[edit] A wha... ????
Its late, too many hours since I slept, and I'm feeling very blonde. What do you mean? Varga Mila 02:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AUC
I merged some of your useful additions to the AUC article with the main body, to make the article less choppy. I couldn't figure out the "AUC in the movies" section, however, and simply deleted it. If you bring it back, could you perhaps clarify it? In any case, thanks for the contributions, and keep at it! Erudy 17:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I've inducted everything of what you noted to me into the AUC page--mentioned New Cairo, lack of tenure track, changed the treatment of the Engineering programs, mentioned the High Board of Universities, and put in an entry on the movie, with your explanatory material...the two governance systems issue I think was expressed, in the first paragraph...
The sections issue I guess is a matter of aesthetic taste, perhaps. I think the article looks better--more professional, more reliable, less amatuerish--when there aren't alot of nearly empty sections. However, I also see the point of making clear where there are gaps of information which other contributors can fill in. I think the problem might be that on an article such as this it may take a long time to enlarge these sections, and in the meantime the credibility of the article suffers. Anyway, I put in some sections to break up what's becoming a larger article
On the La Caixa page, I just translated the stub from spanish; if you want to add more info, go right ahead--I'm no expert on the subject.
The interwiki question: the method I've seen is simply to treat the other language article like any other website. For example The Caixa article in Catalan
Tell me what you think, or just go ahead and make changes:) Erudy 15:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hermetica
I was hoping you could answer my question about one of your edits at Talk:Hermetica#Massive_deletion. Thanks in advance. - Jmabel | Talk 22:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hebrew Sibyl
Apologies! I did not mean to remove anything. Stormbay
[edit] Alexandria
Please read this comment on your recent activities. You are adding nonsense to Wikipedia. Just because something or someone was in Alexandria doesn't mean they are "ancient Egyptian wisdom"; and Lycophron is more purely Greek in culture than Ptolemy, who did use Babylonian -not Egyptian- observations.
Also, please read articles before you edit them; Lycophron didn't write scholia; his texts acquired (Byzantine) scholia.Septentrionalis 21:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I regret that you're having a hard time fitting in to WP. You are correct that POV doesn't mean erroneous;I wasn't using it to mean that, but begging the question.
Was there a coherent body of Ancient Egyptian Wisdom, mediated by the Greeks, and illuminating all later civilization? There is no consensus on that: many have thought so; some have denied it. Therefore we don't assume it in a category name (and in general we avoid fancy category names). Write an article, as Wetman suggested.
When you do, please don't include Greeks like Ptolemy and Lycophron, who had negligible connection with Egyptian culture; and do recognize that what Diogenes Laertius says about Hecataeus, or anyone else, is widely regarded as doubtful.

Please consider the words on the bottom of your edit screen: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, do not submit it. And do read WP:SPAM#Internal_spamming; this is not done. Septentrionalis 20:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- Just use statements actually supported by Reliable secondary sources, that's all I ask. Articles can be moved. Septentrionalis 21:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion of the Cat
Go ahead and have the Kybalion cat deleted. The Kybalion is a very small book, it doesnt need its own category. Zos 04:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Calling programmers
We need coders for the WikiProject Disambigation fixer. We need to make a program to make faster and easier the fixing of links. We will be happy if you could check the project. You can Help! --Neo139 08:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of films with similar themes and release dates AfD
Hi, you've expressed an opinion in the deletion discussion of this article. I've recently suggested a compromise in hopes of improving the article while keeping both sides happy, and would appreciate if you could revisit the issue. Thanks. --Wafulz 18:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
