DYK
In the beginning, there was a rule that dispute may be resolved after the 5 day deadline. The reason for this was partly that extremely well written Polish and Russian articles - as a rule - were subject of various disputes and quarrel. Right now, though, due to the substantial backlog of articles, I think we should apply this rule with some causion, and I'm not so sure that the expired articles such as Carla Thorneycroft, Baroness Thorneycroft's obituary (was it ever disputed?) may qualify.

THanks but what about Torrent (1926 film) for a dyk? Torrent was Greta Garbo's first American film with MGM studios ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 20:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The film is highly signficant as it Greata Garbo first ever American film and first ever with MGM studios. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 20:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Reminder of WP:CIV
(You wrote)

Hi Poeticbent,

I respect a lot of the work you've done on Wikipedia, especially since I've dealt with some of the article you wrote on DYK. At the same time I'm appalled by your bickering in the discussion about the Battle of Wilno/Vilnius. You have grossly violated WP:CIV. One example of this: Irpen wrote: "My title is descriptive and neutral which is the option for the event for which no well-established English name exists" and you answered "You are being irrational. It does not matter how much you believe in whatever monstrosity you might have concocted. What matters is that nobody wants it" instead of giving a counter-argument to what he/she said.

As an innocent bystander, who just read the discussion by chance, I just wanted to make you aware of this in case you haven't noticed yourself and hope you can get your act together and contribute to a sensible discussion.

Cheers and happy editing,

-- Carabinieri 21:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reminder. For your information I subscribe to 1RR policy (meaning, I do not engage in revert wars with editors who revert my good faith edits), however I do get upset when it happens – like everybody else I suppose – and occasionally vent my frustration on Talk pages. Usually though, I stay away from flash points for that exact reason.


 * All best,

 * Yeah everyone loses their cool once in a while, I'm glad you're able to admit your errors like that.-- Carabinieri 00:03, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the understanding. --Poeticbent  talk  01:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S.: You might be interested in seeing how my character was assassinated in the following edits as the result of my contributions to Talk:Battle of Wilno (1939), including the personal statement of one editor rephrased by another editor and than moved around to prove his point. This is the first time I have actually seen this kind of shocking infringement on Talk. Interesting! --Poeticbent   talk  17:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for Featuring
Thanks for featuring The Kinship of the Three on the "Did you know" frontpage section. Benjwong 14:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * You're welcome.--Carabinieri 15:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

An apology
A belated sorry for this - I was involuntarily disruptive: I had not read the entire portion of text, and it seemed to me like the authors were themselves contending that Ireland was an exporter (I actually never knew that people commonly believe that it was...). I actually visited for the "China" issue, because it was still leading to disambig, and "overstayed my welcome". I'll be more careful in the future, Dahn 18:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


 * That's no problem. Thanks for helping anyways.--Carabinieri 18:26, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Cool but note it is just called Torrent not The Torrent!!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help, I've fixed it.--Carabinieri 12:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Front page
Very kind of you to point out the mention of the Olympic Theatre piece. Thank you so much. Tim riley 13:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Wapiennik
Could you please tell me why you deleted the entry "Wapiennik"? It was a surname entry, and also a word in Polish. I thought surname stubs are allowable. I saw others with far less information on them.


 * Sorry about this. Another user didn't think the topic of the article was notable, so he made a disambiguation page out of it. It did not, however, link to at least two articles, which such a page has to, so it was deleted. I've now restored it the way you wrote it.--Carabinieri 17:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! Please let me know if there is more I can do to ensure compliance at least with the surname entries. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 152.160.56.93 (talk) 14:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

DYK FILM
My latest film isUttara (film). DO you rhink if it is referenced it is good enough? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 19:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks alright to me, assuming those references in the footnotes apply to the sections preceding them. You should proposed it at T:TDYK, I especially like the fact about the strategy of shooting at dawn and dusk.--Carabinieri 18:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Roman Catholicism in Albania
Hello Carabinieri. I see that, after you user name, you speak German ;) Anyway, I just hit you by chance and I was reminded of the above mentioned article, which is a translation of 1911 (yes, that's not a typo, 1911) Encyclopaedia Britannica and, thus, is of little use since it regards Albania as a Turk possession and communism hasn't even arrived there, let alone vanished.

Still, there is a German article with updated info in this topic. I would only like to know whether you have the time, the energies or, simply, know someone that might, to do this translation: it is not a long article by all means.

If all you can do is add some template asking for translation (I have seen some of those around, but I can't remember when or where) then, please do.

Anyway: thank you very much and sorry if I disrupted a bit. Mountolive | Talk 05:52, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I would be happy to translate the article. The only problem is I'll be pretty busy the rest of this week and then I'll be on vacation for two weeks. So I might take about a month to get it done. If you don't want to wait this long I'd recommend you'd list the article on the appropriate page of Translation. Happy editing, --Carabinieri 17:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your feedback. I have already used the page you showed me (I didn't know it, it is very interesting, btw). If it hasn't been translated in a few weeks, I may come back to you and see if you can do something: I am not in any kind of hurry. Thanks again! Mountolive | Talk 17:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Carabinieri. I don't find the whole Translation page as intuitive as the dummy I am needs but it is my understanding that no one started the translation for this article. If you find some spare time and would like to bother, I would really appreciate if you could work on that yourself...it is not long, BTW ;)
 * Thanks anyway. Mountolive.


 * Hi Mountolive. I think it would be best to re-write the article completely. I also think it would be better to mostly work with several English-language sources I've found and only add information from the German Wikipedia when that's necessary, because that information is generally not (well-)referenced. So I've started a re-write of the article: here. I think the following sources would be pretty useful in writing this article:, , and . Maybe you could help me write it and then we'll move it into article namespace.--Carabinieri 14:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Update DYK
I know I cried wolf last time (unintentionally), but I think this time it really does need to be updated. Rigadoun (talk) 15:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Featured union
Hi Carabinieri, I was just trying to be humorous with my Another problem?!! jab. Hope I didn't offend you. I'm not jumping up and down about this idea either, but I do think we're within the spirit of things. I'll poke around a little more to see if there's been more discussion about it somewhere. Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 21:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh no, I wasn't offended at all. I just misunderstood you. I thought you were wondering what I meant with this.--Carabinieri 22:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

DYK querry
Thank you for chosing my article. Could you look at my expired nom here and offer a second opinion? I think there is no valid argument against nominating that article, which I think is both full of new facts and much higher quality than an average DYK... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

About DYK
Here you added a tag which says this user created or substantially expanded the article Javad Malik-Yeganov. I find it unfair since I am in fact the creator and the only contributor to that article. I hope this little misunderstanding can be solved. Parishan 20:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In connection to this comment, I am responding here because the thread was removed from the page. I disagree with your characterization that while "legitimate, Soviet presence was the not legal in a formal sense". Legality issue here is very confusing. There is a whole mix of the international law, national laws and the laws of warfare. Advancing through a territory, occupied by the enemy in order to defeat the country that invaded you in the first place is an entirely legitimate action by the code of warfare. The agreement of the allies had the provisions of the military presence of their armies throughout Europe, as far as the international law is concerned. The issue at hand, is that the treaty that signed in 1956 was regulating further Soviet military presence. It being not formally regulated does not make it "not legal in a formal sense". I ammended the hook so that it sticks to fact and leaves the issue of "legal/not legal" out of this. --Irpen 21:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I guess the way you phrased it, the entry is probably the least controversial. But I don't think that anyone will disagree that according to Polish law having foreign guys with weapons in the country was illegal until they were formally granted the right to in 1956. Happy editing, --Carabinieri 08:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I worked painstakingly to make sure that the all of the facts and material within the article Mind Dynamics was meticulously backed up by (33) citations. Please take a look, and let me know.

Help
Can you fix my talk page? I was trying to make a talk archive page because it was getting to long. Well I have now made a double redirect page, to the same page (I think), any way I am hoping you have some tools or knowledge that can fix my messed up talk page, and if you do not know how to fix it maybe you know someone that can. I feel so mad at my self for messing this simple job up. Max ╦╩ 20:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The archive somehow ended up at User talk:Grosscha/. You must've accidently moved it there after moving it to User talk:Grosscha/Archive 1. I've now moved it back to archive 1 and both User talk:Grosscha/ and User talk:Grosscha redirect there. I'd recommend you re-start your talk page at the appropriate place, otherwise people will start leaving messages in the archive.--Carabinieri 20:49, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the DYK on the John Bower article. I really appreciated it. Chris 22:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Template:Did you know/Next update
Hi - if you have time, would you mind looking at the two articles that I added to the Suggestions page for 25 April and see if you can swap out on of the entries from 26 April (I would do it myself, but I don't want to promote my own nomination). Both are cricketer biographies, so I doubt they will both get selected for the update after next, and they could well be too old by the time of the update after that. Thanks. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd love to use them, but they don't meet the "fivefold expansion" criterium. I personally think that criterium is really exaggerated, but I can't move the entries to next update knowing they fail that policy. Sorry, --Carabinieri 18:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Never mind - I understand (by my reckoning, Arthur Milton went from about 1,300 to about 4,700 and Les Jackson from about 1,100 to about 3,900 - about 3.5 each time). -- ALoan (Talk) 18:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Your comments on the BackupHDDVD FA nomination
Hi, impressive critical comments. Hope you're staying around for more! Tony 03:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Trade unions in Germany
Hey, thanks for cleaning up my forgotten {{User:Bookandcoffee/Sandbox3 mess. Did you think that the infobox idea itself was an OK idea? (I put it back up at User:Bookandcoffee/Sandbox3) If you did I'd work on it a little more (without re-venturing into the article space) and then look for input at the project page. Chris--Bookandcoffee 19:04, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I do think a "Trade unions in COUNTRY" infobox was a good idea and would encourage you to do so.--Carabinieri 21:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

DYK Adrian S.Fisher
This was my first work on Wikipedia, and wanted to thank you for your support. Now I need someone to let me know ways to upgrade the article even further...an editor's eye, so to speak. Sclarkson(Talk) 15:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Here are some problems I had with the aritcle:
 * The structure of the lead seems a bit odd to me. It makes it seem like his positing as clerk of those two judges is the most notable part of his career. I'd suggest the first sentence end with "servant" and the two first paragraphs be merged. The lead could also be just a bit more extensive.


 * "(Notwithstanding a common misconception, Frankfurter was not appointed to replace Brandeis. Frankfurter was the replacement for Benjamin N. Cardozo; William O. Douglas replaced Brandeis.)" I don't think that parenthesis really improves the article, because the information belongs in the articles about those judges.


 * I think the article drifts off from the topic. Take the "Japanese-American internment and the Korematsu brief footnote" section for example: only the the first paragraph seems to cover Fisher's role, while the rest discusses the even in general. The same is true of the first two paragraphs as well as the last in the "The firing of General Douglas MacArthur" section.--Carabinieri 14:36, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

All good points, and it opens up the very important question of how much context in encyclopedia biography is required. Reflection and reorganization will solve this. Thanks! Sclarkson15:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. I agree with you on that, but believe there is just too much context in this case.--Carabinieri 14:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
