I have two requests for people coming here:

• If you intend to revert to personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
• If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hippo

I recieved a message from somebody asking whether I could contribute some references to the hippo article and I lost it already. I have no computer skills. Can you please retrieve the message for me or tell me who the person was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Heterozygous Tiger

What they're talking about is called a "golden tabby tiger." Not all heterozygous tigers look like this. I think that's what they're talking about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 16:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Heterozygous Tiger

I wrote a few lines about golden tabby tigers in the stripeless white tiger section of the white tiger article a while back, which are still there. That's all I know about them. I know it was JayHenry who contacted me about the hippos, but I can't figure out how to leave a message for him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 16:19, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Heterozygous Tiger

Thanks for the message. If by Heterozygous Tiger they don't mean golden tabby then I think it's confusing. On the white tiger article the term heterozygous is used in reference to the white gene only, but the same tigers would be both heterozygous for millions of other genes and also homozygous for millions. To give an example Queen Victoria was heterozygous for the gene for hemophilia. She was'nt a hemophiliac, but she carried the recessive gene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

JayHenry

I have gone to his user page and tried clicking on discussion and talk in blue, but I can't figure out how to leave a message. Will you please tell him if I can help with the hippopotamus article I'd be happy to. Does he know I added to the reference sections of pygmy hippopotamus and Billy (pygmy hippoptamus) already? Sorry for the bother. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Heterozygous Tiger

I wrote about heterozygous tigers being larger than average, like white tigers, in the white tiger article. The source was Kailash Sankhala's book Tiger ! 1977. The complete bibliographical reference is in the white tiger bibliography, including the publisher. He never uses the term "heterozygous" or heterozygote in his book. Neither does Sara Iversin in her 1982 article, but she talks about heterozygous tigers, like Kanchana. Both of Thornton's Journal of Zoology articles from 1967 and 1978 could be used as references for the Heterozygous Tiger article. I was reading the "Golden Tabby Tiger" article. It says their coloration is due to a separate gene, but I'm sure this is false. The golden tabby tiger coloration results from the interaction of the white and orange gene, and they are a form of heterozygous tiger. Both the golden tabby tiger and the stripeless white tiger appeared more or less simultaneously in the early 1980s out of the white strains. Golden tabby tigers are often born in litters with white tigers. I am convinced that the golden tabby results from the combination of a stripeless white gene and an orange gene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 16:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Region of Nunavut

Hi, I noticed you place the Ottawa Islands in a specific region. here is your edit. Could you please tell me where we could find information which says specifically the Ottawa Islands are part of that region. I looked at the article Qikiqtaaluk Region and it's references and couldn't find anything to substantiate. --CyclePat 07:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. The reason I ask you that is because of reference #1 from the Ottawa Islands which says Standard Geographical Classification Volume II: Reference Maps (SGC 2006). Online database: Map Series: Census Division - Census Subdivision. Geography: 23. Nunavut (9.9 MB). Map "Nunavut". Statistics Canada, Ottawa, 2007. Accessed 05-11-2007. Note: This information is based on the analysis of primary information provided within the map and is supported by secondary information in reference #2 (NRCAN). Reference #2 clearly states that the location of Ottawa Islands is within Nunavut. By cross referencing with NRCAN it is possible to conclude that Ottawa Islands is not only part of Nunavut but of Census Division #4 or Baffin Region, Nunavut. This, may or may not contradict your inference. Are census divisions different compared to regions? --CyclePat 06:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Sabah Wildlife Department

while trying to understand an edit of user Tabdulla I accidentally noticed your deletion of Sabah Wildlife Department. The reason was (Prod:lack of notability).

As a reader (sic!), I'm interested in some info on legal institutions in some distant countries. Accidentally - I do know something of the wild life in Sabah, and even thought about a trip to there. I don't sure about this case... SWD (I confused it first with an other organisation, research one, which i intended to defend here:)) as i see at 1st glance - is primary licensing-permitting (and may be sometimes research) government organisation. My intended objection was that i came across the name twice last year, reading popular geographic magazine and watching TV (being far away from Borneo)... but now i examined... i confused it:) So i do not sure that SWD deserves being here.

But i remember where i saw your name 1st time. The article on Eureka or some other Ellesmere station... with a few ppl staff. Thats why i'm leaving this note:) Else i would pass... Well, I'm Russian, not Canadian. But still was interesred in those stations for some (silly) reason.

So, please. Be carefully, what is distant country for us - is home country for somevody else (Tabdulla?). How do you think - do US/Candian/UK gov.institutions deserve coverage on WP? I'm sure, Wiki (it's main difference between WP and any paper pedia) won't get 'too big' because of 'too many' articles. And there some topics, may be, for which it's best to write short description, history and the link rather then a huge text, but which are still deserving separate header? http://www.sabah.gov.my/jhl/ - SWD http://www.vokrugsveta.ru/img/cmn/2006/11/28/049.jpg - just forest in the state of Sabah:) --83.237.27.0 16:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Praht Thai School

Can we get this page back as there are so man schools on Wiki and I cannot see why we are the only ones targeted. Here is a list for you. Please delete all of them or put us back up. We were originally deleted in error I believe and have since become some sort of table tennis game. We worked hard to fix any crtiscisms of the article and content and to Wikifyit too yet to no avail. Please support us is all ewe ask. PTSch (talk) 09:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC) Here is the list on Wiki in our category:

List of schools in Thailand 42 of these listed schools (blue links) have Wiki Pages.....how so different?....no notability or anything like we are being asked to provide Thanks in anticipationof your help. PTSch (talk) 09:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

See my comments on your pagePTSch (talk) 09:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Also here is a copy of my submission to the Deleted page review I am anout to submit

1. Internationalised Curriculum

We read the above discussion and remain confused as to what everyone was looking at as we saw:-

1. added notability-proving articles on the site
2. Following the article we also note how the so-determined 'advertising aspect' was removed even to the extent that the school mentioned as the first site of implenmentation was removed from the article though we feel that was strange as it was the first school comminssioned to run the curriculum
3. One user we note who was blocked by one of your "editors" because he put up a series of article links to support the Internationalised Curriculum area. This was clearly ignored as the resource that it was and the user was simply cut off - consensus?

Was no one looking at all this or was that improvement effort secondary to consensus on deletions? I note with some dissppointement the 'stars' editors proudly display on their talk pages showing how prolific they are in Deleting or Stopping Spammers etc smacks of the BoyScouts not serious international responsibilty of editing a serious work such as Wikipedia and certainly not in the Wikipedia spirit I would have thought at all. At least not consistent ewith the little comments that pop up on the top on my Wiki screen.

2. Praht Thai School

Well how did this get so out of control??? Praht Thai is a school just like:

List of schools in Thailand 42 of these listed schools (blue links) have Wiki Pages.....how so different?....no notability or anything like we are being asked to provide

These are all happily listed with articles all beautifully left in peace...so why the Praht Thai Target??? Will these now be all summarily deleted or will Praht Thai SchoolItalic text be allowed back up?

It cannot be sensible that the prime reason for agreeing to delete an article is that someone had deleted it before and then it was reposted. What? Did someone take offense to the repost of a legitinmate article and dig their editing heels in? But alals I see from the above that it is the main reason for deletion...."someone had previously deleted it and look the naughty people put it back...how dare they!"

Oh, and please stop quoting Wikipedia guidleines...they are followed only when justifying a negative action. No reasonableness ensures - discussions on this site have lasted 1 hour and been by one or two editors only - see the Praht Thai Schools Disccussion page...which is where it is supposed to be discussed.....I only just found this page here thanks to a courteous editor who let us know about it.

By the way I have read many of the home pages of the editors who eem to have targeted our site and I must say juvenile opinion abounds in many. One "editor" even stated that including of a certain information type was not to be tolerated calling it "bollocks" - so it seems his view takes precedence over consensus - well why not I believe he was almost 22 years old and so I guess is the holder of the key of knowledge and understanding.

Please help me understand this attitude before we totally give up on Wikipedia as a resource worth considering any further. Are we frustrated - you can bet we are. Can we resolve this ....or will someone simply block our account now that we speak our mind? PTSch (talk) 09:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your reversion of Rush Limbaugh

My edit was to move a section down to the appropriate place in the chronology. I think that it originally got reverted because someone vandalised the page after my edit, and then someone using popups rolled back too far. (It has happened elsewhere too.) I keep trying to tell folks to check very carefully before reverting. Whether you agree with the edit or not, I can't say. But common Wikipedia courtesy requires the use of an edit summary when the reversion is not for simple vandalism. Cheers, 71.182.215.210 (talk) 13:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes that's where I messed it up. There's a sentence and a reference missing when I look at the article which are still there if I go into the edting section. I just discovered messages you've left for me previously which I did'nt see before today. Sorry about that. For the part in the white tiger article where it says (India imposed an export ban) the reference could be (Gee, E.P., 1964 The White Tigers, Animals 3:282-286) or (Gee, E.P., The Wildlife Of India, London: Collins 1964) or (White tiger exports banned, India, NY Times D. 4, 1960 12:2), and Clyde Beatty also mentions the ban in his book. All these references are in the bibliography. Will you look at the messages I left for JayHenry under (Sumatran rhinoceros & white tiger), and also (BigCatRescue), where I explain why I don't think that BigCatRescue or Daniel C. Laughlin's article The White Tiger Fraud are good or credible sources for the wikipedia article. This key board won't let me make a question mark or quotation marks.

Interwiki links for pages from META

I think you did'nt get the point. I'm doing it only for pages which are a copy from META.

In some pages like Help:Page name‎ you can see a template like this:

In these pages, if you put inter-wikipedia links - they will be lost on next synchronization. To help them remain in place, there are some templates and macros.

Try to have a look at the call to {{h:f}} in last lines of Help:Page name‎.

You can see a line like this

{{h:f|langs=|enname=Page name}}

This will call Template:Ph:Page name‎ where you should put inter-wikipedia links and keep them safe from next synchronization of the meta page copy.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more explanation.Ammar 11:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Source of reference for SOMALILAND

Dear Sir

Im somewhat surprised that the information on “Somaliland” is allowed on this site as it is FACTUALLY false. There is no recognised such country, Somaliland is a clandestine group of people namely the Isaq clan who have been inciting clan conflict in the north of Somalia in attempt for recognition. Oct 15th saw another attack on the civilian city of Las Canod causing 90k IDP's reported by the likes of Unicef etc.

Puntland is not a country either but a state of Somalia (such as Texas is to the US). Im happy to pass this information to the Somali authorities in order that this site remains a source of information and not a tool for clan warlord propaganda.

Im not entirely sure how your site determines what is a personal opinion and what is factual as it would seem the personal opinion of war lords is taken as fact in this instance.

white tiger

There has been a notice up for a long time saying that wikipedia frowns on trivia sections, above the popular culture section of the white tiger article, so I took the hint and deleted it, but it was put back within seconds by Undead warrior. I went to his user page, but could'nt figure out how to leave a message. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Mapepire Balsain

Why you deleted that redirect despite the fact that the CSD was contested? Guettarda (talk) 02:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't delete it a second time? How gracious of you. But why do you delete active discussions contesting a CSD? The deletion rationale was nonsense - it wasn't a new page, and quite frankly, one of the reasons we have redirects is to capture alternate capitalisation. What difference does a search box use (does anyone actually use Wikipedia's crappy search engine?) when Mapepire Balsain is a red link? Red links don't lead to search boxes, or have you not noticed?

And since when do you delete active discussions without explanation? Guettarda (talk) 04:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Cornwallis Island (Nunavut)

When you did the page move of Cornwallis Island (Nunavut), your edit summary suggested that you were unsure of why this was required. It was required per WP:MOS, naming conventions for duplicate island names. The person who first did this move did so by copying and pasting, and redirecting the original page, hence the need for cleanup to preserve the edit history. He has done the same thing with Egg Island (Bahamas) and Cockburn Island (Antarctica)‎, both of which are still tagged CSD G6. --Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 03:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

white tiger

Nibras23 inserted a couple of lines into the white tiger article about a member of the rock band Linkin Park killing a white tiger, and being gay. I deleted it. I could'nt find any evidence on the internet that a member of Linkin Park has killed a white tiger and as for whether he's gay-why put that into an article about white tigers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

white tiger

Thanks for the message. I have continued looking and can't find any evidence that Chester Bennington killed a white tiger to impress a friend and has been charged with killing an endangered animal, or that he owns any white tigers.

American Dream

Hello As component of our capstone to earn our B.S. in sociology, my class and I have created a Wikipedia entry for the American Dream from a sociological perspective. You reverted it to the original and said you didnt know what happened to it. It came out a little funky when we tried transferring it from WikiSpaces to here but we are working on it. I just wanted to let you know what we are doing. I didnt want you thinking that were going back and forth putting up our stuff. Its an assaignment that a group of us are required to work on.

My Chemical Romance/Buzznet

Hi there. You deleted my addition of the My Chemical Romance Buzznet community link as well as a few others. Could you please explain why MySpace links are allowed to remain while Buzznet ones are not? We work with the artists, their managers and their record companies directly and have forums, interviews and media that is not available elsewhere. I've had this discussion with other people who have removed my links and they have allowed them to stay. I only put up links to communities that have exclusive content. Our MCR one happens to be the biggest on the web. You marked the link as spam and that felt a bit rash. Could you please reconsider? Should I be explaining all of this in the edit summary? Would that have made a difference? Thanks for reading. Smogqueen (talk) 04:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

So...are you ok with putting those links back up? I noticed that you took them down on several bands/individual musician pages. I don't want to put them back up myself just to have you take them down again. I appreciate your feedback and will do my best to explain better in the future.

Re: Infobox Airport and "none" in IATA code

There isn't any particular reason I changed those infoboxes from "IATA=" to "IATA=none". The program I wrote to generate infoboxes for U.S. airports puts "none" in there. Then I just manually copy any differences from the existing infobox before replacing it with the new one. I should probably leave those fields blank or remove them, since I do prefer the look of the automatically generated none in italics. Thanks for pointing that out. -- Zyxw (talk) 15:37, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Ministro Pistarini International Airport

I have been removing flag icons that were added to airlines to this airport and User:Cdeujm keeps adding it back saying that the flag icons make the article look better. I noticed that you removed the flag icons not too long ago that were added to this airport. Can you send a message to User:Cdeujm telling him about flag in airport articles. I was going to message him about it but he will disagree with me. Thanks! Bucs2004 (talk) 17:53, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

white tiger

There was more vandalism on the white tiger article which was done on 10, Dec., and was promptly repaired on the same date. The vandal left the words "hi it's rhys" in place of a deleted section.

Re: Google Earth again

In response to your message at User talk:Zyxw #Google earth again:

Thanks for the info. It appears the Google Earth team fixed that bug in their coding, since coordinates assigned to an infobox parameter named "coordinates" (as is the case in the articles you mentioned) were supposed to be accepted by Google Earth regardless of whether the {{coord}} template used "display=inline" or "display=title". -- Zyxw (talk) 15:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandals

Thank you very much for that. Is it possible it could have been routed through another computer in a different country because I know a Rhys? Also I think the last time the same section(s) were deleted it was also coincidentally from Aukland, New Zealand, but I think it was done from a university by someone with a user name on that occasion. Thanks again. Sincerely Paul

Vandals

Thanks again. It seems like a strange coincidence that the last time that same section was deleted it was also from Aukland. It was on 1:44, 15 October 2007 156.62.3.22 Aukland University of Technology. It's not the same IP address, but it's the same city both times. I guess it does'nt really matter since the damage was repaired in less than a minute from the time it happened. Sincerely Paul

Personal Attack?

What are talking about, I didnt leave a personal attack that guy kept editing the Douglas MacArthur High School (San Antonio, Texas) page on the part that says Football(USA Football) 1998 State Finalist , I added information that they were State Finalist on the account that the other team that would have played them Katy High School had a player that failed or something so they played in their spot for the State Championship game and lost to Midland Lee High School 53-0. There so dont say I did a personal attack. You got it all wrong dude.Phoenix X91 (talk) 01:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Douglas MacArthur High School (San Antonio, Texas)

This article has been edited endlessly for days. Mainly by the user who you've just warned for profanity. Any suggestions on how to keep said article free of unnecessary editing? Midnight Q (talk) 01:14, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

What if the article was rewritten to look more like John Marshall High School (Leon Valley, Texas)? Replacing the "success" section with a "notable alumni" section would eliminate the need for every school organization/athletics to update every year bloating the article.

vandalism

I should have mentioned that I know someone who has a website about white tigers who recieved a number of unpleasant e-mails from a Rhys who seems to think he owns the subject. That's why I thought it was probably the same person who deleted the section and left the message "hi its rhys". I still think it's a little too coincidental. I think there's a connection.

white tiger

I will create an account. Regarding the other matter he also sent me an e-mail, before the section disappeared twice, in which he objected to the content of that section. He said that private breeders would'nt appreciate having their information put on the internet. I told him that all of that information has already appeared in print and is available elsewhere on the internet. I also told him that I spoke to two of them on the phone and told them I was doing research for a website before asking them any questions. The other two private breeders are dead and this is all ancient history anyway. He did'nt answer. After I saw that message "hi its rhys", left in place of the deleted section I e-mailed him and asked whether he did it. I also told him it was restored before I knew it had been deleted (in under a minute). He did'nt reply to that either. I wonder whether other vandalism was perpetrated from Aukland or Australia. He does'nt live in New Zealand. I know his full name, mailing address and e-mail address. I've mailed him articles about white tigers and spoken to him on the phone. I may not have time to create an account today, but I will soon. Thanks for all the help.

I assume I'm signed in now because of the red thing at the top. I have actually made a point of not using information that came from him in the article because I did'nt want to upset him.

Polar Bear

Hi. There's a problem with the edits done on the polar bear article. It is simply wrong to say that polar bears include berries, seaweed, and roots in their diet. In another location is says "Polar bears may attempt to consume almost anything they can find, including hazardous substances such as styrofoam, plastic, car batteries, ethylene glycol, hydraulic fluid, and motor oil", yet nobody is claiming that motor oil is part of a polar bear's diet. The facts are exactly the same however.

The western hudson bay bear population is unique, in that the bears go without a source of food for 3-4 months, and in the process are starving. What they try to eat is merely a case of what they find. Motor oil or berries, it makes no difference... it has no food value and would be ignored by a healthy bear that had a proper food source.

In fact,no other polar bears typically eat garbage, motor oil, or berries. They sometimes explore dumps, but mostly out of curiosity, and typically do not eat or return.

The problem with the way it was worded, prior to my recent edits (which I made because of an example of this) causes people to believe that polar bears are omivorous like brown bears are. They are NOT. They've lost the teeth to even eat plants! And food like berries might go down, but it does not sustain the bear. See Can. J. Zool. 63(10): 2291?2297 (1985) | doi:10.1139/cjz-63-10-2291 | © 1985 NRC Canada The Significance of supplemental food to polar bears during the ice-free period of Hudson Bay" Lunn and Stirling.

I don't have time to re-edit it right now, but within a day or two will do so. Please to not revert it without discussion and research. The false impression that is currently being given about diet is damaging. Floyd Davidson (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

"white tiger cruelty"

Somebody added a section to the white tiger article titled "white tiger cruelty". I deleted the whole thing. It was rubbish. It said that "people make Siberian tigers mate with Bengal tigers to produce white tigers" and that only 25% of the cubs are white. I know my spelling is bad, but even by my standards the spelling was atrocious. Also what was said about tiger farms and inbreeding problems had all been covered elsewhere in the article. I also believe that it's against wikipedia policy to represent a point of view in this manner. LagunaBeachCA
