Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob ( talk) 23:35, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I did not know you could not nominate those with tags on top. I'll leave a note on the other 3 . they seem to be okay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tr33 swalow ( talk • contribs) 19:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Um, Jewish is an ethnicity as well as a religion, last I heard. The category in question is about people who are ethnically Jewish, but not religiously so. On that basis, please reconsider your oppose vote Purple backpack89 18:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah my bad, will keep that in mind, Cheers Randhir 12:09, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Hekerui. To answer your question, yes, I removed the "American businesspeople" category from Willie Mount. That category is grossly overpopulated and so broad that it's meaningless. In Mount's case this is a 24K byte article that includes the single following sentence about her business career: "She owned a small business and worked as a real estate agent and pharmaceutical representative for Lederle Laboratories." Mount did not create a notable American business, she is not notable as a businessperson, nor (based on the article) is her slight business experience even notable in her political career. With good humor, I stand by my edit. All best! -- Lockley ( talk) 17:54, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi. May I respectfully ask you to take another look at the site. The book on MS and Radha is not sold on this site. It is a book by Gowri Ramnarayan and the site simply refers the vistor to the home page of the Sruti magazine website if they are interested in the book. There is only one page in this site about the book. All the rest of the site is devoted to anecdotes, articles and pictures and recordings from private collections and family certainly content that would be of interest to wiki readers lookimg to learn more about MS. Sincerely VanDiyaDevan242 ( talk) 15:24, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Please see the thread below. Could I request you to add the link www.msstribute.com back to the M.S.Subbulakshmi external links?
"Thank you for deleting the spam link on this page. Was there a reason you did not add the link to www.msstribute.org? Please do take a look at this site. It has a lot of good information, pictures as well as articles and anecdotes by friends and family who knew MSS and musicians who accompanied her and would be a useful link to provide. VanDiyaDevan242 (talk) 13:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
After I completed your request for the M. S. Subbulakshmi article, another editor (User:Hekerui) conducted a cleanup of the external links of that page. You can ask him/her on their talk page why they removed it.

Thanks for your note. If you think it's intimidating to read and review the article, imagine slogging through a 480-page biography to write it! :) Hopefully, I can get the article to GA (for my Kentucky governors good topic) then to FA (to validate the ridiculous amount of reading I had to do).

Hi Hekerui. Thanks for the review of the Guy Bavli photos. The files are under a free media license, so I can probably get whatever is needed. Eclipsed ( talk) 08:51, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Hey there,
I understand being upset about this one being redirected (not merged). I felt that this was probably the best example of a D&D article written entirely from primary sources, and a sort of testament to the fact that it can be done. It's a lot harder work getting it done without any independent sources (you're missing compliments/criticism from outside people), but I feel it's still worthwhile to cover topics such as fictional characters, even if they do not meet the GNG and maybe never will. You did good work on Savras all the same, and I wondered why you never did that with any other articles, but it's not hard to understand considering that other people are always trying to impose the GNG on editors who like to work on ficitional character articles.
I know this editor previously merged nearly all of the Forgotten Realms characters into the List of Forgotten Realms characters; I think he handled that merge much better because he actually merged the content in manually. I don't know why he did not do that with the various deity articles this time. Do you think it would be a good idea to have a page similar to that list, to more properly merge the deities into?

For your humility, readiness to assume good faith, and willingness to defer your own interests to the interests of the larger project, I award you this barnstar. Neelix ( talk) 19:49, 15 October 2010 (UTC) |
Hekerui, you needed to explain yourself much better before you deleted all that material from the Jack Conway page. I'm not even sure what was meant by "rewrote badly formatted section for recentism", but please provide a more well thought out explanation if you think that material does not belong. I don't think you will win that argument, because the TV ad was easily one of the BIGGEST events of the campaign, if not the defining moment of the campaign, and I can provide lots of evidence to back this up, but you are free to let your opinions be known on the talk page. Regards, Thomas6274 ( talk) 14:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the congratulations. I'm planning to take it to FAC sometime after the first of the year. We're having a baby between now and then! :) Hopefully, I can get some closure on the image of G.B. Crittenden before the FAC. Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 18:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for moving Harriet up to Class C. If you have any suggestions for improvements to the article, please feel free to tell me. There is very little known about her, and the town historians and I have pooled what we have so far. Any suggestions are welcome. thanks. EraserGirl ( talk) 00:01, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I have seen the considerable amount of work you have put in on checking and amending the documentation of the many images in this article, and I am most grateful. Thank you very much. – Tim riley ( talk) 15:17, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Dude, what do I have to do to keep this picture? This picture is the public domain. The blogger has just as much right as I do to put it up. What do I have to do or say to make sure this image is legitimate?

Hi Hekerui, I have noticed that many of my pictures had been tagged or deleted for the lack of copyright permission. I have contacted the staff and webmaster of which the picture was taken from throught e-mail. They have replied to me that I can use the picture. However, it is in an e-mail form. So what should I do to prove that it the pictures has been given permission? Also, the e-mail was written in Thai. Thank you ( Nogia123 ( talk) 03:48, 9 November 2010 (UTC) )
Here it says "because it has been released into the public domain by a member of Congress."-- Jerzeykydd ( talk) 01:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
This United States Congress image is in the public domain in the US. This may be because it is an official congressional portrait, because it was taken by an official employee of the Congress, or because it has been released into the public domain by a member of Congress. |
If you don't stop deleting articles without discusion, I will report you.--

I enjoyed the cookies immensely - thank you! As of today, all U.S. Senators and Representatives, current and '-elect', have their CongLinks template filled out as completely as possible, in an effort to help constituents and journalists follow what these public servants are doing and saying. Almost all Reps have been formatted consistently, including their lede beginning with their position followed by their party affiliation - instead of the reverse as many were previously - to remind them they represent ALL their constituents, and their loyalty to their country comes before their loyalty to their party. Needless to say, I don't expect to see much difference in their behavior, but we'll see. ;-) Flatterworld ( talk) 00:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Well I would use Twinkle to make edit summaries to revert multiple edits, because sometimes it is very hard to revert multiple edits when a user has edited the page numerous times without using rollback. However my Twinkle has a glitch in it and no one seems to know the problem . Candy o32 13:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Hey Hekerui. I saw that you had taken at least a minor interest in
United States Senate Democratic primary election in Pennsylvania, 2010 at that article's talk page, and also saw on your user page that you review GA nominations. I wondered if perhaps you'd like to conduct the review for my GAN on the primary article? You had already pointed out some things that could use improvement (the lack of page numbers on the non-web news sources, which I plan to fix this weekend have fixed) so I thought you seemed perfect to give it a thorough review. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks! —

Thanks for correcting the many inaccuracies in when California legislators' terms in office begin and end. I couldn't help but notice that your edit summaries mostly refer to Article 2 of the California Constitution when in fact that relevant section is Article 4, Section 3.

I have already sent an e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org composing of the permission both in Thai and in English. However, I did not get any response from them. So is there any other way that I can do? Any suggestions? Thank you. ( Nogia123 ( talk) 11:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC))
Or is it possible if I can send you the permissions first as a proof that I did have a permission from the owner of the pictures? I really took alot of time and effort into this. Thanks ( Nogia123 ( talk) 11:04, 20 December 2010 (UTC))

Hello, Hekerui. You very kindly checked and, where necessary amended, the tagging on the images for Edward Elgar when that article was up for FAC. I now have one of his colleagues, Henry J. Wood at FAC, and there is a query about image tagging, on which - and indeed on any other aspect of the article - your guidance would be most gratefully appreciated. Tim riley ( talk) 12:50, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
What are you opposed to being removed? Because I honestly can see anything of consequence that's been removed. The years of service from Dymally and Curb are not included on any governor's page and this one week vacancy before Newsom takes office will be removed by everybody else as soon as it ends. I'm truly not following your firm opposition to standardizing the infobox and making it easier to read and edit. Therequiembellishere ( talk) 20:58, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if it's an old photo. The fact is that it was released into the public domain, and therefore a free image.-- Jerzeykydd ( talk) 17:02, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
