re:Squat effect
Hi, I had actually never heard of this phenomenon until you mentioned it, but it seems interesting. I found a good source from the US Coast Guard and added that information to the article. I'll look a little more and see what I can find. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 21:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. I came across another source that better describes the actual process that occurs in the effect, as well as another incident it was known to have played a role in. On a side note, I looked to see if there were any articles about the two ships involved, but there aren't any. I'm thinking of creating them, and if you're so inclined to help look for more sources, I'd greatly be greatly appeciative. All I've got at the moment is the specs for the ships from the collision report. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 21:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Otis F-94C Disappearance Proof?
Well I hit the jackpot concerning a somewhat more reliable source for the page. Apparently it was on Google Books this whole time. Look on the top of page 191 and tell me what you think of the argument. Although it really does not help that the reference for the investigation is not available online.

 * Actually I didn't know that you weren't using that book when you were talking about it. User:Parsecboy said that you and the person who nominated it were the ones I should contact concerning what I found. What were you refering to when you made that comment on the delation page? Anyways, it seemes like it got high reviews from non UFO (or what at least looked like it) related reviewers, i.e. the Sunday Times. The Wall Street Journal probaly doesn't help my argument but it does make it seem good. Oh well you could be right so i'll leave it at that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ktr101 (talk • contribs) 01:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

It looks like this is all wrapped up for now. Happy editing. -- Gwguffey (talk) 13:52, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

re: Marie-Louise O'Murphy
Hi Roregan. I just reverted the article to the last grammatically correct version. Here's how to do it with the normal "undo" tool: click on the history tab at the top of the page, and then select the version of the article to which you are reverting (with the first column of buttons) and leave the second column on the current version. Then hit the "compare selected versions" button, and it'll show you the differences between the revisions, with (undo) button. Just click the undo button, and then just save it like you would normally. You can revert multiple edits at a time by selecting more than one revision. I hope I explained that clearly, if not, just let me know and I'll try again. Parsecboy (talk) 22:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Tom Bettag
The principle here is that on Wikipedia nothing is easier than creating an entry for any person, idea, place, or whatever, no matter how obscure. Since Bettag has no entry here, I didn't think he counted as notable. Your argument is compelling, however. I urge you to create an entry for him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyte35 (talk • contribs) 05:19, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

re: Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism
The deletion of Phil Scheffler on the notable alumni list is the same principle as with Tom Bettag. Since Scheffler has no entry here, I didn't think he counted as notable. And a notable list without links is not terribly useful. It has nothing to do with the relative importance of the individual in the world, it's only about how useful the information is within the entry. Again, if you think Phil Scheffler is a notable figure, I urge you to create an entry for him.Flyte35 (talk) 00:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Hello again, you might want to have a look at my talk page for the continuing, belabored discussion of this topic. :-) MarmadukePercy (talk) 15:22, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, when i stumbled on the Chancellor Award, I thought that might do it. :-) Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 19:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, I've made further revisions to the piece, but from here on out someone else will have to do the work. I find working on this particular article onerous, given our friend's attitude. MarmadukePercy (talk) 17:16, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Question
Almost two years ago, you participated in the deletion discussion of the Otis AFB F-94C Disappearance page here. I've finally gotten around to fixing it to something worth while, so I was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at it here before I upload it to the main space. Thanks.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:26, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Notice of DRN Discussion; Help?
Hi there!

I'm Zaldax, a volunteer at the Dispute Resolution Notice Board. Recently, a request was filed regarding the article Mixed-breed dog, specifically regarding the choice of photo to illustrate Pariah dog characteristics. One of the parties supports using a photograph of an Indian pariah dog to illustrate such characteristics, the other party tentatively supports the continued use of your image PariahDog.png

Both parties are in agreement that compromise is possible, and during the discussion the dog pictured in PariahDog.png was mentioned as a possible compromise. To quote one of the editors:


 * "I thought of another compromise. Can the artist who took PariahDog.png be found? Is the dog in PariahDog.png still alive and available to him/her? If s/he could take another picture of the same dog that is more encyclopedic and then we could see if it really does conform to and illustrate the physical features of the pariah type, that'd be fine with me. The problem is, while PariahDog.png might be a very cute picture in some ways, it doesn't serve the function of illustrating the pariah type. The reason has to do with the composition and angles of the picture; we don't get a really good look at the dog."

If this is at all possible, it would both solve the dispute as well as greatly improve two articles. If you don't mind, could you head over to the DRN thread and give your two cents? Thanks!

Cheers, Zaldax (talk) 16:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Mixed breed dog
Thank you for your help. You seem to be knowledgable about mixed breed dogs and familiar with the article Mixed breed dog. Are you interested in working with us on improving that article? There are several talk page sections that could be responded to, and, needless to say, feel free to edit. Chrisrus (talk) 03:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Codfish aristocracy


The article Codfish aristocracy has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unsourced stub that is little better than a WP:DICDEF"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
