WPMED list of open tasks
You listed an article at the Wikipedia Medicine project's list of open tasks some months ago. It's not clear to me whether your concerns have been addressed. Would you please look at the article you listed, and if it has improved, remove it from the list of open tasks? If you still have concerns about the article, please let me know, and I'll see if together we can recruit some assistance with it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. Basically I was putting up an article about Eugen Bircher, whom I knew as a figure in the far right in Switzerland. However, in the course of research I discovered that he was a pioneer in Arthroscopy, although, given that my medical knowledge is non-existent, I had no idea how important he was in that field (or even what arthroscopy is). Therefore I was hoping that somebody who does know could fill out that section of the article to indicate his importance, his discoveries or whatever it is he accomplished in his medical field. I'm happy enough looking after his political activity but really the medical aspect is beyond my expertise. Thanks. Keresaspa (talk) 14:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


 * How's that look to you now? I added information to both Eugen Bircher and to Arthroscopy.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Excellent - just the sort of thing I was hoping for. Thanks a million for your help :) Keresaspa (talk) 13:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Frank McCoubrey
I have nominated Frank McCoubrey, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Frank McCoubrey. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

 * Thanks for pointing this out to me - I'll try to get it up to speed ASAP. Keresaspa (talk) 14:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Azbuka
Done, no problem ;). Thank you for your contributions by the way, I am also interested in far-right extremism in historical perspective and noticed many times you started or expanded many articles. Keep going! :) - Darwinek (talk) 15:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. Always good to have as many as possible working on the far right. Keresaspa (talk) 15:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Terry Flynn
Per your request at Articles for deletion/Terry Flynn, I have deleted this page as a speedy deletion under criteria G7 - Author Request. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Best, UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 16:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

CfD nomination of Category:Nazis from outside Germany
Category:Nazis from outside Germany, which you created, has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. Cgingold (talk) 12:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * That's an impressive roster of articles on right-wing extremists.
 * PS - Great to come across another Jethro Tull fan! Cgingold (talk) 12:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

You might also want to join the discussion that's under way on Category:Christian nazis. Cgingold (talk) 12:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * If I'm being honest I was never altogether happy with that category myself. I do feel a category for people who declared themselves as supporting the Nazis but who were not directly involved in Nazi Germany is useful but created that more as a placeholder, hoping in fact that it would spark debate. I'll contribute in a while when opinion has built up as I'm not wholly sure what the best solution would be.


 * Oh and up the Tull :) Keresaspa (talk) 12:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I just responded to your comments in the CFD discussion. I didn't even realize that you had replied here (or there). From my experience in CFDs, it's much better to weigh in early, rather than waiting several days, as comments are much more likely to be read by the other participants, who may not check in again after the second day of discussion. But if need be, we can have this one relisted for further discussion. Cgingold (talk) 12:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Sir George Renwick, 1st Baronet
Please note that it is acceptable to use this form for the titles of articles about baronets if necessary to disambiguate, since it is incorrect to write George Renwick, 1st Baronet without the "Sir". Please see the appropriate naming convention. -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

The department currently provides a centralized platform off all currently open reviews throughout the project (Featured Articles, Peer Reviews, Good Articles, Articles for Deletion, Categories for Discussion, etc.)
 * A new task force has been introduced: the Paris task force. Any users interested in contributing to the taskforce can join on the project page.
 * There is a current discussion about merging the French Communes WikiProject into ours. This communes project will be organised as a task force.

Nationalist Alliance
Hey thanks for the rewrite on the Nationalist Alliance. The only thing I think the article needs is a link to the Electoral Commission page showing them as de-registered...I will let the AfD run as a matter of course, though, I'm a man of routine and process =P doktorb wordsdeeds 18:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

BNP/NF election results
The pages British National Front election results and British National Party election results were deleted last summer. As someone who contributed to one or both of those pages, I thought you might be interested in supporting their recreation. The grounds for deletion were that they were unreferenced (correct, but easily put right); they were unencyclopaedic (??? - no reasons given) and that they violated BLP policy (ridiculous, but which, by implication, means that any page that names an election candidate should be deleted). The deletion debate is at Articles for deletion/British National Party election results. No contributors to the pages were consulted.

I asked the admin who deleted the pages to reconsider, but he refused. I have belatedly requested a Deletion Review (see Deletion review/Log/2009 February 1) to which you may wish to contribute. I eventually managed to obtain copies of the deleted articles and have now referenced the entire content. You can see them at User:Emeraude/British National Front election results and User:Emeraude/British National Front election results. Emeraude (talk) 11:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message and support. Everything is referenced, though rather untidily. As I had said after the original "debate" and deletion, it was a matter of minutes to find references anyway! Emeraude (talk) 10:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

But there's no pleasing some people. The BNP results article has been nominated for deletion again!!!! You might want to contribute at Articles for deletion/British National Party election results (2nd nomination). Emeraude (talk) 22:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

U+0027 to U+2019
Hello Keresaspa.

I am wondering why you made this edit. I don't disagree, but I am wondering what your reason is. It appears you have converted a Unicode U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK to a U+0027 APOSTROPHE. Can you satisfy my curiosity? —fudoreaper (talk) 04:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll reply here, eve though this will cause a split thread. Okay, i understand your reasoning.  (i actually mislabled the title of this section, i now realize).  Anyway, they are both valid unicode characters, as far as i can see, though the U+0027 is commonly on US keyboards, and U+2019 is not.  In my character map (using Ubuntu), the Unicode standard appears to have an official recommendation: "• this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe"  But i have never heard of this, or even been aware that Unicode would make a recommendation like this any recommendation.  I was wondering if you were having any similar thoughts. It appears not, but i just wanted to explain myself.  I'll leave the page as it is now, an maybe do some more research on this. By the way, both characters appear just fine on my display, one is angled, one is vertical. Very minor difference.  Cheers —fudoreaper (talk) 20:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough both versions look fine now, although my Internet Explorer had a pretty major update today and that seems to have fixed it. I don't have a particular preference either way for which version is used (in fact the whole subject is a bit beyond me) so whichever you prefer I'll be happy to go along with.

Jacques Benoist-Mechin and Jacques Benoist-Méchin
Hi, saw your article on Jacques Benoist-Méchin and was happy about your setting a link at novel. Be bold and correct spellings if you see Wikipedians failed here. To be corrected by someone who knows it better is a pleasure. --Olaf Simons (talk) 08:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD
Please see: Articles for deletion/Biographical Dictionary of the Extreme Right Since 1890 (2nd nomination), which you contributed to. Steve Dufour (talk) 03:19, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Acción Española
Good work on this article for the most part, but I have to question this—"the new monarchy would be strongly authoritarian and corporatist in naure, showing a clear influence from fascism". I don't see why authoritarianism means an influence from fascism and also corporatism was widely accepted by many Catholics at the time as a way to avoid the extremes of capitalism and socialism (to an extent the concept of Christian democracy is related). Its not nessarily fascist influence, but rather the ultra-monarchist and Catholic nature of the organisation itself. - Yorkshirian (talk) 22:05, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just paraphrasing Stanley Payne on that bit from the page of his book referenced. I take your point about but as I say it is Payne's take on it rather than mine. Keresaspa (talk) 00:25, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Pinochet fascist
Could you take a look at the Pinochet article and check the sources about him being a fascist? I am failing to see the corporatism prong satishfied for him to be fascist? Do you find the sources offered credible and reliable? thanks--Die4Dixie (talk) 05:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * They're mostly OK, if a bit lacking in academic muscle - a few too many of them are using 'fascist' as a general term of abuse without thinking of a deeper meaning for my liking. Still I've removed and broken up the single reference into smaller ones and then added some opposing academic views in a new section as there is too much debate about the nature of Pinochet's regime for it just to say fascist from the get-go. Hope that helps and thanks for pointing it out to me. Keresaspa (talk) 17:06, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Pinochet
That's a major improvement. Thanks for mediating and making the language more neutral. Likeminas (talk) 18:24, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I would have done it sooner but I haven't been over at the article in some time. Keresaspa (talk) 18:33, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Do yu have an opinion on the stupidly place (by my pointy self) Fascsm portal side bars. It seems that they are now enamored with them after having edit warred to keep them out. Seems like he would need more corporatism ( couldn´t really see any to tell you the truth ) to actually be added to the category and portal.--Die4Dixie (talk) 08:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
