Good edits sir, and I don't ever mind doing some minor edits to articles. That article was a MESS and really needed the work. SmartGuy 16:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I really like your first two edits to this article, but I've reworded a sentence regarding Queen Victoria's mother that might be read as a POV statement. ("It is unfortunate that Victoria's mother did not return the kindness.") I do hope I've caught the gist of what you meant -- feel free to correct it if I did not.

It is unlikely that there were two groups out to get Uncle Tom. It makes more sense that Mrs. Grew was a backup option. After all, any plotters willing to blow up a liner would have no qualms about sacrificing an underling just to increase their chances. Occam's razor. Clarityfiend 00:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
The relevant episode is on page 156 of the Orb edition, 1997, a few pages into chapter 11. Heinlein, as an engineer, is unlikely to have thrown jewels into the mix as financing, particularly since the HK dollar circulated freely in Luna and the Party had plenty of them, courtesy of Mike's swindle. However he really didn't understand the nature of the device in several ways - not just the lack of efficiency but the need for long ruby rods, which are usually made artificially (it's a form of corundum).

Re: child->teenager->minor->adolescent. I actually thought of the word 'adolescent' a few minutes after I made that change. It seems about right (i.e. sexually mature (in a biological sense), but not yet 'adult'). 'minor' is a legal term, so it's not quite right; 'child' isn't right either (and has really bad mojo in that context). I guess we'll see if anyone else wants to weigh in. -- Jim Douglas 23:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I felt that you had not looked at existing articles on the Euro before you wrote Introduction of the euro. The Euro article is actually too long: there may be scope for splitting it.

Hi! I saw your interests page, and I wish to explain a bit situation with mentioned history-related article.
In fact, we don't want to erase content of this, it will be merged into more global article like "Occupation of Ukraine".
Also, as you can notice, current version of article contains >50% about Holocaust, it's not the primary goal of it. If it will be merged into Occupation of Ukraine it will be more title-specific. Because at that times, there were Soviet people, not Ukrainians. And article particularly speaks about Jews.
Also, you mentioned, that article is referenced, but I want to tell you that most references are not valid, since citations were misinterpreted by editors. You can see talk page for more info. Briefly, the strongest accusations were provided from some journalist, which has only one article on history, and has no historical background at all.
Thanks for understanding, please provide your arguments. --Galkovsky 06:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
noticed your edit back there, i'm not sure about the desert eagle reference, but i made the hooey lewis contrib, and i did it after i found i was the only person who got the huey lewis reference, among the people i was watching it with. in fact, none of them had even heard of him, much less his music. so all i'm saying is that perhaps it isn't that obvious, after all. also, didn't find any other reference to huey/hooey lewis in the article. joseph 15:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

OK as "possible", though I still prefer "allegation"; if Mr. Corrie states "there was never a threat made against us" then he seems to be contradicting the suggestion that he was facing possible kidnapping. "Possibility" disregards his perspective for an inferior yet preferred perspective, IMHO. :o) Still it's fine either way, better than it was, Cheers DBaba 05:29, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't take it as a personal attack... as people say, "it's cool". About the putting new things on the bottom of the talk page, I didn't know because I'm relatively a new Wikipedian. Sorry if I caused any fuss. Ian Lee 01:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi once again! If you want to, you can add one of the SP userboxes I made to your userpage (User:Ian_Lee/Custom_Userboxes). You don't have to, but it's just a thought. Also, I've been thinking about making a Wikiproject for Simple Plan like the My Chemical Romance Wikiproject. I do realize that SP has A LOT less fans than MCR... at least here in America, but I think that we could probably get at least ten serious members (you, me, Cambridgebayweather, ect...) to join, and I think that would be sufficient.

Dear Wehwalt!
Persian literature was previously a GA. However it was silent about contemporary literature. I added information about "contemporary persian literature". The section needs copyeditting and also shortening. In case you are interested in the subject, I would like to ask you to help me in copy editting the article. I also posted a request in the "League of copyeditors page". Thanks alot. Sangak 16:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I have noticed you reverted my fixing to the infobox and changed "charge" to "convicted of". While I much appreciate your intentions to avoid confusion, I'd have to tell you that in the turnout of the article, "convicted of" simply cannot show up in the infobox because our current criminal infobox code does not contain such a "convicted of" row. As you can see in Schapelle Corby article, the "convicted of" does not show up. So my suggestion is change it back to "charge" and maybe make a convicted of row when my colleagues in WP:CRIME project improve the infobox. And if you know anyone who is an expert in infobox code, he is more than welcome to edit the infobox template to add "convicted of" row in the template, rather than in the article.

Hello. Thanks for your recent work on The Mikado. Please note that the libretto does not state that executions must be "in order" (though I agree that this is an inherent assumption in the logic). But, I don't think we should dwell on what's *not* in the libretto. The key idea in the song is that "we made him headsman FOR WE SAID who's next to be decapited cannot cut off another's head until he's cut his own off". That is, what interested Gilbert was that the Titipu nobles used a *logical reasoning process* to stop the executions (they "argued IN THIS KIND OF WAY... and all is right!") It isn't necessary to show the assumption behind the logic: it's the *fact* that they used this argumentative reasoning process to halt executions that's funny, IMO. Anyhow, if you disagree strongly, maybe we can figure out some language that will please us both? Best regards, -- Ssilvers 06:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your changes to Pinafore. There's probably more to do on that synopsis, but I'll have to get to it another day. Do you know how to add images to articles? Some of the articles, like The Sorcerer have no images at all. There are plenty of great images at the G&S archive (including public domain clip art and postcards), but I don't know how to import them. See, e.g., http://members.aol.com/guron/index.htm and https://www.gsarchive.net/postcards/index.htm Best regards, -- Ssilvers 16:38, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not good at it. I just copy what others have done, but it gets the illustration there. See, for example, Eyre Massey Shaw. I wrote that article and put up the image of Captain Shaw.--Wehwalt 22:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

re: That's not a judgement by wikipedia, but a historical fact! The idea was to suggest what salic law was in context, but have it as you will. The Franks certainly did for a millenium!

I had undone 81.179.100.251's change of the Ireland rating from 16 to 18, along with a lot of vandalism from other anonymous users, after looking at 81.179.100.251's IP location and figuring that it would be unlikely that somebody in New Jersey would know the rating in Ireland. Now I see that you've made the same change; given that you're an established user, I'll let it stand. Perhaps 81.179.100.251 was you?
BTW, while I was editing this page, I also corrected what appeared to be a nesting error in the messages here; most were grouped under two 'Senses Fail' headings. Please fix that if I was incorrect. Wdfarmer 20:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Nevertheless, the Hispanic vote could play a decisive role. Plaza recalls that Bush won Florida's 25 electoral votes in 2000 by a margin of only 537 votes. On that occasion, Hispanics voted overwhelmingly for Bush after President Bill Clinton antagonized many of these citizens by deciding to send Elián Gonzalez, one of the Cuban "boat people," back to Cuba.[4]

A tag has been placed on The Used's fourth studio CD requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mbisanz (talk) 11:21, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

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. |

Hi Wehwalt, I have just noticed that you have been adding succession boxes to UK parliamentray constituencies for sitting prime ministers (which seems to me like a good idea), and also that you have created Category:United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies represented by a sitting Prime Minister.
I'm not so persuaded that the category is a good idea, so I have started a discussion on the talk page of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies, where I have suggested that a list would be better.

Assuming it's true, it could be argued as relevant, since they're his own offspring. The Ty Cobb, Pete Rose and Ted Williams articles, for example, talk about their sons and their attempts to be ballplayers. I expect other father-and-son combinations, such as the Alous, the Smalleys, and others are also discussed. Of course the latter were all major leaguers. The question with Ryan would only be whether there was any public notoriety about it, as I'm sure countless big leaguers have had sons try and fail to follow in their fathers' spiked footsteps.

Thanks for uploading Image:WT.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Warpedtournotice.jpg. The copy called Image:Warpedtournotice.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

You reverted a number of edits I made that took me a time to do. In doing so, you reverted bad grammar, unclear statements, and reliable source links. I have reverted you because of that. Perhaps there are some POV issues, but that does not mean you should revert all of the edits made in one fell swoop. I am looking for other sources to balance it, but have not been able to find any. Instead of a quicky revert, please help balance that which you see is an unbalance. Also the Human Rights Watch is a reliable source, so are the lawsuit links. As the policy states there is no time limit, so that which is unbalanced may be balanced in due time.

So far as I can figure out, the reason Weter wasn't extradited was because he got the court to cancel the warrant. If there's a valid warrant, the extradition can't be refused, but if you can get a court to declare the warrant itself invalid, it negates the needs for extradition. What cannot happen is for there to be a valid Aruban warrant and another country in the kingdom refusing the extradition. A subtlety that probably isn't worth explaining in the article.Kww (talk)

Following both of these heated debates, a new proposal has been made for a guideline to aid these contentious debates, which can be found at WP:N/CA.

I don't know why you should object to to an explanation for why the UK and Republic of Ireland happened to be using the same currency at the time of decimalisation in 1971. The way it was previously worded had misleadingly attributed the parity to Bretton Woods in 1944. The parity goes back long before Bretton Woods. Bretton Woods merely confirmed the status quo as far as the Irish Pound was concerned. Bretton Woods tells us nothing about why the parity was chosen. If I was reading the article and I was curious as to why the UK and Republic of Ireland happened to share a common currency in effect, I would feel that the original version that attributed this parity to Bretton Woods, had told me nothing. 203.177.241.5 (talk) 00:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes you are correct that the article is about the transition of pounds, shillings, and pence to decimal in two countries on the 15th February 1971. But the article already stated in passing that the two countries used two separate currencies that were on par as a consequence of the Bretton woods agreement of 1944.
This is not technically correct. The Bretton Woods agreement merely rubber stamped the already existing status quo. So if it is of any interest at all to the readers as to why the two countries of the article just happened to be using currencies at par and just happened to be changing over to decimal on the same day, I thought I'd elaborate a little bit on the background.
I could have put in more details, but just as you say, it would be going off topic.
I think it is at the right level now. It points out that the Republic of Ireland were effectively using Sterling at that time and that their monetry system was totally integrated with that of the UK. Hence the Irish government naturally followed suit with the UK when they decided to convert to decimal currency in 1971.
As for references,look at section 49 in this 1927 act of the Irish parliament. http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1927/en/act/pub/0032/index.html
This act explains the technical introduction of the Irish pound in the Irish Free State in 1927 at a time when British Sterling was still the circulating currency. It explains how the new Irish currency is to be redeemable for British legal tender at the London office of the Irish currency commissioners.
The Irish pound was effectively Sterling under a different name until 1979. A similar state of affairs continues today on the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Falkland Islands, St. Helena, Ascension Island, and Gibraltar. These territories also changed to decimal on 15th February 1971 as did Malawi. Malawi was still using the Sterling system at this date even though it had gained independence from the UK in the 1960's. Malawi, in this respect was in an identical situation to the Republic of Ireland although its banking system was not integrated into the UK clearing system as was the Republic of Ireland's.
For your curiosity, Malta, Nigeria and Gambia continued to use the old pounds, shillings and pence even after the UK had converted to decimal. Nigeria was the last to convert in 1973. George Smyth XI (talk) 10:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

When I looked more closely at my revert I noticed that other things had been changed that also sucked (I'm paraphrasing now for brevity), so I was combing through and restoring individual sentences/paragraphs, etc., in addition to just general proofing.

Do you really think that I chose a case to support a proposed change?? That is lunacy. I saw a good editor, entitled to Wikipedia's gratitude for his edits, being treated as if he were a vandal. I objected. Then someone cited the policies in support of the way he was treated. I was shocked. I could only think they should be embarrassed to realize that their policies had led to this outcome. I still don't understand why they're not. I can understand how the policies could have led an inattentive admin to mistake that user's edits for spam, but I still don't understand how someone could sympathize with that admin's actions after they realize the nature of the edits. I never noticed or cared about these policies until this case came along. I did not decide to say anything about the policies and then choose a case. Rather the policies came to my attention because of the case.

Hello, I noticed that you recently removed information I had contributed to the Simple Plan article. I realize this information may not support the most popular viewpoint but it was backed up by several reliable sources, so I'm curious why it was removed. You will notice that many bands have several genres listed in their infobox, for instance many grunge bands are also labeled as heavy metal. These labels are often controversial however as long as reliable sources are provided they are not removed. Aurum ore (talk) 07:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
