[edit] E.U. "If ranked"

I am not trying to further an USA-centric POV on the E.U. page, but I do think that American english should be used since this is an American website. Also it does not make sense giving the E.U. ranks that it does not have and belong to real countries. Daniel 23 February 2007

Also I was/am trying to help wikipedia by fixing a information box that somebody messed with but every time I try to fix the info box it gets deleted. User:Daniel Chiswick 23 February 2007

[edit] Reply

What, you don't think that The Honorable Stephen Colbert is a well-intentioned, nicely informed, high-status genius who is inspired by fake personalities, particularly Bill O'Communist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.196.183.248 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Minis Tirith

Dear Gdo01, I was the guy who made "vandalsim" concerning Minas Tirith. I just can't find out why. I posted that Minas Tirith is 1.1km² big in the movies and accord ing to the Lotr: Weapons and Warfare that't true. Infact the city is bigger than in the books because Fonstad writes that the whole city has a diameter of 3100 feet ( not only the first level). I also made some changes concerning the battle of the pelennor fields. If there were just 3000 gondorians in the city during the siege that would mean that the normal garrison was just 200 men strong because tolkien mentions that 2800 men came from the south (including those from Dol Amroth) In the movie 20 mumakil fight in the battle(according to Lotr: Weapons and Warfare) So I just can't understand why you call me a vandal, Sincerely, Lukmat 16

Ps: I'm sorry for my horrible English.

[edit] Hisagi

Well I was changing this true article for Hisagi Shuhei and he removed it about the birthday, It has been proofing right that Hisagi's birthday is on the 21st of Novemeber and the war thing was only for my friend as a joke I was going to change it back ASAP And after I got that message about that I got mad and made that for my girlfriend

[edit] "LUKMAT 16"

Ok sorry I suppose you're right I just want to point out that Minas Tirith is not smaller in the movies than in the book. I just want to repeat what I've already wriiten. Fonstad says in the Atlas of Middle-Earth that the whole city has diameter of 3100 feet, not just the first level. So this information is not correct. The thing with 2800 men that came from the south is in the book (page 753) and in the atlas of middle earth.

[edit] goofs section

Hi, just wondering if you could stop removing the goofs section in the new south park episode without at least referencing a wikipedia policy showing that it doesnt belong there. until then, you are just using personal preference, which is not a good enough reason. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.101.94.34 (talk • contribs).
