[edit] Amazing

I just wanted to say that your edit summaries to French Revolution are astonishingly good. When you're done, I'm going to re-read them all and learn lots about good English grammar, despite speaking it natively! Great stuff, enjoy editing. -Splashtalk 23:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

It's good to have someone around cleaning up Wikipedia's written style. Have I travelled from East to West? I'm not sure what you mean; I'm not from the US. But in the US, yes, actually, I have travelled from New York to California (and most of the way back) on a holiday a few years back. From the 'real' East, no, I've never been there, more's the pity. -Splashtalk 00:04, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

There are no dues required to edit or use Wikipedia. Anyone may use the content provided here for free, subject to the GFDL and anyone may edit here for free as well. Becoming a Wikipedia:Administrator is not too hard; it takes a few months of good editing and easy-going interactions with other users and then you ask at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Admins just have access to a few additional tools that help the business of cleaning up the various parts of the project that need it. They aren't a 'higher' class of editor, and they don't acquire any additional editorial tools, apart from the ability to edit protected pages, but policy prevents them from doing so. Voting in Arbitration Committee elections usually takes place at the end of the calendar year. The 2005 elections were delayed until about a month ago, so you've just missed them. The suffrage requirements were that your account have been around for a couple of months and have a minimal quantity (150) of edits. This is just so that the less-pleasant users are not able to disrupt things by making a rash of new accounts; don't let the requirements put you off. Voting in Foundation elections is done only occasionally now, with the next elections in 2007. Elections are not the way most things are done around here, since we try to rely on consensual decision making rather than voting. But all of that is secondary to actually writing and improving the encyclopedia: without that, everything else would be pretty pointless! -Splashtalk 00:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re Freemasonry

Thankyou.

I'd been reading MQ just before I saw your improvement to the opening paragraphs and thought it would be appropriate to use. RegardsALR 16:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] empty articles

I've just marked a bunch of your articles with {{db-empty}}. If you're going to create an article, I would suggest actually putting something in there other than just {{stub}} so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Here's a list of what I've marked so far, just so you know:

[edit] Another comment on the empty articles

I have tried to expand some of these articles, but I am not a lawyer. Could you please try to expand them further and fix any errors that I may have made? -TruthbringerToronto 19:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked?

Hello. If you've been autoblocked, I need some extra info to be able to help. Please paste the entire block message below. Even better, use the {{unblock}} template along with the message. This way, any other admin may spot this and help as well. Misza13 T C 19:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the information. It was very helpful.Lottamiata 18:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lipník

Thank you for your kind words you e-mailed me. I am also interested in the history of your country, I think researching back your ancestry is quite fascinating. I am ethnic Pole, living in the Czech Republic, in the beautiful town of Czeski Cieszyn. If you prefer contact by e-mail, just let me know. - Darwinek 15:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Association of Members' Advocates

Hi, you are receiving this message because you have listed yourself as an active member of WP:AMA. If you aren't currently accepting inquiries for AMA, or if you have resigned, please de-list yourself from Wikipedia:AMA Members. If you are still active, please consider tending to any new requests that may appear on Category:AMA Requests for Assistance. We're going to put AMA on wheels. :) Sorry for the template spamming - we're just trying to update our records, after we had a huge backlog earlier in the week (if you've been taking cases, then sorry, and please ignore this :)). Again, sorry, and thanks! Martinp23 21:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits made to Scottish Rite

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Lottamiata! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \bexample\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 22:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] listing Masonic Lodge officers

Hi Lottamiata... I don't think we can list all of the different lodge officers beyond the Master and two Wardens ... even Deacons are iffy. There is a HUGE variation of practice between different jurisdictions. Some have Stewards and some don't, some have an Inner Guard and some don't, some have Masters of Ceremonies and some don't... The article is supposed to be general to all jurisdictions. Blueboar 19:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:72 hoyt.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:72 hoyt.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] maximal system

I noticed the maximal system article when an IP editor added what appear to be vanity links to axiomatic system pointing to it. You added categories (a lot of them) to maximal system in February. Can you provide any reference? As it is currently written, the article could be mistaken for unpublished research. CMummert · talk 20:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

No harm has been done. In this situation, I would recommend moving the article to your user space until you add references. With one or more references to reliable sources, the article would be fine. I assume that you are the main author of the article.
To move the article, the easiest thing to do is cut and paste. Click this red link: User:Lottamiata/Maximal system, start the new page, and cut and paste the body of the article there. Then replace then entire body of Maximal system with {{Db-author}}. This will let the janitors know to delete the empty page. Try to find some print references in a month or so, and then you can copy and paste the page back to its old location. CMummert · talk 01:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] your sig in place of mine

Odd how that happened. Now fixed. Rosenbluh

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:72 hoyt.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:72 hoyt.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:18, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion nomination

A tag has been placed on La Bonne Soupe Café, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Lilac Soul 16:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

[edit] Your last edit to History of Freemasonry

While it is apparent to Freemasons that Freemasonry promotes tolerance, we're writing for a general audience, so that statement borders on OR without a source. I for one cannot recall offhand ever seeing that stated clearly in any literature, though I may have overlooked it as a matter of course. Have you got a source for that? MSJapan 05:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured it was along those lines. It's a little too close to synthesis for my liking, as you're really drawing a conclusion based on evidence as opposed to citing a known fact. MSJapan 02:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
