I noticed you added two paragraphs to the Poul Anderson article about themes in his writings. If they are themes, it might be good to mention examples from more than one book. Just a thought. Liblamb 17:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I was reading this article since I am doing a report on H.G. Wells and saw you added a bunch of analytical details which are great! I just wanted to say thanks and ask where you got them or are they your own ideas? Kramer k 07:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I just got it from the book itself, I think Wells meant his readers to read the book intelligently and not take at face value Bedford's judgement. By the way, if you make a report of Wells' work in general and not just this book, I would advice you to include his "The Shape of Things to Come" from 1934, which is often neglected and in my view unjustly.

I see that you are also working on In the Presence of Mine Enemies. Thanks very much for starting the expansion program and for helping me with it.

Your recent addition to the "Reception" section seems a bit rambling and long. The purpose of the section is simply to report the response, not evaluate it. Rather than try to tighten it up myself, I thought I'd suggest that you try your hand at it. Agent Cooper 02:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I have been looking for a reference to the story you mentioned in Magda Goebbels, which sounded interesting. All I found was this [1] post of a guy saying he hadn't heard of it. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks nadav 08:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the interesting text. Would you have a chance to add screenshot from Zeman's movie when Sword is flapping away from Nautilus?
HMS Sword is also name of at least one real historical ship: [2]. At some time tt may be good to move the fiction submarine under different name and create disambiguation. Pavel Vozenilek 17:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I could have expected this, "Sword" is a natural name for Englsih-speaking navies to use. I agree that this change should be made, the real ship should have some precedence over the fictional one. About the Zeman film: I am afraid I never saw it, only found some refernces to it on the internet. I have no way of adding film sequences to the page, if you can do it go ahead, it would be a nice addition. Adam keller 20:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
PS: I now read the interesting description which you found. If I understand correctly the first lines - "Rushmore (LSD-14) was laid down as HMS Sword 31 December 1943 by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Va; launched as Rushmore 10 May 1944" it seems to meand that the Ameroican origianlly built her for the British who intended to call her "HMS Sword" but that in fact, for an unspecified reason, the Americans decided to keep her and call her "Rushmore", and that was the actual name she bore throughout a quite long career. So, in a way, this "HMS Sword" is as fictional as the other one. Adam keller 20:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
There is a concern that the lyrics are a copyright violation. Are you able to show that they are out of copyright? Thanks. Mmoneypenny 08:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry,it did not even occur to me that there could be any such problem with a song which is more than sixty year old and whose text appears on HUNDREDS of websites. Here is what I found in exactly three minutes' search on Yahoo: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. If you go on searching you will find hundreds more (I would not be surprised if it will turn out to be thousands). Are all these people breaking the supposed copyright, and is somebody suing all of them for it? (It could provide several law offices with full employment for several years at least). Or are they all paying royalties (to whom)?
Of course, if turns out there is a real copyright you could wipe the text from the article itself and install instead an outside link to one or more of these websites. A very left-handed way for an encyclopedia to do things,in my view, but far be it from me to cause legal problems to Wikipedia. Adam keller 12:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I wondered if you could divulge what your source(s) for your nice expansion of the Shunrō Oshikawa article were.

A tag has been placed on
Moshe Ayalon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are
notable. If you can indicate why Moshe Ayalon is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on
Talk:Moshe Ayalon. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read
our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under
Articles. You might also want to read
our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{
hangon}}
to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that your article will be
verifiable.
nadav 09:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
As advised, I looked through the Wikipedia guidelines for "notability", and I must say it is true that Moshe Ayalon does not fit most of them, because he is definitely not famous enough in the various ways enumerated there. (But I saw also that these guidelines are not binding.)
The only criteria which in my view jut might fit him is this: 100 year test (future speculation) -- In 100 years time will anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful?"
My reasons for thinking this is applicable is - apart from the fact that I think Ayalon IS going to become famous, but of course I can't prove that - is that even if he never become more famous than he now is, he has a sharp and incisive mind, identifying real issues and dealing with them in an original way which nobody did before him, and writing with considerable literary merit. Re the above 100 year test", it is my opinion that for example a researcher of the Twenty-Second Century writing a doctorate about our time might find it useful to mention Moshe Ayalon in at least a footnote, which in my view is sufficiant reason for Wikipedia to retain the article.

Hi Adam. I noticed that you added Category:Roman Catholic Church to the London Dock Strike of 1889 article, and I was curious as to your thinking. Is this because of the reference to Cardinal Manning, or is there more to the story? Cheers.-- Bookandcoffee 16:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
If you will look at the addition I just made to the Dock Strike article you will see my reasons for thinking this is a significant event in Catholic history as well as in trade union history. Adam keller 23:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
You marked your edit with "Reference to September 11 in the context of renewed popularity of Belloc's views and works on Islam is HIGHLY RELEVANT and I don't accept continued deletion of it." Unfortunately, that's how Wikipedia works. People edit continuously and someone may disagree with your edit. Instead of yelling at the editors who remove your reference to the September 11 attacks, perhaps you should bring it up on the talk page. Mapetite526 21:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Adam.
I'm writing to you because I have troble understanding the importance of those huge fragments of H.G. Wells "
The Shape of Things to Come" (or any metion of his opinion on the subject for that matter) being inserted into the article about the
Polish Corridor. Many people of the era - politicians, militarists, historians and ethnographers - wrote about the post WW I Polish German borders. Yet you chose the opinion of a science-fiction writer to occupy most of the article space. Why is it so important to you? (And if it's so important, then maybe it deserves it's own article). Because he predicted WW II? But he "predicted" an international conflict lasting till late 60's resulting in death of over 90% of the Earth's population. Although many people died in WW II it still ended 1945. I don't know if you are aware that
Jehovah's Witnesses "predicted" World War One. Does that make all their reasoning true? Are you going to believe everything else they say because of that?
Another important thing:
Was resolving the Polish Corridor question the German way really going to stop the war?
First demand of Hitler after which he promised peace was reintroduction of military conscription.
Then remilitarization of Rhineland.
Then incorporation of Austria.
Then incorporation of Bohemia and creation of Protectorate.
All those demands were met.
At the same time he already started big scale dicrimination of the Jewish population of Germany.
But again nobody did anything. Makes one wonder if it perhaps wasn't the weakness and undecisiveness of other countries, and their lack of any response to Hitler's actions that caused WW II.
(Speaking of predictions: Polish leader Józef Piłsudski in 1934 also predicted the danger of the Nazi ruled Germany and proposed a preemptive strike to Great Britain and France, but nobody did anything.)
This is of course my humble opinion, everybody has a right to have one, Science-Fiction writers too.
In conclusion - I don't think the inclusion of Mr Wells' opinion (accompanied by a ton of quotes or not) into the article has any constructive purpose. I may be wrong of course. For now I'm going to remove the disputed paragraphs from the article. Maybe a better place for them would be the article about the book, I don't know. I'm open for discussion, though. Happy editing!
Space Cadet 00:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Adam, I was wondering whether your comments on the more recent trilogy are appropriate in an encyclopedia article. The words "seems to" suggest that this is one reader's interpretation. In order to validate this, we need something less subjective. A statement from one of the authors would be ideal. A published book review might be good enough; we could at least say "according to so-and-so."
If it's just your own interpretation, I grant that it's an interesting one, but there are many other places on the Internet where it should appear rather than Wikipedia. -- Rob C (Alarob) 02:38, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Re Prabowo I didn't really look at it yet and will get back to you soon. I removed the pov tag simply because a vandal had hijacked the template and it was showing an obscene picture. This has been happening a bit lately and when I went to report it others had also found it on other articles. Great work and I will get back to you soon. THe person who reverted my removal of the tag was the person who fixed up the vandalised template. Merbabu 01:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Your work improved the article a fair bit. I did some work on the Prabowo article, but i think it is still a problem. Generally, in my opinion much of the content is unsourced opinion. Although it is opinion I personlly agree with, it is not quite up to encyclopedia quality. I made some comments here. Hopefully you or I or both can revisit the article soon. regards Merbabu 03:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mr Keller. Welcome back, and I hope your travels were good. I am afraid that our best efforts were unable to save the court martial article. On another subject, I was wondering whether you could help with the question of racism in Israel in both Racism and Racism by country. If you look at the talk pages of these articles you can see that a number of editors have been involved in acrimonious exchanges with american "supporters of Israel" who are whitewashing and mention of racism in Israel. Your voice, as an Israeli who has been courageous in the battle against racism, may get a better response, especially if you are backed up by reliable sources. warmest regards Abu ali 20:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Some years ago I have written a paper at the Tel Aviv University on the 19th Century sturggle between the Danes and the Germans, and I clearly remember that at some time in the 1830s the Germans were very incensed at a map pubished by a Danish cartographer named Olsen where the territory was named Sønderjylland.

If one of these is a misspelling, you may want to blank that article and replace its contents with something like {{Db-g7|rationale=misspelled name}}. If it is an acceptable variant or a common misspelling, you may instead choose to replace it with a redirect to the preferred spelling.

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.

A tag has been placed on Ziadie family requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Toddst1 ( talk) 23:50, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

The witchcraft addition is good, but will need a source migrated across from the Helen Duncan article, or someone will revert it as unsourced. Britmax ( talk) 09:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
