[edit] Great job on King Zog!

Just wanted to say a big thanks for your recent work on the King Zog article. I'd made some tweaks on it but despaired of ever really cleaning it up properly. Your edits preserved the info that was there but made it coherent. Thanks! --Jfruh 13:35, 19 May 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Póvoa de Varzim

  • I'm pleased with your edits in Póvoa de Varzim article. I don't use English as a native language, so that is of great value, thanks. ;) -Pedro 30 June 2005 18:36 (UTC)


[edit] Oliver

Hi,

Thanks for your edits on the Oliver article. This doesn't give us the actual etymology, but I guess eventually somebody will get it.

[edit] Ochus Bochus

Thanks! --Sophroniscus 15:18, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Álvaro de Mendaña de Neira image

Here's an image: Álvaro de Mendaña de Neira. I can't figure out how to get it to show up properly in the article. Tomer TALK 17:44, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lau Islands, Fiji

THANK YOU for your excellent article on Fiji's Lau Islands! Contributors to Fiji-related topics are very thin on the ground, and I am delighted that you have joined us. I hope you will stay and contribute regularly to Fijian topics. David Cannon 00:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Late thanks

Great improvement to Sophonisba. I only researched her to get at the basis of Thomson's Sophonisba, and that only to get at the source of Fielding's satirical "O Huncamunca, Huncamunca O" in The Tragedy of Tragedies, or Tom Thumb the Great (1732). Thomson, looking for a metrical line, had written the immortal "O Sophonisba, Sophonisba O," and Fielding the parody. It's nice to see such a good article come out of such a cursory one.

[edit] Chinchan Islands War

Hello there! I found that your researchs about this war that involved Peru, Chile and Spain are fairly accurate, and let me congratulate you for the quality of the article. I'm Messhermit, a Peruvian Wikipedist, and I would be glad to work with you in this type of articles. I will improve the Chinchan Islands Article in any way that I can. Leave some words in my talk page. Cheers ! Messhermit 17:00, 18 October 2005 (UTC)



[edit] Booth edit inquiry.

Hello,

I noticed that you recently edited the Booth page and removed the entry on one Richard Booth. Could you please tell me why you removed it? I was just curious... Folajimi 17:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)(talk)

Usually I don't do this, but uh...
Does the Jennifer Haigh stub qualify for deletion (like the Richard Booth issue did?) Just curious, is all... Folajimi(talk)




[edit] "Augustus" versus "Adolphus" Washington Greely

Hi Polylerus: Are you able to explain me since when Adolphus W. Greely's name changed to "Augustus"? At Arlington Cemetery you may find his grave - and there his name is Adolphus ([[1]])! Thanks in advance --Ansgar Walk 23:40, 03 April 2006 (CET)

[edit] NIGHT ON EARTH

Hi!

1. thanks for starting the NIGHT ON EARTH article - I love that film, especially the New York episode (which is why I added some info)

2. would you know if a screenplay of that movie exists? I've been looking for it everywhere, but had no success...

[edit] Saints Wikiproject

I noted that you have been contributing to articles about saints. I invite you to join the WikiProject Saints. You can sign up on the page and add the following userbox to your user page.

This user is a member of the Saints WikiProject.


Thanks! --evrik 19:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to WikiProject Saints. I have a few suggestions based on your recent edits.

  • It is not necessary to add your articles to the "use so far" page. (It's there for historical reasons.) You are using the new template, which generates a list automatically.
  • Please read the directions on the use of this box (Template:Infobox Saint). Note that the "Venerated in" box refers to the religious denomination, not the country.
  • When editing, use the "Show preview" button rather than making frequent saves. It will save Wikipedia's memory, and make it easier for others to see your changes.

Happy Editing! --Bwpach 18:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nicolaes Tulp

Thanks for the cleanup, it looks great!! Jane 16:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Bentivoglio painting

Hi, did you originally upload Image:GBentivoglio.JPG? Would you know who painted that? Thanks and cheers, AxelBoldt 22:48, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Saint Serf

Thanks for expanding this ! I made a couple of tweaks and added another ref. Taylor supposes that Serf did indeed meet with Adomnán, which would make him a 7th century figure. I'll see if I can find a copy of the Vita anywhere on the Internet Archive. It must have been on a webpage at one time. Thanks again. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Water tank

Nice job! Thakns for that and for your many contributions to the project. Cheers, -Will Beback 19:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oumpah pah

Hi Polylerus, I read Oumpah pah as a kid and have spent a lot of effort to find any references to it online ( I remembered it as Oompa Pa and got stuck with oompa loompa whenever i did a google search). discovered wiki recently and found the stub on Oumpah. Do you know of any online resources where on can get English Oumpah pah and Lucky Luke comics ? Haphar 07:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:GuitarheroonTV.jpg

Great "screenshot", I love it. 8-) Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nice

nice work at Dream! - --Cyprus2k1 10:07, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quiricus and Julietta

Good work! I started the article because there's a church dedicated to the pair in Tickenham, near where I grew up. As the article says, it's a very rare dedication in the UK. It's very nice to see an article which I started as a brief paragraph expanded into something good. --ajn (talk) 13:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James the Deacon

Hello ! I have done a little article on James the Deacon/Ioacobus Diaconus, the 7th century missionary to Northumbria. I believe he's a saint in some calendars. If you have any information to add, that would be great. All the best ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 11:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GFDL images

Nice stuff... would you mind uploading them a bit bigger, and to commons.wikimedia.org? Once on Commons, any language Wikipedia can use the images. -- Zanimum 16:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Root Beer

The image that you added to the root beer article had once been used but was removed by an editor who noted that the product is actually a brand of Malzbier and had been mislabelled in the commons. I don't know the product myself. The note is on the talk page if you're interested. Thanks. --JGGardiner 18:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ceslaus

What do you mean by "who had recently raised to life the nephew of Cardinal Orsini"? Xx236 08:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Justa and Rufina

Congratulations on this great article. I attended a wedding in Seville yesterday morning and took some pictures of an image representing both saints. Somehow I thought about starting the article but I just relaised you got me beaten on this :o) Regards, --Asteriontalk 18:15, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leticia

Congrats! I was just doing the reseach on a Saint Leticia article! --evrik 19:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Emeterius and Celedonius

Good work. You should post a fact on Template talk:Did you know. --evrik 18:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pederasty

Would you weigh in here: Talk:Pelagius of Cordova --evrik 20:26, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ubald

Hi, in case it’s not on your watchlist, I thought I should warn you that I have just moved a sentence from the article to the talk page. I expect that you can sort the problem (which may well be a typo) instantly. Cheers, —Ian Spackman 23:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

When I said ‘instantly’, I wasn’t expecting that instantly! Cool. —Ian Spackman 23:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know nomination for Gratus of Aosta

Howdy! Whilst browsing through Special:Newpages for potential articles to feature as part of the Did you know? section of the Main Page, I ran across the article Gratus of Aosta, which you created. You can see the proposed blurb at Template talk:Did you know under the date heading corresponding to the creation of the article. I'm adding this notice here for two reasons: Firstly, if you feel the blurb I wrote is inaccurate or misrepresents the subject, feel free to propose a correction below it, or add a note to my talk page. Secondly, barring a large backlog or a significant problem cropping up with regards to the article, you should expect to see it on the Main Page within a week, so if you wish to add some polish to it before getting a sizable influx of eyeballs looking it over, you'll need to do so fairly soon. Regards and good luck, GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 19:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On December 8, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gratus of Aosta, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hello Polylerus, and thanks for the article which GeeJo kindly nominated. Interesting..... and you earnt yourrself the pictured slot on DYK. Happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
