I have tried cleaning up the article, though there are still some ambiguities that remain in the article. It is an article related to South-India, so there might be some elements which I will not be able to grasp. (Remember, India is a land of huge diversities.. ;) ) Regards, --Andy123(talk) 08:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Followup: minor edits, prods, AfDs

Hey, I know this is from a while ago, but I happend to come across what I'd wanted to point out, but had forgotten what page it was on (which is why I posted the less-relevant page instead), in the discussion regarding whether or not a proposed deletion is a minor edit. Template:AfD_in_3_steps — see that one of the notes is Please do not mark the edit as minor. True, this is for AfDs and not prods, but I can't think of any reason why it would be different. --Icarus 01:42, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Jack Lumber reverted one of my edits on this page and explaned it in code: "again, Myrtone, you MUST take the historical backdrop into account. The MoS can't be a source. Albert, "defense" is not really "French spelling."" When I made the edit I couldn't witre the summary because it was too long, so I left a note on this page. Myrtone@Obli.com.au

Ulayiti Actions on International Baccalaureate page

Obli, I thank you for helping me regarding Ulayiti repeatedly censoring my addition of a single link to a reliable source on the IB page. And I thank you for the comments you made there.

Now Ulayiti has gone and again removed the link, stating why on the Discussion page. I responded to that the best I can given my limited knowledge of Wikipedia. And I'd like to add that link back in -- I will try.

But after about now I will no longer be able to police his repetitive attempts to censor information with which he personally disagrees. While I'm not asking you to, if you would keep an eye on the page and perhaps obtain the assistance of other Wikipedians to prevent Ulayiti from violating policy, that would be greatly appreciated. If I recall correctly, I quickly scanned his Talk page and got the impression that he has done this type of thing on other pages with which he personally disagrees as well.

Please do what you can, thank you for your support and for upholding Wikipedia policy, and good luck to you in the future. 71.192.35.245 14:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Pirate Party Artical

In regards to the recent rv and de-rv - I removed the reference to the US Pirate Party due to the fact that URL provided for them - [1] - does not have any content on it that relates to them yet. To take the middle ground in the latest rm to the article I have removed the link and replaced it with a citation needed tag - once there is an official site it can be restored or it might not be such a bad idea to provide a link back to the Swedish Pirate Party's recognition of the US branch.

Obli,

Your diligence is appreciated, but I wasn't testing anything. The page said that speculation was welcome, so I speculated. You didn't like my speculation, so you mercilessly rubbed it out. I hope you feel virtuous, or something.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.124.131.149 (talk • contribs) .

I removed your edit out of pure disappointment and rage!

Be careful, Obli, you'll destroy the carefully cultivated image of WP Eds as humorless.

Have a good 'un buddy.

DYK

Updated DYK query On June 14, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Anophthalmus hitleri, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Anophthalmus

Hi. I'm unaware of any specific references to the biology of the genus, let alone that particular species. However, as they are Trechines, it can safely be stated that the adults and larvae must be predators on smaller cave inhabitants. That's one of the good things about systematics; predictions about unknown features of an organism can be made with some confidence. I'll put that in.

I also found a link, indicating the Darwin referred to the genus in "The Origin of Species" in chapter V:

"Another blind genus (Anophthalmus) offers this remarkable peculiarity, that the species, as Mr. Murray observes, have not as yet been found anywhere except in caves; yet those which inhabit the several caves of Europe and America are distinct; but it is possible that the progenitors of these several species, while they were furnished with eyes, may formerly have ranged over both continents, and then have become extinct, excepting in their present secluded abodes."

This would, however, be apprpriate for the Anophthalmus page, as it refers to the genus as a whole.

352d Maintenance Squadron deletion

Heya Obli, Im a new proto-editor here. I was just working on an article to be wikified (First attempt ever, and the nickname/article combination was sheer fluke), i googled the squadron and noticed it had come straight from a fact sheet. I was going to add some extra information, and add the relevant credits. Anyhow, as i was working on it there came up a message that it had been deleted, the reason of course, being a copyright violation :)

Is there anything i should have done differently there? May i keep working on that article? Or has it now gone to god?

Cheers, Squaddy

--Squad'nLeedah 22:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

352d Sqdn

Thankya. Just one question tho, was it deleted because it was about to be deleted? Or deleted because of my editing it. I was in the process of changing what was there at the time. Id picked the article out of the list, id only added a couple of lines at the time and previewed it. Hadnt saved it at all.

--Squad'nLeedah 22:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Cheers for the help. Now ive got something to do at work tomorrow night. XD

I see you were the admin who deleted this article. You may be interested to know that a related article (the album) provided some sources. I grant you, it looks hoaxy, but in this case you made a mistake. Be careful next time, okay? - Mgm|(talk) 12:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Compobags

Hi you just deleted the article compobags, with the reasoning that it was spam. I was about to stick a prod notice on it, as CSD says: "Advertisements or spam: These may be subject to deletion, but not speedy deletion. There is always a chance to replace them with an NPOV version instead." Would a prod notice not have been technically correct? --Wisden17 13:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your quick answer. I've list the page at AfD, it appears to be nn, and there are already article on plastics etc. clearly just an advert for the product. --Wisden17 13:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!

Your edit to "Sweden"

Hi Obli

I just noticed your edit to Sweden regarding the teaching of Norwegian. Do you remember if these courses include both Norwegian and Danish or just Norwegian? If I remember correctly, both Swedish and Norwegian were technically speaking part of the curriculum in Danish lessons when I went to school, although this was pretty much ignored. Just being curious. Happy editing. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 17:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok. In my own experience, we read a few texts in Norwegian and one or two in Swedish. I guess språkförbistringen is still alive and kicking :) Thanks for your reply. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 17:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The last AC meeting (full log)
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

Your undo to edits on John Bauer

Hi and thanks for your note. You undid my edits to John Bauer. That's not cleaning up. That's removing edits you disagree with or dislike. Rather than change them back and forth, here are the references that justify the edits that I made: John Bauer, Sagotechnaren (Swedish) - Harald Schiller, 1935 which is referenced/quoted in The Artist John Baue And His World by Helen Agrenius, 1996 (English). Let me know if you have further problems with my original edits or require further documentation/ references.

Why Not?

Why can't Tourettes Guy get his own article?

I know that this was "settled" a long time ago. Some Wikipedia administrators took over and *badda-bing, badda-boom* Wikipedia says that Tourettes Guy isn't notable at all.

Yet this website has all sorts of articles on meaningless, worthless CRAP on other Internet stuff. If they're worthy of an article, why not Danny?

He's more notable than any "Numa-Numa". He's been on a commerical on MTV, ben mentioned on "Conan O'Brian" and his website gets over 300,000 visitors a month.

So what? He's not notable at all? —preceding unsigned comment by Turrets Guy (talk • contribs)

A fairly bold speedy deletion...

Ok, this article was factually incorrect, badly titles, and unsourced... but while redirecting would have been a justifiable speedy-close action, deletion really was not. The speedy deletion criteria don't suffer stretching to well, as people will end up going too far. I know we're all about outcomes not process, and the end-result here was an acceptable one, so please don't get me wrong. A "standard" approach of making the closing statement of yours into an argument for deletion would have been a better way to go, or even simply leaving the redirect in place. It's not like deleting it saved any space or anything. - 152.91.9.144 23:29, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
