[edit] Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up (and adding to) Foedus Cassianum. Hopefully we will get to see it on the front page in the DYK section! Thanks again, Bmrbarre 20:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Now that the article is featured on the front page, I am in debt to you even more. If it hadn't been for your help, I doubt it would be there. Thanks again. You deserve some credit for that. Bmrbarre 21:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Arbitration

Hello, I've decided it's time to ask the Arbitration Committee to help out with the problems around articles such as List of republics, which you've been involved in editing or discussing. There's an opportunity for you to add your comment on whether the case should be heard by the ArbCom, and they'll decide if they want to take it up. --Nema Fakei 00:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spoiler tags

Please note that WP:SPOILER now considers spoiler warnings for film plot summaries to be redundant: "A section header such as "Plot summary," "Detailed summary," or "Synopsis" can be considered a de facto spoiler notice — a synopsis will necessarily describe the entire plot, so there is usually no need to repeat the warning." Thanks. Ward3001 15:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to John Franklin

I am puzzled by your edit to the map caption box in the entry on John Franklin. Franklin never made it to the mouth of the Mackenzie RIver, and the statement of distance doesn't seem related to the function of the map's key in any case. I was going to revert it, but seeing your extensive work on WP, I thought I would leave this message in hopes you'd reconsider the edit. Clevelander96 (talk) 11:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

There wasn't a map in the article I edited. I just copied the map (lock, stock, and barrel) in the Franklin's lost expedition article to the John Franklin article. If the caption is wrong, feel free to edit it in both articles. --Work permit (talk) 13:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for getting back to me. The edit showed up after the map was added to the new page; my mistake. I agree, though, that it is handy to have this map both in the article on Franklin and on his last expedition. Regards, Clevelander96 (talk) 13:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Richthofen's statistics

Just in case you're still interested in this issue!!

I have just spent a happy hour or two editing the "Flying Ace" article - this strikes me as where your bit about Richthofen's statistics really belongs! Seriously, it may make a very useful addition to this article. Cheers --Soundofmusicals (talk) 00:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

I have permit granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

[edit] Siamese revolution

Thank you Work permit for your message! I do not know the Thai designation for the 1688 Siamese revolution, neither do I know the Siamese date for 1688, but, as far as I know, this is the way this event is designated (and dated) in Western literature, so I would think it is the proper way to designate it (and date it) on the English Wikipedia as well. What do you think? PHG (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Siamese revolution (1688)

Updated DYK query On 6 June 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Siamese revolution (1688), which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--BorgQueen (talk) 16:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On 13 June 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Medieval Bulgarian Army, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
