Undue weight problems on Cyrus Cylinder
I'm unhappy with some of your recent edits on Cyrus Cylinder - please see Talk:Cyrus Cylinder. -- ChrisO (talk) 21:45, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Response: ChrisO has raised an interesting question about whether part of a source can be too recent to prominently include in an article. I partly agreed that it could (see Talk:Cyrus Cylinder) but mentioned complications with excluding it. --Wragge (talk) 03:23, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:53, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Conquer Online


The article Conquer Online has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No signs of notabilty. Lack of reliable 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sir Lothar (talk) 07:08, 4 October 2011 (UTC)


 * This deletion is perfectly reasonable. In fact, I thought it had happened years ago. --Wragge (talk) 13:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.


 * Dark Days in Monkey City (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
 * added links pointing to Vale and Fig Tree


 * Defeasance (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
 * added a link pointing to Prepayment

Humpty Dumpty
You may have forgotten that you created Ipse-dixitism in April 2005. In one of the edit summaries here, you explain your changes as a shift away from a dictionary definition by usage to a definition by example. These words helped to me to look at the subject in a fresh way. You may recall that a link to Humpty Dumpty was first added by you here. I re-added it here. As follow-up, I wonder if you might be willing to review Talk:Ipse dixit#Humpty Dumpty? I wonder how your thinking may have changed since you wrote If you are willing, I would hope to discuss your practical ideas off-line?
 * Ipse-dixitism#Typical causes of ipsedixitisms?
 * Ipse-dixitism#Rhetorical remedies?

Perhaps my understanding of the goals/objectives of Ipse dixit can be helped by a little bit of fine focus adjustment? --Ansei (talk) 18:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:BirthsForOmega.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Disambiguation link notification for April 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Law of primacy in persuasion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Law of primacy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Merge discussion
Hello Wragge,

Where should we take the Distressed securities merge discussion next to get it resolved from an uninvolved admin? I would like an uninvolved third party to determine what steps need to be taken next. I asked user Jonathan A Jones and I also posted a comment to the ANI board for assistance a couple weeks ago but never received a response from either. Thanks in advance for the help! Best, Comatmebro  ~Come at me~ 17:15, 22 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that makes sense; I don't keep current on the policies. Perhaps an expert will know the best, or most compliant, way to arrange this information. Wragge (talk) 17:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Need help
Hello Wragge,

I am trying to locate some literature and maybe you can help. In your edit [] you inserted "Therefore, the early versions of the theorm could make no predictions about the affect on the unskilled labour force in a high income country under trade liberalization. However, more sophisticated models with multiple classes of worker productivity have been shown to produce the Stolper-Samuelson effect within each class of labour". If you can provide me references to "models with multiple classes of worker productivity" I would be much obliged.

Thanks,
