone
who knows more about Linden than I do, were there any problems with the
changes I made? Pyrospirit <

I don't think so, except maybe the references to Joy McCann's blog, Little
Miss Attila--though blog quotes are probably dicey in the first place. The
one thing that's tricky about Linden is that because of The Accidental Mind
I'm not sure he should be judged strictly as an academic, since as a
"popularizer of neuroscience" he might also be sort of a pop-culture figure
as well. Not sure.
I'll try not to block Jimmy Wales! ;)
