Proposed merge of procrastination and Student syndrome[edit]

I noticed you have been a frequent contributor to the article procrastination. I noticed a significant overlap between this article and Student syndrome, and was wondering what you would think of a possible merge? The discussion is at Talk:Student syndrome. --YbborTalk 13:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Pennsylvania[edit]

Hello there!

I'm writing to inform you that we are now forming the first local Wikimedia Chapter in the United States: Wikimedia Pennsylvania. Our goals are to perform outreach and fundraising activities on behalf of the various Wikimedia projects. If you're interested in being a part of the chapter, or just want to know more, you can:

Thanks and I hope you join up! Cbrown1023 talk 02:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks[edit]

That's what I was looking for, just didn't know how to term it... 'Wikified' seems appropriate :-)

Hi Alansohn, thanks for updating the article. The ref. I added indicates he was in the Senate as well, but does not provide dates. Do you have the book you referenced? If so can you look this up? Hope things are going well for you. Have not run into you around here for a while. I've been pre-occupied with vandals. Regards, Accurizer 00:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Haven't seen you in a while. The book I used was available at my Library, and it has a listing of Assembly members by district back to the 1940s. Senate members are listed separately, and i hadn't looked. I'll check it out next time I'm there. All the best. Alansohn 00:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, to you as well. Accurizer 00:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in the library now and I looked up Hurley in Fitzgerald's and he did indeed serve in the NJ Senate from 82-90, before stepping down to serve on the NJCCC. The info has been added and the sources updated. Thanks for pushing to get this. Alansohn 17:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

William Rush[edit]

Hello Accurizer,

I write to you because I found you in Project Philadelphia as interested in history and museums. I recently wrote an article on Philadelphian sculptor William Rush in the german wikipedia. But it is very difficult to find pictures for this article. Maybe you can take some photos of some of his works in Philadelphia and upload them in commons (a list of his works and whereabouts)? Or otherwise direct my request to a philadelphian photographer? thanks. --William Rush request 09:29, 31 August 2007 (UTC) (de:user:°)[reply]

I'll see what I can find and I'll get back to you. Accurizer 11:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, did you have success? --William Rush request 14:11, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, no, I have not had much time lately and I'm about to depart for a vacation. Perhaps October... Accurizer
Hi, more luck now? --William Rush request 17:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK Thanks[edit]

Thanks for the thanks on the inclusion of Charles K. Landis on the August 31, 2007 DYK. It's always fun finding a truly interesting subject, and being able to share the fascination with other Wikipedians. Thanks again for the thanks. Alansohn 15:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Philadelphie[edit]

Hello, i search someone who lives in Philadelphia, and i have seen that you participate to the WikiProject Philadelphia ! So i think, perhaps, you can answer to my question. No, my wish ... I work on the french wiki on M. Night Shyamalan, and, there aren't lots of photos ! And, this director shoot all his films on Philadelphia, so, it's perhaps possible to take some photos of his house, or of the place of the film. For exemple the very famous street where Sixth Sens where shooted ! This is the pedestrian Streets. For The Village, this is here.
If you can take photos, can you contact me on fr:user:stef48, best regards, stef48 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.253.39.216 (talk) 16:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WILTONBIZ[edit]

Accurizer:

I'm not sure if you are the "editor" who has removed my latest links to www.babynamesgarden.com, but I take serious exception to your earlier assertions that the site does not provide original research. In fact, it does, and in fact, it is one of the few baby names sites on the internet that does. In several sections of Wikipedia dealing with baby names you have removed citations to BabyNameGarden, while leaving in place citations to utter garbage. Do what you will, but don't pretend you have actually read, or understood, the cited material. Case in point #1: I posted citations to the excellent discussion about the top 100 baby names of the 20th century on Baby Names Garden. For your information, anyone who understands baby names and how they are reported in the US can tell you that that material was extremely time-consuming to put together. It involved massaging a lot of information in a database, not just pulling it from the Social Security Site. The Social Security site does not publish the info in that format -- go take a look before you ditch original research like that. The exact same issue occurred with citation to the Baby Names Garden report on unisex baby names -- again, public information was taken, completely reworked, in order to give people a new perspective. The new research was presented along with an original, interpretive article, and a new, ten year trend survey. And what did you do? Dumped the link, claiming it was not original material. Well dude, it was. You may enjoy the petty officiousness that comes with your Wikipedia editorial control, but at the end of the day, it doesn't change the basic fact -- you were wrong. It was good, original research, it received accolades from places like the Chicago Tribune and About.com, and it was incorrectly dumped from Wikipedia by someone who personifies the saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiltonbiz (talkcontribs) 01:28, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

War of 1812[edit]

The War of 1812 was won by the brits because they defeated the Americans when they tried to invade Canada.

Im not british, and i'm not under the illusion that Britain always win a war. --Yessir25 14:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Catholic Bishops[edit]

As a member of WikiProject Catholicism I wanted to inform you that some members of Wikipedia believe that most Roman Catholic Bishops do not merit an article on Wikipedia. Since I am unaware of a position on Wikipedia on this matter I decided to bring this to your attention. The three articles on bishops are up for AfD, they are: : John Joseph Nevins , René Henry Gracida , and Felipe de Jesus Estevez Callelinea 20:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Mussolini[edit]

Actually, I fixed the article and restored to its pre-vandalized state. I used profanity in my edit summaries to test the reaction of editors.

Your reaction, and the hesitant response to correcting the vandalism (present for an hour) proves to me that this website is unreliable. I will spread this message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.247.220.47 (talk) 06:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please block 210.18.107.2[edit]

User_talk: 210.18.107.2 just did a series of vandal edits to the article Volume boot record which I've fixed. After seeing how many problems have come from this IP number, can you please put it on at least a temporary ban? -- Daniel B. Sedory (talk) 16:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accurizer, I'm not sure if you'd already done so before I added this request, but thanks to someone (or a bot) the number has been taken care of (see their Talk page). I believe everyone who wishes to edit WikiPedia articles should be registered; that would cut-down on much of this vandalism. -- Daniel B. Sedory (talk) 21:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Message about Signing my name[edit]

I know, I know, I'm supposed to sign my name. I was in a hurry though, and rushed out. I remembered it later and added the tildes. Thanks for giving me a heads-up though. Prudency is the best option, even though prudency isn't a word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NuclearWarfare (talkcontribs) 03:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Message about Maintenance tag[edit]

Hi Accurizer, i am very new here. So may be i made a problem while i was editing the article. Can you show me a proper way to do it ? (st105015 (talk) 18:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Reply: [7]

Hi! Thank you very much for your interpretation :-) (st105015 (talk) 19:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]
Hi again! Can you show me how to remove the article ? I will posts another one later after i've finished writing it in my computer first (st105015 (talk) 20:04, 8 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Reply: [8]

Thanks for your help Accurizer, the reason i want to remove that article because i want to change the article title - change the way i used the research reference so that it won't break the wiki rules to make interpretation of original research. Have a nice day man :-) (st105015 (talk) 16:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]
