Today's RFD Nomintions

You nominated three pages for deletion at WP:RFD today. Unfortunately, each of these pages is a disambiguation page and not a redirect. WP:RFD is only for redirects. Disabmig pages are handled via WP:AFD. You may wish to renominate via the AFD process. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 13:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Distinguishing between power and authority

Hi there. I've never before contributed to wikipedia except to add my article on power and authority, which now seems to have been marked for deletion. All i'd like to know is why. I'd be most grateful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blakemore e71 (talk • contribs) 23:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

Dodge Ram incorrect vandalism warnings

MrDolomite, while I appreciate your zeal for protecting Misplaced Pages from vandalism, you had better check your facts before issuing anti-vandalism warnings against other users. As an anonymous contributor, I removed vandalism from the Dodge Ram page on 28 March 2007. Surely, a brief examination of this edit would have revealed that it was an entirely legitimate correction. For some reason, however, you posted the standard level-2 vandalism warning on my user talk page! Also targeted in the warning was IP address 65.10.105.158, whose only edit at that time was also a correction of vandalism. Could it be that you issued these warnings to everyone who made edits on that page around that time, without actually verifying that the edits were indeed malicious? As an apparently active contributor to Misplaced Pages, you owe the rest of the community a higher degree of caution and responsibility than this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.98.214.135 (talk) 22:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

Template talk:Sort

Hi MrDolomite, there is a centralized discussion going on for all issues surrounding sortkeys for wikitables. Maybe you would like to give some input here: Template talk:Sort. --Van helsing 14:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:General of the Armies

• I just took a look at wikisource vs. wikicommons and it seems like a tough call as to where these images belong. One thing that's against commons is where it says "By Type / Images / * Animations · Diagrams · Drawings · Maps (Atlas) · Paintings · Photos · Symbols." A scanned document does not seem to fit in that list. The Misplaced Pages page for Wikisource says "collects and stores in digital format previously published texts" though I don't know if a scanned image qualifies as "digital format." I uploaded the scans to provide background source material for s:Order 31-3 and in case there's ever a question about what the actual orders say. I need to run now but will look into this further as it's unclear to me at the moment why there are two separate sites (wikisource vs. wikicommons).

Edit conflict

Yeah, I got an edit conflict when I tried to upload the file, so I thought I would return the favor. Tbjablin 01:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Navigation Boxes

The reason I changed the navigation boxes back to their former state is because I thought it looked absolutly rediculous the way you had them with the seal on the left. What was wrong with the way they were. I have worked hard to make this site look decent and its always getting screwed up. I really don't get it. -The Mystery Man

Thanx

Major league thanx for the ribbon bar at Robin Olds. Using the tool you linked, I was able to recreate the same for Gabby Gabreski but have not the foggiest idea how to download it or even if I legally can. It's a cool tool and you are commended for the addition.--Buckboard 01:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Kevin C. Kiley

Hey Mr. D.--

Long User page. I'll have to come back to it one day and finish it. Anyway, I noted that you're the one who added the Current Event tag to the Kevin Kiley article (as well you should have, no doubt). However, he's left the Army and while the scandal is still fresh in military minds, it isn't as much in the public's mind anymore. And what is still fresh doesn't include Kiley. It just seems silly to have a Current Event tag on someone who hardly anybody remembers now. Would you agree that it's safe to take down the tag now, or how much longer does it need to stay up and to still be considered current? --ScreaminEagle 22:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

General of the Armies 2

Don't revert my edit again. General of the Army is not the only 5 star rank in the US army, as your edit implied. And I don't think General of the Army is a 5 star rank in all countries, as your edit implied. - Shaheenjim 15:25, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
