Template:Education by country

Why did you delete Template:Education by country without first dealing with the pages that were still using the template? I have removed the template from Category:Education by country

Other pages that still need to be fixed include:

• Template talk:Education
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Education/Navigation templates

Then there are the various user pages, but those are a different matter, but the three linked pages about should have been dealt with prior to deleting the template. Dbiel ^(Talk) 19:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Request

Hi, as a regular TFD closer, could you close one nomation for me (either as keep or delete). See Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 June 28#Template:Greek Female Artists. It's already going on for a while. And I might be totally wrong, but some of the more recent votes remind me of wp:duck, so a close would be nice. Garion96 (talk) 06:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Um excuse me, it seems that there were an equal amount of keeps and deletes and several unanswered responses. Grk1011 (talk) 12:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the close. Garion96 (talk) 21:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Native american

Hello, Woohookitty! Would you mind reinstating the above re-direct even though it defaults to the capitalized Native American? Two reasons: 1) re-directs are cheap; 2) it will prevent someone from re-creating it anyway, and more people watch existing articles (or re-directs) than they watch red links. Some of these race links are subject to abuse and I was trying to stay one step ahead of the idiots. If not, would you mind if I re-created it? Rgrds. --Tombstone (talk) 17:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Baseball Newsletter

The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter Issue I – July 2008

"A home opener is always exciting, no matter if it's home or on the road." - Yogi Berra News and announcements Welcome to the first Baseball WikiProject Newsletter, dated Tuesday, July 15, 2008. The Article Improvement Drive has been revived. Check it out! The Outreach department is in the works, please contribute your ideas! Featured content In the past month, WikiProject Baseball has had the following articles promoted to Featured Article status: Art Houtteman 1926 World Series St. Louis Cardinals seasons Philadelphia Phillies seasons List of Major League Baseball players from Puerto Rico This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept.

News from the diamond The 79th MLB All-star Game is scheduled for this evening. The 2008 Home Run Derby took place yesterday. Justin Morneau defeated Josh Hamilton in the final round, 5 home runs to 3, although Hamilton broke a record with 28 home runs hit in the first round. From the Editors Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29

Categories for templates

FYI but when a template has the {{documentation}} tag then categories and interwikis go in the documentation page. Gary King (talk) 05:12, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Hm it should always work, as long as it has the includeonly tags. Perhaps the page needed purging? Gary King (talk) 05:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

your edits to Demographics of the Arab League

please explain your edits to Demographics of the Arab League. i do not think that they help the article, in your "tidying" you have simply made the article harder to understand. Please explain your logic on my talk page or I will revert your edits in short order. Thank you for your compliance!. Notepad47 (talk) 08:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

your threats on my user page

how do you mean that my stay will be a short one? are you threatening me, my life or property? are you threatening to get rid of me? please clarify your statement immediately on my talk page or i will contact the authorities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notepad47 (talk • contribs) 09:05, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

but y ou did make comments about my attitude. i'm just being extra helpful why do you have to be so negative? are you just complacent with how things are? i'm sure if you tried you could be as helpful and articlulate as i am. Notepad47 (talk) 09:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

how am i attacking people? i realize that i am being very helpful and putting a lot of effort in, but i dont see why that should be considered an attack. isn't the idea behind wikipedia that we should all challenge each other to produce the best possible work? what is your take on this? i think complacency is bad. Notepad47 (talk) 09:23, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

i guess i see your point. so, as an experienced administrator would it be correct for me to gather that you would rather see me just correct what i percieve as mistakes instead of consulting people on the changes they've made? i guess i was afraid that i would make a mistake, or that someone would be upset or offended that i would alter their work without consulting them first. thank you for taking the time to help me with this i really want to help out i'm just learning i guess. thanks!

ANotepad47

This guy has gone whacko. 09:15, 22 July 2008.

I am out today before the clowns come to eat me ... there must be a heatwave somewhere and all the good minds on the wikipedia melted. --Lucyintheskywithdada (talk) 09:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree; this person has gone nuts. Here he says he is "reverting vandalism" when he is reverting good-faith edits. Please help! (I am using an anonymous IP because I've seen how ANotepad47 stalks people and do not wish to be stalked.) 69.10.33.204 (talk) 14:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Indians

Hey, sorry about that. Didn't mean to say not a link - just meant to say it's not a page (other than being disambiguous). Well anyway I didn't realise you were trying to disambiguate it, so I apologise once again for any inconvenience --Maurice45 (talk) 18:12, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

how am i being uncivil? he and i are engaged in a discussion. if he wished to end it, he could simply say so. why do you find it necessary to end our conversation?

Notepad47 (talk) 06:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

according to what standard does my use of the word "ignorant" make me uncivil? Keep in mind daedalus used the word as well. Please show me a documented policy which dictates that use of the word "ignorant" is uncivil. Is the NY Times being uncivil by using the word in the following three articles? I think it is a word, a word with a negative connotation I admit but since when in discussion do we have to be happy and compliment each other 24/7? passionate debate requires the use of the words we find appropiate and you are encouraging a chilling effect (term).
