Plastic Bertrand photoThanks for finding that. It makes the DYK look a lot better. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 22:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC) Here's something for you...
ChippyThanks for that link. I've discovered today that his real name appears to be Henry McNish after all, so I've moved the article. (The British Antarctic Survey changed the name of island named in his honour from "McNeish Island" to "McNish Island" after they were presented with his birth certificate, so that's a pretty good pointer). I've discovered a campaign to have him awarded the Polar Medal, so I've added that too. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 14:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC) Millwall brick - translationWell, in my user page I wrote about translations from English to Italian... anyway, here you are. I just translated the first chapter, the second one doesn't tell anything interesting about this "tool". Of course it needs some corrections, but I hope it can be useful for you. I see him passing by on my side as we walk again towards the square. With staring eyes and a newspaper roll in his fist, Vasquez doesn't even notice me. A cry in the ears, and I get his attention. "Zani, have you seen? Victory!" I shake my head. "Well, victory..." "What? There were lots of people, in the end we were about 10.000, they had to take away the fascists by bus, to Granarolo, where milk and soft cheeses are produced, and you don't call it victory?" "Yes, yes, ok" - I close the discussion with a hand gesture - "you're right - victory." "But what is wrong with you? Are you depressed again? Zani, collect yourself!" He touches my head softly with a paper truncheon that he grips in his hands. Softly, yes, but it seems that he has hurt me with an iron club. "What the fuck is that?" "This? You don't know this?" "Should I?" He beats the palm of his hand looking like a connoisseur. "This is a piece of the British support history! It's called "Millwall brick", because it has been invented by the supporters of Millwall, a very poor London football club, but with really pissed off hooligans. They entered the stadium with a newspaper, ok? The police let they in, easily, then they opened the paper, they rolled it well on the long side, they bent it and.. voilà, something that you can break somebody's head with." I'm impressed, the result is a light thing which is heavy as stone at the same time. "Congratulation, Vasquez, the best thing that you can do with the press. I was told that if you stack newspapers well, tight tight, you can even manage to derail a train. Now that I've seen such a thing, I could easily believe it." "You're kidding? Pressed paper is one of the hardest materials!" "By the way, have you finally found the article about the guy from Romagna in Indochina?" He beats with the Millwall brick the palm of his hand twice again, this time thoughtful. Then he stops suddenly, stares at it for a while, opens it and unrolls it. "You see", says he to me without lifting his eyes, pressing the paper between both hands "I felt that we would meet, today..." "You felt it? Here, amid thousands of people?" "Zani, what do you want that I say? I felt it, if I'm telling you that I felt it... and in fact I brought you the article, then you know, the police, the brawl, I wanted to show to a girl this Millwall brick, I was a while abstracted... anyway, here you are, look, it should be still readable, it didn't get torn, right?" --Wiskandar 17:20, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Harriet PowersThanks for fleshing out the article.

Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 02:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC) Edit SummariesWhen editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Cbrown1023 04:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
List of California agenciesHi Jreferee. I see that you found my abortive attempt to create a List of California state agencies. Feel free to salvage whatever you can from that page for the new article you created. Mike Dillon 16:29, 19 November 2006 (UTC) Translation requestHi Jreferee, I've translated Gustav von Schönberg from de:wiki per your request. I hope it's helpful - I'd be grateful if you'd look over the article and let me know if I've made any mistakes. Best wishes, --YFB ¿ 02:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
ThanksThanks for putting the revision in after my response. --Milo H Minderbinder 15:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC) Gustav von Schönberg translation (From a note to YFB)
I hope the following observation is going to be of some use. "Gericht", of course, means "law" (or "justice") and "Assessor", well, means the same thing in English. So the literal translation would be "law assessor" or "assessor of law(s)", in other words someone who would assess what civil(?) law(s) would apply to any given case as it comes to court. I don't know if "law clerk" would do, probably not. The problem here may be that there probably is no equivalent functionary in the courts of the English speaking world. The foregoing is an educated guess.

Rather than engage in a heated debate for the next several months, which degenerates into emotional and personal attacks, I'd prefer to just let my comments stand as they are. Tulane97 17:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Further more, why did you change Lostpedia to being a "engaging web advertisment" for the Lost Experience??? Its a fan website and nothing to do with ABC/Channel 4/Seven Network's Lost Experience. --217.65.158.118 09:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Impossible vaultHi Jreferee. I saw the listing you made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, and your proposal, while uncontroversial, may not be possible. Article histories aren't stored by section, but just one version after another. When you look at the history page, each of those versions is something that could move, or not. There's not really a set of versions from here that contain the history of the architectural information and not lots of other stuff that it can't be separated from. I hope I'm making sense... If you can see a reasonable way to split off part of the history while keeping the history of what remains in the right place, I'll happily do it, but I don't see it. Perhaps it would be better to leave a note at Talk:List of architectural vaults indicating that the material for your initial version came from Vault (disambiguation), where people can find the GFDL history if they need it. The whole point of preserving histories is so that content can be traced to a particular contributor, so as long as we leave a paper trail, we're generally pretty happy. Please let me know if I can help in any way. -GTBacchus(talk) 07:52, 22 November 2006 (UTC) Smiley AwardFeel free to place this award on your user page, as a token of appreciation for your contributions. If you're willing to help spread the good cheer to others, please see the project page for the Random Smiley Award at: User:Pedia-I/SmileyAward Edit SummariesI've noticed a huge improvement in your use of edit summaries. Good job and keep up the good work! Cbrown1023 19:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC) DiffsHiya, on your post[1] at User_talk:Rebecca, could I please recommend that you include some diffs? For example, it would be helpful to add this diff [2] next to the "psychopath" comment. This assists other editors in verifying the specific incidents, and can make your comments and concerns more effective. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions, --Elonka 23:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC) WikiProject MunichHello, You are invited to join WikiProject Munich!

Leisha HarveyOh, spare me the rhetoric. I have no problem with the persondata, but the infobox was completely useless (not to mention factually incorrect in a couple of places), and virtually all of the content you added was indeed worthless - either padding that served no purpose and added nothing to the article, or original research conclusions, such as the vague claims of "her name being used as a political and legal football". Secondly, I'm almost impressed that you bothered to go through all my archives and message everyone I've ever had a dispute with in an attempt to somehow get credence for your edits, rather than trying to write something which actually added to the article. Finally, trying to make something out of my response to a stalker who was threatening me offline is just below the belt, and shows that you're really grasping at straws here. Rebecca 03:13, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Solicitation and other thingsHi Jreferee. Although you may honestly disagree with Rebecca's edits, the way in which you have attempted to dispute them is disruptive. Spamming (vide contribs) 18 different users (and at one stage an article talk page – which I've deleted) is utterly inappropriate and aggressive. Moreover, in assuming bad faith and labelling Rebecca's edit as vandalism (please see that page for a description of what that actually is), which you did in at least three places (diff, diff, diff), you have failed Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Please be more aware of these policies when involved in future content disputes. Also, an apology to Rebecca for misrepresenting (diff, diff) an edit summary which related to an obviously distressing (and completely different) issue, wouldn't go astray. Thanks, --cj | talk 01:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Re:Nice articleThank you for the comment left on the talk page of the David M. Gonzales article. One of the interesting things that I found while writing this article is the fact that according to the news release, Congressman Breman took all of the credit for correcting the mistakes of the subjects photos and decorations, while it was his aide Flores the one who really did all the work.

Cheers Tony the Marine 03:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the help!Much apprecaited. Just be careful about overdoing it with the images, I'm trying to bring these to featured status, and if there's too many fair use images with shaky rationales (like with the DVD cover), they're going to complain. Also, the did you know entries don't allow fair use images, so don't add those. Keep up the good work! --badlydrawnjeff talk 03:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC) I wanted to thank you for your assistance on this article. This is the first article that I've created that I thought was interesting enough for DYK. I had trouble sleeping last night because I thought it was too stubby and it was wonderful to find someone else working on it this morning, especially with the addition of that great map and additional reference documents. ~ BigrTex 18:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC) |
