[edit] Re : why the delete?

May I know which is the article in question that was deleted? - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 15:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• The article was nominated for deletion on 28 February 2006, and the result of the debate was delete. (3 delete votes only). This is in accordance to consensus and the deletion policy. Its nomination was on the grounds that the article was not notable. I must admit, though that the criteria for articles on Wikipedia have been much stricter these days. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 15:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• I do not expect the standards to be laxed in the near future. However, I can recover a copy of the article and place it on your user subpage if you wish to for personal uses. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 15:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Done. :) - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 16:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PhD | Subject

Hello! ---I monitor Education userboxes and found your contribution a little redundant. If you combine User_PhD and Economics as Favourite Subject you contrive the message. Otherwise, we may end up having duplicate degree/subject all over the place, and that's not pleasant. Louie 20:14, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

HalfDome, please single out those ten userboxes which may have subject specification, and put them with the PhD userbox in Generic Degrees. This way we shall know which userboxes for degree/subject may be missing.--- Thank you, Louie 18:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Global warming graph

Sorry about this hasty reply; I've just come home from vacation. I'll look into the graph and your complaints. If there is a valid argument, while this is Wikipedia and we could handle it ourselves, I will recommend taking a a consensus-driven path. I have to go unpack now and will check this out in more detail later. — ßottesiηi ^(talk) 22:10, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: differ from

Well done, I think that's a much better (and geographically neutral) phrasing. Concensus at last! Waggers 11:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dynamic inconsistency

Hi, I guess that this edit was yours? I am just leaving you a message here to point to the guidelines I was following in my subsequent edits, i.e. Wikipedia:Categorization and the various formatting/style guidelines are on or linked to from Wikipedia:Manual of Style. thanks Martin 14:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't look at the IP carefully enough, maybe it wasn't yours. oh well. Martin 14:21, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "claiming weasel words in addition is just name-calling."

please have a look at Talk:Upskirt. I strongly object to characterise my action as "name calling". there are weasel words. it needs cites, you are right, but the weasel words are there as well. they need to go.-- ExpImp^talkcon 21:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FairTax

HalfDome, I wanted to appologize for being a bit smug. My wikistress level is pretty high and I'm just worn out by all the trolling and POV pushers (see Raul's first law of Wikipedia). It just seems like it is getting worse around here and I did not properly assume good faith with my responce. I did make some changes to your recent edits but I think you'll be ok with them.
