[edit] Thax is awesome.

Thank you for all your work Image:WikiThanks.png --Wulf 00:43, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Wow, thank you Wulf, you are truly a great person. I am humbled. --Thax 18:26, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
lol, your welcome, and thanks :) --Wulf

[edit] New sig

Hmm, i guess my signature was rather long (and the "boxes" were Chinese unicode characters) so changed it to something shorter... and only english =) Cheers! Sasquatcht|c 04:14, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, on my computer it just showed up as a black box, with two gray question marks inside... Gratz on the new sig, it looks cool :) --Wulf 04:39, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge into Bit rate?

Should this be merged into Bit rate? (Drop a note on my talk page if you reply, I will probably forget to check back here... Thanks) --Wulf 04:37, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

We had a similar discussion about kilobit, megabyte, kibibyte, and so on, and decided to keep the articles separate but put a navigational template on them. See Talk:Binary_prefix#Consolidate_all_the_little_articles and other sections after that one. I made a similar navigation template for the bit rates, and I am happy with the way it is. — Omegatron 13:42, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Oh, hi Omegatron :) Thanks Image:WikiThanks.png --Wulf 18:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Zones

Added to WP:TOL talk - Generally no, as they are not very meaningful; a zone 8 oceanic climate such as Shetland is very different to a zone 8 continental climate such as northern Florida, and the plants that will grow in them are completely different. All that the two share is the same winter minimum temperature, nothing else - MPF 00:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I see what you mean, thanks :) --Wulf 03:46, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Honeysuckle Weeks

Is there any reason to think that there will be more episodes of Foyle's War? I'd like to think so, but at the moment the last episodes were produced in 2004. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

They have filmed Foyle's War: Series IV and it is due out November 2005 on ITV according to visithastings.com > Attractions > Foyle's War.
I have no idea about PBS, but I'm sure they'll have it. --Wulf 18:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm not 100% sure what PBS is (though I've got a reasonable idea), but it's good to know about the new series; thanks. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Public Broadcasting Service
You're welcome. lol, I was thinking you were in the US... I'll try to explain it in fewer than a thousand words :P... PBS is an American nationwide non-profit, commercial-free, public broadcast TV network. It has mostly "intellectual" type shows, such as NOVA, Nature, Masterpiece Theatre, Mystery!, Frontline, Scientific American Frontiers, and the like. They also operate NPR radio. They sometimes co-produce programs with the BBC, which eventually show on both PBS, and BBC 4. --Wulf 16:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
How is it funded? Ah, no, it's OK — I've just followed the link to the Wikipedia article. Thanks. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:07, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
No problem :) --Wulf 02:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ken Kutaragi

I'm requesting your opnion about this dispute. Lot of POV-Pushing, the article is currently blocked. --GroundZero 23:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Possessives

The MOS (helpfully) says: "Possessives of singular nouns ending in s may be formed with or without an additional s. Either form is generally acceptable within Wikipedia. However, if either form is much more common for a particular word or phrase, follow that form, such as with "Achilles' heel"." Rmhermen 21:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I've added a reply to your question at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. —Wayward Talk 21:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mayumba National Park

You expressed concern that Mayumba National Park seemed like an advertisement. (of course, the park is a government-run national park like Yellowstone or Banff national parks.) I made some revisions to the article, and I hope that it's okay now. Please make any further revisions that you think are appropriate. TruthbringerToronto 04:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: How do I "kill" mojibake?

I would try going to that mojibake page using Internet Explorer. I beleive that Internet Explorer will inform you of the problem and ask if your would like to download the proper language set for it. I beleive that once it's installed it should work in Firefox as well as the rest of your applications. I'm not too sure though as I don't run Windows very often. Good luck.

[edit] Why did you blank part of an article?

Can you please explain this? Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 00:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Err… Somebody saw that? It was only gone for a few seconds. >.>
I was showing a friend how easy it is to vandalize a Wikipedia article, and why semi-protection is a good idea for high-profile articles. It wouldn’t have been believable if I’d used the sandbox. –Wulf (talk) 01:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Regardless of how quickly it was reverted, its now part of the article's pernament history. Please refrain from anything similar, there's enough real vandalism on Wikipedia that you could probably find an example for someone else fairly easily simply by browsing through a mid to high profile article's history. -- Sabre (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rent to own (or loan to rent)

Thank you for advising of the issues with Rent to own. I didn't really have an interest in that article, I just found it was full of COI. Alan.ca (talk) 02:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem. —Wulf (talk) 07:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RTO Balance questions

I hope this is the right place for discussion. I'm going to violate my own rule about engaging bloggers and ask a few questions and making some comments.

Why is it a conflict of interest to bring some balance to the RTO page? Why is the opinion of consumer advocates any more noteworthy than trade publications? As it exists today, this page could have been written as a press release from Ralph Nader. Is that "balanced?"

An example is the reference to the DODs stance on RTO. You fail to mention that RTO was added to the DOD list only at the request of outside interest groups. The article also fails to mention that DOD revised their view of the industry after doing research. The information can be found on RTOonline, but apparently pro-industry (any industry) material is off-limits in the Wiki universe.

PS: I haven't place a link on the page since I was advised not to do so by you many months ago. The link that is there now is being added by someone else.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply. Griffaw (sorry, not sure how to insert my user info) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Griffaw (talk • contribs) 23:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
