Tolesi (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2012 (UTC)== Youtube? ==[reply]

hello,

why do you believe that a video from a Scientology member is WP:RS. Regards.--♫GoP♫_T ^C _N 22:07, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wot??!! If you honestly think this comes from [I assume you mean uploaded by] a Scientology member, GOP, why not look it up on, er, Wiki! - XenuTV. Or Google it. In fact Mark Bunker is also along the way a great source for the very best jazz films as well as being an Emmy winner himself. It's a pity if the Hines film can't be linked to Wiki - it's great - but if it can't it can't. Can you find a way of doing it? It would be good.Tolesi (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 4[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Facel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shah of Persia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Earl Hines[edit]

Hello Tolesi,

you asked, why I erased two references in Earl Hines.

http://www.jaymcshann.com: A japanese reference in the english Wikipedia? When I use google to translate this page, I get nothing about Earl Hines. Do you?

http://www.lordisco.com: It is in English, but again: nothing about Earl Hines on this page. In addition, I thought, paid references are forbidden on Wikipedia?

Sheaf revert[edit]

Hi Tolesi, I noticed that you reinstated my reversion of "usually clockwise" in Sheaf (agriculture). The reason that it is always clockwise is that the reaper can only deposit into the swathe on the left. If counterclockwise the deposit would be into the uncut hay and foul either the team member behind or himself as he came around. It would be possible for a single, left-handed reaper to cut counterclockwise if he had a left-handed scythe and never wanted to work in a team. Left-handed scythes can be purchased but I have never seen one because even left-handers learn to cut right-handed otherwise they could never work in a team. If a village,through some strange local genetic phenomenon, were all left-handed and they all had left-handed scythes then they could indeed cut together counterclockwise but these village reapers could never be employed in a team on a field away from the the village and could never invite a right-handed reaper in to help with the harvest. I doubt that has ever occurred. Left or right-handed, with a right-handed scythe, working either alone or in a team, the cut will always have to proceed clockwise, swathe on the left, uncut on the right. I shall post this also on the page for the record but will leave it up to you to change. E x nihil ^(talk) : Ex nihil (talk) 08:38, 17 May 2018 (UTC) Apologies Ex nihil - you're right. I was thinking of hay-making in the very steep Scottish fields of my childhood and failed to think straight - that, whichever way they [like my father] were walking, the scythe always - as you say - swung to the left. [I hope I've done better trying to explain to art-lovers that the Haystacks in Monet's "Haystack" paintings didn't contain hay!]Tolesi (talk) 08:50, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
