Default sort.
- Hello. You edited the Gus Grissom article after I did. I returned to that article today to re-read something in Gus's history and discovered you had used the default sort template. I've never seen it before, I think it is way too cool, and most useful. I'd like to start using it on the pages I edit. Are there any rules or restrictions I should know about? Thanks so much!

- Thanks so much! CRKingston 19:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Angie's List.
- Thanks for helping clean up the Angie's List page. I was just wondering though, why you split up the parameters in the citation templates so that each parameter is on a different line? Doesn't seem to matter to the way they function - they seem to work the same either way, so it just seemed odd to me. ~ ONUnicornproblem solving 19:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

!Melissa Keller.
VRTS ticket # 2007021310007845
- I've been trying to compromise with another user for some time now that has been trying to add unverified material. I didn't want any of it in there, so don't come to me now telling me to re-read on verifiability, and to leave better summaries, etc. I've been leaving proper summaries and trying to keep the article verifiable for days now. You e-mailed me and could have had all this explained to you, instead you repay me with a nasty message. This must be a proud day for you and your work as a Wikipedian.

- Unless you have something new to say, please don’t use my talk page as a chatroom to regurgitate lame arguments. Don't harass me through e-mail anymore. Don't ambush me. Read the discussion on the Melissa Keller page and other relevant pages rather than stirring up trouble. I think we're done here. Chicken Wing 20:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Herero and Namaqua genocide.
Hi Jeandré. As someone with an interest in Southern African topics, I'm wondering if you can help keep an eye on the Herero and Namaqua Genocide and Lothar von Trotha articles, which are suffering from persistent edit wars. Another perspective may help :) Greenman 17:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Copyright permission.
- I have noted on the image description page that I had received permission to use the image from the copyright holder. Is there anything else I need to verify on said page? —YeLLeY511 19:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help. One other copyright question... If I have a flyer from a wrestling show (from several years ago), what would I tag it as when uploading the image? Would I be able to use the image being that the flyers were mass distributed in the area? --YeLLeY511 23:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:EPR Chesney 2006 response.
- Did you receive any reply? I have a draft letter ready to send asking for the same thing.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 22:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Sectioning protests against the Iraq War.
I'd appreciate it if you would chime in on Talk:Protests against the Iraq War#Add "Civil war" heading?. I see the need for another break in the date list around the time of the civil war in Iraq, but am trying to get some thoughts about where to break it, plus how to phrase it.

Is John Wyattville Jeffry?
- NO - they were brothers! John was not as well known as his brother Sir Jeffry, but equally architecturally adapt as well as being a better gardiner. Rgds, - Trident13 12:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Michigan Marching Band.
- I understand the purpose of the attribution and biographical material about living people policies, but I'm not sure how to obtain a source to back up a claim that can be verified by 250+ other people, but is not publicly documented. Are there any other source types that might help me out in this situation?
- I suppose the main item that needs to be cited is the fact that Karen auditioned in 2002 since it can be proven that Karen wasn't the drum major for the 2002-2003 season and the MMB elects the Drum Major. I have digital photos of her 2002 audition, but they don't have her name on them and since they're digital I of course can't prove the date except for a Shutterfly shared album with an April 2002 date....
- I might be able to obtain some kind of statement from the MMB administration, but how might I cite that?
- As I've said before, I'm pursuing this because I believe this is a notable event for the MMB and belongs in the article. Any other help you may be able to provide is appreciated. Thanks, Terryfoster 19:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
WP:SELF on OTRS.
- I don't agree with your assessment that the link should be removed to avoid self references. While I usually agree that self references can be a bad thing, many pages have similar links at the top and these links are usually useful to the users in the event the link they clicked was wrong. See AIV, CSD, RR, and these are only the first ones to cross my mind. Would you consider putting the link back? (I'm not a revert war kind of guy ;)) -- lucasbfr 08:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Re : I didn't even know the existence of {{selfref}} and used the infamous {{for}} template. I am going to put the link back using selfref, since outside projects can nullify the selfref template and have the links not showing up. Sorry for the confusion, at first glance I didn't realize there was an existing template (but that makes more than sense). Thanks for the clarification! -- lucasbfr 11:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Misza's whitespace.
- I noticed you just cleaned up talk main page, and you diligently removed the blank lines under all the titles. I used to do this, but the archiving bot (misza) actually puts lines in when it archives. I couldn't be bothered to complain to the bot's master cos it's just a matter of preference. --Monotonehell 15:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- LOL now you see I didn't put that white space in there, The system did when I used the + "add a comment to this discussion" button. They're all conspiring against us I tell's ya! Terrible waste of space that it is. --Monotonehell 16:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Article on Matrixism.
There is an article on a entheogenic new religious movement called Matrixism being created at User:Xoloz/Matrixism. There are numerous sources for this article yet it has because contentious because it deals with the subject of entheogens. Thought you might like to look at it and perhaps contribute. 206.124.144.3 05:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Board election questions for possible Signpost article.
- I'm already planning an interview of all board candidates, to be published in two weeks. You're welcome to help if you like, and I'll let you know more on this in the next few days, but for now, please wait until I can draft some questions of my own. Ral315 » 04:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Hard SF list of authors
I reverted you template addition regarding the authors list. The problem is not how represantative the list is, but that it is a list of authors, or a list at all.
I have already gone over it with some care, and it could be better sourced if necessary, since I was adding and subtracting from the standard books on the subject. There is a deeper problem with definitions of genre here, which won't be settled by adding to or subtracting from , or even sourcing, a list.
But in any case, those discussing the matter are aware of the problem you were trying to raise. But your solution (or the one mentioned on the template) is unlikely to work. --Pleasantville 19:50, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
