Your username
Hi Grutness, just stopped by to say that I don't know why but I love your username. This word, Grutness, should be included in English dictionary and should mean the dogged determination to do something. Well, don't ask me why. I know it is just a weird thought. - DSachan (talk) 20:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi DSachan - glad you like it. It's actually a place in Scotland (see Grutness). I spotted it while looking through an atlas several years ago and started using it as the name of a small magazine I was editing. It sort of stuck, and now I use it both for my art (see here and as a username online, both in Wikipedia and elsewhere. Grutness...wha?  01:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Grutness,thanks for the heads-up about the accepted convention.I actually thought stub tags should be added at the top so that readers can contribute if they can,on seeing a very visible tag.Guess I was wrong. :) EaswarH (talk) 08:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from Jaz
Hello Grutness, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Jaz has been removed. It was removed by Youngamerican with the following edit summary ' (rv back to dab, artist flunks WP:N) '. Please consider discussing your concerns with Youngamerican before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.

Hello Grutness
I saw your edit to Lisa Vidal and I told myself, "Wow, I haven't seen Grutness around here for sometime".

Anyway, take care of yourself because you are truly one of the great ones. Tony the Marine (talk) 00:54, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Southland
Perhaps the search term "Southland" returns many links to the "Southland Region" when you are using Google New Zealand (http://www.google.co.nz) but the US version of Google (http://www.google.com) returns many pages of links to the very popular NBC TV show Southland -- it is by far the number one item. I see no mention of the Southland Region of New Zealand until the sixth page, where the Wikipedia page finally shows up.

Leaflet (talk) 01:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The US version of google seems to be the only one which returns the TV series first. And the article on that series has long been at Southland (TV series) simply because it wasn't the primary use of the term. In any case, as I said, over 90% of the links to Southland were to the place in New Zealand - the TV series wasn't even second on that list: The Southland, an area of Los Angeles, was.

Drei Schwestern
Are you sure Kuhgrat is part of the Drei Schwestern? I have a map which implies that whilst there are 3 peaks in a row east of Schaan it is the northernmost of these that is Drei Schwestern and Garsellakopf and Kuhgrat are separate mountains. This page certainly gives heights for the secondary peaks of Drei Schwestern that don't match the heights of Garsellakopf and Kuhgrat. JMiall ₰  21:26, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi 2
Hi,

Thank you for your support.

I just come to subscribe to the wikipedia program. I know that my article about this journalist doesn't cite any references. This is why I would like to add the external links that I have found, for writing my article. But the problem is: I don't know how to add them to the article.

I would like to add, also a picture of this journalist who died 10 years ago now. I am the owner of this photo. I have permission to post this photo. How can I do?

Thank you in advance, for your understanding,

 * I am not sure patriarchs of Constantinople are even "rulers"-- but if they are-- the Roman Pope is considered a monarch. Regents are viceregal rulers, e.g. Category:10th-century viceregal rulers-- but let be know of any you find. Some monarchs were regents first.

Why are you deleting historical data?
Can you give a reason other than your personal stance on religion for deleting "# List of nontheists (surnames E to G) and
 * 1) List of nontheists (surnames H to K)?

Rebturtle (talk) 07:50, 29 October 2009 (UTC) RebTurtle


 * Sure. Both lists were completely empty - there were no names on the lists. That's why they were deleted CSD-A3 ("no meaningful substantive content"). The entirety of the second of those articles, at the time of its deletion, was one line: "Atheists with surnames starting H to K, sortable by the field for which they are mainly known and nationality" plus a cleanup template.


 * As to my "personal stance", not that it's any of your business, I am a non-theist. Please don't make assumptions about a person's motives when none - other than the functionality of Wikipedia - are there. Grutness...wha?  09:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Alan Liefting
Hi Grutness, I note your posting on Alan's talk page:, do you think it is time to ask again? I would but I am not sure about what sort of criteria needs to be meet for a request for adminship, and I know you will! I would be willing to support a nomination :) Kiwiteen123 (talk) 08:19, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Almost certainly worthwhile, and I'm sure Alan would meet all the criteria. By coincidence I asked another Kiwi today whether he'd reconsidered his earlier decision not to stand for admin, but I'd forgotten that Alan wasn't an admin yet. If you want to ask him, feel free (it's easy enough to nominate someone, and I'd definitely be keen toa dd my name to the nom. Grutness...wha?  09:46, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Alan stood for adminship in 2006. I'd say that the main reason he failed was that he didn't give sufficient answers to the standard questions, and was absent from Wikipedia during the RFA, and so could not elaborate his answers to match criticism of them. I think it would have gone much better if he'd been able to respond to the first few opposes.


 * Undoubtedly he's a much more experienced Wikipedian now, but he does take a relatively strong deletionist position, and frequently nominates articles for speedy deletion which do not meet the criteria. He believes that the speedy deletion criteria are too narrow. I think any current RFA would meet opposition due to this; I think he would need to make an undertaking to be very conservative in deleting articles as an admin. He could campaign to change speedy deletion criteria, but he doesn't need to be an admin to do this.- gadfium 19:06, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Forgive my butting in, but I agree with Gadfium's assessment. Alan makes CSD requests that are do no meet the current criteria. Frequently. Personally I agree with Alan that CSD should be widened to allow greater scope for disposal. Nevertheless in the current RfA environment any nomination of Alan for Adminship would, in my opinion, not be successful. Crafty (talk) 19:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi all, I personally would still nominate Alan however I feel that the points you raise, Gadfium, need to be discussed in order to improve Alan's chances. Perhaps this should be moved onto its own page User talk:Kiwiteen123/Alan Liefting Nomination or similar?? But it could just stay here, I will have a look at his edits then reply to Gadfium's comment (not that I'm much of an expert), Kiwiteen123 (talk) 02:40, 30 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Closed Alan has stated on his talk page that he does not wish to be an admin. A real shame... But it's his decision! Kiwiteen123 (talk) 03:07, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Usage and Abusage
Dated it is, but it is still a favourite of mine, along with Simon's Paradigms Lost. I first read the latter on a trans-Atlantic flight, chortling to myself at frequent intervals. The stranger in the seat beside me wanted to know what was so funny. I read an exerpt aloud, barely able to keep sufficient composure to form the words. When I finished, tears in my eyes, he stared at me for several seconds, then stood up, and walked towards the rear of the plane. I didn't see him again, not even when leaving the plane. True story. Thanks for the further explanation of "awhile" versus "a while"; mine lacked clarity. Bielle (talk) 02:33, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

AfD nominations
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of United States towns with the same name as subnational regions. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of United States towns with the same name as subnational regions. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Seems that it's not only the article itself's viewcount which benefits from being on the front page - peripheral articles do too.

Dunedin Town Hall
Dear Grutness,

I notice some changes to the article I posted about the Dunedin Town Hall. It's great to have the pictures and good to have things like the pound sign in place of the word "pound". I haven't been through them all yet to check what's happened. I did notice someone added a sentence: "The older part of the building is the only substantial Victorian town hall still in existence in New Zealand." This is sourced to a book, it's not just taken out of thin air, but I really doubt its truth. What about the Port Chalmers Town Hall for example? That's Victorian and I would have thought most people would consider it substantial.

It may be someone else put that there and I shouldn't be addressing this to you. If so, you may be able to work out better than I can where it came from.

Anyway, thanks for the contributions.

My apologies
I would like to offer my most sincere apologies for the incident regarding the bacon stubs category. I should've known that such inclusions need to be approved through discussion before they are created. I know that now. I just didn't know that at the time. I didn't even know that such a process existed and I would've followed the standard procedures had I known otherwise. And please understand that I wasn't actually accusing LadyofShallot of being a "busybody" (I purposely put in speechmarks for that reason), it was intended as a humorous response in reaction to the edit I linked on the discoveries page. I would NEVER otherwise refer to other editors here, especially not her, as a busybody. As of this posting, I am holding nothing against the Wikipedia policies and guidelines regarding the creation of stub categories and also never intended to go against them. I deeply apologise if it came across that way. I am also regretful of any inconvenience this incidient may have caused you. I know that the stub category team take what they do very seriously, are very good at what they do, and are highly under-appreciated for the work they do for Wikipedia.--<b style="font-family:Rockwell; color:blue;">Sky Attacker</b>   the legend reborn...  02:34, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No apologies necessary, and thanks for your kind words about stub-sorting. Stub work's a pretty obscure part of Wikipedia, and it's fairly common for stub types to be created "out of process". Most of the time it's fairly straightforward to put things right (I'd say over half of them are just accepted with no corrections or changes needed at all) - and yours certainly wasn't bad compared to some we've had over the years, so it's not a big hassle. As to the "busybody" business, yes, I later saw the quote on your talk page that started that - it's a shame it's so hard to spot when comments are tongue-in-cheek online!

I also found some coordinates for the Walters Shoals here, and I tried to add them, but a strange red 'Unidentified Characters Detected' came up, so would you mind adding the coordinates for the article? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (Talk • Contribs) 02:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
