[edit] Sea Pictures
- Thank you for expanding Sea Pictures. I love those songs, and Janet Baker's recording.Frigoris 14:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alcoholism
Many thanks for your recent edits on Alcoholism. I had intended to make several of the changes that you did, but I tend to be...easily distracted, and you beat me to it. I'm hoping that one of the more "expert" editors involved will be able to provide the cite that you requested. Thanks again :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 18:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
LOL, we were both working on the same sentence at the same time in the Alcoholism article. Rather than over-write your edit, I added mine to the talkpage. If you have time would you be willing to review and comment? Thanks! --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 21:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I tried to revert the nonsense added Happy Savage, but you beat me to it and I lost another edit conflict :) If you start to run up against the 3RR limit, just let me know and I'll help out. --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 04:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, there. Thanks for cleaning up the citations on this page, also. I do want to note that we split off the discussion about the Disease Theory of Alcoholism to its own page, and need to move all references, cites, and most text relating to that to that page, so much of the stuff you fixed will be moved there. I didn't want you to think that we were deleting stuff that you just worked on. Robert Rapplean 15:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alcoholic beverages
You're welcome :) Good work on the article, by the way - it's really comprehensive, and you seem to have brought it up on your own! Cheers, Tangotango 13:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Presented on behalf of a grateful community, for your enormous contributions in improving the overall quality of so many articles. Thanks! --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 17:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC) |
And a special thanks from me for cleaning up after my own work :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 17:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jill Dando
Just wanted to say thanks for supporting me on the page Jill Dando. I was looking on the help pages to see if there is a specific wikipedia policy regarding the British/English question that could be cited to back up our side of it, but I can't find anything. Any ideas? Abc30 16:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sockpuppets & Mattisse
I saw your request on User talk:Mattisse you should be aware that Matisse has three times been accused of sockpuppetry and in each case the allegations have been upheld. Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Listerin Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mattisse, Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mattisse (2nd) --Salix alba (talk) 19:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ben Best page
By the time I responded to your request to comment, the sockpuppet page had already been archived. --The Transhumanist 05:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AlzheimUr CENTRE
Dear Nunquam, I have introduced a link of a weblog that deals with a Centre for treatment of Alzheimer and it has been removed. Do you know the reasons?
Sincerely, jsmjsm
- "Our weblog emerges from the wish to offer an insight into the process of creating ideas for the AlzheimUr Centre. This centre is the reference for the region of Murcia (Spain) to provide a comprehensive attention to the illness of dementia. This weblog is an added tool to the project. Besides proofing the elaboration of different criteria that guide the development of the work, it tries to encourage interactivity with a system of commentaries. This is done in order to enrich the project with significant suggestions. Interdisciplinary collaboration is believed to be an essential part of the architect’s work. Working sessions every day are based on different programmes to develop specific contents and objectives. At the beginning of the first ten days the approach will be very intuitive. Then it will formulate the brief which, without being completely defined, suggests aims and important interests which the project will be based on." Quoted from the first post of the weblog.
I hope this answers your questions on purpose of the blog, location of the centre, etc. Definitely, the design for an Alzheimer Centre is something much more complex than deciding the colours of the dining plates. It requires the strong collaboration of architects, doctors, patients and families. There is not much information on it and this weblog is recollecting facts on this theme. It is a pity to remove information of Wikipedia under such misunderstandings, so I would appreciate if you reconsider your action or somebody more qualified gives an opinion. Sincerely, jsmjsm User talk:Jsmjsm
- I saw you added the BU reference--however as has been mentioned on the Talk:Alzheimer's disease page, we have tried to limit references to potential treatments to those that have been validated on large populations. Although it is an interesting study, it was studied in a population of only 9 subjects and does not seem to meet the standard. --Chrispounds 13:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good Day to you Sir
Must say sorry about the mistake, must be getting old, sometimes forgetful, I must be more careful in the future. Tell me do you like Opera, becuase I could not but help draw an analogy between your user name and the aria Nessun Dorma I am an insomniac too. --Mr Maxim 21:05, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Since I'm here to say "Thanks" as well I won't bother creating a new header. Good work on those cites in the Disease theory of alcoholism. Your talents and skills are much appreciated :) --Doc Tropics Message in a bottle 18:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trans fat
Hi there, just wanted to say that I agreed with your comment on the talk page, and am hoping you might provide a few suggestions there. -- cmhTC 17:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments a few days ago regarding Trans fat. I think it's ready to be a featured article. If you agree, please consider supporting it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Trans fat. -- cmhTC 01:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Drug Rehabilitation - Amendments
I took you suggestion and posted a to the talk page for the link I wished to add. I have not received a response and have determined the listing 'California Department of Rehabilitation' is geared for individuals with disabilities and not drug rehabilitation. I am removing this listing and adding the link for aboutrecovery.com that contains information geared specifically toward drug rehab that was written and is sponsored by 501.3c non-profit organization.

[edit] Vandalism warning.
Mr Dormio,
I am editing here to inform you that an IP address you cited for vandalism, 139.78.50.124, belongs to a public machine at the library of Oklahoma State University.
I am making no requests either in favor of or against banning the address as I do not know the relevant conditions a ban implies. However, I felt that you should be informed as to the source of the address.
Regards,
Steve D., student. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.78.50.124 (talk) 04:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Resell rights
Many thanks for removing all the spam. Repeat to self, "read thoroughly, comprehend, then act." --Richhoncho 09:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WP:WINE
You've been doing a lot of great editing on wine articles and I wonder if you've considered joining the Wine Project? AgneCheese/Wine 09:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thank you for your kind comments regarding the FASD article. It is nice to have things noticed, and I notice all the work you have done on alcoholism and other topics as well. Take care.MLHarris 13:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tresco
Hi. Thanks for your edits to the Tresco page. I don't know whether you know the Isles of Scilly, but if you do you'll know that describing Tresco as 'exclusive' is not actually hype, it's factually accurate. Without such an adjective the comparison with the other islands becomes fairly meaningless. However, I have changed it to 'upmarket' in an attempt to make it seem less like hype! Regards Dhmellor 16:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. Far from being taken from a brochure, it's a warning! Dhmellor 12:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lou Kenton
I noticed that you recreated this article, which was originally deleted due to Wikipedia's speedy deletion criterion A7, which states that articles about people that don't explain how their subject is notable can be deleted. In order to reduce the chance that the article is deleted again, could you please alter the article to make the notability clearer? --ais523 11:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's usual to warn the creator when putting a speedy-delete tag on or speedily deleting an article; people have been criticised for failure to do so, but I don't think it's a requirement, technically speaking (of course, the spirit of the rules is more important than their letter). I try to always warn an article's creator when requesting its deletion, to give the creator some time to fix the problem; likewise most admins (but presumably not all, or this situation wouldn't have come up) will give the creator some time to fix a problem depending on the reason why deletion was requested. If you want to see the content of the deleted article for help recreating it, you could request that at Deletion Review, but if you know what you wrote and you can explain the notability recreating it is often easier. (I notice there's a {{notability}} tag, a non-deletion cleanup tag, on there at the moment; please read the notability requirements and explain notability, to reduce the chance of the article being deleted again in the future.) Hope that helps! --ais523 12:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A WikiProject you may be interested in...
Hi there! I notice you're from Surrey - please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Surrey, which I started earlier this afternoon. Cheers.--Vox Humana 8' 21:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your message re East Africa Campaign
Thanks for your message, no worries. I thought it was something like that -- I've also seen some odd Wikipedia behaviour, such as articles reverting to previous versions, or changing without anything being shown in 'History'. Rexparry sydney 08:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mary Seacole
Mary Seacole spent much of her life in Kingston, Jamaica but there is no mention in the article about her spending a significant amount of time in Kingston-upon-Thames. To be listed as a notable resident of Kingston-upon-Thames she would have had to have spent many years there, ideally she would have to have been born and/or brought up there. Are you sure about adding her name to the denizens of Surrey? JMcC 19:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
