== Dave Messina: The Real Deal ==


<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap">
Dear Godo Dodo,
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em">
You recently deleted the page for the movie Dave Messina: The Real Deal
because you said it was not "notable". In actuality, this movie is very notable. It was a notable independent film and of great pride to the people of New Britain. You see, this city does contribute a lot of art, but never has a movie been conceptualized, filmed, edited, and produced within this city. The premiere was a big deal and was very notable. I saw that on Misplaced Pages there was not much about New Britain except its own article and there was nothing on ] except a stub.
Which I find very odd, since New Britain is an important city in Connecticut's history. So I created that article. You wanted sources so I have put the article back up this time with links at the bottom to its trailer, teaser, and official Myspace page. {{unsigned|Hardhittin'06}}

== Hi Question ==
I noticed you dealing with the first of this pair &mdash; I'm suspicious about a possible connection between the two (possibly socks). Hpsander has "Wikipedians who like being thug" as a category on their page, in addition to the category "Wikipedians who hate being played like a sucker", which was also added to the userpage of Thugman123 by ] (see ]), which also raises the possibility of a connection there. The only three members of that category are Thugman123 (now removed), Frank Anchor, and Hpsander456. Also, Thugman123 and Hpsander456 seem similar in that their nicks end in the sequence of digits (123/456) and both have bizarre editing habits, with each having edits flippantly proclaiming their love of bagels and cake, respectively. I'm not sure what to do to officially raise the possibility of their being socks, and I'm also aware that sockpuppets are allowed so long as they aren't abused, so I don't want to do anything. I just thought it worth maybe keeping an eye on? '']<sup>(], ], ])</sup>'' 13:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

] '''Guideline and policy news'''
Hello and kindest regards, The change as made to the Sten reference because of a transcript by the co-inventor Colonel Shepherd discussing how it was named when he received an Award from the Board of the Royal Commission Awards to inventors. Lord Cohen: Why was it called the Sten? Colonel Shepard It was called the Sten by the then Director General of Artillery. The S' was from my name, the T from Mr. Turpin who was my draughtsman and who did a very large amount of the design and the EN was for England. That is the origin of the name, for which I accept no responsibility. In my country we have say about even if people all believe one thing it doesn't make it true. Father Christmas does spring to mind in this context. If you can find me a contrary quote from either of the inventors I would consider that better evidence than this transcript. I welcome your response on this subject and to continue this dialog. Also any help you may give on how I might better edit this article to reflect the change would be appreciated.

] '''Technical news'''
Just a follow up. I beleive that Ian Hogg is one of the proponents of Enfield name theory of the Sten. As you yourself said " Hogg is a good person, but his books are chuck full of inaccuracies. It appears that he takes all of his information from seconday sources without first checking that they are right. I've noticed that he parrots the opinions and inaccuracies of others" I wholeheartedly agree on this point. I consider that a published interview would be a primary document. Better than any other source I've seen in my study of Stens. I enjoy our dialog and if ever in England i would extend an invitation to visit our collection of firearms we have several stens and on two badly rusted Sten derivatives from the Warsdaw Uprising.

I just received a message from you saying that some of my edits to the Al Roker page were not constructive. I'm not really sure how that could be possible, as they are all true. If it's a matter of them not being sourced, then I apologize and I'll get sources ASAP. However, most of the information on the page is unsourced and, by that logic, should be removed. If not, then the reverts seem awfully arbitrary. I guess I'm just looking for some clarification.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
