Cat and subcat
Hi. I'm contacting you as an administrator. I found tha all or almost all of the articles in the category International Trade Stubs are also in the category International Trade. However, International Trade Stubs is a subcat of International Trade. Is this a problem? Thanks--达伟 (talk) 20:29, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know...but as a general rule, are there are any guidelines I should be aware of, with respect to overlapping categories or anything like that? Thank you--达伟 (talk) 08:32, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Great. Makes sense. So what you said about Category:International Trade and Category:International Trade Stubs is something of an exception?--达伟 (talk) 09:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Excellent. Thanks for the information. That helps a great deal. I hope you don't mind me being chatty--do you live in Cambridge bay? I'm an American but I'm extremely keen on Canada and love learning more about its geography. Until a few minutes ago I knew nothing about Nunavut geography but now I know about Victoria Island and Ellesmere and Baffin Island. Is Cambridge Bay located on the "mainland" of North America?--达伟 (talk) 10:21, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. That's cold! Nunavut is really fascinating. You must like it otherwise you'd leave? It's so unique...and it's the size of Western Europe! According to Wikipedia, flights from your side of Nunavut to the capital are $2200! Will air travel be expanded in the future? Also, it's quite interesting that the capital was founded as an American airbase in 1942.

I will try not to take up much more of your time. I imagine things must be expensive, kind of like Alaska (as far as I know). In towns in the low-population central belt of the US, and in southern Canada -- for example New Mexico where I've lived before -- prices are low, but when you get to be rather isolated geographically (no offense), I guess the costs really go up. I looked up Ulukhaktok, and it seems you have the most northerly golf course in the world, and many of the town's inhabitants are descended from a Danish explorer. Not bad :) How much Inuktitut do you speak? Do you mind if I contact you for time to time with questions about Canada? If you have a busy life please don't hesitate to say no! --达伟 (talk) 11:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Deh Cho BridgeWiki
I recently became somewhat interested in the Deh Cho Bridge project, and spent some time trying to figure out the various bits of the agreement. I set up a little wiki site to help organize things for myself, and I'm doing some cleanup in hopes that it might be useful for others. I put a link to the site into the Deh Cho Bridge article, but I've temporarily reverted it out again (here). I'd like to have someone else add it back in to avoid any conflicts.
Perhaps you could swing by the article and re-enable the link? Thanks. NorthernRaven (talk) 04:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

- Add up the cm or the mm manually and then convert. Peter Horn User talk 17:32, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- The person who drew up the chart was "full of prunes". I only get a total of 42 cm (16.5 in) or 420 mm (16.54 in) for the year. Double check my arithmetic, Crete#Climate 17:49, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- The revers: 19.3 in (49 cm) or 19.29 in (490 mm) as well as 16.5 in (42 cm) or 16.54 in (420 mm). The source table is a royal foul up. Peter Horn User talk 19:24, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, I forgot. 19.6 in (49.8 cm) or 19.6 in (498 mm). template:convert works just fine, it is the source table that is in ludicrous error. Peter Horn User talk 19:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Trouble Down Under
Your Grace, the minions are squabbling again. Sadly, a small group of what appears to be New Zealand based article owners have planted their national flag here: Russell Crowe [1]. Well meaning, foreign crusaders for truth are quickly identified and their edits reverted into oblivion. I pray that you will, as time allows, visit said article and liberate her from the death grip of the Kiwis. As always, I remain your most humble servant, Eudemis (talk) 02:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- It is entirely improper to try and raise support by canvassing in this manner. And you are entirely all wet, I am not a New Zealand based editor, I live in the United States, and your continually stating I have ownership issues is a personal attack that simply must stop.

Why I Changed My Username
I want to tell you the truth about why I changed my username from User:Bowei Huang to User:A1DF67. But there is a problem. The problem is that if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. I mean, I don't think you would believe it. Nobody would believe it. I don't think anybody would believe it. If I told you it, you would probably think that I was making it up. I think that that is what you would think if I told you it. That is the problem. That is the reason why I didn't tell you the truth about why I did it before. That is the reason why I lied about it. Sorry. I should have told you the truth before. I should told you that before. It is very hard and difficult for me to explain it. I don't know how to explain it. I am afraid that if I told you it, you wouldn't believe it and nobody would believe it.

What I suggest you do is create an account for yourself, just you and not to be used by your department or anyone else that works for the company, but don't make the name anything like Play N Trade, see Wikipedia:Username policy#Company/group names for more information.

Russell Crowe
I appreciate your quick action to protect Russell Crowe to push the discussion to the talk page. As you can tell from there, there is now a clear consensus not to use the name of the other person involved in the lawsuit. Only one editor disagrees, and although he's been asked numerous times to make his case there (or on other relevant boards), he is refusing to do so. He's claiming that everyone who has commented on the matter is a meatpuppet, basically.
In any case, there's no longer any discussion over the matter, so there's no need to keep the page protected. As such, I'm requesting the unprotection of the page. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 01:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- This is patently false, of course, if you read through the talk page. Wildhartlivie has canvased everyone who weighed in on the issue- all supporting her. This vote stacking attempt included her friends Dayewalker, XLerate, MikeAllen, Victor9876, Nil Einne, CrohnieGal. After I exposed that they were all connected giving citations, they continued on as if in a few hours I would forget. [2] I asked if anyone in the room was not connected in some way to Wildhartlivie and outside her network, no one responded. Worse emboldened by her army of friends in the room, Wildhartlivie called me a "Dick". The others chimed in as well with varying levels of insults. I believe Wikipedia has an interest in enforcing its canvasing rules and putting this type of gang action to an end. If you will look, there was no neutral person in the room to discuss anything substantive (i.e. Wildhartlivie's reversions of my cited edits). If some poor soul ever did look into the talk room, they would never have felt free to comment. It's been a farce. Long, tedious yes, but I would encourage you to take a look. Thank you. Eudemis (talk) 03:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- You have absolutely no grounds to make canvassing accusations here and your attempts to attack every single editor who responded on that talk page is sufficiently severe to warrant action. You were guilty of unsoliticited canvassing to editors who you do not know and then you posted a RfC, where you have proceeded to attack every single editor who has responded. Your behavior is toxic and assaultive. You attempted to create connections between me and every editor who responded, even down to trying to prove a connection between me and an editor who posted once to WP:AN/I#User:Eudemis, personal_attacks, improper canvassing and edit warring for the evidence and do something about this editor? He even attacked an IP poster for being an IP. This has become untenable and yet, no one at AN/I seems to care enough to take action against this assaultive editor. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)]
- I understand that you consider this matter defused (and you're busy) but you mentioned that I, as I am the sole person on my side, had attacked someone. While the "personal attack" claims are made with virtually every post by the group of 7, I am curious as to anything personal or inappropriate I posted. Other than pointing out that everyone commenting was connected to Wildhartlivie. Any nucleus of friends can control each's pet article through cluttered talk pages, sheer numbers and personal attack claims. Nil Einne, the editor she's claiming she's not connected to, is related to XLerate [3]who is related to Wildhartlive[4]. Nil Einne entered with Xlerate and was canvased to support Wildhartlivie. It wasn't hard to figure out their connections. I can't see how Wikipedia would want Wildhartlivie with a disabled sock puppet [5] to control articles by sheer numbers this way.

Eudemis (talk) 03:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
- I am going to say this once, Eudemis, and then I expect you to stop. STOP ATTACKING ME. First of all, you keep finding obscure pages that mirror pages from Wikipedia. Those are frigging EVERYWHERE. I have never posted to the website http://www.theskyiscrape.com, that is a MIRROR site of a Wikipedia page. You are garnering NOTHING by continuing to hunt up your supposed connections. STOP trying to cast aspersions based on what you believe are connections. You cannot link me to Nil Einne. Your contentions are as specious as the connections you allegedly are finding. Sort of like when you claim you can link me to Nil Einne from a posting she made to Talk:Judy Garland 15 months after the last time I posted there. It means NOTHING. That two editors posted to a very long and drawn out discussion on Basically like Xlerate posting a response to a thread wherein I also posted, but she did so the next day and no one responded to it. That means NOTHING regarding anything you are trying to make it into. STOP IT. You have nothing to support your contention that ANYONE was canvassed to post on the Talk:Russell Crowe on my behalf and frankly, I'm sick and tired of your persistent attacks against editors. YOU were the one guilty of canvassing other editors to come in and support you. I posted NO request that anyone come in to post on the Crowe talk page, unlike you who did that exact thing. What YOU did was canvassing. If other editors come to that talk page from various points does not prove or support your bad faith accusation of canvassing on my part. STOP IT. I did nothing of the sort and you have nothing to support your bad faith accusations. What the hell is wrong with you that you feel the need to attack every editor that showed up on the Crowe talk page? WHAT makes you think, even for one second, that this sort of behavior is acceptable? You have NOTHING to support your bad faith attacks on, and it's far and away absolutely time for it to stop. I have no clue why administrators haven't taken you to task for your conduct, but it's frigging time for you to STOP. Oh, and for the record, I did my block time for the sock thing, and I submitted proof that I and the other editor are different and distinct people. There is no valid reason for me to be "run off" Wikipedia. You are reaching and launching attacks against me and I'm sick and tired of it and expect it to quit. Actually, I expect administrators to take you to task for your extremely poor conduct regarding this whole situation and I expect you to desist from attacking each and every editor who posted against you. What makes you think this is acceptable or appropriate conduct. I'm sick of it and I demand you desist from making attacks on me and the other editors on that page. There's something completely wrong with someone who spends his time searching out mirror sites and trying to use them to prove something. This is specious and horribly inappropriate attacks on various editors and your attacks MUST STOP. STOP IT. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, and in case you missed it, WP:CANVASS, after his own attempts of clearly obvious attempts to canvass support was exposed, and keeps running around the internet, posting links to pages that mirror pages on Wikipedia, and claiming that it is proof that editors routinely communicate in more than one place. And his continued assertions that Nil Einne and Xlerate are "proven" connected to me because I posted a response to Talk:Judy Garland in February 2008 and Nil Einne did the same, ONCE, in May 2009 to an entirely different thread. His continued attacks on me and on the other editors who responded to Eudemis's own RfC to Talk:Russell Crowe went over the line. Can someone please make this editor STOP attacking persons who respond to his own RfC and his specious accusations that I canvassed the responses has gone beyond the sublime into the clearly spiteful search for "proof" based on responses to talk page threads 15 months apart and his specious and unfounded accusations of improper canvassing simply have to stop. He's still carrying on and it's been days since this all started. Why won't administrators respond to Eudemis's blatant attacks to other editors? His crusade to undermine the consensus on his RfC is both bad faith and his continued attempts to stir trouble by attacking everyone who responded is incivil and quite disruptive. This needs to be stopped. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)]
- The problem with using WP:RfC/U. It's rather sad, and not just a little ironic, that all of his attacks were launched against editors who responded to the editor's own RfC on an article issue. It's intolerable. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:07, 11 April 2010 (UTC)]
- The problem with using
(OD) Everyone, I sincerely doubt CambridgeBayWeather appreciates this going on here on his talk page. Eudemis did make some out-of-line accusations of collusion, but the article is unprotected, and he seems to be respecting the consensus, so there's no other trouble for now. If anything else comes up in the future, it can be reported to the proper noticeboard but for now, I'd just advise everyone to let this one go and get back to editing. Dayewalker (talk) 22:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- In fact, after the first sentence of my post at 21:06 above, my post was to CambridgeBayWeather and the post I made just above the one by Dayewalker was directly a response to something CambridgeBayWeather posted to me from the 21:06 post and was directed to him.

What's Wrong?
Dear Mr. Cambridgebayweather, I would like to apologize if I angered you by my changing of the page. The part I changed was the route of a link, not deleting parts of the article, as you wrote on the Inukshuk history page. In the contex of the Inukshuk,the article was saying where Canadian Inukshuks were brought to other countries as a means of a gift. One of these places was to Washington D.C.. Rather than the link for D.C. to go to the D.C. page, I thought it more fit to redirect the link to go to the Canadian Embassy in D.C., where the actual statue is located. I did not delete any of the actual words on the article, as you wrote that I did on the Inukshuk history page. Again, sorry for any inconveniences, just please be more specific to what I did wrong, so that I work make such horrendous mistakes in the future.

Wudu
Hi- Why did you delete the section from Wudu? I believe you are in error.
Please do not try to make these changes because there are obviously three translations at the USC Quran source which you noted. Sunnis believe one is correct and Shias believe the other is correct. That is why there are 2 separate categories for the translation of that verse. You cannot combine them into one.
Thank you.
I agree- however it makes sense to include both versions of the translation of the Holy Quran. Not just one interpretation- because I think it is inaccurate to say that Shia Muslims agree with the translation that verse 5:6 says "wash" feet. If they did, there would not be a difference. Rather Shia Muslims go with the Shakir translation which says "wipe" feet. This is interpretation is root of disunity on the performance of wudu. Thus, both translations : Ali & Shakir should be included. I hope you see that minor ,but very important distinction.
Thank you, Valerie

Disruptive editing at this article
Hi there. Would you please be so kind and look thoroughly into this issue? There's an editor who keeps changing the type of album from "studio" to "demo" on this article. He has no reliable verifiable sources to back up his edits, he tried unsuccessfully to have the article deleted alltogether.
The editor has a long history of disruptive editing, blocks, topic bans etc. As his own account is already blemished as such, he basically has nothing to lose if he receives a further block for edit war. This is why I believe he is so adamant in continuing his reverts, wanting to engage me in an edit war.

A different question, amazingly enough...
I'm trying to remember, was it you who had expressed a concern to me way back when the Category:Communities in Canada tree was moved to Category:Settlements in Canada, regarding the fact that some places in the territories actually have "settlements" as their formal designation? For what it's worth, there's now a move discussion underway to propose the naming convention Category:Populated places in Canada instead; it looks likely to pass, thankfully.
Could you clarify for me whether we need to retain Category:Settlements in the Northwest Territories and Category:Settlements in Nunavut as subcategories of the new Category:Populated places in the Northwest Territories and Category:Populated places in Nunavut, once those are created? And if so, which places will need to be retained in the settlements categories? I've already established what needs to be filed where in the Yukon. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 02:46, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

- problematic edits from an IP range regarding (a) POV-pushing that presents Prescott and Russell as an independent country, and (b) weird and illogical ethnolinguistic creations, such as a fr:Liste de Canadiens anglais which includes the likes of Jack Anawak as, guess what, an "Anglo-Nunavois", and people like Jon Mirasty (who's Cree) and Agnes Martin (who's Fransaskois of some description, possibly even Métis) as Anglo-Saskatchewanais, can we please do an IP range block?
As frustrating as this is, I find some strange reassurance in the fact that other people have identified the same problems. Bearcat (talk) 18:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, as for the settlement categories I think that once the parent categories are switched over any leftover subcategories can probably just be speedy-moved or listed for discussion as needed. I haven't really given too much thought to metaorganizing the whole thing; I figured that once the stuff is switched over we can figure out if anything still needs to be changed once the basic structure's in place.

Page deletion/admin civility
I'd appreciate it if you'd be so good as to look over this exchange and let me know your view. Regards Redheylin (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- The assertion of notability (products reviewed in trade magazines, 50,000 google hits) WAS on the talk page. The article was deleted apparently without an answer on the talk page or my page and despite a hang-on notice. The policy that "the notability of a company need not be asserted in the article so long as it is verifiable" has been pointed out to the deleter, who is now ignoring requests to userfy the talk page so that the unanswered evidence may be examined. Redheylin (talk) 22:28, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

"The north wind blew, flakes of white settled on my shoulder. To cap it all, I've got dandruff..." Ah, so! Contradictory guidelines. Well, that explains everything about why the "hang-on" should be ignored, the request for userfication of the talk page ignored, the guideline should be ignored and my requests for guidance should be ignored for days before being told to "get lost", of course! And how long did it take you? Gosh. And there was I thinking someone was being incivil. You should be made an admin. A what, Henry? An admin, Min. Redheylin (talk) 23:27, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Practically, though, ought steps be taken to sort out the misleading guidelines? And may I refer the article to you when notability is established? Note: I have spent a good deal of time sorting out music technology articles - several thousand edits - and am in a position to know which important articles are missing. I'd like to be able to add them without disruption. A speedy delete was added to this article within seconds of the first save. I followed guidelines to the letter and stopped work till the matter was resolved. There was no attempt whatsoever to resolve it or even to contact me. It's not possible to work like this, especially if the guidelines are contradictory and admins delight in ignoring them anyway, refusing advice with abuse and discourtesy. I am not asking you to fix everything - but what to do? Redheylin (talk) 01:49, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
POV Tags
Hi CBW, My apologies for not responding directly sooner. Regarding the POV tag I elected to use at the Alexander Graham Bell page last week, I just wanted to mention that several brief attempts at discussion were made through the edit notes in the edit history log. Not sure exactly at 'what' point the POV tag went up, but I do know it did so when discussion was initiated in the discussion page. That was the first time I have ever used a POV and wanted to assure you that it was not used without any reservation. The issue began when an 'editor' whose name, 'gold coast surf', just appeared in the edit history of the last several days there, removed an image of Bell's telephone on a U.S. postage stamp, not because of its content, but because of its 'national origin' claiming that to include another image on the page from the U.S. would disturb the balance of neutrality, etc. I argued that the entire Bell article could be presented in a NPOV capacity even if the author(s) was from the U.S. and used only images from the U.S. I also took issue with the idea that if we were to establish such rigid rules of inclusion it seems it would force the removal of many images throughout Wikipedia as most of the pages have images from one country of origin. At least for myself, I thought the issue important enough to use the POV tag. Ultimately my request for mediation failed because the other party refused to participate, so I removed the POV and bowed out, as the three parties involved in the dispute were not from the US.
The whole issue was terribly divisive which is another reason why I pursued it no further. Ashes have since settled there and the image I included no longer remains. I make mention of this now as the issue involved a lengthy, unresolved dispute over something like national origin and that issues like this perhaps need to be addressed or reviewed by administrators and policy makers. -- May I also add that I seek no assistance in the past dispute, as it is quite over on that page. I could have easily solicited support by going straight to the Philately project with the news of what had happened, and why. Of greater importance here is that the disputed image was declined on the basis of national origin, in the name of balance, as if the entire page took on a completely different aspect upon inclusion of this one image. Its removal was based on an assumption such would have occurred. Again, I hope an issue like this will have at least been addressed among administrators when the chance presents itself in the future. All the best. GWillHickers (talk) 23:07, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Foreign vs. Exotic in Nanook
Hello CBW,
Saw your edit to Nanook of the North. I for one would vote for "exotic." "Foreign" is a word other Euro-Americans apply to one another -- the Brits to the Norwegians, the Americans to the Spanish, or the Germans to the Portuguese -- Foreigners are not necessarily "exotic." Whereas groups which, from the Euro-American view, are further flung -- the Eskimos, Hottentots, or Igorrotes -- are not only foreign but also exotic, of intrinsic interest for their seeming strangeness.

Thanks for taking care of the Sourisnaine talk page deletion. However, it appears that you may have overlooked this redirect, which was part of the WP:MFD request. Cheers, Ohconfucius ¡digame! 17:04, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Assistance
Hi! What is usually done with a cloud of sockpuppets (across several wikis, some as IPs, most as 'new users') of a banned user who blanks pages en masse, creates hoaxes, uploads cpvios to wikimedia, 'translates' content from enwiki to other languages without proper attribution (and nominates said content for featured content there), demands creation of new wikis claiming to be of a minority American group in one such case, and edits other people's user pages? Nearly all of this is related to Greenland, and is quite easy to see over time. This is of course getting quite tiresome at some point. Would you be willing to lend a hand? — Algkalv (talk) 12:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I'd like to do it now, as I won't have time later. Would the admin incidents page be fruitful? I'm asking, as I have already done this once on commons, in early May, but got zero response, although both the enwiki hoax and the cpvios were deleted. There is a lot more than this, this is just a sample. archive. So, which should I pick of those you quoted? And, what would be needed, a list of IPs and usernames and a list of diffs for each? There is a truckload of those. — Algkalv (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, but the WP:AN/I page states in bold that that board is only for English Wikipedia issues, and in a list below directs to sockpuppet investigations. This is a crosswiki issue. So, should I post there anyway? I just want to be extra sure before I post ;) — Algkalv (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2010 (UTC)]
- That's exactly the problem, the issues are cross-wiki. What should I do then? — Algkalv (talk) 18:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- Then it looks like nothing can be done globally. The vandal had everything I know of reverted already on en-wiki, so my post on the board would be ignored, I suppose. I think it's a 'hole in the system' that a problematic user and their sockpuppets can operate globally at will. I think that if someone is banned in X, this person should be bannaed at Y, for any Y!=X. Ok, then I'll drop it, and deal with the recent problems on relevant wikis, though I have better things to do than chase a troll. And thank you for many replies ;) — Algkalv (talk) 19:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you ;) Greenland-related pages have very few contributors (and watchers, and interested admins), and it gets very lonely there. It's good to have someone who is willing to help out with issues (though on the other hand, for the same reason these issues are relatively infrequent, apart from the main article about the country, which seems to attract people the same way as the main page about Inuit does). While I'm here, I'll say that I commiserate with the high flight prices you have to endure up there in CB ;) I once calculated what it would cost me to fly through the most important towns in Nunavut, and I came up with.... 30,000 NOK... I couldn't sleep afterwards :D — Algkalv (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
- Right, that goes to show that the only sensible route to Nunavut is through Greenland ;) The far south of Canada would be too hot anyway... Here is to hope that the Nuuk-Iqaluit route is opened for good. Strange though that one of the most expensive connection within Nunavut seems to be the Iqaluit-Rankin Inlet route (the loop through Resolute seems to be more theoretical than real), as if the two parts of Nunavut had little contact, and going through the far south was more common. — Algkalv (talk) 08:20, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

- (been away up north, so this is a delayed reply) I once attempted to draw an SVG of all relevant connections in Canada (ignoring the south, mostly), and came up with this, before I got seriously looped in Labrador and gave up ;) But still, it should be accurate and complete as of late last year regarding the north. What I'm after is not a transfer in Yellowknife, or at least, not both ways. Apart from a hop to Baffin Island from Greenland, I'm thinking of a twisted round-the-world itinerary which would be as far 'up there' as I can make it, hence my interest. There is a big gap northeast of Rankin Inlet, but otherwise possibilities there seem to be many. A once-weekly through Resolute sounds good, if only I could combine it with Nanisivik, for example. Strange that Repulse Bay is so isolated. Kugaaruk or Hall Beach are so 'close'... Eeh, a flight itinerary combining as many airports as possible in Nunavut would be just as good as a RTW ;) — Algkalv (talk) 17:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest - Question
I have read the article on Wikipedia's COI and had a question. If there is an article related to rules for a game that I created solely ( but did not create the article for as to per avoid COI ), what is the proper procedure for editing? If there is a rule that is incorrect, am I allowed to correct it? If so, where do I have to cite my COI? The article's talk page, or my user page, or both? Or do I have to make a suggestion to correct in the talk and wait for a non-COI user to make that edit by proxy if they feel it is up to standard? If I only modify existing entries with fact corrections (no promotion or controversy), am I within editor guidelines? BaShildy (talk) 01:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Why was the Captain Frank Pape page deleted? I own and operate IPSN.org, which is why I used content from that site to be placed on Wikipedia.

Geter Sheeted
I was wondering why you deleted the Geter Sheeted page. It's an actual phrase that people from 14 states use and its spreading to other states and countries thanks to future engineers. The phrase 'Geter Sheeted' is not in any way bad, its a better way of saying 'Git-R-Done', if I may say so myself.

Category mishap? I tagged some Inuit topics as Greenland-related simply because they are all under Category:Greenland; I'll review them and see which need to be untagged. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:58, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, the word "Inukophone" and the "fact" of Prescott and Russell joining the "municipality" of Upper Canada in 1820 were pretty much dead giveaways. Though, in truth, combing through his edit history I'm finding an unexpectedly large number of edits that actually aren't problematic at all — though of course the ones that are problems are whoppers.

Roman Rewald
I want to ask you why you deleted the chairman's profile of the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland. Could you please explain? I wrote to the talk page, but you never responded: Roman Rewald is the Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland and therefore should have his own Wikipedia page. This information can be researched by potential new members to the Chamber.

Banners
Hi. Could you have a look at the Ilulissat article? It's a page for a town, and has an entire section devoted to a conference, and a related political statement of 2008. The declaration has its own article. Someone is inserting and reinserting an annoying banner at the top of the page. I don't think city/town/settlement pages should be peppered with such banners unless it's a disambiguation. — Algkalv (talk) 12:46, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Standard for including Alberta in place name
Hello again. I hope it is not too much of a bother, but I was hoping you could chime in on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Alberta#Standard for including Alberta in place name, because it involves moves only an administrator can do, and none of the current commenters are admins. Thanks, 117Avenue (talk) 05:18, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
larnaca and pafos airport are on the greek side. so i dont see why they should have the turkish name for them. its mainly the greeks who use them. have you ever been the them both. as you walk in. they have the name in english and greek. not turkish. so stop what your doing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyprus10 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
