Hi Delirium, I made a reply to your edit summary on Talk:Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople. Regards, Atilim Gunes Baydin 15:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Peace237

Hi again Delirium, I just had an edit and revert to my talk page from a new user. The talk page of that user looks awfully familiar to me, so I'll be watching the edits made from that account. I don't know if it's appropriate to say the S-word, so just a heads up I guess. Robotman 22:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind... after this edit I'll come out and say that I think Peace237 is a sock puppet of Bbb00723. Robotman 22:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Gratitude!

Thanks for the reversion on my user page!!--Xnuala 00:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Upper Canada College

The sections on Scandals and Ethnic/Gender Issues have been in the article for MONTHS. G2Bambino was the one who deleted them. I just keep putting them back. THAT WAS THE NATURAL STATE OF THE ARTICLE. Now let me put those sections back in peace and tell G2Bambino to stop deleting content out of the article without discussing it first.

O'Clock

Your peculiar equation of standard English with a specific style manual doesn't wash. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

You have given no proof that it's normal to capitalise a preposition in a title. That one style manual does it is not enough. This was raised for general discussion, and there was no consensus; you have no grounds for insisting on the move. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The proposed move of The 11 O'Clock Show was dismissed as lacking consensus after a 3-0 vote to keep it where it was. I was wondering, should I now nominate the other pages the user moved at or around the same time at WP:RM, namely 25 O'Clock, 9 O'Clock Gun, The 7 O'Clock News, Three O'Clock High, Twelve O'Clock High and Ten O'Clock Classics? Or would it be OK to ask that you boldly move them as well, given the previous vote? I'd be bold myself, but User:Mel Etitis has/had a habit of "tidying" redirects by de-capping the "#REDIRECT" code to "#redirect", and obviously that second edit stops me reverting the move without admin assistance. Thanks in advance, --DeLarge 18:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Your comment for Gwern's multiple edits in different spellings

Can you do something about this users massive edits? Very annoying and unnecessary especially when on RC patrol. 500+ different spellings for one title and now another (around 100) for another title in different spellings. ww2censor 03:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Grundlegende Deutschkenntnisse :-)

Hallo, Delirium,
wie ich lese, sind deine Deutschkenntnisse sehr ordentlich. Könntest du mir vielleicht ein wenig behilflich sein, bitte? Meine Englischkenntnisse sind nämlich durchaus mit Mängeln behaftet, zu oft denke ich deutsch, wenn ich englisch schreibe.

Es wäre nett von dir, wenn du meine Beiträge bei Gelegenheit durchsehen könntest, nämlich bislang Felix Carlebach sowie meine Ergänzungen bei Bad Iburg und Georgsmarienhütte. Herzlichen Dank und ein schönes Wochenende --MrsMyer 16:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge

I don't know the story behind the merge, however do not forget to redirect the talk pages while doing merges (Talk:Lokma).. Cheers! Baristarim 06:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

No worries, if anyone wants to change the name/modify/split etc in the future, they can bring it up in the talk pages - it is not a big deal for me :) The only thing with the non-merged talk pages is that they continue to have the WikiProject templates which makes them continue to be listed as articles in WP categories. That was the only reason why I mentioned it... Baristarim 06:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Operation Magic Carpet

Per WP:DAB, when you move a page to make a disambiguation page, you must "Use the What links here list for the moved page to update all of the pages that link to that page." If Operation Magic Carpet (World War II) isn't notable, you should have no trouble going back and updating the links that were left pointing to the DAB page you created at Operation Magic Carpet. You may find it easier to undo your move. --J Clear 00:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Opera composers

Hi. This is to explain that the Opera Project has a policy of including all opera composers in the Category:Opera composers. This may not be orthodox but it has given us a list which is very useful. Do you mind if we put back the one you have just removed as redundant? Thanks. --Kleinzach 02:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks...

for notifying me you had undeleted the nonsensical corporate censorship article, that gave me the opportunity to see the bluelink in my deletion log and nuke it again, which of course I would not have done if you'd actually let me know. It's always best if we give the strongest possible impression of chaos in respect of deletion of gross and blatant POV-pushing like this. Hmmm. Reviewing this comment, it might be just the teensiest bit sarcastic, but I think you get the idea. I don't mind deletions being challenged, everything I do is open to review and I certainly would never assume I am necessarily right about anything, but it is helpful if one at least knows about these things.

CQU

Hi. I am the University web manager at CQU. I see you have blocked the IP for CQU from anonymous edits. I can understand your position, but I would like your advice. The University has had a degree of negative press recently. The[REDACTED] page has been used to highlight this negative press. I have previously edited and discussed in order to try to limit the criticism to only those things that can be properly referenced. Admittedly, one of our people got a bit upset, deleted some edits that were substantiated, but in some comments that were not and when his edits were reverted, apparently did it again. I am more than willing to work with the person involved so that he understands the rules of the[REDACTED] community. At same time, I would like to ask you to remove the block and to give me some advice on how to deal with this situation. Regards, Bill

I have never changed an article to match my POV

Regarding Rogue (musician)... Do not accuse me of that. My edit's to his page have nothing to do with POV. Do you actually know how[REDACTED] works... for instance.. do you know where Gothic music redirects? I was trying to avoid unecessary redirects, I have now put the Gothic rock under a Gothic music edit mask... this should be an acceptable compromise since it still links to the same place as your edits but visiually shows the result you were looking for on the page. In the future, please assume good faith. Assuming bad faith goes against the[REDACTED] community.--Dr who1975 22:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

you are mistaken

I'm trying to make sure both German and Italian are listed in all cases; you are dreaming of conspiracies and making false accusations. I've worked a lot to make sure listings use Bolzano and Bozen, Alto Adige and Sud Tirol. For example, I've been cleaning up pages to be completely multilingual: to ; to , etc. (and I think pretty darn good work!) Assume Good Faith, because now you are wasting both your time and mine. regards.

There is no clearly established English name for either Alto Adige or Sudtirol; I'm sorry, but you are mistaken there. You can see this very reason why there was a long discussion to have Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol named as it was.

Just a suggestion: We could take this to my talk page, so as not to split the discussion. —AldeBaer (c) 22:57, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Psalm 69, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Psalm 69 satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and the Misplaced Pages deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Psalm 69 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Psalm 69 during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 09:15, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

wikipedias categories

I am fine with your explanation, only I had included a number of entries in the category "clarinetists" and after your changes they had dissapeared. I don't mind reducing the categories as long as the entries show up in the correct categories. brian stormen 15:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I have done some more reading in the guidelines and came away with the impression there is not much objection of having more categories listed, even if the categories have a hierarchical relationship. Anyway, I feel that categories exist to help people browse and find what they are looking for so some redundancy cannot hurt. In relation to the category clarinetists and its subcategories: My gutt feeling is that at least the top and lowest category should be included in an article . Makes it easy for people starting from a general angle and appropriate for people starting from a very specific angle. brian stormen 19:36, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

"Macedonian"

Re. : Huh? I would have thought "ethnic Macedonian" is all the disambiguation needed to distinguish them from the Greek side. "Macedonian Slav" is really just needed to disambiguate from Albanian or other residents of the Republic. But even if you disagree, you shouldn't have reverted to the version whose wording "a Macedonian Slav term" implies the term is from the Macedonian language. Can you change that to something that makes more sense? I don't insist on "ethnic" as the precise wording, but please let's clean up the ambiguity about language versus ethnicity.

Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 . So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.

As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see .

Could you explain why you don't find the current references sufficient?

The nominator is on record that[REDACTED] articles can't report allegations from official sources, unless they had independently been proven to be true. It is a controversial interpretation, and one I believe cannot be reconciled with WP:VER and WP:NPOV.

Recovered memory and Recovered Memory Therapy

Hey Delirium, you might consider having a look at what has been done to Repressed memory and Recovered Memory Therapy. The first now has twice as much material "in support" than critical of it, the second has a section entitled Critics of the term RMT which is mostly a colorful essay justifying RMT and rambling on how RMT has been so deeply misunderstood recently, including content such as "Opponents of repressed memory are what the law considers, at best, a respectable minority under the two schools of thought doctrine", and furthermore such endless unverified, not sufficiently sourced nor directly applicable ramblings as a full paragraph of colorful essay in support as this:

Child sexual abuse occurs frequently in Western society. Questioning the validity of allegations made by children is the most common form of denial. Child sexual abuse has a difficult burden of proof in criminal courts. False retractions are also common. The denial of offenses is strong among men that commit sexual offenses. Many continue to deny their offenses even after conviction. It is suggested that parents have consistently underestimated the seriousness of their child’s distress when compared to accounts of their own children. Adults that were abused as children may be reluctant to disclose their abuse if they are attached to their offender.

The talkpages of both articles is filled with posts by users such as Abuse truth, west world, and Biaothanatoi, claiming that any criticism about the whole concept was nothing but a "nasty backlash" and "propaganda" by "pro-incest activists" who seek "decriminalisation of paedophilia". --Tlatosmd 11:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, if you could also post a warning asking him to stop on his user page it would help show that he was sufficently warned by more then one person if he doesn't heed the warning. I went ahead about posted the 3RR on the admin board already to see if they want to deal with it. Davidpdx 11:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Tumult

I've recently undone your move of Tumult of Thorn (Toruń) to Tumult of Thorn. I understand you made the move not having been familiar with the Gdańsk vote outcome , which I present below:

Please respond on the Talk page, my Talk page or my email, if you disagree, before reverting. This move had a silent blessing from GTBacchus and was also accepted by Mattehead. To be consistent with the move I also changed "History of Gdańsk" to History of Gdańsk (Danzig), "List of people from Gdańsk" to List of people from Gdańsk (Danzig)‎ and changed my own map in the Monastic state of the Teutonic Knights to double naming version. Now, if you disagree with my move, do you want me to (for consistency) undo my other changes, or do we need to talk? Please respond without reverting. Space Cadet (talk) 00:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Now according to the outcome of the vote: "Reverts to conform with community consensus are excluded from the 3RR rule. Only the place names can be reverted exempt from the 3RR rule according to the outcome of this vote, additional changes fall again under the 3RR rule. Please use descriptive edit summaries." Thank you.

OK, letme magnify this for you:
"For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig). An English language reference that primarily uses this name should be provided on the talk page if a dispute arises." Also my move was not AGAINST the consensus, it just had double naming per the Danzig/Gdańsk vote. Regards Space Cadet (talk) 00:36, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Keep in mind that I'm not moving to Tumult of Toruń but I'm merly introducing the outcome of the Danzig/Gdańsk vote by inserting double naming into the Tumult of Thorn (Toruń). Space Cadet (talk) 00:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Again, "(...) locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names (...)". Sorry, but this turned out to be a consensus, however bizarre it may sound to you, or to me, for that matter. Space Cadet (talk) 00:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Delirium, you're somehow missing the point. LOCATIONS THAT SHARE A HISTORY BETWEEN GERMANY AND POLAND ... Now Toruń certainly shares! At the time of the tumult Toruń was a Polish city, while it's most notable residents (people holding offices) were German. This has A LOT to do with the Danzig/Gdańsk vote. Regards. Space Cadet (talk) 00:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

The title IS the first reference! Now, do you want me to change History of Gdańsk (Danzig) back to "History of Gdańsk"? Be consistent now! What do you want me to do? Space Cadet (talk) 00:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, since I'm a chemist, I genrally tend to avoid getting involved in Chemistry related topics, but since the History of Prussia is my hobby I always seek opportunity to set things right and accomodate the common CONSENSUS.Space Cadet (talk) 02:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

say it right

You said "the whole point of free content is to make it so other people can reuse it"

I think we both know that the driving initial impulse of copy-left copyright licensing is that useful modifications to the original content is available to the original author. The point of a copy-left license is not that other people can use it (that is achieved with public domain); but instead the point is that useful modifications are also as freely available as the original content.

You wrote that Sami Al Hajj: From December 2001 to May 2008, he was held in extrajudicial detention in the United States Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, in Cuba. Actually the first twenty captives were transferred to Guantanamo on January 11 2002. And it wasn't populated right away. It may be possible to determine the date he arrived, from the logs of the ghost planes. But it definitely wasn't December 2001.

2008 Jerusalem bulldozer attack

Hm. I wasn't sure how to elegantly format this, but I used the single apostrophes on purpose, since the quote labeling it a terrorist attack is of course not a second-order quotation (something the article is quoting someone as saying), but rather a first-order quotation of the article itself. Everyme (was Dorftrottel) (talk) 17:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Naw, it's entirely of my own making. I just felt compelled to somehow capture the difference, which is somewhat important since that quote is something the news article is saying about someone else. Hearing that it isn't common makes me not want to reinstate my version, but I can't think of another half-decent way without redundantly explaining things so to keep in line with WP:ASF. Everyme (was Dorftrottel) (talk) 17:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

On second look, strike my concern. I think it works just as fine. I may eventually add who is being cited to keep it strictly neutral and weasel-free, but for now it's ok since it's clear that the quote is not of an Israeli goverment spokesperson or some such.

Notability of Tsantali

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mvjs (talk) 05:59, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

PhD and DPhil

It isn't very important, but when you edited the Cecil Staton article you wrote that he held the degree of PhD of the University of Oxford. If you come across this again it is worth bearing in mind that Oxford doctors of philosophy, like those from the University of Sussex and formerly also York, use the abbreviation DPhil. This is sufficiently ubiquitous that it would be a mistake to write 'PhD Oxford', although it does occur. As I say, it doesn't matter very much, and the re-write on the article is much appreciated - a significant improvement on my original.--Oxonian2006 (talk) 23:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Sophia Paleologue

I have reverted your good fate mistake. Capital of Byzantine Empire has fallen in 1453, but Byzantine province of Morea has falled only in 1460. This is not first or last paradox created by Historians (similar paradox is about fall of Western Roman Empire).--Rjecina (talk) 20:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the category. Can't believe I missed something so basic. Say, out of curiosity, did you actually test for all of those language proficiencies on your user page or is it more an approximation?

Natalee Holloway

Hi there. I noticed that you added her to Category:Possibly living people with the edit summary "category:Possibly living people (not overlapping with disappeared people; see talk there)". I cannot, however, seem to find where this was discussed; I have check the talk pages for Holloway, Cat:PLP and Cat:Disappeared people and I cannot seem to find it. Did I miss it and, if so, could you please direct me to it? Thanks and Cheers, CP 15:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Division of Altenburg

Thanks for your help on the Division of Altenburg article. If you know of any more sources or anything else we can add to the article, that would help a lot. I just found it one day and did some quick research to expand it from the stub that it was but I'm interested in it now. Also if you know any German sources I'm here in Germany for the time being and can try to look them up here. Thanks --Banime (talk) 12:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Random catting

We will leave aside the issue of whether adding micro date categories for anyone who ever lived is a good idea or not for now. Instead I will just ask

Nur-Adad (Quick-adding category "18th century BC deaths"

Sumuel (Quick-adding category "19th century BC people"

why are there "death" and "people" cats. I'm almost certain that Sumuel is just as dead as Nur-Adad. And how do you pick which to dole out?
