"meet in fives"?

In this edit, you say "the edges meet in fives". What does that mean? What I see is three edges meeting at each vertex. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Before the gluing, each end of an edge meets two others at a vertex. After the gluing, each edge is matched to four others along its whole length (and eleven at its end). —Tamfang (talk) 04:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Careful with your holy mission

Concerning your "holy mission" to stamp out "a thing as a term" language, you can be overenthusiastic. For example, the recent change you made in Nudity in film was unwarranted. The original said "Nudity in film" refers to…. The quotation marks around the phrase means that the original poster was characterizing the page itself and its title, not nudity. If it had read Nudity in film refers to... without the quotation marks you would have been correct in changing it. But in this case, you were not. Embram (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that Embram mistook the ''' (bolding) for quotation marks, which have not recently existed in that sentence. —Tamfang (talk) 20:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seal of Minnesota

I have reverted your unblanking of this article as it was undoubtedly copied from this source, and it has been pointed out that Minnesota state works are not automatically PD and so in the absence of an explicit release it must be assumed to be copyrighted, making the article a copyright violation. As the template says, "Do not restore or edit the blanked content on this page" (emphasis original). VernoWhitney (talk) 19:45, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Millrind & the locative

I'm really sorry to have changed back your very correct and judicious edit of tempus to tempore. I was confused in thinking the latter was my original edit and you were saying it should be tempus, so I changed it in an attempt to effect your comment. Just shows my ignorance of Latin. These things are important. (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 12:28, 24 April 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Having given the matter more thought, although your Latin grammar seems correct, and I have found Ciceronian usage in my Latin dictionary to confirm your point, I have always seen it as tempus never as tempore in the writings of Victorian antiquarians, who were no slouches when it came to Latin usage. I'm therefore going to change it back to tempus, to follow their precedent, but would welcome your further observations on this point if any.

I've only seen it as temp.. —Tamfang (talk) 18:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Toponymy in the United Kingdom#Requested move

Hi there Tamfang. First on List of lingua francas, and now at the present requested move, it seems our paths are fated to cross! I just wanted to talk to you about this edit: I don't think a comment like this is going to help the situation, especially with emotions already running high. Do you think you could do one of the things suggested at Wikipedia:Civility#Removing uncivil comments to mitigate the situation? I think it could save a lot of arguing. All the best. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 20:31, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Joyce Summers, has been proposed for a merge with another article.

I have replied to your comment with

"That would do as well. I am not a Buffy fan, so I do not know if she would be considered major or minor; I am just considering WP:NOTJUSTPLOT and WP:N. If she's a minor character, List of minor characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If not, List of Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters."

Please feel free to modify to nomination for merger if you consider List of minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters to be the proper destination. It appears that I do not not know enough about the character to choose the proper destination. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:55, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just wanted to check what your !vote is on the merger; from what you've written I am guessing "merge" but I just want to be sure. By the way, I have changed the destination article per your suggestion. The discussion is now at Talk:List of minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters. Thanks!

Brita Heraldiko

Saluton. Ŝajnas ke vi estas "the right man in the right place": mi tre mallertas en la angla lingvo, kaj tamen mi bezonas ekscii pri la Brita heraldiko, kiu ne estas sen konfliktoj, precipe ĉe "commons", kun la franca. Mia unua kaj ĉefa demando estas : kiuj estas (krom Fox-Davis) la "tenoroj" (la referencoj) en brita heraldiko ?

Vi povas respondi ĉi tie aŭ ĉe mia fr:Wikia paĝo

Mi tre dankas vin. Elkore, Serge Sire

Merci beaucoup !
