Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article User talk:DarthLeppard, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:User talk:DarthLeppard|its talk page]]. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

New! BCAD drive from MilhistCan I invite you to particpate in our new assessment drive? It's strictly for experienced editors and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on March 10 but you can sign up in advance here. It would be great if you can spare the time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Canadian Pacific Steamship CaptainThanks for your help at Wikipedia:Help Desk#Article Naming Conflict .... The new article has been entitled Samuel Robinson, RNR because (1) this is the way the mariner seems to have identified himself in the 1924 report detailing what happened to RMS Empress of Australia during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923-- see here; and (2) I found another book which explained that all Canadian Pacific steamships in this period were captained by men from the Royal Naval Reserve, having an implied cachet in the early years of the 20th century which passes unrecognized (or under-appreciated) today -- see Tate, E. Mowbray. (1986). Transpacific Steam: The Story of Steam Navigation from the Pacific Coast of North America to the Far East and the Antipodes, 1867-1941, p. 238.. There may be a better way to name this article, but this choice is at least plausible and informed. --Tenmei (talk) 14:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC) religion in communismhehe! Thanks for the link. However that's not the kind of thing I was talking about. religious communism talks about a type of communism. I was referring to how idea (a) intersects with idea (b) - in this case religion and communism as examples. My argument is that WP will grow, and has huge scope for growth, in new articles describing multiple topics. Nice to know there's someone listening out there, though. Witty Lama 04:59, 28 March 2008 (UTC) {{notenglish}}Just to let you know that an article being written in a foreign language is not a reason for it to be speedily deleted. The {{notenglish}} tag is the correct one, but you should follow the instructions at the bottom of the tag to list it at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation. Thanks!

News! Tag & Assess 2008 is coming ...Milhist's new drive – Tag & Assess 2008 – goes live on April 25 and you are cordially invited to participate. This time, the task is housekeeping. As ever, there are awards galore, plus there's a bit of friendly competition built-in, with a race for bronze, silver and gold wikis! You can sign up, in advance, here. I look forward to seeing you on the drive page! All the best, --ROGER DAVIES talk 13:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Spell checkHi! I noticed that at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Being able to edit your edit summaries that you sometimes have trouble with typos in edit summaries. Have you considered using Firefox, which has spell check built-in? It's been a lifesaver for me, finding typos when editing articles automatically and finding errors in edit summaries and other textboxes with a couple of clicks. —Remember the dot (talk) 06:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Message box standardisationI saw that you expressed an interest in message box standardisation over at the Village pump. As you know we have now made the {{imbox}} and {{cambox}}. But before we can deploy these new message box standards we could need some more editors adding their opinions over at the talk pages of those meta-templates. And you might have some good points that we haven't thought of yet. --David Göthberg (talk) 11:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC) RfA thank-spamParagon12321, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

We need a QotDParagon, I nominate this line, from one of your responses on the RefDesk:Science page, as a Quote of the Day. Since no such award actually exists, what this really means is that I laughed out loud when I read it! Generally, no one dies if a biologist makes a mistake. -- Danh, 70.59.116.253 (talk) 23:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
My RfAThanks for not getting caught up in the whole userbox thing :). I'll most likely reapply in 4-6 months; for now i've decided i'll only use twinkle for friendly welcoming messages; since i'm going to try and dabble in article creation everything can be done by hand. Thanks again! Ironholds 20:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC) Proposal discussion resumedHi. I'm contacting you because you were involved in the discussion concerning the renaming of the lists of basic topics. I ran into resistance when I attempted to rename the set. Therefore, the name change hasn't been completed, because the previous discussion wasn't widespread enough, nor announced in enough places. I've submitted a new proposal at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Proposal to rename the pages called List of basic x topics to Topic outline of x. The Transhumanist 06:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC) RfA thank you
Indian Police ActIndeed. Look I feel people try to be disingenous when they say exact text of law isn't kosher. For articles and areas that are chronically underserviced - it is a vital first step. I am sure that the expansion of specific sections will come in due time. Secondly, I think the British Colonial Act is an essential part of Wikipedia and not Wikisource. Wikipedia will carry obvious and critical statements of law (both criteria are met) that will be further embellished in due course. (Why such excruciating stringency over minor overlaps - which will always exist, and should exist for efficiency for the reader.) By blanching that first step, you are doing grievous harm to building such chronically underserviced areas. Lastly - law enforcement (that is what you are doing) is always discretionary. If you are of the opinion that this mild waste doesn't injure Wikipedia in a significant way but perhaps charts a way for further significant contributions in the area, you can stop riding the high horse for a little bit. Enforcement zealots are either idiots or ideologues, and you don't seem either. See the article/law in context and decide in an informed manner. I would strongly recommend that you restate the article. Varuag_doos —Preceding undated comment was added at 01:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC) This is ridiculous. Why did you nominate the article Potap for deletion, and yet you know nothing about him? --Boguslav (talk) 01:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Antagonist Perpetrated AggressionAntagonist Perpetrated Aggression is the APA Tactical System, registered at the Copyright Office, Library of Congress, Washington DC as well as the Republic of China's Ministry of the Interior Office of Copyright. APA is a classified national Force Response methodology. It was developed for the exclusive use of National SWAT Teams, Tactical Support and Combined Operations under the authorization of the Interior Ministry and as initiated by the National Security Bureau in 1985 to coincide with the start of National Tactical Training. This is a documented and published fact written in detail by the well known writer and journalist Keith Strandberg for the May 1988 edition of SWAT Magazine and I have referenced the article by external link. As well, though my work is thoroughly documented I am only at liberty to disclose archival news media and a portion of formal review by senior government leader at the Ministry Training Base which I have added an external link to as well. Mr. Ralph D. Sawyer is perhaps the best known translator of the Art of War, a senior fellow at the Institute of Strategic Studies and considered to be one of the leading experts on Chinese military past and present. His new book is called the Tao of Deception and has a thorough introduction of me with a short Foreword which I wrote on his behalf in the Chinese edition now being sold in the Far East (Taiwan, China, Singapore and Hong Kong). His work is well read and thoroughly published. He is a respected authority on military topics. He was my student and can be contacted should you feel a need to verify any statement I make. This system is not well known but an estimated 50,000 officers have been trained under its process and my personal supervision. APA is not a martial art nor is it a fighting style; however the APA Tactical Team won the group Gold Medal in the 1990 World Martial Arts Competition. I do not teach publicly and am only involved with federal level agencies. I am an American born in Dansville N.Y. and the only person who has official authorization and certification as Chief Instructor of the elite-most Terror Interdiction Teams and their instructors on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. I would be happy to provide complete official certification Please be aware that APA is provided to government agencies free of charge or licensing restriction as is the enormous time and research. In this light I am submitting this summary as a formal request for Wikipedia editors and administrator to accept an article with the title Antagonist Perpetrated Aggression and not to relentlessly pursue deletion Here are some important facts about Antagonist Perpetrated Aggression. •APA is the only Combat system selected by the National Police Administration for SWAT •APA was developed from the ground-up under authority of the Interior Ministry •APA is the only System of Simultaneous Counterattack proven in the field. •APA was taught to every Department, County and Precinct Instructor is taught relevant APA. •APA provides a full spectrum of Tactical Skills, developed by Chief Instructor Chris Mar including: a. the complete Close Quarters Combat methodology, b. Hand to Hand Extraction, c. Tactical Riot and Crowd Control, d. Tactical Baton, Handcuffing, e. Search and Transport, f. Lock Flow Control, and g. Close VIP Security Units taught by Chief inst. Mar and the APA Instructor’s team. •Starting 1985 through 2000 APA Tactical CQC was taught to a. approximately 5000 SWAT Team members and b. 40,000 other active officers’ police including c. riot divisions, d.; diplomatic security, c. and Spec Ops. From 2000-2008 APA training is maintained by SWAT Teams. a. As well members of Jordanian internal Security, b. Saudi Special Forces Officers Malawian Royal Guard, c. Tactical Support d. Rapid Deployment teams were APA highlights. Chief Instructor Chris Mar develops APA Tactical Riot coinciding with the ending of 38 years of Martial Law The APA process calls for a total ban on dispersed munitions such as tear gas and rubber bullets, chemically treated water, high velocity bean bags and nets in order to avoid remote alienation and dehumanization APA’s Non-Escalation Policy and Adanved Tactical Combat skills results in Taiwan’s peaceful street protests Thank you for your consideration; Chris Mar Chrismar (talk) 23:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Antagonist_Perpetrated_Aggression"
Someone, probably you, requested access to the account creation tool. For security purposes could you please confirm that it was you who made the request so we can approve you, thanks. FunPika 00:57, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I've granted you accountcreator rights, so you will no longer hit a limit. Bear in mind that it only removes the limit, and cannot bypass the anti-spoofing measures (for similar or inappropriate usernames, for example). Such requests will still have to be handled by administrators. Thanks for helping out! PeterSymonds (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC) Thank you
Antagonist Perpetrated AggressionThank you for your return and considerate advice. I will make all sure to support the article with verifiable third party reference. Please note to clarify the number of tactical units I personally trained from 1985 through 2005 was as follows over 25 divisions of Taiwan Special Tactics approximately 5000 officers, plus receiving instruction in relevant APA Tactical Combat Protocol included Security Officers of the 1st through 7th Battalions which are Riot teams, Diplomatic Security, Government VIP Close Security, Coast Guard, Tactical Support, Special Operations, Rapid Deployment , County Instructors and National Police Agency National instructors - over 500; totaling over 40,000 active officers, plus members of the PRC PLA Armed Military Police Counterterrorist Instructors and other units over 120 elite operations and head instructors bringing the total number of National Defense, Combined Operations and Internal Security to over 50,000 which were taught by myself and 3 different generations of about 100 APA Tactical Assistant Instructors. I will make the time to establish an appropriate format for the article. Thanks again. Chris Mar Chrismar (talk) 21:25, 1 August 2008 (UTC) RFCUGood report. I added it to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser#Outstanding reports, and added a little more evidence to the report. I don't know of any RFCU notification requirements, and I've never notified in the past. If we're all wrong the checkuser will clear the accused, and I guess we owe FF190 a beer. :) Darkspots (talk) 05:39, 5 August 2008 (UTC) Welcome noticeHi.
