bill krafsur
I wasnt doing anything to make krafsur look bad i simply added him to Wikipedia. Have I done something wrong? Elliot s. has a right to be mad and he is welcome to work on the article but it is up to other wiki mems. to vote whether it should be deleted. i have a feeling his son is being surprised by the "new" information that is coming out about his father. he apparently knew some aspects of his fathers early days but not some of the other stuff. anyway its out of my hands.

 * I've known the son (grandson of Samuel) for a long time. He's known the history of his grandfather, in great detail, for many years.  The only thing he is surprised about is that this slander has managed to reappear after all these years.  This man was blacklisted in the 1950's and this caused the family a great deal of pain and difficulty.  You've opened an old wound with your page.  I don't know what your ulterior motive is with this, but remember that you are hurting real people with your antics.  172.149.168.207 03:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

M N Vijayan
I don't know this is the way to comment or this is the place to reply. However, I hope the editors will be able to see the folloing comments with respect to MN Vijayan article. Please see the link. Kindly see what the leading English newspaper comments about M.N.Vijayan: | Hindu NewsPaper says: When Vijayan Talks intellectual Kerala listens. Here is another ariticle about MN Vijayan. | Second comment about Vijayan. | Here is one more. See at the end the comment by the newspaper about Vijayan. It says : "highly respected left intellectual M N Vijayan ..." One more site with remarks about Vijayan | See this is from some one who works on Linguistic study. It says "The most noted thinker of contemporary Kerala Prof. M.N. Vijayan has commented on Rachana thus..." Thanks for the comment from the editor. Please have a balanced view. Most of the write ups about Vijayan is available in the local language. I can translate and give them, but how do you check the authenticity?

Thanks for the support. I think people can sometimes get a little carried away with the spirit. I once saw someone lecture a newbie by saying "you better learn if you're going to be editing our encyclopedia". That just bothers me to no end. Not that anybody was doing that there, but when I'm on VfD, I usually try to be supersensitive. Roodog2k (talk) 23:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I hope I'm editing this correctly....just a few notes to say thank you for your thoughts. And yes as a newbie I should have better read the rules. I hope to become more a part of the community and follow the guidelines a bit better. Thank you again and have a good day. --Robfdavis1971 19:49, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Sun and planet gear
Thanks Tony, It looks like epicyclic gearing is what developed from the original sun and planet gear, but it may be useful to merge the articles. I'm going to look into it, Thanks for letting me know. AllanHainey 12:31, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Population table
Hi Tony, don't worry - I was borrowing table code from other articles and I reckon I hit "save" instead of "preview". The table's what I want now, anyway! -- Arwel 14:07, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Chuukese language
Hi, I've totally re-written Chuukese language. You may want to reconsider your vote at Articles for deletion/Chuukese language accordingly. Thanks! --Angr/undefined 06:44, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey
I, V. Molotov, hereby give you this Deletionist's Barnstar in regards to you work on VfDs here.



Take care, Molotov (talk)  20:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks :-) I did vote 'Keep" once last week, I think! Tonywalton  | Talk 10:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I missed that one. : ). Molotov (talk)  21:33, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

What I think about what you do...:
Hey! I GIVE A FUCK ON WHAT YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO! 1st: If you block me from editing I'll unblock it! 2nd: It is my right to nominate this page for deletion. YOU ARE NOT THE ONE WHO CAN FORBID IT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.89.66.2 (talk • contribs)

By the way, if you block me, you'll bloch 15.000 other people who use the same server!

Johann Friedrich Böttger
Translation looks pretty good so far, thanks! I might even throw in the end of the article tomorrow, if you don't beat me to it :-) --Magnus Manske 20:38, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Http://capricornwitch.tripod.com
I'm just too good. PS nice pentacle. -- Francs2000 22:47, 21 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I've never let something as small as "someone else did it" stop me taking credit for work... only kidding. Do you think it would be wise to add Category:Wiccan Wikipedians to Category:Pagan Wikipedians by the way? -- Francs2000  22:58, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Ruth Archer
No problem. I had just tried IMDB and only found the production company so (without context) I had no idea that there was actually a series (it being radio). Thanks for letting me know. -WCFrancis 23:51, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * User:81.179.122.95 removed your redirect at 23:50 UTC, right after you left warning on his tallk page. -WCFrancis 23:55, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

What?
You made a language up for deletion but then you try to discredit an obviously real rap group? Your a hypocrite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.204.186 (talk • contribs)
 * I have not the faintest idea what 67.160.204.186 is banging on about here.Presumably the Articles_for_deletion/Anommas_Pooter nonsense, but what the "making up a language for deletion" is about is completely beyond me. Tonywalton  | Talk 11:09, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Denise Ho
a lot of the page is utter trivia, like "favourite perfume" and "favourite holiday" (says new years but doesnt specify chinese or western). most likely copyvio though there is some salvageable stuff. what do you think? translate it all and cleanup, or cleanup as i go? Nateji77 14:06, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * in english here. i curious as to why this got posted on the en wikipedia bu t not the zh. ih well. Nateji77 14:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Denise Ho looks good. i dont think i did much of the work tho. the album pages are still pretty chinese heavy, but a lot of the chinese songs have "official" chinese names. if i translate them myself, rather than finding out what the official names are, we're looking at faux paus of the "zhang ziyi starred in squatting tiger, hidden dragon" variety.

Speedies
Tony, I've been continually cleaning out speedy candidates over the last few days, and I'm very impressed by your tagging. Great work, and also (unlike many others) you seem to have grasped the finer points of WP:CSD. Thanks. --Doc (?) 16:15, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Marcel Sulzberger
Hello,

Regarding your second point (about who recommended the trip to Paris), you are right. It seems like my English failed me there, to be honest, since I intended to write what your current revision says (leaving out exactly who recommended studies with Widor).

About the first point - I'm not sure. I assumed that it means an author writing about music, but you really should ask someone who knows for certain (German is my third language, and I just barely know enough to be of any use with translation work).

Thanks for cleaning up after me.

Thanks, Tony. Sorry for my mistake. Deb 13:35, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have rewritten the article so that it refers to the INXS hit song. I would be grateful if you could have a look. Capitalistroadster 11:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

wikipedians
Hello, i saw you were listed on the List of drug-free Wikipedians, but as one of the funny ones, and i invite you to read this and add your name or something else if you want. You may also want to put your name here: category:wikipedians by fields of interest under drugs/drug addiction. cheers! --Ballchef 13:12, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

That was longer than 5 minutes
Aww, you're no fun. I will give you a shiny nickel if you can prove that anyone would ever need to read about the lowly town of Britton in South Dakota!

Surely vandalism would involve at least SOME brick throwing. Or else it's just not cricket, old chap.


 * To-ny, Ton-y, give me your answer doooo...

Speedy deletions
wi is an established template, and is never to be speedy deleted. --SPUI (talk) 19:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)


 * That is the only use of wi, as the shorter wiktionary is used when there is more to the article. --SPUI (talk) 20:01, 3 November 2005 (UTC)


 * The idea is to prevent a dicdef from being formed by someone typing in the word and saying "hmmm, there's no article here". The following doesn't apply in this case, but often it is a word that is linked from other articles, and having a link to the definition is useful. --SPUI (talk) 20:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
