as far as the news regarding Colin Thurston goes. I just heard about the announcement by John Taylor on Duran Duran's official site regarding his passing and I'm really wanting additional information as soon as possible. Thanks. ( Krushsister 03:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC))

I was / am 207.75.224.89. I made those edits before I realized I needed a login name.
What I did last year was try to bring together what, at the time, was obviously the work of various authors.
I provided citations for a couple of quotes. On further review, the John Conyers story comes from a dubious source, and we probably need to kill that section if we can't find a better source.

That comment about his poor presentational skills is actually sourceable to his colleagues. Although, since I looked over my notes and couldn't find an exact cite, I won't put it back in until I have a chance to review the source material again. Daniel Case 15:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree: this section is pointless, especially as the text of the article generally already stated whatever the squadron's mission is. -- Nick Dowling 07:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, me here again. I really need your assistance now, because Colin Thurston's recent passing (I know, it broke my heart into a billion little pieces once I found out) finally gave me the push to try to create a Wiki article for him. But my problem is, I don't have enough free time to devote to making such an article as kickass as it should be! So if you would, could you please help me out with this article? Thanks. BTW, I think it's awesome that you did up the article for John Foxx's The Golden Section. I f***ing love that album and am thus duly inspired to try out more of his solo material out.

An impressive expanding work! I just wanted to ask if you could mention the specific volume (and, if pertinent, the volume's title) used of the Units of the Royal Australian Air Force so I could add an ISBN for the book? Circeus 20:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
And while I'm at it, could you mention the specific author and section (with the page range of said section) cited in The Commanders? Since horner is an editor, it's very possible he didn't actually write the bit you arere ferencing from. Don't let yourself be put off by the template. I can always add it myself. I'd have done it myself if I could have located a table of contents. Circeus 20:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I'd just like to point out that this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Monty_Python%E2%80%99s_Life_of_Brian&action=history Has you mention that you fixed a fake assertion by myself. It might be a fake assertion, but it's not me who posted it, though! I posted the My So-Called Life/Life of Brian reference, which you can check by yourself on the MSCL page on Wikipedia. Just don't put credit where credit isn't due ;) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nao-cyna ( talk • contribs) 11:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

Thanks. I wasnt aware of the comparison between the Beatles and Python, so I had to look. Check out the second citation I added, the relevant paragraph is the last one. Derwig 17:50, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
While I agree with you that there is no "the" in the band's name, I think you have erred in removing so many instances of it as this is UK usage in a UK article. Please see my comment at Talk:Sex Pistols. Thanks. -- Guinnog 16:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for catching the quotations...or should I say, "lack of"..lol

Hi Ian Rose -
I'm not sure what I'm about to write here will make any sense, but I just tried to do a undo on Buddhism with an "RV" statement and, instead, I found you did the undo with the "Edit Summary" of "Rv a rather sweeping statement". I'm not sure if you somehow intercepted my undo but, in case (beyond my understanding) you did, I just want to point out that if you look at each of the edits made by User:81.157.146.166, you'll see that each of them attempts to delete references to Buddhism or otherwise debase Buddhism. Thus, I was going to undo this user's changes and leave a relevent warning on his page.
Of course, if your statement "Rv a rather sweeping statement" was not directed toward me, feel free to ignore this. Sorry for my confusion. :-) Thanks for any feedback, Larry Rosenfeld ( talk) 12:14, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
hey there, I've noticed you're a Python fan and have been working on some Python-related material here on Wiki. I thought I'd let you know that I have proposed a Wikiproject dedicated to Monty Python and would like you to show your interest. You can do that by adding your name under the interested user page on the proposal page. Fell free to leave comments there as well. Also I ask you to let any other users you know have been working on Python-related material about the proposal as well. I look forward to starting this project as soon as some interest shows itself. Gan fon 03:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Ian, Thanks for your article cleanup. at first I was alarmed at the changes since they were in huge edits and took some sorting through, but after reviewing them I was really happy you put in the time!
What are your thoughts on editing by section or by type (references in one edit, spelling / grammar in another, etc)? I feel like this would simplify sorting through the changes. Again, thanks for your contributions! Datapharmer 18:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:10SQN.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
In response to this message:
Hi Ian - thanks for getting in touch - I'm brand new to this and was just making my first tentative steps. I didn't even realise changes were flagged with the page owner!
Still stumbling and learning, so apologies if this is not the accepted way to contact you...

Thanks for uploading Image:Bowie DriveInSaturday.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Why should the refutation also be presented, that doesnt make any sense, what if there is no refutation at the moment. You are implying that unless the "theory" is shown to be inaccurate it may not be presented. Pubuman 11:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Please be aware that Shōko Nakagawa, one half of the "non-notable in Wiki terms" artists, is, it appears, in fact notable by Wiki standards. It was just linked wrongly, creating a redlink. However, I agree with your edit (as it was me who cited for fact in the first place, and because Katsuhiko was certainly not notable, except for appearing on this list). I tried and failed to find any internet reference to "Japanese Bowie" when I cited, so well done. Ref (chew) (do) 16:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I have tagged Image:300_spartans.jpeg as {{ no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 10:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your corrections to the Graham Kennedy page -
Mike Hamilton 17:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again,
Thanks for your note on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mikeham#Graham_Kennedy:
Hi Mike, on 11th May I believe you added a quote from Blundell's book under Benefactors, mentioning "$150,000 dollars". Is this superfluity ("$" as well as "dollars") a typo or an exact quote - in which case we should add "(sic)" after it? Cheers, Ian Rose 01:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Here's my source: the quote is verbatim from the 2003 edition of Blundell's book (Chapter 28, "A Shining Parade", p. 423, line 3):
"... to tell Sattler that $150,000 dollars had been deposited [...]"
I agree with you that "dollars" is (although common usage) superfluous. However - to me, at least - "$150,000 dollars" reads more smoothly than "$150,000 dollars (sic)" would.
There may be something in the Wiki Manual of Style stuff about currency issues, but a (very brief) check found nothing.
I'll leave it to you - will not revert you if you add the "sic" -unless I change my mind :-)
Kennedy's finances at the end of his life aren't clear. In his last years it seems that (a) he should have been, at the very least, comfortably well off; (b) and yet Sattler and Brown apparently paid for at least some of his care; (c) Sam Chisholm made a $150,000 gift; (d) Kennedy assumed that the Packer family would "look after him"; and (e) his will left a "seven-figure sum" - so, at least a million - to the Sydney Central Mission.
Much of that seems confused and contradictory.
Of course, to be added to the Wiki page, anything on the above would have to (a) be notable and (b) have references.
Thanks again,
Mike Hamilton 12:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the comment. I've had a look. Not sure what has happened to the references section; I didnt edit that or, at least, not intentionally. (I shall restore it in any case). As to information removed; I dont think I've removed anything of note. But if you disagree by all means do put back what you think is needed. Both this article and Edward II (especially that one) needed a lot of interesting but really rather superfluous material removing. (The articles would have lost the average reader). But one always cuts the odd bit or edits out something important when doing such an edit and if I have cut anything that needed to stay; I apologise. regards etc... Marcus22 20:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
