[edit] Mercosur Project
Since we are the only two participants, we have to work to get more people to the project and working on the pages about Mercosur and Mercosur countries. Chico 15:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for joining it. I was beginning to think noone was interested. Let's get to work then :) --Wesborland 22:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Boeing aircraft articles
No problem. I'm sure you were well-intentioned. However, I think that many images of a relatively low-key airline were probably not necessary, particularly when many of the images really were no better than those that were already in place. In fact, one was too low-resolution to use, in my estimation. (I think it was 275 horizontal pixels.) —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 01:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cigarette/Uruguay Edits
Hey, just wanted to say that I liked your edits (especially the citations) to the Cigarette article! Nice job! Nemilar 18:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Was that a real complement or were you just trying to make a sarcastic comment about the name of the country? --Wesborland 18:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Whoops, sorry, Firefox didn't catch that spelling. It was a complement, I assure you. I've fixed the spelling, I didn't mean to offend.
- Also, if you would please take a look at the discussion on the Talk:Cigarette#Smoking Bans page, I would really appreciate your input. Thanks! Nemilar 19:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's ok. I asked because some time ago someone thought it would be funny to go to the Uruguay article and change it to U r gay (I guess he was a big fan of The Simpsons).--Wesborland 21:39, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hangon
You can't add a {{hangon}} tag to an AfD. Please visit the AfD discussion and present your reasoning as to why this film article should be kept. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 17:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
Any particular reason you vandalized my user page? Corto 21:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- You don't have one. ~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 21:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- You, or someone with access to your credentials, did add 29k of nonsense to my talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Corto&oldid=106398489) yesterday (Feb 7). Corto 14:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] My concern about your username (James Hetfield)
Hello, James Hetfield, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
James Hetfield is actually the name of the Metallica frontman as you likely know, though using the name of a well known person isn't deemed appropriate unless you are that famous person.
I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.
You have several options freely available to you:
- If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
- If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
- If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.
Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism (WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- LuciferMorgan 09:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi LuciferMorgan, I didn't know you could actually change your username after you registered. In fact, this is my old account (which I believe now redirects to my new one). My first choice was just Hetfield, but that username is already taken. If I can change my username, then I guess I should delete this account and keep editing with my old one. Any suggestions for a new username? ~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 21:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry for not getting back to you sooner... no I don't have any. All I can say is that Wesborland also may be borderline as it's the name of the ex Limp Bizkit guitarist, unless you are that person, the same as the James Hetfield problem. So my advice is to make sure you don't adopt the name of a famous person (unless you're that famous person) - you can keep editing with the old one if you wish and request a username change though. LuciferMorgan 18:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I've blocked Wesborland as that's also the name of a famous person. I'm proposing to block James Hetfield shortly. Please think of a new user name which isn't the name of somebody famous :) --kingboyk 20:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mercosur
Yeah I am still interested, I am not having a lot of free time to edit in wikipedia tough... I'll try to get people from the mercosul's countries projects to enter the mercosur projectChico 21:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Smoking bans by country
Smoking bans by country... South Australia is a country now? How about
==Australia== ===ACT=== ===New South Wales=== ===NT=== ===Qld===
etc. Garrie 04:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- The whole article was originally part of the cigarette article. I hadn't noticed that. As a matter of fact, I don't know anything about Australia, so if it's wrong feel free to edit it :) --~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 17:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Aviation Newsletter delivery
The March 2007 issue of the Aviation WikiProject newsletter has been published.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sex and intelligence
Rather than calling for deletion I think the best thing to do is add more information to this article to help improve it. I tried to do this, even nominating this article for the WP:GS monthly collaboration and adding graphs that show the impact of stereotypes. But I feel I'm working alone in improving this article. Will you join me in this project? futurebird 22:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just thought the topic would be better as part of a larger subject. I'll join the project and give you a hand ;) --~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 22:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] DST map now looks bad in my browser
Your recent change to Daylight saving time causes the page to look fairly ugly in my browser. I created a discussion topic "Map should not collide with table of contents" for this; could you please follow up there? Thanks. Eubulides 19:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nice job on Boeing Infobox
That looks great...do you intend to do one with Boeing's military aircraft? Akradecki 01:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm not really into military aviation, but I could give it a try. --~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 01:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's just that we try to have a consistent look across the Aircraft project, and yours is a break from the standard. That in itself isn't a bad thing, if it is consistently used with all Boeing aircraft. Akradecki 02:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
