It doesn't go by when they married. This issue was discussed before. Look at Michelle Malkin and Sarah Palin. As her legal surname is Murdoch, I will change it back. ★ Dasani★ 20:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
I've moved descriptive statistics back to its proper title. "Statistics" is a singular noun when used in the sense in which is used here. I.e. one says "Statistics is..." not "Statistics are...." It is true that a different sense of the word exists, in which "statistic" is a singular noun whose plural is "statistics", but that is (obviously, I would have thought) not the sense in which the word is used here. It's as if "mathematics" were moved to "mathematic" on the theory that "mathematics" is the plural of "mathematic". Michael Hardy ( talk) 04:34, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your input regarding "notoriously unreliable" personal recounts of events used as references in Wikipedia pages. I have opened a discussion relative to a proposed amendment of the Death section of the Jocelyne Couture-Nowak page. You are more than welcome to provide feedback. just ( talk) 01:13, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that. I wondered why Ron relisted it after my withdrawal statement. Probably he just didn't notice.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 21:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello Lambiam, thanks for cleaning up the Signpost's interview. I just wanted to say don't go to too much trouble; what's there currently is little more than scribblings in the back of a refil pad – a long way from copyedit-worthy! Regards, Skomorokh 22:45, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
In light of your edit summary here please read WP:BLP. We cannot have unsourced contentious material in articles about living people, even if the subject is depicted positively. Hut 8.5 11:27, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Lambiam, you're right that this study is a perfect subject for the Signpost's "recent research" section (doubling as the Wikimedia Research Newsletter). Would you be interested in contributing a summary or review of the paper? (Usually around two paragraphs, should contain a clear description of methodology and results, sign up here.)
The research report only comes out once a month though, the next issue is planned for April 30. If someone would like to write a less academic note about the study for the "In the News" section, that would be fine too, and not preclude the later coverage in the research newsletter. On the other hand, it seems that there will be no "In the News" section this week at all due to lack of contributors, so that option is moot for now.

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Lambiam. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click

Saw your comment. Sorry that I misrepresented your position as noncommital. It was a pretty desperate argumentative tactic to say that everything's against my position when it wasn't, so I was doing a very quick read through to tally the yes/maybe/no's. I missed where you had committed to a side. Cheers. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 13:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear Lambiam, You left a question about the timeline of MF Global's demise at the Talk Page associated with that article. A timeline is available here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/janet-tavakoli/mf-global-jpmorgan-produc_b_1401059.html
More work could be done on the Missing Funds and Investigation section of that article if you have any interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.23.191.206 ( talk) 05:42, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Lambiam:
You indicated that you would vote to keep this article if I could provide independent, reliable sources.
The article was renamed Ayres-Warr model and shows up much better in a Google search.

I don't know what you were doing with those widths, but it was a total stuff-up! I ask seriously: Are you a vandal? Or have I merely stumbled on bonafide improvements before they are complete? If the latter is the case, then you need to put out an "inuse" banner while you are doing the improvements. And don't leave the page until you have checked that they actually worked.

On 10 June 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the Swedish hymn En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt is used both as a summer hymn and for funerals, but is rarely sung in its entirety? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Lambian, thank you so much for doing the DYK for En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt - what a lovely surprise! I had considered it but decided against for the same reason as you during the AfD - kind of hubristic, huh? - but delighted it's happened. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 08:25, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Lambiam, I agree with you that Arabic transliterations need to be done in as consistent of a manner as possible. Still, were you aware that the Alwattan party itself spells its name is "Alwattan" on its own website? BTW, in case you might have any further comments on this question, I've started a discussion on the Alwattan Party's talk page about the party's name spelling. Thanks, Scott Scott P.
