Thank you for your message. Philippe Baledent is the author of the pictures I upload, and he is my husband, I upload the pictures for him. I think I should just say that "I" am the author of the pictures when I upload them. Please let me know your comments...User:Biosstars 10 August 2006

[edit] New Category

Me again. I just created a category for Wikipedian Aikidoka. Feel a little foolish being the only entry so a quick heads up to the few Aikidoists that have interacted with me on my talk page. If you wish to add yourself to the list of Wikipedian aikidoka, add:

[[Category:Wikipedian aikidoka|{{PAGENAME}}]]

to your user page.Peter Rehse 02:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


Don't worry about the addition. I just sent out the info to a couple of people - I am sure it will fill up on its own. Yes - it is one of the shodokan rubber tantos and I was not holding it. I have just received some even better shots from my sandan. Will put those up eventually but I have to decide where. By the by - I will be removing names in red with no explanation (or putting some explanation in myself) from the List of Aikidoka. Done a bit already and I appreciate the effor you did for Europe. Just a name I feel is not good enough. Cheers.Peter Rehse 07:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: A story of defamation

I certainly could look at the deleted versions of an article - what article is it? -- Francs2000 01:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

There is no deleted edit history either for the article or for its talk page. -- Francs2000 14:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dance capitalization

I want to thank you for all the work you've done in regards to capitalizing dance names. I always thought that many of them were inappropriately capitalized, but I wasn't sure if that was a Wikipedia policy, so I never had the guts to change them myself. Good job! --Cswrye 21:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I must differ with Cswrye here. All of the evidence that I have found on the subject indicates the opposite. Mainly in the case of Lindy Hop, but also other dances that I am familiar with, the name of the dance is almost always capitalized as a proper noun. (In the case of Lindy Hop I have cited several examples on the discussion page, and in a (fairly quick) search I did not come across a counterexample. I have also checked the website of the Arthur Murray franchise of dance studios, and found the names of ballroom and latin dances capitalized there. I have not done an extensive literature search, but I would like to know what the evidence is that these names should not be capitalized. --Michael Richters 23:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The references that I produced to support my argument that the name "Lindy Hop" is a proper noun were all written by people who are very careful and skilled with language. I have only seen the term written as "lindy hop" when the author is otherwise lazy with punctuation, spelling, etc. If you have any evidence for your argument that the term is used mainly as a common noun, it would be nice if you could contribute it to the discussion that is now taking place on WikiProject_Dance. --Michael Richters 04:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey Habj, thought I'd shoot you a note in case you don't have Lindy Hop watchlisted: the dance capitalization issue has RE-opened, but is finally being taken up (hopefully solely) on the Wikiproject Dance page here. From past discussions, I thought you might want to weigh in.--Will.i.am 02:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Japan Collaboration

Hi Habj, and thanks for the question about Japan being collaboration of the week. I think I won't pursue it at this time. The article recently had an edit war and probably needs some time for that to settle down. It was Good Article Collaboration and much good came of that. By the way, the Featured Article candidacy was a long time ago, and I hope we'll make it back there ... some day... but meantime I'm tending to other matters while people duke it out on the Japan article. Best regards, Fg2 07:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Ah, now I see I misunderstood you. It's Housing in Japan that you were asking about. That has been listed as the Japanese Collaboration of the (week? month?) for some time, with sporadic contributions. I continue to contribute in dribs and drabs, and have a photo to scan, but keeping it as the Japanese Collaboration seems fruitless. Let's give another article a chance at it. Again, thanks. Fg2 07:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Voting for the Japan Collaboration is just about dead. We almost eliminated it several months ago because of that. If there's an article you want people to collaborate on, why not just declare it to be a Japan Collaboration and see if it does any good. You might find a few people helping for the first week or so. And maybe it will generate some new interest in the JCOTW. Fg2 21:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Corse

Bonjour

Mon niveau d'anglais ne me permet pas d'écrire directement. Cette chaussure se trouvait devant le dernier refuge avant d'arriver à Conca, sur le GR20. Je ne connais pas son histoire mais je suppose que c'était celle d'un randonneur qui ayant effectué la quasi totalité du GR20, s'est trouvé "laché" par sa chaussure au niveau de ce refuge...

C'est bien moi le photographe de cette photo.

[edit] Icebird images

Hi. Perhaps GFDL was not the appropriate licence. The help guides aren't of much help, so I don't understand the licences that much... sorry. The one from Rigby Heinmann I found in an Atlas. The image from the government I got from The Australian Antarctic Division - The Icebird website. Which licence do you think would be appropriate? Your one true god is David P. A. Hunter, esq.

[edit] Guard Llamas

Habj - thank for your comments. I reviewed your entry on my talk page and noted most of the links you had provided I had already used. However, it is nice to have them in one place instead of digging around for them all the time. I noticed you're tri-lingual - English, French and the third one I could not recognize. Anyway, that's off subject.

I will see what I can do about finding some more information about guard llamas. I have truly enjoyed creating the article. Also, if I have pictures of guard llamas doing their job with a flock of sheep or what have you, can I just upload it? Do I need to virtually sign something that it is sharable to the world? Thanx! Rboesen 12:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My talk page

Hey. I hope you don't take offense at my blunt sense of humour, as seen on my talk page in regards to your complaints. Also, before you complaining you said: "I have a comment to make..." but never got to it. What were you going to say?

Your one true god is David P. A. Hunter, esq. III Let us to it, Pell-Mell If not to heaven, then hand-in-hand to hell Hail OneCone International! 09:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Llama vandal

Howdy - the most recent vandal has made many, many edits. Normally, I can go in and just correct the garbage. But, this is getting to be quite exhausting. How do you revert to a previous version? Thanks, Rboesen 13:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Looks like Anger22 reverted the page. I would still like to know how to perform this action for future use. Rboesen 13:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject_Martial_Arts

You are listed as a participant in this Wikiproject, which appears to have ground to a halt - I'm contacting all participants to try to get things rolling again... hope you can help! -- Medains 08:51, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Habj, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

[edit] Thelma Terry

You mention Thelma Terry as one of your interests. I've updated her article; please give it a look if you have a moment. If you want to leave me a message about the article, please do so either here or on her talk page. I'd appreciate your advice as to how to improve it, if you have the time. Thank you! --Charlene 02:40, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The last AC meeting (full log)
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.
Signed...
Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Red Links

I'm not sweeping them all away but the occaisional clean-up helps keep things neat. Some of them have been there for a long time, some of them refer to articles of slightly different names and basically people usually create articles for other reasons and then go looking for places to link. Call it a dusting which I usually only do if I am doing other edits. With respect to the Terry Dobson article yes Nocquet should have his own article. Peter Rehse 01:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry - I don't mind discussing my editing style at all. I've had others revert some of my red link deletions pretty quick but then those reversions tend to be selective - the important ones. Some people red link everything - very strange.Peter Rehse 01:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MA Userbox

Today, there was a merger of Category:Martial Artist Wikipedians into Category:Wikipedian martial artists. This resulted in a userbox {{User:TonyTheTiger/Userboxes/Martialartist}} being added to the category. This userbox is available to you. TonyTheTiger 20:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Natural Burial related articles AfD nomination

Please review my comments regarding your nomination for deletion for Mike Salisbury. I have not had the chance to reply to all of the articles that have been tagged for deletion but will do so shortly. Theses articles are notable however they are WORKS IN PROCESS and require additional research and referencing. I hope you will support this initiative, although they still need work I believe they make a reasonable contribution to the encyclopaedia.Eulogy4Afriend 15:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Campbell AfD

Please review my comments regarding your nomination for the deletion of Billy Campbell. I have referenced over 20 non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself.

Given that numerous independent authors, scholars, or journalists have decided to give attention to both the emerging trend of Natural Burial in North America as well as Mr. Campbell’s role as a pioneer in the natural burial movement I would suggest that the primary notability criterion to determine whether "the world" has judged this individual and topic to be notable has been met.

Please reconsider your vote Eulogy4Afriend 18:07, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User administration

I'm asking you because I know you're admin at the Swedish Wikipedia. Are you, by any chance, admin here as well? My problem is that user:obg is registered here and I'm not sure if I did it (and forgot the password) or if it's used by somebody else. It must be possible to check when the account was most recently used, and under what IRL name it was registered, or at least what IP address/domain it was used from. Can you do this, or do you know who can? /Olle 07-02-26

Hmmm, well. No, I am not an administrator here - but admin powers could not help you in this matter, I am afraid. To my knowledge there is no way to check if somebody has logged in on a specific account or not. The account has never been edited from, see Special:Contributions/Obg (link in the lefthand panel when you visit the user page) and so there is no IP data to check. enwiki has lots of "empty" accounts like this one, that people create simply so that no one else can take them... if the account is yours and you think you might have entered an email address in your settings, you could request a new password sent to you by email. If that doesn't work, I could possibly check something for you but that will not be done within maybe a week. The easy way of is of course to create a new account here. Putting a link on the user page here to the svwiki page and vice versa tells people who you are.
With Single User Login coming up, accounts on different wikis will be merged. I think (but am not 100% sure I understood it correctly) that with SUL you might be granted the obg account here and on all of Wikimedia Foundation's wikis - unless there is another obg on other projects who have accounts on more wikis / have edited more than you. To have better chance I would suggest you enter an email address in all the accounts you use - make sure to use the same address on all wikis! and make sure to authentice it. I can not promise I've understood the details of how the merging of accounts is going to work, though. // habj 12:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! I tried the "forgot password" thingie, but it seems no mail address was registered. Well, I guess I took the easy way out... ;-) /Olle Borg 13:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Translation

By community-focused I mean the wikis are aimed at large groups of people who are all interested in one topic - not personal wikis, and not corporate wikis. The group of people don't need to be an existing community but they can form one because they all share an interest in Pets/Star Wars/whatever. I've just made a correction to my title on the original. If it's not easily translatable, just use co-founder or joint-founder instead. The assessments I wrote were for 7 and 11 year olds.
