User talk:Mike hayes

Sorry if I missed your message. I don't keep old messages anymore than I keep old e-mails. (If you're really interested in them, you can always find them in the history tab.) I sometimes make mistakes in my edits. Simply correct them yourself if you find them. This will save you time and frustration because I sometimes don't go on Wikipedia for weeks or even months if I have other more pressing business that I have to attend to.

Montevarchi

Hi Mike, it's Giorgio writing. I'm trying to develop on italian wikipedia and on the english one the edits related to Montevarchi, my home town between Florence and Arezzo. Do you mind if I ask you to correct my maccaronic english? Thanks.--giorgiomonteforti (talk) 14:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help on Eugene O'Neill conflict

As someone who has contributed to the Eugene O'Neill article, perhaps you would be willing to look at the (rather one-sided) discussion on that article's talk page regarding Emerson7's deletion of cited materials, Ah, Wilderness NOT O'Neill's only comedy. I would like to have a Request for Comment process initiated, but must have at least one other editor to have contributed to the discussion before an RfC can be started. Thank you.

siddur

i noticed your edit on the maimonides page regarding siddur/Siddur. siddur is a hebrew word, used to mean 'prayer book'. so, it is not a specific document/book but rather a generic name for any prayer book. on the other hand....a capital S isn't so bad since it does refer to one kind of book.... Soosim (talk) 18:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I asked someone to clarify in the note attached to my edit. Thank you for the information. On the other hand The Book of Common Prayer is the Anglican prayer book, but "Anglican Prayer Book" would probably be accurate because, as I pointed out, it is a specific prayer book that is being referred too.

Thank you. Merci bien. I consult Wikipedia in other languages (especially French and German) constantly. This can often resolve ambiguities and lack of clarity in the English language article. I am not an expert linguist but I have a working knowledge of several other languages that is adequate for general purposes. Mike Hayes (talk) 17:01, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited George Rex, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Procurator and Registrar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Translation of 95 year old philosophy.

Greetings,

I am trying to get a team together who would finally translate "Sistema di logica come teoria del conoscere" into English. I thought Wikipedia's list of Italian-to-English translators might be a good group to 'hit up' on this subject. If personal assistance cannot be provided, perhaps suggestions or helping point me in the right direction of who might be willing to help? Best regards & thank you. Nagelfar (talk) 05:23, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't speak Italian, although I read modern Italian with some ease. The translations I have done have been with the help of on-line translation applications. I compare the machine translation to the Italian original and try to find a compromise between the two. It is a laborious and time-consuming process that I would only ever use for straightforward subjects like a biography and one that is relatively short. A subject as complicated as the one covered by this book, is far beyond my competence to attempt (as well as my desire for that matter). Mike Hayes (talk) 07:36, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the prompt reply Mike. I do hope I will find some as eager as myself to get on this. Sorry to have bothered you. Nagelfar (talk) 18:22, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Italics and quotation marks

Hi there! You just made this [2] edit, which I agree with, to the Voltaire article, with the edit summary "Please read the help page on italics and quotation marks–in particular, both at the same time, are deprecated." Could you give me the actual link to that policy? I'd like to check it out. Awien (talk) 18:33, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mike, I have just expanded your article about Marietta Piccolomini basing myself upon the Italian one. Should you feel like taking a look at my edits (my English is not very good), you'd oblige me very much. Cheers.--Jeanambr (talk) 18:40, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

John Davidson (poet)

nice work on John Davidson (poet). I fussbudgeted with your references. I trust you meant to use Cite SBDEL rather than template:SBDEL. the EB1911 article, has not yet been proofread at wikisource. 198.24.31.117 (talk) 16:59, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chartreuse (liqueur), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mace. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Not around recently

I stumbled upon your work on How Many Miles to Babylon? (novel), and noticed you haven't been around for a few months. Are you okay? I hope you haven't found the Wikipedia community discouraging: we really do need to keep valuable and prolific contributors and translators like yourself within the community. Did you know that there is a new content translation tool that is really nifty: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation#Try_the_tool ? I hope you get the opportunity to come back and enjoy happy editing! Sadads (talk) 23:23, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mike.

I am researching a Helen Hoyt who was a reporter for the Williamsport (PA) Gazette and Bulletin in the 1910s. The photo that you uploaded to Wikipedia is credited to the Gazette and Bulletin,but I could not find it on the cited page. There was an article by her on the page. There is also another Helen Hoyt who may have been the daughter of the Pennsylvania governor, Henry Hoyt. Do you have any more information or an updated citation?

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The Gadsbys Frontispiece.pdf

A tag has been placed on File:The Gadsbys Frontispiece.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
