Thank you for contributing to Mícheál Ó Domhnaill. But please note that the text after the pipe ("|") in the category link should omit all diacritics, including fadas. This text is never displayed anywhere; rather, it's used to make the category sort correctly. Thanks again, and happy editing! -- Craig Stuntz 18:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Garion, could you take a look at Image:BullBaiting1.jpg? I notice there's a big watermark on the image that inclines me to think that it is mistagged. Thanks. ( → Netscott) 02:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you used a free photo of Stravinsky, which comes from http://www.loc.gov/rr/perform/guide/spcmus.html I wonder if the rest of the pictures there are also free. For example Aaron Copland's photo could be useful, as there is no picture of him in Wikipedia. Atavi 12:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Good evening, Garion96. Thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of (67/0/0)! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have suggestions or requests - either of an admin nature or otherwise! :) |

G'day Garion,
thanks for your message. In essence, what all y'all did was the right approach: try to keep it out, but if the other party wants an edit war, don't get sucked in — go and ask on WP:ANI or IRC or something for someone with the ability to intervene technically (such as an admin) to rush in and lay about him- (or her-) self with a two-handed broadsword ... or at least, a "protect article" button. Yeah. Cheers, fuddlemark ( befuddle me!) 16:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Garion96
Seeing your gallery ( [1]) and your comment in Commons:Help_desk, I notice that you do not categorize your images. All images at the Wikimedia Commons should be in a category, so that other users may find them. For example, Image:Mark Leno.jpg should be in Category:Politicians of the United States of America (or in the proper subcategory). Can you try to categorize your uploads? I you have any questions, feel free to ask me in my talk page.
Sincerely, Kjetil _r 18:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I moved it to George Lestrade because I felt it was more appropriate for a page to give a person's name than the person's title. As for "George", that was because the article stated his name to be George before I ever edited the page, and because I assumed that the information in the article was correct.
However, after you commented on my page, I became curious as to the source of the name "George", so I did a computerized search through the texts of all the original Sherlock Holmes stories and books by Arthur Conan Doyle. I do not know if Lestrade's name is ever given, but my search revealed that it was definitely not stated to be George, so that information is incorrect.
Furthermore, I searched through the page's history. The information was added by an anon, User:193.180.228.186, who first gave the name as Richard (see diff [2]) and then immediately changed the name to George (see diff [3]). This looks like subtle vandalism to me, and I have thus reverted the change and moved the page back to Inspector Lestrade. — Lowellian ( reply) 08:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the message - I looked and looked for instructions and could find none, so I will strike them from the list as I go. Categories are a weak spot for me, so I'm doing this work to get a better grasp of them. It's working - I think. Thanks again - Baseball,Baby! balls• strikes 19:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you changed List of Italian/Italian American Superheroes and Villians into a redirect. Why not simply delete it? The article history doesn't have to be saved (since the other one was started by the same editor) and nothing linked to the article. Garion96 (talk) 17:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Garion,
Thank you for your reply, and some of the tips, they've proven usefull.
Sorry for posting my question at the wrong place, the wikipedia special pages always confuse me somewhat ... Thank you for moving it.
Not sure if I'll be a "true" wikipedian, but I just discovered that "wiki-ing" in late, boring hours is pretty fun, and apearently there are many articles yet either uncreated or a stub

Thanks for your work on the uncategorised articles, really appreciated. I imagine there probably are only few uncategorised lists left anyway, so I won't update that list for a while. Martin 16:23, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you!! You have cheered me no end. I was feeling a little frustrated and all I needed were a few supportive words. Yes, the sources are kind of hard to find though I think IMDB is fairly reputable. A lot of their biographies are dodgy but I think they do very well with the basics. Most of the sources I've found by doing Google searches. I figure the New York Times is very reputable plus they seem to be big on obituaries, so I've been entering "name of person, new york times, aids" into Google and almost always get a result. Still takes a lot of time though. Thanks again. It's very late where I am, so I am calling it a day. BTW, I should have looked at the edit summaries before I started moaning about being the "only one" etc - I can see you've been busy here. Rossrs 17:24, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for explaining why you blanked Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elonka Dunin (2nd nomination). In this case, however, I disagree: Jimbo must have blanked Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Argento because the subject was deemed non-notable and the article was deleted (and that's not a good PR for him). In Elonka's case, however, she got overwhelming support for keeping the article and it was closed as keep. So in this case I don't see why the archived discussion should be blanked. Regards, Zoz (t) 23:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've made a proposal to change the software to prevent mainspace pages from being saved unless they contain a category. Since you've done a lot of work at User:Bluemoose/Uncategorised good articles, which would be affected by this proposal, I'd appreciate your thoughts! bd2412 T 23:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I've made a proposal here, and am seeking feedback. Best,-- Anthony Krupp 14:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Icrco was remove for possible copyright violation. Well I due hold the copyright permission to this material. I work for the company and was ask by my CEO to make this page. Please let me know if you have any questions. I’m new to this site so any help or recomemdations are very much appreciated. Thanks, Balmore —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Icrco06 ( talk • contribs) . 00:26, 9 August 2006
I received an email from the permissions folks and they asked that I clearly state that I was giving them freedom to use my material under the GFDL. I responded with that exact language. Do you know what the next step is? Can I go ahead and add material back to the group histories here on your site?

Hey, just wanted to apologize for my careless photo adding. I'll no longer add pictures to pages that already have one. Thanks for giving me notice of it. RattleandHum 11 August 2006
Thanks... looks like Samir got it. Nasty stuff. Jkelly 03:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Wait for Wikimedia's PR dept. for a second response, it may take up to a working day or two. Once you/him has received the email acknowledging that they have recorded the permission to license under GFDL, insert {{ confirmation}} into the article's talk page, remove the listing from WP:CP if you haven't done so yet, and the process is complete. - Cheers, Mailer Dia b lo 14:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I must offer my profound apologies. I realized after I clicked save page that my edit summary was rude and uncalled for. As to your points:
I, again, want to apologize for any offense that I caused. I actually enjoy watching articles evolve here at wikip and my overeaction was not necessary. MarnetteD | Talk 18:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
At Wikipedia_talk:List_guideline#Criteria Thanks! -- Anthony Krupp 00:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
In the normal article text I can see that all dates should be wikilinked. In the references however I found them to clutter up the section with all the different links. I removed them because because I didn't think they looked very good or served any purpose really. If someone wants to change them back I won't really care, but I prefer it like this. jaco♫ plane 19:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering why you removed the needsinfobox template from the article's talk page [4]. The article lacks a song or single infobox (not sure which one it is). Please respond why you did so. Thank you. -- Will Mak 050389 01:27, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
You're absolutely right, I don't know how I did that... Thanks again. -- Bobak 23:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Elsewhere it is common throughout the website.
Do you, in fact, somehow, dislike the earlier character?
Are you willing to come to any sort of compromise? Is there any middleground? Negotiate?
Hopiakuta 17:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, regarding your message on my talk. There was no need for those links. In the Muhammed Ali article there already was in the lead a link to Cassius Marcellus Clay (abolitionist). To have a special section on that seems excessive. The link you added in the Cassius Marcellus Clay (abolitionist) was in references, a link to a disambiguation page is not a reference. Plus there already was mention of Muhammed Ali in that article, including a link. Cheers, Garion96 (talk) 17:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I don't see it. Where, which paragrph, is " Cassius_Marcellus_Clay_(abolitionist)"? Could it be more prominent? I've located other issues, as well: What is "Style Orthodox"? And please look @: talk:Cassius Marcellus Clay; Cassius Marcellus Clay. Maybe: " Muhammad Ali", or " Muhammed Ali"? Ostensibly. Thank You. Hopiakuta 17:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Named Junior after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay. Ali later changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam and subsequently converted to orthodox Sunni Islam in 1975.

Hi Garion, I note an edit using your identity of 11.20 27 Aug to the article "Noel Gray" in which the words [reference needed] was replaced by {{ fact}}. Was this intentional or is someone hijacking your ID ? regards Geoffrey Wickham 05:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! Guinnog 14:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)} |
Hello Garion96, I was wondering if you could take a look at this image that's being used on the new anti-Semitism article and determine if it's fair use is disqualified as counterexample #4? Thanks. ( → Netscott) 19:18, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
