So idk if we could work something out and possibley get them back so I could finish them up. Anything would be nice. Thank you for your time and good bye.

[edit] NewPOS

I have a software product that I want to have posted on Wikipedia. The content I posted tells of the software, what it does and how it works. How can I list this properly? Jamesam45 16:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)Cory2

[edit] Nicholas Lamont Robertson

I just wanted to mention you might have been better off with the {{db-nonsense}} template rather than the attack one you used. It wasn't clearly an attack, at least in my eyes. Do you agree?

Perhaps. Cursed vandals. :D --Theunicyclegirl 20:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Reminiscence

I removed the speedy tag you added to A Reminiscence and replaced it with {{copy to wikisource}}. They don't have any of Anne Brontë's poetry, so a transwiki seems better than outright deletion. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] you're right

[edit] Cleanup templates

Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "unreferenced", "fact", "cleanup" etc., are best not "subst"ed. See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 12:20 20 June 2007 (GMT).

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 18 July 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Shuguang spacecraft, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Nice job with the Watergate Scandal

I have been doing a lot of work lately on articles related to the Watergate Scandal. I have been feeling very much alone in this effort as many of the important ones have not been contributed to in any significant manner in over a year. If you are a fan of this subject and interested in working together in cleaning up some of these articles, I would love some help. If not, thanks again for your time. All the best... Ukulele 02:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! If you have a moment, take a look at the talk page for the Watergate Burglaries, specifically this section. This article may be a good place to start, as it is referenced as the main article for the Watergate break-in section of June 17, 1972 on the main Watergate article, yet the only information present is a reference to it and the date. User Hnsampat has also recently expressed an interest in this problem. If you haven't taken to the bottle after reading that article and the talk page, then perhaps you could suggest some clean-up and organizational ideas for the main Watergate article, on which I have been lately trying to clean up. There are so many individual articles about this complex event and many of them completely lack citation of sources. I have a pretty decent library on Watergate and will slowly be adding missing cites, and tweaking articles here and there. If there is a specific aspect of the scandal you find most interesting, I would be happy to meet you there-- most likely it at least needs some citations :) Ukulele 04:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks GhostPirate. I have really thrown down the gauntlet with this challenge. I would greatly appreciate any help for which you may have time. All the best, Ukulele 06:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Good catch with adding the {{main|United States Senate Watergate Committee}} to the Senate Investigation Section on the Watergate article. Ukulele 21:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow! I love the lead image to the Watergate article. I didn't realize how naked it looked before. Thanks for adding the statement and citation regarding the criticism of Ford's pardon of Nixon and the political consequences for Ford. I also liked the way you wrapped up the section with Ford's justification of his pardon. I feel that one could make a strong argument that history indeed agrees that it was just a matter of when Ford would have to Pardon Nixon. His choice of doing before it furthered our national nightmare was, with the benefit of hindsight, a wise decision, with bad consequence for Ford. I will endeavor to find a good cite or two to add to this important statement. You have seriously tightened up the ==Pardon and Controversy== section! I may reinforce with another cite from Ford's autobiography, and I am desperately trying to lay my hands on the official record of [Ford's Testimony at the House Judiciary Committee investigating Nixon's Pardon] to add to the citations-- it may be overkill, but I feel compelled to keep the main article tight and well referenced. I will leave it to better copy editors to prune and asg.

[edit] What do you think is wrong?

Hi, I'm Homestar1936, and you flagged the article Mockingboid for deletion. I want to know what's wrong with it so I can change it to the public's needs. I'm not trying to promote myself or anything along those lines, and www.weeklymessengeronline.com itself is owned by me, and is non-profit.

Minutes Later- Thanx for reconsidering dude. I would nominate you if I knew how.
