Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. You might want to note that we follow a policy of neutral point of view here; edits (like those to phrenology) that advocate aren't what we're looking for. You're advised to discuss your edits with others on talk pages, especially when they're so major and controversial. Yours, Meelar 20:22, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

Not a problem. On a warmer note, welcome to Wikipedia--I look forward to seeing you around. Yours, Meelar 20:53, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

Your recent edits to phrenology have been quite helpful, and I now know a lot more about the topic than I used to. Thanks very much, especially for the picture. Best, Meelar 01:02, 15 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Onzeh2.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 16:29, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Onzeh2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Onzeh2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 05:08, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fraktur

I removed that link because it was in German. In retrospect, that wasn't the best of ideas. My bad. --¿ WhyBeNormal ? 19:46, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV Comments in Lead Paragraphs

Hi LHOON. Thanks for the note. I respect (and share) your feelings about Heineken pale lager, however I have again removed the sentence in Heineken because:

  • A) It's POV ("Writing from your local perspective on non-local pages. Excessive assumption of local readership when writing about a topic specific to your locality. And, of course, opinion and bias")
  • B) It was inappropriately placed in the lead paragraphs - where the most vital information is placed.
  • C) We don't need to list negative comments unless there is some point to be made.
  • D) There are no meaningful or interesting statistics to back what you are asserting.
  • E) The article is about the brewery, not the beer. As a brewing company Heineken own Affligem, and overall have the third highest marketshare of beer sales in Belgium.

I did pick up another misplaced beer (rather than brewery) comment in the lead paragraphs and moved that - and I will now change the name of the article to Heineken Brewery. I hope that will make clear the article is about the brewing company and not one of its products. I welcome your comments. Cheers! SilkTork 08:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I always get nervous when there is a difference of opinion as sometimes these things can turn nasty. I like the way you have handled this - getting in touch to let me know what you have done, and then getting in touch again to acknowledge what I have done, even though indicating some disagreement. Some other people have not been so understanding and I tend to be a bit defensive these days! As for individual articles for beer brands: the Wiki beer project is against this. Individual beers are rarely encyclopedic and can be better dealt with in a fuller more encyclopedic article on the brewery or brewery company. Though, as you say, there may well be scope in the future for individual entries if enough interesting information can be gathered on a beer. Cheers! SilkTork 09:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Communities in Antwerp

I realized to late thatI had only a map of Antwerp instead of Flanders. I wanted to change it now. But it seems to be that you were faster. Sorry for this fault and I hope you haven't put too much time in it. Wolvenraider 10:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC) = wolvenraider at the dutch wiki.

Thank you for adding a picture of a tunnel tent to Tents. Murray Langton 15:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pierre-Jean De Smet

You were correct with your rv on Pierre-Jean De Smet. I don't know where my head was on that one. Thanks. Stormbay 22:55, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Double thanks!

Thanks for reading the Quebec English article and correcting the oversight (lack of "in")! CJ Withers 17:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Belgium

Hi,

ik heb momenteel het initiatief genomen voor het nieuwe WikiProject Belgium, neem eens een kijkje en als je geïnteresseerd bent aarzel dan niet om je bij de deelnemers te zetten!

[edit] VITO

Hi, changing the disambiguation page "VITO" into a redirect to the Flemish research institute only is in my opinon not a good idea. The fans of "Vito" the American wrestler, may not take this lightly (I always try to be diplomatic). Pvosta 12:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The VITO page was empty. I will adapt it and redirect it to the Vito page (which I didn't know of) instead. This will leave place for other VITO's or Vito's to be added when needed. LHOON 13:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Railway stations in Belgium

Hi, LHOON.

I hope you don't mind that (on the grounds that bold should be reserved for the introductory statement of the subject) I "unbolded" the NMBS codes that you added to Belgian railway station articles.

I wonder whether you would agree with me that the articles on Delta station, Mérode station, Schuman station, etc. would be better split, with separate articles on the railway and metro stations.

Very glad to see that you are interested in railways -- a little saddened, though, that you chose to call them "railroads" ;) ... -- Picapica 23:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments.
  • OK for unbolding the codes, italic is good enough for me. I'll also make an article on the use and origin of these codes.
  • As for railway/railroad, I will try to use consistent denomination railway in the future.
  • I intend to add a number of extra articles on Belgian stations the next week (which is holiday of course) including some pictures, and splitting the Brussels stations which are also metro stops. The ideal would be to have them all, with appropriate infoboxes for each railway line, as is done for UK stations. This will be a work for the long run however... LHOON 00:06, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nose

Hi, I'm User:Kjoonlee (talk: User talk:Kjoonlee) posting from a friend's house. Personally, I don't think a section on nose shapes and stereotypes belongs in an article on noses in general. I've made my comments at Talk:Nose; I think you should take a look if you're interested. Thank you. 61.72.41.169 02:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vesalius College

Thanks for reverting the strange and utterly ridiculous additions on the Vesalius College page. --KryptonZone 18:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Wikipedia talk:Notability (news)

In the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Murder of Tom ap Rhys Pryce in which you participated, some editors suggested the need for a guideline where a consensus could be reached regarding whether everything which is newsworthy is also encyclopedic. I have created a draft of a proposed guideline Wikipedia talk:Notability (news). Your input is welcome. Thanks. Edison 15:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
