[edit] Ezzelino III da Romano

hey! Thanks for your post on Ezzelino da Romano. You were probably referring to me as "the one who is not confortable with English". Of course, I'm of Italian tongue... Why don't you edit it and improve the language? Let me know. Attilios 22:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mafia remark

I don't know why you're talking to me about the Mafia page - if I've done anything to it it would only be minor proofing edits, I've certainly not added any content to it. I have concentrated on Mafia articles that clearly needed cleaning up, and I have only used reputable sources to do so. If you don't like what's in the Mafia page then do something about it, it's nothing to do with me. C i d 14:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Federalist Party

Steven- You might notice that the Democratic-Republican party was, during its existence, referred to as the Republican Party. You might also notice that I didn't change the link (which was to Democratic-Republican Party (United States), not to the modern Republican Party.) You also do not need a history degree to be a bit polite when leaving a message on a user page. Regards, Paul 20:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Please note that I redirected an article you started, Graduated income tax, to Progressive tax, which is an already extant article that covers virtually the same topic. I did not do this for any personal reason or for retaliation, so please do not take it that way. Paul 20:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Distinction between Fair Tax & National Sales Tax

Report from FairTax Talk... Thanks for pointing that out.

It should be noted that the National sales tax should not redirect to the FairTax as the "FairTax" is just one very specific proposal created by a specific group of people and is only a type of National sales tax. Stevenmitchell 09:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It should be a disambiguation page. I'll try to find a description and look to see if we have any other National sales tax plans on wikipedia. Morphh 13:08, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

For the moment, I've redirected this to the Sales tax page as it was more appropriate. This page discusses a National sales tax more generically and includes information about the FairTax in the last paragraph. Morphh 18:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Censorship

I'm just curious, I was surprised to the the United States listed as one of the example countries which does not allow the publication of websites that promote certain views. Am I reading this wrong, or is there more information I need so I can understand this? Jfiling 23:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: 5,000th Edit

I am not sure I know what you mean. I have many more than 5,000 edits (which only mildly interests me because I'm not an edits whore, and I have no aspirations to be an admin). Why do you say that Wikipedia says I only have 500 since March 6? (I actually have 500 since June 27 at the moment)--Esprit15d 13:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Primerica Financial Services

The edits to the Primerica Financial Services article were intended to fix errors and inaccuracies in the history of Primerica. The previous versions of the article focused mainly on Travelers history, not Primerica's.

If you have insight into Primerica illegalities, please feel free to edit the article.Primerica 18:45, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not enter in my page with empty leftist rhetoric

I live in a warring country, you do not. I risk my life by mere being in my homeland, you do not. I am in touch with Islam on a daily basis, you are not. Judge (and speak) only when you know all the facts and not out of politically-correct (and factually wrong) stereotypes. They will remain stereotypes and they will remain wrong no matter how many times they are repeated and no matter who repeats them. Because the truth is objective. Please read the Quran and the Hadithes first and do not waste my time. Though I am a staunch atheist and believe that all religions should be marginalized, I can say for sure that "Eye for an Eye" rule is not a violation of Golden Rule in any way. Golden Rule in its Jewish interpretation states: "do not do unto others things you do not want to be done unto you". It is a proactive rule, whilst Eye for an Eye is a reactive rule. When the harm is done it should be punished. Golden Rule is not an excuse for absense of punishment for a crime that already has been done. If you can't see this simplest difference, that shouldn't be my problem. And the least thing I want is to discuss this stuff with Western leftists. It has caused me enough distress for the last 6 years and I am not in a mood to continue this, especially after the latest f***ing war. Wanted to cancel my talk page to avoid these cases of forced discussion but the system fires it back every time. So please refrain from this in the future. --Aleverde 18:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ooops

Sorry, It was a mistake and I have cleared the warning message. Thank you for letting me know. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 09:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] University

Hi, Please see my reply to your post on the Talk:Takshashila University page. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 20:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] university of wollongong in dubai

u left a comment on my talk page asking why i live in UAE. I am not in UAE by choice.. I'm sorta stuck here with no where else to go. ironically enough, the locals here do whatever they please and tell the expats "if you don't like it, then leave" Shakespeare Monkey 09:31, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that you are stuck there with no place to go. What do you mean by "the locals here do whatever they please"? Stevenmitchell 13:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] University?

Hi Steve, I've replied to your post on the Takshashila University Talk page. To be honest, (as I say there), I'm not even sure why that page exists, since everything there already appears on the Taxila page. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 21:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the name of the page to Takshashila centre of learning. As I say on the talk page there, the evidence that it was not a university was overwhelming. Regards, Fowler&fowler «Talk» 22:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

in the Apollo article, you added these words to the description of the oracle at Delos: "and was provided by a priestess". unfortunately, i can't parse what you might have meant by this, and the addition makes no grammatical sense. could you please clarify that addition? thanks in advance.

[edit] Eric Rosenfeld

Sorry, I can see you are a decent editor. Finish it off first- I reccomend writing articles in a personal sandbox in future, so that something like this doesn't happen again. J Milburn 19:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Erm, seeing as you didn't finish it off, I have tagged it for deletion. J Milburn 01:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Next time please do not delete something while I am working on it... I got the following message when I went to save it:

User Wknight94 (talk) deleted this article after you started editing it, with a reason of:

Stevenmitchell 02:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

As J Milburn said above, that article was sitting in a non-article state for over 24 hours. If you're going to leave them for that long, you should use a sandbox area (like my User:Wknight94/Stuff In Progress page). If you'd like the content that was deleted, let me know and I'll restore it to your user area. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bernardsville, New Jersey

A reminder, when adding notables, put them in alphabetical order (unless some other order is indicated), add a capsule bio and (most importantly) provide a source to demonstrate a connection between the notable and the community. See the Bernardsville, New Jersey for an example. Alansohn 01:29, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uniroyal

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Uniroyal. It is considered vandalism. If you think an article should be deleted, please use deletion process, in stead of blanking the page. Od Mishehu 05:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Mishehu, you should clarify words describing my actions... I merely removed the REDIRECTION link to Uniroyal since the company you were pointing United States Rubber Company to has been extinct for 40 years. It was my intention to add a new entry for Uniroyal that listed current information as the posting for U.S. Rubber doesn't include current information of the last 30 years or so, such as the company's ownership by Michelin... But, hey, you may think that give or take 40 years is up-to-date. I just thought it was highly misleading information and deserved its own separate entry that would incorporate the history of US Rubber since its origins pertain to your REDIRECTION, but not its evolution since that time... I still believe it deserves it own entry... Regards, Steve Stevenmitchell 21:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Removing a redirection (rather than replacing it with an article or a disambig page) is still vandalism. Once you have an article to put there, you can replace the redirect with it. Od Mishehu 09:03, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Stevenmitchell! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.
