Hi,
i work on a navbox for ways of obtaining science in two related field, scientific method from philosophy of science and dikw pyramid from information science.
i need help of some people like you to finsh this,
Organizing resources so we don't end up both doing the same job seems like a fine idea. I'm better equipped to do biographical pages as opposed to ones on theology. Right now I'm planning to put up pages on Eliot Deutsch, Jean-Louis Michon, Brian Keeble, Jean-Pierre LaFouge, and Joseph Lumbard. At some point I want to expand the pages on William Stoddart and Heinrich Dumoulin. I should mention that I'm going out of the country in a few weeks and so won't be available much after that… Let me know what I can do to help! Temp07 (talk) 13:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, could you please clarify your vote at the Talk:Potential great powers page on Mexico? If you are voting, please put your vote in the Support Removal or Oppose format that the other votes are in. This will help us tally the votes at the end. Thanks! Felipe C.S( talk )17:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Theory of everything. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --McGeddon (talk) 18:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Amazon links
Hi! A suggestion: instead of remedying Amazon links, wouldn't it be better to gather the ISBN-10 code from the Amazon page (or from the URL itself, if identifiable), then remove the link and add the ISBN magic word after the (now unlinked) text, between parenthesis? After all, this way people can have a fair choice of sources for the books they're interested enough in to actually click the link. Beside, those (like me) who do prefer Amazon, can always install the User:Lunchboxhero/monobook.js script, which is referred to whenever one opens the ISBN-linked page. -- alexgieg (talk) 01:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Alex, that's not a half bad idea. It also has the advantage of increasing the 'semanticness' of the markup. I'll have a look at implementing this when I get some free time. Cheers, CmdrObot (talk) 15:15, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Shaykh Abdul Hadi
Hi Alexander,
Regarding my change on the Agueli page if whether or not Agueli was a Maliki. His Shaykh Ilaysh el Kabir was a Maliki, and his father Mohammad Ilaysh, was the head of the Maliki college at the Al Azhar, and also given the title "Restorer of the Maliki faith". Without him, there probably would not have been any Malikis in Egypt or the Western Arab countries. So it leaves little doubt as to whether Agueli was a Maliki or not. But, unfortunately, there is no quote.
Why is it a problem? Either persondata does or does not use the default sort. In anycase it breaks nothing. the higher up the article deafultsort is the better. Why you may ask? Because sometime navboxen or infoboxen have embedded categories. RichFarmbrough, 14:36 27 June2008 (GMT).
SmackBot makes a number of changes that are available to all WP:AWB bots. The issue you raise is related to these, I have posted a bug report on the WP:AWB pages. Regards, RichFarmbrough, 16:47 27 June2008 (GMT).
Notice:
All of your Userboxes should be placed underWikipedia:Userboxes#Gallery and in the sub-article accordingly. Wikipedia categorization isn't reserved for your own personal use, please stop wasting Wikipedia resources. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramu50 (talk • contribs)

Yes, I know he's missing the point of the rules (or maybe just trolling, who knows?). But thanks for your support. Let's just ignore him. :-) -- alexgieg (talk) 10:44, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa.00:24, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zizek Bibliography: deletion of Russia Today publications
Hello Alexander Gieg,
I write to you, because you are mentioned as a participants of the philosophers task force.
I'm editing the Zizek bibliography. Here I also mention the op-ed publications on Russia Today. There is a WP editor who holds the opinion, that these edits violate Wikipedia:RSP. I can't see how this is applicable. You can read my argument here. The editor doesn't respond.
If you have an interest in the subject, I would be happy, if you could contribute your opinion.
If you don't have an interest, maybe you know someone else who might have?
