Worse than watergate
Mercurywoodrose, thanks for your note on my talk page. You were right to not remove my tags without discussion, the general rule is try and discuss the issue raised with the person who placed the tag, and only remove it yourself if the person is unreasonable or unresponsive. As for your edits, your going the right direction. %99 of all problems in wikipedia can be solved with better sourcing, and your doing the right thing by adding independent, third-party sources to the page. Be sure to look at Notability (books) for the guidelines on books as the subject of articles, and dont worry about doing it wrong, as you and I are probably the only ones who care about this page at all. Have fun, and feel free to ask me whatever questions you might have. Bonewah (talk) 21:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Talkback
Hi, I think it is a great idea you are doing general content housekeeping, plus adding research. About the maths, I do not think there is much about it since the maths involved are mainly counting. The interesting side would be language-dependent computational linguistics, I guess, as this game can be played with most languages. The scoring table, which is rather arbitrary, could be backed up by statistics run on medium to large corpora, to find the distribution on length of words. Again you would be aggregating only on 13 categories (1 to 13 length words). Now, if you are really into something weird, you might even consider the cognitive aspect of how people recall long words, or the distribution with which they come up with them. But of course, this is more out of curiosity than for enriching the wiki page.

Geeky answer to a less geeky question, I guess. Consci (talk) 16:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

questions about List of small presses
Hi and thanks for writing, I was editing poetry and related lists for a long time. I believe my rationale for List of Publishers was that even though there was no article to some of the red links, I actually searched them out on the WWWeb and found legitimate articles or websites which proved their notability etc. So instead of re-writing them and placing an article on Wikipedia, I put the web link on the (dead article) red link and had it show up as a active blue link, so at least researcers could find them and read about them. This was done on a few other "Lists" as well. Unfortunately, I thik a lot of the dead link entries are a one time thing by Users who originally did not know the system and have not returned to check up on their entries. Don't be too harsh on your editing, the main purpose here is to expand the knowledge of the world, so every little bit helps. Thanks again. WayneRay (talk) 11:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Tagging for speedy deletion
Hi Mercurywoodrose. Thank you for your work on patrolling pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I just wanted to inform you that I declined to delete Muscle-back iron, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion without specifying a criterion for speedy deletion because of the following concern: Remember that only pages which are covered by a valid criterion for speedy deletion can be speedy deleted. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion and especially what is considered Non-criteria. In future you should rather tag such pages for proposed deletion or start an appropriate deletion discussion. Regards  So Why  19:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Just a quick question...
Hi, Mercurywoodrose. I noticed that you moved this name onto the requested bios page. Sounded to me like a fascinating subject for a quick article -- but, unfortunately, my search has found no sources for her or anything mentioned in the description. Were you moving this from another Wikipedia page or do you know of any references for this person? At the moment, it appears suspiciously like a hoax. — Cactus Writer |   needles  20:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. I think I'll delete it as a hoax -- "the most influential female athlete of all time" would likely be mentioned somewhere on the internet. Cheers. — Cactus Writer |   needles  20:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Taormina Film Fest
Ok. It's possible that my english seems "macheronic english", don't worry make your corrections. --Kasper2006 (talk) 04:33, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Phoebe
Don't know, but I think you're right. I deleted because it was a dead link; nothing there. Note that Evergreen Review is quite active as a website with archived articles. Pepso2 (talk) 11:17, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Spelling numbers
The lead of 200 (number) is about the number 200, so I don't see how consistency requires spelling out 199 and 201 just because 200 is spelled out. It appears annoying to read for me. Listing alternative names of the subject in the opening sentence of an article is common, and spelling 200 can be seen as a case of that. I suggest all the spellings of other numbers than the article name are reverted. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry; I reverted a number of your spelling sets. Please see Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Numbers for more discussion.  I would have no objection to spelling out numbers 20 or less, as the correct English spelling is unique.  When you get up to 21, the possibilities include twenty-one (my preference), twentyone, and twenty one.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 02:26, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Neuroconstructivism
In April you wrote wrote "add ref-rewrite to follow". Do you have a draft of that rewrite? Neuroconstructivism really needs a rewrite. Perhaps I could help finish the draft, if you're short of time? Eubulides (talk) 20:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Mulato (disambiguation)
I noticed that you added an entry for mulatto on mulato (disambiguation). I didn't add mulatto because "mulato" already redirects there, so the only way someone would likely get to mulato (disambiguation) is after having come from mulatto, and I added a hidden comment to that point. I'm not sure what the best solution is per MOS:DAB, since "mulato" is not the preferred spelling for the primary topic, but I'll give it a stab. ENeville (talk) 18:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

TSAR Publications
Thanks for your message on my talk page. I've had a quick look and think you did a wonderful job. There's nothing that comes to mind right now in terms of improvements, but I'll certainly keep the article in mind. Congratulations on such good work! Victoriagirl (talk) 02:39, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Heh, thanks for the signing. :) And also some bit of irony, I came across another article a second time via random button - though for some reason I didn't take note of it. :( Ah well. Cheers! - Warthog Demon  21:21, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

thanks
thanks for the positive feedback on the new article, Case management (mental health) how did you find it so quickly? Earlypsychosis (talk) 05:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Your eye if you would....
When you opined at AfD, the article in question looked like this The article mow looks like THIS. I am writing to ask how else your concerns might be met? Thank you,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 08:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Your reply was quite grascious. I will continue to improve the article.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks For That Comment!
I could use all the support I could get. I just wanted some attention. I never knew that it could cause this much trouble. Say... where can I put info about my novel? Do I have to make a The War Amongst the States wiki, or start a new website or something? Tell me on my talk page. Typingwestern015 (talk) 02:55, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
