List of films with similar themes and release dates AfD
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 18:29, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
AFD relist (courtesy note)
Hi,
I've relisted Dudley (dog) (on which you recently voted) for AFD. I'm sorry for the almost immediate relist, the reason being, I was going to list it, and checking, found it had been recently listed. The relist is for two reasons:
- Per Wikipedia:Deletion policy "The most common reason for a repeat nomination is that there was marked lack of discussion or lack of consensus in the original decision and the second vote is required to clarify opinion." 4 editors in a 3-1 split isn't really sufficient to show a consensus by the community. It's worth a relist for more opinions.
- The real issue with this article, and the basis upon which it should have been listed for AFD, is lack of notability, rather than lack of verifiability. (Verifiability of existence of the term is easily confirmed via Google)
Again, apologies for the almost immediate relist; it's in fact completely independent of the first listing and for a completely different reason. Anyhow, a courtesy note so you are aware. FT2 (Talk | email) 12:02, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

From Fuck Director
Hey, I thought I'd give you a couple of notes on the "Uses of the Word in Movies" page. I don't want to go in and edit it, just to have it changed back. But I should be considered the ultimate source for this, as I created the film. It will be available on DVD on Feb 13th, 2006 and then anyone can see. Thanks!
1. The honest actual length of the film is 90 minutes. The earlier version of the film, shown at AFI Film Fest was 93 minutes. However that was almost the only screening of that version. But since the number was quoted a number of times on the web, the misconception persists. If you want the list to be correct, it should read 90 minutes.
2. Also, your note towards the bottom regarding the 629 uses in the AFI version is not correct. The film ALWAYS has had 800+ uses, what was wrong was the ON-SCREEN FILM GRAPHIC that quoted the number at 629. Again the issue was quickly resolved and the correct number put into the film. The same misconception exists as above. There is no need for the note as the film always had that number of fucks in it.

Hello
In response to your latest edit on the Kosovo article, may I remind you that consensus was reached on the language order, the same for the Kosovo template. As Serbian language is the official language in Serbia and Kosovo is a Serbian province, Serbian language should go first, regardless of the majority population. However, considering that most people in Kosovo speak Albanian, the Albanian name of Kosovo is right after the official, Serbian name. The version I have reverted to has been there for a long time, and the tension has died town significantly, even though it is a heated issue. I don't see why you would suddenly change that and support a disruptive edit by an annonimous editor who probably doesn't know about the consensus. Besides, I haven't seen you on Kosovo discussion page lately, and I would advise you to be careful when editing this very sensitive topic. Thank you :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 00:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- You are right, I shouldn't have written "vandalism" and I apologize. I didn't check the edit thoroughly and at first and assumed it was vandalism, but it was, as you stated, a case of misinformation. All the best, --GOD OF JUSTICE 01:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- I absolutely agree :)) --GOD OF JUSTICE 01:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
The HTML spaces in WP:AADD
... were added because the italicized "essay" followed by the non-italicized "on" looks like a single word, the space between them disappearing. With that added nbsp, the space looks normal. Hmmm... is this a difference in skins? I'm using plain vanilla Monobook, the default skin, and thus I suspect the one most commonly used. -- Ben 03:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Dear Ben, regarding the spaces I removed, the way you changed it, there appeared to be three spaces between "essay" and the next word on my screen. It looks normal with just one regular space. I am also using monobook, however. What browser are you using? Alternatively, we should ask some other people for their opinion on the talk page. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 07:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Firefox 2.0.0.1, with default sanserif font = Helvetica 16.
- Okay, here's a comparison table, last column forced into my default font:
essay_on separator | normal size | small text as in WP:AADD | small, default=Helvetica 16 |
---|---|---|---|
no space | ...of this essayon making solid... | ...of this essayon making solid... | ...of this essayon making solid... |
one normal space | ...of this essay on making solid... | ...of this essay on making solid... | ...of this essay on making solid... |
nbsp plus space | ...of this essay on making solid... | ...of this essay on making solid... | ...of this essay on making solid... |
space, nbsp, space | ...of this essay on making solid... | ...of this essay on making solid... | ...of this essay on making solid... |
- In the last column, you and I should be seeing the same thing. If the last two columns don't look alike to you, your browser uses a different default sanserif font, set in the "preferences"; please tell me what it is, and I'll try viewing the table that way. Thanks! -- Ben 12:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- One more thing: with my screen resolution, the small-text lower-case "o" (o) is only five pixels tall, the smallest still-legible size. I'm quite prepared to believe that the blame for the space disappearing between "essay" and "on" should be placed on my system/browser settings. If the text looks right to other people, I won't mess with it just to make it look right to me. -- Ben 12:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Dear Ben, thanks for going through the trouble. The two last columns indeed look different, but in both cases a space is clearly visible between "essay" and "on". For comparison, I included a row without a space to your table above.
- I am not sure which standard font I am looking at here, but...
- ...of this essay on making solid... (Helvetica)
- ...of this essay on making solid... (Arial)
- ...of this essay on making solid... (Times, only for comparison)
- ...of this essay on making solid... (Standard)
- ...from this small test, it looks like my standard font is Arial (which is the standard sans serif font for Windows and Internet Explorer). But as stated above, even with Helvetica, I am clearly seeing a space between "essay" and "on".
- Hope this helps, regards, --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 13:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- It does indeed, thanks! In Arial, the spacing looks right. I've changed my default sanserif to Arial, accordingly, and to make sure that what I write looks the same to other people as to me. IE has a large enough user base to be a good "target audience". Thanks again! (It's also just occurred to me that there are subtly different versions of "Helvetica" floating around, so we may still not be looking at the same font there! Aiiiii!) -- Ben 13:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

oldafdmulti Template
It looks fine. You might want to be a little clearer on the number choice. I just played around with it to see the variation, but was unsure of what I was doing based on the instruction. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 20:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

For the record, the article has already been through a Mediation proposal and RfC, it is all at the talk page archives.Paul111 19:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Mediation is voluntary, and the RfC did fail, since it attracted only one other editor in two weeks. Wikipedia discourages edit wars, but it doen't really have an alternative if two sides insist on different versions of an article, (except locking it, but that only delays things). That was the reason neither mediation nor an Rfc would work in this case anyway - mediation presupposes a common desire to reach a consensus, and there was none. As I said in the comment for FutPer, there is no point in further procedures.Paul111 20:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello
In regard to the map of Kosovo within Serbia in the Kosovo-InfoBox template, I would like to make a few comments. First of all, I am fully aware of the discussion about the topic. The previous map was the result of a concensus reached that Kosovo will be in a similar color as Serbia, but darker, while the border would be a dotted line. The only difference between the old map and my new map is that my map shows the entire Republic of Serbia, instead of just its southern part. This adds to the clarity of the article, since the map below also shows Serbia with Kosovo in Europe, while my map zooms the colored part in the map below and labels it. The size of Kosovo in the new map is exactly the same, so no harm is done to the resolution. To conclude, there is nothing in the map that is in conflict with the agreed solution in the many discussions on Kosovo's talk page. All the best, --GOD OF JUSTICE 00:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- OK, fair enough. :) --GOD OF JUSTICE 20:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Columbine Game
I don't really want to discuss it, and I won't be editing it, but you're really damaging the entry. I understand you may not have experience with the game, but in reality the game concerns itself with the lives and pasts of the killers as much as the event itself. To collapse a summation of the game into the shooting alone is to be either mistaken or obtuse.
To imply that the game is merely a "re-creation with high detail" of the shooting, that is dishonesty. The game looks at the lives of the killers before the event, the media the boys sought out, their alienation, the media circus the event sparked, and much more.
The game isn't about killing, as your edits would seem to skew it, but rather an attempt to understand and explain the events ('examine'). Remembering that the game culminates in the heaping of contempt upon all fools who see only what they want to see, who blot out reality for the convenient fantasy they anticipate or desire, I'm sure I can count on you for some sincerity in repairing the opening to the article you've damaged.DBaba 19:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Heavy Metals
According to Duffus 2002 the term "Heavy metals" has too many different meanings. Furthermoe, many people use the word in a wrong context: you will find thousands of papers where people write about "Heavy metals " and they include arsenic, antimony and aluminium - none of which is a heavy metal. To avoid confusion the term should be aoided.

Raynaud's disease/phenomenon
I'm curious as to why you keep adding the autoimmune disease category to these articles. The way I understand it from my own research and what my doctor told me when he was diagnosing me with it is that Raynaud's itself isn't an autoimmune disease. To be categorized as an autoimmune disease, the immune system must attack or destroy the patient's body tissue. This clearly isn't happening with Raynaud's. With Raynaud's, the vessels in the extremities are constricting to cold temperatures and causing a block of blood flow and, thus, oxygen to these areas. This isn't the body attacking itself, it's the body over-reacting to a single stimulus. Heat can undo the effects and the person is just as they were before the vessels constricted.
The symptoms associated with Raynaud's can be associated with autoimmune diseases and the patient must be examined to see if this is the case. This is called secondary Raynaud's, where Raynaud's is a symptom to an underlying autoimmune disease. While it can be a symptom of an autoimmune disease, it, in itself, is not one. I will remove the category for now as I disagree with its addition and kindly ask that you not re-add it until this is settled. I would like to hear your reasons behind adding it in. The category's name clearly indicates that it is for autoimmune diseases, not the symptoms of them. If you've got sources that say Raynaud's, by itself, is an autoimmune disease, I will leave it be. Placing it in a category that lists specific autoimmune diseases could raise unecessary alarm in readers and it would be best to avoid that at all costs.

- Twinkle isn't restricted to reverting vandalism. In fact, in the options, it's got a way to rollback an edit and label it as "good faith". The automated revert makes it easier and takes less time that reverting it manually. It doesn't even mention who the user was whose edit was reverted and it makes no reference to vandalism. Even if I had done it manually, my edit summary would have, at the very least, said "Revert" which is essentially what the edit summary that time said.
- The category is labelled as "autoimmune diseases" not "symptoms of autoimmune diseases" or "autoimmune diseases and diseases associated with them." It clearly makes the distinction that it should include the dieseases, but not necessarily the symptoms. That is my concern. It's not wide enough, it's too restricted. I'm not concerned with the other articles as I have very limited knowledge of them and wouldn't take them out of the category or leave it in because I do not feel confident I understand them well enough to say otherwise.
- I'm not even going to go in depth on that last paragraph you mentioned. Yes, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a doctor. But to be reliable, it must give reliable information. Putting it in a category named "autoimmune diseases" when it isn't one, goes against that idea. --pIrish talk, contribs 14:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- All right. I will agree to that. --pIrish talk, contribs 15:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

user Gon4z
Hi, I just want to let you know, that there has been trouble with user:Gon4z all over wikipedia for nationalistic editing- he usually pushes all numbers regarding Albania up and tries all the time to reduce the strength and power of Serbia and Greece. He showed a really nasty behaviour (insults, 3rr, edit war, unsourced material, user page vandalism, lies, and so on) at the Albanian Military articles ( i.e. Albanian Land Forces Command). Here you can see his talkpage before he blanked it: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Gon4z&oldid=128556210#Incorrect_Info.2F3RR_warning He got banned three times in a week for his actions and insults, but hasn’t learned his lesson, as his rude behaviour at the article “Serbian Air Force” and his increasing of all Muslim and Albanian numbers in all kind of articles on the Balkans show. If he insists to push his Albanian Billionaires or starts insulting you let me know and I will dig up the endless complaints about him in the administrator’s board to help you in case you wish to report him on the "Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents". Best Regards noclador 01:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- I reported Gon4z today to administrator Prodego as he had to deal with Gon4z more than once too. As Gon4z is currently editing unsourced material into articles and accuses anyone that does not agree of “vandalism” or “racism” I think a longer ban is required. You can find my report about Gon4z (and a list of “deeds”) to administrator Prodego here. If you have any negative experiences with Gon4z or an opinion to add I would welcome your contributions. Thanks and best regards noclador 01:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Heads up on "State Terrorism by United States"
Hey, just wanted to let you know that a brief vote on the "State Terrorism by the United States" page would be welcome. Just a "Keep" is all that's needed -- the nationalists on the page are taking an up-or-down vote on whether to rename it.
