[edit] Kevin Wm. Wildes
I nominated the article you created, Kevin Wm. Wildes for deletion. PIease share your opinions here Eclectek C T 16:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Please don't take personal offense. Everybody having their own opinions and going through civil discourse is what makes wikipedia great. I think that the article topic doesn't meet the standards of wikipedia. I have no problem with the article staying on wikipedia if the majority of users agree. I'm just working to make wikipedia great. Eclectek C T 20:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alanya
Hello. I have been noticing that you have been doing good work on that article.. Good job! I think it is very close to being in a position where it can pass GA. If you need any extra help, I will be glad to help. Unfortunately there aren't enough editors who are on WikiProject Turkey, so many articles are extremely underdeveloped. Cheers!

[edit] Note
the *s refer to "işaretli olanlar daha sonra Vali olmuşlardır." which I am having trouble translating. Can a proficient help?--Patrickneil 00:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Means "those marked later became governors".. I am sorry that I haven't been able to help out with Alanya, hopefully I will try to do so later this weekend. Cheers! Baristarim 23:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cathedral of Jesus' Heart
Second time you're putting link to Coat of arms of Sarajevo (city of Sarajevo is part of Sarajevo Canton. But the design above the door to the Cathedral is part of Coat of arms of Sarajevo Canton which you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sarajevskizastava.png and there is no wikipedia article for this coat of arms.

[edit] Dates
I've always believed that yyyy-mm-dd is the only acceptable format for dates on here, but not many people tend to agree with me. Finally I've found someone who does :) I say we start a movement to make yyyy-mm-dd the official Wikipedia policy for representing dates (it isn't already, is it?), and try to get enough people involved that it's actually enforced!
Nice work. --Ecksemmess 04:17, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop changing date formats. Per WP:DATES both are correct here on wiki. --Jklamo 15:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

- There is logic behind this. I understand all sorts of formats are acceptable, but the yyyy-mm-dd is the most useful because the output can be set per user preference to display with more flexibility than the "day month" format, since it includes the year into formatting. Second, having translated articles to and from English, that the date format works in all languages, when "day month" needs translating, saves time and keeps the encyclopedia uniform across the commons.--Patrickneil 16:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
The general practice across Wikipedia has been to spell out Month Day, Year, rather than YYYY-MM-DD. I'm not sure that it's an official policy (I'd doubt it - formal policies are usually limited in scope), but it does tend to be the general practice. Doing so tends to minimize problems in cross-cultural confusion, in that March is March everywhere. European writers may write Day Month rather than Month Day, but it's easy to understand that 9 March and March 9 are the same thing to everyone. But where Europeans will usually write DD-MM, North Americans will usually write MM-DD. As a result, 3/9 will be read by an American as March 9th and by a European as September 3rd. --DMG413 02:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Religious schools
Hi Patrick, the official position of the Turkish ministry of Education is that there are no religious schools in Turkey any more. There are vocational high schools for the training of religious scholars Imam Hatip schools but this system is currently withering away. There are also a number of loosely affiliated private schools, (see the paragraph Gülen's movement in Fethullah Gulen), which have a low-key conservative agenda, reflected in the attitudes of the staff rather than in any formal way such as the curriculum. These may aspire to be religious schools at some stage but at the moment this is not permitted. Perhaps there is one in Alanya (I don't know), either way it's controversial to say there are religious schools per se in Alanya at the moment.
Well done with Alanya - very impressive article.
- Right, what you say is true. The school I'm referring to, one of the top 3 high schools in the city, is Imam Hatip. I'll change the Alanya article to reflect this.--Patrickneil 17:33, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Georgetown fight song
I see you had the "fight song moved to separate page". Could you please add a link to that page to the main Georgetown Hoyas page? Thanks, --M@rēino 21:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
