I'm curious about your subpages...[edit]
I happened upon your subpages User_talk:Tubelius/page2 and User talk:Tubelius/Definitions. The first seems to a (to my eyes) a apparently random collection of quotes from various Wikipedia articles, and the second seems to be direct copy of http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/dict/, merged onto one page. I'm curious what you intend to do with them. They are (more or less) in your user space, and so, as long as you are using them to help you write the encyclopedia, it's your choice what to put there, but, nevertheless, I'm curious. Feel free to respond here or on my talk page. JesseW 01:34, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Hi JesseW, I am working on a bot that searches for grammatically incorrect sentences. I am using the system provided by some of the researchers at the Carnegie Mellon computer science website that you noticed. Basically my page2 shows some of the current output of the bot. Currently it only analyzes the pages linked to from the wikipedia main page (1 level deep). Once I get it working better I will probably go public with it somehow. I took at look at your talk page, what was it you were saying about DEEP THOUGHT? Isn't that an IBM chess program? Tubelius 02:13, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks; your grammar-bot does sound like an interesting project. Re: DEEP THOUGHT, it's a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference. Deep Thought was the name of a computer in the book, that produced the answer 42 as the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Someone had made a webpage listing various sightings of 42 in places around the world, and I thought it might be worth incorporating that into wikipedia. The IBM chess computer is Deep Blue.

Hi, please do not edit other users userpages, it can be considered vandalism. Thank you. ∞Who?¿? 08:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Huh? I did not mean to if I did. It was an accident! I promise! Who's did I edit? 08:05, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Oh nevermind, that user. I have made a proposal for a grammar bot and that is the user I will use to run it.
