[edit] Sen Katayama
hi.
Sen Katayama Sorry about the mixups, I was changing one to redirect as you were changing the other, then I reverted my changes as you redirected again. I think it's ok now. --ArmadilloFromHell 00:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "an young man from Croatia"
Howdy, I just wanted to drop you a note that there are some really nice guys from Croatia on Wikipedia, even if we count me out ;-) Just so you don't get the wrong impression. --Dijxtra 18:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Russian Dolls (series)
Why do you think it says "series" in the brackets!!?? That was belgium tv-series! Check original article before saying something dumb as that. OK?! Luka Jačov 14:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Me again! First let me apologise i admite i overreacted. I just couldnt understand somebody would post comment without even looking original article. Why even posting that comment when you didnt check it? Did you hear for proverb "First jump then say hop"? Anyway I am also wondering what do you mean by "young man from Croatia of questionable motives"? Btw. I hoped you enjoyed your stay in Croatia and Slovenia. Regards!

[edit] Minnesota
I can see where you are coming form, but I fell things on wikipedia should all look the same and as all the outher countries in the list now are equal and look the same. You sayed people will not know where Faribault is but, for someone that dose not know where it is and that would what to find out all they have to do is hit the Faribault link and they will find out.
What I did was only small but I feel it makes things look nice and neet.
[edit] 10/10
Please do not repost speedily-deleted material. This is considered vandalism and can lead to you being blocked from editing. This article was previously deleted on April 29th 2006. (aeropagitica) 22:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Two things:
- 1) I wasn't reposting anything. Someone at the Grinnell College page requested an article for 10/10, so I wrote it.
- 2) I have read stupid cruft articles about many other colleges and universities, none of which were speedy-deleted, and few of which went through even the normal deletion process. I don't see why 10/10 should not be given the same treatment -- at least in the form of a AfD hearing/whatever. Half of the student body attends this party; I think that constitutes notability, or at least merits a hearing.
- At the very least I would like a copy of the text I wrote. Could you get that for me? If you give me 15 minutes I am sure I could find several pages from other colleges that are far less notable. Then I want an AfD hearing.
- Thank you for writing an accusatory message to me, and thank you for jumping to conclusions about the article. Please contact me through my talk page. ..Zweifel 02:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)..
It was a repost - the previous version was PRODded on April 29th and deleted on May 4th. Your deleted text is now at User:Zweifel/10/10. Don't repost it and go for an AfD, try a deletion review instead. Justifying the existence of one cruft article on the basis of another isn't a good idea - it's better to demonstrate how it conforms to WP:BIO instead. Lastly, sarcasm doesn't come across too well on-screen; see WP:CIVIL for details of conduct, etiquette and protocol. Regards, (aeropagitica) 07:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stadsfries language/Dutch
Please consider translating this article first and then making it public? Better if you do the prelim work in your Sandbox, or make a temp page for it.HeartofaDog 15:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- which you do thus: create as a new page User:insertusernameofchoice/Temp1 or whatever - but work in progress should not be in the article space. HeartofaDog 15:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Seattle
Hey--I lived most of my life in Seattle, and I can vouch for the fact that it rains plenty during the Summer months. Not as much, no, but it's far from dry.
Anyway, I didn't bite the newcomer: I explained my revert. Thank you for understanding the difference. L Glidewell 07:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: The Transformation of Italian Politics, 1990-1996
I don't think people get in trouble for recreating deleted articles, as long as the content is different/better. I certainly won't try to cause any trouble over it. If you do want to create the article in a week and a half I can take the tag off, I'd just rather it was deleted if it's going to be much longer than that. Good luck on your thesis. -P4k 02:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Heavy-handed reversion in Phở
I realize that addition should ideally have citations, but it's easily substantiated through a little web searching. It's a bit heavy-handed so just say "rvv", which means "revert vandalism". If you have concerns about verifiability, mentioning them in the article or my talk page is much more productive than something which could spark a revert war. —Dgiest c 07:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hey man, it's just that the "Phat Phuc Noodle Bar" image is being questioned, and since it is such a perfect image, I wanted to deflect attention from it. I'll make you a deal - we'll restore the "What the pho?" restaurants in two days if you go onto the talk page and vote in support of keeping the image. Or not. But come on, help me out!
- Anyway, uncool thing to do, sorry for that. Zweifel 07:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hostile Edit Comments
I happened to come across this edit comment on the Operation Wetback article. [1] After reviewing your contributions [2] I noticed several other such hostile edit comments on other pages such as the following [3] [4] Please refrain from using such commentaries in the future as I and other administrators may regard them as personal attacks and take the propers steps to stop them. Thank you.--Jersey Devil 16:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] re: Trident Seafoods
Hi There, I notice you have made several edits to this company with negative statements about their business practices. If you want to have those edits remain and not be reverted please provide sources for the statements. I am not saying I disagree with you, just that sources are needed. Comments like these need backing up. Thanks!--killing sparrows (chirp!) 22:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's true. Give me a little while to find some sources, but if I can't, I'll remove them. (Umm, I worked as a temp in the human resources department, so I can personally vouch for both statements, but that violates WP:NOR.) Zweifel 00:06, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
-
- No doubts here. I work for Trident on St Paul Island (I have a pretty easy job and a great boss and we are far away from the Seattle office), but I am certainly no promoter of the company, I just want to see the refs so someone doesn't get pissed about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Killing sparrows (talk • contribs) 00:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Image:PCI symbol.jpg
Hello Zweifel, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:PCI symbol.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Zweifel/Italy1. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 04:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you create this image [[5]] ?
[edit] common sense, please
Parameters now, again, redirects to parameter, and that is as it should be. I've put a disambiguation notice at the top of the article parameter saying For the journal of the U.S. Army War College, see Parameters (journal). That is what you should have done instead of changing the redirect to point to the article about the journal. Obviously most people who link to parameters will intend the usual meaning of that word, and not the name of the journal. Redirects are supposed to help the reader, not to confuse things. Michael Hardy 20:32, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Point well taken. Though it was over a year ago when I created that page. Zweifel 05:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] League of Copyeditors roll call
 |
Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there. The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors. |

[edit] Stage6
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stage6, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Stage6.
