Hi danski14 why are you SO HUMOURLESS these things WERE SAID. Do your research and you will know. Take mark nicholas for example. Famous quotes litter his page like nothing else. Do tell why you removed everything.

Hi. You tagged the article for notability. However, I created it because it was a red link on list of animals new to science, so why isn't it notable? Thanks. A stroHur  ricane  00  1 (Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 00:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Rowland Heights
You reverted my one-word edit regarding a restaurant in Rowland Heights. I was at that restaurant yesterday (2007-02-17) and it is a Vietnamese restaurant, not Taiwanese.

User:Wyjrnwyjwjsjysjn
I see that you warned this user. Just to let you know that blatant violation of the username policy can be reported to WP:AIV. Just add the description "username vio" or similar. In this case the name is obviously a random collection of letters... WjBscribe 01:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, random leter usernames are just one more thing to look out for! Not that it made much difference in this case but often it can speed up the process. Keep up the good work on the vandal-fighting front. WjBscribe 01:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok thanks man. Damon88

Template:Db-autobio
Copied form the Talk page:

Shouldn't there be a link to WP:AUTOBIO for more information? Just a suggestion, Danski14 03:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Technically no, as autobiography alone is not criteria for speeedy deletion. The criteria this uses is "non-notable biography". But thank you, I will put a link to the appropriate section on the user talk warning. Mr.Z-man  talk ¢ 20:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

UK Antarctic Heritage Trust
Hi Danski14 - I started up the page on the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust and saw the tags that you added. I have since added more sources and a bit about the projects undertaken by the UKAHT. Would you mind taking a look and weighing in on whether you feel the tags can be removed? If not, perhaps you have some further suggestions for content? I have no affiliation to the Trust so I don't want it to sound like an advertisement - I just started with the goals because I thought that was important to explaining what the group is aiming to do. I will keep working on it but would appreciate your feedback on the way that I am headed (I am pretty new to contributing so am learning bit by bit!) Thanks! Merteuil 23:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response and the advice!! Merteuil 00:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Corvette Captain
I am wondering what statements you wish to see citing for on the Corvette Captain page. It is such a brief article. Mesoso 23:19, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Albert Macfalbert
Hello Danski, I am new to Wikipedia and am doing my best to understand the internal workings of the system. You cited the entry Duthain Dealbh earlier this month. I have worked on it some more, Is it better now ? If you want to "Wikifi" it more please do so, or if you have some feed back for me I'll do my best to improve it. Thanks Albert. 14:20, 04 March 2007 (UTC)

Sloppy Revert
Hey there, fellow vandalism fighter. I'm afraid that this recent edit of yours didn't really help things -- it only served to prolong the mess. Btw, you weren't the first -- two previous editors made the same mistake! (and I just left notes for them, too) Anyway, please try to be just a bit more careful, so this sort of thing doesn't happen again in the future. Regards, Cgingold 14:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

IP vandal on Biological Warfare
Oops, I just saw you gave a test4 while I went to WP:AIV... It's been a long time since I went on a vandal crusade, heh, we are supposed to go all the way to test4? I thought it was three-strikes-you're-out, but it's been awhile so I don't remember. Heh, oh well, if I got it wrong, sorry to step on your toes! :) --Jaysweet 19:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Heh, looks like it was a moot point anyway since (s)he's done it two more times since then :D --Jaysweet 19:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply! I like your test1->test3->test4 system, that sounds like about the right level of escalation to me.  Heh, it is difficult for me because I feel Wikipedia should be much tougher and much less friendly to vandals -- so I am torn between my instincts (Ban the fool!) and abiding by official Wikipedia policy (WP:AGF).  Anyway, thanks again!  --Jaysweet 19:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Video on Double-slit experiment
Hey, I was just checking my watchlist and I took a look at the video you removed from Double-slit experiment. While I think it was linked poorly, the video itself seems to be a very cogent illustration of the double-slit experiment for non-physicists, and I was frankly quite surprised at how accurate it seems to be. I'd like to restore it, in the "see also" section, because I think it adds something to the article. What exactly did you mean by "non-scientific"? My feeling is, if we can provide a resource which accurately explains the subject to a layperson, so much the better. The key there is "accurately" -- did you see something wrong with the video that I missed? (I've taken an undergraduate level of quantum physics, which I think is enough for me to judge it...) Thanks, User:Glenn Willen (Talk) 03:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow... I had no idea what the context of that video was. Having read the article on "What the Bleep...", I wonder whether we want WP associated with that. I don't want to link the youtube video if it advertises for the movie, but I don't really want to link the trailer either (which is hosted on whatthebleep.com, which I'd hate to drive traffic to.) So I guess I'll leave it off. Thanks for catching that. :-) User:Glenn Willen (Talk) 13:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Arrested Development Trivia
With all due respect, it's all trivia. And in fact, the amount of detail currently in the summaries is equally arbitrary. Nevertheless, I don't care if my edit stays, but I think my point is that neither more nor less detail really matters when it comes to a recount of a fictional television series, which is in itself a trivial matter.70.239.150.72 21:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. I'm a bit of a newbie here, so I also realize that I'm not completely versed on the conventions of editing. If I'm out of turn I apologize.  Cheers!70.239.150.72 08:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

hi, thanks for the welcome message - someone deleted the site; i'm not sure why. perhaps i'm not the best wikieditor being somehwhat overworked, but it's so disheartening to put a ton of time into something only to find it promptly deleted. any suggestions? Chatnchew 01:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

O'Neil et al
Hey, hoping you can take a look at something?

There's a child actor named Chris O'Neil. He likely has a valid notability to have a biography - he's in "The Last Mimzy" - but his father created articles for himself and Chris's brother. You already noted the dad's page (Perryo) but there's an article under "Tyler O'Neil", the brother, that's a vanity page. How do we start the ball rolling to get rid of those non-notable pages? NickBurns 01:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I wasn't sure what the steps were on that....I'll make a note for the future on NN entries. NickBurns 16:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, another comment, this time on RPI. Are at all involved in the Lighting Research Center? My school recently did a large project on eliminating headlight glare, and I used their research for a good deal of my background material.--Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 04:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia community
Hello, I happened to notice that you removed the stub template on the article, Wikipedia community. I was wondering what you reasoning behind this was, as I see the article as still being a stub. As taken from WP:STUB, "To qualify as a stub it must at least define the meaning of the article's title. Often that means three to ten short sentences...." The article in question has only 6 moderate length sentences, and as it is not a particularly unknown subject, I would consider that a stub. Your thoughts? Oh, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!--Vox Rationis (Talk | contribs) 04:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Danski,

Thanks for patrolling and reverting articles. However, the manifold destiny article has some unfair editing. The "Controversy" section is a list of events and articles that are related to the manifold destiny article. The last edit, J and J, added the paragraph "February 2007" at the end, even though it is repititious and not an important article or event. I believe this was so that the NPR article, and which I added at the end of December (which is for Yau's case) would not be the last paragraph. There is already an entire section devoted to the "erratum". If there are people contributing the article solely biased against yau, I think that is unfair. Please reconsider.

Thanks,

frinklemur

Fair use
Wikipedia's fair use policy says that FU images can only be used in article namespace, i.e. they cannot be used in templates or on user pages. Because there they serve decorative functions and violate WP:FUC. If you know more examples where FU is used in templates, please remove. Renata 11:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Last push for the Biography Assessment Drive
We've done great work so far on the WikiProject Biography Spring 2007 Assessment Drive, reducing the 135,345 backlog by 38,626 to 96,719 as of March 20, 2007. We have only 6,720 more to go to get below 90,000. That would be outstanding and any extra effort that you can offer in these last few days of the drive (which ends March 24, 2007) would be much appreciated. If you haven't already, you may want to load Outriggr's assessment script in your monobook.js. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them on my talk page. -- Jreferee 23:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

RPI?
OMG I'm going there next year perhaps we'll meet up. --Nicholas Weiner 18:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I know they require laptops. Is it also required you purchase their laptop rather than purchase it elsewhere?  Also, how good are the laptops RPI sells?  --Nicholas Weiner 12:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply! Some more questions:

1. If I decide not to purchase an RPI laptop and bring my own, what are the requirements for it? I guess that any laptop you purchase today should be powerful enough to run the software RPI gives you to run.

2. Does RPI's computer repair center only fix the "RPI laptops"?

3. Is Xbox Live available on campus? Can an Xbox 360 connect to a dorm room's ethernet port without trouble?

--Nicholas Weiner 17:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Well thanx a lot for that Xbox Live answer, I am very glad I will be able to play in college given that Halo 3 is gonna come out soon after I get to RPI. --Nicholas Weiner 17:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * So according to the website, the laptops they sell are the IBM Thinkpad 610. What exactly are the specs for it?  And do they sell RAM and video card upgrades on campus?  --Nicholas Weiner 11:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Ronald Collé
I see that you removed the notability tag from the article. Do you have any sources on him? Perhaps a CV online somewhere?

F1 In Schools - References
Nuclear froggy 18:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Hiya, I created an article on F1 In Schools (the competition) and you tagged it around March. I was wondering, can I delete the tag myself now that I have put more external links on the article, or do you have to look at it and decide yourself? Thanks.
