What is the problem?

Why have you changed the info in the Battle of Ambos Nogales page. As the writer I find it extremely insulting to find you trying to erase Germanys involvement in the engagement. I live in Southern Arizona and have researched this battle much. I also visit the battlefield every Wednesday morning. So the idea of someone like you, who no doubt knows less about the topic than I, to rewrite my page is outrageous. I do not wish to start some kind of edit war but I will continue to revert the page if you continue to distort historical fact. I have no problem if someone wants to help better the article. You are not helping when you erase relevant and historical fact from the page. The least you could have done was leave some sort of explanation on the discussion page, Although no explanation could justify why you deleted info out of the battle box. You failed to leave such an explanation so I am forced to approach you in this manner. I did not create the said page so it could be vandalized or rewritten. If you wish to discuss why you changed the page, I would be more than happy to read your comments on my discussion page or the discussion page in the Battle of Nogales article. Also note, I will delete the page entirely if my work continues to be raped. Thank you and sorry I have to send such an unpleasant message.

Mctrain

So I see. He's also !voted delete at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Grace Talarico di Capace‎ both as an IP and with the newly created account User:Cancanit. I don't really think there's much the admins can do about problem users with dynamic IPs, though. They might extend the block on the main account, I suppose, but that won't stop him, as you've noticed. Deor (talk) 02:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Can you not comment on my "Remember" section of my talkpage, as they are reminders for me. If you want to comment on them Post a new message as ==Another section==, or place a ===#=== section in my "Remember" section. Thank you, ] 15:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Thorp Academy

All other school are 'Cluster Magnets"- which means it is a magnet school bound by a territorial/ neighborhood designation. Only Thorp Scholastic Academy (elementary) and Lane Tech Prep (high School) are magnet schools that cross over any boundaries for the whole Chicago region. Lane already has a proper article and Thorp warrents one too without flagging. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.141.156.132 (talk) 17:45, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Please don't revert the information on Gypsy. There is a major production going on right now on Broadway, the fourth revival, with Patti LuPone. See Gypsy (musical). -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Collegiate secret societies in North America

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Collegiate secret societies in North America. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Variant texts in Scientology doctrine

I responded to your AfD comment at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Variant texts in Scientology doctrine. The issue is not whether there are "sources", but rather what those sources are. It has yet to be demonstrated that this topic has received significant coverage in WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources. Cirt (talk) 17:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Iyengar

Hi! I wish to inform you that by reverting the article Iyengar to a previous version, you've been unintentionally removing a couple of entries (Anu Haasan and P. Rajagopalachari which I made. I personally feel it is better to have those entries commented out. Some of the people mentioned in the list are particularly important persons and have served as Dewans and Ministers. I'll try to gather more info about them and fix a few of those links. Regards -Ravichandar_{My coffee shop} 02:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Most Great Name

Please read the discussions on the page. The protocals for nominating for the article's deletion were not observed. Nur110 (talk) 04:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith. As I stated, this article has been incorrectly nominated. The placement of the tag is at issue. Please respond to this issue. Thank you. And kindly do not accuse me of what I have not done. I have not changed anything in the article itself. I removed the deletion tag. Nur110 (talk) 04:38, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The Misplaced Pages policy for removing tags for proposed deletion state: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy If you disagree: Any editor who disagrees with a proposed deletion can simply remove the tag.

Nur110 (talk) 04:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith. You will note that I have cited repeatedly here as well as on your talk page that the correct protocol for nominating this article for deletion have not been followed. There is now more than one editor who has pointed this out. The article itself was vandalized by the editor proposing its deletion. The policy for deletion states,

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):

• Copyright infringement
• Patent nonsense or gibberish
• Vandalism
• Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)
• Hoax articles (but not articles describing a notable hoax)
• Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia
• Content forks (unless a merge or redirect is appropriate)
• Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources
• Articles for which all attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
• Articles about newly-coined words or terms (i.e. neologisms) not supported by reliable sources
• Articles whose subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)
• Articles which breach Misplaced Pages's policy on biographies of living persons
• Inflammatory redirects
• Redundant templates
• Categories representing overcategorization
• Images that are unused, obsolete, violate fair-use policy, or are unencyclopedic
• Inappropriate user pages
• Any other use of article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace.

None of these criteria have been met in order for the article to be even placed in the proposal stages for deletion. Please respond to this and the fact that the article was vandalized by the proposer before hurling accusations at others. THank you. Nur110 (talk) 07:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

AFD closures

If you come across a situation such as Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jamel Odom again feel free to close the discussion yourself per the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Non-admin closure. - Icewedge (talk) 00:27, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Secretchiefs3 Sock Drawer

The WP:Articles_for_deletion/Most_Great_Name discussion opened up a sock drawer. I suspected that they were all socks of the author.

As I see you took the time to open up a suspected sockpuppet case I apologize for not bringing this up earlier to you, but I didn't want to give even an appearance of collusion outside of the discussion. My apologies for wasting your time.

I wonder if we can strike out, or even delete, the AFD comments from known socks. It'd clean that up considerably. Cheers, MARussellPESE (talk) 15:16, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

FYI. I wonder why it's taking so long to clear this up. This is so bloody obvious. MARussellPESE (talk) 20:32, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Like I said to KNHaw on his talk page, your level of involvement is up to you though we have several open tasks and monthly colloborations (our current one is to improve the Alternate history article itself for the month of August) in case you are looking for something to do. Also feel free to improve those authors' pages if you like them, thats cool with me, just make sure to tag with our project banner if you join. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 14:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Disappeared people

I've removed again this category, because of the description of the category given here (For any individual born before 1885 whose year of death remains undetermined, please change this category to Category:Year of death unknown.). Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.131.125.120 (talk) 09:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

No, the category Category:Disappeared people can not be used for any person born before 1885 (read the description of the category that I copied and marked bold above). This is a category for people who disappeared and they might be still alive, and Richard of Shrewsbury does not satisfy this criterion. Therefore, it can not be in this category.

ARTICLE ON MY USER PAGE

Question-- if I made a copy of the article "Nyrva Dragonrhyne", and put it on my user page, what's wrong with that? Your comment on the deletion discussion page for this article, you say--

Comment Wikatu appears to be creating a duplicate of the article on their User Page. Edward321 (talk) 23:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

So why is this an issue? Can you please clear this up? Aren't people entitled to put whatever they want on a user page here?

I am trying to ask you a fair question here, not attack you.

Thanks. Witaku (talk) 10:43, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

--- ADDED NOTE: When I read about the sandbox by the way, and what it was for, it said you could use your own user talk page as a "personal sandbox". So I was working on the article on my own page and then transferring the info to the article.

Why are you making this an issue?

Thanks. Witaku (talk) 12:18, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Pixologist rewritten

Hi, I've rewritten pixologist and encourage you to revisit Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pixologist to see if your concerns have been addressed. Please note that a name change to pixel artist is almost assured if the article is kept. Banjeboi 20:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Nanking Massacre

I noticed that you reverted my edit on the Nanking Massacre article. You may actually be right regarding the required citation if I want to call her book discredited. However your revert, reverted a whole lot more than that one detail - you also added a section that I removed due to lack of citations, and you also added the term "infamous" which I removed due to its obviously POV tone.

I guess that was an oversight on your part, as your summary only mentioned the required source for the discredited comment (which after consideration, I would agree with you on)

Unless you disagree with me on the other two items that you reverted (infamous + removed non-cited section) then I would appreciate it if you could go back to the article, and remove those two changes (the removal of discredited seems fine) as I am getting a little too close to 3RR on that article

Lathander

Hello,

Lathander has been nominated for deletion. I have noticed you working to help other D&D deity articles get kept, in the past. If there is anything you can do to improve this article so that it may be kept, please do so.  :) BOZ (talk) 06:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

re: Fenwick High School (Oak Park, Illinois)

Hellooooo Edward,

I was wondering if you could explain why you removed some referenced material, and replaced it in some cases with unreferenced material. In some cases you reverted edits that were made specifically at the request of editors who had done a requested peer review (seen on the Talk Page)? LonelyBeacon (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Misleading edit summary

Hi!

In this edit summary you falsely state that the "deletion" is "not explained". It is both not a deletion and it is explained on the talk page. Perhaps you can explain why you wrote such a misleading edit summary?

ScienceApologist (talk) 23:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I disagree, the edit summary is factually correct, and not at all misleading. Dlabtot (talk) 00:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Adding wiki-links

I appreciated your edit to J. R. Wasson precisely because it was so surprising and unexpected. One of the best things about Misplaced Pages is this curious opportunity for someone like you to perceive a link which the initial contributor did not ... and then it was easy for you to emphasize that unexamined connection.

I had not imagined there would have been any general article about "punitive expeditions," nor would I have considered it at all likely that I would contribute to that kind of non-specific analytical piece. However, the single sentence you've now highlighted is on-point, explicit, clear; and its substance is supported by the language in that archived 1894 New York Times article.

In short, I reckon this minor edit is an illustration of what's best about the collaborative nature of Misplaced Pages teamwork; but without your small change to an article I'd watch-listed, nothing would have happened. --Tenmei (talk) 15:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Guilty Gear

• I'm a bit wary of removing absolutely all the musical connections, as the names of certain characters being based on rock bands is very plain (ie. Chipp Zanuff = Enuff Z'Nuff), but I understand the policy reason to do so. However, I hope you'd reconsider the removals of Faust (Guilty Gear) as his being Dr. Baldhead is implicitly stated on several occasions in the game. JuJube (talk) 21:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Yeah, the music references part has always been a repository for silly nonsense from passers-through. I might give making minor changes a shot... later. JuJube (talk) 21:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Samurai

FYI, I undid you here. The text was a copyvio when the article was originally deleted and that still holds true. Please do not re-add it again. ANy questions, let me know. TravellingCari 22:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

No worries, figured it was likely an honest mistake along the lines of 'Hey, where'd all the text go?" Have a good night. TravellingCari 00:08, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Slashed

Hi, you commented that this article should be deleted as a hoax. Since then I have found a number of sources which strongly suggest it is genuine, and presented them at the AfD. You may want to look at them, and possibly reconsider your vote. the wub "?!" 15:40, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Note:

Creating an article is different to "making up" its contents. My view is that his statement "Yeah I know the article isn't mine :) It was just a figure of speech as I created it!" which was in response to Dawn Bard's comment was simply (in other words): "Yes, I don't own the article, but I'm calling it mine because I created the article from scratch or from a stub, and intend on continuing to work on it". It appears that your statement suggests that he's saying that he made up or fabricated the contents of the article, which is what he has a problem with as that is quite a different meaning (and I don't think that was what he meant). Anyway, that's my view as a third party - it might be worthwhile for both of you to clarify this on the page itself because it simply seems to be a misunderstanding. Good luck! Ncmvocalist (talk) 01:20, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, others have indicated their belief that the content appears to be made up. However, you're saying Bravo confessed to making it up, and it doesn't appear as if he has stated/confessed that he made it up. It's why it's important to comment on content rather than the contributor. Ncmvocalist (talk) 08:33, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

The above is precisely what I mean't, and I find great difficulty in believing that Edward321 genuinely took it out of context. --Bravo Plantation (talk) 09:05, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Recent AfD on Christianity and Judaism

Hi! I see that you were one of the participants in the recent AfD on the article Christianity and Judaism. That AfD recommended (in a snowball result) that the article be merged into Judeo-Christian. However, since the AfD concerns have been raised, most notably

• Per WP:ADJECTIVE and WP:MOSNAME, we use nouns and noun-phrases for article titles, not adjectives. So a general survey on the relationships between Christianity and Judaism (a topic this encyclopedia should certainly cover) should be called Christianity and Judaism, as per the articles Christianity and Islam, Islam and Judaism.
• The reason the article Judeo-Christian exists, as its own hatnote declares, is specifically to survey the history and use of that word-phrase -- which has its own controversy, and its own tale to tell. (See here where I've set things out in a bit more detail.) That story is a good fit for its own article, and will get completely lost if the contents of Christianity and Judaism get inappropriately dumped on top of it.

Having contacted the closing admin, his advice was to open a new discussion at Talk:Christianity and Judaism, advertise the discussion widely, and if a new consensus can be reached in that discussion , then per WP:CCC the new consensus should be followed, rather than the AfD decision, without the need for a DRV or a new AfD.

Concerns about the proposed merge have also been expressed by Slrubenstein (talk · contribs), LisaLiel (talk · contribs) and SkyWriter (talk · contribs).

This post is therefore to let you know that that discussion is underway, at Talk:Christianity and Judaism#Overly speedy deletion, with a view to perhaps setting aside the AfD decision.

Of course, some significant issues were raised in the AfD about the article in its present form, so the best way forward is a question that needs some thought. Please feel welcome to come and participate! Jheald (talk) 07:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Ancient Persian problems

You recently contributed to an AfD discussion on an article about ancient Persian history. I have been reviewing the contributions of the editors who have been involved in these and other related articles, and have found a considerable number of issues - bad writing, original research, lack of sourcing or citations, and POV problems. I have posted the results of my review at User:ChrisO/Ancient Persian problems (it's a work in progress, as I'm still going through the contributions). Please feel free to add to it as you see fit and leave any comments at User talk:ChrisO/Ancient Persian problems. I would be interested in any feedback that you might have. Thanks in advance.

Societyfinalclubs/Barbaro/etc

Thanks for the heads up on my talk page; I'd somehow un-watchlisted the tracking page and didn't know they were still active. If you were just keeping me informed, thank you. If you were asking for help in dealing with them, I'm afraid I won't be able to help for the foreseeable future. You're more than welcome to leave the vandal-tracking page in my user space, or move it to yours, or whatever you think works best, but I'm not going to be able to be involved anymore. Too many real-world time commitments and something had to give, so I'm semi-retiring indefinitely.

Good luck. --barneca (talk) 16:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm really not supposed to be editing this month, but I got sucked back in and I see you're adding possible socks to the subpage again. If I recall correctly, the last Checkuser resulted in 6 month blocks for the IP range; that 6 months is up, which is why (I think) he's returned. I think a Checkuser would be very helpful here. Do you want to put one together? If you don't have the time/inclination, I'll do it, but I'm logging off for the evening soon, and don't know when I'll next be back. --barneca (talk) 02:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind. See Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Societyfinalclubs‎. Please add anything you think necessary and useful. --barneca (talk) 03:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

FYI, I've blocked the three named accounts in the Checkuser case above. The IP seems dynamic, and the IP's haven't been used in a while, so it doesn't make sense to block them; he's moved on by now. The Checkuser says that he's using a new IP range now, and that a rangeblock would cause too much collateral damage. If you notice other socks, report to an admin, or WP:AN, or someplace, referencing the Checkuser request and my subpage. --barneca (talk) 19:50, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi I don't know if your a Administrator or not but I figured you were since you have been warning a certain User 69.180.145.190 about his edits. He continues to add disruptive edits without proper sources and continues to put them up even after being blocked for a week. He just doesn't learn so maybe he could be banned for a month or 2, and if your not an admin im sorry for bothering you. Deus257 (talk) 04:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Rockabilly

Thanks for helping out with the new GypsyBilly section(s). Someone had made recent comments in the Western Swing article stating (pretty much) that Django Reinhart wasn't acknowledged because of racism. The next day, or the same day, "GypsyBilly" added all that info to the Rockabilly article, which is an article I've put lots of time into, and I always hope someone will support the effort to "keep it real". Although I'm invested in many articles now, I try to not get too invested. Thanks again. Steve Pastor (talk) 20:35, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

It's easy enough to prove their connected. Just point it out when you report him. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 22:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Look here I'm tired of you people doing this, First I'm just trying to improve articles and I know that to you guys it seems like vandalism but it isn't, second you're block me for being suspected of have two accounts but that isn't true just because someone has similiar intrests as me doesn't mean it's me. Finally there is something want say what's the point in alphabetizing the categories of character webpages. User:Tylerwade123 —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC).

Dwellers of the Forbidden City

Hi! :) I have nominated the article Dwellers of the Forbidden City for Good Article status, as I feel it has undergone significant improvement from the point at which it was almost deleted. Since you were involved with improving the article, and/or sparing it from deletion, I'm inviting you to help out in any way you can to improve the article so that it may join its fellow modules, Ravenloft and Dragons of Despair as a Misplaced Pages Good Article. :) You may want to place the review page (which may not begin immediately) on your watchlist to keep track of the review process. BOZ (talk) 21:00, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

The article is now up for good article review, so if there is anything at all you can contribute to get the article the rest of the way there, let us know. :) BOZ (talk) 04:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Your CheckUser request

You recently compiled and listed a case at Sockpuppet investigations. A checkuser or clerk has requested you supply one or more diffs to justify the use of the checkuser procedure in the case, in accordance with the procedures listed in the table at the Checkuser criteria and letters page. For an outcome to be achieved, we require that you provide these diffs as soon as possible. This has been implemented to reduce difficulties for checkusers, and is essential for your case to be processed. A link to your recently-created case which has this information missing is here. Thanks for your co-operation. -- lucasbfr 10:07, 5 February 2009 (UTC), SPI clerk.

Jhelum (City)

I will bet that the uncited elements that you removed will be back very shortly. That article appears to be a place of local pride, whcih appears as somewhat spammy unsourced information. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 07:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping an eye on this article, too. It seems that there is a different ethos in that part of the world regarding what is felt there to be notable. It is likely to be a cultural thing. But, with care, we can drag the article into being well referenced and with cited entities within it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Even though i have added referances for what i have added on this page, then why some one delete it again and again? and also i m basically from jhelum city, i live there, and i know what is in city better then any one outsider. Brainlara73 (talk) 12:48am, 15 February 2009. —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC).

can you tell me why did you undo again and again my contribution to the page Jhelum (city), even though i have posted referances for what i have added? Brainlara73 (talk) 14:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused

Perhaps you can unconfuse me. Your edit summaries speak about redlinks. Misplaced Pages welcomes redlinks. Please have a look at Misplaced Pages:Red link for the guideline. Misplaced Pages hates unreferenced stuff, though. When I look at the edits, unless I am missing something big, I see no redlinks that you have reverted, but I do see that you are striving for referenced material. So, in a different way is Brainlara73.

Might it be better if you two worked together to make the article fully referenced fast? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Tale of the shipwrecked sailor

Thanks for that, the article was becoming a chore. The editor whose stuff you removed (and who also added the references) has been given an indefinite block for original research -- he's got a history of 3 1/2 years of bans and blocks for OR and related issues. Now that's happened I shall hopefully continue improving it. dougweller (talk) 17:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Age of Scorpio

Just wanted to let you know that it has a sister article, Septennial cycle, which has no reliable references or apparent notability. Zazaban (talk) 17:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank your for your input

Based on the links you provided, I have declined his unblock request. It is clear he is evading his current block by editing while logged out. If you need any further help with this editor, please let me know. Thank you. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 06:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

User back at it

Hey Im letting you know User:69.180.145.190 is back making those ridiculous original research edits again. Now you and I have had our bouts with this character and I was hoping you could report him the Admins, I would but I still haven't gotten the hang of reporting vandals.

Additional information needed on Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Oncebyten

Hello. Thank you for filing Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Oncebyten. This is an automated notice to inform you that the case is currently missing a code letter, which indicates to checkusers why a check is valid. Please revisit the page and add this. Sincerely, SPCUClerkbot (talk) 15:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

• Don't know if this helps, but the IP in question may have been canvassing at User talk:Rickyrab while the now-closed AfD in question was still in progress... Ranma9617 (talk) 04:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Bengaluru

Are you aware that Bangalore was officically renamed to Bengaluru almost 2 and a half yrs ago? Please STOP reverting Bengaluru to Bangalore everywhere. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

APART from that, the rate in autos in India, varies by kilometre and not by MILE. Please do NOT do such things and say they better, they may be in some case, and most definately are NOT in other cases. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Possible sock

Hmmm, that is suspicious--looks like meatpuppetry at the very least. You should probably file a sock investigation case and request checkuser evidence. In case you have trouble, let me know and I can file it myself. Blueboy96 06:05, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I think the duck test works here. This is quite clearly the same person. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 06:06, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I have also seen the uncanny resemblance. This is more than likely the same person. Good spot. DaisukeVulgar (talk) 22:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

about the source

Yes, I was actually surprised that he actually did not just looked at the Japanese wiki on that info. The Japanese wiki actually listed 15 million instead of 3 with no source, thus not reliable. MythSearcher 16:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

No is wasn't too wordy, I'm having internet problems. Well it's almost impossible to source a character as a protagonist since the meaning is so wide. I just happened to base the meanings on the Naruto character article and it's past discussion. Also I'm not sure on the Wiki standards for character lists, but dividing characters into classes won't do. I think you should try asking a wikipedia expert to see how they'll view it. DragonZero (talk) 00:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello. On the Gundam Seed Character list, they are not supposed to be alphabetized. Also the protagonist and antagonist are suppose to be set in the order they appear in. DragonZero (talk) 05:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I disagree with your organization on the other characters as they should not be associated with the Earth Alliance or ZAFT. Also Kira's friends are not technically part of the Earth Alliance, and they just wish to tag along the Archangel to help find peace. I will undo the edit. My apologies. DragonZero (talk) 05:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping an eye on this article. The edit-warring going on there is too ridiculous to be believed. Say--you use some kind of bot to revert to an older version? (I'm ignorant when it comes to that fancy stuff!) Drmies (talk) 17:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Retraction

Dear Edward, please accept my unreserved apology for suggesting that your revisions of the AIMS article were tantamount to vandalism. I realise in retrospect that my actions were out of a pique and I am mortified and deeply sorry about the entire incident. Ditto for the Paul Boateng article.

Hello there

Just wanted to say Hi, after having passed my recent Request for adminship. How's everything going?

I don't know if you've been around in a while, but I'd like to point out to you the success we've had with the D&D GA-drive so far: Gary Gygax, Wizards of the Coast, Dragons of Despair, Drizzt Do'Urden, Forgotten Realms, Tomb of Horrors, Dwellers of the Forbidden City, White Plume Mountain, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Planescape: Torment, Dragonlance, and Against the Giants, and we plan to hit Dave Arneson and Drow (Dungeons & Dragons) after some work. :)

If you're interested in coming around to check out what we've been up to, you are welcome as always. :) BOZ (talk) 17:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Lady Lovibond

Hi. I have checked out this article and taken off the "hoax" tag you added, because the article itself is not a hoax: the books it cites are real and, as far as I can see in Google Books preview, support what it says, except for the date being a Friday - you're quite right that it wasn't and neither book says that, so I have taken that out and inserted the words "is said to... " to indicate that the article is about stories of wrecks and sightings, rather than about any actual events confirmed by a reliable source. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

In Response

Hm, their edits are un-wiki like, granted there is little I could do in this other than watch the page. Although I will vouch for you if you report him to a admin, since he is relying on a useless source and adding original research and promoting videos he or she obviously made.

Invitation

Hello, I noticed you've made edits to University of the Philippines (UP) and UP–related articles and thought you might want to support our recent proposal to create the WikiProject University of the Philippines. We've recently revamped the proposal and started a drive to push the approval of this project. We have a lot of articles that may be under this project and we would like assistance and support for its approval. Hope we'll have a very positive response. Go Fighting Maroons!

P.S. You can look at the preliminary drafts of the project in here. Thanks!--The Wandering Traveler 04:32, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
