- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

[edit] Philosophy
No, the idea was that you should explain why you thought that your edits were desirable, not indulge in recriminations. If you explain (at Talk:Philosophy) what you think is wrong with the article, and why it needs to be changed, then people can discuss your ideas and suggestions. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ultimate music
Hi there. Thanks for updating the Sabre Wulf and Pentagram (video game) pages. I'd no idea what the music was called. Cheers. --Plumbago 19:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Protein structure prediction
I just wanted to make sure you are aware of the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject. --JWSchmidt 12:10, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Reform Judaism
Hi! I think you were right to redact my choice of "analogue" to describe Liberal Judaism. Poor choice of word. I also have a tendency to construct long sentences; it's just my writing style. Thanks for the feedback. I took another stab at the intro para for this article, as it is really choppy. More to follow. Best, Kaisershatner 13:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
See talk. Kaisershatner 17:25, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Zargulon, you haven't commented on my edits on Reform Judaism yet. What do you think? Izehar 20:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] vote
Hi, there's a vote on at Talk:Mormon views about Mormonism and Judaism#Name change. People want to move the article that describes the Mormon views on Judaims to "Mormonism and Judaism". Just thought you should know. Izehar (talk) 00:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Stop-time
Fixed. Hyacinth 12:56, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion on MCB
[edit] Hokkaido Takushoku Bank
Sorry for the late reply, but excelent work. I am surprised that there was interest in that bank in the first place. Keep up the good work. Indiana Fats 14:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gyokudo Kawai/Kawai Gyokudo temp
What is it exactly that you're trying to do with these? I'm here to help, just trying to sort out the situation. Thanks. Chick Bowen 02:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I think I've figured it out. On August 20 User:61.26.81.2 did a cut and paste move from Kawai Gyokudo to Gyokudo Kawai. However, he or she left the original where it was. Differences between them appear to be trivial. Therefore, I'm going to delete Kawai Gyokudo temp, as you suggested with your delete tag, and leave the redirect from GK to KG. Let me know if I've misinterpreted, because I don't want to lose any of the revision history of the current article--I can always undelete. Thanks. Chick Bowen 02:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I see. I'll check the histories again and make sure everything is preserved. In the future, use the "move" button for all moves. If the page you're moving to has never been anything but a redirect to the page you're moving from, it will work. If not, it has to be done by an administrator, but you can post it at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thanks, and happy editing. Chick Bowen 15:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Protein-protein interaction prediction
Hi Zargulon. Are you aware of this new page: Protein-protein interaction prediction? It was off to an unlucky start, being listed on Articles for Deletion. Lambiam 07:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of redundant expressions
I agree that this list has no place in Wikipedia, but I guess that we are out of luck at the moment. The article doesn't seem to meet any criteria for speedy deletion, and actually it's not appropriate to use PROD either. (PROD is for unopposed deletion; a vote to delete the list has just recently failed, so it is by definition opposed.) It'll have to be solved by a new VfD (which should be started about a month after the previous one). - Mike Rosoft 12:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re : Can you help me multiple move request?
Hi Zargulon
Firstly, go to the page you want to move. You'll see that there is a 'Move' button on every article, between 'History' and 'Watch'. Click onto it and you'll be brought to the page where you enter the new title of the article.
Make sure that there is community consensus for the articles to be moved to their new articles before you perform the articles. Please use Wikipedia:Requested moves instead if the move is possibly contraversial.
An extended guide is avaliable at Help:Moving a page if you need further reference. Also note that the Help:Redirect feature is avaliable if you just need to create additional titles to point to an existing article. Hope that helps! :)

[edit] Ancient Greek Wikisource
I understand from your userboxes you're interested in Ancient Greek. I've submitted a proposal to add an Ancient Greek Wikisource on Meta, and I'd be very grateful if you could assist me by either voting in Support of the proposal, or even adding your name as one of the contributors in the template. (NB: I'm posting this to a lot of people, so please reply to my talkpage or to Meta) --Nema Fakei 20:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trinomial theorem
Argh! Thanks for fixing my silly error on the Montessori page :) Bookgrrl 00:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adulterers
We are in disagreement about this category, which I am resisting because it could label vast numbers of biographies and turn public opinion against Wikipedia. I will discuss it further, and if I am outvoted and ruled against then so be it, you win. But meanwhile please do not add more biographies to the category until the matter has been resolved. Viewfinder 21:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] April Fool's Day
It's back on AFD. I started a section on the Talk page, if this interests you. -Seidenstud 15:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
- Wow. You're quick. I think you beat me to it.... -Seidenstud 15:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] about extra
Howdy Zargulon. "Extra" by itself has a meaning similar to "more", whereas "Extra-" means "out of (attached word)". The addition of punctuation makes a difference. --Fang Aili talk 19:31, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, but not to the meaning in this case. Since "marital affair" on its own doesn't have any meaning in the context, the only reasonable way for a reader to parse "extra marital affair" is as having the same meaning as "extra-marital affair". For sake of argument, I am happy to acknowledge that the typography may have been incorrect, but the meaning was unambiguous, which is the only point I ever made. If I wrote mouse as muse, that would have a different meaning but if I wrote moustache as mustache it would be different (wrong, here in the UK) but only by a letter, not in meaning. I also rather thought there was a disrespectful implication to your edit that the issues surrounding the deletion of the cat weren't worth addressing with the articulate and reasoned argument which I am sure you are capable of, but if you didn't intend this disrespectfully, then I apologize. Zargulon 19:46, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- No disrespect was intended. I agreed with the reasoning of the other users who voted "delete", and didn't feel the need to go into more details. I only mentioned "extra" as a point of interest, for anyone who cared. I understand that the meaning of your text was probably not misunderstood by anyone, but just wanted to mention that there is a difference between "extra marital" and "extra-marital", regardless of many people's ignorance of this. (You can look up "extra" vs. "extra-" at m-w.com for confirmation.) It's not a big deal by any means, and again, I just mentioned it for anyone who cared. Happy editing. --Fang Aili talk 19:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Checkmate
In the checkmate article, you put "contradiction", but didn't say why on the talk page. What do you think is a contradiction? Bubba73 (talk), 15:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- I got your reply. If you thought that there was a contradiction, it might be because something wasn't written clearly. Is there anything that needs to be clarified? Bubba73 (talk), 16:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Conversation with Blofeld
HI it is extremely useful having somebody who can translate Japanese. I am extremely impressed. To me every Japanese letter or writing looks the same - a square!! Are you Japanese or English? Either way the articles are nicely written and categorized. Well done! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Excellent! A learning curve and useful articles! I have also contributed some Japanese articles in the past temples and things like that. Hey have a look at my underground layer on my user page. Mount Fuji! idea taken from You Only Live Twice (film). All the best and keep up the great work Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
To be honest with I have contibuted so many thousands of articles to wikipedia that I can't remember. There were only a few I have contributed far more to China than Japan in the far-east. Ha yes. Underground layer is a spoof term used in the Austin powers films by Doctor Evil mimicking James Bond and SPECTRE to refer to a headquarters used by an evil genius based in a volcano somewhere in Japan. It is a parody of You Only Live Twice!!Ernst Stavro Blofeld 11:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
The only one I can remember one of my poorer stubs is Shoren-in Temple. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 11:11, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] renormalization
No problem. It occurs to me that if we were to reference a noteworthy work on modern interpretations of renormalization, published by a professional physicist or philosopher, that might be a sensible compromise.
You asked me whether I think that the interesting debate on renormalization is historical. I don't think it's so relevant for the discussion about Chris Oakley's link, but...I do personally think the physical understanding of renormalization and the RG is much more settled, now. This physical understanding was developed from Wilson onwards.
I would say that the main remaining objections are that the mathematical rigour is missing, but this is the same as with any aspect of QFT, unfortunately. Lack of mathematical rigour doesn't stop us physicists, of course....--Jpod2 13:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Eruv
Yesterday, you added the "weasel" tag to the Eruv article. Thank you for this effort at improving the article. But unless we know which words bother you, we can't fix them. Please go to the Eruv Discussion page and specify which sections seem weaselly to you. Thanks. --Keeves 12:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jewish services -text and language
I don't know the derivation for the statement that there are prayers that must be recited in Hebrew. I did not write that text, I merely provided a citation for the law that allows for non-Hebrew recital of the Shema. Kari Hazzard (T | C) 15:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I moved the discussion of the Shema language to Shema. It seemed more appropriate there. In Jewish services the general statement covers everything and restating the principle for selected individual prayers didn't seem to belong there as much as in the Shema article. +--Shirahadasha 18:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello, as an fyi and not as halachic advice (I don't give halakhic advice), many, many Jewish worshippers are less than fluent in Hebrew, it's a very common situation. I don't believe anyone would regard it as forbidden for them to pray in Hebrew, with the congregation or in private. One improves ones comprehension and understanding with practice and study, in this as in any matter where learning is involved. If it were forbidden one could never learn. Even native speakers have to deal with this as children. Praying in a non-hebrew language is a permission, not a requirement, and many regard it as a permission to be avoided if possible to ensure the Hebrew language continues to be studied and used. Best, --Shirahadasha 18:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

| Zargulon, you are a dedicated Wikipedian. You have kept going in the discussions on the Systems biology talk page, never resorting to personal attacks, in the face of hostility to your views. I was also impressed when I read your simple apology to another wikipedian -- it shows a generosity of spirit. Please, keep your ideas and criticisms coming, they have helped me really think hard about the article. Robnpov 20:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC) |
