Hello again
Thanks for your message, YM. Hope you are well. I'm finding time for WP again and will see how it goes. All the best. --Jack | talk page 04:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Somerton man death
Heyo, sorry for getting back to you; a combination of work, study and then illness have kept me away from here in recent times. Taman Shud Case has been an interesting article to research and write and I am now helping an Adelaide University led team trying to crack the case. The article was in the middle of an attempt to gain GA status when the above mentioned interruptions occurred. Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of things soon and get the article to FA status (and solve the mystery). --Roisterer (talk) 04:54, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you

FAR
I see that you recently created the page Featured article review/Sheffield/archive1 as a redirect to Featured article review/Sheffield/archive1, but with text on the page following the redirect (which is invisible unless you edit the page). I am confused -- why create two pages and split the text between them? Would it make sense to merge the two pages? --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Philippines article
Can you please unprotect the Philippines article? I think it's a bit unnecessary, especially considering the Michael Jackson article isn't protected in any way. Thank you! Hihellowhatsup (talk) 07:44, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Philippines
Hello, I'm doing a simple replacement task on behalf of WP:WPOOK and I noticed you locked Philippines to sysop editing only. Therefore, I was wondering if you could help by please deleting the Outline of the Philippines link in the See Also section of the page and replace it with at the top of the section. It would be a great help. Highfields (talk, contribs, review) 13:43, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Philippines article; Spanish and Arabic as "Voluntary & Optional Languages"
I think both should be put in the Languages section of the Philippines column, under the heading "Voluntary & Optional Languages" and beneath the Recognized Regional Languages. Right now its all the way at the bottom of the Philippines column as footnotes. I think the change I propose is more appropriate, as both Spanish and Arabic are named in the constitution as promoted on a voluntary and optional basis, and I think any language named in the constitution should be put in the languages section of the column.

KP Main Page
Hi there,

In case you miss it, I've copied the newer draft of the Pietersen lead onto the WT:CRIC discussion - could you take a look (and change it as necessary) and then replace the version in the Main Page queue?

Oh, happy YM day for yesterday!!

 * Well I'm hardly an expert, just a person who did a bit as a student and hadn't come across the Butcher group the other guys being experienced academics and professors but I did come acrooss and write about things that are in the general sphere of things like Quasi-Hopf algebra and Vertex model, in which the studies of Hopf algebras and the like are used to solve lattice models that describe solids, like ice, for instance. Nevertheless the additions that AKNole made by cutting and pasting from the Butcher group stuff about pure maths about graph theory/combinatorics into the Minimal subtraction scheme, which is about doing calculations on particle physics. He copied something apparently about an alternative technique on trees in graph theory instead of using Feynman diagrams, which is an orthodox tool in theoretical physics, into an article about renormalization calculations in physics, which is done in the Feynman way. I don't know/understand if this stuff that he added, which is predated by the MSS is consistent with it, but it's certainly not right to just whack it in like that unless he can explain why it's related (if it is), especially as there was a debate about making things more accessible, as the addition would only confuse people; the vast majority of people who do QFT (which I have taken a course in, although I wouldn't say that I understood it irrespective of the grade I got) and renormalisation calculations including tenured academics at QFT/QCD institutes do not deal with anything beyond the basics of Lie algebra, let alone highly detailed quantum or Hopf algebras. Also his comments on the talk page seem a bit odd in focusing on rather unusual things, and his comments in the first parts show a lack of conviction about some 2nd year maths, while things like Hopf algebras would hardly be taught in 4th year unless a student decided to do a project on it. I don't know about the history to know if there is a motive for deliberate stalking or trolling.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) paid editing=POV 02:25, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Images in Keith Miller
How come the images in the "Early Life" section in Miller seem to have been removed? They are of Keith Truscott and Bill Woodful.  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 08:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I'll keep an eye on him. Do the images get deleted from the appropriate articles now?  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 08:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The bot normally does it but opbviously it is broken  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) paid editing=POV 08:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you block him? As he obviously isn't learning.  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 08:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I would but I'm an involved administrator and I'm not a powerful warlord so I can't break the rules  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) paid editing=POV 01:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes WP AFL isn't very good. Jeff White and Tom Hawkins the other GA's aren't very good players so they don't really interest me. Joel Selwood is good player already and will probably win a Brownlow. I'm guessing AFL isn't you cup of tea even though you live in Adelaide?  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 07:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No I don't like it. There are too many thugs in there like Cousins, Hall and Everitt, although it looks good compared to RL. The athletic standards in AFL are very good but the ball skills are poor or aren't required, especially how some forwards can be considered top quality with a 50% accuracy rate (Tredrea). Especially how "traditionalists" like to criticise teams for passing the ball properly instead of the "classical way" of going for random long balls. Else it will end up like soccer matches between a good and a bad team where the bad team tend to get lots of defenders and block with 7-8 defenders and when the good team's attack ends they do a 50m bomb up to the lone striker; Iraq did that against Spain last week; about 6 defenders, 3 defensive midfielders and one striker, effectively.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) paid editing=POV 07:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * U can Add Dean Solomon to the list. Skills around the ground have improved drastically from past decades although kicking for goal hasn't improved at all really. Peter Hudson probably the best ever shot a goal rarely kicked a proper drop punt but he seemed to get them to go straight, but now emphasis is on kicking the magic goals from the boundary. There is currently a massive difference between Geelong and Melbourne.  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 07:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well there is a big difference although not as much as IND/AUS/RSA down to BANG/ZIM or Brazil/Spain down to Asian teams other than Aus/JPN/KOR. Luckily in football for a bad team can block more easily, after all there is no point in losing 20-4 instead of 2-0. Most of the low teams when they play against Man U, Arsenal etc, they just don't try and are happy to lose 1-0 but in terms of shots at goal it is often about 20-2 or so.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) paid editing=POV 07:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * And Ponting's form is giving me the shits... Hawkins is lucky to be in a side as good as Geelong. The only reason is that Geelong have a week forward link compared to their mids/defenders. Anyone with can review a GA. Some with very little edits review an art which they are a fan of and practically pass it without giving a good review like Philcha. It will be interesting to watch how Australia perform against England A tonight.  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 07:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks, it's fine. I didn't look at the data to begin with but once I did it was patently obvious, although a lot of people who intereacted with it didn't seem to pick it, or if they did, they didn't bat an eyelid. I just mentally factored it in after that; I didn't think a CU would be worth the trouble.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) paid editing=POV 14:39, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Sock?
Separate ping - Sockpuppet_investigations/Vyaghradhataki, is this a problem you have any background with? Strikes me as situation normal for the caste articles, not necessarily socking, but I'm not familiar with the pattern and some of the evidence cited is a little opaque to me.

 * we can have a round table at WP:VIET. Some people are not so shy of talking even though they are in VN. I was told that a Communist policeman/internet monitoring guy turned up to a meetup in VN. LOL. And of course people who lived under the old South Vietnam or their family members have their own opinions. And also, religion can be very polarising in Vietnam, especially when it comes to people suspecting the nationalist loyalty of Catholics.
