Status

Anyone looking for the latest status on the recent dispute, or wondering why on earth someone is calling me all kinds of names, the latest information is here. - Elonka 03:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Articles I have created

For anyone interested in reviewing my editing history, these are articles I am particularly proud of:

• Raphael Kalinowski
• German liner Kronprinz Wilhelm
• Alfred Niezychowski
• Kim Zetter

And though I didn't create it, I've been substantially expanding the article on bestselling author Dan Brown.

• scratches head* Very odd situation indeed. I quickly went over your last 500 edits or so, and it looks ok from here. You did collide with dreamguy, but that's about it. I suppose bishonen is looking into the latter part. Terribly inconvenient this. Kim Bruning 09:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.  :) Elonka 14:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Fun things that makes me really happy! :-)

I have no idea what to write here - it just seemed it was time for a title like that on your page.  :-) --TStone 21:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

LOL! Yes! And, um, kittens! Chocolate ice cream! Hopefully not at the same time!  :) Elonka 21:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Heh, something tells me you know about the other .cx site too. Damn! That one made my eyes shrivel up into dust. But it was quite fun hitting other unsuspecting people with that one. A few faces I wished I had photos of, :-)

I don't know if you follow my adventures here. Strange really, because I have no idea what it is all about. People who should be happy to know the real world seems upset. Oh well.. if you haven't followed it, then these comments must be really cryptic. Good thing that's your area :-)

(Did you notice I wrote in Rot-13 a while back? Dunno, seemed like an amusing thing to do).

Kittens! Yes, I'm a cat person. Don't have any now unfortunately, but had a bunch when I lived in Göteborg. Four. Then the 2 females got kittens, and suddenly we had twelve cats... then they all got cat fleas. Owww... it took forever! Bathing them one by one every third day for 6 weeks - there's nothing that can look as miserable as a wet cat... imagine 12 of them.. They made me feel like Hitler, Satan and Bill Gates in one person. --TStone 22:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering whether there was any reason that Image:Elonka.jpg was PD only in the US? If we know it's PD worldwide, then we can use {{PD-because|..}}. — Matt Crypto 09:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

About the Masonic Knights Templar article

Hello, Elonka. I'm very impressed by the cleanup work you did on the Masonic Knights Templar article. However, you should be aware that there is one or many self-described Masonic Knights Templar who will edit the article in order to support their view that there was and is Templar-Masonic connection. So you better keep watch. ;) --Loremaster 01:01, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll keep my "cite your references" macro handy.  ;) Elonka 01:14, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Resizing the Knights Templar article

Hello Elonka, I've started the process of resizing the Knights Templar article. I've created two new related article, History of the Knights Templar and Knights Templar legends. Could you eloquently summarize the history of the Knights Templar and post it in the Knights Templar History section. Thank you. --Loremaster 17:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Request for Advocacy

You posted a request for an advocate on the AMA page about two weeks ago. Has that request been answered, or are you still looking for an advocate? If you are still looking for an advocate, please provide me with a summary of what the nature of the personal attacks is, and what the subject matter content was that resulted in this dispute. Either post the summary on my user talk page, Robert McClenon or email it to me. Robert McClenon 20:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

See User:Elonka/DreamGuy dispute.  ;) Elonka 20:19, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't really answer my question. What articles were you and he edit warring on? What was he saying about you? There has been enough refactoring that it is a little hard to figure out what is going on. I will try to research the matter further. If the personal attacks resume, then please let me know immediately, and I will try to help you with an RfAr. Robert McClenon 20:41, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Other pages to make

Do you suggest I make an article about the 27th Maine Regiment? They are notable because everybody in the regiment got Medals of Honor because they defended Washington past there expiration date voluntarily. From there should I make an article on Mark F. Wentworth-the commander of the regiment? And then an article on the 32nd Maine Regiment-also under Wentworth's command. Then last but definitly not least, an article on William Hayes Googins-a person in the 27th Maine Regiment (he's my great-great-great-grandfather)? Please respond because I know quite a bit on these topics and I have books for resources.Icelandic Hurricane 21:41, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I think that those are all great ideas, but I'd recommend concentrating on only 1 or 2 pages at a time. That'll help you to gain experience on page creation, as you learn about formatting and categorizing, which will make creation of the other pages go easier. Otherwise you'll end up having a dozen "so-so" pages which will be hard to defend all at once. It's better to go slow. For example, my first pages were Raphael Kalinowski and German liner Kronprinz Wilhelm, and then I gradually worked outward from them after they were more or less "done", branching out to August Czartoryski, Alfred Niezychowski, Maria Amparo, and so forth. Elonka 21:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Great! I'm going to start with the 27th and William Googins.Icelandic Hurricane 21:50, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Are there any other articles you suggest I make? Such as things I mentioned in writing. Please answer on my talkpage.Icelandic Hurricane 22:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Why havn't you responded?Icelandic Hurricane 21:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Places associated with the Knights Templar?

This list should be alphabetized and only contain places that were truly associated with the Knights Templar. We could move the names of places that are only associated to the Templar through myth to the Knights Templar legends page and create a section for them there. Do you have enough knowledge in order to do this? Once this done, I think we should nominate the article to be featured. --Loremaster 23:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Brian Krebs

Spiffy that you put together an article on Brian. He deserves one :)

Sir Charles Warren

Hi. Sorry about that. I'm not sure what happened there - I didn't intend to do that at all, only to change a word or two. Either I'm having a brainstorm or Misplaced Pages is. Restored. -- Necrothesp 10:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
