[edit] Gunslinger Girl revert
Hi, you reverted the article due to broken kanji instead of just fixing it, when there were other changes to the article. Please check for that kind of stuff before reverting, thanks. --Wirbelwind 17:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've already notified the editor who broke the kanji in order for him to reapply his changes, but there is no reason to gp complaining to me. --TheFarix (Talk) 18:06, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I already did it, and instead of reverting it, you could have just copy-pasted the correct kanji from a previous edit and save it like I just did.... --Wirbelwind 18:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GSG Page
Dude, did you forget the page? I made the last 4-5 posts in the discussion. What? Need to take over the article and do everything myself? I think not! Colonel Marksman 05:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- I also have several screenshots (without wording), but I still have no clue how to work with images! One the first things I wanted to do when I got here months ago was upload images!
- Also, when the image loader asked me "what image is this?" and later told me, "this image will be deleted in a week if you don't identify this", I couldn't figure out how to label it. In addition, how do I label it as a "screenshot"? Didn't see any option of the like there. Would you know? (Reply on my talk page please) Colonel Marksman 15:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info! Nobody told me about any tags for pictures. Colonel Marksman 19:10, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] titular
derived from a title; "performed well in the titular (or title) role"; "the titular theme of the book" from princeton.edu
you sure saying titular character isn't correct in terms of Naruto? Thanks for help in clearifying. shadzar|Talk|contribs 02:42, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Sorry about the revert on Death Note
No problem. Honest mistake. I did change the tense and those in one edit, making it harder to revert without changing those back too, and it's not like it's big deal to change the minor wording again. ^^ Nique1287 03:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vmenkov:Miracle of the Moose
Good Day,
Sorry about starting a draft of an article at a wrong URL. I have moved the draft to User:Vmenkov/Miracle of the Moose which I suppose is a reasonable place to keep it until I am ready to move it into the main space. Vmenkov 09:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Main space? Google does not come up with anything from "Vmenkov" and "moose". Is there any relevance to the article? --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 09:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your recent RFCU
You recently compiled and listed a case at requests for checkuser. A checkuser or clerk has requested you supply one or more diffs to justify the use of the checkuser procedure in the case, in accordance with the procedures listed in the table at the top of the requests for checkuser page. For an outcome to be achieved, we require that you provide these diffs as soon as possible. This has been implemented to reduce difficulties for checkusers, and is essential for your case to be processed. A link to your recently-created case which has this information missing is here. Thanks for your co-operation. Daniel.Bryant [ T · C ] 21:20, 10 November 2006 (UTC), checkuser clerk.
[edit] Medical school at Salerno
If the reference is to be believed, this isn't strictly a copyvio, since it would suggest what that site holds is a text dump of an entire book, published in the US in 1911, which would make it public domain. I do still believe that it's not appropriate to dump a chapter out of a book on Wikipedia, though. Chris talk back 18:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- True, I overlooked the 75 (or so) year limitation. What would be used instead? {{db-reason}}? --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 18:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Field Lacrosse
I think you meant that {{db}} for the Field Lacrosse page, not the real Lacrosse page, so, I took it out. Katalaveno 19:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- That is correct. I went back to fix it but you had already gotten there before me. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 19:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- np... just wanted to leave you an explanation... that article dup was bizzare - maybe he just meant to do a redirect?? Katalaveno 19:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not sure, but that's at least the third time he's recreated it. The first one was like 1acr0sse, the second one was Lacr0sse, then the Field Lacrosse. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 20:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, interesting... I didn't know that... so it would appear that it was deliberate shenanigans. Katalaveno 22:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stefan Ackerie
I've added some notes on why Stefan Ackerie is notable to the talk page for that article. I thought I should post here and get your thoughts rather than removing the notability tag myself. What do you think? FiggyBee 09:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- I saw them. I'm searching around, and am about to post a reply on the talk page. Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 09:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removed anime styled "example" photos
Just wondering. What's the point of them. I think they kind of detract from the credibility of the article. Streetsabre 20:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- If you have the edit toolbar shown (it is by default), clicking on the image icon gives you [[Image:Example.jpg]]. It's not that it's significant, it's just the default example code. Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 20:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

- Oh ok. Good. I was hoping they weren't important. Thanks. Streetsabre 22:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yoshimitsu (Tekken)
I removed the Category about the Wikipedians who play Tekken 2, and placed it on other Tekken related webpages where it would belong. Graziano94
[edit] Regarding Moosejaw.com
There is some confusion with the Moosejaw.com article. Could you possibly help out some with the article, since you marked it for CSD? (Oh, and there was an assertion of notability when you did so, but that point isn't really what I wanted to mention.) I'm having a tough time getting through to the author/company owner, and I'm hoping to find a peaceful resolution to this. BigNate37(T) 04:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- I went there and tried to do what I could. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

- Anytime. Thanks for notifying me as well, as of course, I'm human and can err. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:11, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Depleted uranium (new refs)
Please look at the reference format: the original Depleted uranium has raw inline URLs, while Depleted uranium (new refs) has new <ref>...</ref> format references. There are two problems: First, some people think that a banned user created the new version with the expanded references in the new format, but that doesn't seem to be the case; second, some of the expansions are controversial and will need to be folded in. GVWilson 05:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- I see, but could you maybe move it to your user space? --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

- Done GVWilson 05:39, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsigned posts
I did leave a request on the userpage of the individual who asked all those questions. Sorry if it seem to clutter the reference desk, but please note that it takes a certain amount of time and effort to search through the history file and find who posted an anonymous question and then to note on the reference desk whose question it was, and it also serves to let those who answer questions know that an individual may be posting a huge number of random questions just to see editors run in circles answering them, and that editors may choose to ignore questions when someone posts a great many anonymously at the same time. If you know a short cut which more quickly annotates who the anonymous editor was, please let me know. It takes me longer to find who posted the question and to note that on the reference desk than it takes someone to ask a lot of possible frivolous questions and waste the time of those willing to spend their spend their free time answering questions people really need or want answers to. Thanks. Edison 06:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't mean the {{unsigned}} tags, I meant the "Please sign your...." messages. The unsigned tags are nice, and I put them there to whenever I get a chance. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 06:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Your userpage says you program the 8086. That was current decades ago when I studied electrical engineering. Right up there with the PDP-8 computer. And the only way I have found to see who posted anonymously is to look back through the history file. Do you know ashortcut? Regards.Edison 06:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I'm studying electrical now, and we learn with the HC12 and 8086 still. And no, there really isn't a shortcut. However, you should be able to tell from the history text being black instead of grey (commented) when it's a new section heading, which helps in speeding things up. If they don't create a new section though, then you do have to wade through. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 06:41, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I see that someone added a troll warning after I identified the anonymous poster. That was my intent, but I wasn't sure whether a troll warning violated "assume good faith." Like maybe the individual just got very curious all of a sudden about a great many different wierd questions. The PDP-8 was fun to program. You could do assembly language with its 12 bit words and indirect addressing. You could run Fortran (a subset of Fortran 2) on a PDP-8 with 4K of memory. (no tape or hard drive)The source code was prepared on punched paper tape with a Teletype terminal. The compiler tape was fed into the computer followed by the source code, and the computer punched a tape which was fed back in, as best I recall, after you fed in a tape with a linking loader or some such. A single board computer such as the 8086 was amazing after that. Edison 15:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clements Café
Thanks for the help. I'll have the article looking more substantial by the end of the week. Any gallery pictures will be my own and therefore possible to license as GFDL
- Anytime, even though I was looking to see if the claims were real at first. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 21:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Take along Thomas & Friends
Looks good, but the reason I took out the list is because it's all cruft. It seriously needs to be at least trimmed down. It would be better to put an external link to a directory, I think. nyoro~n. --Wooty Woot? contribs 22:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Same could be said of episode lists etc, and a comprehensive list with no links doesn't seem like advertisment to me. And I'm not knowledgeable enough on the matter to trim it down, unfortunately. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 22:43, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deprod Absent Referent
Hi, in accordance with WP:WPPDP, I have removed the {{prod}} tag from [[Absent referent]], which you proposed for deletion, because I feel that this article should not be deleted from Wikipedia. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Bhuston 03:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
