![]() | Hello and welcome to my talk page!

Hi there. I just sent you an email. Amsaim (talk) 11:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Amsaim. I've already replied. :) I wouldn't be a problem. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 11:14, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- Amsaim. I just want to let you know that I didn't forgot about my promise. Unfortunately I am just very busy the last time. I would still do the translation when I get the time. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 20:03, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Lourie, thnx for your message. The translation would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 20:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the translation. Could it be that you've placed your translation in the wrong place? The translation of the article is in your sandbox. Your sandbox thus appears in categories where it shouldn't. Amsaim (talk) 14:01, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Lourie, thnx for your message. The translation would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 20:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

ACC
Hi - just a friendly nudge - are you coming back to this one? Thanks. 7 02:44, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi 7. Thanks for reminding me! I completely forgot about the request. I reserved the request while the Toolserver was down, so I couldn't have done a complete lookup. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 10:26, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
aigo MID
You nominated aigo MID for deletion and now some of the content is on aigo, but the spec box is crushing the rest of the text! CRUSHING, so do you care if I, as long as the relevant details are moved to the page proper, delete this box? Yes? You care much greatly about the content of articles you nominate for deletion? I hope you're not a callus, crushing fiend of deletion who makes her/his own rules and answers to no one. A veritable vigilante of the nets, leaving a pristine wake of nought behind. Should I be posting this on the aigo MID page itself?
- Hi Fleetham. You could make any changes to the article you think would be appropriate. If you think it would look good, feel free to do so. I don't make my own rules anyhow, I only patrol pages and when one looks as if it doesn't comply to a guideline, I take action. Sometimes one makes errors, but no one is perfect. Please watch the way you speak to me, keep in mind most people assume good faith. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 20:15, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Notice
Hi. I'm posting to let you know that your name has been mentioned on a list of Highly active users on the talk page for RfA's here. If you are interested in running for administratorship, or if you would like to make any comments, feel free to join the discussion. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 17:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Soap. I ran for adminship earlier this year and I were unsuccessful. Do you think it would be wise to run again in such short time? Kind regards, LouriePieterse 12:58, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
- NOTNOW
But in a few months, I think you'd have a good shot. The message I gave you was just a semi-automated thing I sent out to everybody on the list, even though some of them had just run RfA a few weeks prior. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 00:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, I also thought that it would be to early. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 07:06, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

You found my hidden page! Congratulations! Copy this code to put the barnstar on your userpage:{{User:BIONICLE233/Barnstar}}
It will look like this:User:BIONICLE233/Barnstar
Hello LouriePieterse! I am glad you had fun finding my page, but unfortunately, its being threatened to be deleted. Help me fight for my page here, if you want to. But if you have your own hidden page, I recommend you "lay low" and do not post anything on the linked page. Thank you. BIONICLE233 17:37, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Three mile island
Hello, LouriePieterse. You reverted my addition to "three mile island". I have an account (David_Be) and did nothing strange (like not referencing), since the rest of the section doesn't have any either. care to explain? Thanks. (good faith). --87.5.187.102 (talk) 20:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi David. I didn't revert your changes, I only placed a welcome template on your talk page. Your edits has been reverted by 4twenty42o. Kind regards, 14:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Vanity (clothing)
How good is your Google-fu? I've tried all sorts of words in Google but I can't make it understand that I'm looking for the retail chain. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 16:28, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi TenPoundHammer. I've Googled for the words Vanity, Inc. This way one gets the most accurate results. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 12:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Your edits to Jaikoz
Hello, you recently removed the {{notability}} tag from the Jaikoz article with an edit comment "Removed template, as article is notable". However, the article still obviously fails the General notability guideline: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article"
The article does not cite any independent sources. (And no, the MusicBrainz link is not independent because Jaikoz is paying MusicBrainz for their promotion). If you would like to improve the situation, add some citations to published reliable sources. -- intgr [talk] 05:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi intgr. I've Googled for the term, and found various sources that mention Jaikoz. It even featured in a news article by Reuters. This indications made me fought that it is notable. Please help me if I am wrong. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 12:25, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi! The Reuters link you listed is a press release, not a news article. It only gives one passing mention of "Jaikoz Audio Tagger" — certainly not "significant coverage". As can be seen in the bottom, it's written by "e5 Marketing, Inc." on behalf of Amplified Music Services and published by Business Wire — certainly not an independent source. -- intgr [talk] 12:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for helping me out. My mistake. :) Kind regards, LouriePieterse 12:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

TESOL Greece
Dear Lourie, Thank you for your prompt reply. I don't know how to improve the TESOL Greece page. Could you please give me some insights? Thank you, Costas Pitychoutis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pitychoutis (talk • contribs) 15:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Pitychoutis. I would suggest that you keep an eye on the deletion page. There you would get all types of comments. You could use these comments as guidelines to improve the article. I hope this have helped. :) Kind regards, LouriePieterse 19:37, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Spotlight Newsletter - October
The Spotlight Newsletter, Issue III : October 2009 | |
---|---|
Wikiproject After great success with Marco Polo (and his sheep!), Dry ice went pretty well. USS Massachusetts (BB-59) was challenging, and with Monkey, the project faded: Battle of the Nobles and Oil got little attention. |
We need your help! Spotlight is a collaboration - it works really well when lots of people get involved. It doesn't matter what skills you bring, because between us, we can do great things. Even if you make one, simple edit - if 100 people do that, we'll have made significant progress, and we all benefit by learning from each other. |
Current article This time, we've created a brand-new article, and between us we're confident of achieving a Did you know... on the main page, and work towards getting the article rated as C-class or B-class. |
Father Aengus Finucane died on 6 October at the age of 77; he was an Irish priest who did lots of work helping refugees of world conflicts, and was the head of the charity Concern. There are plenty of reliable sources, so it should be easy to write this - so please help out by editing the article. |

Thanks again, I didn't expect such a welcome!

Your edit of Logicus's User Page.
Please remove your yesterday's edit of my user page immediately and restore it such that my signature appears in red again ! --Logicus (talk) 18:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Logicus. You're signature appeared red, since the page didn't exist. You call it a red link. As the page was created, it is impossible to revert it to the original state. If you want you're signature to display red, you could use the following coding:
'''<font color="#ED0000">[[User:Logicus|Logicus]]</font>'''
. By using it, it would produce the following signature: Logicus. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 05:07, 28 October 2009 (UTC)- Thanks for the technical font pallaver info, but nevertheless please now delete the page you created to restore the previous status quo. And please don't interfere with my user pages again. Is there not a rule against doing what you have done ? Or some technical block on anybody other than the user creating a user page for them ? --Logicus (talk) 18:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- As I have said already, I could not delete the page, I could only revert my edit. Even if I do it, there would still be a page, just with nothing on it. You could file a CSD if you really want it deleted. Nope, there is no rule stating that. You could read trough the userpage guidelines, I just added a userpage notice. You have been a long time here, so please, it would be appreciated if you assume good faith. Kind regards, LouriePieterse 05:38, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Astronomy Articles
Hi and thank you for looking at that! No one has taken up the offer yet, so you're free to go ahead and have at it. No time limit, other than the expiration date (which is next year sometime). Thanks again! Any questions just ask. Marx01 Tell me about it 22:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for coming back to me. I would write it as I get the time, but I am sure it wont be a problem. :) Kind regards, LouriePieterse 06:04, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- What kind of improvements to which articles? Let me know on my talk page -- perhaps I can help out.Canuck100 (talk) 07:24, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Canuck100. Sorry for taking so long to reply, I am currently very busy in real life. I've read about this award on the reward board. You should check out the reward board, there is all types of rewards! Kind regards, LouriePieterse 07:50, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Feedback on ENA Page
I've created my first Wikipedia page on Energetic Neutral Atoms. 10 days ago I'd never heard of ENAs but an announcement about new results on the heliosphere based on ENA imaging piqued my interest and I discovered that there was no page about them. I had some assistance from another experienced person regarding format and such but would appreciate someone reviewing the article and providing feedback. I've asked for feedback as to accuracy of content from some folks who are specialists in the field as well. Thanks! Canuck100 (talk) 07:21, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Canuck! Sorry for the long time it took me to reply. It is always great if editors take the route you followed in creating an article that is needed. With what exactly do you want me to help you? Check the format, or check for the accuracy? Kind regards, LouriePieterse 09:07, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's accurate and the format is OK. I have a goal of making it a GA. Is it close? If now, what should I do to improve it? Thanks Canuck100 (talk) 09:10, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- I could maybe check it trough sometime for you. I've written a few GA's. Unfortunately I am currently very busy until next Tuesday. I wont be able to do a thing till then. If it is fine with you, then I would check it then for you. LouriePieterse 11:13, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Afrikaanse Wikipedia
Beste Lourie, jammer om van die nederlaag in die Trusteeraadverkiesing te hoor. Alhoewel ek vir jou gestem het, het ek, met alle eer gesê, gedink jy was bietjie oorentoesiasties indien jy gedink het jy sou 'n plek op die raad kry. In elk geval, het jy dit al intussen oorweeg om by die Afrikaanse Wikipedia by te dra? Soos jy weet is die projek redelik klein en is daar baie plek vir bydraes soos die skep van nuwe artikels, formattering van bestaandes en die skep van infrastruktuur soos hulpbladsye, ens. — Adriaan (T★C) 11:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- Halo Adriaan. Jammer dat ek so lank gevat om terug te kom na jou toe, ek is op die oomblik maar besig met die eksamens. Ek het al voor die verkiesing begin het geweet ek gaan nie in kom nie, maar ek het geweet dit gaan 'n goeie ondervinding wees en ander deure vir my oop maak. Ek het na die Afrikaanse Wikipedia gekyk; en ek stem saam met jou dat daar nog baie werk is om gedoen te word. Persoonlik sal ek graag aan die infrastruktuur wil help bydra. Sonder 'n goeie infrastruktuur kan mens nie verwag dat ander bydraers moet met gemak kan bydra nie. Ek het baie hooi op my vurk, maar sal plek kan maak vir dit. Ek is tans besig om met DARPA te onderhandel, want hulle stel belang in my patent, so dit neem baie van my tyd. Daar is ook 'n kans dat ek gaan betrokke raak by 'n span wat deelneem aan die Google Lunar X PRIZE, maar niks is nog finaal nie. Ek waardeur die feit dat jy my gekontak het. Groete, LouriePieterse 11:08, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
