Telephone friends and ask them

Okay, I just now got off the telephone after speaking to a professional linguist. He knows several languages and went through a university on a scholarship. I have known him all of my life minus 7 years. I asked some of the questions I have seen here. He does use wiki areas from time to time. He stays very busy but he has his spare time. He stated that in reference to contributing, he had "just never thought of it." When busy researching one gathers information from many sources and moves on. I especially discussed the Spanish areas with him because I know he has had over eight years of Spanish and taught Spanish. He also has several years of French and Latin and some Italian. I asked him to please consider some of what we are doing here and of the questions he asked me I told him that you can create an alias if you want to. Since he had never thought of writing on a wiki area he didn't know one could create an alias. This fellow is a professional and years ago he worked for the Peace Corps. Did anyone else telephone anyone and ask they why they don't contribute to one or more of the many wili areas? It is good to tell people that there are these various areas because this fellow I chated with loves languages. He is sharp and knows what he is doing so if someone were to "troll", as I read in another post here, or be foolish towards him, he would not continue to waste his time. This is why I thought of allowing some people to create and not allow others to but in on their work as I have stated in another message here called "from my experience" I myself wonder if anyone reads these ideas that I write and more so follow up on any of them or am I just wasting my time here? --William Maury Morris 01:18, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
