[edit] Previous Issue

Hey Jake, I was told that you hadn't been able to clear up the original problem. Is this still true, or should I revert to one of the other alternatives? Just let me know and I should be able to take care of this in no time ---Cheers, Grover

[edit] Re: Robert G. Robinson

Thanks for the comment on the Robert G. Robinson article. If you are interested in Medal of Honor recipients, you can quickly find their articles by looking at Category:Medal of Honor recipients. —ERcheck @ 16:20, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey Hall of Fame - Controversies section

I see you've placed a NPOV tag on the section. Would you mind elaborating as to why on the HHOF article's talk page? RGTraynor 22:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pink Floyd

Hiya! I noticed your recent edit to Pink Floyd where you changed "Pink Floyd enjoyed..." to "Pink Floyd enjoy..." ... while I'm new to British conventions on referring to companies, understanding that while Americans would say "Enron enjoys its status as..." versus British "Enron enjoys their status as...", your change confuses me slightly. What is the rationale behind this usage of "enjoy" might I ask? Thank you for your time. ~Kylu (u|t) 00:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pi Kappa Alpha

Glad, you liked the changes. I hope you don't mind that a non-Pike did some changes. I just have a lot of respect for your fraternity. --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 23:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hey are you a Pike?

Um, yes, Funboy ring a bell? Anyway the changes that i made to the motto and symbols reflect the current edition of the G & G that just arrived at the house the other day. JMLK, I was wondering how long it would take you to notice. I am not to happy with them, but the changes are indeed correct. Here they are(I edited it earlier but i guess i wasn't logged in):

Symbols and Motto's

The open Motto of Pi Kappa Alpha has been changed from "Once a Pike Always a Pike" to the current "Once a True Pike Always a True Pike" to reflect the True Pike Initiative passes at the 2004 Convention. The new motto is reflected in the 2007 Edition of the Pi Kappa Alpha Garnet and Gold Pledge Manual and reads: The greatest tradition of Pi Kappa Alpha... "Once a True Pike Always a True Pike". I am not a fan, but it is indeed the current open motto, I believe that this should be reflected but users keep editing my changes.

Also noted in the New Garnet and Gold Pledge Manual is that the White Horse as an open symbol for the fraternity. There are a lot of other symbols so this could be a bit confusing but all the other symbols are listed.. Why not the white horse?

[edit] World Peace Bell

I've added back the expansion tag you removed. Thanks for taking the time to look at the World Peace Bell article, but trust me, the article still needs expanding. Please see the talk page for more on this subject. Thanks. Veracious Rey ◦ talk to V Rey ◦ 13:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U.N. Resolution 1737

Hello there! I saw your comment on that article and was a bit concerned. I agree with you, incidentally; I just don't think it's appropriate to call Iran "evil" and another editor "brainwashed", particularly on a topic that will probably become very controversial. user:Sharz has banned the anti-Zionist editor for vandalism, and it'd be a shame for you to be punished too. -- user:Wozocoxonoy 13:37 26th December 2006 (GMT)

You're right on the money; Islamic totalitarianism with is hated by all Iranians. Those people ruining WP aren't brainwashed. They receive their paychecks from the Islamic Republic.

[edit] Cumberland High School (Carlingford)

Your rationale for deletion for this article is countered by overwhelming precedent on wikipedia's inclusion of high schools. I am removing your speedy deletion tag. Feel free to nominate the article for deletion at WP:AFD, but speedy or prod will be contested by me, so would be a waste of both of our time. As well, I note that you did not use an edit summary on the edit where you tagged this article for speedy deletion, and you marked the edit as minor. Tagging an article for speedy deletion is certainly not a making minor edit. Jerry lavoie 02:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links in articles

Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links). Links should not be made to topics of only tangential relevance to the subject of the article, such as dictionary words and unimportant dates. Links are for assisting the reader in finding information that would be important for understanding the context of the article. They are not for directing the reader to any and all intersections with other topics, and linking to irrelevant topics dilutes the value of more important links. —Centrx→talk • 00:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: NHL stat leaders

Sorry, your edit per se was not vandalism, but I think when you reverted you missed some edits... I was just going back to the last full good edit. I apologize, I should have been more specific. I might even have been wrong, but when I went through the edit summary and saw what you had reverted, there were prior edits that were not rectified. Again, my apologies for insinuating that your edit was vandalism. Anthony Hit me up... 15:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Hey, thanks for the links to the census in the Oregon city articles, but just a quick reminder:

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Katr67 19:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Colorado Avalanche

Thanks for the note, it's always nice to see your work recognized. I was tired of seeing that article like that, specially when comparing it to the New Jersey Devils article. I just wanted to make it better. Cheers --Serte ^{[ Talk · Contrib ]} 00:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
