FL vs Fla
Twalls, while "Fla" is a correct abbreviation of "Florida" and I see no need to revert your revision, I wouldn't agree that "Fla" is the correct abbreviation of "Florida." "FL" is the standard abbreviation used by the US Postal Service, and as such is used just as commonly (or more commonly than) "Fla." Both are standard acceptable usage. Buddhagazelle 03:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC) (Go Gators!)


 * Hello, Buddhagazelle. Thanks for your comment. According to the AP stylebook and the Chicago Manual of style, traditional state abbreviations should be used in text, not the postal ones. Those are for addressing postcards and letters, and for various computer programs. The USPS even makes the distinction, as I've even more than one modern Post Office in Florida with "City name, Fla." written on the outside of the building. See you around. Twalls 04:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hm. I can't find anything in Manual of Style that refers to this issue.  Only here: Manual of Style (abbreviations), that one should spell out the name of a state in the article rather than abbreviating it.  So as the Wikipedia Manual of Style doesn't prefer one system of abbreviation over another (Wikipedia does not adhere to Chicago, AP, or any other external stylebook), I'd be inclined to maintain that both versions are acceptable.  They're both commonly used.  Pardon my quibble, though-- I'm more intellectually interested in this than actually concerned about it.  Later. Buddhagazelle 18:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

De nada - I liked your improvements on the Guanches page by the way, keep it up. :) --Khoikhoi 23:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact
Please do not mark your major edits as "minor", as you did with Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. -- Petri Krohn 15:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I think what happened was I may have made the larger edit, and then made a minor edit, then reverted to the previous version, marking the reversion as such. I know the difference between a major and a minor edit. Twalls 16:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Models of Migration to the New World
Dear Twalls: I am glad you found the points I made of interest - but I am a bit puzzled about the mention of a "copper boat". I did mention that the Tlingit people say they originally came from Copper River - but not in a copper boat. They did, however, gather "native copper" and fashion it into big plaques that were often painted and given away at potlatches. I have also posted this message on the Discussion page of the Models of Migration to the New World article John Hill 00:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello - I noticed you have made several comments to talk:212.98.201.1 and have made some minor translations. Can you look at the Karakul page?

Impact Event studies
Evidence for an extraterrestrial impact 12,900 years ago that contributed to the megafaunal extinctions and the Younger Dryas cooling

Multi-institutional 26-member team of researchers propose a startling new theory: that an extraterrestrial impact, possibly a comet, set off a 1,000-year-long cold spell and wiped out or fragmented the prehistoric Clovis culture and a variety of animal genera across North America almost 13,000 years ago.

Warning vandals
Hello Twalls.

I noticed that you revert a good amount of vandalism. Thank you for helping keep Wikipedia the best encyclopedia in the world!

However, I have noticed that you do not always leave warnings on the vandals talk pages. You should always leave an appropriate warning after reverting vandalism. (The full list of talk page warnings may be found here, along with some suggestions and guidelines for using them.)

Be sure to leave the correct level of warning, and if the vandal has been warned four times in the last month, (Check the vandal's talk page history. Some vandals remove warnings from their talk pages.) report the vandal by going to this page and following the instructions.

Thank you again, and may the vandals fail... J.d ela noy gabs adds 17:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the warnings are for the vandals to read, but they are also used by admins to decide whether or not to block the IP or user. A vandal has to be warned at least once before they can be blocked.
 * Also, if you want to fight vandalism with an automatic tool, an excellent choice would be Twinkle. This tool can revert vandalism, warn vandals, file reports on WP:AIV, tag pages for speedy deletion, and do many other tasks automatically. There are other tools available, but most require an application to use them, so Twinkle would probably be best. J.d ela noy gabs adds  17:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll try it. Twalls (talk) 18:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Wahhabism
I noticed your interest in the Wahhabism article on the talk page. I was wondering if you could "referee" things over there. There is a specific editor whom i've interacted with over the past few months and who has become more and more belligerent over editing disputes. I'm hoping a third party might help things from getting out of hand, as i'm getting a bit tired of the constant personal attacks over simple editing disputes. Any help would be much appreciated.

The Smart Alec reference on the Killer Poke page was broke while the language was made more formal. Is there a more general alternative? VinCBR900 (talk) 19:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Clovis Solutrean hypothesis
I am new to this site and have not done that much editing. I came across a article backed by the University of Texas Austin that I would like to include in Solutrean hypothesis but would like to get your opinion if it should be included and where? I am going to take some quotes from this article and provide the link so you may read the whole thing if you wish on a skull that was found near Mexico City in 1959. I think this is worth adding to the Solutrean hypothesis as it adds more evidence to this hypothesis. "However, the most intriguing aspect of the skull is that it is long and narrow and typically Caucasian in appearance, like the heads of white, western Europeans today. Modern-day native Americans, however, have short, wide skulls that are typical of their Mongoloid ancestors who are known to have crossed into America from Asia on an ice-age land bridge that had formed across the Bering Strait.

The extreme age of Peñon woman suggests two scenarios. Either there was a much earlier migration of Caucasian-like people with long, narrow skulls across the Bering Strait and that these people were later replaced by a subsequent migration of Mongoloid people. Alternatively, and more controversially, a group of Stone Age people from Europe made the perilous sea journey across the Atlantic Ocean many thousands of years before Columbus or the Vikings."

"Silvia Gonzalez, a Mexican-born archaeologist working at John Moores University and the leader of the research team, accepted yesterday that her discovery lends weight to the highly contentious idea that the first Americans may have actually been Europeans. "At the moment it points to that as being likely. They were definitely not Mongoloid in appearance. They were from somewhere else. As to whether they were European, at this point in time we cannot say 'no'," Dr. Gonzalez said."

"The findings have a resonance with the skull and skeleton of Kennewick man, who was unearthed in 1996 in the Columbia River at the town of Kennewick in Washington state. The skull, estimated to be 8,400 years old, is also long and narrow and typically Caucasian."

""My research could have implications for the ancient burial rights of North American Indians because it's quite possible that dolichocephalic man existed in North America well before the native Indians," she said. But even more controversial is the suggestion that Peñon woman could be a descendant of Stone Age Europeans who had crossed the ice-fringed Atlantic some 15,000 or 20,000 years ago.

This theory first surfaced when archaeologists found flint blades and spear points in America that bore a remarkable similarity to those fashioned by the Solutrean people of south-western France who lived about 20,000 years ago, when the ice age was at its most extreme. The Solutreans were the technologists of their day, inventing such things as the eyed needle and the heat treatment of flint to make it easier to flake into tools. They also built boats and fished." http://www.utexas.edu/courses/stross/ant322m_files/1stpersons.htm  Oak999 (talk) 19:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome! Well, I am familiar with the articles hosted on that course materials page. Although they are certainly part of a larger discussion on migration to the Americas (see Models of migration to the New World), I'm not sure the Solutrean hypothesis article would be improved by incorporating the material there, because it is chiefly concerned with the hypothesis by Stanford and Bradley and their predecessors that draws upon similarities in the tool complexes as well as a description of a hypothetical transatlantic route. Peñon woman, Kennewick man and Luzia certainly open up some larger questions, but I don't see that a direct connection to the Solutrean hypothesis itself has been established. It is probably best to keep a sharper focus and stick to primary sources or as close as possible. Of course, that doesn't preclude new discoveries supporting the hypothesis being added in the future. Thanks, and let's continue the interchange. Twalls (talk) 14:37, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Pre-Siberian American Aborigines
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Pre-Siberian American Aborigines. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Pre-Siberian American Aborigines. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Abbreviation for Florida
Please be aware that the abbreviations for all US states are all two letters. In the case of Florida, it is "FL". Thanks. Student7 (talk) 22:20, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * No, you are referring to the US Postal abbreviations. The traditional abbreviation for Florida is Fla., and according to AP Stylebook and other manuals of style, Fla. is the correct one to use in text (i.e. when not addressing a postcard or letter, or a database which uses two-letter codes).

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:29, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ivan Osorio


A tag has been placed on Ivan Osorio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.
