Someone's a 'holic... :) — La Pianista ( T• C• S) 16:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Have an unyielding beer on me.
Let the amber nectar flow all day and night. Let it run down the mountains and through the caverns and across the rich lawns to swamp the streets. Let it rain beer. Let the heavens open and shine forth beer. Let it all be beer. Wonderful beer. And let it be as deep as the heart of a lion. This is an acknowledgment of your participation in the RfA of: SilkTork * YES!. 19:12, 1 December 2008 (UTC) |
I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" for taking the time and effort to participate in my recent RfA. As you may know, the discussion closed 66/0/1 and I'm now a holder of the mop. I will keep working to improve the encyclopedia and appreciate the trust which you have placed in me. - Dravecky ( talk) 00:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

So when are you working on that article? I pinky promise that I will edit that article a little more. Last on the briollete of India, only 28% of that article was helped by me (lol) -- Spittle spat 02:37, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, Thanks for your comments on this article. I've now fixed the inline references problem by adding detailed references from Lecomte, and will shortly be adding references from Huguet to complement Lecomte's. I don't expect these additional references to affect the basic footnote structure I now have in place. Djwilms ( talk) 04:55, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

It was the winter; Alex and Jayden loved to have snowball fights. Some of the other neighborhood kids, Nathan and Joseph, also loved to play with the two. It was always an equal team and everybody was good sports. The adults would walk by laughing as Nathan creamed Alex on the face with a big snowball or when Jayden would throw snowballs at Joseph and Nathan’s fort until it fell down. Every week the four would play and laugh as the snowballs whizzed here and there. Every week the adults would walk by chortling, and every week a kid called Tom would sit on a bench watching and enjoy the snowball fight, as if he was watching TV. Then one week Alex got very sick. He could not come to the big snowball fight. The group was very sad and began walking home, when Nathan spotted Tom. Nathan asked eagerly if he wanted to play, maybe if he did they could continue there snowball fun. Tom looked at Nathan and shyly said, “Yes!” The group cheered and as Tom joined Jayden’s team they had one of the best snowball fights ever. Boy, if only Alex was there, but wait when Alex recovers from his sickness and the teams are unequal, and then what will they do? The next week the group of five sat down and talked about the teams. Then a young teenager walked by, hearing there conversation, and then answering, “I’d love to play, may I join?!” Without another word the group said, “Yes!”-- Spittle spat 01:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! after you marked that Valery Kobelev passed DYK somebody just removed it. I dont understand anything about this. Do you? The Rolling Camel ( talk) 14:53, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'd just like to let you know what the template {{
DYKsug}}
was just updated with a new feature: now, for all DYK nominations that include only one article, it auto-generates the credit templates ({{
DYKmake}}
and {{
DYKnom}}
), which the person moving the hook to Next may simply cut and past from T:TDYK directly into next. This only happens with single-article nominations; if the nomination has more than one article, there will be a message in the template saying "Credits must be done manually by the person moving this nomination to Next" or something like that. It will probably be a few days before you start seeing the auto-generated credit templates, since the template was only just updated and only the new nominations will reflect it; the first several times you see auto-generated credit templates, you may want to double-check the nom as you are promoting it, just to make sure the credits are correct.
There have been some other minor changes—mainly, now if a DYK nominator lists himself as both "creator/expander" and "nominator," the "nominator" field ends up blank (so that what gets displayed is "Created by
User, self nom" rather than "Created by
User, nominated by
User." Also, the fields, |collaborator=
, |collaborator2=
, and |collaborator3=
have been replaced with the more intuitive |creator2=
, |creator3=
, and |creator4=
.
Please let me know if you experience any problems with the new template. — Politizer talk/ contribs 15:31, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

There is nothing biased or OR about the statements given, the government policy has been implemented, if you don't belive me here is a reference that backs up the claim [1]. I will cite the statement that confirms it so you could find it in the ref Sri Lanka’s defence ministry had decided in October to stop revealing daily casualty figures, saying they would affect military operations. If you would check I belive you could find on other sites something similar said. I will reinsert the paragraph you removed with this reference. I don't know about Sri Lankan media, and I have not heard anything about government websites giving the numbers. All of the numbers given by Reuters, BBC, CNN, AP and AFP in the alst two months have been based on reports by tamilnet. The military has just only started again to give sporadic reports of their casualties in the last 10 days since the LTTE started claiming massive SLA casualties about a week ago. Again the reports are only sporadic so they could counter the LTTE's claims of massive casualties (such is the propaganda war), but in November there was almost not even one report by the government itself in the international media on the number of dead, the only numbers were given by the LTTE. I am willing for a compromise, let's put this reference now that confirms the stop to revealing military dead, and you give me the URL of the website you say is giving the number of killed and will insert it too and I'll check out what those numbers are that are claimed by the government website and put them in the article, but I would prefer that the website is in English because I don't speak Sri Lankan, as I also belive that most of the other readers of Wikipedia don't speak Sri Lankan too, after all this is the english-speaking Wikipedia, no offense I hope. In any case, will wait for your reply. Cheers! 89.216.235.147 ( talk) 07:12, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
