Error with your 'popup' tool

Hi, you made an edit on the Audi S and RS models article (05.59, 2 June 2009), but I had to undo it - because the edit you changed it to was completely the wrong context. Perhaps you would like to check the settings of your popup tool, and revert any other automotive articles which were changed. Kind regards. 78.32.143.113 (talk) 11:22, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of content in Rob_Shepherd entry

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rob_Shepherd&action=history

Hi. On May 27 you undid additions I had made to this page: your action was on the grounds that two entries for two different people sharing the same name were confusing and you suggested another page should be started to say what I had to say. But how do I start a separate entry with the same name as the existing entry?

In practice: there are two people with the same name who've both had UK media careers and who should not be confused with each other and have the right to equal prominence within Wikipedia. Is it possible to have two entries with the same name? If not, surely there need to be two entries on the same page, otherwise how would one resolve who has primary title to their own name?

Be grateful for your advice.

Scouts Royale Brotherhood

I cleaned up the article and added some additional information. I took off the various header messages including the proposed delete. Please let me know your opinion of the upgraded article. Disclaimer: I'm a brother of the USA fraternity whose Filipino equivalent is responsible for founding SRB, so I have some vested interest, but hopefully, I've kept a NPOV.Naraht (talk) 13:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

While my membership is related, 99.99% of the brothers in Alpha Phi Omega-USA have no idea who Scouts Royale Brotherhood is, the cultures between the USA and Philippines fraternities are *significant*. I'm on both the National "International Relations Committee" and the National "History and Archives Committee" which adds up to being an Alpha Phi Omega geek. :).

The Alpha Phi Omega page actually has its purpose (which is almost identical) in paragraph three in the header. I think it might not be so bad on Scouts Royale Brotherhood if it weren't an H2 header. If I could move it down to H3, do you have a suggestion for what header might include them all? Also, I *think* it is an exact quote, but unfortunately most of the www.srb-lfs.org site requires logging in. I'm going to go ask on a Philippino Fraternity webboard that I'm on to see if I can get something.Naraht (talk) 15:20, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I think we're pretty much agreed on the destination, I just have to figure out how to get there. Do you want to put one of the header templates back then? Also, any idea for a replacement section Title at the H2 level, so I can push it down to H3?Naraht (talk) 15:45, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, one of those things that get put up at the top of the article saying that it needs something like to be proofread or redone for NPOV.

Whoops, put the response oon my page. I decided on "Standards" as the H2.Naraht (talk) 15:52, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Goals may be OK, but I'm looking for something wider that might cover everything from purpose to official flower (if they have one).

I'll keep an eye on it anyway. The pages for the Fraternities in the Philippines get an incredible number of edits from brothers who don't have english as their first language and only care about their own fraternity as opposed to the rest of Wikipedia. I'm the primary editor on List of fraternities and sororities in the Philippines, you should see some of the edits...

At least for most of them, their first language is english. I may end up learning Tagalog to understand some the comments/vandalism.

Would you be interested in an e-mail interview?

endulge my trespassing on your time. I'm a university student at Seoul National University, and I'm currently working on a research project on Wikipedia. Right now I am concentrating on understanding the 'Consensus' principle, and I realized that here statistical numbers or explicit talks would leave me without any clue... unless I first get a picture of the whole thing. So I'm searching for live voices, for accounts of active users.

I see you are highly active in Wikipedia, so I thought your experience and opinions would be a great help. Would you by any chance care for an email interview? You just have to answer several questions, but it will be of tremendous meaning for me. If you have the time, please contact me on my user talk page and I'll mail you the questions.

Thanks for reading.

General Notability Guidelines for entries "Musikvergnuegen" and "Walter Werzowa"

I represent Musikvergnuegen and Walter Werzowa in arranging their Wikipedia pages, and I was wondering what I can do to remove the General Notability warning at the top of the entry. I saw that you had checked the pages, but I believe I have included reliable secondary sources. Please let me know.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.212.147.98 (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Reliable sources: Twitter?

Hey! I know we don't consider random blogs to be reliable sources of information, but does Twitter fall under that category? I ask because Nigel Lythgoe has an account, and his updates have included the [currently unsourced] information that Louis Van Amstel, Shane Sparks, and Wade Robson are going to choreograph/judge for SYTYCD this season. Since he's the producer, I would assume he's as reliable a source as we can get, besides news reporting and announcements on the show itself. What do you think?

Despotate of Epirus languages

Could you please join Talk:Despotate of Epiros, and help us resolve an issue regarding main languages. The user Alexikua claims that Albanian migrations were limited and he moves Albanian language from main languages of the area to limited use languages. I have provided the necessary sources that clarify totally the issue of Albanian being a main language, but he just keeps reverting them. Could you take part in the clarification of the issue as you are an admin? --Sarandioti (talk) 10:48, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for interrupting, it seems there was a comfusion about the language of the Despotate of Epirus, Saradioti cumfused the Despotate of Epirus with the Despotate of Arta (althought that's explained on the article's first line) which was Albanian speaking indeed.

The migration argument concerns the geographic region of Epirus not the identity of the Despotate of Epirus. Moreover the books he provides claim that there was a continuous struggle between the Despotate of Epirus and Albanian clans (however he claims the opposite that it was Albanian itself).

Turkmen people and Turcoman etc

Hi, Woohookitty. I have noticed the large number of links you made recently to Turkmen people. Please know that many of these links are not accurate. Turcoman is a name assigned to the semi-nomadic populations of Oghuz Turks who inhabited large parts of Anatolia, the Middle East, and the Iranian plateau. It is primarily a historical designation. While the modern Turkmen people are related, the two groups are usually considered distinct. When I write the word "Turcoman" in an article, I tend to leave it unlinked as there is not yet a satisfactory article to link to. Perhaps the most accurate would be Oghuz Turks or the section of that article entitled Oghuz_Turks#Turcoman_.26_Turkmen. Aramgar (talk) 16:37, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. Some of your changes however were perfectly appropriate. Regards, Aramgar (talk) 14:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

New article

Hi Woohookitty,

I am new to Wikipedia discussions so I do apologise if this is not the correct place to ask this :)

I recently added a new article that you deleted as being too advertorial.

What should I do or change to make this acceptable for Wikipedia?

Many thanks!
