[edit] Circumscriptional name
Hello, Matt! Thanks for criticism on this one. I fully agree, the way it's written is rather confusing. Gonna improve this as soon as I have time or as I can figure out a better way of saying it. Cheers. Vae victis 16:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thich Phuoc Hue
Hi. I've removed the use of the religious title as name and in the title because it really doesn't seem to be the way things are done in articles of other religious leaders. I'm afraid I've left it in a bit of mess though without the title anywhere. Do you know all of the forms of address to go in an infobox? Also I think the information that you have put up needs refences. Thanks A Geek Tragedy 17:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Autodesk vault
Don't worry about "jumping the gun" sometimes an AfD is what we need to get a fire under someone to do a rewrite. Thats one of the reasons we do the AfD. Hope you keep contributing. --Pboyd04 22:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] You beat me to the deletion of BBBD&GWHH
I was just about to tag Big Bad Booty Daddy & Great White Hooter Hunter for deletion, but you got it first. Nice grab. Tim Sailor 22:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] convent riots
Are you still working on the Ursuline Convent Riots article? If not, could you removed the "under construction template?--Kerowyn 06:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] LAYYLIAAAAALIALYYAAAALYIAAAAAAAAAA
Was LAYYLIAAAAALIALYYAAAALYIAAAAAAAAAA meant to be funny, or did someone use your computer when you weren't looking? It's certainly a speedy candidate if ever I saw one... in fact it got speedy-deleted even as I typed this. Fourohfour 18:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Actually I didn't add that: I saw it on the New Pages list. I thought I nominated it for speedy; on the other hand I think it got caught up in an edit conflict -- someone marked it nonsense at the same time I did, I guess. It's not listed any more on my contributions. But then it wouldn't be if it was deleted, now would it? -- MatthewDBA 21:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- (I don't put "funny" in here; I take Wikipedia's status as an encyclopedia very seriously, and I wish I knew how my name somehow got attached to the article. Hmph. -- MatthewDBA 21:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

- Given that your other contributions seemed to be of good quality, I'm quite prepared to believe you. Haven't a clue what happened, though. BTW, I think contributions aren't listed once they get deleted; it was literally speedy-deleted between my typing the first part of the sentence above and finishing it off, so it certainly would have been gone by the time you saw my reply.

[edit] Version 1.0 "Release Version Qualifying"
Hi, I'm interested in your feedback on Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Qualifying. It's essentially an idea to use a process similar to WP:FAC to identify and handle articles and lists that would go in a release version. Maurreen 19:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP 1.0
I thought since you are interested in this project you might be interested to see a CD version of en now exists see Wikipedia:Wikipedia-CD/Download & 2006 WP CD Selection. This is being discussed on the 1.0 project pages but progress breeds enthusiasm so I thought I would let you know. --BozMo talk 09:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Libya
Hi,
I've recently added Libya to the list of featured article candidates. Overall the candidature is going well with many of the objections now sorted out. The final concrete objection is with the article's prose. I have been the main contributor to the article and have been looking at it for the previous 9 - 10 months. My eyes no longer see it freshly, so I am not a suitable copy-editor!
To meet the final demand of copy editing, I have been advised to ask different people to edit parts of the article.
I would really love to get this article featured as you can probably see from the page's history! I've worked very hard on it and I see this as possibly being the final hurdle.
You can see the prose objections, mostly raised by Sandy, on the candidature page. If you have the time, please choose a section (Politics, Religion, Culture etc.) and copyedit, perfect, ace it! I would be very grateful with any help I can get.
Thanks a lot,
--Jaw101ie 16:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
