Joseph BorovskyHi. In regards to your comment on my bd-bio tag, I initially did a Google Test on Joseph Borovsky which failed miserably. However, when combined with the phrase physics it did in fact return many hits, and so I will be reviewing the article in that context. Thanks for the feedback.Revpfil 00:04, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

If you see me doing something wrong, need help, or just want to have a chat, please don't hesitate to drop by :) – riana_dzasta 07:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC) I'm also glad you found my comments at your RfA constructive.

You have been very helpful and I wouldn't want to carelessly jettison you as was done to the forests in "Silent Running".Canticle 03:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Dear AnthonyI read your comment on the Goebbels' discussion page concerning the pictures where you stated that your opinion might not be worth a great deal, just thought I should mention that it clearly is as you have contributed to the article alot, both by making edits and conferring with adam about the Doctor.Gavin Scott 20:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC) Edit questionI was wondering if an edit like this is appropriate. I am going to remove it since it is about the character and not the actor, and because it is about some future event that has not yet happened. If you would let me know if that is wrong, I would appreciate it! Thanks. -- Whereizben - Chat with me - My Contributions 20:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
My RfAIn reply for your note on my talk page: I did not submit word for word, my failed RfA last month. If you check the history of that page, you will find that I have change everything. I simply followed the intruction on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/nominate. I simply type my username in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/ USERNAME. KGV 05:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Phillip mccaffertyI have removed the db bio tag due to one clause in the reason, that I may remove it with intent to fix the article. I believe it is a reasonably important figure, especially with some of the credits, and the main reason for removal is due to badly written article etc. I am wikifying the article etc, if you feel that even rewritten and wikified this would qualify, then leave message on my talk page. Thanks, TheFearow 22:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
No, me either. It was my misunderstanding, and ill revert back to the DB-BIO tag if you haven't already. I misread part of the policy. Sorry! TheFearow 22:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC) I'd rather it just went to DB, as I also misread the name. I know of a famous skateboarder called Philip, so as well as mixing up policy I mixed up names. Thats why I thought it was notable :p. I don't know enough about skateboarding, so I guess I should stick to m area of expertise. After rereading, it does seem like a unneeded article. TheFearow 22:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Thats fine, as I said above i had a big misunderstanding, i've had a bad day. Im going to stop editing (for today), ive had this and I got in trouble earlier for a misplaced DB tag. Sorry for the waste of time! TheFearow 22:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Image experienceAnthony, my general thought is that a lack of experience with images isn't a big problem. Not every admin knows every part of Wikipedia. I'd advise you to put a short note about this into your optional statement: just straightforwardly say this isn't an area you have experience in and you won't use admin tools to work on image-related issues until you learn more. Best, Gwernol 11:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletingYeah, I know that "invention of the mind" isn't a real reason, but I couldn't think of a better one. It wasn't really db-context as there was context and it wasn't db-nonsense as it was coherent... so I couldn't think of anything better to write! What would you suggest? --Samtheboy (t/c) 23:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Mohammad Badshah Qadri-ul-Chishti Yamani RaichuriPlease read my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohammad Badshah Qadri-ul-Chishti Yamani Raichuri and see if you still believe that this article needs to be deleted. I whole-heartedly agree that it needs rewriting. For the interim, I have added the three electronic references to the article, although the last one is not very reliable. --Bejnar 04:43, 17 March 2007 (UTC) Name of the Prophet
Hi, just to butt in, it is customary for Muslims to write "Muhammad SAW", with the SAW standing for "Shallallahu `alaihi Wa Sallam", Arabic for "peace be upon Him". Some English language Muslim sites use PBUH as the abbreviation. When referring to the role, it is conventional to capitalise the word "Prophet".

Good luck on being an administrator, Dr. Bradbury! I have supported your candidacy even though I do not know you personally.HumanThing 02:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC) Your RfAI have to say that ever since my own RfA, I've made it a point to call out ludicrous opposition on RfA. Despite bureaucrat's best intentions, RfA is still in essence a vote and I believe that unless people make a stand against trivial opposition in RfA, we will continue to have distortions in the process. Of course in your case, it's not like that one oppose will make any sort of difference given the kind of massive support you're receiving (rightly so) but as a matter of principle...

Apon seeing this, i deleted said comment, seeing it as unfactual, and likely vandalism in itself due to the context, layout and grammar employed. I do not wish to say that you are not doing a good job, rather the contrary, i congratulate you on your contributions to the wiki, but i wish i would not be accused of vandalism when all i was attempting to do was remove it myself. i hope i will soon recieve a reply from you.

on the adoption processHi Anthony. I've been pruning Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user and I'd like to pass along this request. Unless you have a particular reason for not doing so, please try to remember to change the user's {{adoptme}} tag to {{adoptoffer}} when you offer adoption, as this makes it easier for others to find users who have not yet been offered adoption.

I don't know if the 6 month block will affect anyone adversely, but it won't affect the anon either, because he just keeps on coming back. Anyway, just a heads up.

The problem with School, college and university IPs is that they are open to large numbers of users. Just because a particular batch of students are vandalizing using that IP doesn't mean the next year or even class won't contain some great contributors. This is why we tend not to give long blocks to them. That said, so are indeed given long blocks, particularly after they have been tagged as {{repeatvandal}}. If you do put a long term (>1 day) block on a shared IP the general rule is to make it a soft block: make sure the "Prevent account creation" checkbox is unchecked. This way legitimate users of that IP can create an account and edit away even during thew block period. Gwernol 13:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC) That is what I have been doing. But my point remains: I just do not see any sensible edits coming from these sites. I normally insert a {{schoolblock}} template anyway.--Anthony.bradbury 13:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Vendettavixen 02:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC) Academic title in Joseph Goebbels article ("Dr. Joseph Goebbels")I am not clear about the logic behind the reversion to "Dr. Joseph Goebbels", with the comment " The honorific is correct for the era and location". The honorific was added , without any explanatory comment, by an anonymous user who also added similar honorifics to articles on a number of post-war German politcicians. This suggests some sort of pattern but I don't recall any discussion at WT:GER or WT:WPBIO. The present language in Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) seems quite explicit on this point. Since the purpose of the Manual of Style is to ensure consistency, it doesn't seem like a good idea to deviate from it for individual articles, unless there is a good reason that can be formulated as a rule and included in the Manual of Style. Since this is a matter of consistency, the appropriate place to discuss this would probably be Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies), rather than Talk:Joseph Goebbels but I first wanted to ask you if I have missed something. I know, of course, that Germans can be more insistent on the use of the honorific in a social setting ("Soviel Zeit muss sein!") but I note that the German Wikipedia article does not use the honorific (except in quotations and when pointing out that Goebbels liked to be addressed as "Dr. Goebbels"); nor do a couple of other encyclopaedias that I happened to have to hand. The text of the relevant section in Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) is as follows: --Boson 23:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

NERDGASM is a real wordJust so you know, i tried to add "nerdgasm" to your site as it is indeed a term used in the comics industry and I believe you too hastily removed it as nonsensical. Winhunter followed up by blocking it from ever becoming a page. I don't know how you can come to that conclusion when industry professionals back up my claim. Was in the process of writing material, which is now lost. Will write material in word, else hang on templates be ignored.

I believe it was a little hasty, however in future I will have to look after any work, prior to it being fully catergorised and sourced.

An article about a non-notable person or a non-notable band , for instance, mnay well be suitable for speedy deletion but not under that lable. Would you care to look at WP:CSD to see that the acceptable {{speedy}} labels are?--Anthony.bradbury 19:23, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
CollaborationistsNPOV and other policies nowhere preclude the acknowledgement of certain activities with this word; namely, loyally serving occupation governments and militaries. There are well-populated and well-established collaborationist categories on the wiki eg. Category:French collaborationist. See Petain and others. It would only breach NPOV to pass personal opinions about whether collaboration is commendable or others.Proudlyhumble07 00:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC) |
