[edit] Battle of Nasiriyah

I just wanted to commend you on a great job with the Battle of Nasiriyah article. It was in such poor shape and given such little attention that at one point I had nom'd it for AfD. You pretty much single-handedly took it from that to (in my opinion) a start class article. Awesome work and thanks so much! NeoFreak 21:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Maybe you should consider changing your name. Dago as you probably already know, is a serious ethnic slur. Such names are not allowed on this site. Superdude99 11:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Superdude. Since I'am proud of my Italian ancestry, i have never intended to offend nobody with my nickname. The term "Dago's Navy" was employed by an American Admiral commenting the supposed poor performance of the Italian Fleet in WWII in his Preface to the memories of British Admiral of the Fleet Andrew Cunningham, so I introduced this phrase as a way of mocking those certainly offensive remarks. I guess I could change it to a more suitable one, like "WopsNavy" if you want, but I have already made a lot of contributions under the former nick. I will make the proper changes as soon as possible. Thanks. Dario 12:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey man, I guess its all about context! Obviously someone who sees your name would/could be offended but seeing how you are Argentinian w Italian ancestry It should not that big of a big deal. Also nice to see someone from agentinia take interest in Irish nationalism! Do you also have Irish ancestry? Superdude99 12:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
