Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;

If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 22:41, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi there. Lawyers are freaking out over your Roy_Neuberger article, and have filed a VfD. I am not kidding you.

My guess for "quantify ethical anm outcomes" in that context is "quantify ethical and moral outcomes". Does that seem right? I would fix it but I am seeing the "can't contact database server" message, and getting only a cache copy. EofT

Re Asities/Asites, don't forget about the Move-page feature. This moves a page to a new title, and preserves the edit-history.

I've redirected for you, in any case :) Dysprosia 06:00, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Hi, glad to see someone else taking an interest in the bird topics. I've reverted the Asites move for the following reasons:

both plurals are more-or-less equally common
The standard text is called Broadbills and Asites
The new page was an orphan, not linking to anything, including the old page, and would not have shown in eg passerine

Hope this is OK, jimfbleak

Hi, me again

The bird article taxonomy is based on Handbook of Birds of the World and, for southern species, Hanzab. You will appreciate that we need to have a consistency for taxonomy, otherwise all sorts of different listings will occur. Obviously you may not agree with the current taxonomic choices, but if not it needs to be discussed with User:Tannin, User:Big iron, User:Cordyph and other bird article writers. I hope this is OK.

ignore above, I've just realised you were just correcting errors, my apologies and thanks.

jimfbleak 06:25, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

When I read your Madam Hooch article, I did not know that this was about the Harry Potter stories until I followed a link. That is wrong, you should have begun by informing us of that. You cannot assume that people come to your article from another article about those stories (I, in particular, did not). Also, you wrote only a dictionary definition rather than a complete sentence, and did not highlight the name Madam Hooch. 67.4.150.5 14:30, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

You can use the ~ (tilde) feature to sign your name to talk pages. If you type ~~~ (three tilde), it will translate to [[User:username|nickname]] when you save the page. If you type ~~~~ (four tilde), it will translate to [[User:username|nickname]] Date when you save the page. Cheers, Cyan 18:09, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)

P.S. Don't include the <nowiki></nowiki> tabs; that's what went wrong on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. Cyan

Wiwaxia - Martin Yan was born in Guangdong, China, so am fairly sure he is Chinese. Fuzheado 09:11, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I'm curious about your claim about DiCaprio on the Lesbigay page. What is its source? FearÉIREANN 19:19, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I found out from personal connections with DiCaprio. Wiwaxia 19:24, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

-) So is he gay or bi? Having had the experience in the last two years of being hit on by two rather big name actors visiting Ireland (one who refuses to talk about his sexuality and one who has the reputation of sleeping with half the women in Hollywood) I can well believe it. One producer told me once that if you list all the hyped up heterosexuals actors, famous for having sex with women, half are actually gay and use their womanising for cover. He said the trick to spotting the gay 'heterosexual' is to see whom he sleeps with. If they are all actresses, then they are gay. The 'story' is being used by either or both to hide their true sexuality and to promote themselves. Only if they are sleeping with people unconnected with the industry and so with no reason to pretend can you really believe they did actually have sex and it was not the manufactured story of a PR agent or an 'act' being played to script by two professional performers. FearÉIREANN 20:03, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Interesting. We could find out for a lot of people that way. He's actually gay. Well, it turns out Leonardo has no interest in girls at all. Good thing we're keeping it on this page. If the world found out my little secret I'd get piles of 12-year-old girls hounding me for his email address and current whereabouts. Or, maybe, after reading the news, they wouldn't. Kind of like the way they reacted after burning for Ricky Martin for months and months.

All fascinating stuff! However I just dropped by to say thanks for all the interest you've taken in Sperm Whale. The article is much better for it. Pete 12:32, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hi there, Wiwaxia. I'm curious why you reverted my change of Decagon so as to include the gratuituous reference to Horace Donisthorpe by User:80.225.79.69? Now the main thing you find if you go to Decagon is a strange digression: decagon => the shape of pedicels => ants have pedicels => pedicels can differentiate certain ant species => according to British Ants..." => written by Horace Donisthorpe who was an expert on ants... Thanks, Bcorr 00:19, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I was editing for some spelling and linking corrections, when I got to an edit conflict, and I decided that just a blank space was less helpful than more information in place of that blank space, which would have rendered all my editing irrelevant anyway, so I just hit the "Send" button instead of fixing an edit conflict where we wouldn't lose anything. But shouldn't a Decagon article talk about decagonality -- all the ways decagonality is useful, just as occurring in nature in the pedicel of a certain ant? Can we find other important examples of decagonal things? Wiwaxia 00:31, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, Wiwaxia. My sense is that Decagon should just go live in the Wikipedia and let it be a simple definition of a decagon -- unless someone out there has something encyclopedic to say about a simple ten-sided polygon. Thanks again, Bcorr 01:10, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Holy Zounds Batman!

I'm curious, where do you get the notion that "zounds" isn't obscure. I know you can't have gotten such an interpretation from the OED, since I just consulted it to verify my original characterization. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo-stick 01:44, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I've heard and seen it way too often to be obscure . . . the word even popped up in a cartoon in a "TV Smart" book my mother bought us kids back when I was nine. Hey, does anyone remember the TV Smart book? That would be a good thing to have a Wikipedia article on. In fact, when I first saw the title at VfD, I thought it was an article on the interjection rather than on some band . . . just like the article we got on bloody. Wiwaxia 02:07, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Why did you erase Daniel Quinlan's comments on VfD [1]? I know it was a non sequitur, but it's bad form to just erase it. -- Cyan 04:45, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I originally cut it out when I was looking for a proper place to reinsert it. I hope no one would want extra votes to count in favor of deleting the nickname article when they were listed at different article headings completely? Does this look better to you? Wiwaxia 16:48, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Much, thanks. It might be a better procedure to simply inform the author of the comments that they don't appear to be in the right place. That way, there's less chance that some pushy person such as myself will come and harrass you. ;-) Cheers, Cyan 22:12, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I wondered that too. I have reinserted it. Angela 15:50, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I think I've unblocked the IP number in question, but it's the first time I've tried doing this since there were a couple of tweaks to the system, so let me know if you get any problems again. --Camembert

What's the problem? You get accidentally caught by a block on Michael? Evercat 12:51, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Oh, this was the third time. My server through AOL seems to waver in its IP number all the time. And occasionally it will waver onto the "wrong" number, and -- zap!! -- Michael! Michael hasn't vandalized recently, has he? Can't you unblock all the anonymous number addresses (as opposed to Michael screennames like "Eddie") in order to stop this from happening? Who knows what valuable, long addition the Wikipedia might lose someday because someone was logged into the wrong IP number at the wrong time? (See the Village Pump for my original complaint). Wiwaxia 21:20, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Hello, regarding your capitalisation of bombyliid - this is not necessary. The word is not a taxon, simply an adjective derrived from a taxonomic name. So although Bombyliidae must be capitalised, bombyliid (or phorid, pimelodid, vampyromorphid, or whatever it may be) does not. Not terribly important, but I thought I should mention it. 80.255 06:54, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Are you talking about the change from this to this? I thought that was what I did. So how did I get it wrong? Wiwaxia 07:19, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Sorry - perhaps it was! Must be up too late and not thinking straight - you're absolutely right. Ignore the above! 80.255 07:22, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

You were absolutely correct about List of Caucasian people needing to have a capitol C. I don't know who moved it to the lowercase version. -Nydigovoth

I moved your comment out of the archive and onto my talk page as I prefer to keep things in a chronological order. I have also replied to you there. Angela 17:16, Oct 30, 2003 (UTC)

Wiwaxia, Ark30inf has left. See Missing Wikipedians. Angela 22:40, Oct 31, 2003 (UTC)

Wiwaxia, Hi, thanks for copyeditting the Spectacled Porpoise and Chilean Dolphin articles. They sore needed it and as you are no doubt aware (!) and I was just too slovenly to get round to doing it myself - prefering to hack on with lots of other cetacean species articles... (see Related Changes for cetacea if you can bare to sort out any more of my grammar!!) Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 14:32, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Several days ago you joined the discussion of whether Brunswick or Braunschweig should be the home of the article on the German city. After a brief discussion, the question was moved from the Votes for deletion page to Talk:Brunswick. Quite a bit of fact-finding has occurred since then, but the decision appears to have reached an impasse. Could I ask you to take a few minutes to review the facts presented on Talk:Brunswick and share your current thoughts? Thanks. Rossami 22:26, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

If Chupacabra were to be listed, I'd vote for deletion, yes. Bmills 14:33, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Wow, that's a long name for someone with only one (very small) edit!

Size matters not, to a Jedi. ;) Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair! 09:28, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Regarding your changes to Willie Brown. Please look at the record: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Willie_Brown&diff=2897441&oldid=2897434 . The first line of your addition was a bit of nonsense, followed by a series of carriage returns. I assume none of this was intentional now, but at the time, it looked like vandalism. Please know that the spelling of "succeeded" was corrected and his birthdate re-added. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Moncrief 21:35, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)

'One is the loniest number' is familiar, now that you mention it.. but I have never heard of Three Dog Night myself. Actually I'm sure I have heard of more 'One'ses, apart from Metallica and U2... but I cant think of any! --Chuq 00:42, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Re: Dionne Warwick's death being greatly exaggerated. Yeah, she's alive... I was probably drunk when I wrote that... Tuf-Kat 17:55, Apr 25, 2004 (UTC)

The page on Ugli fruit that you started appears to have been rewritten as a POV advertisement, incidentally removing the actual description of the fruit. Just a heads up. 162.40.183.110 12:18, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Malicious Deletion Attempt

Hello. Sorry for the imposition, but I thought you might be interested to note that an article you supported in the past on vfd has been listed again under malicious circumstances - the 3rd such attempt in 7 months. Please feel free to review the discussion and cast your vote as you feel appropriate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Atlantium --Gene_poole 10:31, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Nomination for article un-deletion

Hello. I noted your recent support for the Empire of Atlantium article on VfD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Atlantium The most recent VfD resulted in 19 people (40%) voting to retain vs 29 (60%) voting to delete. Despite the fact that the count was fully 9 votes short of achieving a 2/3 consensus, the article was deleted by a sysop. Because this appears to contravene VfD policy I have listed the article for un-deletion, which you might care to review and support, if you feel it is a valid listing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_undeletion --Gene_poole 23:37, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

List_of_songs_that_use_the_same_rhyme_throughout

The Hugh Laurie song "Mystery" rhymes on "ee" throughout. Well, alomst. Now I think about it a bit more, he does go through five verses rhyming entirely on "ee", but then he spoils it by rhyming "strong for you", "long for you" and "song for you" in the coda. So I suppose it doesn't actually qualify after all. -- Bonalaw 09:26, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Nahuatl

Hoi,
On wiktionary, there is an entry for Nahuatl. When I look at the dictionary that you placed on wikipedia, the spelling for the Nahuatlian name for itself is wrong. Could you please have a look and when it is wrong, change it.

PS It is really easy to start a wiktionary in Nahuatl. It starts with nah.wiktionary.org and, if you are the first one, it will be ther in roundabout an hour. Then the work starts :) GerardM 13:54, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ceqli

Hi, I got your message. However, I'm not sure I'm able to help you; after reading through a couple of pages of debate, it seems that VfU is mostly for deleting "wrongfully deleted" articles - that is, which were not deleted for proper reasons. If people claim that votes to delete it had a consensus in favour (putting aside, for the moment, how informed those votes were), then I'm not sure that listing it on VfU will help much.

It may be better to have someone re-create the article. -- pne 05:37, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If someone recreates the article, it will be speedy deleted, within policy, as being a recreation of a successfuly VfDd article. And, to answer your question, I voted to keep deleted because it wasn't notable. That is all. Ambi 09:09, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Well, I voted. Now to see whether it'll help. *shrugs* I hate politics. -- pne 07:11, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for messaging me. I've put in my vote to undelete, and I'll also mention it elsewhere, but there does seem to be a few people who for some reason harbor a grudge and don't want it on. -- BRG 13:27, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

the issue of school articles

In November 2003, you participated in a VfD debate over Sunset High School (Portland). The debate was archived under Talk:Sunset High School (Portland). The issue over this article remains contested. moreover, there still does not exist a wikipedia policy (as far as i can tell) over what to do in regards to articles about specific U.S. public school. The article in question has been re-nominated for VfD at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Sunset High School (Portland). My hope is that a real consensus can come out of the debate, and a real policy can take shape. Take part if you are so willing. Kingturtle 02:14, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) P.S. The history of the debate can also be reviewed and discussed at Are high schools encyclopedic?.

Articles for Deletion

I just noticed that you made a comment on the AfD debate for the VH1 list of songs. Just so you know, when AfDs have that template on them, they are closed. If you feel strongly that it should have been kept, you can go to articles for undeletion. In this particular case there was a copyright problem, so that probably wouldn't help. Happy editing, Makemi 04:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got there from the main AfD page, listing currently-up-for-deletion articles. The template was not on that page at the time I looked at it, when the article was still fresh at AfD. Wiwaxia 11:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How odd. It looked like the debate was closed on the fourth and you edited it on the seventh. I dunno. It's not a big deal, anyway, just didn't want you to waste time in the future, and if you felt strongly about it know where to go. Makemi 23:22, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Political Spectrum

You changed the outside link to an internal link on WSPQ and not on Political Compass. Why? Liberty4u 22:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why use an external link when we have an article on it right in our own Wikipedia? Wiwaxia 07:07, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

undelete Ithkuil language history

I do not think it is possible to add old, deleted article history into the current one but an admin (any admin I think) could recreate it as subpage, under different name. Normal undelete goed through WP:VFU, just to get the old history is perhaps on discretion of admins. HTH Pavel Vozenilek 21:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hollywood High characters

There... I just finished adding information on all the characters, in addition to adding a new screenshot. If there's anything else you need me to do for the article let me know. TonyR 19:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

social nudity naming conventions

Hi, I'd like to invite you to get involved in establishing consensus in discussions concerning naming conventions for social nudity topics.

Please join in this community discussion regarding the name of Portal:Clothes free.

Participate here: Portal_talk:Clothes_free#Votes

Please also join in the discussion about what to name an article dealing with social nudity. I believe the the latter term is a better term to use than naturism or nudism as it is more WP:NPOV and is in use currently. Formerly the article was titled Clothes free movement.

Participate here: Talk:Naturism#Move_to_Social_nudity

Feedback appreciated

As you seem to have an interest in such things I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at Conch Republic. There's been a rather heated discussion going on there between myself and a couple of others for a while now, and an external opinion would be useful in trying to resolve it. The long and the short of it is that 2 editors who have a history of strongly opposing micronation articles are trying to remove the micronation infobox from the article on grounds that I believe to be spurious. --Gene_poole 03:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Ceqli language

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ceqli language, by Amire80 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ceqli language is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ceqli language, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Proposed deletion of List of locales in Britain where ant species have become locally extinct

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of locales in Britain where ant species have become locally extinct, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, unencyclopaedic article

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

Your hard work is about to be deleted from Wikipedia

The article you created, List of locales in Britain where ant species have become locally extinct is about to be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of locales in Britain where ant species have become locally extinct.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
You can merge the article into a larger article.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. travb (talk) 17:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

s(c)alp

Hi,

I removed your rhyme because I could find two others, palp and Alp, so it's not exactly obscure. — kwami (talk) 01:21, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Eaiea

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Eaiea, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 July 1

Hullo;
I'm not sure if you intended to cast apsersions on my motivations for the close that is being reviewed there, but you've clearly done so. As much as I like the metephor (and I do) it calls upon facts not in evidence, that there was something personal in the close. - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 01:10, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
