Your proposed deletion of Hideki Kamiya
What makes you think he isn't notable enough to warrant his own article? He may not be a household name like Hideo Kojima, Hironobu Sakaguchi or Shigeru Miyamoto, but he created Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe, both which are relatively popular franchises by Capcom. It needs an expansion at the very least. [ [User:Jonny2x4|Jonny2x4]] 04:46, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

-menistani and -men
You wanted to discuss this? Have you started discussion on this anywhere, or should I do so? &mdash; Nightst a  llion  (?) 14:48, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay, Nightstallion; I've been busy with the other parts of my life. The discussion is now begun on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Central Asia.  Thanks for the prodding.  Lesnail 15:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, and gladly! &mdash; Nightst a  llion  (?) 16:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I've cleaned up all election and currency article titles; if you find any other articles still not using -stani for the seven -stans, please correct them. Thanks! &mdash; Nightst a  llion  (?) 16:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Category:Romantic operas
Hi. The discussion about the above isn't on the Opera Project page but on its discussion (duh!) page, at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Opera. Best. --GuillaumeTell 20:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Borghese antiquities
I'm extremely puzzled by your comment here - antiquity says nothing like what you said. Please revisit. Thanks Johnbod 15:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, you are quite right--antiquity says nothing like what I said. However, there is also a page antiquities, which does say just what I said, and which is the one that I looked at.  Probably those pages should not both exist.  The fact that they both do and that they say different things suggests however suggests that there isn't a clear consensus on what counts as an antiquity.  Maybe renaming the category to classical antiquities of .... would help with that confusion. Lesnail 16:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've solved that problem! Looking at the history, it has redirected to Antiquity or to artifact (archaeology) for most of the time since 2005. Now it redirects to antiquity again, which is the universal usage to my mind. I don't object to a rename to include classical per se, although there are many other categories it would then be inconsistent with. I'd have to think about that.  Johnbod 19:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Now even more sorted - see Antiquities Johnbod 02:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Lovely! Lesnail 21:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

W.E.Hill & Sons
You changed the name of this article to William Hill & Sons on the grounds of standardization. Although this firm was known under several similar names in its history, the preferred name seems to be W.E.Hill & Sons (see Talk:William Hill & Sons, and I have edited the article to clarify this. I included the suffix "(violins)" in the original article name, to remove any possibility of confusion with William Hill (bookmaker). --RichardVeryard 09:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know about this. I really have no idea whether "William Hill & Sons" or "W.E. Hill & Sons" is more appropriate.  When I changed the name earlier I was just going with the name that was given most prominently in the article back then.  The problem with adding "(violins)" to the end is that William Hill and his sons are not violins, but violin makers.  If some sort of disambiguation suffix were needed it would have to be something like "(violin making firm)," but I don't think we really need it in this case. Lesnail 20:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for cleaning up the articles about Hill bowmakers (Leeson etc.) - the grammar of a native speaker is usually better :) --Bowsbows 20:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Category:Molluscs of New Zealand
Hi, I saw you removed Category:Molluscs of New Zealand from Category:Molluscs, saying that it was inappropriate categorization. I disagree with this assessment. At the moment, we only have one "Molluscs by country" category, but if we had more, it would make sense to create a Category:Molluscs by country, which would be a subcategory of Category:Molluscs, just as Category:Amphibians by country is in Category:Amphibians. Even though we don't have the intervening category Category:Molluscs by country, I think we should still keep Category:Molluscs of New Zealand in the mollusc category structure, and I am going to put it back there. LeSnail 22:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi LeSnail, I absolutely agree with you. Maybe the category 'Molluscs by country' should now be set up - are you interested in doing this, or would you like me to (I have the time just now). GrahamBould 07:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Might I suggest withdrawing the nom? http://www.statesman.com/search/content/region/legislature/stories/12/10/1210rostow.html And might I also suggest waiting more than 3 minutes before trying to delete an article?????? --uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 16:37, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
