Spoiler tags
Please note that WP:SPOILER now considers spoiler warnings for film plot summaries to be redundant: "A section header such as "Plot summary," "Detailed summary," or "Synopsis" can be considered a de facto spoiler notice — a synopsis will necessarily describe the entire plot, so there is usually no need to repeat the warning." Thanks. Ward3001 15:31, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Edits to John Franklin
I am puzzled by your edit to the map caption box in the entry on John Franklin. Franklin never made it to the mouth of the Mackenzie RIver, and the statement of distance doesn't seem related to the function of the map's key in any case. I was going to revert it, but seeing your extensive work on WP, I thought I would leave this message in hopes you'd reconsider the edit. Clevelander96 (talk) 11:14, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There wasn't a map in the article I edited. I just copied the map (lock, stock, and barrel) in the Franklin's lost expedition article to the John Franklin article.  If the caption is wrong, feel free to edit it in both articles.  --Work permit (talk) 13:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for getting back to me. The edit showed up after the map was added to the new page; my mistake.  I agree, though, that it is handy to have this map both in the article on Franklin and on his last expedition.  Regards, Clevelander96 (talk) 13:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Richthofen's statistics
Just in case you're still interested in this issue!!

I have just spent a happy hour or two editing the "Flying Ace" article - this strikes me as where your bit about Richthofen's statistics really belongs! Seriously, it may make a very useful addition to this article. Cheers --Soundofmusicals (talk) 00:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

NYC Meetup: June 1, 2008
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Siamese revolution
Thank you Work permit for your message! I do not know the Thai designation for the 1688 Siamese revolution, neither do I know the Siamese date for 1688, but, as far as I know, this is the way this event is designated (and dated) in Western literature, so I would think it is the proper way to designate it (and date it) on the English Wikipedia as well. What do you think? PHG (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Oil shale economics
Hi. Thank you very much for your good edits to the Oil shale economics. Oil shale economics is an one of the oil shale series articles. The purpose is to bring all this series articles to the FA level (currently only the main article Oil shale has FA status and the Oil shale extraction is under FAC review). As you see, the Oil shale economics is still far away from the FA and even GA status. I think that the first target should be the GA status and the FA after that. Unfortunately I am myself a quite "wikitired" at the moment and not very creative for editing this series articles. I also feel that "fresh" editors with fresh look and ideas could be great help for developing this article. Looking your edit history, I am wonder if you may be interested to take a care of bringing the Oil shale economics as also Oil shale reserves to the GA level? I would like apology if this not your area of interest, but I really hope you could assist with these articles. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 15:15, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Actually this article did not got a much attention (well, at least not enough) after spin-off from original Oil shale article. As I said, all fresh ideas are welcome. I don't have a clear view about the structure — probably some restructuring is needed, but I am not sure how. As of reviewers, I personally had a very good experiences with User:4u1e and User:JMiall. There is also list of the peer review volunteers.Beagel (talk) 20:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't understand you mean GA review and not peer review. For the GA review, I recommend to contact user:Johnfos, who is experienced editor of energy-related articles.Beagel (talk) 12:04, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Establishing notability
Hi. With reference to the Belgian politics article IJzerwake, I wonder how notability may be established in the circumstances applying to this case. Belgian national media regularly bring coverage of e.g. IJzerwake's annual mass event etc. (In part based on reprting by the Belgian ofiicial news agency Belga.) These articles may be easily referenced, but are only carried on the media web sites for a couple of days. After that, such links will point to web nirwana. I was wondering whether you might have a suggestion. Currently available pages could also be stored as image or pdf, but then I have doubts about copyright issues.

Thanks for any suggestions (here, on subject or my talk page, ...). My apologies if this isn't the right place for discussing this. --Marc Goossens (talk) 06:19, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your top notch webcite suggestion. And your response within seconds of me posting this question. --Marc Goossens (talk) 07:09, 26 August 2008 (UTC


 * Meanwhile added some references on recent press coverage. Who decides whether this is sufficient to establish notabilty? --Marc Goossens (talk) 08:13, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * And again thanks for your help and suggestions. By the way: your Flemish is quite OK! --Marc Goossens (talk) 15:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, the Hard Hat Riot section in Brennan's article is a near-copy of much the Hard Hat Riot article. I was thinking of simplifying keeping them both in sync by adding a to Brennan's article and cutting most of the detail there. Any thoughts on that? Cheers, CliffC (talk) 03:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Converted to PROD: Irrespectable
Hello Work permit, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged (Irrespectable) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion. The speedy deletion criteria are very narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! Closedmouth (talk) 09:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Johann Stein (?)
Was Stein Austrian or German? Paulatim (talk) 14:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but who is Streicher??Paulatim (talk) 17:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * the Stein family's original name--Work permit (talk) 18:00, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Correct. Streicher confusingly has the same name as his father in law. So the original, which said he was Viennese, was correct, although Streicher was originally from Stuttgart, i.e. was German. Regards Paulatim (talk) 22:05, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, Nanette Streicher (daughter of Johann Stein) was the builder of the pianos. The firm was alternatively known as "Geschwister Stein", "Frere et Soeur Stein",  "Nannette Streicher nee Stein" , and  "Nannette Streicher, geb. Stein und Sohn".  Andreas Stein (her husband) was the businessman.  References and changes to follow--Work permit (talk) 22:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Good. You might find the articles on Nannette Streicher, and on Johann Andreas Streicher on the German Wikipedia useful.  Amazingly Wikipedia, which strives to be so politically correct, has no separate article on Nannette, despite her being a successful and notable teacher, composer, and builder of pianos. Paulatim (talk) 08:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * PS Care required on whether Nannette or her husband sent the piano. The original source was Cooper's recent book on Beethoven which is still there.  The reference implies that it was the husband and you shouldn't keep that if you think it was wrong.  There was no copy of Cooper's book in my local Waterstone's when I went to check.  Alternatively, since they were both friendly with Beethoven, one could say that it was 'the Streichers' that sent the piano.  I will do some more research myself, also.  Paulatim (talk) 08:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * PPS I have pictures of both husband and wife on my talk page. Paulatim (talk) 08:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point. While it was built by Nanette, it was sent by her husband.  I will cite and correct--Work permit (talk) 21:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this, I just wanted to remind you that G4 can only be used when there has been a deletion discussion. In this case, it was deleted the first time via PROD.

Ally McBeal
Hi there. I do own all of the DVDs actually. And I have been working to add new things to the Ally McBeal article, as it was looking a bit dry. I could make a screenshot. How about one from the opening? Unless there is an episode you want in particular. Evil silence (talk) 05:52, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I do actually, it's looking great. Um, I have been trying to find exactly what episode she breathed fire at Ally, and I know it was the second season, but there's alot of episodes to go through. Any ideas? And I have one from the main titles of her, I'll upload it. I'll take a screenshot of her breathing fire as soon as I can find the episode. Evil silence (talk) 06:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so I uploaded the picture and added it to the article. What do you think? I really like that shot of her. Evil silence (talk) 06:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * You are a relatively new user, less then a week on Wikipedia. You had contributions to only two articles and spent most of your time on ANI boards, AFD and the like, flirting with wp:3rr.  I reverted only reversion you made, but you posted a complaint on my talk page for doing so.  I probably didn't give you the benefit of the doubt.  You are well versed in conflict resolution and obviously a quick study on such issues.  My first week, I was struggling to figure out how to add a reference to an article.  I wish you the best--Work permit (talk) 04:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of World domination


The article World domination has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This article is strictly original research. No evidence is given that any of the real historical information is related to the topic of "world domination." No references are given for fictional "world domination", or that it has even been discussed in secondary sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Steve Dufour (talk) 02:16, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Roman salute
WP:RS does not require an inline source to be given for every sentence of an article. Regarding the tags I removed, no one has questioned on the talk page any of those tagged sentences.

Why did you revert?
Why did you revert my edit on Convergence? The version you reverted to contains the phrase "a sequence of which the partial sums have a limit", which doesn't make any sense, and has a link to Convergent series when it should really link to a more general page. You don't appear to be a mathematician, so why do you think you know better than I do what should go in the "Mathematics" section? 216.160.76.121 (talk) 04:55, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
