[edit] Thanks for the pointer to UK:Railways

Hey, many thanks for the pointer to the UK:Railways wiki. I didn't know about it. I'm going to start editing there too. Best, Gwernol 15:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Downy wood violet

Hi - blanked redirect was on purpose - I screwed up - should have createds a redir from Downy YELLOW violet, but was asleep at the keyboard - correct redir I have now done. Not an admin so I can't delete the page.Bridesmill 21:46, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of article about Chamin Correa

Why did you delete this start of an article of a world famous artist? (roger4911)

Also see the comment on your user page, added relevant stub-tags to the current article...

Many thanx for contributing to the Alan Wilson_(musician) article that I just edited.Brian Wilson 14:55, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catastrophe (drama)

Am I seeing this correctly? We never had an article on catastrophe until today?? The closest I've found is denouement... — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-05-31 16:38

[edit] Kyle novak

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. - CobaltBlueTony 20:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh but you did! You placed {{db-attack}} instead of {{subst:db-attack}}. - CobaltBlueTony 20:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

So, then, we need a similar tag for article pages... - CobaltBlueTony 20:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] International Space Agency

You visited our new listing international Space Agency (ISA).

All information is correct.

We are open to any feed back, however, please be aware that at present there is an all out effort by powerful government agencies, and agents, who have spread massive amounts false information and propaganda to unsuspecting people, to cause harm to the ISA organization and its people.

We are legitimate.

Also, be aware that if you do a search on the internet for "International Space Agency" you will find years and years and layers and layers of false information, propaganda, and manufactured lies about the International Space Agency (ISA) Organization, and our Founder, Mr. Rick R. Dobson, Jr. People have even used Mr. Dobson’s name on the internet, pretending they are him, when in fact they were not, and this has caused major problems! Also, these same government agents have been sending out hundreds of emails, looking as if it has come from the International Space Agency (ISA) Organization, when in fact these emails did not come from the ISA Organization, and were intended to cause harm and to deceive people. These are ongoing problems, which the ISA Organization is constantly fighting against.

Just want to set the record straight before any false information or propaganda is taken as fact, and cause problems to unsuspecting people.

Thanks. ISA Global Team. (402) 299-2799 public-affairs@isa-hq.com=

The section header is my fault. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

The above is considered spam... ShakespeareFan00 23:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I agree. But I didn't want to delete it from your page without your permission. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:30, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About contributing to Wikispecies

No. I dont think I have the requisite credentials to contribute there. I also dont want to over-extend myself. Butterflies of India is a personal mission and I extend this to other wildlife of India and remaining Lepidoptera of the world. I occassionally dabble in articles outside this, but very rarely. Thanks for noting my contributions. Regards, AshLin 09:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Godfrey Quigley

Hi, I don't know much about GQ other than he's one of those 'mainstay' character actors from the 70s and 80s. Just thought he deserved a stub at least. Thanks for tidying up the page a bit :-) regards Martyn Smith 22:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Donegal People

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from List of Donegal People, which you proposed for deletion. I am leaving this message here to notify you about it. First of all, the article was previously de-prodded, and PROD tags should not be replaced after being removed. Second, I think this deletion might be controversial; see Talk:List of Donegal People for my rationale. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to it. Instead, feel free to list the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! Mangojuice^talk 15:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen that kind of thing happen a couple of times. I even saw a bot re-prod an article that way once! I think this is a funny kind of situation: the blanking usually happens because the main author agrees with the deletion, but blanking is typically reverted, and it technically removes the PROD tag. I'm going to bring this up on Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion, actually. Cheers! Mangojuice^talk 15:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! -- Where 18:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jubilee

Yes, the Jubilee Line did open in 1979. However the actual railway it now occupies was opened in 1879 which was on the Metropolitan Railway. It then went through a series of changes between companies and then lines on what is now the London Underground (most notably the Bakerloo Line) before finally becoming the Jubilee Line. THEREFORE the railway section opened in 1879. There is a big difference in naming the Jubilee Line opening dates and when that section of railway actually first opened.

[edit] Emmett McAuliffe

You recently hid an image on this page because you were unsure of it's copyright status. I thought I should let you know that the user who originally placed the image has now removed your hide tags, I replaced them but he has since removed them again. Let me know if you need a hand with it. Abcdefghijklm 15:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Hidden the image again, he has not reverted since. Looks like we have solved that one now. Good job. Abcdefghijklm 16:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect tag syntax

Hello. The guideline on redirects specifies that template tags should be "one space after and on the same line as #REDIRECT." Is there some particular reason you have disregarded this and broken hundreds [1] of properly tagged redirects? --Kralizec! (talk) 20:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that makes more sense now. Per my request on the administrators' noticeboard, the admin Tito did a rollback on all 295 of the redirects you attempted to fix in {{R_with_possibilities}}, so they are all fixed now. Thanks for letting me know what happened. --Kralizec! (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I do see that they were in good faith, so you're not in trouble. IIRC, the developers have indicated that the only way the redirect explanations actually work is when they are placed on the same line as the redirect; however, they work even when not there because that's an unenforced rule in the software, subject to change at any moment. About the double redirect listing: that probably is a bug. I'd recommend dropping a note at the technical village pump so more users are aware of it, and the developers notice it. Titoxd^(?!?) 16:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Español or português?

You're not alone! A couple of pointers - Portuguese may contain characters like ã, ç and ê while Spanish doesn't. (a -ão ending on a word, as in "São Paolo" is very Portuguese). Spanish has ñ. Portuguese says "um" "uma" and "do" where Spanish correspondingly has "un" "una" and "de". Cheers. Tonywalton  | Talk 17:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

[edit] Standardised warnings

In future, please use the standard template warnings listed at WP:UTM so you can include links in them, especially {{attack|article}} because once an attack page is deleted, they're no longer listed in a user's contributions and so it's quite hard for the next administrator looking at the same user to figure out what's going on. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  15:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

My bad, you did list the article's name. But you do know that warning templates do exist, right? I've noticed that a lot of your messages seem to be handcrafted. --  Netsnipe  ►  15:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese stations

Thanks for the pointer. I've used that site several times before, especially when trying to figure out the "correct" romanization of station names (and, even have it linked on my user page. Hyphenation and the treatment of long vowels can be really confusing, but the platform signs are a good standard to follow. Thanks again. Neier 23:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Best Animated Short

Hi, your stub article Best Animated Short duplicates the existing article: Academy Award for Animated Short Film. I've therefore nominated it for deletion.Shawn in Montreal 19:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Series 1 redirect question

Do you want to keep the redirect from Series 1 to 'on the buses'? It doesn't make sense to me but may to you. Series 1 can also refer to a computer system so I am creatting a disabiguation page. Lbecque 16:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Series 1

You created the redirect page located at: [2] which links to the TV show On the Buses

I have created a disabiguation page at: [3] and included your reference to the TV show.

Can we delete your redirect page? Is the reference from Series 1 to On the Buses still valid or a mistake that I can delete? Lbecque 18:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Series 1 edit complete

I'm not sure what you meant by 'Ah, That edit, It can go from it and the disambig based on the history,' but here is what I did: Searching 'series 1' now redirects straight to the minicomputer page At the top of that page is a link to the Series 1 (disabiguation) Within the disabiguation page is your original link to the on the buses TV show and your coment about other possible uses.

If that is not what you meant please feel free to make the edits yourself. Thanks, Lbecque 18:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Norwich gallery

Hi! I noticed that, when adding a {{cleanup}} tag to the article Norwich gallery, you used the summary Looks like a straight lift... :-( Indeed, it was a copy/paste from another site detected by our copyright violation bot, and I had deleted the article. When you find such articles, consider using {{copypaste}} instead of {{cleanup}}, which is a more exact tag :-) Cheers! -- ReyBrujo 17:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, then my next suggestion would be to adapt the new guidelines to broader categories. IMO foods are not much different from say toy cars. Products are products and I'd hate to see you working on something that may already exist. Maybe you can solicit more opinions before continuing to work on it.

[edit] Daniel Brandt

Why are you speedying redirects? These redirects redirect to a current article and absolutely should be left alone. Your claim that Daniel Brandt is a "non-existent link" is one you know to be false so please do not repeat this behaviour, SqueakBox 18:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, if you're referring to User:Qxz/Redlinks, you can safely ignore the fact that it's linked from there. I don't update it every time someone creates a page, otherwise I'd be here all day; rather, I run a script every once in a while to remove them all at once. The purpose of the list is mainly to assist me in redirecting article requests to articles that already exist under a slightly different title, which helps to reduce the size of Wikipedia:Requested articles; it also serves as a list of recently created articles that I can check for style, without having to wade through Special:Newpages. Thanks – Qxz 20:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Draft Podcast script

"Robin Utterback, a contemporary artist from Houston, Texas, specialized in abstract works of art.

Born in 1949, Utterback, a graduate of Rice University's bachelor of fine arts program, created several works of art on display in museums in Houston, New York City, and other locations throughout the United States and the world. Utterback created many untitled works bearing pale colors, loose lines, and various Cubist influences.

Several of Utterback's works found display cases in many Houston museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and the Menil Collection. Donahue/Sosinski Art, a gallery in New York City, also displayed several works by Utterback.

Utterback's career ended after a March 29, 2007 fire. At around 6:30 P.M., a fire started at a metal warehouse near the Montrose section in Houston. Rescuers extracted Utterback from the building. Utterback died of his injuries on March 30 at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center."

Why don't you try a podcast on the Battle of Thermopylae. It is likely to have lots of attention and the article looks acceptable. Wandalstouring 14:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi oldwindybear

Our podcaster posted his question on Talk:Battle of Thermopylae#Persian situation prior to battle. Any clues what the situation was or where one might look it up?

Greetings Wandalstouring 10:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Wandalstouring Greetings my friend! Victor Davis Hanson has done an excellent analysis of the battle, and the situation before the Battle, and another good source is the book THE SPARTANS by Paul Cartledge. It is a really wonderful glimpse into the culture that produced the warriors that marched to the Hot Gates. It gets a little detailed, but what he seeks is there. How are you doing, and is there anything I can work on for you? old windy bear 23:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Thermopylae

Planned podcast based on the article once certain issues concerning the article and content issues are resolved.

Take a look at Battle of Artemisium. If I understand it correctly, a possible interpretation for the battle of Thermopylae is that a small unit(the bigger an army the slower it moves)surprisingly held off the large Persian army, while the fleets fought. The idea was to defeat the Persian warships and thus force them to reduce their army because they would no longer be able to supply it sufficiently by sea. Wandalstouring 11:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Please just delete all of the fair use samples that I uploaded. I am sick and tired of jumping through all of the legalistic hoops that keep getting added to the site.

I will no longer be uploading media of any kind to any Wikimedia sites because I am through dealing with all of the bureaucratic malarky that is quashing the spirit of Wikipedia. The lawyers win. I quit.

Just delete them and anything else I have upload that you or the other lawyers think is remotely questionable and stop posting to my talk page. I won't be contesting any of them.
