Manzetti
Deke, I'm troubled that the manzetti page is utterly invariant with huge chunks of http://www.esanet.it/chez_basilio/manzetti.htm and is thus a copyvio problem.

 * Ooops. I forgot about that.  I was unable to locate anything in print in English, so I intended to ask my sister to do a library search for me (She works in one...), then I got into a squit with some guy who deleted some other subject before I'd finished it and went off for a sulk.  I didn't orignally overinvest in that one website, I used about 6, but that was the only one in English so I used it for all my 'confirmation calls', which means it probably was responsible for over half of the content.  I do remember ripping off the intro and, I think, the outro, and thinking I must do something about that when I finally got my hands on something in print.  My sister and I are both off (Independently) sick at the moment but I'll give her a ring tomorrow.Deke42 21:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * This is getting ridiculous. I've just searched the entire Oxford University library and the Bodleian pre-1920 catalogues and they have nothing.  I'm starting to think Manzetti is a giant hoax.  I certainly think it might be a good idea to remove the whole page until someone can find something in hardcopy. Deke42 21:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Simfy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jango. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hiding the "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" message
Hello Deke42, hope you're having a good day! I'll be answering your question from Talk:Jean Jaurès here, since the thing you're asking to remove is not something included within that specific article. It is instead something built into MediaWiki backend code. However, you can remove it for yourself; the following code if put into User:Deke42/common.css should work: display: none !important; } That should work, but tell me if it didn't! ^-^ –Vipz (talk) 06:02, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
