User:Kyriakos is working on a wikireader about 'Athens, history of a maor power in ancient Greece'. So far the topic has quite a lot to do with naval warfare. Would you be interested in helping with this task? Greetings Wandalstouring 11:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I believe Saul Rosen is definately more credible than such as Adam Rosen, Founder of the Miami Gay-Straight Alliance Corps, Facilitator of JCC Rainbow Fund, Axel Rosen, who doesn't even have a wikipedia page, Dan Rosen?, a few RABBIs... I'm just telling you how absurd it is how a multimillionare and one of the largest car firms in the UNITED STATES Cannot have his name listed in one of the famous rosens! 24.13.253.21 19:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC) www.rosenrosen.com

You were right about the "no personal attacks" policy, which I violated on the Elton John page. Thanks for reminding me. Keep up the good work! Also, would you like to guess what I stuck up my butt today? 172.162.2.155 11:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

No thanks. Given that I haven't reminded you about personal attacks or anything else, I think you're confusing me with someone who cares. Euryalus 11:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Good maintenance! Peterkingiron 22:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind response. I was not at all assuming bad faith in reverting the notability tag. I simply disagree as to the question of notability. Porteous was a viable candidate in a high-profile race; she was one of the first minor party candidates (along with Fiona Byrne in Marrickville) in state history to be given a chance of a lower house victory. A search of newspaper archive Factiva turns up quite a few more press mentions both in the context of that campaign and in her role as a councillor, and I'd argue that that criterion is met. Still, my view has no more merit than yours, so if you wish to seek a consensus for deletion, feel free. :) Rebecca 04:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

That is a great site! Vielen Dank! It always amazes me that Europeans seem to know more about our music that we do. Would you think about some text for that link such as "auf Deutsch" but has great photos even if you can't read German? I guess that's what the dt is? And so much other stuff! I will be back there! Steve Pastor 19:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. As I mentioned, LC Robson who was headmaster at the time (during the 1920s) struck Flynn's name from the official register. I formerly attended the school and worked in the school archives and there is photographic evidence of Flynn prior to his expulsion. Additionally, the story of Errol Flynn and the manner of his expulsion is one of the enduring school "legends" passed down from generation to generation (which is not difficult given that mayny sons follow their fathers and grand-fathers to the school, and cetain members of staff had been employed there for up to 40 years). Regrettably though, short of visiting the school archives, there is nothing I am going to be able to produce for Wikipedia.--Calabraxthis 11:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Subsequent to this, I have managed to find one reference to Errol Flynn attending the school. Please see the article in question. Kind regards. --Calabraxthis 12:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, please be careful when reverting vandalism, so that you don't revert to a vandalised version. I've reverted to the clean version. Cheers. – Chacor 11:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Just an FYI, Ronald McDonald wasn't really empty, but was instead a victim of page move vandalism combined with other vandalism edits. I've put everything back where it should be. -- Gogo Dodo 06:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: It was a little confusing. When you move a page, the edit history goes with it. So when Angelica Pickles (talk · contribs) moved it, the edit history went there. An anonymous IP came along and replaced the redirect with nonsense, another IP showed up and blanked the nonsense, MartinBot (talk · contribs) reverted that, and then you CSD tagged it. I'd point you to the history, but I had to delete it to move the article back to where it's supposed to be. If the page move was caught before the anonymous IPs came along, you would have been able to move it back, but since they changed something, it required intervention by an admin. So you could say that everything ended up just fine as your CSD tag caught an admin's attention which was going to be needed to put the page back where it's supposed to be. =) -- Gogo Dodo 17:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: If there haven't been any edits since the page move, you should be able to move the page back yourself over the redirect and then tag the resulting redirect at that bad name with {{

db-pagemove}}. In the Ronald McDonald case, leaving a note on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents would probably be the best solution. An admin should notice and move the page back where it belongs. -- Gogo Dodo

Naming conventions etc.

Although I'm a public servant - I don't know if the official name of all government agencies in New South Wales is "NSW XXXX", but in the case of the Housing Department, it is. I went to their website and looked around - it is what is on their logo and their pamphlets etc. Happens that the Premier's Department is becoming a bit more fussy about common look and feel to web-pages, branding and so on - so it may be that in the near future "every" government agency rebrands as "NSW XXXXX".

AFAIK, in the near future, all NSW government agency websites are going to end up looking a lot more like the State Government portal.

The relevant section of the

. This in turn says:Generally, article naming should prefer to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. has a bit to say about pre-disambiguation.

I would be happy to see redirects exist with article names like

).

I created the AHO redirect, in the absence of "anything else". You are definately correct that they are a different agency, and they are one I have no knowledge of whatsoever. In fact, my work started by moving Housing Commission (New South Wales) and then I noticed the redlinks at the list of... article. I did this because it was relevant for another article I was working on, Blackett, New South Wales.

I don't have anything against redlinks, and try (as a public servant I see a

) not to edit articles related to NSW government agencies. But in this case, I didn't want to link the article I was working on to a historically named article - so I fixed it by moving the article to the current offical name.

Hope that clears everything up for you?Garrie 05:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

PS. Does the NSW Dept of Housing not service clients of ATSI background? It amazes me how these things (affirmative action etc) are not wiped out as being discriminatory, I mean I would think that for a government agency such as the AHO to not service me because I'm not an aboriginal seems bizarre.Garrie 05:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I am not vandalising. I came across this article while doing legitimate research, and I have never seen anything as preposterous in my life. It should be removed from the webiste.

Euryalus, I have left a comment on this user's talk page about nominating for speedy G1 (nonsense), as I got a message form the IP first. I also added the date and time of the IP's comment for you! :) -- Stwalkerster talk 13:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Verification for the source is needed. Refresh you memory with Wikipedia's standards on verifiability. Thanks and have a fabulous afternoon.

The claim this a popular book is referenced with a link to a newspaper column which supports it. The link satisfies

WP:V

for what is an uncontroversial claim (that a book by Dr Seuss is popular among children and young people). I do not believe that additional sources are required beyond the one already given.

If you wish to tag a statement as requiring additonal sources, you should generally use the {{fact]] tag. Please also sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~. Thanks. Euryalus 21:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a work IP address and over 300 people work in this office using the same network IP. It is highly unlikely that whoever did the vandalism will actually view the talk page. I only checked because of the new message icon. It's likely to have been vandalised as this office is based less than five minutes away from Silsden 82.47.247.163 14:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

If you are going to alter this article, please check the sources for the various statements before you do so, as some of those you did alter have been altered so they are no longer actually true. If you can't view the sources, then please don't alter the page.

Hi, thanks for your help with reverting the vandalism. This whole subject matter is quite contentious and prone to some very disruptive editing. --Rocksanddirt 17:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, not sure how to mail you direct, and sorry for any problems, but as a member of the Second Battle Group and a military employee at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst i can catagoricaly state that the Second Battle Group have never been used in any format here at the Academy. After reciveing a complaint from a member of staff, that the RMAS is mentioned on the SBG page i have deemed it justifiable to remove the incorrect comments. If you could help me in this matter that would be appreciated.

Many Thanks Turley 504
