[edit] Wait!
I don't know how to make an AFD, sadly. I just know how to talk at people, place speedy delete tags, and simple things! Help? Anyway, please do talk with me again at some point. You seem like an intelligent fellow. Niki Whimbrel 13:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC) Thank you very much. Now, get back to work! Heck, I'm supposed to be working on a summer school project...

[edit] "Nonsense"
Dear Whoever You Are,
I hope Article 18 of the Human Rights does not seem nonsense to you

[edit] Sergius
As it happens, before it became a nonsense page about some self-proclaimed NN bloke or other, Sergius was a perfectly reasonable dab page. I've reverted it; any further blanking/overwrites by The Office will be blanking vandalism, as was their initial edit. Cheers. Tonywalton | Talk 11:24, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights, indeed! I was just looking at their talk page and having a bit snigger about that! Tonywalton | Talk 11:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- (put here to preserve threading) He may be "serious", in that he believes what he's saying. However the use of capitals and "White" in "ONE BILLION White Christians" kind of says to me that what he believes may have more of a connection to some sort of supremacist agenda than to anything verifiable. I'm willing to stand corrected, of course … Tonywalton | Talk 11:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- That's what he meant by "children of Abraham", I assume. Right up there next to Moishe and Shlomo in the Top 10 list of Jewish names, is Ruaraidh ;-) Tonywalton | Talk 11:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

- Hmmm. Sounds to me like a threat. If he keeps it up our friend The Office might be looking at a ban Tonywalton | Talk 12:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Ah. I missed the bit about legal threats against Wikipedia. The policy on that is clear! Tonywalton | Talk 12:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sigh. It might be worth suggesting he looks at WP:DR before resorting to pseudolegalistic language. Or possibly just ignoring him. Or get an admin involved (I'm not one) Tonywalton | Talk 13:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
On a related note, after watching this saga while newpages patrolling, I've issued a final warning about removing speedy deletion tags to The Office's talk page. The next time he does it, you'll want to report him at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism in accordance with WP:VAND. --FreelanceWizard 11:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem, dude. Thanks for the adress on freewebs.com. Check my updated version of this, if you wish, on: http://www.freewebs.com/metalsonic119/
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 11:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

- And as to this, do you really mean to tell me that the article fails to assert notability? Thanks for all your hard work in NPP - but remember - deleting other people's contributions is serious business, and it's worth thinking twice about each db tag, even at the cost of slowing down. - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- To add to CrazyRussian's comment, the prevailing thought right now is that CSD A7 is only applicable if there's quite literally no assertion of importance. Even saying "X is the editor of his high school newspaper" is a sufficient assertion of import to make an article not meet CSD A7. I think this is because the Proposed Deletion policy allows these to be silently deleted with, ahem, "all deliberate speed." Personally, I think it's an extra step, but you can (and I think should) "prod" articles that are non-notable instead of trying to speedy them. WP:AFD lists some of the notability criteria that are used, but there's little consensus on most of those, and some are extremely contentious (like schools). Oh, and I'm not stalking you or anything -- I just drop by talk pages of people that I've checked now and then, especially if they've been involved in vandal-fighting. Vandals often like to go after userpages and talk pages. --FreelanceWizard 00:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ruaraidh! Thanks for your comments and edits. Actually, I really want people to visit my city. I praise your edits, but I think that the information regarding communication links is quite necessary so that people would approach the city. Whenever the word Gujrat is appeared somewhere, people consider it as the Indian state Gujarat. They don't know that there is some city named Gujrat in Pakistan.I think you must help me spreading the information regarding Gujrat, the city (not Indian province). For this purpose,the communication links' related information is quite mandatory.
Thanks

IT was #2 because it was included in the to-do list for a project template. I don't know how notable it had to be to get on the to-do list. --Garrie 01:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] State Hospital
You may be right, but even if the page itself is deemed invalid it should probably be replaced with a redirect to Psychiatric hospital LapTop006 08:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] At your edits
Thanks Pal! Yes, now I think that I became a bit petriot, while writing about Major. I should not be directional. Later on, I realised that some people, particularly Indians may be annoyed by this note, although nothing rigid was there. I'm still a beginner, and gradually learning. Thanks for guiding me.

[edit] Waulking and milling
Ciamar a tha sibh, Ruaraidh?
I am making the possibly unjustified assumption, based on the waulking page, that you may not know of "milling frolics" as they're called on my native Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. So I thought you might like to see some background from the performance group An Cliath Clis. As the page says, and as my aged parents can attest, both men and women participated in the milling (I've never heard any Cape Bretoner use the term "waulking," for what evidence that might be). OtherDave 18:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Ruaraidh:
"Ciamar a tha sibh? = How are you?" (polite; "Ciamar a tha thu?" would be familiar.)
I don't have the Gaelic either. See my talk page for my just-now restored 'language banner,' and let your cursor hover over it to read the alt text.
I don't know if anyone still holds milling frolics because he really wants to mill some cloth, but they still hold them as a cultural memory. I recall a parade in Inverness, N.S., in 1966; it included a float with a dozen people, men and women, working away at the cloth.
Here's a link to a number of Nova Scotia milling songs (with audio clips) collected by MacEdward Leach. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many of these were known in Scotland 200 years ago. OtherDave 22:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, laddie -- we were tripping over each other's edits... I was fiddling around the same time you were, so I copied my edits to a notepad and came back. Only minor changes (you can see I'm a fan of smaller paragraphs), but I think between us we've done this one proud.
You might enjoy a Cape Breton Ceilidh. Click SONG on the left, then JOIN A MILLING FROLIC at the upper right of the main screen.

[edit] Puirt à beul
Ruairidh: I just moved "Puirt á beul" to "Puirt à beul." My three references say there's no acute-accent A in Gaelic. So now I know how to move a page, and the 'Puirt á beul' link redirects to 'Puirt à beul.' — OtherDave 14:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I hope it's clear I was just letting you know. By the way, my pocket Gaelic-English dictionary (Renton & MacDonald) doesn't have puirt à beul, only port-a-beul (with hyphens, no accent marks) for mouth music. Do we need another redirect? I have no idea how commont that form might be. — OtherDave 21:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou for the explanation.
[edit] hello Ruaraidh-dobson theBlackbay here 1984 is upon us! :)
Help From fellow Wikipedians against censorship!
Thank you for your time I was wondering if i could ask your opinion?? :)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/G. Edward Griffin here is the Article on G. Edward Griffin that I have just reconstructed and am still in the process of doing, But it's been put up for deletion?.
I was wondering if you could pitch in a comment in any direction you feel but I believe this man is very notable having Authored such books as The Creature from Jekyll Island a history of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, but also many many more films as well, also being a member of many organisations.
Me being an inclusionist of sorts I would rather see changes made rather than a wholesale deletion, what do you think?
The man is very notable he has been doing this sort of work since the 60’s when he created the “The Capitalist Conspiracy” one of the first and most documented histories of Political Corruption in film that I know of.
Thank you for all your help, I’m just starting out in Wikipedia I have created the Benjamin H. Freedman, article and reconstructed the The Money Masters article and some others but I need help here! Any help of mine you may need or want in any regard in the future just ask :)
Also any contribution you would like to make to improve the article please consider!
Really i wouldn't ask if i did not really think this article worthy.

[edit] Hypergeometrical Universe
Dear Dobson,
I did not finish the Wikipedia document prior to its deletion, so I don't even remember its state.
That is a different subject from what my theory is about. Someone else in that blog pointed out that five dimensions theory were done before. I don't need to rebut such nonsense. Many four-dimensional theories were done before to explain the Universe with different degrees of success or depth. Mine is five-dimensional like Kaluza-Klein, but unlike Kaluza-Klein, I didn't hack the theory to yield Maxwell's equation and Einstein Relativity, that is, I didn't start from a metric that would recreate what we know.
Instead, I create a theory based on physical hypotheses, introduced a new quantum Lagrangian based on the interference of five-dimensional dilations and with that reproduced standard results from Physics. Two of them, you might consider easy due to their spherical symmetry (Gauss Electrostatics Law and Newton's Gravitational Law). In addition to that I also replicated the Biot-Savart Law, which is a vectorial law with cross products. This should make the theory unique since all the others do not reproduce basic phenomena in Nature. String Theory for instance has no connection to reality, in that respect, Kaluza-Klein was better.
The theory has a non-compact fourth dimension (the radial expansion dimension)where the Universe is said to be traveling at the speed of light. I've consider that unique and with profound implications. The first one being that E=mc^2 would be stored as Kinetic Energy as opposed to being stored in nuclear fields (Gluons etc).
Matter is composed of a single particle (dilator) which is a coherence between two 4-D stationary deformational states. Deformational state is a local modification of the metrics, such that the distance between two points for which a geodesics passes through this deformation is changes. Since there is a coherence, the change in distance is harmonically driven. The coherence is between two states of a 4-dimensional rotating double well. Constraints on its rotational frequency and the tunelling frequency are imposed based on physical arguments.
Everything is novel and original. Proton and Electron are proposed to be the same dilator just out of phase by 180 degrees on the rotational motion.
What else can I say. It seems that nobody read the papers. Someone mentioned that he/she was expecting for the Cosmological Implications. Well, if I tell you that the Univese is traveling at the speed of light perpendicular to 3-D space, that in itself is a Cosmological Implication. This motion is supported by the non-constantness of the Hubble Constant and by the Microwave Cosmic Background (MCB). I proposed that the MCB is Doppler Shifted Gamma Radiation from the Big Bang and explained in simple terms why it is Homogeneous and can be seen in any direction. I did this without suspending all the laws of physics as one does in the Inflation Theory. That is also new and relevant. It is very important when someone comes with an idea that restores common sense to Physics.
Please feel free to rebut, but there are four pdfs on the site http://hypergeometricaluniverse.blogspot.com Please take a look at them and make comments accordingly.
I did not know what I was doing when I started writing at Wikipedia, in terms of procedure, but I did want exactly this review. I wanted someone to read the stuff and say something intelligent. Please don't disappoint me..:)
Cheers,
Marco Pereira
[edit] how do you pronounce ruaraidh??
from holland: how do you pronounce Ruaraidh??
- Basically Roo-ree, though there are little variations. I don't know the IPA though, so I can't really express it properly I'm afraid. The name is Scottish Gaelic, and it means "the red-haired one" (despite the fact that I have brown hair). Ruaraidh-dobson 19:21, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Nekrogoblikon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekrogoblikon_band
I do not think this wikipedia page should be deleted. They are a very talented and rising band. They already have recorded and have a release date for their new cd. I believe that they are very notable and are becoming known throughout the would of metal. I would appreciate it if you could not dlete this page.
[edit] Re: Gujrat
Dear Ruaraidh Thanks for your article on Gujrat city. I am from Pakistan and love to edit some more little bit information on Gujrat article. Please grant me permission , so I can adit it. Unitedequipment 06:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
