Hello,

Thanks for the bugreport, it has been fixed, hopefully. Please check.

Could you check hu:user:grin/test with IE whether the transparent picture is visible and okay, and doesn't have a white border? Thanks --grin ✎ 16:41, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)

[edit] Votes for Deletion: February 15, 2005

Three VfD's are taking place on key Project of Alternative Medicine articles.

I am contacting you because you have in the past made edits to Terms and concepts in alternative medicine. And, I would hate to see all your efforts to improve this article be wasted because other editors voted to delete it.

I need you to vote to KEEP the following.

Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/List_of_terms_and_concepts_used_in_alternative_medicine This article is extremely important to our project.

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of miscellaneous topics related to alternative medicine

And, vote to REDIRECT the following.

Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Philosophy of alternative medicine

Please vote in favor of the Project on Alternative Medicine today, before it is too late.

[edit] Criteria for speedy deletion

I noticed that you recently marked Edwin jefferson for speedy delete for vanity. Currently, vanity is not listed under Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, although this policy is currently being debated on its talk page. Zzyzx11 | Talk 18:29, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New Favorite Quote

I just came across this and recognized your name.

"Lists look better with more than one entry."

Heehee. Now that's a keeper! In fact, I'm putting it on my list. Hope you don't mind.

[edit] Thanks for helping with the Aesthetic Realism article

Thanks for your effort to have some sanity in the Aesthetic Realism article. I have no need for the article to be cheerleading for my own position, and it's disappointing that the AR people aren't willing to accept a neutral article themselves.

I reverted to your version after they added a whole bunch more cheerleading today. Michaelbluejay 03:00, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What next?

Zigger, your explanation of what was wrong with my paragraph was careful, and I see your points. What I am trying to do is to make clear the motivation of that particular group of people who have banded together for the purpose of smearing and, if they could, discrediting serious professional people (including me) by means of a torrent of lies about Eli Siegel and the Aesthetic Realism Foundation. Their motivation has a likeness to what impelled the medical establishment and press to attack Walter Reed when he established the Anopheles mosquito as the vector for Yellow Fever. It has a resemblance to why Lockhardt wrote horribly about Keats' Endymion--and it is like so many others who attacked important individuals that brought new knowledge into the world. I would like to stem these attacks so a reader would know what Aesthetic Realism is by looking in Wikipedia. If that is impossible, how would I get the category removed, shut down? The smoothness of Michael Bluejay in accusing me of vandalizing the entry in which I am quoted, and which I wrote a good deal of, is representative of the approach of this group. It was begun by an Ellen Mali, now of Colorado, whose son posted a crude piece on an anti-cult websited several years ago (he is Adam Mali, a restauranteur). The anger of the ego at meeting something new, beautiful, and, frankly, greater than one is accustomed to seeing--greater than oneself--has made scientific and artistic progress through the ages much harder than it needs to be. Leonardo da Vinci was made fun of by professors who did not believe his idea that the ocean once covered a mountain in Italy which had fossils of shellfish on it. (He was right of course.)

There is a long history to this attitude. I approach you not only as a censor of improperly written paragraphs but as a person who might help the truth be told without interference.

[edit] Hindu temples?

Hi, as far as I can tell, you started the Category: Hindu temples category. Do you know if it's meant to be for buildings which are now Hindu temples, or buildings which were built as Hindu temples? The issue's come up over the Category:Hindu_temples_in_Cambodia sub-category, which contains temples which were built as Hindu temples, but later converted to Buddhism. Therefore they are still "Hindu temple architecture", but not "Hindu temples". Any thoughts? Mark1 04:41, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) June 28, 2005 13:46 (UTC)

Dear user Zigger, as I have seen a edition of yours at the article Rosicrucian, I come to request your support to this article that I have just purposed for nomination at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Rosicrucian.

[edit] Image removal on Cronulla riot article

Hey mate, I noticed you removed the still of a news program of the valdalised car. I have one other as well which I thought would contribute well to the article, but I wanted to check why they break copyright laws, don't they qualify as TV/film screenshots. Cheers. smerc


--Got your message. I get what your saying, I might do a little more research into the matter. The second photo(still) I have is quite disturbing, it's not graphically violent but it would really capture the event. Hmm, so I'll see what I can do to some how get it in. Thanks.

[edit] Bra boys

The votes at the time of closing were 12 keep, 1 delete, and 2 merge, so I felt the result was going to be rather obvious. Per WP:IAR I went and closed the debate so as not to waste any more time on it. As I am not an administrator, if you disagree, I'll be happy to re-open it and restore the AfD notice on the article.

Would you be willing to support my nominee for WP:COTW. The article is Invasion which is an important term for military knowledge. The current article however isn't at the same standard as the term is in modern and historic warfare though. If you'll be willing to support, I'll be greatful.

[edit] Infobox Former Country

Hi. I have had to revert the recent changes that you made to Infobox Former Country because it adversely effected its presentation (some alignments were messed up). - 52 Pickup 09:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the template. Which page/browser had the problem? --Zigger «º» 13:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
I only looked through one or two entries - one of them was Weimar Republic - and the alignment of the grey date/flag bar at the top was skewed to one side before reverting your changes (I'm using Firefox). I can see what you were trying to do, but for some reason it just didn't work. No problem. - 52 Pickup 16:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Al-Hamed-1-July-2006.jpg)

Nuvola apps important blue.svg Thanks for uploading Image:Al-Hamed-1-July-2006.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] G'day NewSouthWikiWelshman

...and I mean 'welshman' in the most gender neutral way, of course...and I'm aware that not all of you guys are from NSW.. and I'm aware that this hasn't been the most smoothly written note in Wiki's history, but hey ho...slaps head, persuades voices in head to pipe down, and continues.... Fancy attending a meetup? - We've got some interested Chapter stuff to chat about, no doubt there may be some tales of Arabian Nights (or at least Egyptian conferences), and it just generally felt like it was about time..... head over here if you're interested.... do feel free to wiki-edit away in the usual fashion too if you've got any other ideas! cheers all, Privatemusings (talk) 07:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)you've been spammed in this nature because you signed up as interested in being notified about this sort of thing.. hope that's ok!

[edit] A Sydney Meetup

G'day all - I'm dropping this note in to let you know that there's to be a Wiki Meetup the week after next, on Tuesday, 21st at 18:00 at The Paragon in Circular Quay. If you've ever thought about popping along to one of these, but haven't had the chance - now's the time! If you love the idea, but the time and / or place don't quite work for you, please do feel free to wiki edit away at the meetup page and I'm sure we can sort something out :-) Meetups are a great way to share wiki-thoughts, meet wiki-friends, and generally learn how to prefix all areas of your life with wiki- :-)

It's a very friendly bunch, and we're hoping to be able to formally collect membership fees and details for the Australian Chapter (did you know that we're the only current english speaking chapter? Join now for kudos and future bragging rights!) - as well as just generally have a good 'ol time. I look forward to seeing you there :-) best, Privatemusings (talk) 07:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RfD nomination of As of 1996

[edit] WikiProject Medicine/Dermatology task force

I wanted to know if you (or any friends of yours) are interested in dermatology, and would be willing to help me with the WikiProject Medicine/Dermatology task force? kilbad (talk) 13:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! kilbad (talk) 15:25, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback Request

I have granted your rollback request. However, I want to caution you regarding its use. I found this edit earlier today where you reverted a good-faith edit that may be unsourced but is definitely not random (I fixed it). If you start using rollback like that, you'll find editors getting upset and it may quickly be removed. Some editors might not appreciate edit summaries like this one, but overall I see a good-faith editor with a long (if staggered) history and I'm assuming good faith.

In short: please be careful with rollback. Thanks for your contributions to the project. Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions!  Frank  |  talk  16:08, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chuck Berry

A terrible oversight on my part and I have noted such at the IP's talk page. Thanks for catching it and correcting it. JodyB talk 12:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Largest Australian Cities template

Sorry, I'll try to be more careful next time. In the case of widening the template, you should probably re-add Brisbane, and maybe Perth if it fits, so it looks neater. --GarrieFerron 14 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem, it's a good thing that someone's watching the pages! Okay, Brizzie's back, but Perth doesn't fit — that gallery format is just too “spaceful”. In regard to the edits, I should probably have done the changes in two steps to make it clearer to the rest of the world. --Zigger «º» 07:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

If you read the talk page of the template, which is where the discussion about changing it should have taken place, and not on individual user talk pages, you'll see why it was reverted. The template is set up for Australia, which is the only place it's used. Please continue any discussion there, with a note at Talk:Australia. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki Christmas Meetup

G'day all - I'm hoping that I might persuade you along to a Wiki christmas celebration / meetup on december 18th :-) - The meetup regulars are a friendly bunch, and we're very much hoping to get a few new folk along to chat about all things Wiki (and there are apparently some exciting things in the pipeline! Come along to find out a bit more ;-) - you can sign up here - and do feel free to edit that page with any more ideas or suggestions too :-)

Hope to see you there - I've heard a rumour that the first drink is on the highest placed Australian in the current arbcom elections.... Privatemusings (talk) 23:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)ok, so I started that rumour too....

[edit] Possums - Opossums, categories

Hi Zigger - thanks for doing edits on Great Barrier island . However, there were a few that I have reverted. Possums aren't opossums, so please don't introduce more species to New Zealand, we already have enough trouble with those lacking the "o" ;-)

Also, categorisation like putting Great Barrier Island into "Copper mines" is not really appropriate. Its an island, not a copper mine. Maybe it could fit into a category like "Copper mining in NZ", but even that would be marginal - it wasn't exactly like the island has an extremely extensive history of it or anything...

Okay - no offense intended, just clarifying some things. Cheers and happy editing. Ingolfson (talk) 05:32, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hacking on "circadian rhythm sleep disorder"

Looks like somebody's found a way to fake the source of a wikepedia edit; you noted on the talk page for my IP that (what I agree is) non-constructive editing was made in on 12/4/2008 which appeared to come from my IP...but this is my work computer and I'm quite sure no one else was on it 12/4/2008. Thanks for keeping vigilant eye, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.29.227.226 (talk) 18:16, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup time again

Hi all, it's Meetup time again :-) - Hopefully you'll be up for meeting on April 22nd at about 6pm at The Paragon, a pub in Circular Quay. It'll be the usual round of drinks and chit chats, with no particular agenda, just some friendly faces, and a shared interest in Wiki stuff. If you've thought about coming along before, but haven't made it - we'd love to see you - it'll be a relaxed, social chin wag about all things wiki - bring anyone along you fancy, and I hope you can make it :-)

Please do sign up on the meetup page, and do also feel free to nominate an alternative time / date / location if for whatever reason the 21st doesn't work for you - we're an accommodating bunch :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 04:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Why, haven't you responded?--Michael (Talk) 04:31, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Swine flu Epidemic

It is not beyond the realm of reality/possibility that this flu was released upon the Mexican population intentionally by some evil, international powermongers. We live in perilous, uncharted times. I've been meaning to do a little research but then will my sources be honest? just doing this research online, to try and find out if the first cases were, as it sounds, in Mexico. It isn't an insult to the Mexicans if it started there. AIDS did start in Africa and that was probably manufactured and forced on them, too.

The TIMING of this outbreak does seem suspicious to me. Ya know the old cliche "if something seems too good to be true, it probably is?" Well, this timing seems "too good to be true" for the EVIL ONES, as if this turns into pandemic it will serve those that HATE liberty and life, very well. it will serve those wishing to squash our freedoms AND our financial successes, VERY WELL.

(No wonder that when Princess Di died in a horrible auto accident, even the father of her boyfriend was convinced that conspiracy was involved. Diana had become very blatant about having an affair with one in the family of one of the queen's enemies, and if she had been pregnant by him it could have been a huge embarrassment and problem affecting the royal family's pride, so yes, her death did seem "such a lucky break" for the royals. Was it conspiracy? as if any of us can ever know?)--Michael (Talk) 05:32, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, but I prefer Hanlon's razor, and these corollaries: "don't assume stupidity when negligence/ignorance/disinterest are likely". I have no theory about the origin of the flu, and no reason to believe yours. Watch your back, there is a conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories and they might think you're the competition. --Zigger «º» :) Zigger «º» 05:56, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I do not combat between individuals, groups, nations. Endways, I heard a local 97 year old Sacramento gentleman speaking about the horrors of it on the radio. This is what prompted me to go searching. He was only 4 when he contracted it, but said the horrors of it were still so vivid in his mind he wanted to share with us all and let us know it can be very real, IF it gets out of control. Although, realizing how long ago it was, hopefully, we have come a long ways in medicine to battle it before it spreads so widely. He also said, the basics are very true that have been reiterated here...wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands!!--Michael (Talk) 06:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Revert in Flu

I reverted your undo of my contributions. You can see it in the discussion page but courtesy drives me to comment on your talk page. I proposed the change in the discussion before I edited. No objections but also encouragement to edit the article. Most of the reasons I included within the discussion page. I would revert anyone who blanked contributions that were perfectly acceptable under WIKI guidelines. The interesting thing is that my block text is a good way to quote and make things stand out. With the way the article is going, it is hard to get it to "look good." So I didn't block text it this time. Again, all is explained in the discussion page. Cheers- BFritzen (talk) 12:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

Deepest apologies. The edit was deliberate but I only wanted to add North American influenza back which had been removed by someone without any discussion because they considered the World Organisation for Animal Health a 'peripheral organisation' and the name very uncommon (even tho a simple Google or Google shows is not the case). I must have had an edit conflict or edited an old version but not noticed Nil Einne (talk) 13:49, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I've had a look an all the edits have been integrated or reappeared (perhaps by you?). Ironically one of my edits disappeared and I noticed it had disappeared but thought I must have forgotten to save Nil Einne (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
I've since restored two discovered lost edits. There is a third, but I was unsure of its relevance. --Zigger «º» 15:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Minor civility issue

Zigger, with regard to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 May 5#Wikipedia:CUEGLOSS I have to comment that I feel it was distinctly incivil to label Fuhghettaboutit's creation of the CUEGLOSS redirect as being a form of "disruption" (your term). An accusation of disruptive editing is, by its very nature and definition, an accusation of bad faith editing, which is a strong charge to bring against a long-standing productive and constructive editor, and a well-respected admin. While the CUEGLOSS redir at issue was deleted, it was done so on other grounds. I don't mean to create a huge argument (not like anyone would notice here, as this appears only at the talk page of the RfD log of the day in question and your talk page). PS: Your response to my defense of the separate WP:CUEGLOSS redirect, which was kept, isn't very, well, responsive.

[edit] Sydney Meetup

I think you may have been notified by email, but I thought it was worth my dropping in a note anywhoo, to let you know that Sydney Wikipedians are having a meetup this coming Tuesday, the 4th August. As you'll see on that page, we have two folk flying in from the Wikimedia Foundation who will be attending, and we have a great crowd of wiki types signed up to come along.

If you've never been to a meetup before, this wouldn't be a bad one to kick off with (we're all very friendly, interesting, and great looking folk ;-), and if you have, well come along again, why don't ya! If you've any questions you can flick the aussie mailing list an email on wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org aussie mailing list, or drop me a note on my talk page. Hope to see some of you there!

ps. If you've already signed up, and received an email, and a phone call, and a door knock, and are getting a bit frustrated with constant advances from enthusiastic australian wiki types, then I'm told you can print this message, and bring it along to use as a 'free beer' voucher, redeemable by our esteemed Vice-President of WMAU on the night...... ;-) Privatemusings (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup Time in Sydney :-)

Hi all,

It's meetup time again in Sydney - hopefully you'll be able to come along for friendly chat and drinks about all things wiki - topics will no doubt include the Chapter - perhaps with planning for the upcoming AGM, the general state of wiki-play, and the traditional candle lighting to encourage the mythical flagged-revisions extension to make its way on to the wiki. At this point, I usually mention that sitting wiki arbitrators are compelled to buy everyone a drink, but one of our number has taken a rather extreme route in avoiding this duty - if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you're probably busy writing and maintaining articles - but come along anyways on the 21st October, from 18.30 til late, to find out :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
