Transrapid

Please tell me why you redirected Transrapid/German to Transrapid. The translation was still clearly in progress, and they were not similar. The article in translation is hugely more comprehensive. Also, it renders the template, directing readers to the translation in progress, rather useless. I have reverted. If you intend on disputing this, feel free to do so here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Transrapid/German. martianlostinspace 23:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Well reminded. Ta.martianlostinspace 23:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 15:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:N

Since it was you that first made me see the reason why we need notability guidelines, I thought you might be interested in commenting on the ongoing debate at WT:N. The policy is now pretty close to being abolished, and I'm one of the only users defending it; a lot of inclusionists seem to be making comments such as "We don't need notability, as long as an article is sourced and verifiable". I used to follow that line of thought, but I now think notability is essential for articles, and to provide an objective standard for the AfD process - I'd appreciate it if you could add your thoughts. Walton Vivat Regina! 11:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, although I think it's a pity; with the temporary departure of Elaragirl, there seems to be a shortage of "iron deletionists" remaining on Wikipedia. As a result of the inclusionist consensus that's developing over there, it looks like WP:N may be abolished soon and replaced with Badlydrawnjeff's proposed guideline at Wikipedia:Article inclusion, which is purposefully soft and vague. Not to mention that changing the name of a key guideline is going to confuse everyone. Walton Vivat Regina! 14:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Category rename

So you know, a category you created has been proposed for renaming at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 March 8#Category:Psychics. --Milo H Minderbinder 13:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:UW future?

Hi Pascal,

Sorry for the blatant spam, but you have yourself down as interested at WikiProject user warnings WP:UW. There is a discussion on going here that might be of interest to you about the future of this project. There are two strawpolls on the talk pages and the second one is about the future of the WP:UW project. Now we have the end in sight we are looking at wrapping up the project and merging it with Template messages/User talk namespace WP:UTM and creating a one stop shop for all userspace templates. As you have yourself down as interested in this project we thought you may have some input on this issue, and would like you to visit the discussion and give any thoughts you may have on the matter.

AfD nomination of Finda

An editor has nominated Finda, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Finda (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Civility

I know, but unless someone of power tells me to stop, I'm going to keep the Atwater page with green and white, not anything else. Sarah Goldberg 11:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Matter is now the Core Topics COTF

 You showed support for Matter at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics/Core topics COTF. This article was selected as our collaboration of the fortnight. Hope you can help.

Thanks, Walkerma 05:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my RFA; I don't believe it would have succeeded without comments such as yours. CMummert · talk 02:35, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Episode summaries.

While I agree with you that your edits are in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines, I find them to be silly. (The guidelines). But why don't you go ahead and try to make redirects of Category:Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes while you're at it? I'm sure the authors of the articles won't mind. Regards, --Nyp 09:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

RfA

Thank you for your support. Your input on the protection of vulnerable pages problem was, I am sure, absolutely vital in our obaining a change in policy on these articles.--Anthony.bradbury 00:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

KOF character articles.

Please cease adding Template:Move to gaming wiki to KOF character articles. I have managed to bring both Angel (The King of Fighters) and May Lee up to WP:GA status, and they serve as examples that these kind of articles do belong on Wikipedia. Also, the template you are using implies that the articles are focused on how to play the character (in other words, are game guides), which they don't.--SeizureDog 11:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

RfA

Thank you. I was actually trying to make life easier for User:Gwernol, who had offered nomination but is, I understand, busy elsewhere at present. Such is life.--Anthony.bradbury 17:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support.--Anthony.bradbury 19:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Mimicry Dayanand

As you expected, it was indeed a typo in the name. He is a popular mimicry artist as well as a Kannada language film actor in Indian state of Karnataka. I have copyedited a bit and added couple of categories and karnataka-stub tag. Hope it gets developed in future. Thanks. - KNM Talk 16:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Sig

I appreciate your concern, but it's my signature and I like it. It's a representation of something I'm apart of. I changed it to something less awhile ago and was questioned on why I changed it then. It's toned back from what it once was trust me. I'm sorry it bothers you, it isn't my intention, but it's my preference and if I'm breaking some Wiki rule or guideline then I'd be happy to adjust myself in accordance with those rules, but I can't see myself bending constantly to people that just dislike my preference for signature colors. Also, the very thing you pointed out is something that I actually like, and that's the fact that I can find myself in a maze of discussions much easier if I know what I look like. Again, I apologize if it bothers you.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Jujube's RFA

You're probably right, it definately wasn't my intention to insult you in any way, only to discuss ideas and help the opposer consolidate his opinion in the views of others, and most importantly, the 'crats. It's a pet peeve of mine when anybody tries to forcibly persuade someone out of their opinion, which i'm sure wasn't your goal, but reacting to whenever it's possibly seen as someone "bullying" still is in my nature, and I think what you said could have been seen that way by a small minority.

I'm fine with moving the comments to the talk age or dropping the conversation altogether. Just H 18:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Great! I guess we were just doing the same thing in different ways, I thank you for reaching out to me, and hope in the future we can both help each other to make the project better! Just H 18:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Will do, i'm thinking maybe June or so, and aiming for 500-1000 edits a month until then, i'm at around 8,000 now. Just H 19:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Just one more thing, you deserve this for your actions on the Jujube RFA and my talk page. You're an asset to Wikipedia, and i'm glad i've met you Just H 19:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
lol. Ok, i'll try to get 1,000 some weekend or something. I go alot of welcomes, I get I could get 1,000 in a day :-) Just H 19:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my recent successful RfA. We will doubtless meet at thge Pump again in the future.--Anthony.bradbury 10:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
