Hi Neutrality. Nice Dodecahedron. Any chance you would mind chatting with a newspaper reporter? If interested, I can be reached at 1-(800)333 7505 ext. 8232. I need to use real names of people involved etc., but if you wouldn't mind chatting about Wikipedia -- or know anyone else who would be interested in talking to me today or tomorrow -- please call. Thanks! --Curtis Krueger

[edit] Supreme Court WikiProject
Thanks for the re-formatting of the WikiProject page. I agreed with most of the edits and like the "to-do" template. I had one problem, though, and I listed it on the Project talk page. Skyler 22:46, Oct 14, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Photo
I neither know nor care. I released it to anyone who wants to use it. Adam 00:03, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] This is 66.69.172.124
You sent me a user talk about me editing humpback whales. I wasn't that guy that changed it to "eroor." I was the one who put the note to the guy to stop. Could u tell me if/what i did wrong? thanks :)
[edit] Admin nomination
Hey mate, thanks for the supporting vote for my nomination for admin! - Ta bu shi da yu 02:43, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Owl image
I've moved the new image from Owl to Brown Fish Owl, let me know if you disagree with the ID. I have some doubts about the image name, sooner or later someone will upload another owl.jpg and overwrite it, but I don't know if it's feasible to change it (I normally add a random number to uploads to avoid this, having got caught out on a dolphin.jpg). jimfbleak 06:13, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Submarines
I noticed you moved Russian submarine Kursk to Kursk (submarine) (how does the article read since I re-wrote it by the way?) but appeared to have left all the other russian/soviet submarines in the other naming convention format. i.e. $NATIONALITY submarine $SUBMARINE_NAME. See e.g. Category:Modern_submarine_disasters - I think your naming convention is better, but we should try to be consistent across articles. Pcb21| Pete 07:01, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- The convention for naming articles on ships is at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships). Gdr 12:25, 2004 Oct 19 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Margin of error
Thanks again, Neutrality, for the edits. I was not aware of the statistical survey page, and I think there are definitely loose connections to the Margin of error topic. However, the margin of error is not generally applicable to statistical surveys, rather it is used for polls that report percentages, which are a subset of statistical surveys. Many surveys are used to obtain scores that may not be reported as percentages, thus the margin of error is not appropriate. Let me know if you have any further questions or comments, but for now I have reverted "statistical survey" to "poll". Thanks again for taking a look at the article!

[edit] Survey
There is a survey regarding a disputed paragraph in the PNAC article that you might be interested in. Kevin Baas | talk 19:10, 2004 Oct 17 (UTC)
[edit] Congratulations
Congratulations on your well-deserved adminship. Thank you, also, for your note about RfA. I greatly appreciate your consideration, and I accept. ffirehorse 20:32, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] SCOTUS WikiProject
Hey! Just want to express my appreciation for your contributions to and enthusiasm about the Project. I thought the Collaboration of the Week idea was great. I have made a few tweaks to it, given our current situation and small amount of contributors to date. The changes (as well as a link to the project subpage I created) are on the talk page. I would love your input on this so that we can get the ball rolling soon.
- Thanks again,

- Wikipedia is knowledge. Knowledge is power.
[edit] Thanks for your offer
For now, at least, I have enough on my to-do list that doesn't involve admin powers. I appreciate your offer, but for the moment I feel no need to essay the RfA process.
My belated congratulations on your success, though! JamesMLane 22:11, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Protected pages
A bit of friendly advice; once you protect a page you should put a notice at the top, add it to Wikipedia:Protected_page. Jayjg 23:05, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Protection of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Talked it out with the guy whose additions provoked the protect on the talk page. Would appreciate a look-in as I reckon the article could be safely de-protected. Thanks in advance. Sockatume 21:35, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Protected pages
Please read the protection policy before protecting any more pages, particularly with regard to Jayjg's advice above about listing the pages you protect on Wikipedia:Protected page. Also, please try to be more accurate with your descriptions in the reason for protection. There was no edit war on Rebels or User:Plato/Welcome, for example. Sorry for my earlier harsh message; I was forgetting you'd only been a sysop for a week, and were still getting to grasps with it, since you should have been one months ago. :) Angela. 00:59, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] India map and Protection
I appreciate that you are dealing with a problematic situation but I believe you should revert Gzornenplatz's changes. He, without any consultation, removed a map which was painstakingly worked out by multiple Wikipedians of various backgrounds over several months. Priority should be given to the map as it was set up by several well-respected Wikipedians with long histories of NPOV writing and the page should be protected in the state it was in before Gzornenplatz's rather brazen edits.--LordSuryaofShropshire 02:34, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
