I commented on the talk page about the recent reversion of your edit to make the spelling of dentin consistant. I would appreciate your comment on my reasoning, and if you think the reversion was appropriate. - Dozenist talk 00:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Looks like a great picture to me, and a wondeful addition to both articles. We may tweak the location of the pictures in the article (I am thinking in particular of the wisdom teeth article, but other than that they make for fine edits! Keep it up. - Dozenist talk 00:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, it certainly is not my page, and all articles are a work in progress. I responded to your edits on the talk page. Looks good again. - Dozenist talk 02:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The Jewish Encyclopedia was published between 1901-1906, so any copyrights on it have already expired and are in the public domain already. Even the home page of www.jewishencyclopedia.com states that all its contents are public domain. ----
Legally, the terms of use on Jewish Encyclopedia which purport to restrict access to the images and text have no validity. The entire work is public domain and cannot be claimed by copyright. This is an issue that has been discussed at great length at Wikipedia. In the U.S., exact photographic copies of public domain 2-D works cannot be copyrighted under any circumstances.

I think you should leave the tag as it identifies the source of the image. I think it's respectful of the people at JE.com to leave the tag, even if their claim to copyright is invalid. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 16:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Salut Storkk, je suis désolé de ne pas écrire en anglais mais mes connaissances de cette langue sont malheureusement limitées. J'ai vu que tu veux traduire l'article sur Hippias mineur. Si je peux t'être d'une aide quelconque tu peux me le dire naturellement car Platon m'interesse beaucoup et je travaille pas mal les articles le concernant sur wiki:fr. Amicalement.

Hi, I was just wondering why you replaced my ((db-bio)) on the above mentioned page. You basically are saying the same thing: "Notable? Does not give specific examples of notability, such as prestigious awards". This, however, even disregarding the fact that the article was created by the person herself, is grounds (as far as i understand) for speedy-deletion. --Storkk 01:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to revert the vandalism to the Risk page. Dan Slotman 20:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
When you see a prod and agree that the article should be deleted, please add a ((prod2)) rather than changing the prod to a speedy. However, if the article appears to be an autobiography, it is often best to move the problem article to the author's user page and to add the message ((subst:userfied)) on the author's talk page. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 04:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I actually deleted quite a few of the prods that you had changed to speedies -- good catches! The only ones I reverted were the three soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan. There is some slight chance that they might have had some military notability, and in general I think it's a little harsh to speedy these well-intentioned (though nonencyclopedic) memorial articles. Otherwise, you're doing great -- keep up the good work! NawlinWiki 04:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
N.B. This discussion relates to a now-deleted comment I left on User talk:Mitsos, suggesting that in the interests of the community, he might want to remove the white nationalist userbox with the Stormfront logo from his user page. --Storkk 13:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that the WN userbox can be considered polemical, or that I commit any personal attack. Also, I remind you that there are userboxes such as "This user is an anarchist" or "This user is an marxist". Finaly, you said that "if the community lets you know that they would rather you deleted some or other content from your user space, you should probably do so, at least for now - such content is only permitted with the consent of the community" be sure that I will. Mitsos 08:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Storkk, A7 is the most controversial CSD, and you'll see interpretations differ from administrator to administrator. If there is anything suggestion of claimed notability in the article, I prefer a prod or an AfD and won't speedy it. While I agree with you that many if not all of the articles you tagged will fail the relevant notability guideline (WP:MUSIC), this is best suited for a non-speedy deletion mechanism. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 11:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
why is this not db-band and speedied?
NB. This discussion, of which more can be found on User talk:Paularnhold (under numerous headings), is about pages that I (Storkk) deemed to be WP:SPAM. User:Paularnhold was the alleged spammer, and did not feel his actions were spam, or at least felt he was being unfairly treated. I replied on his talk page. --Storkk 23:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't understand why you considered the post under document management as spam. There were a number of other companies listed there and Perceptive Software is, as they are, a document management company. Why do you feel some companies deserve to be listed while others dont? Can you please clarify this?
I would really like your assistance in converting this content so that it's not considered spam. That was not at all my intention.
Please help me understand how I can list company information as Laserfiche and Hyland Software, among many others, already have done. (In fact, I just read the Hyland Software submission and it looks much like the content I provided.) --Paularnhold 19:05, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Storkk- You assured me I would have until the end of the year to validate the Perceptive Software entry. However, today I tried to pull up the page and the entry no longer exists. Can you please return the entry and I'll provide valid references over the next three months? You've also removed the talk page so I now can't view any of our dialogue. Please explain!

Hi,
Firstly apologies for the late reply, i've been away on a break. I appreciate your involvement as a neutral editor, i think me being Turkish promotes a kind of reflex in Greek users to dispute everything i propose, so it helps to get more people involved. The problem i have with an article based on "thesis" or "allegation" is that it would in itself be a Greek pov. I dont think it would be good for Wikipedia to create articles based on allegations as they could be highly controversial stuff. I have instead tried to come up with a more moderate title from which all points of view can be considered, and one which can be backed by academic sources. When i have time i will get involved in the discussion again, once again thanks for your contribution,. --A.Garnet 09:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, would you reconsider the tag on Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing since I expanded it a bit (and will expand it more) and I think now the article is to big to be merged... --Dijxtra 13:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
NB. The following discussion pertains to Diabetes mellitus, where I had added a ((intro length)) tag. Jfdwolff moved it to the talk page of the article, which I fundamentally disagreed with. The rest of the discussion can be found at User talk:Jfdwolff or one of the archives. --Storkk 23:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I do not disagree that the intro needs shortening. I have actually moved the box where it belongs: on the talkpage - so editors working on the article are aware of its relevance while casual readers who do not edit Wikipedia are not distracted by it. This is consistent with my personal policy of keeping major articles uncluttered.
I have asked the other editors of that article to consider reinstating my 2006-07-07 version of the intro, which covered roughly the same matter in half as many words. JFW | T@lk 23:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
I have already taken steps to improve the quality of the LEAD. But you misinterpreted my opinion; it's not that I want to hide the box from editors - I think it should not be visible to a casual surfer whose best pal has just learned that he's got diabetes and needs to lose a couple of stone (and possibly take medication). Wikipedia is for the readers, not for its editors. And not all readers are editors. (Yes, I also feel strongly about it!) JFW | T@lk 23:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
NB. The following discussion pertains to the fr → en translation page. More can be found here. --Storkk 11:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
About that...I finished translating way back when, but apparently the article that was meant to be translated was not accurate (confused Sorbonne with the University of Paris), and as I am not too clear on the differences myself, it was meant to be edited by User:Uppland, but I don't know if it ever was. So it's a finished translation, but anything relevant still needs to be incorporated into the existing English Sorbonne article.
Sorry! It turned out to be more complicated than I expected. I can put the translation in the Talk page of Sorbonne, perhaps? Tamarkot 02:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

You commented recently at deletion review "I don't know if I can vote here, not being an admin... but reading the above instructions, I think so." You can certainly opine/vote at Deletion review. Anyone meeting the qualification of "user" can do so. GRBerry 13:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
It actually needs checking by someone with better French, in case I've introduced any falsehoods. *ding* And I know exactly who I should ask to do that! Will move the article soon as it's done. JackyR | Talk 13:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
Great to see you joined the Beer Project! I'd been thinking for a long while that we didn't really have any material whatsoever on beers from France, and other locations.

Hi Storkk, that image is currently tagged as fair use. It's a long story, but to summarize, the source has inconsistent licensing information on their website. I wrote to them last week asking for clarification. Fair use is the safest thing in the meantime, and I'll update the tag as soon as I hear back from them. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 14:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your message. Your comments were made in good faith, and I wasn't offended. I don't think that Isotope23 (talk • contribs) intended to accuse me of anything either. What bothers me about this AfD, apart from the improprer behavior of other people who want to keep the article, is the comment by == Onorem Dil ==: "Delete - Went to school. Got a degree. Got a job. Has a family. I'd have considered just going with a ((db-bio))", a rather glib comment which shows an unfortunate lack of understanding. AfD discussion often trivializes the value and importance of corporate executives and of non-celebrity academics, which in turn weakens Wikipedia.
This discussion pertains to my editor review, linked above. User:Daveydweeb was the first respondent, and offered some very good criticism. My replies can be found both on the review page, linked above, and on User talk:Daveydweeb (or an archive thereof) --Storkk 22:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Heya. I finally found the time to review you as requested, since I've felt quite crappy for the last few days, and have provided some detailed comments and editing statistics at your request page.
I should mention that I've taken quite a harsh tone in my review, but I don't intend to be as critical as I may come across. The suggestions I've made are the kind of thing nobody will ever tell you in the course of normal editing, so I wanted to tell you sooner rather than later. I hope the comments I've made are helpful, and please feel free to ask any questions you like at that page (and tell me about them on my talk page).
Good luck in the future, and happy editing! :) Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 10:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, if you read the note closely, he gives clear permission to use the low-res photo I uploaded, and with-held permission for high-resolution use of the same photograph.

Not sure that the link should have been changed to Republic of Ireland as Rugby and clubs from both parts of the island play in the same league so Irish in this case does refer to the whole island. If you agree please revert the change. --Gramscis cousin 11:11, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
