corpsicles

Hi I saw the new category you listed on the Ted Williams, page. While funny, I'm not sure that's a real category. Do you want to go back and edit it out ? No Guru 04:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC).

  • Thanks I like the new category title better ! No Guru 04:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Jerome Branch Corbell redirect

Hi, I changed this article to a redirect per Wikipedia's guidelines on notability in fiction; the article's contents were more fully covered in A World Out of Time. --Muchness 09:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Clipper route

Thanks for adding those ship links to clipper route — I searched for Lightning last night and couldn't find her, so I've added her to Lightning (disambiguation). — Johan the Ghost seance 11:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Captain Powell

Hi Brainhe. I'm Wikimachine, and I saw your article Captain Powell (Dark Star). I say that we merge it into the Dark Star article. I don't see the need for a separate article for just a character in movie -especially an outdated one. You know, this is an encyclopedia. So could you take some moment to consider my suggestion? Thanks. (Wikimachine 02:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC))

Hoh River

Hello Brian,

I've noticed that you have submitted a few nice contributions to the article about Hoh River.

I am currently gathering feedback about the Hikipedia project (which also includes an article about Hoh River). Could you please give me some feedback about the Hikipedia site? Would you consider contributing to Hikipedia?

I know that one can add trail descriptions to a regular Wikipedia, but there are quite a few things that would be too difficult too acomplish: trail-oriented search, embedded weather forecast, voting for trail difficulty and enjoyability, trail reports, links and images of guidebooks.

Please let me know what you think about Hikipedia (you can use the feedback page, or reply here).

Thank you for your time,

Lukasz Anforowicz

Redundant cat

noting your redundant cat edits, what's the policy-guideline-direction on adding cat...sorry to be fudging it , but how do you decide? Listing in "Motorcycle manufacturers of the United States" does not make the topic appear in "Motorcycle manufacturers", so in what sense is that redundant? Seasalt 06:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Great cleanup job

I appreciate your cleanup job with the computer networking companies. You probably realize that I've been working quite a bit in that area and just today I realized "Networking companies of the United States" wasn't connected at all to the networking subtree as it should be. Thanks for sorting out the cat / subcat stuff! This month I have been trying to thin out the "Computer hardware companies" cat by creating new cats when justified and just generally shifting things around to sharper categories.

Jellybeans

You have been awarded these Jelly Beans from -The Doctor- Please, enjoy them.
You have been awarded these Jelly Beans from -The Doctor- Please, enjoy them.

Here are some Jelly beans for you. I love jelly beans as they have sugar in them and most people love sugar. But on the other hand just receiving somthing from somone else just makes you happy and also just giving this to you makes me happy. I hope to spread the jelly beans all over Wikipedia, so here, you can have this lot. Please enjoy them. (I like the lime ones.)

Editors need a bit of a sugar high too.

Yay, my first Wiki-reward! Thanks! -- Brianhe 06:11, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Seattle categorizations

On the whole, I appreciate the work you are doing on Seattle categorizations, but I believe that at least two of these are wrong, one dead wrong. You placed Picardo Farm under Category:Parks in Seattle. Picardo Farm is not a park. It is not even under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks and Recreation, it is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Neighborhoods. Similarly, the inclusion of P-Patch in Category:Parks in Seattle is not entirely wrong (since some of them are in parks), but is misleading (because many, such as Picardo Farm, are not). - Jmabel | Talk 20:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I suppose it could go under Seattle government but that's a little obscure. Parks is the closest we have for a category for these things but I agree it's a little imperfect. I'd prefer not to leave it in the top-level Seattle category. I'm open to suggestions. Brianhe 23:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Satra

why motorcycles (its not a motorcycle brand) rather than motorcycling? just curious about the logic. Seasalt 11:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Good question, I almost put a short explanation in the edit log but here it is. Satra was a distributor. We don't have a place for it but if we did, I thought it would be in the motorcycles cat, analagous to vehicles->automobiles->auto dealerships. Brianhe 16:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Cossack isnt just a classification but brand name used by Satra to market Soviet bikes, in same way Matchless put AJS badges on matchless bikes. Just so long as u knew that & still thought "motorcycle classification" was best category.... also on Dnepr a bot changed category sidecar to sidecars...Seasalt 11:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Heartfelt Thanks

Brian, I wanted to thank you for your dedicated work with Wikipedia. My recent creation of the David Andrew Thompson page was deleted as per Wikipedia policy and community choice. Thank you for holding my feet to the fire with the standards that keep Wikipedia thriving. I am a strong open source/creative commons advocate and am grateful for persons like yourself who serve to foster the very community that allows our cause to be exemplary.

Thank you! And PLEASE keep up the hard work! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daweedo (talk • contribs) 17:04, 1 December 2006

Glad that you took that change in the non-personal way it was meant. I still think that what you put up would make a fine user page (hint, hint). -- Brianhe 17:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
