Little grammar note
Hi, I see your great contributions to wiki, but just a note: usually you say something took place in (and not at) a city/country. So the most recent Summer Olympic Games took place in Athens and the next one is going to be in Beijing. Renata 15:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Paul Michel
Hi Mibelz,

I noticed you recently wrote the article about Paul Michel. I just wanted to inform you that you can get more exposure for Germany-related articles by posting them at Portal:Germany/New articles and Portal:Germany/New article announcements. Happy editing.--CarabinieriTTaallkk 22:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Chess bios and Arthur Dake
Thanks for your fine work creating chess bio articles including Arthur Dake. It's very well done. 24.177.112.146 02:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Leon Tuhan-Baranowski
was deleted by way of WP:PROD. But if you have a good source or two, we can undelete it. Looked interesting. Let me know. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Did. I can't read Polish well enough to understand. Let me know if you want to undelete this and take to an AfD. Or better, take it to the Polish noticeboard and show the redlink and the sources to one of the polish sysops (they can read deleted revisions) so they could decide if this is something we ought to even consider keeping. Cheers. - crz crztalk 11:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * It is a pity that you deleted the article on Polish-Belarusian chess player Leon Tuhan-Baranowski only because of your nescience of a language. Mibelz

Hello, I just noticed that you just placed
Samuel Yellin in with a group of Galician Jews and was wondering if you would like to do the same {though not Galacian} with Chaim Gross. Although the article does not mention that he was Jewish, he is [references upon request]. It seemed to me that you would have a better chance than I would of placing him in his proper spot. Oh yes, I was born in 1948 too. A good year. Carptrash 20:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Italian chess players
Hi. With real pleasure I saw your works about early Italian players. Here is a little thing (in Breton language) about Carlo Cozio fron the Breton (Brehoneg) language Wiki. I read English, French and Italian. Yours. Kadbzh.

Categories
Hi Mibelz! As far as I know, there is no need to add a category where there is already a sub-category of it. For example, Iweta Rajlich is already Polish chess players - so you need not add the Chess players category. Happy editing, --Ioannes Pragensis 07:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Mibelz, I wrote the answer on my talk page. Greetings, Honza Ioannes Pragensis 22:08, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Stanisław Lem
Can you please answer the question regarding the use of the categories Galician Jew and Polish Jew on Talk:Stanisław Lem? In the edits, I asked asked to explain these categories on the discussion page, too. You reinstored them without answering the question. -- Zz 15:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Category:Polish Jews and Category:Galician Jews include persons who (or his parents) were born in Poland or Galicia (Austria-Hungary, Poland/Ukraine), and they or their ancestors had affillation with Jewish religion, ethnicity or culture. For example, count Walenty Potocki who converted to Judaism (Ger Tzedek of Vilna) there is in Category:Polish Jews.


 * By the way, Stanisław Lem was an atheist. -- Mibelz 16:20, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Leon
It was deleted per WP:PROD when another user requested it. The same policy provides that upon demand it could be undeleted and submitted to an AfD discussion. Would you like that? - crz crztalk 16:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Arpad Elo
What in the world do you think you are doing there. "Arpad Elo" is the only spelling ever used by anybody for this American professor and chess player, except for some older Wikipedia usage and Wikipedia clones.

If you even want to get a different spelling into the article, please provide a verifiable citation to a reliable source. That spelling was flagged for over a month as needing verification when you started this. So don't even add that if you cannot verify it from a reliable source.

Mibelz, regarding all the renames you have recently done, please take a few minutes to read Naming conventions (use English) (aka, "WP:UE" or "WP:ENGLISH"). Thank you. --StuffOfInterest 18:47, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Discussion about links to ChessWorld.net at WikiProject Chess
Hi, I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chess - you are welcomed to contribute. Greetings, --Ioannes Pragensis 17:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Jerzy Hoffman and Michał Waszyński
I noticed you added Jewish categories to both articles. Do you have any sources for this? I tried a google search but nothing explicit came up. 141.211.122.239 18:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Vilna Gaon
I noticed that you recently moved Vilna Gaon to Gaon of Vilna. Please do not move articles without discussing the move first, especially when the move is unwarranted, as in this case (check Google hits). Thanks, DLand TALK 21:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Jiří Pelikán
Hi Misach, I answered on my discussion page. Greetings, --Ioannes Pragensis 09:19, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi again! Thank you for the articles. I am sorry but I do not know whether the players who emigrated to Argentina were Jewish or not. I think that it is probable, but I am not sure. Best regards, Ioannes Pragensis 22:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Yaacov Bleiman
SECRET WEAPONS MASTER If chess players are always thinking one step ahead of their opponent, surely there must be some practical application for their talents. Israeli IM Yaacov Bleiman, who died last June (i.e. 2004), found one. He spent a decade designing a smart bomb that in 2003 was procured by the Israeli Air Force for its F-16 fighter jets. From "Kadbzh" (Breton Wiki). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.12.215.82 (talk) 18:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC).
