Dear User:Byzerodivide I was wondering if you consider adding your information to the section Ataturk's name. There is a section for this. The WP:LEAD section is best served with most important and characteristic information. best wishes. --Rateslines (talk) 20:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Opposition to the Iraq War
Hi Byzerodivide. I saw you reverted an edit by an anon who'd removed the George Bush quote from this article, saying "clearly this quote is not opposition to the Iraq war". I'd have been inclined to agree with them myself - could you explain why you think the quote belongs in the article? Thanks, Olaf Davis | Talk 20:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again. You replaced 'raw' version of Bush's quote after I changed the wording to follow the text given in the source. I feel that if we do have the quote it should be in a version closer to what I changed it to, for (at least) two reasons. The first is consistency: people make that sort of slip all the time, but Wikipedia articles don't usually include all the "um"s and so on. The second reason is to follow the sources: if a majority of reliable sources report the 'cleaned' version (as I believe they do - see for example, and  as well as the source  used in the article) then it seems to me that's what Wikipedia should report too. Do you disagree? I'd also be interested to hear your thoughts on my comment above; I still think the quote doesn't really belong in the article at all, in whatever form.

List of World War II vessel types of the United States
Your last edit removed a bunch of stuff from that article (your previous one months ago did too). That's probably fine since much of that list is poorly organized anyway, but were you planning on reinserting that stuff, or is there something I'm missing here?

 * Improved factual accuracy by removing non WWII Navy items, this is permanent Byzerodivide (talk) 04:39, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's fine, but were all of those you removed non WW2 era? Because they were all contiguous, which seems a little coincidental. Shadowjams (talk) 05:40, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Most of the Navy list section was removed and replaced with a smaller subset list of WWII items. Byzerodivide (talk) 05:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
