[edit] 1957 Georgia Memorial to Congress

I agree with your comments regarding the need for still another major overhaul. Yours, Famspear 05:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Preempitive war

Our discussion is not having (for me) anything with Israel attack but only with preemptive war (it is not important which state make preemptive war) which is against international law. You will not find lawyer who can support in the independent court and win case of preemptive war against UN rules Rjecina 7:28, 28 march 2007 (CET)

Now you make mistake. In UN there is 192 countries. Of that number only U.S and Israel think that preempitive war is OK under law. Wikipedia need to add this to article and I will fight for that. It will not be surprise for you that all polls in Europe (not to say other part of world) show that this 2 states which support preemptive war are more dangerous for world peace of Iran (for example). In last year poll number 1 for must dangerous state for world peace has been together U.S.A and North Korea. Israel has been "only" number 3. Rjecina 19:28, 30 march 2007 (CET)

I am now really tired. My only edit in Six-Day war are words of Dayan. All writen on discussion page is for discussion not for article. My point is that I can write what I want on discussion page (NPOW all any other) because we are free to exchange thinking so that article latter can become better (if changes from discussion are OK). Now if you have something against words of Israel minister of defence in wartime which is speaking latter why war is started I want to hear it if not I really do not understand where is problem (discussion page is never problem)?

[edit] maps

Hi, thanks for the complements. I know the colours are similar between the ADQ and the PQ, but that can't be avoided. Yellow is not one of their colours! As for the number of colours, I don't plan on changing it. The map is meant to show the % each party got, and 2 colours defeats the purpose. If anything, more colours are warranted because some ridings were +70% and +80%. If you want to see what more colours look like, check out my maps at Ottawa South. I think they tell a better story than what 2 colours look like. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attempt to delete category of Jewish athletes

Well, they are trying to delete a category of Jewish athletes again. This time, figure skaters. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_April_14#Category:Jewish_figure_skaters . I pointed out to the originator of the attempt that we had addressed this general issue already with the main category and with Jewish fencers, where the attempts failed (due in part to your help). Still, they insist on trying to delete this category. Any help by your weighing in on the issue would be appreciated. Thanks again. --Epeefleche 00:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)--Epeefleche 20:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the answer

Thanks a lot for your help. --(Aytakin) | Talk 21:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can you tell me

whether I am allowed to contact people with regard to a delete review discussion, where they voted on the original vote? Thanks --Epeefleche 20:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Portal's tense

Well, that just proves I should pay a bit more attention now doesn't it? lol, thanks for reverting my mistake. Happy editing! Jmlk17 03:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mwalcoff, I don't want to offend you.

Dear Mwalcoff,

I am sorry if I offended you. However, some of your suggestions were not correct. RS

[edit] re:thanks

Thank you for being a voice of reason on Talk:Atheism. I've been editing Wikipedia for two years, and I have never felt nearly as frustrated as I have felt in this dispute. I find it quite ironic that some of these supposed freethinkers are more fundamentalist and dogmatic than anyone else I've dealt with here. -- Mwalcoff 23:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice note. Yeah, it would be nice if everyone could stay level-headed all the time. My guess is that articles such as Athiesm and Charles Darwin (another I keep an eye on) have a lot of stressed editors because they are constant under a barrage of POV edits from both sides. Hopefully a nice consensus will emerge on the demographics section soon... Cheers, Debivort 02:47, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I've replied to your question...

...on my talk page... --Parzival418 _Hello 06:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I would just like to applaud your defence of reason and NPOV on the atheism article. Its people like you that keep wwikipedia from becoming some left-wing blog. Warfwar3 16:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revert on American football

FYI, there really is such a thing as a one-point safety on a PAT in college football. I doubt it could happen in the NFL because the ball is dead as soon as team B gains possession, but in college football, it can happen. It actually happened recently in a Texas-Texas A&M game ... 2004 I think. Texas's kicker whiffed on the PAT and basically just pushed it forward and it rolled under the line. An A&M lineman recovered the ball and retreated into his own endzone where he was tackled. Texas received one point. --BigΔT 22:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Mossberg conundrum

While my Holocaust-scholar/publicist's hackles rise at queries of the "who'z-a-Jew" sort on the various RDs, I appreciate your reasoned response (that followed my own attempt) today. It fits my WP-inclusionist inclination, much as I suspect the OP got better than s/he deserved. Hang in there! -- Cheers, Deborahjay 01:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A.B.I.

I'd like your opinion on the discussion progress, and in particular the analysis (with third-party help) results. I shall meantime hold off further 'editing' pending your response, though I feel we should have a wider range of outside opinion to draw on. Dominique 22:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: your comments on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

I agree entirely -- I'd rather have a picture of the cover on the article, most likely the current one, however, those seem to keep getting deleted, too. (see the history of the page) I figured I would try the 1978 Cheryl Tiegs picture, as considering it led to some controversy, I felt it may have been topical enough to warrant inclusion. I guess everyone will only be happy when we don't have any pictures in this article, which, to some, defeats the purpose of having the article at all... User:RHolecko 20:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Well whoever has deleted cover pictures didn't give much of a rationale. There is a reluctance to use fair-use magazine covers on stories about people or events, but there shouldn't be much controversy over using a cover picture for an article about the magazine itself. You might want to try putting a cover photo back up and launch a discussion on the talk page if it's deleted again. -- Mwalcoff 23:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vidal Sassoon International Centre for the Study of Antisemitism

The correct word/spelling is not "Centre," but "Center."

[edit] Accidental Deletion of Deaths 2007 (September) Page

Yikes! I accidentally brought a lot of dead people back to life with my big deletion. Thank you for catching the problem edit quickly and fixing it. I'll be more careful in the future... Que-Can 01:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Video game content rating system - Is this what you were looking for, friend? If not, perhaps you could look through here: [1]? Hope this helps! Scarian ^Talk 00:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Any idea what games they were for example? With 2 million articles it might take me a very long time to shift through all of them. Hehe, any extra clues that you remember to narrow it down, buddy? Scarian ^Talk 00:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your note

I couldn't see what the numbers referred to, so I deleted all three edits you made on December 10. Hope that works for you. SlimVirgin ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:15, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your religious sensitivities

First, don't try to speak Spanish if you can't. On the other hand, I don't have the faintest need for your advice about making friends and tolerating religious nonsense. No, I do not tolerate stupidity, if that's what you wanted to hear. Now I'm deleting your comment in my user page and don't expect me to reply back, my time is too valuable to be wasted this way. --Taraborn (talk) 08:13, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ref desk question

Please have a look at my question for you at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#Mistakes_in_Holy_Books_and_Proving_Religions_False. Thanks.--Pharos (talk) 05:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RD: Best religion and science?

I have replied to your "informative" answer in the Miscellaneous reference desk. Please, keep in mind that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so, for the good of the RD, try to cite your sources in those cases (if they do exist). --Taraborn (talk) 19:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice

[2] I like the compromise... good job! Jmlk 1 7 05:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Municipal districts and cadastral areas of Prague

Hiya. I'm a bit mystified here. The revision history of the template indicates just one editor, who was not you (unless it's an alternate account?). Hence my G7 deletion is totally in process and guideline, and I really can't see why you've taken it to DRV. If you want it back just ask - I'd be more than happy to restore it. You may or may not be aware, but DRV guidleines recommend you discuss with the deleting admin before taking it to that page. Let me know - I'm happy to help! Pedro : Chat 21:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Sardanaphalus Created it according to the logs (unless it was created, moved, and selectively deleted?). Any how, if you're happy I'm happy and if you need any help please feel free to ask - sorry I couldn't be more useful this time round. Pedro : Chat 21:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Happy...

60th — with appreciation for your contributions on the Humanities Reference Desk. Considering how tough all this can be and usually is, fellow editors are greatly valued, so please accept this acknowledgement and be encouraged. -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 12:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] God or Gods

Could my suggestion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) reduce your concern? --Kevin Murray (talk) 16:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Loc35.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Loc35.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Adambro (talk) 22:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
