You're welcome. I don't think my work has ever been compared to cold beer before. :P Anyway, you know, you don't have to bookmark the pages you edit frequently. You can just add them to your watchlist. Ryan 14:53, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 850 CSi

Thanks for letting me know about the pic. It looks good; it was a little too green before (I don't know why). The change is fine by me. Keep up the good work. Jagvar 05:32, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SoCal WikiProject

As a Los Angeles resident, you may be interested in the Southern California WikiProject (and/or its parent California Wikiproject). Please take a look at the projects and see if there is anything that interests you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. BlankVerse ∅ 02:59, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] P99

Sorry about that Sirimiri, I am new to contributing to Wiki and still don't understand all the processes and conventions. I'll be sure to take notice of and use the talk page before butchering an article in the future :)

I will write up something on the S&W 99 when I have a minute.

[edit] New XLR Photo

Love the new XLR pic! It's a lot cleaner, clearer and bigger than the one I submitted. Don't hesitate to replace any of my photos with pics that are better. I like your work! Jagvar 16:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ticketmaster

I noticed your call for more work on the Ticketmaster page a few days ago and happened to be in just the mood to make it a little less "pro-ticketmaster" today. Have a read and see what you think - did I go too far? Not far enough? In the right direction? Cheers! Musser 21:45, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

Hey, I saw your comments on Talk:Los Angeles, California and thought you might be interested to know I've put in a formal request for it to be moved to Los Angeles. I think I've listed the arguments in favor, but feel free to add to or refute them and weigh in. Thanks. Jibbajabba 07:49, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Walther and James Bond

I did leave a note under the Walther PPK, but only in that it related directly to the Walther. That is, one reason the Walther is popular is because of Bond. Not minutia about James Bond that was there before... that belongs under the James Bond entry. As for the Walther P99, I don't think it's relavant.--Asams10 16:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VFR800

Why did you remove my VFR800 comment old chap??? Have you owned both motorbikes? I originally owned a 5thGen, tried 2 6thGen abd returned to the 5thGen for the reasons I outlined in the VRF800 entry update. My update is supported by many VFR800 riders in the UK, I know around 30 personally and am a member of three UK based owners clubs. Sorry if this the wrong way to communicate, I am new to Wikipedia, any advice would be greatly appreciated. --FabreFaction

Hello FabreFaction! Sorry that it seemed brusque, but I removed the 5th generation comment about the VFR because it is considered a non-neutral point of view or orginal research. You'll notice on other articles, such as the Chevrolet Corvette there are always ongoing disputes regarding how "everybody thinks the C6 'Vette tromps XXXXX car for the money" etc. but that is essentially aficionado talk that belongs on internet boards. Wikipedia is a place where the facts should speak for themselves, but "everybody says" type of statements need to be cited by external, authoritative sources. And for what it's worth, I am jealous of your gear-driven cams. I loved my 4th gen and the non FI. --Sirimiri 22:04, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. I agree with your decision to remove the comment. Also thanks for the info on my discussion page, very useful. FabreFaction 07:01, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another LA-area Wikipedia meetup?

There is a proposal for a 3rd LA-area meetup at Philippe's on Saturday, 24 June 2006. If you are interested in another meetup, please visit the proposal and comment on the date and location. BlankVerse 08:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sniper Rifle

Hi, from our previous interaction it is obvious that you are knowledgeable and interested in small arms/firearms and weaponry in general. I would like to enlist your help in looking at the Sniper rifle article, because a user with a fairly limited history on wikipedia and has made substantial changes and additions that I feel detract from the article. He reverts changes and repeatedly pretends to answer criticisms and questions (using wordy and long winded arguments) and pretends to makes compromises in many edits (120 in 3 days). Maybe I'm crazy, I just though some other users might be interested in the state of this page and more voices might reach a better compromise/solution. See discussion on Talk:Sniper rifle#Capabilities Section Discussion and Talk:Sniper rifle#Intro. Thanks. Deon Steyn 16:11, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Deon, thanks for the invite. I am not too knowledgeable on rifles, for the most part, and certainly an unaware of the tactics involved, but from the looks of it, you are facing someone who doggedly disputes things, yet doesn't really have much of a presence on Wikipedia themselves. I will add those pages to my watchlist anyway, and if there are things I can chime in on, that help build consensus and improve the article, will do so. BTW one of my "specialties" is photography, I enjoy adding my own quality images to Wikipedia, if you are in Southern California and have some weaponry-related items to photograph, we could team up on that. Or, if you have ratty photographs that need editing, I can help as well. --Sirimiri 18:51, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. More users are now looking at the page which should help reach consensus and clarity. It seems this user is also watering down or obfuscating the subject to the point where it is almost meaningless in a misguided attempt at preventing pro gun control (US-specific) from latching on to the idea. I have reported him for breaking the 3 Revert Rule and I'm awaiting the outcome on WP:AN3.
I'm actually located in South Africa. Wish I was living in states with the opportunity to collect firearms! Deon Steyn 10:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
