 Handy hint: to keep discussions in one place, if you leave a talk message I'll answer it here, though I may put a note on your page if getting your attention seems important. However, if I leave a talk message on your page, and you respond here, I will respond on your page for consistency.

Thanks so much
When I think of all of us who worked together so hard for so long, I think of the line from Henry V We few, we happy few, we band of brothers...

It was a fun ride, wasn't it? So thanks you guys, that meant a lot to me.

This edit
Your bluntness is refreshing considering the level of duplicitous doublespeak used by certain editors. I congratulate you. If I only had the balls to say what you do, I'd be happier on here!!! Orangemarlin 22:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Gnixon had bitched that FM had reverted his digression without comment, that doing so wasn't fair, that he (nixon) had taken a very long time to write the digression, that he was insulted, et cetera, et cetera, ad nauseam (and I really do mean nausea) -- so, I only thought it fair to provide a reason for the rv lest Mr Nixon thought I was being unfair towards him  ;)   Ugh, sometimes Wiki can be more drama and trouble than than a soap opera and we can't even win an Emmy for our efforts.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  10:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Watch out, that editor will file some Rf something because you've insulted him. I gave up editing articles where he was located, because he whines if you revert any of his POV pushing edits.  I decided it isn't worth the effort.  I'm having fun with some nice intellectual pursuits on here.  Orangemarlin 11:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * He's free too do so, of course, I don't mind. Of course, the process can be used the other way too: he's a rather tendentious, POV-pushing editor who frequently wreaks havoc on the pages he edits, including causing other editors to avoid articles he is actively editing due to the nature of his edits, particularly on the talk pages.  Wouldn't surprise me if a few folks aren't already considering an RfC on his behaviour.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  17:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I guess you're stalking. Diff    I was accused of the same.    I just plain gave up on it.  There comes a point when someone's POV pushing needs to pushed back by someone else, because I just don't have the time or energy to be nice about the push back.  You should check out some of his POV edits.  If you think I'm wrong, then please tell me.  If you think I'm right, I could use some help.  Orangemarlin 19:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, he apologised...sort of. POV edits on Physics or on ID (I know he's done some stuff there) or elsewhere?  I don't care about his staking charges -- if an editor is running around making changes with a specific POV that he's pushing in violation of policy, fixing those edits is not stalking. See  Following an editor to another article to continue disruption (also known as wikistalking)  -- "This does not include checking up on an editor to fix errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, nor does it mean reading a user's contribution log; those logs are public for good reason."  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  09:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

 * My wife came out to me in the gaarden and told me the Prime Minister's announcement of the outbreak of war
 * Never mind, my dear, oi said to 'er. You put on the kettle, we'll have a nice cup of tea

 * Just an inadequate html attempt to replicate typical British-style muttering brought on by the reminder of all those black-and-white war films. Gad, the horrors of war films. Chamberlain is much maligned, mostly deservedly. Meanwhile, the battle of ID continues, without my participation for a bit. What make you of recent goings on? .. dave souza, talk 15:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I know the question wasn't meant for me, but let me put in my opinion on the ID discussions. It appears that there are 2-3 POV pushers who seem to be exceedingly patient in the matter.  One of the pushers complains that he's a "pot smoking liberal" but doesn't agree with the lack of NPOV on the ID article.  As a matter of fact, very few "liberals" brag about their pot smoking.  I don't inhale whenever I do.  Another of the POV-pushers uses a technique of throwing in dozens of edits.  Most of them look very legitimate but two or three are in fact very POV (anti-Evolution, in this case).  Another one just keeps pushing the anti-Evolution POV over and over.  Guettarda has indicated that there might be some interesting activities afloat to push a pro-religion agenda, and they are very careful as to how they do it.  These users appear to be doing so.   Another issue is that the several editors who have stood up to the POV-pushers aren't around.  I've given up, because frankly, it's not worth responding to every bogus argument they make.  Then if you do accuse them of their POV pushing, they file an WP:ANI, which takes more time.  I'm frustrated by what's happening.  ID is nothing more than a subtle religious argument for creationism.  Why is there such discussions going on?  I like Jim's responses--he's blunt, and could care less about what they creationists say about him.  This whole thing is depressing.  Orangemarlin 16:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

It's a bit more complex, as Morphh raised a genuine point which was backed up by a reading of Kitzmiller, leading to the current use of version 2. Despite the ghastly heading of "Just the facts, ma'm" which had me looking to see if it was a rasping person, Tomandlu is genuine and ok, imo. As I write, a useful suggestion is being put forward and agreed by Gnixon, who appears to be fair and against pro-ID pov, judging by recent actions. Looks promising, but I'm thinking about it before commenting... dave souza, talk 17:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow
Lovely work on God - the article is improving enormously. KillerChihuahua?!? 22:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * No step ass rat? What?  If you meant what I think you did, it's not translatable.  Nil morari is the closest you can get.  Interesting tidbit: in Latin, the root of "profound" (found most often in the phrase de profundis), is the exact opposite of "altum" in the quote.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  20:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nil carborundum illegitemii! Which reminds me, Johnson is regarded as the father of ID, but it was evidently conceived in 1987 before he'd even heard of it, which casts some doubt on the legitimacy of the offspring.... dave souza, talk 20:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Bad sign when illegitemi reminds one of Johnson, but it's true. :)  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  21:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm taking the slow approach at the hypothemyth page - it's not worth getting frustrated about. Also Str is OK with me - we have our moments but with enough time and attempts to work out what each other mean, we should end up with a stable title. Ta for the latin - they will come in useful when I want to look educated! Sophia  16:47, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't figure Str out -- he makes some good edits and some really bad ones. Sometimes his logic is sound, other times it's seriously flawed.  And I really wish he'd leave the language stuff alone -- he has no clue what he's on about.  Now, I have to go try to stabilise that section.  Grrrr.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  17:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Maybe he's flawed like all of us. He made a point over at one article or another, where he was very logical.  However, I still disagreed with him.  Orangemarlin 22:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The joys of being human. :)
 * In any case, on the God article he's busy claiming that Allah is not the Muslim name for God, while claiming "nameship" for a variety of other "words". I really wish that people who know nothing of linguistics would leave linguistic/etymological issues alone.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149;  20:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Greek question
Is this edit correct? JoshuaZ (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not, yes. The Theta actually represented an aspirated "t" not the th sound in either this (call an edh) or think (called a thorn). Two asprirated T's would've been a bit much for the Roman tongue (and, it's unlikely both T's were aspirated even in Greek by the 1st or 2nd century CE -- the t's weren't initially aspirated in Hebrew, but the Greek spelling comes from a contraction of Mattathias, and the first theta represents the middle vowel (the lack of which may have been mistaken for aspiration in Hebrew)). Yep, clear as mud.
 * Anyway, see Matthew 9:9, look for Μαθθαιον (accusative of Μαθθαιος) &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 22:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, now I feel ignorant. Are you aware of a good source we could stick in the article to back this up? JoshuaZ (talk) 23:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll check into one. &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 10:39, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

You deserve this

I don't mind disagreements so long as they're intelligently argued, and I think we've both done that from our respective perspectives ... hmm, "Respective Perspective" could be an album title.  But, I digress. I know we'll never agree on this issue, and so it goes: on the other hand we have "Weapons and war " and "Aviation" as common interests, and I too despise "Overlinking in general".

...in the BUFF...
Re: "BTW, BQ, is it true that BUFFs are cramped, smelly, sweaty, etc? I've never been inside one, but as an aviation geek, I love the plane and I'm just a bit curious"

Interesting that you posed this question while I was flying in one over Texas this afternoon. They are not spacious, but I've been in the T-37 and this thing is quite spacious by those standards. It isn't an airliner or anything but has seating for 10 (6 in ejection seats) with a standard crew of 5. There is only one spot you can stand all the way up in and that is at the base of the ladder. The jet I flew on today first flew in 1961 and others on the flightline were from 1960. Doing the math in my head (and mind you I'm just a newbie with 3 flights under my belt) that makes them about 49 years old. The seat cushions are original equipment and don't have much "cushion" in them. 49 years of guys puking during low levels into their masks, the seats, etc. After a few hours, the smell does become nauseating. I've never gotten airsick before the BUFF, but I threw up after 3 hours in the pattern. Apparently flying backwards with no windows will do that to a lot of people. Just about every military jet is "sweaty" when you get inside because they don't apply power to the aircraft until after the crew gets there (unlike airliners).

In any case, I have to debrief my flight in 7 hours and I need some sleep. G'night. If you have any more questions, just drop me a line. If I can't tell you the answer, I'll just let you know. — BQZip01 — talk 06:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick reply. Flying in a BUFF doesn't sound any too pleasurable, but you guys have an important role in our defense -- although trying to remember that while puking is probably pretty difficult!  I suppose, all things being equal, I'd rather be a pilot as you at least can see where you're going.  Anyway, you have my appreciation for the job you're doing, just wish you wouldn't get airsick (must he horrible). Take care.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 16:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Meh. It is a warplane and it wasn't designed to be a pleasure cruise.


 * A couple of stories:
 * There was an F-16 that took off and the pilot noticed his engine was running a little hot. After a few more minutes it was reaching dangerous levels, so he turned around and headed home. As he approached the field, he declared an emergency and was told "Roger, you are number 2 behind a B-52 on short final."
 * "Tower, why am I number 2? What's his problem?"
 * "The B-52 has an engine shut down."
 * The F-16 pilot pondered the situation for a moment, then said, "I see...the dreaded seven engine approach..."
 * During the Vietnam War, an F-4 was escorting a B-52 into his target. While doing that mission, he was having a ball doing barrel rolls, loops, and assorted aerial maeneuvers while taunting the BUFFs, "I betcha can't do this!"
 * One veteran BUFF driver had enough and said, "Oh yeah! I bet you can't do this!" About a minute later he says, "There!"
 * "Uh, I didn't see anything," said the F-4 pilot. "What'd you do?"
 * "I just got up and got a cup of coffee, took a whiz, and shut down an engine and I'm waiting for you to top that!"
 * Cheers! — BQZip01 —  talk 17:31, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Crew comfort isn't necessarily number one, I guess. LOL.
 * The stories were great, feel free to share more. The dreaded seven engine approach, indeed.  As much as I've always loved the F-16, only one engine would make me a bit nervous as a pilot.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 18:38, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Translation help needed
Hey, I saw you mentioned at Translators_available. Translation help needed for the articles Rus' people, Rus (name), Kievan Rus', Rus' Khaganate, and probably also Varangians and Annales Bertiniani.

Original Latin source: (starting with "Venerunt etiam legati Graecorum a Theophilo imperatore directi, Theodosius videlicet, Calcedonensis metropolitanus episcopus, et Theophanius spatharius, ferentes cum donis imperatore dignis epistolam quos imperator quinto decimo Kalendas Iunii in Ingulenheim honorifice suscepit" on that page, and continuing AFAIK for two more pages).

The Latin source I need help on is the Annales Bertiniani, which is a collection of Frankish annals that was completed in 882 AD. The issue behind this is the historical first mention of the Rus' people, which was a Norse tribe, also known as the Varangians from Sweden that, starting in the 9th century from Novgorod and Kiev (Kievan Rus') and allegedly under the leadership of their chieftain Rurik (or rather RøRikR in Old Norse) conquered portions of the Baltics and today's northwestern Russia, a realm which was soon known as the Rus' Khaganate (with the result that lots of placenames, such as Novgorod, actually have an Old Norse etymology). Eventually, the Rus' Khaganate, even though the Norse ruling elite was but small and soon assimilated to the Balto-Slavic population, became the nucleus and namegiver for modern Russia.

The thing is, this so-called Normannic theory is still kinda controversial, as modern Russian scholars often regard it as a modern romantic nationalist myth originating with late-19th century Pan-Germanism. What the Russians are saying is that the original Rus were actually Slavs. Now, these 9th century Annales Bertiniani seem to be a rather authoritative, and, given their time of origination, pretty concise, source to refute these Russian scholars.

What I get of this Latin text is only the gist of it. Apparently, a delegation of Rus people were interrogated by Frankish Emperor Louis the Pious at Ingelheim am Rhein in 839 AD, where they said that:
 * the name of their tribe was Rus (spelled "Rhos" in this Latin text, maybe via Byzantine Greek translation? As far as I can tell, a letter from Byzantine Emperor Theophilos or Michael III is mentioned),
 * they originally came from Sweden
 * but had settled in what is northwestern Russia today (I find this information several times in modern sources, attributing it to the Annales Bertiniani, but *WHAT THE HECK* was their contemporary name for "northwestern Russia"?), and
 * that they had switched to calling their chieftains chacanus now.

Chacanus is Latin for Khagan, a title they had likely borrowed from contact with the Avars while conquering from the Baltic coast southward. It's why their realm in centuries to come was to be known as the Rus' Khaganate.

But what I need for good sourcing is an exact translation of portions relevant to the informations bulleted above. Original Latin text at (starting with "Venerunt etiam legati Graecorum a Theophilo imperatore directi, Theodosius videlicet, Calcedonensis metropolitanus episcopus, et Theophanius spatharius, ferentes cum donis imperatore dignis epistolam quos imperator quinto decimo Kalendas Iunii in Ingulenheim honorifice suscepit" on that page, and continuing AFAIK for two more pages). --79.193.34.87 (talk) 02:58, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

New Rational Skepticism WikiProject member asking for look at Theosophy entry
Since you are an active participant in the Rational Skepticism WikiProject, would you mind looking over the Wikipedia entry on Theosophy to see if you find any concerns?

I've been ordered to fix the page so that it accords with my understanding of the NPOV policy. I'm happy to do that but I have a lot of work at my job. Now I've been told that I must make the changes by April 30th or the NPOV tag will be removed. I simply can't learn how to use Wikipedia as a newcomer, become familiar with all the sources, and make the edits if I must do it all by April 30th.

Would you look over the Theosophy page? Also, can you recommend anything? Thanks much,Factseducado (talk) 15:10, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, saw you making some minor changes on my watchlist, wow, welcome back!!! I trust and hope all is (reasonably) well with you? I thought you'd become a Missing Wikipedian on us. How nice to see your edits in my feed again! KillerChihuahua ?!? 16:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks KC! I have finally figured out what caused me to act kind of, well, odd, and become reclusive: unbeknownst to me I had MS, the symptoms of which caused deep depression and erratic behaviour. It's not all better now, but at least I know why the symptoms exist and that brings a certain peace of mind.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 16:48, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi also Jim, good to see you back and sorry to see the userboxes. Still, if the knowledge is helping at least that's something, hope you can make the best of it. Good luck for the future, dave souza, talk 16:51, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dave, much appreciated! Might take me a couple of days to pick up on Wiki's current dynamic, but it really is nice to be back. &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 17:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I am so sorry to hear of your illness, but glad you have identified it now and are hopefully getting some helpful treatment. Please let me know if you need anything (like a stack of articles to fix) or if I can be of help in any way. KillerChihuahua ?!? 17:00, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Know what, KC? A stack of articles might help. :) Might as well use my brain before it turns to mush...lol.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 17:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well of course you know all the usual suspects, Categories: Articles needing cleanup, and so on, but just yesterday I was doing the Random article thing and hit Bishop of Reykjavík (Catholic). I'll leave it to you to see how bad it is, and yet I'm sure there could be an excellent article there. KillerChihuahua ?!? 17:53, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, it needs serious help...I'll try to find more info and improve the darn thing. &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 18:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, bloody hell...no Icelandic article. Not that I'm good with Icelandic, but I do get some of it.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 18:10, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Picky, picky. You could always just pick one of the 15 articles in Category:Articles needing cleanup from March 2007 and move us one step closer to having that category cleared. KillerChihuahua ?!? 18:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * For example: Józef Mroszczak. KillerChihuahua ?!? 18:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL. 2007?  Damn.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 18:47, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Hey, looks like you're finding plenty already! Next time I find a furrin language source I'll be back for assistance instead of ignoring it. . dave souza, talk 20:21, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! :)  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 22:57, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, refresh my goofy memory. I can's find the steps for proposing deletion.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 23:08, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not something I've done much, at a guess WP:RFD should show how to do it, nope that didn't work but it has a link to Deletion process which gives links to the more useful Guide to deletion. Think the last one is what you want.. . . dave souza, talk 08:34, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * And List of Code Lyoko media can't decide if it's a list or an article. And yes, I forget how to rename.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 23:21, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Now I've just had a quick reminder about this, if it's uncontroversial click on the move tab at the top of the page, preferably giving your reasons on article talk first in case anyone's interested. If it looks controversial or there are any technical difficulties then look at WP:RM and follow the instructions to put a template on the article talk page giving your reasons. . dave souza, talk 08:34, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Anoyjer flippin' question: Has it become normal to add birth and death dates for every person mentioned? Looks like crap. See Theosophy  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera!
 * Some books do that, it's not normal here: if the persons concerned have bio articles their dates will be in the bios. It would probably be useful to have a form of words to show the timing of when the people contributed to the topic. No doupt WP:MOS says something about it, but I've not looked. . dave souza, talk 08:34, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Your Afd nom
Hey Jim, I noticed you forgot to place a deletion argument at the top of the list you nominated - check out Articles for deletion/List of Twitter users in India for an example of how to do this. Basically, you just need to post at the top of Articles for deletion/Timeline for September following the September 11 attacks with the reasons why you think it should be deleted. KillerChihuahua ?!? 23:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll try again -- I screwed it up last night.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 01:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't need to relist it, you just need to post why you think it should be deleted here. Click on the link, and post your reasoning. :-) KillerChihuahua ?!? 02:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 02:45, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries, you've been away from here for a while. It will all come back to you soon enough. :-) of course, then you'll wonder why you came back. KillerChihuahua ?!? 02:48, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Wiki needs serious hep... wtf is List of birds on stamps of Albania? [Jim62sch] 03:20, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Part of Category:Lists of birds on stamps – remember, philately will get you nowhere! Best to let them get on with it, someone no doubt finds these lists useful. . dave souza, talk 07:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

OK, I'll let it go...and maybe start a list of Adolf Hitler on stamps of Germany or some such rot. &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 17:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sigh. And yet we're not allowed to have Category:Vice Presidents who have shot people during peacetime (leaving Aaron Burr and Dick Cheney woefully under-categorized). It seems so arbitrary! Anyhow, welcome back. Sorry to see the Phillies having such a tough time this year. MastCell Talk 17:36, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

lol...too true. And thank you, it's nice to be back. The Phillies had too many injuries, but I'm hopeful that next year will be better (which is exactly what I used to say from about 1985 to 2006). &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 17:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you, KC! And it's great to be back and to be able to contribute and help a good cause...let me stop here, it's getting all mushy like a Miss America Pageant winner. ;)  But, seriously, thank you.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 01:54, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Rauville-la-Place
Hi: It had been over a week since you expanded this with text from the Catalan article, so I went ahead and did my best with what remained untranslated. I have put a template on the section indicating that it is a rough translation that needs checking. Thanks for the expansion and for translating it - but next time, please either insert the new text only after translating it into English, or put it in commented out and then translate it little by little as you did. And please don't leave notes visible in mainspace; again, you can comment these out, or there is a template for articles in progress, but that's intended only to be used for a day or two. I hope I didn't mess up on what I translated, and would be grateful if you'd check it when you have time and remove the section template after making it accurate :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 18:49, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * No worries...I meant to have had it done in a day, but real life intruded. :) But, you do bring up a good point about methodology, so thank you.  I'll check it either tonight or tomorrow. Cheers.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 20:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Nostradamus
I have raised some concerns about Nostradamus on the article talk page. As Sandy Georgia kindly informs me that an FAR is premature, I'd appreciate some input on the talk page and some ideas on how to improve it first without delisting.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  13:58, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Your IQ really 173? That's astonishing. User:John Carter has an IQ of 166, but you've become the highest IQ I've encountered. You both have an IQ higher than Albert Einstein! My IQ is 149, pretty dumb compared to you two super geniuses eh! His Baldness demands a brain transplant from Jim62 to enhance his evil quest for world domination. Mwwwoohahahaa. On a serious note, I'll try to make some referencing improvements to Nostradamus in the coming week. Have you seen the documentaries on him, especially the Orson Welles one? Quite fascinating. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  22:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * A friend once commented that anything over 145 is a waste, and, although I rejected the argument at first, experience seems to show that to be true: bottom line is that people generally can't understand anything said by someone with an IQ of 130, let alone 145. &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 11:13, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

I think that's true to an extent although in my experience the other way round, I find general conversation in pubs about "lad" topics as particularly mind numbing. Too few people about you can truly have an intellectually engaging conversation with! You like chess at all? I used to be an excellent player at one time, not played much since the wikipedia phenomenon!!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  14:11, 20 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Hence my having few real friends and many acquaintances -- the latter being easy to walk awat from when their trivialities become a nuisance. Yes, I play, but infrequently.  &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 14:17, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

An Evil Award for You!

 * Merci. In my case the award could be seen as especially apt as my MBTI is INTJ, which is frequently called the "Mastermind".  Bwahahaha.   &#0149;Jim 62 sch&#0149; dissera! 11:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Population Matters
Hi, in case you have the time, I'm making a general request hoping that someone can tidy my machine code translation of the Population Matters' article mentioned. (Ultimately I hope to move the article to "População é importante" or whatever might be the best translation of "Population (as a subject) is important"). The article is currently up for deletion so I'm contacting a few potential translators. Please check: Population_Matters&action=history to avoid wasting time. If the article is deleted I would still appreciate its development at w:pt:Usuário(a):Gregkaye/Testes. Any help with any population related article would also be appreciated. Many thanks Gregkaye (talk) 06:20, 15 July 2014 (UTC) w:en:User_talk:Gregkaye

Article upgrade assistance request (Pre-translation stage)
Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.

While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.

Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.

This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Translators available list.

Thanking you with warm regards Mahitgar (talk) 05:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

File:Commemorative Żorawski Medal, 1931.jpg needs authorship information
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Commemorative Żorawski Medal, 1931.jpg appears to be missing information as to one (or more) of the following :
 * 1) The author or creators of the work, (including information as to the author's lifespan).
 * 2) Where and how this particular version was obtained.
 * 3) When the work was created,

If you did provide such information, it is currently confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).


 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.

Please also add authorship and sourcing to other files you created or uplopaded. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:48, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Do you happen to have a source for this edit from many years ago? Specifically the bullet that in the year 108, 'In Rome, the opening of "Doctor's offices" replaces "house calls".'
