hi.

Sen Katayama Sorry about the mixups, I was changing one to redirect as you were changing the other, then I reverted my changes as you redirected again. I think it's ok now. -- Armadillo From Hell 00:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

"an young man from Croatia"
Howdy, I just wanted to drop you a note that there are some really nice guys from Croatia on Wikipedia, even if we count me out ;-) Just so you don't get the wrong impression. --Dijxtra 18:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Russian Dolls (series)
Why do you think it says "series" in the brackets!!?? That was belgium tv-series! Check original article before saying something dumb as that. OK?! Luka Jačov 14:16, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Me again! First let me apologise i admite i overreacted. I just couldnt understand somebody would post comment without even looking original article. Why even posting that comment when you didnt check it? Did you hear for proverb "First jump then say hop"? Anyway I am also wondering what do you mean by "young man from Croatia of questionable motives"? Btw. I hoped you enjoyed your stay in Croatia and Slovenia. Regards!

Minnesota
I can see where you are coming form, but I fell things on wikipedia should all look the same and as all the outher countries in the list now are equal and look the same. You sayed people will not know where Faribault is but, for someone that dose not know where it is and that would what to find out all they have to do is hit the Faribault link and they will find out.

What I did was only small but I feel it makes things look nice and neet.

10/10
Please do not repost speedily-deleted material. This is considered vandalism and can lead to you being blocked from editing. This article was previously deleted on April 29th 2006. (aeropagitica) 22:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Two things:


 * 1) I wasn't reposting anything. Someone at the Grinnell College page requested an article for 10/10, so I wrote it.


 * 2) I have read stupid cruft articles about many other colleges and universities, none of which were speedy-deleted, and few of which went through even the normal deletion process.   I don't see why 10/10 should not be given the same treatment -- at least in the form of a AfD hearing/whatever.  Half of the student body attends this party; I think that constitutes notability, or at least merits a hearing.


 * At the very least I would like a copy of the text I wrote. Could you get that for me?  If you give me 15 minutes I am sure I could find several pages from other colleges that are far less notable.  Then I want an AfD hearing.


 * Thank you for writing an accusatory message to me, and thank you for jumping to conclusions about the article. Please contact me through my talk page.  ..Zweifel 02:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)..

It was a repost - the previous version was PRODded on April 29th and deleted on May 4th. Your deleted text is now at User:Zweifel/10/10. Don't repost it and go for an AfD, try a deletion review instead. Justifying the existence of one cruft article on the basis of another isn't a good idea - it's better to demonstrate how it conforms to WP:BIO instead. Lastly, sarcasm doesn't come across too well on-screen; see WP:CIVIL for details of conduct, etiquette and protocol. Regards, (aeropagitica) 07:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Seattle
Hey--I lived most of my life in Seattle, and I can vouch for the fact that it rains plenty during the Summer months. Not as much, no, but it's far from dry.

Anyway, I didn't bite the newcomer: I explained my revert. Thank you for understanding the difference. L Glidewell 07:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: The Transformation of Italian Politics, 1990-1996
I don't think people get in trouble for recreating deleted articles, as long as the content is different/better. I certainly won't try to cause any trouble over it. If you do want to create the article in a week and a half I can take the tag off, I'd just rather it was deleted if it's going to be much longer than that. Good luck on your thesis. -P4k 02:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Heavy-handed reversion in Phở
I realize that addition should ideally have citations, but it's easily substantiated through a little web searching. It's a bit heavy-handed so just say "rvv", which means "revert vandalism". If you have concerns about verifiability, mentioning them in the article or my talk page is much more productive than something which could spark a revert war. &mdash;Dgiest c 07:36, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey man, it's just that the "Phat Phuc Noodle Bar" image is being questioned, and since it is such a perfect image, I wanted to deflect attention from it. I'll make you a deal - we'll restore the "What the pho?" restaurants in two days if you go onto the talk page and vote in support of keeping the image.  Or not.  But come on, help me out!


 * Anyway, uncool thing to do, sorry for that. Zweifel 07:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Hostile Edit Comments
I happened to come across this edit comment on the Operation Wetback article. After reviewing your contributions I noticed several other such hostile edit comments on other pages such as the following   Please refrain from using such commentaries in the future as I and other administrators may regard them as personal attacks and take the propers steps to stop them.

re: Trident Seafoods
Hi There, I notice you have made several edits to this company with negative statements about their business practices. If you want to have those edits remain and not be reverted please provide sources for the statements. I am not saying I disagree with you, just that sources are needed. Comments like these need backing up. Thanks!-- killing sparrows  (chirp!) 22:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It's true. Give me a little while to find some sources, but if I can't, I'll remove them. (Umm, I worked as a temp in the human resources department, so I can personally vouch for both statements, but that violates WP:NOR.) Zweifel 00:06, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * No doubts here. I work for Trident on St Paul Island (I have a pretty easy job and a great boss and we are far away from the Seattle office), but I am certainly no promoter of the company, I just want to see the refs so someone doesn't get pissed about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Killing sparrows (talk • contribs) 00:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

Image:PCI symbol.jpg
Hello Zweifel, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:PCI symbol.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Zweifel/Italy1. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 04:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you create this image ?

common sense, please
Parameters now, again, redirects to parameter, and that is as it should be. I've put a disambiguation notice at the top of the article parameter saying For the journal of the U.S. Army War College, see Parameters (journal). That is what you should have done instead of changing the redirect to point to the article about the journal. Obviously most people who link to parameters will intend the usual meaning of that word, and not the name of the journal. Redirects are supposed to help the reader, not to confuse things. Michael Hardy 20:32, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Point well taken. Though it was over a year ago when I created that page. Zweifel 05:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Stage6
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stage6, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Stage6. Toddst1 (talk) 17:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 02:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Audi Building


The article Audi Building has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Can't find any reliable source mentions of this nickname for the building.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Schlong Island
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Schlong Island, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 23:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Coming to you
Have you tried to conact ConcernedVancouverite? I would actually try that first if you haven't. My issue is labeling that page as vandalism. I think it'd make more sense to take it to WP:RfD instead of speedily delete it. I would recommend taking this up with the user and with the deleting admin (Discospinster). If they don't respond, let me know. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 08:24, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Oh, not much to tell, I'm afraid. I was living in Kiev, teaching English for a while before going to law school, and one morning the water decided to be brown and black.  We realised from its lack of horrid smell that it was not sewage, and figured it must be rust of some sort.  We just let it run for a while until the water was clear again.  But I took a picture and put it up on Wikipedia, because that's what you do!  My brother is impressed that the picture is still up, but recognizes that it is the perfect picture of rusty water.  I'm glad others appreciate it!  Zweifel (talk) 15:21, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
