[edit] Hi There

Oi, Dude! I'm not sure I'm addressing the right bloke, but if you're the one who wrote that red label is the highest selling water (I mean Scotch Whiskey, of course) I think it is black label.

Peace be on you and raise a tumbler of Bruiccliaddich (or whatever the hell the correct spelling of the Laddie is)

Hello there Khendon, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page and experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, thanks for starting the David Gemmell article. Cheers! --maveric149

Thanks :-) -- Khendon


Hi there. regarding your comment on Talk:List of time periods -- "I *will* start looking at linked pages before spending ages entering lots of data" -- I think most wikipedians have made that mistake before ... it's a good idea to do a search before creating new pages too. Hope it hasn't put you off. cheers -- Tarquin 09:30 Sep 17, 2002 (UTC)

Hi Khendon!

Thanks for taking a look at the Military science page, you comments really help. Feel like taking a crack at War, I'm gonna need the help! Dobbs 15:12 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)

hmmm...military equipement is not exactly the same as weapon...transport vehicles, barracks and other installations, for example....--AN 12:25 Sep 26, 2002 (UTC)

I know - but the redirect for Military technology and equipment was
already to Weapon, so I was trying to retain consistency. Weapon
has a list that includes things that aren't strictly speaking weapons,
anyway. - Khendon 13:49 Sep 26, 2002 (UTC)

Hi Kendon ! Good work with the tabulation of (anti-)metrication arguments. I had the same idea just yesterday but hesitated actually doing it... you beat me ! --FvdP 12:44 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)

Khendon, please stop being mean to Easter. He is a new user, and a celebrity in his own right.

I would prefer that you discuss any further changes in the talk pages, about Prince's racial identity, rather than reverting Easter's changes. Let's come to a consensus, based on mutual understanding. --Ed Poor

I only actually reverted the change the first time. The other edits were all rephrasings which I hoped would be acceptable. It certainly wasn't my intention to be "mean", and I still don't think I was being, but I accept your point that it could be interpreted as such. - Khendon 08:24 Oct 10, 2002 (UTC)

What's up Khendon! I hope you work on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict page. It needs serious work. I believe your compassion will help correct the page's poor interpretation. Good luck :) - Peacemaker

Thanks for deleting Two16's "comment" on the village pump. If it wasn't so bizarre it would be really really funny. :-) --mav

Hi, not quite sure what you've done with Military units - have you seen the page Military unit? charlieF 16:55 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

On a related note - I see you're interested in lots of the military stuff. I've created a new page at British Army/Structure with links to most of the divisions and brigades. I'm assuming that brigades aren't numbered sequentially because some of them are now defunct - do you know if this is true? Also, there's a shedload of regiments that aren't listed on this page - if you can think of a `pretty' way of displaying them that doesn't turn the page into another list... :) charlieF 11:01 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)

Good stuff :-) I've moved it to Structure of the British Army since page names with slashes are deprecated AIUI - Khendon 11:21 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)

Hmmm, I've got to say that I disagree with the way you shifted the table from Military unit to Structure of the United States Armed Forces. For a start, the table lists Military units, whereas a page on the structure of the US armed forces should describe the various corps, regiments etc, imho (much as Structure of the British Army does). If you think that the table is overly us-centric, could I suggest that you/I/someone edits it for British (and any other country, if wanted) and puts it back in Military units? The reason I created the table in the first place was to provide a quick summary of the relative sizes and structure of an army! charlieF 12:22 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)

I think if we want a table for comparing relative shapes and sizes, it'll have to be simplified considerably. - Khendon

Hi there, you have been listed as "inactive" on Wikipedia:Administrators. Please remove the notice when it is out of date. Cheers, Cyan 01:36, 9 Oct 2003 (UTC)

(sniffle) How sad :-) Hopefully one day I'll be back... -- Khendon 08:15, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)

FYI, you may be interested in the changes made to SA80 where I moved the better history to Assault rifle. -- Fuzheado 01:10, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

The seem to be getting a trifle agitated at Rachelle Waterman! Giano 13:10, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Please see my comment over on Giano's talk page. — DV 13:35, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I invite you to sign in as a participant to the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Jehovah's Witnesses project and add that page to your watchlist. Tom Haws 21:04, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ReFlag

Your right, it should be removed. Most of the sites that exist about ReFlag is about 5-6 mirrors of the same site, and the last thing that was posted was in Sept. 2003. See [1]. Zscout370 18:45, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unprotect United Kingdom

Khendon, please unprotect the UK page. I have decided that I shall not edit on that page again.-Heimdal 15:48, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Please see the discussion at wikipedia:requests for protection first. --Jiang 18:50, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'll unprotect it and keep an eye on it, then --Khendon 19:07, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Strap-on dildo DYK thankies

Just saying thanks for putting un-deleting it from the template... Actually, I'm surprised how few people are complaining about it, so I'd say consensus must be to keep it there.  :) Thanks, Bushytails 17:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC).


[edit] NCW Update

I disagree with your addition of US military to the NCW page. The term extends beyond the US - see for example the extended international membership in the NCOIC (www.ncoic.org). Unless you have thoughts to the contrary, I'd recommend changing it back. JXM 04:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

See Talk:Network-centric warfare for reply--Khendon 07:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In response to your abrasive comment...

...did you not read what I said above it?

A. To prevent duplicate articles from being made by a "bad speller" B. To quickly access links that need fixing because a "bad speller" linked to it. C. Not everybody who uses the English wikipedia is a good speller, or even speaks fluent English.

Suppose somebody searches for "Barbara Streisand" (the correct spelling is actually "Barbra Streisand")... should we be telling them "forget you, you don't know how to spell"?

Also, I periodically run a bot to check all pages linking to misspelling redirects and change the links to point to the correct page, thereby correcting the spelling errors, hence the category for such redirects. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 09:28, Feb. 14, 2006

Abrasive comment? I don't think I was particularly abrasive. But anyway. What if somebody searches for "Barbra Strisand", "Barbara Strisand", "Barbara Strisend"...? How many combinations will you include? --Khendon 17:17, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
