Hello whoever you are. The reason it was copied and pasted was because I wanted to do a outline of what it should look like and come back and edit it. I did it out of boredom and to also state more information about MY Alma mater, my school. IDK if u went their but obviously their isn't enough information about how great our school is or what we do. So take your college education from Truman and shove it because you have no life if all you do is spend time reading what other people do. I hope your resolution is to get a life in 2012.

Dear Moonraker, thank you for your personal welcome to Wikipedia. I get very warm vibes of sympathy from you (at least I hope so), and my feeling is reciprocal. From what you say about your spelling preferences, you must certainly know what it is like to try and defend a long-standing, traditional spelling practice against the roller of the pensée unique that stems from sadly prevalent ignorance. I've had a look at your interests, and I see even even more points in common. Your interest in exonyms (another endangered species) is certainly shared. Very best wishes, Cumæus ( talk) 00:52, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Apart from the fact that she attended the Guildhall School (which I've added, but slightly too early in the article I now realise on second thoughts) I can find nothing useful about Miss Burrell, I'm sorry to say. The Musical Times doesn't say when she was at the GSM, but I imagine it would be in her late teens and early twenties. Tim riley ( talk) 11:42, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you have begun editing lots of musical theatre articles. Thanks for all of your contributions! Please see the Article structure page at WP:MUSICALS for some editing guidelines that musical theatre project members have suggested for these articles. For example, in cast lists, generally we do not list chorus roles, except that we list very famous people who were in a chorus, for example Binnie Hale in Houp La!. Please list the name of the character on the left, and the name of the actor on the right. Generally, we give only one cast list - if multiple casts were particularly notable, sometimes we make a table where we can efficiently add their names. See, for example, Carousel (musical). Otherwise, we mention the notable performers in the "Productions" section as part of the description of each major production. Let me know if you have any questions. Please also see the article called Edwardian musical comedy. You might like to join the WP:MUSICALS project. All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi again. In footnotes and references, the author name should be listed last name first. Titles of full-length works, like books and plays, go in italics, while titles of short works, like songs, sketches and the names of newspaper articles, go in double "quotes", like so: Billington, Michael. "Adams gives performance", The Times, 14 April 1992, pp. 27–29. See WP:MOSQUOTE. Please also see WP:REDLINK and WP:REPEATLINK. All the best, -- Ssilvers ( talk) 17:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Sure, you can raise issues like this at the talk page for WP:MUSICALS. The current guideline says: "Long, detailed descriptions of characters are not needed (unless necessary to convey the story-line). Rather at the first mention of an important character in the Synopsis, some effort should be made to convey the personality or characteristics of the character. If a story is complex and the characters confusing, then a list of principal characters may be given." (emphasis mine) See our Article Structure page.
Personally, as you may have guessed, I think it is and has been a capital idea to limit cast lists to principal roles (with significant solo singing or speaking) and notable choristers. This has been done in the vast majority of our 3,117 musical theatre articles. Lots of lines that are drawn on Wikipedia are subjective - that's why we are "editors": we are expected to make editorial decisions to present selected information of encyclopedic importance. This is, I think, an excellent extension of the basic principle of WP:NOT. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 22:28, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the "distractingly dainty" - DYK is not a good place for me to expound on my personal stylistic preferences. I did check for a NY Times obituary, but couldn't find it. I did however find 50 some articles (most being sold for $3 each!) that mention De Rosa. The first might be in 1919, and the last on May 24, 1945. Note that just because his name is in the paper and it's not an obit - doesn't mean that he was necessarily alive. A pure guess here - he should have had an obit in one of the NY papers, but maybe he died on an otherwise big news days - perhaps VJ Day. All the best in your quest.

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.
As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.
If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.
You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

I'm happy to discuss this subject until I bring you around on it, although I hope your comment on war was merely in jest. As of now, we have no article on Romanian or Moldovan villages (well, except the one you created, but we'll leave that aside for the moment); rather, the villages are mentioned in the articles on the parent communes and redirected to those articles. The idea is that when content is added on villages, it should be done as sections in the commune articles, rather than having them split off. A couple of examples: Coronini, Berzasca, Bazna. As for why this should be so:
I am the first to say we should have relevant content on Romanian villages. What we face, however, is a technical disagreement on how best to present the information. I hope I have begun to lay out an effective case for having villages accessed by redirect and merger and sectioning in one coherent article, as opposed to chopping them up into separate stubs. I'm familiar with the "all villages are notable" mantra, and in principle I agree, but it does not automatically follow that "all villages are notable enough for a separate article, regardless of all other considerations".
As for what ro.wiki does: well, that's more or less an example of how not to do things. They do indeed spread out content between Fundata, Brașov, Fundățica, Brașov, Șirnea, Brașov and the permanent shell article Comuna Fundata, Brașov, but there's really no logic to that.
At least we agree on Powell; it is indeed sad that neither men of his calibre nor those of (on the opposite end of the mainstream) Michael Foot still stride across the political stage. On at least two major issues ("Europe" and immigration), Powell seems oddly prophetic nowadays. - Biruitorul Talk 21:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

with regards to your recent edit to Walter Hungerford of Farleigh which added the article to Category:High Sheriffs of Wiltshire. Last year I was involved in a discussion about the difference between Sheriffs of a county and High Sheriffs. It turns out that until 1974 the office was known as Sheriff. It was renamed High Sheriff under the Local Government Act 1972 and became effective on 1 April 1974. So should we split the category into two with perhaps a subcategory of Sheriff for appointments before 1974? -- PBS ( talk) 13:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
oh dear... the discussion was closed and a solution came about, and now you've created another category. If you recall, the arguments for 'British unionism' was that the unionism in question was about British identity and unification with Britain. Even if I disagreed with this rationale (because I felt it excluded Irish unionists), I didn't feel that it should be broken up by sub-category - it is useful to have it all under one vein, as there is an interplay between the different strands of unionism. Can you tell me what your reasoning is?-- KarlB ( talk) 00:51, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

As I have indicated on the nom page, I now think the Ghulam Jilani Khan and Chand Bagh School articles are ready for DYK. I'd also like to bury the hatchet with you. I think the tone of a few of my comments on the nom page was inappropriate. Here's my view of how the argument went. The first couple of times I looked at the articles, I stopped as soon as I came across something that I thought meant the articles weren't ready and did not look any further. I suppose this created the impression I was merely trying to find reasons to exclude the nomination. I absolutely was not. I still maintain that articles could not be featured on DYK at the time, because they made extensive use of unreliable sources. When you then accused me of acting in bad faith (by saying that I was evading some issue or playing games), I became pretty vexed. That's why I wrote a couple of things I now regret. I hope you accept my apology and also accept that (except for those outbursts) I was trying to enforce my understanding of what the requirements for a page to be featured on DYK are.-- Carabinieri ( talk) 21:17, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

My name is Fred DeRosa; Eugene DeRosa was my uncle; Felix was my father. He worked with Eugene from 1925 to 1929 and then sold insurance for Prudential untl the war came). To my knowledge, your article on Eugene contains some errors.
One fact that you included was that he arrived at Ellis Island in 1894. I have documentation that he, Jerry, and their mother arrived in 1897. However, I have been unable to find anything on the arrival of my grandfather. While clearly he arrived before my grandmother and uncles, I'm intrigued by your date of 1894. Can you tell me where you found that information?
Also, there were six children: Eugene (1889), Jerry (1891), Felix (1898), Vincent (1900?), John (1905), and Sylvia (1907).
Also, I'm almost certain that he did not depart for Europe after the 1929 Crash. I do know that he lived for awhile with my Aunt Sylvia and in an apartment somewhere in the New York area. I'll see both my DeRosa first cousins this summer; they'll know.
I'm very eager to hear any information that you can share with me.

Hi, Thanks for editing my wiki page (Dominic Cazenove) to (hopefully) prevent me falling foul of deletion! I have made one more tiny edit (changed the character name for my part in 'Londynczycy') as it was incorrect on the source website you referenced. Thanks again...hopefully I won't need to edit my own page again as my agent is interested on keeping an eye on her clients pages on wikipedia in the near future.

Hi Moonraker,
I'm a newbie to Wikipedia from Iran. I've just created a Wikipedia article for Iranian award-winning journalist Kourosh Ziabari and intend to create articles for other Iranian journalists. But unfortunately, this Wikipedia entry doesn't appear on the first page of Google search results when I search Kourosh Ziabari's name in Google. What's the solution? May you help me with solving the problem?
Thank you very much. -- ZahraKazemi ( talk) 08:46, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

What a pleasant surprise to find this new article. Hall houses. An early Christmas present!
Over at Little Moreton Hall we have been pushing for a FA and it merit a visit. One of the wiki-lacuna was an authoritative article on screens passage , the link of which results in a redirect so I see common interest there.
It is early days yet- but I was struck by the brief discussion of infill in the later alterations section. Harrison, Ray (1999). Earth: The Conservation and repair of Bowhill Exeter:Working with Cob. English Heritage Research Transactions. Vol. 3. English Heritage. ISBN 1-873936 64 8. deals with infills in some depth and indeed their example looks to have started as a hall house- generally infill was done with what ever material was available locally- in Essex it was brick in Cheshire mud (cob) and in York wattle and mud (daub).
I have put Hall houses on my watch list and will watch with interest.-- ClemRutter ( talk) 11:17, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 14:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
