"NATO is not the military arm of the European Union."
Why did you point this out? Was there a suggestion that it was? Marnanel 12:43, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Kyle may or may not want you
Not really sure why you linked Kyle on CD's user page. I put that there in reference to something CD had said on some talk page and I thought it was quite funny. So the link, in my opinion, is useless. Wjw 03:11, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

In January you moved War Office to War Office (UK) and turned "War Office" into a disambiguation page. It has been proposed to reverse this change. Please see Talk:War Office (UK) Jooler 23:08, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

In the "New 1st Army" article, for a layman like me, it is hard to understand the word 'accounted' in the sentance: "it accounted for the most Japanese troops during...". Alternative wording would be better. Cheers! CW203.217.78.179 19:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Gazan Casualties number disputed
[] Gazan doctor says death toll inflated. Physician at Gaza's Shifa Hospital tells Italian newspaper regarding number of dead in Israeli offensive "The number of deceased stands at no more than 500 to 600. Most of them are youths between the ages of 17 to 23 who were recruited to the ranks of Hamas, who sent them to the slaughter," AgadaUrbanit (talk) 12:30, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

THE CASUALTIES NUMBERS SHOULD STARTED TO BE CORRECTED, or at least mentioned that informations are not quite sure: A recent article based on the testimony of a Gazan physician says that there were "only" around 500-600 casaulties with MOST of them armed young Hamas fighters.

Gazan doctor says death toll inflated Physician at Gaza's Shifa Hospital tells Italian newspaper number of dead in Israeli offensive 'stands at no more than 500 or 600, most of them youths recruited to Hamas' ranks'

[...] A Tal al-Hawa resident told the newspaper's reporter, "Armed Hamas men sought out a good position for provoking the Israelis. There were mostly teenagers, aged 16 or 17, and armed. They couldn't do a thing against a tank or a jet. They knew they are much weaker, but they fired at our houses so that they could blame Israel for war crimes."

Egyptians
There is a user that continuously vandalizes the article Egyptians by removing the composite picture on top. Please consider restoring this abuse because I've already reverted it twice today. Thanks! -- Ⲗⲁⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲓⲝ [talk]  17:00, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tomtom. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tomtom~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:23, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
