*I really don't mind how people choose to Talk to me, though I do think that to make a discussion easier to follow, it's best to keep it '''in one place'''. |

*Likewise, '''if you leave me a message''' here, I will answer here - and if I think it's likely you may not be watching this page, I'll leave you a {{tl|Talkback}} message on your own Talk page. |

Having just deleted Hoërskool Sentraal I found that the better format for the db-template is the direct interlanguage link, i.e. af:Hoërskool Sentraal; using the URL, it is unrecognized by the software in the db template making a red link to an article by the URL name, and the dropdown deletion menu provides an automatially formatted link to the foreign article using doubled brackets, calling for such an interlanguage link. Real A2s (the majority I see are misplaced, tagging article that just happen to be foreign but having no actual existing foreign article) are relatively rare so this is new to me too:-)--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 12:13, 2 January 2011 (UTC) |
|||
:Yeah, I was still trying to get the format right when it was deleted :-) I'm not sure what dropdown menu you mean, though - I use Twinkle, which doesn't have them. It looks like the correct format was <nowiki>{{db-a2|source=af:Hoërskool Sentraal}}</nowiki> - though I expect I'll have forgotten that next time I find a genuine A2! -- [[User:Boing! said Zebedee|Boing! said Zebedee]] ([[User talk:Boing! said Zebedee|talk]]) 12:20, 2 January 2011 (UTC) |

::Oh, in the deletion interface, there's a dropdown menu where you can choose the reason you are deleting (see [[MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown]]). It automatically formats a reason based on the deletion template used as well, which here led to "<code><nowiki>[[WP:CSD#A2|A2]]: Article in a foreign language that [[:http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho%C3%ABrskool_Sentraal|exists]] on another project</nowiki></code>".--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 13:02, 2 January 2011 (UTC) |

== Bukowski was not Polish == |
|||
[[Charles Bukowski|Bukowski]] was not Polish. His father was not Polish-American, so enough already. Anyone who claims that Charles Bukowski's father is Polish-Americans is guilty of WIKI Vandalism. [[User:MULLINAXPLEASANTS|MULLINAXPLEASANTS]] ([[User talk:MULLINAXPLEASANTS|talk]]) 12:18, 2 January 2011 (UTC) |
|||
:Hi. I wasn't saying he's Polish - I was saying that a) we don't need excessive details about his grandparents, and b) you should not add anything that is unsourced. And being factually incorrect is NOT vandalism - if you have a content dispute, please take it to the article Talk page. -- [[User:Boing! said Zebedee|Boing! said Zebedee]] ([[User talk:Boing! said Zebedee|talk]]) 12:23, 2 January 2011 (UTC) |
|||
== Bukowski's heritage == |
|||
The Sounes biography LOCKED IN THE ARMS OF A CRAZY LIFE clearly states on page 7 that Bukowki's father was a German-American and that both of Bukowski's paternal grandparents were German. Does this bother you? |
|||
In HAM ON RYE Bukowski himself writes that his father was a German-American, on pages 10 and 11. Does this annoy you? |
|||
You do not seem to mind the other references in the article to Bukowski's being a German-American, so why are you so insistent on claiming that Bukowski's father was either Polish-American or just American? |
|||
If you continue to VANDALIZE the Bukowski article by calling Bukowski's father Polish-American, or DELETING the PROVEN references to his GERMAN ancestry, then I will have to report you to WIKIPEDIA. Thank you, kind Sir, and have a good day! [[User:MULLINAXPLEASANTS|MULLINAXPLEASANTS]] ([[User talk:MULLINAXPLEASANTS|talk]]) 05:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC) |

:Let me don my new Christmas tracksuit, ruffle up my hair, and in my best Scouse accent - Calm down, Calm down! |
|||
:Come on dude, I've never mentioned "Polish" - all I did was change the description of his dad from "German-American soldier" to "American serviceman" because that's what the sources in the article which I checked say, and I explained why on your Talk page in a civil manner. If that's wrong and you have a better source, that's fine - but you need to discuss it on the Talk page rather than edit-warring and screaming and shouting on people's Talk pages. -- [[User:Boing! said Zebedee|Boing! said Zebedee]] ([[User talk:Boing! said Zebedee|talk]]) 11:20, 3 January 2011 (UTC) |

== Matteo Babini == |
|||
Hi Boing! I’ve corrected again a sentence of the article [[Matteo Babini]] you had copy-edited, in order to remove the template “who?” and to conform it more precisely to Merelli’s statement. This is the new text: “ According to Giovanni Morelli,[4] Babini's repertoire developed following his stays in Paris during the crucial moments of the [[French Revolution]], in the years 1787-9, and in 1792, and shifted towards the new-fashioned historical drama and the [[Rousseau]] [[monodrama]] [[cantata]], especially Pimmalione, which he performed around the major Italian theatres with a huge success.” I wonder if you could be so kind as to copy-edit it again. Thank you very much. --[[User:Jeanambr|Jeanambr]] ([[User talk:Jeanambr|talk]]) 18:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC) |

You might like to delete [[:Category:Kent based rhythm & blues band]] that was created by {{user|CCNew}} as part of their 'spamming'. They even reverted the spam template I put on it!

has resurfaced and been blocked again. [[Portree Youth League]] was the article this time. Two teams in it... Just letting you know to be alert in the run-up to February 11th, when the League opens its season. Or so it said. Is he really a very determined 8 yr old or a sock of someone very devious?
