Alzheimer's disease
Are you sure about this? That useless editor, io creep, owns the article, so he thinks it's all wrong. I'm so sick of tendentious editors. Orange Marlin Talk• Contributions 05:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure?
Are you sure? I've been using Huggle for a while and it follows that pattern... So it's highly likely i closed before it did fully sent the warning. --Cream (talk) 21:58, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's okay, i receive the live feed from the IRC server then Huggle shows me the difference and i analyze, if i want a revert i press space then the Q letter for the next suspect... To get huggle, i can give you a copy, but since it's regulary updated, you better try to mail Gurch... --Cream (talk) 22:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Chemin de Fer du Finistère
I've reverted your edit to Chemin de Fer du Finistère as the source is quoted (ref #4). From the source:-


 * Epoque Léon Bollée


 * La première locomotive, reçue par le réseau, fut une curieuse machine à chaudière verticale, construite par Léon Bollée au Mans. (Le frère d’Amédée constructeur de voitures). Reçue en 1892, elle portait le nom de « BREST-n°1 ». Elle pouvait remorquer de 44 à 48 tonnes. Ce qui paraissait économique à l’époque. Sa disparition n’a pu être déterminée. Epoque Corpet


 * Pour la remplacer, le concessionnaire du réseau allait se tourner vers le principal constructeur de machines à voie étroite : Corpet.


 * Toutes les machines livrées seront des 030 T (0 : pas d’essieu guideur, 3 : 3 roues motrices, 0 : pas d’essieu porteur, T : tender incorporé). Les machines 1 à 7 pesaient 15 tonnes avec des roues de 0,900 de diamètre. Le timbre des chaudières d’abord de 10 kg, fut porté à 12,5 à partir de la 13. Certaines locomotives livrées en 1912 roulèrent jusqu’en 1927 voire plus longtemps sur certaines rescapées.


 * La dernière livrée, 29/1403 « Porspoder », le fut au titre de la section Portsall-Porspoder.


 * It;s the old story again, what is written vs what is meant by what is written. kg = kgf/cm2! Pressures in ln/in2 obtained by using this conversion tool. Mjroots (talk) 20:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Lol, you'll just have to believe me on this! :-p Mjroots (talk) 21:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:Thule society
Hi LeadSongDog. Basically you can base the AfD on what you wrote on my talk page. There's no specific criteria for AfD since it's a discussion rather than a unilateral decision, so it's more open. ... disco spinster   talk  16:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I see you've been true to your word on contributing to Thule Society, and in spite of our earlier disagreement I will say that I for one appreciate it. Mind you, I've never seen these language tags used in main text before and they do look a little out of place. Is this standard practice? Gnostrat (talk) 19:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If there's constructive engagement, the article can be fixed. My cardinal objection was to leaving it in place indefinitely in it's prior state.  Re the language tags, I'm not sure if there's strong guidance in WP:MOS one way or the other.  I don't particularly like their present graphic format, but I expect that the template graphics will eventually be improved and at least it's better than having every instance formatted differently.  By using the templates it enables bot-assisted review by WikiProject Babel.  I'll have a look at the MOS.LeadSongDog (talk) 19:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions to help prevent future "Wiki-lobbying"
Your suggestions here were potentially very good ones. Do you plan to take them forward at a different venue? (I've only been here a couple of months and don't have the knowledge/technical expertise to do it myself.) Anyway, it could be a real contribution. thanks, Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:37, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the comment. I'm not really sure where this discussion will play out, but it certainly has the attention of admins and other adept wikipedians.  I often prefer to toss out the concepts and leave the haggling to others when I can.  Really good ideas seem to find their own champions to get them through the maze somehow.LeadSongDog (talk) 14:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
