Hello. I have removed the image associated with an award granted by you to User:BetacommandBot on 20 January 2008.

Speedy deletion of Boy Krazy
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Goochelaar (talk) 21:48, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, your amendment to the article asserts that Playa Giron is outside Bahia de Cochinos. In all the maps and documents I've seen, that is not the case. I plan to reverse your change within 24 hours, unless you can provide a source or convincing rationale.PeterWD (talk) 08:33, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi PeterWD -- in your note you said "Hi, your amendment to the article asserts that Playa Giron is outside Bahia de Cochinos. In all the maps and documents I've seen, that is not the case. I plan to reverse your change within 24 hours, unless you can provide a source or convincing rationale.". This map [1] shows that it's just outside the bay, though I can see how some might disagree. Maybe "at the mouth of the bay" might describe this more accurately. Feel free to change it to whatever sounds best. -Rolypolyman (talk) 19:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that; I am familiar with the map you cited. I think it comes down to the definition of a bay - one simplistic definition in Wiktionary is 3/4 surrounded by land. If we count the reefs as 'land', Giron beach is just about where the definition ends, so your new suggestion is probably the best we are going to get.

It was notable in the respect it was an unprecedented infection and was cited the New York Times, Chicago Sun Times or Tribune, and in a bioterrorism paper (which I failed to add). I can add those if it helps. However if you and others think it's questionable and it warrants a speedy delete, I totally respect that. I am replying on your page too as I don't understand Wikipedia messaging protocols very well and am not sure that you are monitoring my own talk space for changes. -Rolypolyman (talk) 20:58, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Dear, many thanks for your contributions regarding aviation in the former Soviet Union. You appear to have good sources! Allow me to suggest: you could do worse things than to create an article regarding the Arctic Control Group OGA, a division of the Russian/Soviet air force tasked with keeping the air bases in the far North up and running. Not always an easy task, one imagines. Kindly yours, Jan olieslagers (talk) 12:00, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, Jan olieslagers, unfortunately almost nothing about it has been published in English, and it would require a native Russian speaker going into original source material. Unfortunately I'm not one. Maybe if something is published about it on Russian Wikipedia it can be translated over. -Rolypolyman (talk) 22:27, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

Hi there! I see you created File:UnitedStatesPowerGrid.jpg and released it into the public domain. I'm curious what method you used to create this file, and whether you still have the original files you used to create it? It would be better as an SVG image. I am happy to do the conversion.
