Hi, I saw your edits to Whalley. You need to put double brackets around the article that you're trying to redirect to. You can learn more about editing by trying Wikipedia:Tutorial, or ask questions at Wikipedia:Help desk. Best wishes, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:39, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

"smugly pedantic"

If you toss names around like that, I will notch-down my respect for your comments. Also, did you read this link?

What is your source for this article? KeithTyler 17:01, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

Kudos for writing that article single-handedly. It's fascinating and well-written. ~ FriedMilk 16:58, 2004 Sep 2 (UTC)

Helo word porgarm

Actually, not a typo but an artifact. When "internal memo" was still at the beginning of that description it really did need "an". But thanks, I tend to forget things like that. Aliter 20:51, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

It could just be me, but recent edits to this article seem to me to say way too much about how great MIT is, and seem to be moving it in the direction of being a bland PR puff job. I'd appreciate it if previous contributors would keep an eye on this article and make sure it reflects a reasonable consensus about what "neutrality" means. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 19:43, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Maple

Hi Gzuckier - any chance you could spread the new pics at maple out a bit more, so they don't overlap and clog up the page layout? Also I'd understood that conditional use copyrighted images were no longer considered desirable (being contrary to the free use ethic of wikipedia), I may be wrong there but it would be worth checking. Thanks - MPF 22:12, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Underscores

Hello. There is no need for the underscores in the link to Mark V Shaney, i.e., you don't have to write Mark_V_Shaney, and it looks better without those things. Michael Hardy 21:15, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Wiki syntax

Hi Gzuckier. Any reason why single brackets need a nowiki tag (eg as on methotrexate)? JFW | T@lk 17:37, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

...dunno, seems to me that your addition is inherantly POV, in that it proffers an explanation for the lack of one particular usage that isn't really born out by anything other than speculation -- I think the article stands better without your addition: it just states the fact that the inclusion of Arabs in the term "anti-semitism" has not caught on. --jpgordon{gab} 18:26, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Gzuckier

I have deleted several of your stub articles on museums. You can't create articles without content. Feel free to re-create these articles with actual text when you have more time. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 21:48, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your additions to enzyme clarifying and expanding points, the article is improving! One small request, though, please don't forget to fill out the edit summary. Thanks. --Lexor|Talk 17:07, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Holocaust talk page

Please be a bit more careful when dealing with Holocaust denial.. especially when chatting with anonymous/unsigned users.. (As user Jayig suggested -its probably troll-bait >of the nazi kind< put to catch people out and get them to provide a legit looking platform for their deliberate disinformation. I was going to reply to them - but u did so first.. Its probaby not the place to wax lyrical e.g:
"So that sort of leaves the significance of the Jews vis a vis the Holocaust as kind of the canary in the coal mine of sociological pathology, I guess."

HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. I noticed you have edited some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 18:05, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

Yale deaths

Gzuckier, I now realise that you have arguments which you at least feel strongly about, and you aren't adding the section to Yale about deaths on campus purely to start some argument, so I am willing to let you add this section if you wish and will leave it alone. I added you to the 3RR section because at the time I was dealing with a few other similar disputes on the Bill Clinton page and the Franklin D. Roosevelt page, where users were continually undoing changes agreed upon, and the anon. user you were most at war with seemed to have a strong case.

Anyway, I can see you have a serious belief that your edits belong on the Yale page, so I will step aside and let you go ahead with these changes. And if anyone else has objections, let them argue their own cases. That's all I want to say. I'd welcome a response from you. Harro5 (talk · contribs) 10:23, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not proud, but sometimes people can be so annoying.... - Nunh-huh 17:47, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I wonder at the judgement of those who would rather try to precipitate a "war of escalating quotes" than simply admit the word prestigious is not in dispute in this instance. The quotation hunt, at least, is a game I'll decline to play <g>. - Nunh-huh 18:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Working Man's Barnstar

I, blankfaze, hereby award you this Working Man's Barnstar, for your great, great work on Deadwood and related articles.

I just wanted to give you this as a token of my appreciation for your great work on Deadwood and various related articles. You've greatly expanded the article in a short time. And the articles on the figures in Deadwood history/characters on the programme are realyl great to have! Try to do E. B. Farnum next maybe :-P... Anyhow, seriously, really, really awesome work! BLANKFAZE | (что??) 01:59, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oh, hey, by the way — check out the collection of images of historic Deadwood I've uploaded to Commons: Deadwood, South Dakota. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 02:40, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi there.

Thanks for your vote in [1]. Some people humilated your vote and others. i added them in vandalism in progress. please share your idea about it. Many thanks

Hi,

I was about to ask the same question on Wikipedia talk:Image use policy/copyright. Did you ever find out? CTOAGN 15:28, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bush disputes

You voted in an earlier poll about the George W. Bush article. There's now a more elaborate poll on the same subject. If you want to comment and/or express a preference for any of the listed alternatives, you'll find it here. JamesMLane 05:43, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism on your user page

I took the freedom to revert some vandalism on your user page, hope it was ok. -- Elisson | Talk 2 July 2005 14:19 (UTC)

Thank you :)

Though I'm sure some people will take it as serious evidence of such a cabal. Jayjg (talk) 5 July 2005 03:35 (UTC)

George Bush

Thanks for pointing out my revert mistake. I was trying to remove the reference to "semen" where it used to be "treaty" but ended up reverting to an even worse vandalism. I think we have it now, though. - Tεxτurε 5 July 2005 19:11 (UTC)

Help a poor Jew out

I really am poor ($0/year income, $650+/mo. in bills). What would it require to at least receive the dubious honor of a wikicabal barnstar? I'm feeling particularly barnstarved right now...  :-p Tomer TALK July 6, 2005 09:33 (UTC)

Numerus clausus

Gzuckier, would you consider moving the main body of your Anti-Semitism Numerus clausus additions to Numerus clausus article and leaving its summary? IMHO, unnecessary redundancy is wiki's plague. --Ttyre 17:06, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Song located

Check this out: Oh! Dat Watermelon lyrics, listed at libraries & worldcat as the actual song in the film about racism that you mentioned. I suspect Foster and Schoolcraft were sometimes confused with each other because Foster was better known. I plan to view the interesting-sounding film sometime, thanks (will have to drive to do it; few copies are to be found around the U.S. at libraries, but i have located the one nearest me that has a copy). (Scroll down on this page for the song you had mentioned, no ref. in it to watermelons, do a text search on the page for "massa's in de" to find lyrics.) Thanks for introducing me to the film. Bebop 15:18, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have a few more things to say that I've learned about this song and film, but will do so by email. I am mostly sure though that I have found the right song though. And for just now it's probably just as well not to reply to my userpage for something till I archive what's there in a few days and have a blank page again. P.S. both "Massa's in de Cold Cold Ground" by Foster and Schoolcraft's "Oh! Dat Watermelon" are in the film (the first of the two songs is not where the film got its name though). Bebop 17:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

J. Lott

A user by the name of Hipocrite removed your most recent edit. I put it back, but if you feel it should be removed, that is your decision. I saw nothing wrong with it, Hipocrite apparently thinks there's nothing ground breaking in Lott's work. I happen to disagree. Al Lowe 21:53, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

minor question of correct number of pronoun (Protocols)

There is a link to 'false document' here, but the meaning of the false document article appears to relate to artistic creations, rather than to forgeries of this sort.

Are we top posting here or bottom posting? Anyway, are the Protocols an 'It' or a 'They'? I'd be inclined to consider them a they, but most of the editing seems to think otherwise. ?? PS Sam Spade, nice edit, kept the point I was trying to make, in a NPOV type of way. Gzuckier 19:19, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)


It's definitely "they" and it is "authors" not an author, as the research of Cesare de Michelis shows [Italian professor, Russian literature if I am correct. His study is now translated in English: http://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/bookinfo/4546.html

The Non-Existent Manuscript A Study of the Protocols of the Sages of Zion By Cesare G. De Michelis Translated by Richard Newhouse

Basically he reconstructs the original manuscript based on the still existent variants. Even in its earliest states of creation one can see that many different authors had their fingers in the creations adding or if you like contributing rather freely. So sorry, no author but some kind of teamwork or forging process.

Hi Dad!

you have s strange combination of interests it seems. LeaNder 18:30, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know

I've voted. Meanwhile, I have run into what I consider disruptive behaviour and WP:POINT at List of political epithets. In my view, User:Liftarn has been removing material and asking for citations for material which has already been cited, and has been insisting on citations exclusively for, and inserting NPOV notices in, Jewish-related epithets, when no citations have been provided for any of the other epithets on the page, and when he has raised no specific objections in Talk:. Could you possibly take a look? Jayjg (talk) 15:53, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have actually not removed anything, it's just commented away awaiting citations (real ones, not invented). As Jayjg is pushing his POV in those areas it's ofcourse those areas that get attention for NPOVing. It should be noted that who first started requiering sources for everything was Jayjg. // Liftarn
