[edit] Natalee Holloway

  • Thanks for your work on the Natalee Holloway article. It's nice to see reasonable people editing for a change. --Dystopos 14:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fictional use of Junius

  • Thanks for adding the piece on the Fictional use of Junius. Currenty I am researching Junius and am really intrigued to hear of Sight Unseen. I would be most grateful to hear more about it. Please feel free to use my e-mail address --Eltharian 3 April 2006

[edit] Podkayne of Mars Ending

  • Hi! I noticed you'd done some work on the Podkayne article, and I had a question for you. I just finished re-reading Podkayne of Mars (Berkeley Medallion Edition, 1/1970, 7th printing). In this ending Poddy is hurt, but will recover, and Uncle Tom lectures Dad. The Wikipedia article says "Podkayne is injured by the bomb, but will recover, and the moral of the story, as spoken by Uncle Tom, is omitted entirely." Do you know if there are three different endings? I'm wondering if this could be someone's memory playing tricks on them, or perhaps the 1995 version with both ending omitted UT's lecture in one of the endings to avoid repeating it. I don't suppose you have a first edition copy of this book? DejahThoris 07:54, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
    • No, I don't, but no, there are only two. Tom lectures Dad in both editions, but in the version where Poddy survives, the lecture is much softer and Tom doesn't really attack the parenting as much. Maybe that should be rephrased in the article.--Wehwalt 10:36, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Thank you! --DejahThoris 20:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
      • I am mistaken, he doesn't lecture in the version where Poddy dies.--Wehwalt 17:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Berenson Article

Good edits sir, and I don't ever mind doing some minor edits to articles. That article was a MESS and really needed the work. SmartGuy 16:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen

I really like your first two edits to this article, but I've reworded a sentence regarding Queen Victoria's mother that might be read as a POV statement. ("It is unfortunate that Victoria's mother did not return the kindness.") I do hope I've caught the gist of what you meant -- feel free to correct it if I did not. Cheers, Marysunshine 23:09, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Orphans of the Sky

Excellent edits! I appreciate your enhancements. Jim Dunning 19:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Panama Canal Zone

Good edit. Thanks! HiramShadraski 12:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Podkayne

It is unlikely that there were two groups out to get Uncle Tom. It makes more sense that Mrs. Grew was a backup option. After all, any plotters willing to blow up a liner would have no qualms about sacrificing an underling just to increase their chances. Occam's razor. Clarityfiend 00:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Possible. But Poddy thought there were were. That is the conclusion she comes to. We can rephrase around the point, no huhu.--Wehwalt 00:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Incidently, nothing stopped Grew & Co from killing Tom once they had him. They want him to sing their tune, they don't want Finnegan representing Mars at Luna.--Wehwalt 00:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ruby Lasers in TMIAHM

The relevant episode is on page 156 of the Orb edition, 1997, a few pages into chapter 11. Heinlein, as an engineer, is unlikely to have thrown jewels into the mix as financing, particularly since the HK dollar circulated freely in Luna and the Party had plenty of them, courtesy of Mike's swindle. However he really didn't understand the nature of the device in several ways - not just the lack of efficiency but the need for long ruby rods, which are usually made artificially (it's a form of corundum). Djdaedalus 21:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robert A. Heinlein

Re: child->teenager->minor->adolescent. I actually thought of the word 'adolescent' a few minutes after I made that change. It seems about right (i.e. sexually mature (in a biological sense), but not yet 'adult'). 'minor' is a legal term, so it's not quite right; 'child' isn't right either (and has really bad mojo in that context). I guess we'll see if anyone else wants to weigh in. -- Jim Douglas 23:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Euro

I felt that you had not looked at existing articles on the Euro before you wrote Introduction of the euro. The Euro article is actually too long: there may be scope for splitting it. But please make sure that your material is properly integrated with the existing articles. Your version is of course available. -- RHaworth 01:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I need some time to integrate the online resources on the introduction of the euro into the new article. Then I will delete the material in the existing euro article. Give me a chance.--Wehwalt 02:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Just put in my 2 cents here. I agree that the article of euro is too long. Nevertheless, a splitting is a delicate process and it requires time and peer reviews. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 20:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry if I blundered in. But I proposed writing a new article and a couple of people said go for it. I'm not the best writer, but I get things started.--Wehwalt 01:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typo

Thanks for correcting it Nenyedi 01:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ukrainian-German collaboration during World War II

Hi! I saw your interests page, and I wish to explain a bit situation with mentioned history-related article.

In fact, we don't want to erase content of this, it will be merged into more global article like "Occupation of Ukraine".

Also, as you can notice, current version of article contains >50% about Holocaust, it's not the primary goal of it. If it will be merged into Occupation of Ukraine it will be more title-specific. Because at that times, there were Soviet people, not Ukrainians. And article particularly speaks about Jews.

Also, you mentioned, that article is referenced, but I want to tell you that most references are not valid, since citations were misinterpreted by editors. You can see talk page for more info. Briefly, the strongest accusations were provided from some journalist, which has only one article on history, and has no historical background at all.

Thanks for understanding, please provide your arguments. --Galkovsky 06:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] re: borat

noticed your edit back there, i'm not sure about the desert eagle reference, but i made the hooey lewis contrib, and i did it after i found i was the only person who got the huey lewis reference, among the people i was watching it with. in fact, none of them had even heard of him, much less his music. so all i'm saying is that perhaps it isn't that obvious, after all. also, didn't find any other reference to huey/hooey lewis in the article. joseph 15:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for joining. If you're interested, check out the goals of our February participation drive, detailed in the Announcements section of the project page. Again, welcome! BuddingJournalist 14:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Rachel Corrie

OK as "possible", though I still prefer "allegation"; if Mr. Corrie states "there was never a threat made against us" then he seems to be contradicting the suggestion that he was facing possible kidnapping. "Possibility" disregards his perspective for an inferior yet preferred perspective, IMHO.  :o) Still it's fine either way, better than it was, Cheers DBaba 05:29, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Simple Plan

I don't take it as a personal attack... as people say, "it's cool". About the putting new things on the bottom of the talk page, I didn't know because I'm relatively a new Wikipedian. Sorry if I caused any fuss. Ian Lee 01:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi once again! If you want to, you can add one of the SP userboxes I made to your userpage (User:Ian_Lee/Custom_Userboxes). You don't have to, but it's just a thought. Also, I've been thinking about making a Wikiproject for Simple Plan like the My Chemical Romance Wikiproject. I do realize that SP has A LOT less fans than MCR... at least here in America, but I think that we could probably get at least ten serious members (you, me, Cambridgebayweather, ect...) to join, and I think that would be sufficient. What do you think? — Ian Lee (Talk|contribs) 06:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind... I took the initiative into creating it myself: Wikipedia:WikiProject Simple Plan. Join! — Ian Lee (Talk|contribs) 07:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Persian literature

Dear Wehwalt!

Persian literature was previously a GA. However it was silent about contemporary literature. I added information about "contemporary persian literature". The section needs copyeditting and also shortening. In case you are interested in the subject, I would like to ask you to help me in copy editting the article. I also posted a request in the "League of copyeditors page". Thanks alot. Sangak 16:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, I will try to work on it this weekend.--Wehwalt 18:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Take care.Sangak 15:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Schapelle Corby problem

I have noticed you reverted my fixing to the infobox and changed "charge" to "convicted of". While I much appreciate your intentions to avoid confusion, I'd have to tell you that in the turnout of the article, "convicted of" simply cannot show up in the infobox because our current criminal infobox code does not contain such a "convicted of" row. As you can see in Schapelle Corby article, the "convicted of" does not show up. So my suggestion is change it back to "charge" and maybe make a convicted of row when my colleagues in WP:CRIME project improve the infobox. And if you know anyone who is an expert in infobox code, he is more than welcome to edit the infobox template to add "convicted of" row in the template, rather than in the article.
