[edit] Freeway/motorway/whatever category

[edit] I finally did it.

Yes, I've been less active than I should be lately, but after a few gentle prods I finally put my two cents into the brewery poll. :) – ClockworkSoul 20:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Giant Beer Bottle - just for fun !

Textbot 09:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Here's a link to a bottle really in my kitchen ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Karlsson_bottle.jpg#filelinks I think you will enjoy. Thanks for your beer work !

[edit] Hi, and some questions.

I've been wondering, is there a way to know what sites need to be addressed? Or rather, is there some sort of outline/list that states problem/incomplete beer sites that need to be updated or expanded? I'd be more than happy to help out, in any way possible, but I feel like a may be stepping on toes.

I am not entirely familiar with the behind the scenes wikipedia, such as this, but I am rather knowledgeable about beer. Specifically the Great Lakes region of craft breweries, and more specifically yet, Wisconsin craft breweries.

Again, I'm more than happy to contribute, but any input/advice/mentoring would be greatly appreciated, and I would love to continue sharing my knowledge with the rest of my fellow beer/wikipedia lovers.

thanks in advance

[edit] The Round Table

So you didn't think much of The Round Table, then? Warning: avoid the place on the 2nd of September. Noisy | Talk 23:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Homelessness article -- part removed ?

Hi Steve. Anonymous contributor User:70.191.174.29 (User_talk:70.191.174.29) just removed your addition "The problem in developed countries" from 8th July 2006 to the article on Homelessness citing it as an "op-ed". I think it was meant to be balanced in your writing, so I will try to re-insert it. I don't know what will happen after that. Perhaps discussion. One avoids edit wars ! Best Wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc 17:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I do remember doing some work on that article when it lacked direction. I hope it has kept both a sense of direction, a worldview and a balance which I put into it. After that, well, it's up to others. The problem with Wiki is the people who mess up decent articles - possibly in good faith, but lacking in insight and knowledge.

[edit] How's things?

Just lookin' in to say Hi, and that I've just copied your onto Wikimedia Commons, which is a central library for all the Wikimedia Foundation projects (eg other language Wikipedias). You can upload stuff directly there, rather than at Wikipedia, if you want to make it generally available.

D'you know, whenever I see your pic, I think, "But I know this guy." I left Medway in 1987, so I doubt it. On the other hand, I was at school (John Fisher) with a bunch of Pereiras, but I'm about 13 years younger than you, so that can't be it either...

People you surely do know (are one of?) however, are The Medway Poets - with their very own article! Wow. User:Tyrenius has been asking me for more material on them, but I'm not in a position to find much. Something you'd like to do, or are they The Enemy?

Congrats on wedding, btw - hope you it is/was a blast. JackyR | Talk 21:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

...And maybe I'll even put this on your Talk page, rather than in your archive... (*sigh*) JackyR | Talk 21:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I will get back to you shortly. You sound like an interesting person. Thanks for the congrats! SilkTork 22:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Bitter-example.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bitter-example.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --KFP (talk | contribs) 10:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

You're right. And at some point someone may - or may not - use another image in the article. Thanks for keping me informed. SilkTork 22:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Faluche

I saw from history of Bitard that you had translated the article from French, so I suppose I can assume that you are a French speaker. I also found the related article Faluche, which looks like it had been machine-translated or translated by someone who is not a native English speaker. I did a lot of cleanup on it in an attempt to fix the English, but I am not a French speaker, so some of it was not clear to me as to how it should be translated. If you have the time and inclination, perhaps you might have a go at it. The article also exists in the French Wikipedia. The article is actually pretty interesting and needs to be cleaned up somewhat. •DanMS 23:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] beer articles

Are you still contributing to wiki beer articles? I was on the receiving end of so much ill-informed abuse when I tried to correct some of the glaring errors they conatin that I´ve given up. Are there any Europeans involved any more?Patto1ro 12:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Now that you are here I might be encouraged to get involved again. If you look at some of the history you might note that I encountered a lot of hostile flack a while ago. I lost interest after that. SilkTork 10:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I've given up because I was spending too much of my valuable time arguing with idiots. Mikebe is continuing the struggle. MAybe you should have a word with him.Patto1ro 10:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
