G'day

How did you create the Osmanlı page? It appears to be a subset of the existing Osmanli page. Any reason for the spelling that you know of? I wondered whether the last vowel might be a 'barred i' in Turkish, for example. Andrewa 03:07, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Your edit to Baruch Goldstein was blatant vandalism. Please do not repeat it. →Raul654 04:12, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)

  • I apologize for my earlier tone. Dori (below) is correct - please read about our policy of neutral point of view. →Raul654 04:24, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)

Please check out Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. You can't say "Perisher Blue...is the best" because that's not neutral - someone else may disagree. Thanks Dysprosia 04:18, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Praise

Hiya.. just wanted to drop a note and give you some praise for the whole bunch of new articles you've been creating for various places in New South Wales - good work, keep it up! —Stormie 05:08, Jun 13, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Solar power station in Victoria

Hi and thanks for your question about how the desalination actually occurs. I emailed Solar Systems, and this is what they said:

"Salinity interception schemes in the area pump saline ground water to the surface (reducing the water table) evaporate the water in an old lake or depression. Salt is harvested as a byproduct. Typically these schemes evaporate around 3 gigalitres of saline water per year, and the limiting factor is the evaporation rate.

Our power station will be sited near salt-affected land, and will be integrated with existing/proposed salinity interception schemes. We reject heat into the saline water stream, evaporating around 1 gigalitre of water. The saline stream then goes on to the lake as before, but is "preconcentrated". Thus we add around 25% to the saline interception extraction volume while helping to protect high-value agricultural land."

I will add this info to the article's discussion page. Johnfos 08:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Popular

Hi! Yes, "popular" must be a mistranslation (regarding French presidential election, 2007). It was to mean "working-class" or lower middle classes, against wealthy, posh, middle upper class & upper classes... What term do you propose instead? Someone changed it to "populous", but I reverted him as a "populous neighborhood" seems to mean a neighborhood with a high demographical density. Tazmaniacs 10:31, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Look I don't know. I realised that "populaire" in French is not synonymous with "popular" in English. "The Popular Republic of China" is a frequent nonsense translation from French. "populous" is not right either. I understand the intended meaning now but how to represent it in English is difficult.Eregli bob 12:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citing sources

I have declined to speedily delete Email Limited based on the assertions in the article and on the talk page but I don't really understand why the references are on the talk page rather than where they belong, which is in the article. Please source the article rather than the talk page! You can learn much about the mechanics of sourcing at Wikipedia:Citing sources. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit 12:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to your remarks in Gun Politics in Australia.

Do drop back to Gun Politics in Australia and discuss - I have provided several references supporting the claim you called 'nonsense' that 1920s gun laws were inspired by concern about Communism. If you have other references I will be pleased to read them.
