User talk:WilliamThweatt/Archive 2
I've created this, feeding into the same category as lang-stub for the time being, and tagged the four I'd found earlier. If this gets significantly larger -- or if "Wikiproject Austro-Asiatic langugages" springs into being -- the issue of a separate category can be revisited. Alai 03:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC) Sothea and SamouthIt was my pleasure to get the articles together. And it's great to know there's someone else out there who appreciates Khmer rock and roll. Wisekwai 21:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC) KurdsHey, no problem. I was going to fix it, but you beat me to it. :) Don't forget to check the article for neutrality. —Khoikhoi 03:04, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Immigration protestsThanks for keeping the "scare" stuff out of the 2006 U.S. immigration reform protests article. By any chance have you taken a look at my comment about the terms "illegal", "unauthorized", and "undocumented"? I know I should have brought the issues up on the talk to illegal immigration, and perhaps I will copy them there...--Rockero 20:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up...But it looks like I was beaten to that welcome. Keep up the great work! Kukini 05:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC) Talk:Great American Boycott vulgarity and racist commentsHello, I got your name from the list of Admins. I have a question. I don't like removing things from discussion pages but somebody has recently posted a very vulgar, racist comment with links to White Supremist websites at this talk page. Can these be deleted? If you could take a look, it's under the subsection "I Agree". Thanks.--WilliamThweatt 17:01, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Will :). I put this article up for peer review. I'd like your opinion, my friend. --RogerK 04:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC) Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC) Kurdish peopleHello William Thweatt. On the article itself page 19 but on the PDF-reader page 24. Also I think it is not only his own estimation but he mentions a source for that. Besides there are many scholars supporting this high growing population issue. Thanks. Wirya 15:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC) Hi, Jarai language is in need of an expert to check it (I've just created it). Thanks for your help! Badagnani 06:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC) Your Vandalism warning on my talk pageHi, that wasn't vandalism. Just an edit conflict. :P -- Shizane talkcontribs 20:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Edit Warriors girding for battleYou might be interested to note that Fellow-edit is assembling the troops to do edit war upon us "liberals" over at Ann Coulter. I'm of the opinion that this sort of behavior violates the spirit, if not the letter, of WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. Kasreyn 23:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC) Indeed. You and lawyer2b have been absolutely impeccably polite and constructive at that article. Kasreyn 23:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC) Hilarious reply to Fellow-edit by Jchap, who points out the self-described "newbie" who mysteriously already knows how to use templates and vote in AfD's. :P Kasreyn 00:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC) Needed: Another Ann Coulter FixThis time the first eight or so Notes are messed up.

Hintha 21:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
RE Clan MorrisonGood on you for having a go at rewriting it. There were a couple of things which immediately stuck out when i read through it ; first of all the fact that the first two paragraphs are the same, repeated in different sections and secondly that there were statements sitting about which ended with exclamation marks! which really isnt encyclopedic at all. Anyway the article looks a lot better after your edits, well done.siarach 19:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC) Myanmar articleHello. I've tried to condense the History section in the article, and I've added some more paragraphs about music and cuisine in the Culture section. Can you help copyedit the History section further, and perhaps add more information in the Geography section? I don't know what else to leave out from the History section, and I'm not that knowledgable in the Geography of Myanmar. What else should be added to the lead section? WikiProject Countries advises the following:
Should the most well-known Burmese figures (Aung San Suu Kyi, U Thant, Aung San) be mentioned here? Or should Myanmar's ethnic and linguistic diversity or Burmese culture be mentioned? Hintha 01:16, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Cambodian literatureI did a search for "Khmer literature" and also "Cambodian literature" and was amazed to find that no articles exist in Wikipedia. Do you know somebody who could work on this? --- Jakob Dempsey, YZU, Taiwan ThanksI'm still on my Wikibreak, just checking from a library computer, and I noticed that you reverted some vandalism to my userpage. I appreciate that. I noticed that the vandal was claiming both you and Scientizzle were my socks... any idea what that's all about? The only page I can think of that all three of us edit is Intelligent Design (and related pages). In any case, thanks. :) Kasreyn 22:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Cambodia FARThe review for Cambodia is inches from completion, I think. Tony listed two small issues at the end. Any chance you could take care of those and give us an update? Cheers and good work on this one, Marskell 08:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC) Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groupsHi William, welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups. I saw your info. The page on Austronesian people is brand-new and fairly desperately in need of help, if you have the time. By the way, I'm working on Taiwanese Aborigines, Formosan languages and to a lesser extent Austronesian languages. Cheers --Ling.Nut 19:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC) Oh PSI took another look at your user page and had a different thought. The Chamic languages (from my viewpoint, esp. Tsat) are particularly interesting among the Austronesian languages, as the ones that represent a sort of counter-migration back to the continent.. there's a little note about it on Austronesian languages (see Thurgood, Graham (1999), From Ancient Cham to Modern Dialects. Two Thousand Years of Language Contact and Change. Oceanic Linguistics Special Publications No. 28, University of Hawai'i Press, Honolulu.)--Ling.Nut 19:35, 16 September 2006 (UTC) InvitationHi, you are welcome to join WikiProject Burma/Myanmar, thanks!

The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Morocco, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. Oops!Sorry, I forgot to reply to you!

Morocco MediationGiven that no one has replied to the mediation within the last 17 days, I am closing it as being stale. From a cursory glance, it appears to me that mediation is no longer needed. However, if this is not the case, then you are more than welcome to file a new case. Thanks. On behalf of the Mediation Committee, ^demon[omg plz] 16:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC) Re: Jesse JacksonHm. I just re-read Talk:Jesse Jackson to remind myself of the disagreement we were involved in. I'm sorry you concluded that my motivations there were political; I'd have done the same thing if it had been (say) Rick Santorum. I thought we had had a good strong discussion of the quote in question as regards Wikipedia policy and encyclopedia writing, not politics -- my stance was, basically, "he says a lot of stupid stuff; what's so special about this incoherent one?" Otherwise, we've been doing about the same thing on that article: defending it from general vandalism. However, if you perceive I've been acting politically there, you're probably not alone; can you suggest how I might proceed in the future to diminish the appearance of political behavior? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 16:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC) RE:Your post to KhoiKhoi
Thanks Nina. William, what probably happened is some user just added the {{sprotected}} template, and thought that by simply adding the tag that it would actually protect the page. Of course, only admins can protect pages, and if you see anons editing a page, it's not semi-protected. Here is a view of all the edits that occured from when Ryan Delaney unprotected the article at 18:49, 14 December 2006 to when Clevelander started editing it at 02:12, 16 December 2006. I took a look at it, and at a quick glance, I don't see any vandalism that hasn't already been reverted. Cheers, Khoikhoi 06:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC) Savage pageNo, YOU are in danger of sanction as you have repeatedly disregarded the very rules to mention. (EnglishEfternamn 18:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC))
Kudos on neatly nipping that "anti-homosexual" versus "homophobic" snit. Frotz661 01:48, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
A matter of honourAs a small matter of personal honour, your edit summary in the socialism article ("re-edited various grammar and punctuation fixes wiped out by Nikodemus' insistent blanket reversions") got things the wrong way around: I was not the one doing the blanket reversions - WGee and 172 were responsible for that. In fact, I had just restored your grammar corrections to the first paragraph a few minutes before you made your most recent edit. -- Nikodemos 00:58, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
A comment on socialismUpon reflection, I notice that this comment of mine was a little haughty, particularly the last sentence in light of your profession. I'm not sure whether or not you interpreted it that way, but I was quite impatient at the time and I apologize for that. -- WGee 05:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC) About my commentI see I worded myself poorly and as a result you misunderstood me here[2]. If the user's name was Terrorism101, I certainly would not have defended it. My comment was referring to the War on terror, which seems address a lot more than only terrorism. I felt much of the concern surrounding this name may have been due to the mis-use of the word terror as terrorism over the last few years. I hope I have clarified. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 16:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC) TabsLooking good! ++Lar: t/c 21:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC) OfferThanks for the offer, but I had a look at the page you mentioned and I would fail it because of the lack of in-line citations. You have five books in References, but very few page numbers in Notes. There is a reference for an external Pdf page which is very good, and can be quoted extensively (by paraphrasing, of course...) The whole article could be a lot more detailed, and the flow could be improved, BTW. Thanks again for your offer. andreasegde 06:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC) Isn't it a little harsh to fail the article, given that it passes 4 of the 5 criteria, with the last being simply due to not quite enough information. Wouldn't putting it on hold be a more appropriate action then failing it right away?

I wonder if you would care to examine his actions at Tilman Hausherr, where he seems to be following a quite surprisingly different interpretation of WP:BLP. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
ThanksThanks for your input over at Antaeus' posting on Tilman. I had glanced at WP:NAM a few times but never long enough to truly appreciate it. I especially need to work on it as I allow myself to be "rightously provoked" and give myself permission to be as wickedly sardonic as I can manage in return. That is not especially a "class act". While that may have assisted me in the past, there were likely other approaches that I could have taken also and that would have served as well and that I might want to concentrate more on in the future. My only defense is that when you are being ganged up on and bullied in your first visit to the playground, you may not realize that the teachers are just on the other side of the door. Take care. --Justanother 03:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC) CambodiaHi William. Thanks for your message. I did have a look at the issue being discussed on the Cambodia talk page, and with the direction and tone the conversation is taking, for my own sanity's sake, I need to stay away from it for now. Perhaps the issue can be revisited at a later date?

A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 09:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC) Khmer Krom"Khmer Krom" usually means "Southern khmer" living in Vietnam, on their ancestrial territory, not very différent from the "Chicanos", living in now the US South-West. From the original inhabitants of the Mekong delta, they became an "ethnic minority" after Vietnamese conquest and the Khmer village of "Prey Kor" turned to be "Saigon". On April 1978, some Khmer Krom participated in the Phu lai Ba Chuc massacres with the "Khmer rouge" raiding in Vietnam from Cambodia. It's been an huge "pogrom" with only two survivors.

If my adjudging your nomination to have been badly done is a "personal attack", what then is what you said about me in the following statement:
Now, I consider your attempt to read my mind with the first bolded statement, and your characterization of my remarks as "inflammatory" to be hyperbolic rhetoric, but not personal attacks. But according to your standards, they would qualify as PAs. I don't have ill-will towards you, but towards what I consider a poorly-thought out nomination. I harbor no resentment or anger towards you in the least for making the nomination. And nothing I've typed indicated otherwise. Bellwether BC 20:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I believe that either you should be consistent and either add this note to the infobox of all Brahmic languages, or leave it out altogether (after all, there is no reason why this snippet of information is more in place on the page about the Tibetan script than on e.g. the page on the Devanāgarī script). For now, I will revert your edits for consistency's sake. Personally I believe it's best to just leave the disputedness to the page on the Brāhmī script page (especially because that page claims it's 'agreed on' by most scholars that Brāhmī derives from Semitic scripts). If you disagree with my revert, please contact me. Moreover, on the general Brāhmī page, there is a note that Brāhmī's origin in Aramaic is disputed, which links to a section of the same article (!!) in which it is mentioned that the general belief is that Brāhmī derives from Aramaic. This at least has to be fixed, too. Otherwise, my point in N-true's talk page still stands: either edit *all* infoboxes for the Brahmic scripts. I see no reason for such inconsistency as the one introduced by mentioning the dispute on one, or three, pages on Brahmic scripts. All in all, I believe there is too little reason to mention a minority view like this one on each and every page on the Brahmic scripts. Joost (talk) 17:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Development of province articlesI started working on Koh Kong Province, then saw your post on the WikiProject Cambodia talk page. Please give me a shout when you get back from your wikibreak. I'll hold off on doing too much until you are back. I've run into some questions on population figures and a few other things. Plus, some continuity in the way the articles are organised, etc., would be good. Civilaffairs (talk) 22:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Civilaffairs Invitation
Orphaned non-free image (Image:Chalermpol Malakham.jpg)Thanks for uploading Image:Chalermpol Malakham.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Aspects (talk) 06:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC) To one of my favourite editors...... for a hell of a long time I have meant to drop by your page and express my sincere appreciation for all the magnificent work you do on Cambodia articles. The quality of your writing, the thoughtful and relevant comments you leave on talk pages and your vigourous defense against vandals, clowns and POV pushers have made editing Cambodia articles that much more enjoyable. Despite my admiration, I've never dropped by to say gidday - my apologies. I've been off-wiki for about a year and lately I've been catching up on some unfinished WP:Cambodia work. On that note, I saw your message about the provincial articles and agree completely. It looks as though User:Civilaffairs is also interested. Today, I cleaned a load of spam off Kampot province, Kep and Sihanoukville province all of which are quite embarrassing for such important articles. I have a particular attachment for Pursat province as my Khmer family were all born there - but I'm happy to work on any of them. If you're interested perhaps we can rope-in Civilaffairs and make a start on one of the seaside provinces - they seem to be spam magnets for bar and guesthouse owners at the moment and currently tell us nothing about the province. Kampot and Kep in particular have a fascinating history. Let me know when/if you have time. Cheers, Paxse (talk) 12:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC) GA Sweeps invitationHello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are listed as a GA reviewer. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you. We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!
