Could you take a look at the first sentence in this section? It claims that Persians are descendants of some "Aryan tribes" migrating from Central Asia. Sounds like outdated racial theories to me. The same source (Britannica) says Persians are of mixed ancentry, but when I try to add this in people remove it. I don't think this is consistent with WP:NPOV. Could you take a look at this and leave a comment? Thanks, AucamanTalk 06:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Category:Municipalities in SevilleCan you fix the [[Category:Municipalities in Sevilla]] to [[Category:Municipalities in Seville]]? The English name is Seville not Sevilla. Thanks, --Asterion talk to me 22:30, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC) Help for templateHi, this is the ikiroid again, trying to scout out help for Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing systems. I'm looking for anyone who can help contribute to Template:Infobox Writing system. It's an esoteric sort of template, copied from Template:Infobox Language that now needs to be revised for writing system pages. All ideas and comments about it should be directed to Template talk:Infobox Writing system. Contact me with any questions or comments. Thanks!--The ikiroid (talk)(Help Me Improve) 21:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Indigenous?Looking at the question of indigenous peoples is intriguing from a secular point of view, however looking at it from a 'religious' or occupational point of view is something else. Where are Puritans indigenous and how about criminal activities like, drugs dealers, junkies, brothel owners pornographers, insane, etc. A look at the dictionary should confirm that many of the words in current use are really not desirable. E.G. Rape, murder, theft, drugs, war ... religion. Research into crime would reveal a LOT that is not OK with this world. The way I read the Bible there should only be 5000 true 'Christians', for example. Expert, textpert, choking smokers, don't you know the JOKER laughs at you? I'll have a look at the criminology section after this. Ian Chattan 07:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Categories for deletion: Aircraft by countryCould I ask you to look at this one again please? The "Ships by country" category mentioned as a comparison is used to classify ships by the country of their operation. These aircraft categories are not used in this way, they are for the country of original manufacture. I think the change to Aircraft of Foo is going to alter the meaning of the category, i.e. from "Aircraft manufactured in Foo" to "Aircraft used in Foo". This would change the nature of the category entirely, and in many cases mean dozens of additional categories on each article. JW 22:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
