Markus Heitz
Apologies. I wrote you a note, but I don't know where it went! The text of the Markus Heitz article that I deleted contained only the following:

Markus Heitz is the bestselling german fantasy author of the "Dwarves" series. The second book of the series is to be released 2010.

I think this will enable you to understand why I deleted it. There is nothing to stop you re-creating it as long as it contains some referenced information and a clear claim of notability. Deb (talk) 11:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the response, Deb. I thought the page had more on it than that (at least I think it did at some point). I can understand why such a small page would get deleted. Perhaps if I have time I'll recreate and actually have useful information on it. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 16:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)


 * There was an image as well, but that was all. There were only ever 2 edits in total. Deb (talk) 11:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Middle-earth Articles.
Hi, I've reset the tense on the Dragon article. Please see project specific guidelines. Thanks Carl Sixsmith (talk) 19:33, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 09:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

GOCEinuse tag
Hi

Can you please ensure you first put the tag on the pages you are currently editing. I have gone to edit four pages now and found you already working on them.

thanks Chaosdruid (talk) 00:44, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. Sorry about that. I've only been using it on relatively high-traffic pages. I'll use it on all pages from now on. Thanks. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 00:49, 11 January 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem :¬)
 * In reality if people are working from the oldest edits then the first ten or so pages will probably be in-use but don't forget they dont come off the list until they have been finished and the copyedit tag removed so any editor starting work will probably click on the first ten or so and its a lot easier if they can see that inuse tag. It's not a roblem with smaller pages as they get done pretty quickly but during previous drives there were plenty of cases where two editors ended up working on the same page.

Elvish languages (Middle-earth)
Hello, I noticed your GOCE tag on it and thought I'd offer you some help should you need further references. I happen to have two or three books of secondary literature at hand that deal with Tolkien's various Elvish languages or with his linguistic background in general. Please give me a shout if you find something that should be clarified. De728631 (talk) 21:56, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi! I'm pretty much doing spelling and grammar fixes, so I'm not really focusing on content. However, I did find one seeming inconsistency that you might be able to help with. In the section on Middle-earth's Philology, there's a sentence suggesting that Pengolodh wrote the Lhammas, but in the Lhammas article, it says it was written by Rúmil. Maybe you know which is correct? Thanks for the offer of help! Spock of Vulcan (talk) 22:12, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, right. That's in fact confusing. In the Philology section it should perhaps better read "...Pengolodh, who is credited with many works, including the Osanwe-kenta and the continuation of the Lhammas." Because if you look at the Rúmil entry you'll find that Pengolodh continued (in Beleriand) what Rúmil had once begun. De728631 (talk) 22:28, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok, that makes sense. I've reworded it now. Thanks for the help! Spock of Vulcan (talk) 22:31, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Kent Hovind
If any edits, even intermediate edits, add unsourced pro-Hovind material or remove sourced material, they may be reverted, in spite of any inuse templates. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:03, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I assure you, I have no desire to make the article more pro-Hovind. I'm just editing for spelling and grammar. So no worries! Spock of Vulcan (talk) 19:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 19:22, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Beam me up Scotty!
Hi Spock, i noticed your username is very similar to Sarek of vulcan, are you an alternate account or is this a coincidence, anyway happy editting and don't worry i spotted two users called doc but no one seems to mind-- Lerd the nerd wiki defender  11:58, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. No, this is not an alternate account. Funny story: When I was making my account, all the names I could think of were taken. Then I was looking at a page history and saw Sarek of Vulcan, so I tried Spock of Vulcan and amazingly it was free! So that account was inspiration for mine. :) Spock of Vulcan (talk) 16:59, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh. That's how I got Sarek originally - I was trying to sign on to BITNET Relay one night and SPOCK was taken. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)


 * It seems T'pau of Vulcan, T'pau and Tpau are available. Much more logical for an admitted lady! - 220.101 User talk:220.101.28.25\ 16:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but I'm a much bigger fan of Spock than I am of T'pau. Anyway, I don't feel the need for my user names' genders to match up with my gender 17:20, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It's only logical to be a bigger fan of Spock than T'Pau. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:22, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha. True indeed. Spock of Vulcan (talk) 17:50, 16 February 2011 (UTC)


 * The logic of your arguments is accepted. Live Long and Prosper! - 220.101 User talk:220.101.28.25\ 17:51, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

News about the leaderboard
Hi Spock, and thank you for all your hard work in the GOCE copy edit drive. I just wanted to let you know that Chaosdruid was not aware that huge articles count for multiple 5000-K articles for the leader board. They edited the article Kutch Gurjar Kashtriya for an incredible 32,711 words, and only counted one 5000-K article. This means that they have now passed you on the leader board, and will be taking the top spot. Sorry for any disappointment this news may hold. Regards, -- Diannaa (Talk) 01:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, good for Chaosdruid. I didn't know that either, but I only did one article that was over 10000 words anyway. As much as I enjoy the competition, I do it for Wikipedia, so I don't mind. :) Spock of Vulcan (talk) 02:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I double checked yours and twelve is correct. You still win the leaderboard category for total words. Congratulations! Barnstars will be sent out in a few days. -- Diannaa (Talk) 02:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

religion of, for and by the people!!
Hey Spock of Vulcan!

I'm reaching out to researchers and writers interested in the emerging, or re-emerging, movements inspired by ancient culture in the areas of religion/theology/mythology/culture...I spare-headed an artistic collaboration between a music professor, rock-vocalist and poet to create a modern multi-media experience of the cathardic journey inspired by ancient pagan poetic traditions; A romance to nature seen as a beautiful, divine and omnipotent woman.

It has singularly been my goal to respect tradition while allowing a free and spontaneous interpretation...I believe the utility of a quasi-rebirth of some aspects of the ancient religious tendancies would be achieved in an increase of tolerance, sympathy, and freedom of expression in our modern discoures on religion...so much needed. Until we have a cultural revolution tantamount to the politcal revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries [aiding the rebirth of a government of, by and for the people] in the area of religion, I will not rest. Until the rebirth of religions which are of, by and for the people, as fluid as art, as deep as mythology and theology and as powerful as culture, I do not believe we will be truly free no matter what economic or political conditions surround us. Democracy without a democratic cultural is as frustrating as it is ineffectual.

If you have a moment could you peruse the poetry project site. http://www.misbeliever.net As you are a worker in these areas, having ebhanced the Wikipedia, the world's greatest encyclopedia, I would be very honored with any remarks or critisms you could offer either me or my collaborators.

thanks much,

sincerely

Survey
Hi Lianne!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:23, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

PS. Feel free to ask me for almost any help (almost in the sense that I consider myself married, but it appears my Wiki Princess is not on any of the many Wikipedia.org/Wikimedia Foundation sites... but you could declare yourself both a WikiPrincess and WikiKnight or Wiki Wizard, etc... another Knight would have to 'save' you to an extent more than I am allowed.)

Merry Meet. Idea for Vulcan Kolinahr Philosophy article
Dear Lady Lianne, Greetings... I am an friendly Wiki Knight wanting to start a Kolinahr philosophy article (from Vulcans like in 'Star Trek' original series film/TV). Earlier I found sites like kolinahru.com, whose code seems like of chivalry/wizards, Jediism. Perhaps there was a deleted article, or perhaps Kohinahr is not as popular, but could work on an article? I do not know about Kolinahr, but WikiKnights are supposed to save WikiPrincesses... I can help you, but must save AthenaO so she comes back, who I request declares a koon-ut-kal-if-fee on me.

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile!
