Sample argument
Ooper, I wish I saw what you posted three weeks ago. Thank you for posting it now. :)

Anyway, it seems like people on FR.Wikipedia prefer more modestly-stated (i.e. "in my opinion," etc.) arguments. I am used to the school of thought that states that "in my opinion" would weaken one's stance on an issue (and not make it seem absolute). I take Rhetoric II and the textbook states that sometimes the "in my opinion" argument works. Perhaps "in my opinion" would make it work on FR. WhisperToMe 16:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

After seeing your debate, I feel that FR needs to find a way to keep active debates fresh (instead of having it shown for a few days and then fade away into an arcchive) - My complaint is not so much that .FR is different (there are some vital differences, such as lack of fair use, to correspond to state and cultural issues) - I hate seeing debates "die" instead of being resolved. There was no conclusion whatsoever to the Japanese name debate I started (unless it was continued on some talk page that I know nothing about). There is no conclusion to the issue regarding "Kiichi Miyazawa" (Darkoneko is refusing to state whether he still supports or opposes my proposal to move "Ki'ichi Miyazawa" to "Kiichi Miyazawa"). People have to participate in talk if they want to resolve issues.

On EN debates are usually resolved (either "Consensus" or "No consensus") - If no-one responds to a talk request, that person has free reign to act on his request/propsosal (no response = no opposition).

By the way, I would like to find a way to talk to Arnaudus in English; he indicated that he does not wish for me to speak in English or machine-translated French on his talk page, and he has no link to an e-mail address or another form of contact. WhisperToMe 16:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Ooperhoofd?
Moet Ooperhoofd niet eigenlijk Opperhoofd zijn, beste kerel? -The Bold Guy- 11:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You ask a good question.  U en ik lach samen.
 * The fact-of-the-matter is that I'm tired of this user name. It's too long, too fancy ... but the joke is on me.  After all, I'm the one who chose it.  As you know, it's a silly misspelling.  It just happened that a neighbor laughed with me about my spelling on the day I first joined Wikipedia; and at that time, I thought "Ooperhoofd" would be a good reminder that I need to try to restrain my arrogance. Wij allebei glimlachen. Dank u zeer. --Ooperhoofd 12:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Bownlee/Brownlee
Hi Ooperhoofd, You've been adding John S. Bownlee and John S. Brownlee as references to many articles. I suppose you're copying and pasting from some article. Are they the same person, or different people? If they're the same, which spelling is correct, the one that begins with "Bo" or the one that begins with "Bro"? Fg2 22:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Both books are by the same author -- "Brownlee." I will correct my typos now.  Thanks for alerting me. --Ooperhoofd 00:11, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * That would have been my guess but you're the one with the books. Thanks for clearing it up. Fg2 01:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, it would be really fascinating, but i've found nothing new. I was just categorizing some articles, and it didn't seem so out of context. It happens sometimes that the Portuguese articles and the English articles on the same subject sometimes differ a bit, and for the sake of coherence they shouldn't. If you want and if you can i have an example. It's about the City of Nagasaki (PT). It has the Template:Portuguese Empire and the Category:Ancient Portuguese territories. Sometimes i found things related to a certain subject in English that there aren't in Portuguese and vice-versa. That's good, but sometimes, especialy in matters like these it's hard to know which version is closer to the truth.

José Correa de Serra
I was unaware of that, but it was good to know. Unfortunatley i can't add nothing to that, but if i find anything relevant i'll let you know.

Thanks! -- Bluedenim  23:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Oe
Hello there, in answer to your questions; 1. I stumbled across the Oe page because I was following vandalism by User talk:195.194.47.34 (via The Krays which I have on my watchlist). 2. comments such as OE Gang : On Edge The most up graffiti artists currently in Scotlands capital city, Edinburgh [and] OE Gang : On Edge The most up graffiti villans in the Scottish capital beyaaatch [and] OE Gang : Obese Ethiopians The One Thing In Life That Wont Happen DUNCANCUMMING FORUM WOOOOOOOOHOOOO - didn't seem encyclopedic. I did spot a news article that there are graffiti gangs in Edinburgh including one that calls itself Oe who post graffiti everywhere, same as gangs in many other cities I should think, not particularly notable though. However if I am proved wrong, perhaps someone will create an article for the OE gang complete with reliable cites. Sue Wallace 21:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the compliment, I must admit that I often hesitate (perhaps too long) to remove dubious subject matter, and I have sometimes come unstuck.
 * I am very interested in Japanese culture and history so I will peruse the articles you mentioned. Have a good weekend. Sue Wallace 22:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Ooperhoofd: I just wanted to say thanks for your contributions to Itakura Shigemune; I'm certainly learning from your stuff, that's for sure! I know you're busy with the nengo and other projcts; just wanted to thank you for taking the time to contribute to this article. Best regards. -Tadakuni 16:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess I was following the practice of the other Japanese names I had seen in other birth categories that didn't have the defaultsort tag, but did mention the family name at the top of the article; either way the category would sort by the family name with or without the defaultsort tag if the family name appeared first. That was why I made the change; but I'm happy to leave it as is.--FeanorStar7 00:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

A (very[, very{, very}]) belated answer
Well, you might be interested in continuing this discussion. I am afraid that I have further little to offer, at least for now. Please answer in that page. Waltham, The Duke of 11:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
