[edit] D. gray-man

The d. gray-man page is becoming more active. I saw your name in the history page, and I wondered if you would like to contribute to it more often. Contact me through my talk page - User: Countmall

[edit] Hi, Rjwilmsi!

Thanks for your intervention on Attraction to disability.

Now...

To be disinterested is to be altruistic (to lack a material incentive to do something; to do something pro bono). Motherly help is disinterested, because moms don't send their children bills for the care they lavished on them.

To be uninterested is not to be motivated at all. One may be uninterested in going to see Evita or A Holiday on Ice because one finds them deathly boring.

A nice distinction to remember :)

[edit] PAGE INTERUPTIONS / VANDALISM

205.188.117.6 "BEATLEWILL" This user has repetedly used a main article page to use it for a forum to rant his "opinions" (not facts) - it has already been reverted to the talk or discussion page where is belongs by a wise monitor/editor. But he refuses to take heed and puts up the same "disputes" and "opinion pieces" on a main subject page. THis is esp. true for the article on ART LORIA where the article shows his contributions to the music industry and is sourced, referenced and cited and properly formated.

Then 205.188.117.6 "BEATLEWILL" will come along and deface the article and rant about his opinions on his particular taste in music. Seems that because Mr. Loria was a "DOO WOP" performer, this vandal who has a more un-flattering for that genre of music, rather would share his opionin of the Beatles instead. BEATLEWILL even calims to be a spokesperson foe the Beatles and offers statements on what Yoko Ono or Psul McCartney would have to say. This is a disgrace! But totally acceptable if placed in the right forum. He has been corrected officially once, warned several times, but his banter continues.

That is is right and opinion of course - we just ask that he not be allowed to deface and disgrace an article main page in doing so. It takes away from the integrity of the music, theartist and WIKIPEDIA. Please follow the history of this user and look into this matter / complaint I have discussd. I'm doing research for a book and this is getting quite annoying. I'm not interested in his opinions of the Beatles, I'm interested in certain Doo Wop artists - it is greatly appriciated.

[edit] Spelling

Hi! Your edit Correcting spelling: worshipped->worshiped is incorrect. The article uses British English spellings, and worshipped is the correct spelling. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 11:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that one out. I've removed the incorrect entry from Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings/For machines.

[edit] Hello

Thanks for visiting a Pashtun tribe Swati article. I was trying to improve that but certainly, I would need some minor help from friends around also. Thanks. 202.154.255.4 09:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling "mw"

Your edit of Preston#Local Radio Stations changed "mw" to "mW". In fact it should be "MW" = "medium wave" (not milliwatts).--Dr Greg 11:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] YES!

Thank you for your spelling AWB work. Please let me give you a random High five! —ScouterSig 18:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling note

Hello. Regarding your user page request to report mistakes, "ballon" was spelt correctly in the Roberto Baggio article. Regards. --Muchness

Replied & fixed. Rjwilmsi 17:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling "corrections" in Canonical hours

"Typica" is spelled correctly. It's the name of a kind of church service in Eastern Orthodoxy. Last time someone did this I even inserted a comment informing prospective spellcheckers that this word was not misspelled. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling kidnaped

I don't believe kidnaped is a misspelling. In any case, your "correction" defeats the purpose of the sentence. Your bot also failed to mention in its edit summary the huge number of citation-punctuation changes it made. jnestorius(talk) 23:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Replied & fixed Rjwilmsi 17:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please be a bit more careful when using AWB

When you go through fixing spelling mistakes using AWB, can you please be more careful to check whether the word used is grammatically sound in the sentence? Here it is clearly obvious that the word used should be "broadcast" not "broadcasted". Thanks! -- PageantUpdatertalk | contribs | esperanza 07:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Replied - 'broadcasted' is an acceptable variant in this case, though accept need to fix grammar. Rjwilmsi 17:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your cleanup on the Altavista petroglyphs article. I was unsure about the capitalization. Is the word European always capiltalized - even in cases like "The European stance on the issue..." ? - FaAfA Aloha 19:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

My apologies, I was contacting the wrong person to begin with. :) -- intgr 15:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black Hand

You have added a pop culture bit on the Black Hand page regarding a video game. We appreciate your contribution, and I'm just letting you know that I have simplified and clarified the wording. If I cut anything important, please point that out on the Black Hand talk page. Thanks! RideABicycle | Talk | 16:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AWB

You do realize AutoWikiBrowser is "fixing" ref names?[2] As in <ref name="maryland" /> → <ref name="Maryland" />. Although I don't think it breaks the page, this could be a problem since XML is case-sensitive. Regards, Tuxide 19:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Replied - these changes won't break the referencing. Rjwilmsi 19:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Not necessarily true; if someone wants to use the "maryland" reference again then they have to use the capitalized version, else change them back. It may not break the current version of the page but it's quite annoying. For example, the code below breaks. Tuxide 19:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
this is "Foo"<ref name="Foo">test1</ref>

this is "foo"<ref name="foo" /> but I am trying to use the same reference again

<references />
produces:

this is "Foo"[1]

this is "foo"[2] but I am trying to use the same reference again

  1. ^ test1
  2. ^

[edit] Lowercase letters in Norwegian month names

Hi, thanks for the edit to HNoMS Olav Tryggvason, but in addition to the correct correction of "1930's" to "1930s" the edit also "fixed" the title of a Norwegian book (used as a source) and replaced the word "april" with "April". In Norwegian we start the names of months with lowercase letters, unless said month is the first word in a sentence, of course. Might want to add that to your system. Manxruler 22:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Replied - foreign language needs to be tagged. Rjwilmsi 06:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
No problem, and thanks for teaching me about language tagging. Its really helpful. Manxruler 10:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Appleton - incorrect spelling correction

Please let me know how I can prevent you from changing 'Safty' to 'Safety' within the Michael Appleton article. Safty is correct - it is part of someone's name, namely Mr El-Safty (see the external references). Thanks. --Jameboy 09:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Replied - have added an exception. Rjwilmsi 17:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
