Why have you blanked all articles you created about Charles Memminger? Charles Memminger is the correct place for the info, and the redirects you made were correct. If you want to retract them, please add a speedy deletion tag to the page and explain that you want to have it deleted (as the sole editor). Thank you! Mgm|(talk) 11:06, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)
Damn. I was hoping nobody would notice.
I deleted the articles because I screwed up. After writing a nice article on Christopher Memminger, I listed it under the name Charles Memminger. I realized my mistake after only a few minutes and moved the article (and redirects) to the correct spot. MK2 11:10, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Anti Sikh riots
You italicized the entire 'incident' part of the Anti-Sikh Riots. Actually the 'incident' which I have written is not exactly the same as the Kristalnacht 1984 report. My writings are based on a newspaper report which in turn based on the Kristalnacht 1984 report. If u can somehow get the exact copy of this report please put it on the page. bye gaurav Gaurav1146 10:10, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Sorry. My mistake. I thought the paragraph I italicized was an excerpt from the source you mentioned. MK2 18:18, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Survivor: Palau
Sorry about editing over your work! My local CBS affiliate showed the show an hour late due to the presidential press conference, and it took me a while to get the table done. :( Mo0[talk] 02:49, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- No problem. I was surprised to see I was the first to make the other edits. I did put back in part of what I had previously written - I think Stephenie's threat as a competitor was as important a factor as her former tribal membership in the decision to vote her out. MK2 02:51, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
lots of edits, not an admin
Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 18:21, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you for the interest, but I don't see it as something I'd want to do. I don't have the expertise to handle technical issues and I don't have the patience to handle personal disputes. MK2 15:00, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits...
Thanks for your edits on the Steven Barnes bit I did... I see I need to do a little more proofreading of my contributions in the future. Thanks again.
Edit summary
Hello. Please remember to always provide an
]Sources for Gretchen Phillips
Hello, good work on
- Personally, I usually only provide cites when I'm posting something that's likely to be disputed. I suppose I could find a cite for the fact that Gretchen Phillips was born in Galveston, Texas, but I haven't seen anyone question this fact. So I would just be looking around to any reference that lists her birthplace, find that all of them give the same information, and then arbitrarily picking one as a "cite". That seems a little pointless. MK2 03:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Lincoln cent
You're probably right. The cent article needs to be a broader overview. JonMoore 19:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Wikicity
Hey you seem like a Harry Turtledove fan, wondering if you would like to help out on the Harry Turtledove wikicity. Your help would be appreciated. Raylan 03:53, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Steven Barnes
In case you were still wondering, Steven Barnes has worked extensively with both Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. Basique 02:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Bobbits
Uh, everything else aside, go consult a dictionary.
--Jerzy•t 06:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, technically, Bobbitt was a victim of a penectomy not castration. But realistically, who says the word penectomy in normal usage? Other than that, what were your problems? MK2 06:37, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
