Oh thank you for the cookies! I'm sorry, but there's a convienience store in my home town of Albany called the Lee Academy and it really was a communist center back in the 50s and 60s. Please revert back to the original. Also, please check your sources before you ignorantly go off and be a "hero" in your own way.

Adoption2nd Preference

Hey Getting Adopted is a Good Idea But I think its Better to Make it Yourself,I did that and I just Joined on Nov 19 2006 and i didnt want to Get Adopted.Its better to do a couple of Work yourself and some Major edits BE BOLD and if you still feel its not working out then I think it would be ok 2 be Adopted..Bye...ø~Cometstyles~ø ^(talk)

Ok

Thanks for telling me about the sandbox!

Zeus

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to the Zeus article. But their was pre-existing in the version that you reverted to. E.G. the name "Paul Eggleston" randomly inserted into the article in various places.

On the Midget page

I guess I went a little too far, I will stop doing such actions. Sorry

Regarding 'unwanted' changes to Premium_station

Dear Umalee, thankyou for your suggestions. What kind of reference are you looking for to prove station toilets are seldom open? This is hardly something to be documented by Connex, or the media unless it is a very, VERY slow news day. Perhaps you want a photograph of a closed toilet in a premium station with a clock in clear display. I appreciate your efforts to maintain a clean-looking page. But none of the information on this page has been referenced so I hardly see how my additions require one.

I have also made some suggestions in the talk section of Premium station

Furthermore i would direct you to the comments made by Kyelewis in the talk section.

Thanks

Nick

Thanks for the chat, everything now resolved :)

Non surgical rhinoplasty

== [Rhinoplasty]

Hi sorry about the tests, i didnt want to change it just test some stuff out, but in the article id like to have it mentioned the Doctor who came up with the term in the non surgical rhinoplasty part. Heres also the source for that trademark (Tm-Source:Serial Number 77/097,402) just in case if you needed the citation. Thanks Signed Happyfeetprod —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happyfeetprod (talk • contribs) 20:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Tm Word Non surgical rhinoplasty

Hi kannie

Got your messege, and will use the sandbox from now on. however, could i make a reference to the original doctor who came up with with the fraze in the first place? I just think its a bit unfair if a person came up with a term/procedure/invention but not be given credit for it.

"Idiotic"

On Wikipedia honesty should not be taken into consideration, but rather the factual relevance. I will apologize for using the word idiotic, however, people should not call a person born in 1991 a general in the military, when he was born in 1981 and is an English cricketer. I am indeed sorry for the use of such a word and also sorry to waste your precious time.  Xeysz  ☼  21:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Elective

I'm fine with your idea. It would make sense for the article to be merged into wiktionary. --G2ace (talk) 01:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Nope. I have no idea what you are talking about. But I can look into it. (G2ace (talk) 01:55, 20 December 2007 (UTC))

I asked a question on Yahoo! Answers. Now I just have to wait for the answers. It might take a while. --G2ace (talk) 02:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

You can ask. But I already got one answer. I'm not sure if they are right but at least I have something. "There's no obvious "merge" feature, however, since both sites are open for anyone to edit, you could simply copy and paste from one to the other." --G2ace (talk) 02:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Elective is on wiktionary already. Here is the link. [1] So maybe we should just add the information on wikipedia to there. (G2ace (talk) 02:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC))

Can we just delete the article on wikipedia since it's more of a dictionary definition? --G2ace (talk) 02:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I love it when there is an agreement. Thanks for "chatting" with me. I feel like a "real" contributor to wikipedia. --G2ace (talk) 02:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I hope we do run into each other since the first encounter was successful. --G2ace (talk) 02:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Notability and H.J.Gauntlett

Excuse me, but I fail to see how H.J. Gauntlett is notable. There is no references whatsoever and it reads like an ad. I highly suspect, though I may wrong, that the author is H.J.Gauntlett. May I ask, in good faith, where do you see the notability?--Kannie | talk 02:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello. It was a mere assumption that I made after doing a google search, and tagged it, since no matter if it is notable or not, the article is in a state in which it would need to be wikified and expanded. You can, obviously, still propose deletion or request speedy deletion if seen fit. ~ | twsx | ^talk_cont | 07:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Could you maybe help 'clean up' the article a little bit by adding a few trustworthy sites to the stub? I'll be glad to do it myself if you wish, but since you think he's notable, I just thought I'd ask. --Kannie | talk 19:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so (i'm too lazy, at least right now). The article still does not make a real assertion for notability, so i'd say it is still eligible for speedy deletion under criteria A7. Nominate it if you want (which, to have mentioned it, i have not discouraged at any time).

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll nominate it for speedy deletion now. Kannie | talk 20:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Charles Boartz

You nominated my article for "speedy deletion" with the claim that the man in question's name was no where mentioned in my references. However, you failed to review the lawsuit, which was referenced several times in my article, in which Charles Boartz had been named a defendant in the matter. This is apparent in the very top of the document and requires no significant reading.

Welcoming committee

I'm not sure that adding a welcoming message to every IP user who edits Wikipedia is the best thing to do - if it was it could be done by a robot. I'm sure your efforts are well intentioned, but I really think there are more important things that they could be focused on. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 22:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

You do have a point. I haven't really had an anonmous user contact me until now, unless it "contacting" me to vandalize my talk page! It's just that this template encourages people to register an account, and links to my talk page, which encourages at least encourages non-anon peopple to ask for help. That's was why I 'welcome' everyone to wikipedia. Out of curiosity, why don't you think it's a good idea? Kannie | talk 22:14, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I do recommend being welcoming, but there are over a million people who edit Wikipedia, and most only do one edit and never come back. When you click "edit this page" you get a boilerplate of what Wikipedia thinks is important for everyone to see, old and new alike. I have heard estimates that there are less than 500 active Wikipedians (I'm not one of them). It often takes me an hour to make one edit (researching, looking up references), I see some people making over 500 edits in one day. Many of the robot tasks on Wikipedia are literally done by robots, like Sinebot if you forget to sign a talk page, and Cluebot if someone vandalizes a page in an obvious manner. It's really hard to tell if an IP user is a one time editor or has come back. I look at their contribs and see if they have edited multiple times before throwing them a welcome. You will find that there are some habitual IP users like myself who just don't want to be bothered with registering, while most will welcome the advice. There really is a welcoming committee, and if you aren't a member you should be. Also since you are relatively new you can ask for a mentor. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 22:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I was actually registered under a different name at one point, but yeah, at one point I had a mentor. I think my problem is that I'm being a little bold, ya know? But thanks for the reminder, and thanks for telling me about the welcoming commitee--I have heard and forgot about it. Kannie | talk 22:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Well bold is good. Have fun. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 23:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the chuckle. Yeah, I know I'm not bold, but this is bold for me, actually. Pretty subjective concept. Kannie | talk 23:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I shouldn't be guessing how bold you may be. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 23:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Collard

Hi, I don't know if you're familiar with WP:USER or WP:TALK, but it's generally considered good etiquette to mind your own business when it comes to Wikipedians' user or talk pages. Dropping a warning template on Collard's talk page is extremely poor etiquette per WP:TEMPLAR. Collard has done fantastic work in resizing and/or converting non-free images that he did not originally upload. The favor he gets in return is constant harassment about non-free images. Please do, at least, some cursory investigation before butting in on his user page. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 23:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah - being bold I see. Good for you, Kannie. But they are right. If you have read all the templates a hundred times it is pointless for someone to drop one of them on your talk page, and better to customize your notice to them. Now, what was I working on when you distracted me? Oh yes, finding a category for an article. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 00:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

...Anyway, Kannie. I get a trillion messages a second from bots warning me about the many (possibly hundreds of) unused/disputed/etc fair-use images I re-uploaded in reduced resolution. Since I don't care about fair use images (other than I don't want the Wikimedia foundation to get sued over them) I delete these warnings from my talk page and this is what made you think that I was blanking needlessly. Please don't do that again, k? :) And if you're using some custom script or other, please tweak it so that people blanking their own user/talk pages doesn't trigger it, to save them some annoyance.

Also, hi again Tim. :) Lewis Collard! (it's cold out there, but i'm telling you, i'm lonely) 02:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Badminton biostub speedily deleted

Hi, I have seen that you have tagged an article requesting that it should be speedily deleted. This articles is Karen Chapman, but she was medalist at the World Badminton Championships. Isn't it notable enough? Walint (talk) 15:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Of course it is. You can check it at the article of this World Championship. For Masao Tsuchida, as the articles says, it was at the 1980 IBF World Championships, and there are 3 external links. For Karen Chapman it was at the 1983 IBF World Championships and there are also 3 external links. Walint (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I haven't remove anything, you can check it at the history page. The intralink is 1983 IBF World Championships, but these article has 3 EXTERNAL LINKS where you can check the medalists. Walint (talk) 16:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

CIA Human Rights

I was a little surprised to find a deletion template on a new article, seemingly only a minute or two after it had been created. There has been significant discussion on the general CIA article talk page that there is too much material for a single article, and this article was one of a group of sub-articles into which content would be distributed.

While I'm happy to discuss the reasons this is being done, it seemed a bit premature to flag deletion with no discussion. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I had not seen your name in the CIA article discussions, and it seemed unusual for someone who has not been involved to contest the creation of a sub-article.

An intelligence task force is also being created in the Military History project. Howard C. Berkowitz (talk) 16:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Re:Epicenter Collection

Sorry about the Epicenter Collection article. See, the references are actual references that just happen to be hosted at the same website. So shall I draw it back into "working status"? I do really want to keep it... TheListUpdater (talk) 17:44, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Quick-draw hair trigger

I don't think it's particularly productive to pull the speedy-delete trigger on an article one minute after the first edit on it. - JasonAQuest (talk) 20:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm following procedure, but I'm a little perplexed by your hair-trigger approach to implementing it... hence the note here. Is it really recommended to shoot first on speedy-deletes and ask questions later? Just a couple minutes looking at the article and the pre-existing links to it would have established it has a high likelihood of being notable, and it's mathematically clear that you didn't spend that. - JasonAQuest (talk) 20:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to make sure you knew that your actions were hostile to Wikipedia's productive editing environment, and pointing it out on a Talk page I had no reason to believe you would bother to read wouldn't accomplish that. If you don't want to be bothered by criticism like this, try acting with a little circumspection. In the five years I've been on WP, I've found that thinking before you edit helps a lot. -JasonAQuest (talk) 20:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Speedying

Hi! I noticed your great work speedying new pages, and wanted to encourage you to keep up the good work. I also wanted to blatantly pitch Twinkle to you; basically, it is an automated system that lets you speedy pages, put them up for any other deletion process, and even lets you revert vandalism more easily. Quite handy, and speeds up everything quite a bit. You don't have to use it of course, I'm just recommending it. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 20:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd be delighted to help!

1. First, open up your your monobook page.
2. Edit it, and add this in;

   importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js');

3. Save the page, and hard-refresh it; this is usually done by holding the Ctrl key and pressing F5 at the same time.

Hope that helps! You should notice new tabs popping up at the top of any new pages you visit. Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... you wouldn't happen to be using Internet Explorer, would you? Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Try clearing your cache (tools -> clear private data). If that doesn't work, I'll check your monobook and see what could be up. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:14, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Wait, so we're on the same page... you're sure you bypassed your cache while still in your monobook? If not, go there and do the Ctrl F5 thing; if yes, then I'm not sure what's wrong, as the code is correct. I guess checking Wikipedia:Bypass your cache wouldn't hurt... Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Darn, so you can't see any additional tabs? You know, where the 'edit this page' tab is? That sucks. You could try contacting User:Voice of All or User:AzaToth, as I have no idea what it could be. Sorry. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, not too concerning, but I'm not too good with code. Sadly. Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 21:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Rangárþing ytra

The page, Rangárþing ytra, should not be deleted. I was planning to add more information to it later. Also, Rangárþing ytra is quite a notable municipality in Iceland. It's the eleventh largest in area in the whole country, and one of those communities that have been merged together lately. Isn't that notable enough?

Hi. I removed the db tag from the Jammulapalem because all villages in the world are considered notable by default. I did add an unsourced tag, though.  :) Corvus cornix_talk 22:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Suggesting Haslach (Freiburg) for deletion

It is okay to be a deletionist, but as far as I know all villages in the world are notable. As most parts of Freiburg, the city, are also villages, surely this must be notable. Also, it would be ashame not to translate the long articles available on the German wikipedia and lose the history of these places. Poeloq (talk) 22:34, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Please read up on guidelines a little bit more, for example Wikipedia:OUTCOMES#Geography. This would save many editors time, because instead of creating/editing the next article, I have had to write this. Still, thanks for your work and a merry Christmas :) Poeloq (talk) 22:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Sant singh sekhon

Hey, again. Don't think I'm singling you out, we just seem to be hitting the same articles. I've removed the speedy deletion tag from Sant singh sekhon because the first deletion was due to a copyright violation, so this isn't really a repost, and it doesn't qualify for a speedy deletion because there is a claim of notability - winning a President's prize. I have no idea if the prize is notable or not, but if you still think it should be deleted after my removal of the speedy tag, go ahead and list it at AfD. Corvus cornix_talk 23:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

How is Two Tribes B.V. a speedy deletion? They've developed a number of notable games. JACOPLANE • 2007-12-25 00:55

In fact, looking over your contributions, I feel that you're perhaps being a little too vigilant in tagging articles from good-faith users as speedy deletions. Please be a little more restrained when users are adding articles that might not be appropriate, and explain WP:NOT to them on their talk page. I'm worried that your approach might lead to good potential contributors being totally frustrated and abandoning Wikipedia altogether. Cheers, JACOPLANE • 2007-12-25 01:01

Mixx (website)

Wow. Just seconds after I submit, you request speedy deletion. You don't even give me a chance to build on the article, and obviously didn't bother finding out what Mixx is.
