Anarchist

Heya, I've noticed you've been contributing to articles similar to mine, i.e. related to activist/anarchist people. My article on Bruno Masse is threatened of deletion, could you please vote to keep it? You can vote . In solidarity! Lkeryl (talk) 18:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Krajina Towns Again

Hi there. If you remember some time ago there was an issue with the Krajina town catory - http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_July_29#Category:Former_Towns_of_RSK_1991-95. We have yet another problem and another vote as some Croats are not happy with this topic existing. Please add a vote or some input. http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Towns_in_the_Former_RSK Thanks.

Hello Peter. You objected to merging that list ("Towns in the Former RSK") into the main article on the Republic of Serbian Krajina because it would make the latter even longer. Well, I have taken the liberty of copying the list to that main article, to show how it would fit there. I think that it doesn't add too much volume, while at the same time provides a richer context to our readers. :-)

If reliable sources on the subject are found, an article on the administrative subdivisions of the RSK -or its geography in general- could be interesting. However, it would be something entirely different from this simple list of towns. Its potential creation & writting would be entirely independent of this bare list's existence as a separate entry.

I really think that currently this list would be of more help to our readers if placed within the main article on the RSK. Of course, at a future time, it could always be moved to a more specific article, if one is created.

If seeing the above diff changes your mind -or not-, please consider revisiting that discussion to comment on this approach, and so help establish some degree of consensus. :-) Best regards, Ev (talk) 18:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Would you like to comment here? Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 16:08, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Bible and Spade

I noticed that you said this was published by a reliable publisher. That is because just before I AfD'd it, someone added a claim that it was published by Sage. That's wrong, it's published by Associated for Bible Research . dougweller (talk) 19:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

for having the courage to tread in the no-man's-land of Talk:Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II. All parties involved, including myself, have TLDR'ed it nearly to death - which has discouraged badly-needed neutral input. arimareiji (talk) 00:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/SBS Transit Service 579

In this AfD, you added a note saying that the nomination may be defective. I didn't see any problem with the nom, but if you did see one, what was it? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Constitutional laws of Ireland prior to independence

On the category renaming point, I made a new suggestion and would welcome your thoughts. Regards. Redking7 (talk) 22:33, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

BD

Hi. I just saw your message. Two more users have contacted me for the same reason. You can read the discussion in my talk page. As you can see my bot is not substituting Lifetime but just BD. BD is a bad redirect because it's name doesn't show that it uses defaultsort. BIRTH-DEATH-SORT is better. The lack of the information causes many editors to get confused and add defaultsort again. A very recent example is this one but they are more and I sometimes add these examples in Template talk: Lifetime. Moreover, I would like to inform you that there is no consensus for a preferable method, to go and substitute everything with one method against the other is something nonconstructive, it will make no difference what people see on the screen. It's like something runs AWB just to move stubs to the bottom of an article. Finally, I informed about my actions and thoughts in Template talk:Lifetime. I have made comments about everything concerning this template, warned about possible issues. You can participate in there to help us. If you like I can send the subject of BD to Redirects for Discussion (RfD) before continuing (or not) with by bot but I think the reasons I am substituting are clear and are a result of the discussion for Lifetime.

Replacing BD with Lifetime is ok to me. for the moment at least. The important thing right now is to get rid of BD and handle Lifetime later. So, edits for replacing BD are constructive. On the other hand, replacing DEFAULTSORT+the 2 categories with Lifetime has no consensus and I think is nonconstructive. When a new article is created you can use your prefereable method to add categories but please don't replace existing categories with Lifetime. After all, why Misplaced Pages has to render the categories each time someone load the article? Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 19:05, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

In a manner of speaking, BD has already been merged with Lifetime. It is only a redirect to Lifetime. So you may continue to use {{Lifetime}} just not the shortcut BD. Cheers! DOUBLEBLUE (talk) 00:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

That is the second time you have referred to this work as vandalism, which, whatever your point of view on using a template for categories, it most certainly is not. That to me is a personal attack and I think you should rewrite it immediately. DOUBLEBLUE (talk) 00:13, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

A friendly advice

Hi again. I understand that you may be upset with my substitutions. I would like to recommend you to stay cool when the editing gets hot. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 00:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
