Poetry Project
Glad to see you back. The WikiProject Poetry has recently been flagged as inactive. Perhaps you'd consider joining it? &mdash; Stumps 13:02, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply ... is there any sort of 'to do' list that you have for poetry, that others could help with? &mdash; Stumps 19:49, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hello,
 * Thank you for the correction to the Richard Wilbur article. I was so focused on the placement of birthplace that I missed the 'was' omission. Be healthy. Michael David 13:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Just livened up your page a bit! Arniep 01:31, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello :)
I've been going around places and looking for relatively new users. I can't believe there are some users I've never seen! Welcome and hello :) &mdash; Ilyan  e  p  (Talk)  03:37, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm going to second this. ;) &mdash; Nightst a  llion  (?) 08:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Re:Turkish literature peer review
Hello. I've noticed that you have an interest in literature (specifically, poetry), and that is why I am leaving you a message. I have recently entirely rewritten the Turkish literature article with a view to getting it up to Featured Article status, and have placed the article up for peer review. If you could possibly take the time to look at and review the article, I would greatly appreciate it. If not, thank you for taking the time to read this message. Saposcat 09:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for agreeing to have a look at the article; I greatly appreciate it (especially as it is outside your area—I'm really just looking for a general critical eye from someone who knows literature, of whatever variety, and how a literature article could/should be laid out). Also, I have placed the article up, as a self-nomination, on Wikipedia's good articles section. Thanks again for agreeing to take a look. Saposcat 12:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism and barnstars
I'm glad you appreciated the barnstar, but I didn't give it to you. My account was used by someone else, and you can blame Mozilla for that. I do, however think that you are deserving of a barnstar anyway because of your numerous edits to literary topics. So I shall award you one:

The Original Barnstar

Selig Brodetsky
Hi there. I've only just seen the article you wrote about Selig Brodetsky. I never met him as he died before I was born, but he was my grandfather, so a huge thanks for writing about him. &#91;&#91;User talk:Brodders&#124;Talk to me]] 21:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding so quickly. I don't think I've ever met David, although I knew his grandfather (?) Leon, and his uncle (?) Jonathan (the chess player). Although I've not seen them for many years. I'm afraid that I failed to inherit Selig's academic genes, but I enjoy reading about his life. &#91;&#91;User talk:Brodders&#124;Talk to me]] 22:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

a couple of questions
So I've just joined the WikiProject:Poetry, and I am in the beginning steps of starting a Poetry portal. I see that you are a supporter of poetry, so if you support the creation of such a portal, please vote for it here:. Also, for articles about particular poems, is it Wikipedia policy to have a copy of the poem within the article, or is it considered better to have a link to Wikisource? Thanks alot.

You've been nominated, but there's now some stuff you have to fill out at Requests_for_adminship/Poetlister. Thanks. Stanfor d andson 13:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry your nomination not only didn't go through, but was closed early. :(  Stanfor d andson 02:04, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Po: A bit of advice. If you want you next RfA to succeed, you might have to spend some time on Wikipedia: projects and templates and designing categories and other "process" areas, rather than just on articles. Like you, I prefer to spend 90% of my W-time just on articles so I do not anticipate RfA for myself ever. -- TechsMechs 18:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
