[edit] Privilege
Wikipedia needs to have correct spelling throughout. While there are undoubtedly national differences, I have been unabvle to find the spelling "priviledge" in any dictionary. "Privilege", on the other hand, is to found, among others, in Chambers, my primary source, and at the dictionary.com site. Accordngly, I am working through Wikipedia making this change to spelling.
[edit] Welcome message
Hello Ian, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angela. 16:09, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Bislama Babel template
As the only other Wikipedian with a Bislama template on their user page, I thought I'd let you know that the Babel template for Bislama (bi) got changed without any warning to bis. At first I thought my page was vandalized, but it was a change upstream in the user-bi template. --jonsafari 19:40, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Template:User bi and such
Hey there,
I noticed your note on User:Mistress Selina Kyle's talk page. As per your suggestion (which I find very reasonable), I've listed Template:User bi for moving and allowing the template for Bislama to occupy User bi. Please see Template talk:User bi for discussion. Spread the word around for those who have a userbox for Bislama as well. I would like to see the userboxes follow ISO 639-1 language codes when available, as I'm sure you would as well. Thanks! —BorgHunter (talk) 01:03, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] V7ndotcom Elursrebmem Deletion
Hi, I noticed you voted to on the abovementioned article. Initialy I wanted to keep it, but when I compared it to Nigritude ultramarine and Seraphim proudleduck it seems obvious that all theese articles are repating the same info:
- It's a search contest
- It has begin/end dates
- It has a prize
- It uses a unique phrase that is not used before
I'd like to urge you to change your vote to Redirect to SEO Contest where I have created already made a copy of the article. This way they dont have "their own article" but they are mentioned in the encyclopedia. Seems like a compromise to me. Right now w/ all the Delete, Keep, And Redirect votes it will be hard to reach a compromise.This user has left wikipedia 22:14, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reasonable Man
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_man_on_the_Clapham_omnibus#Merge - All I would like are some concrete examples, and I'll be quiet. ElectricRay 13:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message. I'd quite forgotten about this discussion, and I appreciate your magnanimity. Best, ElectricRay 16:36, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IPA2: an Article for Deletion
Hi, Ringbark! I just logged in and noticed that my article is tagged as AfD. I read the comments and I think it is tagged for personal reasons of the AfD initiator. Would you pls leave your comment? As the author, I do not see myself the right person to give comments. I really appreciate your opinion, regardless of what you decide. Thanx! -DrMoslehi 00:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC+3:30)
[edit] Female bishops

[edit] Efate
Hello Ian, Re: Efate -- We agree on that point. I don't think this has to be put to votes - if only because the presence or absence of accents on Efate (and Emae) is a fact rather than an opinion… Well, at least this is my opinion ;-) As for the technicalities of Redirection, I don't know; maybe we should give it a try; or simply rename "Éfaté" into "Efate" and see what happens. I'll leave this to you, right now it's bedtime on this side of the (wiki)world. (By the way, my first son was also born June 30th) Womtelo 23:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ciaran Gultnieks
A tag has been placed on Ciaran Gultnieks, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Lijnema 14:17, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Commonwealth
I seem to recall adding it and that subsequently it was removed from some countries pages. Then again I might not have gotten round to ever actually doing it I'm not sure. If you want to go right ahead. - Chrism 19:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
