Thank you for supporting my nomination till the end. I'm sorry that so much of what you've seen of Wikipedia so far has consisted of debates and arguments. It really can be a very nice place to hang around - in fact most of it is, most of the time. I hope you'll keep contributing good articles like the one on that ineffable German city :) - Haukur Þorgeirsson 22:26, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
I just happened to read your essay... commentary... whatever and find myself absolutely agreeing with it, so I just wanted to tell you that if there are any discussions related to this where my vote might be needed, just tell me (in case I don't notice myself).

Depression and anxiety are extremely common comorbidities in chronic fatigue syndrome. I think it belongs in that section. A person scanning the article could easily miss it in the plethora of the other text. Rather than getting into a revert war, I'd like for you to consider this. DocJohnny 11:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. I guess I am used to a certain amount of redundancy in medical texts and articles, although I can see your point as well. I do still feel that it should be mentioned for the sake of clarity and have made the adjustment in the links that you suggested. Thank you for your input. I agree that definitions are the problem here. The syndrome and its sufferers are not aided much by all the acrimonious exchanges which I believe lie at their root in inaccuracies in language and the resultant misunderstanding of causality that it engenders. I look forward to future collaborations. DocJohnny 11:14, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I did not have any dealing with User:CDThieme except one run-in in a voting procedure, where he strangely voted an oppose to a renaming procedure, which is still running. because of his vote, my proposal is going to be ruined now Talk:Abul-Qassim Khoei.

ps: hey cool, thanks for helping me out on that vote, really appreciate it.
I think I understand what you were saying about the Babel templates now. I decided to put up a language list, and only at the last minute did I spot one for Old Norse. I didn't have time to rewrite them. Another user pointed out that they were badly written, which is what he thought you meant. So I have rewritten them. Wighson 06:40, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
That is a very beautiful vellum. It is great how many resources such as this have been uploaded to the internet; now anyone can look at them without having to travel or put on those little white gloves. You pose some very interesting questions. I moved the page to comply with efforts to standardize spelling. Personally, I prefer to leave off strong endings and diacriticals in English (to yield "Egil Skallagrimsson"), but that is not the proposed standard. I am not a palaeographer and I have no idea what the statistical average of "sonr" would be. Thus I was using only the standard reference work. I didn't think I would bother anyone by the move, but then again I could be wrong. I'll try to look at the discussion page and see if anyone prefered "son." Wighson 00:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I just left a note at Talk:Egill Skallagrímssonr inviting anyone to move it back. I can't decide either, and you made a very good point. Wighson 01:00, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for improving my hasty English version of that page, which I made haste to make after seeing it turn up on AfD. I learned after Googling the name of the waterfall that foss is "waterfall" rather than "ravine" or "rapids", which was my impression. By all means look at the history and see if there is something I blew or something important I left out. Smerdis of Tlön 05:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey Edinborgarstefan, can you point me to the discussion where ppl discussed whether it was Brunswick or Braunschweig? I changed it to Brunswick last time because the people on the [ [2]] asked me to. I did bring it up on the talk page, where I didn't get a definitive answer (and only one reply). The naming convention on the geographical pages is a mess actually. It's strange that we have the article on the city and region at "Braunschweig" but the article for the state is at Brunswick-Lüneburg. Borisblue 15:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Today three weeks have passed since I was granted access to the administrator toolbox. During this time I have made use of it in the following way:
I've found that the rollback tool is much more useful than I'd thought for vandalism patrol. In fact it makes that task so easy that I've been doing it more than before. On the other hand I've been surprised by how little the blocking tool is needed. Having done a significant amount of vandalism patrol I have still only blocked one solitary vandal. The great majority of addresses which send out a vandal edit do so only once. Those who do it more often usually stop after a warning or two. Only rarely is a block actually needed and in those cases someone usually beats me to it.
As a side note I haven't retired from writing articles either. I'm still hoping to bring Freyr up to featured status but even though I've already performed more edits on it than on Hrafnkels saga back in the day, a lot of work remains to be done. Community expectations for featured articles have gone up and so have my own ambitions. I'm currently waiting for a couple of books I ordered to arrive and then I may be able to make the final push.
I'm trying my best to live up to the trust you showed in me by supporting my RFA. If ever you feel uncertain whether I'm using the admin tools in the best interests of the project, let me know. I am at any time willing to relinquish the mop and reapply for it to address concerns people have and ensure that I'm not using the admin tools without being trusted to do so.

I am not an administrator so my method of moving these articles around may not have been correct. But Strasse des 17 Juni is the better version because: 1.

I see you started a move request to get Wilhelmstrasse moved to Wilhelmstraße, where I would say it belongs. Do you think it would be possible to have a more general vote covering all German and Austrian street names ending in "-straße", to decide whether they should be spelt with -ss- or -ß-? Or would that be seen as undermining the more general ß policy (or lack thereof)? It seems silly to have many small votes (and I see you've been involved in several, er…, discussions about this recently), when we could have one larger one and have done with it. I deliberately exclude Switzerland, where the spelling rules are different. What do you think? -- Stemonitis 08:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Would such a tag be appropriate on the article about Kemal Attaturk? If so, will you do so? Dr. Dan 15:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC) When you have time of course.
Now I'm really confused. You know nothing about Lithuanian, yet you put up the IPA tags in several articles. You say you know nothing about the Turkish language, and this is why you can't put up the same tag on Attaturk. So what gives, or what's the difference? Dr. Dan 20:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Firstly thanks for the thankes. But don't mind to adjust any mistakes or inconvenient collocations of anything. I'm not a linguist myself, and what I know about Icelandic IPA transcription is actually a "collage" of things I have seen in many places and that I think suit better to what I occasionally hear when I'm lucky enough to hear Icelandic being spoken. I actually know much less than I seem to. For example, the question about the Great Vowel Shift: I actually know almost nothing about the subject, and it was mostly a wild guess of what it could have been. So we'd better leave Icelandic unchanged in the article and wait for someone with better experience adjust it.
Finally, I would like to thank you for helping me learn a bit more of Icelandic phonology (which by the way deserves an article).

And apology would also be nice

Last two links I gave you are actualy scaned original writings of Draskovic from back in the day.I dont know how can you say that Kurir aint reliable when it sells daily more then your whole countries population.Anyways,analize last two links and you ll see that its just scaned original.

Why did you move this article without any discussion on its talk page? This is not acceptable conduct on your part. Pages should not be moved unilaterally without discussion. Also, your move violates the guidelines in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English), which states: Article titles should use the Latin alphabet, not any other alphabets or other writing systems such as syllabaries or Chinese characters. However, any non-Latin-alphabet native name should be given within the first line of the article (with a Latin-alphabet transliteration if the English name does not correspond to a transliteration of the native name). Also, a non-Latin-alphabet redirect could be created to link to the actual Latin-alphabet-titled article. In addition, official policy on Wikipedia:Naming conventions states: Generally, article naming should prefer to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize. My original choice of article name and redirect was carefully chosen to abide by both the official policy and the guideline. You have chosen to violate them, unilaterally and with no discussion. Why?
Your reasoning, as listed in the edit summary, says that this is "in line with other Icelandic articles". But that is irrelevant. He is known worldwide as Sigurdur Thorarinsson, and only so, not by the proper Icelandic spelling of Sigurður Þórarinsson. The biggest problem of all is that the characters "ð" and "Þ" do not render properly in older browsers, if I view the page in a 2002 version of Internet Explorer, it is now a complete mess due to your changes. Many people around the world continue to use older computers and outdated software out of necessity or poverty, and it is important to support them.
You have made a number of other changes to the article which are completely wrong. The name listed on his PhD thesis is Sigurdur Thorarinsson, not Sigurður Þórarinsson. I have a copy of his thesis in front of me right now, but you certainly do not . . . so why did you change the author? In addition, the overwhelming majority of his published work has the name spelled as Sigurdur Thorarinsson. In a bibliography, is not correct to change the author's name to a different one than listed on the original paper or book.
At least you should have had the courtesy to post a question on Talk:Sigurdur Thorarinsson (and on my talk page too, as I am the creator of that page) prior to taking any unilateral actions. -- Seattle Skier (talk) 07:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Dear Stefán, I don't think that the removal is that good.

You obviously didnt look at the new sources I put there, which do prove Armenians are there over 4000 years. I did notice however only one of the sources was inaccurate, perhaps I'll remove that "one", which is inaccurate, it will leave with 5 accurate sources. 75.17.8.93 02:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
You know this part where it says --> "A competing view suggested by Thomas Gamkrelidze and Vyacheslav V. Ivanov in 1984 places the Proto-Indo-European homeland in the Armenian Highland". This is not without supporters first off, but Kuro-Araxes culture in the 3rd millenium BC had Indo-European presence located in modern Armenia. Not only that, but this is all backed up by "Ancient Records" identified with Armenians, not just the Armani record of 3rd millenium BC, but many other ones following this record, like Ermenen in the 2nd millenium BC, mentions by not one, but two Pharaohs in the 2nd millenium BC. Also, Xenophon, makes a powerful point that Armenian is like Persian, rather then his tongue Greek. So Herodotus was not referring to "all" Armenians there serving under Xerxes, at that time. There has been a lot of confusions of Armenian history. Its interesting we call ourselves Hay, and not Armenians, as Armen is also in the other Aryan-IE peoples names like in Persians and Germans, etc. 75.17.8.93 03:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
You didnt understand what I meant from Xenophon? I said since mainstream think Armenian is like Greek, (and no its not I know this by fact, cause I also know Persian, and even modern Persian is amazingly still very near), thats why I pointed out that this Greek historian was saying Armenian sounded like Persian. If it sounded like his native tongue, he would simply say Armenian is like Greek. You get why I mentioned that now? 75.17.8.93 03:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
All this confusion is from Herodotus and Urartu, I dont agree that Urartu was only Armenians, but populated by Armenians is true. Urartian actually migrated in that Iron Age, rather the mainstream western people think otherwise. I already mentioned the Indo-European(Aryan) presence in the Highlands, and all these Records from the ancient times. Its interesting the Akkadian record of Armani, also read Armanu, means apricot as they mentioned in the inscriptions. Something to do with apricot, and this is amazing cause, the Armenian fruit is apricot, like the main fruit. Just like Ararat is the main symbol for Armenia and Armenians. 75.17.8.93 03:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Did you read my further comments by the way? Im saying cause they only use Herodotus's quote of "Armenians armed liked the Phrygians", being Phrygian settlers. Whether this is referring to all Armenians or some is unclear. Obviously considering all the evidence, its some Armenians who at the time, were serving under Xerxes, and both of these people were armed similar. Doesnt mean we are from Balkans or Greek "type" language. In fact there is more similar words *laugh* with Persians and Greeks. 75.17.8.93 04:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Greek mitar Persian madar (mother) Armenian *laugh* mayr
Greek pitar Persian pedar (father) Armenian hayr (where is Armenian more similar to Greco-Armenian hypothesis??)
Greek germe Persian garme (warm) Armenian is jerme
Greek ofghanos Persian oghyanos (ocean) etc etc. 75.17.8.93 04:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
No, I was just stating that the mainstream view is inaccurate from this evidence. But you bring up an interesting point, and I like to respond to that. Germanic people as I stated above as Indo-Europeans(Aryans also), have the name Armen, Armin, Armanen, Ermen, etc too. In fact German, is from Hermann, or Army man(Arman or Armin). Keep in mind also that Armenians call themselves Hay, and not Armen or Armenians, even though we put the name Armen of course. Its interesting its also a Persian name Armin and Arman. Its cause were all Indo-European, we have a common link in the past. So, but to answer you on the mainstream issue, I was just stating those points to prove that Armenians were native, and there was misunderstanding of some of those Armenians who at the time were settling there in West Anatolia(or Thrace or whatever, these names dont even ring a bell in Armenians memory).<--mainstream assumptions that say we came from that place, which they think was are earlier homeland or something 75.17.8.93 04:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Did you read what I wrote ? 75.17.8.93 04:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
No I agree with you that its not about that, but its rather they are trying to put more similarity with Phrygians and Armenians, than to Persians, but they failed to do so, and you proved it. So its the "bold" I put which they think is what took place. 75.17.8.93 04:43, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok, so you think that what you mentioned above of Armenians, Persians, and Greeks having similar words, is not true then in all aspects? It is true that they are not similar in all ways, thats why I was trying to say the mainstream view is trying to stretch the idea that Armenian is "more" similar to Greek languages, rather then Persian etc. The linguists which I mentioned above dont agree with the Greek language "more" similar, but rather Indo-Iranian which branched out, which is what I see also. I have found over 100's of words which Persians have taken from us, and not the other way around. I dont want to get into this discussion its a long discussion (Ive been through this many times with others its long trust me), but basically Im saying we didnt migrate from Greek lands, for them to say were more like Greek languages, or culture etc. 75.17.8.93 06:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
