Gustave Moynier (again)

Just as a side note, the German article about Moynier has reached FA status, so its English counterpart could benefit from a revamping :o). The German article is more than double in length and number of references by now, and it mentions some aspects of his life which are currently not to be found in the English version. Even if you don't have the time and energy for a translation, the extensions might be interesting for you to read. Best Regards, --Uwe 08:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

June Meetup in New York

Hi, I noticed you on a list of New Yorkers. If you are interested in around we are having a meetup Wikipedians in June. Take a peek at this and please tell any other Wikipedians that you think might be interested in participating about this event. Thanks. Alex756 02:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Honorary Citizens of Vienna

The List of Honorary Citizens of Vienna (that I believe you created?) starts off with a 'Francis Rawdon' in 1797. I expect that the correct article for this person to link to should probably be Francis Rawdon-Hastings, 1st Marquess of Hastings, rather than the current link, which has become redundant. As you will see from the article, this Francis Rawdon held a number of titles including Lord Rawdon, Earl Moira, and latterly 1st Marquess of Hastings!

Do you have access to a source that will enable you to confirm the correct identity of this person? Thank you. Downhamhill 13:06, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I just made it into a redirect. The German Wikipedia, from where I translated the article, has it link to Rawdon-Hastings. Of course, there is a possibility that could be incorrect. Tfine80 13:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Self Harm page

Hi there, I'm getting in touch as you've done some recent work on the self-harm article. I've done a fair bit of study on this subject recently, so reckon I'm in a position to go through and get a good load of citations in there. What I propose, is moving to using the tag to make this easier, and then I'll go through and get citations in, and replace some of the "some people" type areas with referenced viewpoints, trying to get multiple view is where there are opposing views. Obviously this'll involve a bit of rewriting and adding so I wondered if you have any feedback on this before I start. Acidsaturation 07:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks ...

... and I'd be happy to meet you in Vienna. Unfortunately, I won't be here July 1 to July 8. Hope we can meet afterwards! All the best, <KF> 22:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Great. Contact me via (kurt.forstner AT chello.at) or, if you prefer giving me a call, 069919209003. See you then! <KF> 23:17, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Dershowitz and Simpson

According to the O. J. Simpson murder case article, Alan Dershowitz was one of Simpson's lawyers. In that case, shouldn't Dershowitz also appear on Template:Simpson Trial? —Lowellian (reply) 02:38, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

The template looks fine. Good job! —Lowellian (reply) 19:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

New translation

Hi there, it would be nice if you could spend some minutes to proofread my newest translation Slavutych. Thanks in advance, --Uwe 19:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Alpha Phi Alpha

thanks for your contributions and watching this page from being vandalized by "you know who". A lot of work has been done to the article because I'm trying to get it to Featured Article status, which mean it can appear on the main page of wikipedia. User:Jtmichcock, a non alpha has provided great copyedit to take it to the next level. Please send Jtmichcock a barnstar on his user page if you don't mind. 15:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Alpha Phi Alha is now a Featured Article in wikipedia. Ccson 15:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

removal of information

Hello! The Cuba article is very hot at the moment. It would be best if you would first discuss any major edits on the talk page. Thanks, Myciconia 02:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

This was a minor, non-controversial edit. It is completely ridiculous to say that Cuba has done more than the rest of the world in helping Chernobyl victims. With no citation and a triumphal tone. I'm not surprised the article is controversial and receiving media attention. Huge sections are a joke. Tfine80 03:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Help wanted

Do you still watch Anti-Americanism? Do you still care about the pernicious things that get said about America?

I want to remove it from my watchlist because of the headache but I'm dead-set to not remove because it will be hijacked immediately by editors who pop-up everyday and want to rant about GWB. I'm not asking for a look at every detail on the Talk, but a check-up when you're on this Wiki, maybe?... I don't mind disagreeing with you because it's fruitful; I'm just getting tired of disagreeing with people who seem to edit idiotically. Sorry to bother (again), Marskell 22:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I hang about here too much and I know other people have limited time. I'm really glad you still have an interest in the article. It's "top-google", it's an obvious search topic, and it should be good. Marskell 23:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh and: User:Marskell/AA. Potential new intro. I know basically every word is cited, but that's what you need to do when you wind up in edit wars with newbies... Marskell 23:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I have endorsed and will make a fuller comment there (perhaps I'll wait and see if she reverts me again). It may be too soon for an RfC, but this editor is a clear POV-pusher. I believe she's in violation of 3RR (it's like five in 28 hours, plus one extra revert to your removing points on the list). I would suggest not adding the dispute tag. In an odd way this endorses her version as the one being argued over--it's the long standing version that belongs. Thus, if she reverts, revert her. I know reverts aren't an entitlement but I don't want to let her awful intro a foot in the door.

And do you like my new longer intro BTW? Marskell 10:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Mediation request

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to Example. As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. The process of mediation is voluntary and focuses exclusively on the content issues over which there is disagreement. Please review the request page and the guide to formal mediation, and then indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you, [signature]

.

The request will be posted shortly. Note you just have to go there and agree to the mediation. Talk is getting us nowhere. Marskell 17:22, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
