[edit] Re:Earthdawn
Being a fan of the game, I am happy to see somebody working on it :) Btw, why do you blank your talk page?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
- I blanked out the welcome message from my talk page, just seemed silly to keep it around. No messages since then apart from yours. Oh, one brief suggestion about tagging my vandalism reverts properly also. I read since then it's not considered good to do that, but I think it's no great harm for what was on it.

[edit] DRV
Please stop disrupting DRV. I've closed and archived a debate and there is no need to resurrect a debate that has already gone on for too long. This is your only warning. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 19:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
- It is not your unilateral decision as to when debate has "gone on for too long". What is this my "only warning" toward? Ryanjunk 19:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
The discussion is now on the talk page where it belongs. The "Global notices" section is, not surprisingly, for notices, not for discussion. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 19:59, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] popups?
I see you reverting changes at Middle East, and using a comment about popups. While you are certainly reverting vandalism, I don't see how it relates to popups... am I missing something? -Harmil 19:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- I guess my question was: how did your edit comment about this JavaScript tool relate to your edit (which was a reversion of vandalism)? -Harmil 19:30, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stubs
Thanks for the reminder. However, using specific stubs usually is my practice, but the article literally no indication of what it weas at all. It could be a road, team or building for all the article stated (which it said founded, so figured it wasnt living). I considered nominating it for deletion, but tried to give it a chance.--Esprit15d 16:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Barf bag
You nominated this article for speedy deletion with the reason "Dictdef". However, "Dictdef" is not currently a criterion for speedy deletion on Wikipedia, so I have removed the tag.
You may use any of the following tags if you prefer:
- {{move to Wiktionary}} if you feel that expansion to an encyclopedia article is impossible
- {{afd}} if you feel that the article should be deleted
Thanks for helping clear up Wikipedia! Stifle 17:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stubs
- Hello, Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can. Thanks! Ryanjunk 16:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

- I quickly review many articles and stub them if needed - preferring to leave a polish of the stub type to someone with more time/interest in this type of house work. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 12:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FORscene
I believe that some time ago you nominated my article on FORscene for deletion for various reasons, one of which was a claim of non-notability. Following discussions with a number of people on WP, the consensus is that, although the article didn't make it clear, FORscene is notable. Now I have been on Wikipedia a bit longer, I have also come across the relevant WP guidelines: WP:CORP is the existing guideline and WP:SOFTWARE is the proposed guideline. As FORscene verifiably meets both these guidelines, would you consider amending your position on notability of FORscene? Alternatively, please could you explain the basis of your assertion.

[edit] ???
Hi this is Louisvillian and there is currently an Edit War on the Southern U.S. page between myself and user http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.168.88.158 or Gator (his login name and I noticed you've already warned him of is highly opinionated edits)and if I'm not mistaken you are an admin and I was hoping to put an end to this. This war is involving the Cultural variations section about Kentucky. It's basically about is Kentucky more Southern or Midwestern and what not, and me knowing opinions mean nothing on this site provided a few sources to back what I put into the Article here is my Edit
Kentucky, at the confluence of the Upper South or Upland South and the Midwest, served as an important Border State during the Civil War and has long exhibited great cultural variety across different regions of the state. Some studies suggest that while the vast majority of Kentuckians (79%) consider themselves and their state to be Southern, a considerable amount of Kentuckians may not readily identify with the South, most of whom who are opposed to the term Southern opt for the term Midwestern.[1] [1] For example, the culture of Northern Kentucky is more Midwestern than Southern, as this region is culturally and economically attached to Cincinnati. Conversely, Southern Indiana is more Southern than Midwestern, as it is culturally and — particularly in south central Indiana — economically attached to Louisville [2]. Louisville is often described as both "the Gateway to the South" and "the northernmost Southern city and southernmost Northern city." While varying degrees of Northern cultural influence can be found in Kentucky outside of the Golden Triangle region, cities such as Owensboro, Bowling Green, and Paducah, along with most of the state's rural areas, have largely remained distinctly Southern in character.

Kentucky, at the confluence of the Upper South and the Midwest, served as an important Border State during the Civil War and has long exhibited great cultural variety across different regions of the state. Some studies suggest that many Kentuckians may not readily identify with the South or consider themselves to be "Southern", opting instead for the term "Midwestern" or more neutral regional labels. [2] For example, the culture of Northern Kentucky is more Midwestern than Southern, as this region is culturally and economically attached to Cincinnati. Conversely, Southern Indiana is highly Southern when compared to most of the Midwest, as it is culturally and — particularly in south central Indiana — economically attached to Louisville. Louisville, viewed as a Midwestern city in some analyses of the region [3], is often described as both "the Gateway to the South" and "the northernmost Southern city and southernmost Northern city." While varying degrees of Northern cultural influence can be found in Kentucky outside of the Golden Triangle region, cities such as Owensboro, Bowling Green, and Paducah, along with most of the state's rural areas, have largely remained distinctly Southern in character.
The other user is having alot of problems at the part where it states that the vast majority of Kentuckians identify with the South (which was cited with The Southern Focus Study). He just wants it to say that Kentuckians may not readily identify with the South, without mention of the source that I've provided. This stems from a debate as to which of our sources is more reliable, My Southern Focus Study which has been conducted for the past decade and is still running, or his pre 1990's study that was conducted for only one year. So I tried to incorperate both of our sources (which you can see in my edit above), But he is using his opinion to counter this source. There is also a problem at the part where it claims that Northern Ky is more Midwestern than Southern (as it was not cited) so I cited it with a map created by this nation most reknwon georgrapher DW Meining's. The problem he has with this is that it proves that Southern Indiana is more Southern than Midwestern (which is against his opinion). He continues to edit the Southern Indiana claim without touching the Northern Kentucky claim, which are cited by the same moer than credible source. I've lately tried to compromise with him on the edits, however he continues to take out my more than qualified ( much more so than the little sources he has provdided to support his opinion which is in the minority might I add) and preferred (by the concensus on this current and old Southern talk page) sources, without cause/ his opinion.
Now he is also making a claim that Louisville is considerd a Midwestern city, and attempted to cite it with a JSTOR, that's fine, But what he claimed was not in the Exert from the JSTOR to prove Louisville was a Midwestern city is not in there at all. It doesn't even mention the state of Kentucky on the JSTOR. If you aren't too busy can please take time to resolve this matter, if you can please send me a message on my page Louisvillian 04:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Agility
You tagged the Agility page for deletion while I was in the process of editing it and adding sources. Agility is a globally recognized company, and is in fact a company providing much of the military logistics for the US Armed Forces.

Can you help me out? I'm new to this thing and I really want to subscribe to standards.

[edit] Grammar
Rather than clutter WP:AN/I I thought that it was better to talk here, if that's OK. "Out" can often be used as an adverb, but:
- out
- prep.
- out of (looked out the window).
("out adv., prep., n., adj., int., & v." The Oxford American Dictionary of Current English. Oxford University Press, 1999. Oxford Reference Online. Oxford University Press. Oxford University. 16 March 2007 <http://www.oxfordreference.com/views/ENTRY.html?subview=Main&entry=t21.e21611>)
"Eat out" is surely elliptical for "eat out of one's house".
"Stretch out" is a phrasal verb, which is normally defined as a combined verb and preposition — but I'm less confident of that one. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 19:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
