[edit] Mercosur Project

Since we are the only two participants, we have to work to get more people to the project and working on the pages about Mercosur and Mercosur countries. Chico 15:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for joining it. I was beginning to think noone was interested. Let's get to work then :) --Wesborland 22:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boeing aircraft articles

No problem. I'm sure you were well-intentioned. However, I think that many images of a relatively low-key airline were probably not necessary, particularly when many of the images really were no better than those that were already in place. In fact, one was too low-resolution to use, in my estimation. (I think it was 275 horizontal pixels.) —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 01:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cigarette/Uruguay Edits

Hey, just wanted to say that I liked your edits (especially the citations) to the Cigarette article! Nice job! Nemilar 18:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Was that a real complement or were you just trying to make a sarcastic comment about the name of the country? --Wesborland 18:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry, Firefox didn't catch that spelling. It was a complement, I assure you. I've fixed the spelling, I didn't mean to offend.

Also, if you would please take a look at the discussion on the Talk:Cigarette#Smoking Bans page, I would really appreciate your input. Thanks! Nemilar 19:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

That's ok. I asked because some time ago someone thought it would be funny to go to the Uruguay article and change it to U r gay (I guess he was a big fan of The Simpsons).--Wesborland 21:39, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hangon

You can't add a {{hangon}} tag to an AfD. Please visit the AfD discussion and present your reasoning as to why this film article should be kept. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 17:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Any particular reason you vandalized my user page? Corto 21:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

You don't have one. ~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 21:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

You, or someone with access to your credentials, did add 29k of nonsense to my talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Corto&oldid=106398489) yesterday (Feb 7). Corto 14:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My concern about your username (James Hetfield)

Hello, James Hetfield, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

James Hetfield is actually the name of the Metallica frontman as you likely know, though using the name of a well known person isn't deemed appropriate unless you are that famous person.

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• If you decide to just go ahead and change your username, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under the new username: simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism (WP:AIV), or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at WP:RFC/NAME. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- LuciferMorgan 09:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi LuciferMorgan, I didn't know you could actually change your username after you registered. In fact, this is my old account (which I believe now redirects to my new one). My first choice was just Hetfield, but that username is already taken. If I can change my username, then I guess I should delete this account and keep editing with my old one. Any suggestions for a new username? ~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 21:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner... no I don't have any. All I can say is that Wesborland also may be borderline as it's the name of the ex Limp Bizkit guitarist, unless you are that person, the same as the James Hetfield problem. So my advice is to make sure you don't adopt the name of a famous person (unless you're that famous person) - you can keep editing with the old one if you wish and request a username change though. LuciferMorgan 18:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I've blocked Wesborland as that's also the name of a famous person. I'm proposing to block James Hetfield shortly. Please think of a new user name which isn't the name of somebody famous :) --kingboyk 20:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mercosur

Yeah I am still interested, I am not having a lot of free time to edit in wikipedia tough... I'll try to get people from the mercosul's countries projects to enter the mercosur projectChico 21:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smoking bans by country

Smoking bans by country... South Australia is a country now? How about

==Australia==
===ACT===
===New South Wales===
===NT===
===Qld===

etc. Garrie 04:05, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The whole article was originally part of the cigarette article. I hadn't noticed that. As a matter of fact, I don't know anything about Australia, so if it's wrong feel free to edit it :) --~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 17:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

If you dragged it out of cigarette then I'm not about to change it - I thought it may have been your own creation... Garrie 04:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aviation Newsletter delivery

The March 2007 issue of the Aviation WikiProject newsletter has been published.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sex and intelligence‎

Rather than calling for deletion I think the best thing to do is add more information to this article to help improve it. I tried to do this, even nominating this article for the WP:GS monthly collaboration and adding graphs that show the impact of stereotypes. But I feel I'm working alone in improving this article. Will you join me in this project? futurebird 22:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I just thought the topic would be better as part of a larger subject. I'll join the project and give you a hand ;) --~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 22:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DST map now looks bad in my browser

Your recent change to Daylight saving time causes the page to look fairly ugly in my browser. I created a discussion topic "Map should not collide with table of contents" for this; could you please follow up there? Thanks. Eubulides 19:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice job on Boeing Infobox

That looks great...do you intend to do one with Boeing's military aircraft? Akradecki 01:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not really into military aviation, but I could give it a try. --~ ~ James Hetfield (previously Wesborland) ~ ~ 01:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It's just that we try to have a consistent look across the Aircraft project, and yours is a break from the standard. That in itself isn't a bad thing, if it is consistently used with all Boeing aircraft. Akradecki 02:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please choose a new account name (not of a famous person!) to continue editing Wikipedia

Your account with this username has been blocked indefinitely because the username may be rude or inflammatory, unnecessarily long/confusing, too similar to an existing user, contains the name of an organization or website, contains the word Wikipedia or the name of any other Wikimedia Foundation project, or is otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username. Wikipedia:Username policy provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may appeal on your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.

If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions:

1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked.
3. You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request on Wikipedia:Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to create a new account. --kingboyk 13:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Allowing username change to Nick1987 (talk • contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Request handled by: Yamla 14:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attempted impersonation???

Hi, James Hetfield! An IP address recently editied Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Foreign relations with this edit, affixing the {{user}} tag on its comment. I don't know if this is your own IP or not; if it is, I encourage you to contact me with username James Hetfield so that we can arrange a steward to remove these edits if you're concerned about privacy. If you don't own the IP in question, then you can notify admins at WP:ANI and they can deal with the situation. Thank you.--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 01:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

oops...I didn't see that you were blocked. Sorry about the mixup!--Ed ^{¿Cómo estás?} 01:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Austral Líneas Aéreas Flight 2553

Hello. You've listed this article twice on WP:PNT. What exactly on this article do you think requires translation? Everything's in English as far as I can see... Regards, Húsönd 13:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

What's everything? The article is empty. If you click on edit page you will see the part that needs translation between <!-- X --> --Hetfield1987 (Wesborland | James Hetfield) 22:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] United States-South America relations

A tag has been placed on United States-South America relations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall ^talk 23:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of redirecting this page to the existing article United States-Latin American relations. Your contributions can still be found here if you and to add some of that material to the other article. Thanks. --Finngall ^talk 17:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bush edits

Please remember to mark your edits, as you did to George W. Bush as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thank you.

Also - this edit summary doesn't make clear why you removed a phrase that has been standing in the article for a while, with its citation. And see Talk:George W. Bush for comments about the South American trip sub-section. Thanks Tvoz |talk 22:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of info box

You might not have meant to but you removed the info box on the George Bush article. Every president has one and there's no concensus to do do. Please discuss it on the talk page. Cheers.--Dakota 02:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'll leave the infobox alone. It's just that I'm trying to reduce the article's size to 70 kb and therefore looking for irrelevant things to remove. I have been reverted a couple of times for some erroneous removals but other than that a lot of barely-relevant info is gone and at least the article is not 110 kb long like it was before. --Hetfield1987 (Wesborland | James Hetfield) 02:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Please read what is being said on the talk page. The article was never 110K of readable prose, and it is well below 70K, as has been explained several times. And there are no rules about length, just guidelines. The article does not need to be cut down, and the changes you have been making are just making work for other editors when they have to reinstate language. Please respect consensus - if you have changes you think are needed for reasons other than the length of the article - which is a non-issue - then bring them up on Talk. But please stop what you've been doing. Several editors have asked you to work constructively on this article and accept that cutting is not needed. If you have other reasons for your cuts, then I suggest you express them, on the article Talk page. Tvoz |talk 22:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] April 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from George W. Bush. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Real96 23:03, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Join our project

Thank you for your recent contributions to one of Wikipedia's Mercosur articles. Given the interest you've expressed by your edits, have you considered joining the Mercosur WikiProject? It's a group dedicated to improving the overall quality of all Mercosur articles.
Hetfield1987 (Wesborland | James Hetfield) 18:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the invitation. I'm not sure which of my recent contributions you were referring to, but to be honest, I had not heard of Mercosur until just now. I don't think I can make any special contribution to Mercosur articles. While I am grateful for your invitation, I must humbly decline. --Selket ^Talk 23:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Same for me, except for part of heard about Mercosur. Yours truly — Guilherme ^(t/c) 23:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{Montevideo-stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:50, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Telecommunications Complex

Telecommunications Complex, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Telecommunications Complex satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Telecommunications Complex and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Telecommunications Complex during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Rjd0060 18:37, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uruguay

Hi there. You seem to be the most committed member of the WikiProject:Uruguay, so I thought I'd message you as well as leaving it there. I recently nominated the Uruguay article for GA status, but it was declined. Turns out it's going to be rather more difficult to get up to standard than I expected, and I'm just appealing for help. The reviewer has left some very helpful comments on the Talk page if you'd care to check it out. --Matthew Proctor (talk) 00:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barrio Sur

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Barrio Sur, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Barrio Sur is a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project (CSD A2).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Barrio Sur, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 14:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barrio Sur

A tag has been placed on Barrio Sur, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Barrio Sur. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

The tag {{translate}} is meant for pages that do not exist in other wikipedias. Please, put the template {{Translation}} on the talk page and follow the instructions.  Andreas  ^(T) 14:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
