[edit] Speedy Deletes
Nice move on catching all the speedy deletes; the more they're caught before they move into the mainstream, the less there'll be. Good job. ^_^ --Mitsukai 17:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- From me too, thanks :) --Golbez 19:46, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
I was amazed how quickly you corrected the link error on the Jacopo da Bologna page. How did you find it?? --DrG 22:45, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
[edit] James Bonham
Thanks for fixing it up. I was going to look over Google, but then suddenly marked it as unimportant because I had to step out for a bit. Thanks again. 10qwerty 23:22, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 198.20.32.254
I don't know what happened to the block (it's possible that someone else had already blocked the address without placing a warning on the page, in which case my block would have expired when the earlier block dis — but I don't think so). Anyway, I've blocked the address for another month. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mongols
Hi there! I dispute this was a copyright violation -- I know how serious they are, and no one with any decency steals another's scholarship. But when you study the two articles, there is obviously no copyright violation! I worked very hard on my article, and while it agrees in principle with some of the conclusions of the cited copyrighted article, it is not a violation! Most of the similarity centers on the structure of the forces -- and there are not many ways to say that they structured in mandibles of ten, et al! Anyway, I wanted to protest the removal of my legitimate article for a violation that was not one... John

Greetings again -- the page cited as the source for violation was originally written by me! I cannot violate my own work, so I again ask that you review the article, and note that it is in no way a violation. It is my own work, cullied from many a source, and rewritten so that it is my original work...JOHN PS THANKS FOR LISTENING!
- The site that John's article supposedly violated ([1]) actually has the explicit copyright notise: This article was derived fully or in part from the article Mongol invasion of Europe on Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. John's article is certainly not a copyvio. →Iñgōlemo← talk 18:01, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
[edit] Insulting edit
You marked Freud Museum for wikification, which I found insulting. Okay, I forgot to put the name in bold. Why couldn't you just do it yourself? There could be more links, but like many people I disapprove of irrelevant wikilinks, if you want some, please add them yourself. CalJW 16:55, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pythagorean Theorum
A reminder: Redirects are quick, easy and cheap. And common misspellings are listed under What do we use redirects for?. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:49, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
- Just so you know, in many American accents, the last "e" sounds more like a "u" sound. That is why many Americans misspell it as theorum. Happy editing. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 17:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sorry for the error
Sorry for my misperception. It doesn't matter that much, because John's article should probably be merged back into Mongol invasion of Europe, anyway. →Iñgōlemo← talk 23:38, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
[edit] New articles
I see you got to me before I was about to revert an article. Very good. • Thorpe • 17:47, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Better dead than red
please see Talk:Operation August Storm#Better dead than red, we are discussing some edits you made to a page called Battle of Manchuria which were later merged into Operation August Storm, information on your source for these additions would be appreciated. --Philip Baird Shearer 16:56, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for editing my articles on the Bankes and for cleaning them up! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LordHarris (talk • contribs).
[edit] Removing tags
Please never remove copyvio tags from articles as you did with St John Of God Pathology. Follow the instructions in the template itself. And don't paste copyrighted work to Wikipedia. Conscious 13:55, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
