- Thank you for your warm welcome. I hope this is not a stored template message. ;)
- In fact there is a question that has no answer. How would you explain quality content I see here albeit contibutions are kept anonymous!!
Its late, too many hours since I slept, and I'm feeling very blonde. What do you mean? Varga Mila 02:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I merged some of your useful additions to the AUC article with the main body, to make the article less choppy. I couldn't figure out the "AUC in the movies" section, however, and simply deleted it. If you bring it back, could you perhaps clarify it? In any case, thanks for the contributions, and keep at it! Erudy 17:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I've inducted everything of what you noted to me into the AUC page--mentioned New Cairo, lack of tenure track, changed the treatment of the Engineering programs, mentioned the High Board of Universities, and put in an entry on the movie, with your explanatory material...the two governance systems issue I think was expressed, in the first paragraph...
The sections issue I guess is a matter of aesthetic taste, perhaps. I think the article looks better--more professional, more reliable, less amatuerish--when there aren't alot of nearly empty sections. However, I also see the point of making clear where there are gaps of information which other contributors can fill in. I think the problem might be that on an article such as this it may take a long time to enlarge these sections, and in the meantime the credibility of the article suffers. Anyway, I put in some sections to break up what's becoming a larger article
On the La Caixa page, I just translated the stub from spanish; if you want to add more info, go right ahead--I'm no expert on the subject.
The interwiki question: the method I've seen is simply to treat the other language article like any other website. For example The Caixa article in Catalan
Tell me what you think, or just go ahead and make changes:) Erudy 15:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Please help on Ancient Egypt

I was hoping you could answer my question about one of your edits at Talk:Hermetica#Massive_deletion. Thanks in advance. - Jmabel | Talk 22:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Apologies! I did not mean to remove anything. Stormbay
Please read this comment on your recent activities. You are adding nonsense to Wikipedia. Just because something or someone was in Alexandria doesn't mean they are "ancient Egyptian wisdom"; and Lycophron is more purely Greek in culture than Ptolemy, who did use Babylonian -not Egyptian- observations.
Also, please read articles before you edit them; Lycophron didn't write scholia; his texts acquired (Byzantine) scholia. Septentrionalis 21:27, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Is this a legal threat? Septentrionalis 01:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I regret that you're having a hard time fitting in to WP. You are correct that POV doesn't mean erroneous;I wasn't using it to mean that, but begging the question.
Was there a coherent body of Ancient Egyptian Wisdom, mediated by the Greeks, and illuminating all later civilization? There is no consensus on that: many have thought so; some have denied it. Therefore we don't assume it in a category name (and in general we avoid fancy category names). Write an article, as Wetman suggested.
When you do, please don't include Greeks like Ptolemy and Lycophron, who had negligible connection with Egyptian culture; and do recognize that what Diogenes Laertius says about Hecataeus, or anyone else, is widely regarded as doubtful.
Regards, Septentrionalis 20:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Please consider the words on the bottom of your edit screen: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, do not submit it. And do read WP:SPAM#Internal_spamming; this is not done. Septentrionalis 20:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- Just use statements actually supported by Reliable secondary sources, that's all I ask. Articles can be moved. Septentrionalis 21:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Go ahead and have the Kybalion cat deleted. The Kybalion is a very small book, it doesnt need its own category. Zos 04:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
We need coders for the WikiProject Disambigation fixer. We need to make a program to make faster and easier the fixing of links. We will be happy if you could check the project. You can Help! -- Neo139 08:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, you've expressed an opinion in the deletion discussion of this article. I've recently suggested a compromise in hopes of improving the article while keeping both sides happy, and would appreciate if you could revisit the issue. Thanks. -- Wafulz 18:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum
Hi Connection,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in
United States legal articles to take a look at
WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
- Each casebook will have a subpage.
- Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
- It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{ anchors}} in Wikipedia ( example).
- Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
- I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.
What you can do now:
- 1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{ User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
- 2. If you're a law student,
- Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
- Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.
- (You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
- 3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 18:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Your comment that everything was true in Innocence of Muslims I do believe, at least within the opinion of some commentators (seems like there's always someone who says any given hadith was bogus), but finding sources to link them to the movie is another matter. If you happen to have some, by all means, at least post to the talk page where they are. Wnt ( talk) 21:08, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello and
welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to
sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. -- SineBot ( talk) 09:27, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
The Last Arietta. I noticed that you made a change to an article,
Sexual slavery, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to
include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks. TLA
