[edit] Sanitation in Ancient Rome

Thanks for cleaning up the article, I made some more edits and added some cites, I have to get used to writing in Wikis.

No particular interest in ancient plumbing. I saw the request on "the things you can do" list in the History portal, I am just interested in all things ancient so I jumped on it. I do hope to beef up the article a little bit. I don't mind the edits at all, still getting used to wiki editing.

[edit] Doonesbury

No problem. Good to see the work you did. Regards. --Happylobster 12:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Thanks! It started off just pointing out the Chief's schizophrenia, which is such a huge part of his narration, and it ended up a polish. - Dharmabum420 21:23, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VoiceOfOne

Changed my mind - it isn't worth it - Read the discussion on Voice Feminzation and AlexR userpage . I cleaned up most of the flame. Have a great life. You have a beautiful attitude!VoiceOfOne 22:34, 22 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] FemVoice

FRC - Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment is one of the stages of dispute resolution.

If you have access to google use Dispute site:en.wikipedia.org as your search. Alex is trying to say that we are bad users. Check out the Dispute resolution sidebar for an overview of the process. Wikipedia:Negotiation was ignored as well as Wikipedia:Current surveys.

I am so agree with you! I have placed {{Calm talk}} on the top of the Talk:Voice_feminization and Talk:Cisgender to see if it will calm AlexR down. I will be ignoring the AlexR rants for now as every time I have tried to explain anything and use logic, it seems to infuriate him. ... and I almost forgot, did you know that for 'EVERY USER', if you are on their User: or UserTalk: page that you can go to the toolbox and click on "User contributions" to see everything that user has done? Talk to you in June. FemVoice 20:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)


Hey, it has been a long time since I posted. Seems that you have been having a quieter time without the problem. I checked the one article I updated, and it seems that most people find it ok, and have not made major changes to it. Now that everything has quieted down, maybe I will make some more changes. Again, thanks for your support. FemVoice 22:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Let it go

Of course. The reason I did not go to any groups was that I didn't like the fighting. I tried to reason - did not work. I even thanked him for all his effort, and was insulted. That was the last straw. So, for me - I just walk away. My father said if you argue with an idiot, and someone walks by - they just see two idiots arguing.

Besides - good wikipedians don't fight

FemVoice 05:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Someone agreed with me

I have someone that actually agreed with a change and reverted AlexR's rvv of what I did. I am ammazed! If you are curious see cisgender. FemVoice 21:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] I am not 'Voice of One'

I am 'Voice ov One' of is my room-mate, who came away from here crying ov is me.

AlexR made her cry. She said that he was abusive and self centered. I figured she was wrong. So I logged in and created the account FemVoice and looked, researched, found it wrong and changed it. AlexR got mean. I tried to reason with AlexR. I found out I was wrong and she was right.

I think we spend too much time together because like an old couple, we can finish each others thoughts. But no, 'VoiceOfOne' says she will not get back on to this site. She really was the one to write the voice-feminization article. I will try to do the best I can with it and ask questions of her as I go but it would have been done already if AlexR had left her alone.

Take care.

[edit] If you are curious about what I have been up to

Thanks for looking at the merge. Still not 100% done, but it looks better over there. I can't think of anything that I need right now, but I will keep you in mind after I make a few more changes. FemVoice 05:19, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion

Regarding the article MinistryHome, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, etc. that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because it is not an article about a person, group of people, band, club, etc., it is about a website. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:PROD process. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 22:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Jeffcapo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jeffcapo.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 02:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dress Codes

My dress code article is completely different. Mine refers to modern day "Dress Codes" whereas the article have redirected to is more of a cultural explanation as to the nature of peoples dress.

It's completely different

[edit] Writing technologies

I noticed Writing technologies going up, and you helping out a new contributor. I'm a bit concerned that a lot of effort may be going into an article that is an amalgamation of existing articles. Your thoughts? Regards -- Whpq 17:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

  • I'll drop a note in the author's talk page and we can try ro discuss this on the article's talk page. -- Whpq 18:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alison Hinds

I removed your speedy notice here. I think you're under a misapprehension as to what {{db-band}} is good for. Basically, that's for articles on bands that don't say anything whatsoever about the band's importance. In this case, the article says "She is one of the best soca singers in the world", et cetera, which is a claim of importance. WP:MUSIC is another thing; basically, claiming importance is enough to not be speedy deleted, but the group has to actually BE notable for us to keep it in the end, though that requires a more full process like WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Cheers! Mangojuicetalk 03:28, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Datamonitor

Just letting you know that I've listed Datamonitor as AfD Here. I noticed in the history that you had placed a CSD tag which was subsequently deleted. Thanks. Brian 06:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)btball

[edit] Walter Dean Myers

Thanks for your kind note. That article was listed at WP:MEA in the Literary Encyclopedia list, but you must have started it after the list was made. And a good start it was, too! Jacqui 14:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Updating

It is up-to-date and I removed {{update}}. I became aware of this after my edit to the article. Sorry.--Patchouli 02:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

  • If you want, you can bring it back to remind people that the article needs daily update of its figures.--02:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ex-PFC Wintergreen

Yes I can see, but there is proposal to merge it with the Catch -22 main page - see top of Catch-22 page (also Lt/Col Scheisskopf has been suggested for merging).

[edit] Wikify tags

Hi! I'm a member of WikiProject Wikify and I noticed that you've tagged a couple of articles for wikification. However, I've noticed that a couple of the articles you've tagged are actually copyright violations. We're currently fighting a backlog of over 7000 articles, and you can help in a very simple way: before tagging anything for Wikification, run a quick Google check with a few of the words in the article to see if it's actually reposted content. Here are some tips about how to recognize copyvios. Taking a few moments to check an article before tagging it (and I noticed that you tagged both Sri Anandi Ma and Shri Anandi Ma without realizing they were identical copies of each other and that one should be a redirect) will help the Wikification team immensely. Thank you! -- Merope 16:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! I (and the other members of the WPW) appreciate it! -- Merope 16:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catch-22

Hi there - we chatted before on the Catch-22 talk page about sorting the character mess out. I know you have been lookig at the pages I have updated, and as no one else as given an opinion I wondered if you would give yours (I ask only cos I know you are interested).

1. What do you think of the pages I have merged and updated e.g. Orr, Doc Daneeka, and Aarfy, ho do you think they could be improved in general. 2. I want to make an extra page detailing the timeline of the events in the novel - do you think it would work, be a valued page.

Cheers, please leave thoughts on my talk page, --Lethaniol 17:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry they are my own words (or more precisely I have cut and pasted the previous entries and then bulked it out with my own words). I have used a slightly modified template being recommended by Wikiproject Novels Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/CharacterArticleTemplate. I am glad you think I have may have pinched them from off the web - it suggests that they can't completely rubbish - though I admit they still need work. As for merging characters - I have made it clear on the talk page what I am doing - and as no one is complaining I am just getting on with it. I think careful merging will make the characters/storyline/plot much easier to access and understand - and highlight the most important themes. When you do get time, it would be much appreaciated if you could have a careful read through the new entries and correct or bring to attention if this template could be improved.
Many thanks Lethaniol 09:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion clarification

Hi Czolgolz. Could you please clarify what you were intending to revert in your recent reversion on the Multinational force in Iraq page? Your comment says only "rv nonsense", and I suspect it was aimed at the anon editor who made the several contributions prior to mine, but that is not clear. My mod to that page was immediately prior to your reversion, and my edit contained only a single '{fact}' (citation needed) request. Thanks. Mvialt 15:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Muchas gracias

Hey Czolgolz, thanks a lot for supporting me in my recent RfA. It succeeded, and I am very grateful to all of you. If you ever need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, feel free point out any mistakes I make! Thanks again, —Khoikhoi 04:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, at least you made a good choice. ;-) —Khoikhoi 23:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catch-22 and Yossarian

Hi Czolgolz,

It is very lonely in Catch-22 world, and I feel I need someone to comment on the work I have done recently - in particular what do you think about the new Catch-22 article wikiproject novel template - anything that should be removed/added/expanded etc... And also what about the timeline in Yossarian's article - appropriate? Thanks in advance for any comments - hope you are enjoying the mid-terms. Cheers --Lethaniol 22:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Remi Sinato

Hey, I'm sorry if this seems a bit too pushy, but I sincerely feel that the article I started entitled "Remi Sinato" ought not to have been deleted; the deletion, I feel, was a bit hasty, as in its discussion page I made sure to very carefully point out why the article actually does not qualify for speedy deletion. I have saved the page as a text file in case the deletion was a mistake; if there is anything lacking or otherwise incorrect in the article, please let me know so that I can make it a valid contribution to Wikipedia. V-Man737 23:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hm, now I see - someone else deleted it... Sorry about the misdirected whining. ^_^ Did you still want to take a look at the article?

Right then - Should I e-mail it to you (i.e., tell me your addy), or just post the guts of it right here?

[edit] Your incorrect speedy of Gelotology

Just a quick note to let you know that you have incorrectly speedied Gelotology. The article itself was created a mere 4 minutes before your template was added... just to let you know... but keep your eyes open! :) We could all do without several articles on wikipedia... Kareeser|Talk! 02:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

LOL... no kidding. Just to be clear, I'm not being harsh or anything. :o) Kareeser|Talk! 05:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ross Beatty Junior/Senior High School

I have removed the speedy tag that you placed on Ross Beatty Junior/Senior High School and I want to explain why. High Schools, no matter how bad the article, are never deleted through a speedy. This is because there is a sufficient opinion in the community that high schools have a degree of notability. I have cleaned the article up but, I have to say, that there is nothing particularly notable about the place. If you remain concerned then an AfD is the way to go and, because of my involvement, I would abstain. TerriersFan 22:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE your comments on the Wringer Magic Trick

I prodded the article to try and get some attention from the community. It only has two actual edits (both made by you) and then the two templates. Since the verify note has been on there for nearly half a year without any sources being added, I decided to try a new tack. To be honest, I have never heard of this trick, and didn't find much about it in my various illusionist books. However, if it is as widely performed as you claim, it should be a piece of cake to find some sources. Regards, Bobby 14:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for Alaska quote

I'm responding here at your request. Congrats on baby! Yes, I read the book completely, and I actually liked it--it is well written. But after reading it, I had the feeling it had been a bit of a waste of time as it did not really add anything to my life. Reading a book about some kids drinking and carousing and having their first oral sex and porn movie experience is not the most exciting thing in the world to me. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 22:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I just stumbled across this mini-revert war about John Green's book. If this continues I'm going to request arbitration. LegitimateAndEvenCompelling appears to be pushing an agenda -- the fact that his user name is a reference to his agenda makes his denials seem a little flat to me -- and this out of context Green quote is simply the wrong way to deal with the controversies about Looking for Alaska. --JayHenry 16:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, Czolgolz, for putting it in context. Especially on a stub page, it's the right thing to do. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 06:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, rereading this I just recalled your baby. Therefore, I will make an extra effort to still be firm but to use kid gloves with you. Your baby is more important than this stuff! --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 06:53, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you give us a source that he was actually in the army? Czolgolz 01:11, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Informal Mediation

I have accepted the mediation case involving Looking for Alaska, Michael L. Printz Award and John Green (writer). I am contacting all involved parties. If there is someone else who has been involved in the disagreement, please let me know so I can invite them to participate. I am currently reviewing all three pages and their talk pages. Please indicate if you accept my assistance on the case page. Cheers!! Vassyana 13:15, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Mediation has been accepted by all involved editors. The case has been updated. I have posed some questions at the case page. Thanks! Vassyana 09:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
A compromise has been proposed. Please review my suggestion and let us know what you think. Vassyana 07:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

The mediation has been closed. LEAC has said he's leaving the mediation and will be leaving the disputed articles. If you have any further questions, concerns or comments, please contact me on my talk page. Be well!! Vassyana 04:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Civil unions in South Africa

Hi I am a gay attorney in South Africa and lecture in the law of persons at the local university as well. The Supreme Court of Appeal in the Fourie descision, instructed parliament to change the Marriage Act. However, when it came to the crunch, the Marriage Act was left untouched and the Civil Unions Act was passed. The effect of the Civil Unions Act is that parties to a civil union have the same rights as parties entering into a marriage in terms of the Matromonial Property Act. The parties can elect to call the union a marriage or a civil union. Furthermore, in all legislation, except the Marriage Act, where "husband" or "wife" is mentioned, "same sex spouse" is now read into the legislation. I therefore stand by the assertion that South Africa has civil unions, although they are as close as damnit is to swearing, to a marriage. Regards Andrew massyn 19:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response, I was incorrect. If I were you, I'd include what you just told me in the article, as it lists SA as a same sex marriage country. You obviously know much about this, so you'd be a good one to bring the article up to date. Thanks for your response. Czolgolz 20:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I will bring the Act home and do a comprehensive update. Best Wishes. Andrew massyn 12:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] WikiProject Mizzou

Hello, I noticed you've made edits to University of Missouri articles or that you are in some way connected to the University of Missouri. I thought you might want to become a member of the Mizzou WikiProject. We've recently built the project page and started a drive to improve Mizzou related articles. Please take a look to edit an article or add one of your own. Once an article's status has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate!


[edit] Requesting Page Protection

I saw on another article that you asked about how to request that a page be protected. I had the same question, and a nice wikipedian provided me with this: "You can send them either to WP:RFPP or to the appropriate subpage of WP:AN." I've just used the first link, and there are instructions there on how to do it. Hope that helps. croll 22:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
