Fate Is the Hunter
You recently changed a link on the Rod Taylor (actor) page (from Fate Is the Hunter to Fate is the Hunter), stating that the change represented the "correct" title. Could you tell me your source? Thanks! Alan smithee 04:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it comes from 2 things: 1) the version with "Is" capitalized is a redirect to the version with "is" in lower case in wikipedia.  and 2) words like "is" in titles are not usually capitalized.  However, upon further research, I found that imdb.com lists the film with "Is", as do some other sources (from google), but not all.  So I would say that "Is" is (I sound like Bill Clinton) probably correct, even though it conflicts with my understanding of standard English syntax. --rogerd 06:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I added a move request so the "Is" version would be primary and "is" would be a redirect. As for English usage, most style guides capitalize "Is" &#8211; it's not the length of the word, but the part of speech (etc.)  For example, the Chicago Manual of Style (7.127 (Titles of Works &#8211; Capitalization)) says that every word in a title has its first letter capitalized except for articles, coordinating conjunctions, prepositions, and the 'to' in infinitives, except for the first and last words of titles and subtitles (which always begin with a capital letter).

Nighclub music
Hello, I need the support of a WP administrator becouse a couple of guys are harrassing me. I'm trying to fix the inconsistency and lack of logic of many articles in the "music genre" cathegory. A user, despite the fact that I'm wworking on 2 articles at the same time having put the inuse template, Housemusic and Club music is reverting my edit endlessly.Brian W 02:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your suggestion.Brian W 15:59, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

User:132.241.246.111 (Grazon)
132.241.246.111 (suspected to be a sockpuppet of Grazon) has been repeatedly inserting uncited, unsourced, and often provably wrong, accusations about various persons on List of virgins. He doesn't use the discussion page, and his only edit summaries are non-sequiturs (such as "It would") or pointless rationalizations for his reverts ("Hoover&Mehlman are ultra religious&never married"). He also made a personal attack on 64.230.36.236: "she's a virgin just like you". Since you've dealt with him before, perhaps you can do something? He's making these edits under both "Grazon" and "132.241.246.111". wikipediatrix 00:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Favorite Songs
My survey has changed. I am now continuing my mission for the best songs, but now I am accepting all genres. I'm giving you a chance to revote for your top ten favorite songs of any genres (not just classic rock which is still the best). I've made a executive decision to keep the existing survey results and just add on to that with the new entries. My feeling for doing this is because classic rock is the most influential genre in music currently so it should be expressed more in the survey. Thank you for contributing in the past, and hopefully in the future. ROCK ON. RENTASTRAWBERRY  FOR LET?   röck  03:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Image:H19 Showing Engine.jpg
Hi Rogerd, im just working on a german articel about the Wright R-1300. I suggest that the engine in the H-19 should be a R-1300. You wrote R-1340 instead. Is this truth? Did i mess up something? -- Stahlkocher 16:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You are correct. According to USAF Museum page about this aircraft it is an Wright R-1300-3 of 700 hp.  Thanks for pointing out my error.  --rogerd 16:41, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, there does not seem to be an article in the english wikipedia about the R-1300. Could you translate it to english when you are done?  Thanks.  --rogerd 16:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I wrote the articel, please have a look. I will upload the german one tomorrow, because a friend is validating it. If he founds an error i will correct this articel too. Thanks for you assictance. If you have ane questions concerning german aviation, do not hessitate to ask at de:Portal:Luftfahrt. Broken English spoken perfectly ;-) -- Stahlkocher 17:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I don't speak German, but I think you are saying that the 1300 is a 2600 with only one row of cylinders.  Sometimes in English it is written as a "bank" of cylinders.  I assume your friend is going to finish translating it into English.  I can convert to United States customary units, and since the article is about a U.S. made product, I will list the the U.S. units first.  --rogerd 20:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Gordon Cooper
I reverted your edit to Gordon Cooper because you deleted more than half of the content of the page when you made your change using popups. I'm 99% sure it's a completely unintentional mistake, so this is just a reminder to check the preview first before hitting 'save.' Thanks - BaseballBaby 03:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. I was doing a lot of disambiguation with popups, I hope there isn't a bug that messed up other pages I was working on.  I tried it again (did the exact same thing) and it worked fine this time.  Go figure.  --rogerd 03:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Adolph Rupp
I haven't seen the movie either, and admit that passage gave me some pause (I almost wrote "his life"), so figured "career" was a compromise, not intending it to be necessarily literal, and figured someone could come along and tweak it (which, in a sense, you did). That's why WP is collaborative, I guess. Thanks for pointing that out; I've since fixed it.

And btw, despite your request on your page for visitors to sign their posts, you neglected to do so on my mine (D'Oh!) :-) Nightscream 05:39, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Editing
Hey there. I saw this yesterday;

"Aunt Bee falls for the sales pitch of a fast-talking medicine man (who is really a con) and his "Indian Elixir", which is really 85% alcohol! Aunt Bee has the women of the church's ladies' group to come over and indulge in the "elixir", which produces hilarious results!"

Granted, I know nothing about the show, but it seemed to me that there was something wrong with it, plus I haven't seen exclamation marks used widely in Wikipedia. Thanks for notifying me, I think I just screwed up eh? ;P Kedi the tramp 07:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Air transports of Heads of State (UK split)
Hi. Thanks for your comments, I just wanted to give you my perspective. I don't think all the information would fit well at No. 32 Squdron RAF for a couple of reasons.
 * It's primary function is support of the military, with VIP roles secondary.
 * The VIP role is very much a footnote of the squadron's history. It fought in the Battle of Britain, North Africa, Italy and Greece during World War II. It got its VIP role in February 1969 and merged with the Queen's Flight in 1995.
 * The air transport of the Royal family and executive of the UK is undertaken by the squadron but also by chartered planes (most often BA 777s) and even commerical flights. Regards Mark83 10:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

hello
Hi,

This person 68.127.150.215 keeps on writing personal comments on in the Muzaffarabad article, as well as in Lashkar-e-Toiba. I deleted yesterday comments he wrote, but he wrote them again today, so I deleted it again. He wrote other stuff as well on the latter article, but other people have been deleting it. Since I am not an admin. and you are, could you just warn him about vandalism, and what it is?

Thanks,

"Horribly obnoxious"...
Sweet Roger, thank you so much for your beautiful words - as usual, you're always there to support me... but what else can I expect from my older wiki-brother? ;) Seriously, hun, I wasn't sad, I merely was upset at the comment this person expressed on IRC. Unfortunately, it wasn't the first time I was criticized for my choice of words at the list of Missing Friends I have at my userpage, so that's why I'm not sure to keep it (few people realize they are adapted from a quote by Pope Benedict XVI regarding friendship). I know I am a tad too emotional by many people's standards, and that it's impossible to please everybody, so I'll just let the matter rest for a while and think what to do. Btw, I'm about to go on a very short vacation, so in case I don't see you before I go, have a great weekend, and I hope you're enjoying the summer! :) Take good care, my dear Roger, and my usual big hugs to you.

RE: Thanks
Dear rogerd:

Please accept my thanks for your labors cleaning up my failed attemtp to create two references during a revision to the entry for 'Jay Mariotti'. (Though I believe you were using the name 'Geffb' at the time.)

David Peterson 02:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC) (Chicago)


 * That wasn't me. I have never used any other id besides this one to edit on wikipedia.  The only connection I have to User:Geffb is that I welcomed him back in January when he first edited under this name.  What you are implying is called sock puppetry, and it is frowned upon here, and I certainly don't appreciate being accused of it.  You are a fairly new user here, so I will consider this accusation to be an innocent mistake on your part.

RE: Quick Note for the Record
Dear rogerd:

No allegation of "sockpuppeting" was made toward you. I was trying to thank the invidual who corrected my errors (i.e., I couldn't figure out how to work the References command) for a revision I had introduced to an previous entry. So I checked the user-name of the person who made the correction, in the hope of thanking him. But somehow wound up on your user-talk page. Probably mistaking a comment by you for the other person.

Sockpuppeting is a problem, no doubt about it. But has nothing to do with my attempt to thank the person who corrected my error.

Is the Indy 500 the largest one day sporting event?
This may just be a misunderstanding on my part, but surely the 1.1 to 1.6 billion estimated television audience for the 2002 World Cup Final (soccer) dwarfs the Indy 500? Maybe you don't count that as a one day event? Where do you get your source concerning this? I have found others which don't seem to include it at all as one of the biggest sporting events;

http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=34780

This article, based on worldwide TV figures in 2005, cites the Super Bowl (a one day event) as the biggest (93 million) followed by the Champions League Final (73 million) and then by the Canadian Grand Prix (53 million).

The 2004 television figures (without a World Cup Final) are as follows;

1. Football: Euro 2004 final Portugal v Greece 153 million 2. Olympic Games: opening ceremony 127 million 3. Olympic Games: closing ceremony 96 million 4. American football: Super Bowl 95 million 5. Olympic Games: men's 100m metres 87 million 6. Olympic Games: men's 200m freestyle swimming 66 million 7. Formula one: Monaco grand prix 59 million 8. Football: Champions League final Porto v Monaco 56 million 9. Basketball: NBA finals 25 million 10.= Tennis: Wimbledon women's singles final 21 million 10.= Tennis: Wimbledon men's singles final 21 million 12. Cycling: Tour de France final stage 16 million 13.= Football: FA Cup final Millwall v Man Utd 9 million 13.= Horseracing: Grand National 9 million 15. Rowing: University Boat Race 5 million

There is no mention of the Indy 500.

In fact, although no ball was kicked, 350 million watched the draw for the World Cup!

http://www.kirkdorffer.com/ontheroadto2008/2005/12/biggest-sporting-event-in-world.shtml

Although I don't doubt the interest the Indy 500 generates (otherwise I wouldn't have read the article!) I have to admit to doubt concerning your figures. If the SuperBowl generates 93 million viewers (98% of whom are from North America) how could the Indy 500 - which arguably (I admit I have no proof of this) generates less worldwide interest - draw in 320 million? If we were to apply the same percentage of the makeup of the worldwide TV audience as the SuperBowl, that would mean that EVERYBODY in the USA (pop. 290 million) and Canada (pop. 30 million) watches the Indy 500! One month old babies included!

On the other hand you can show me proof of what you say, I'll go to bed this evening quite happy in having learned something I didn't know. Your sincerely,
