Dave the Chameleon

For what it's worth, I think the Dave the Chameleon article was worth doing, and it looks like you tried to make it unbiased and neutral. I don't know if it'll get deleted or not, but you have my support. I think the chameleon jokes are now probably going to be around for about as long as Cameron is, so I reckon it deserves its own article. All the best. KrJDub05 15:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

{{help me}}

How may I help? Brian | (Talk) 19:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Hi - I looked at AfD, and saw lots of articles about Jewish Summer Camps - and though of brigning them together into articles, state by state like Jewish Summer Camps in Maine. I just copy and pasted from the previous articles for that one. Is it alright to do this, or is there a specific procedure, and is it worth continuing with other states?

Golden-crowned Warbler

Hi! The image you uploaded from the commons to this page was of a golden crowned sparrow, not warbler, that was uploaded with the wrong name. Please see that article's talk page for more info! Sabine's Sunbird talk 17:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry - ive asked for the page to be deleted from commons to avoid the confusion I suffered! Martinp23 18:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

List of Czech Jews

Hello, you mistakenly attributed "vandalism" to the recent revert on List of Czech Jews so I have reverted back your revert. Thank you for watching out for vandals but be more careful next time. 72.144.71.124

I think you were quite right. Keep it up.--20.138.246.89 15:01, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Concerning Euphoria (music project) and CSD

I wonder if You have read the CSD guidances on reporting unremarkable people or groups/vanity pages to speedy deletion, please study Wikipedia:Notability (music) to confirm with the policy on speedily deleting musical group articles. feydey 23:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome message placement

Hi! Thanks for welcoming so many new users! I just wanted to let you know that it's customary to place welcome messages on new users' talk pages, not on their user pages. Just something to be aware of. Thanks! —Caesura^(t) 18:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I PLEAD NOT GUILTY!

Dear sir, I did not vandalize. That page was created by my friend and he asked me to fill in more information because I am an expert on fagatrons. Let me put it this way so you understand. Grafiti is vandalism. But if a friend asked you to help him paint his house, it is not vandalism. Thank you.

response to your vote on a merge

please see: Talk:Sculpture_of_Ancient_Greece#Redirect_to_Greek_Statue. Thanks. Ste4k 12:23, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you were hasty...

Well done for getting used to wikipedia so quickly. I was referring to the edits I did in the context of the article (to be honest I didn't want to research too much by going through your talk page history), but I think your comment above does underline the fact that third opinion was the only real way forward. As of just now, I've merged the pages in the direction of the consensus, so I hope this is OK. Thanks Martinp23 20:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Good job on the re-merge. It might be helpful to explain the significant difference between the work you have just performed and how it differs from the incomplete efforts regarding connectivity and orphaning of articles to Nscheffey. I have doubts that he has a complete understanding of my half of the disagreement you have just resolved. Thanks. Ste4k 20:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

• My apologies. It appears that I spoke to soon. Your efforts have deleted major portions of the other article. This was probably unintentional, but it does underscore the reasons that I had mentioned earlier in discussion regarding a split and POV fork. Ste4k 20:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
