If you are here because I deleted an external link you are particularly fond of, it might be helpful to review WIkipedia policies and guidelines such as what Wikipedia is not, external links and how not to be a spammer. JonHarder 20:33, 29 September 2006 (UTC) |
Please explain what in the Source Technologies' page does not qualify it as a WP:CORP or WP:Sofware. Wikipedia says that "A company or corporation is notable if it meets any of the following criteria: The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself." Source Technologies meets this qualification...do you need proof of these publications?
Everything within the article is fact so I am not clear of the reasons why it is being considered for deletion. Please explain and I will improve the article and provide more information if necessary.

IMO you're going a bit revert-crazy, reverting everything I add to the list of monsters in Power Rangers, claiming that I am a "serial vandal". An AOL IP is a proxy IP, meaning that millions of users share the same IP, and of course, some will be vandals. But I don't think that you should revert everything posted by an AOL user because some AOL users are vandals. Think about this next time you revert the Power Rangers monsters page. Yes, Dragonzord really DID get trapped in an exploding web, if you don't believe me, check YouTube. Or better yet, here is a link to a picture.

Also, the Mantis could not have lost his honor, he had no honor, he said so himself. After Trini asked about the Mantis's honor when he summoned putties to fight Trini the Mantis replied "I'm one of Rita's monsters, I have no honor".
I seconded your prod of Augusoft. Reviewing the relevance of that article has been on my list of things to do for a while. I think it would be helpful to expand the reason beyond "nn-corp" because new editors may not know that notation. Maybe at the very least a link to WP:CORP. Just a thought.

This is not spam, these are relevant external links placed in only the appropriate topics. Note the inclusion of AppliedBiosystems.com, www.gene-quantification.info, www.ocimumbio.com, and www.Affymetrix.com ALL are similar resources to Applied Real-Time Genetics, LLC (www.artgenlabs.com).

Jon,
This is not a matter of spam. In an open discussion here, appliedbiosystems.com and artgenlabs.com are two worthy resources in the field of Q-PCR and RT-PCR. They have an excellent library of resource documents related to preparing cDNA and purified RNA samples for testing. Their services are groundbreaking and I would argue vehemently for the inclusion of both in several wiki topics.

Hi,
You remove CRPHealth.com from the link section of the "c-reactive protein" page. This link has been added as the same time than a huge chunk of information of the page added on June 9 2006 at 16:39. Maybe the link was in the wrong section (external links instead of references)... Also, from what I saw, it is NOT a commercial website (they does not sell anything, the content is free - after a registration, I agree but still, free - and have a patient and healthcare providers informational portal). Can I have your advice on the manner? Thanks. Eridanis 02:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi
I readded my site to one of the articles you removed it from(cornea transplant) since a quite extinguished member(AED) said it was appropriate in the discussion,also i just wanted to note that in the sex reassignment surgery article my link wasn't added by me ,but from another person(although anonimously).In all the others articles I will not readd it again.By the way in all the other articles I added relevant links from my site since their discussion seemed to be quite dead(I had previously asked for approval to add my site and noone replied),so i added my site and it case it would be removed I wouldn't add it again —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nfostiras ( talk • contribs) 22:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
About 2 and a half months ago i had i added my site to the same places you had it removed it from,the links stayed there for more than one and a half month since they were useful(although i hadn't asked permission)containing photo material hard to find anywhere else,but i also tried to add (persistantly since i thought a bot or something kept deleting it )one link to an acl reconstruction article ,there was a misunderstaing with the member which reported the link as blatant spam with no relevant content,I explained him the situation, and then he reasked my site to get unbanned so my I got my site once again unbanned As i told you before i wont add any links anymore,I will wait for discussion approval -- Nfostiras 08:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)nfostiras

No trouble at all, and thanks for letting me know :). I wasn't sure if speedy was qualified for if there was indeed some assertion of permission that just wasn't verifiable enough. Seraphimblade 23:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed the {{mergeto}} template from the Kensington Technology Group page, and then saw in the history that it was placed there by you. Sorry about that. My humble personal opinion is that it could probably stand on its own with some expansion, but I should not have removed the template without talking with you first. I respect your opinion, and if you decided to put it back on, I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that. Sorry again, Satori Son 01:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there,
Thanks for your assistance. The reason I have put my link there the third time because I was not sure who really has removed my link. Was that another user or was it really Wikipedia. I had added a perticular link on Digital camera and that was working fine for last few months. I have added one affialiate link yesterday and that was the time I think my site was identified as an affiliate website which it is not. I have removed the affiliate advertisement and I just wish to inform you that is not a personal website or any affialire website. Please give me your views as I think that the website www.compare-camera.com serves as a content based website which gives only information to the user about digital cameras.
I will make the changes on my website and will make sure it qualifies in future.
Looking forward for your response.
Regards,

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 66.93.251.126 01:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
You put a somewhat patronizing note on my talk page, implying that I was screwing around with the Freelancer article. I really think that page needs to be cleared up.
Anyway, I posted more details on my talk page, so please look at that also. And if you really thought I was screwing around, why didn't you remove the change I made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.198.150.147 ( talk • contribs) 06:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again for your kind comments in my request, I will stay as active reviewing external links as editing and as patrolling as an administrator, so hopefully we will be able to cross our paths again!

Regarding the A-WIT C STAMP entry in the Microcontroller page: Why did you delete my entry? It was not meant as commercial material, but as additional information. In fact, the style was patterned after other entries in that section. See the entries for "Comfile Technology Inc.", "Coridium ARMexpress", and all the others.

Hi Jon: I do not see why you have a problem with my putting up links to pictures of the things wikipedia has articles about. I did so after a friend noticed that there were already several references to me and my pictures and writings. And after I saw traffic on my website originating from wikipedia. As a total newcomer this week I am not aware of the protocols. Is it that I am doing it? Would it be valid if others did? it Or is it not to be done at all. Incidentally do you work for Wiki, or are you a volunteer? I guess I am curious how this came to your attention. George —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siamandas ( talk • contribs) 20:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough. I now know the rules. I thought that adding a link to images was an asset.
As a newcomer to Wikipedia I was confused by seeing 2 wiki article on my sites and thought it was wikipedia. Incidentally how did you know I was changing the entries?
I see you are into Mennonite studies. Did you at least look in my gallery on Steibach's Mennonite Heritage Village at http://manitoba.manitobaalive.com/mennonite_heritage_village/ and have you heard of my documentary on the "Mennonites of Manitoba?" winner of a gold Telly film award? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siamandas ( talk • contribs) 23:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, JonHarder! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, and try to reinsert the link again. If your link was genuine spam, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 13:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Jon not sure why you believe that the website (www.stockwrap.com) does not qualify under either the Technical Analysis Page or the Stock Software Page. I downloaded there software from a forum that I am a member of and believe it to be deserving of a link on these pages.
Have you actually checked the content on their wiki (wiki.stockwrap.com). It is more comprehensive on some topics than what wikipedia has. Furthermore, I think the users on Wikipedia deserve the best possible knowledge available on the internet.

I am requesting your help in making the Northkill Amish Settlement page more encyclopedic. Reidhoch 15:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Your comments on Talk:Comparison of content management systems regarding user 24.72.70.37 would be considered a personal attack and a violation of the no personal attacks policy. Your comments did not focus on the user's content, only on your attempt to discredit the user based on what you felt about the users affiliation. This conforms to one of the examples of a personal attack included in the policy. It would have been better to comment on the user's point of view and content than to try to discredit them based on what you believe their affiliation to be. WebCmsXpert 01:42, Nov 28, 2006 UTC
HI Jon - re Amish in the jungle pix - apologies for reverting before researching - that's never a good idea. I reversed my revert as soon as I saw what was up. But I do want to ask you a question: I understand WP:EL (although I think some other aspects of it are being over-prosecuted lately), but where it gets fuzzy to me is what if I, or some other editor, who have no connection whatever to the photographer, were to think that this link is a worthy one for the Amish page. If I add it to the page as an external link rather than the photogrpaher doing it, would that have been acceptable? I'd have to think about whether I think it is adding enough useful information before doing it, but I am curious about it on a policy level. Thanks Tvoz 23:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I notice that you deleted the page on Alpha Five on the grounds that it was advertising.
I respectfully disagree, but rather than get into a protracted back and forth about it can you let me have a version of the page that you have edited that meets your "no advertising" views.

It ssys the template will be removed until more discussion can take place. Honor the request rather than continuing to dictate what happens on this page. None of you are conscientious objectors, so what makes you an expert? I am tired of this endless dribble that goes nowhere.

Hello JohnHarder. I would like to ask you to remove the personal attack that you published on the talk page of CMS comparisons. My account is not 'banned' but was blocked unfairly by another administrator because it had an email address in it. This was done before there was any policy of not allowing email addresses, and was done with less than a week and a half notice. The official Wikipedia policy explicitly states that existing users are not to be blocked. That issue has been resolved, and my account no longer has an email address. Anyways, I consider that your response to my comment to be a personal attack (see no personal attacks policy) and would appreciate it if you could revert your comments. It is not acceptable to attack a person based on affiliation. Your comments did not respond to the content of the page but were clearly an attack against me based on your statements of my affiliation. Thank you. -- ShanM 15:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I've added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Philanthropist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Philanthropist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Sebastian (talk) 03:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jon,
I've just read your comments about my postings on Wikipedia. I appreciate that Wiki is not an advertising medium - however, I believe the postings were appropriate under the guidance. I note that all of our competitors are listed on Wiki and I was simply adding our name to the list in a similar fashion. For example, our software is used a lot as a flow diagramming tool - and for some reason we have been removed from the list of software that does this - not sure why? Our software not only allows people to create flow diagrams, but to also check the logic is consistent and correct - as a result, we are used a lot in academic circles to help work through problems.
I was particularly careful in the postings to be factual about the software. I'm not sure how information can be posted about our technology and still pass your test - can you please advise? Or at least say what you felt was wrong with my posts as opposed to those of our competitors?
I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Steve
Dear JonHarder, Your comments on the CO article look fine to me (an editor coming in from looking at the Wikiquette page); reasoned & dispassionate. The discussion has gone astray lately.

Hi JonHarder, if you really think that Russian Mennonites is a good fit for the Bolivian ones (they are Old Colony) I have no problem, lets put it. My initial idea was (and still is) to put a clickable note (not in external links but in notes) when the Mennonite article talks about South America in the same way that there is a clickable note about Mennonites in Canada when the article talks about North America. I can not see difference between both cases. If you do, please could you explain it to me? Apart from that, I know there is a PhD of Univ. Wisconsin-Madison named Kimberly Miller who did a one-year stay in Bolivia studying the Colonies. I'm trying to contact her in order to know if there is some of her work in the net because it would be very interesting also. Thanks Panex 21:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
You remove CRPHealth.com from the link section of the "c-reactive protein" page. This link has been added as the same time than a huge chunk of information of the page added on June 9 2006 at 16:39. Maybe the link was in the wrong section (external links instead of references)... Also, from what I saw, it is NOT a commercial website (they does not sell anything, the content is free - after a registration, I agree but still, free - and have a patient and healthcare providers informational portal). Can I have your advice on the manner? Thanks. Eridanis 02:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi
I readded my site to one of the articles you removed it from(cornea transplant) since a quite extinguished member(AED) said it was appropriate in the discussion,also i just wanted to note that in the sex reassignment surgery article my link wasn't added by me ,but from another person(although anonimously).In all the others articles I will not readd it again.By the way in all the other articles I added relevant links from my site since their discussion seemed to be quite dead(I had previously asked for approval to add my site and noone replied),so i added my site and it case it would be removed I wouldn't add it again —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nfostiras ( talk • contribs) 22:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
About 2 and a half months ago i had i added my site to the same places you had it removed it from,the links stayed there for more than one and a half month since they were useful(although i hadn't asked permission)containing photo material hard to find anywhere else,but i also tried to add (persistantly since i thought a bot or something kept deleting it )one link to an acl reconstruction article ,there was a misunderstaing with the member which reported the link as blatant spam with no relevant content,I explained him the situation, and then he reasked my site to get unbanned so my I got my site once again unbanned As i told you before i wont add any links anymore,I will wait for discussion approval -- Nfostiras 08:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)nfostiras
I just wanted to thank you for the Barnstar you gave me. Admittedly, I took a pretty Gordian Knot-esque approach to solving the problem but I suppose it couldn't be helped. Thanks again! Axem Titanium 23:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
No trouble at all, and thanks for letting me know :). I wasn't sure if speedy was qualified for if there was indeed some assertion of permission that just wasn't verifiable enough. Seraphimblade 23:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed the {{mergeto}} template from the Kensington Technology Group page, and then saw in the history that it was placed there by you. Sorry about that. My humble personal opinion is that it could probably stand on its own with some expansion, but I should not have removed the template without talking with you first. I respect your opinion, and if you decided to put it back on, I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that. Sorry again, Satori Son 01:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I posted a response to your oppose vote. Thanks for your concerns. - Mike | Talk 05:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there,
Thanks for your assistance. The reason I have put my link there the third time because I was not sure who really has removed my link. Was that another user or was it really Wikipedia. I had added a perticular link on Digital camera and that was working fine for last few months. I have added one affialiate link yesterday and that was the time I think my site was identified as an affiliate website which it is not. I have removed the affiliate advertisement and I just wish to inform you that is not a personal website or any affialire website. Please give me your views as I think that the website www.compare-camera.com serves as a content based website which gives only information to the user about digital cameras.
I will make the changes on my website and will make sure it qualifies in future.
Looking forward for your response.
Regards,

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 66.93.251.126 01:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
You put a somewhat patronizing note on my talk page, implying that I was screwing around with the Freelancer article. I really think that page needs to be cleared up.
Anyway, I posted more details on my talk page, so please look at that also. And if you really thought I was screwing around, why didn't you remove the change I made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.198.150.147 ( talk • contribs) 06:03, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again for your kind comments in my request, I will stay as active reviewing external links as editing and as patrolling as an administrator, so hopefully we will be able to cross our paths again!

This link points to the old discussion? I am not seeming to have this problem, can you describe in more detail?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Herostratus ( talk • contribs) 03:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the A-WIT C STAMP entry in the Microcontroller page: Why did you delete my entry? It was not meant as commercial material, but as additional information. In fact, the style was patterned after other entries in that section. See the entries for "Comfile Technology Inc.", "Coridium ARMexpress", and all the others. Why do you pick on this entry??—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.211.246 ( talk • contribs) 04:28, 23 November 2006) (UTC)
Hi Jon: I do not see why you have a problem with my putting up links to pictures of the things wikipedia has articles about. I did so after a friend noticed that there were already several references to me and my pictures and writings. And after I saw traffic on my website originating from wikipedia. As a total newcomer this week I am not aware of the protocols. Is it that I am doing it? Would it be valid if others did? it Or is it not to be done at all. Incidentally do you work for Wiki, or are you a volunteer? I guess I am curious how this came to your attention. George —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siamandas ( talk • contribs) 20:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough. I now know the rules. I thought that adding a link to images was an asset.
As a newcomer to Wikipedia I was confused by seeing 2 wiki article on my sites and thought it was wikipedia. Incidentally how did you know I was changing the entries?
I see you are into Mennonite studies. Did you at least look in my gallery on Steibach's Mennonite Heritage Village at http://manitoba.manitobaalive.com/mennonite_heritage_village/ and have you heard of my documentary on the "Mennonites of Manitoba?" winner of a gold Telly film award? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siamandas ( talk • contribs) 23:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, JonHarder! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, and try to reinsert the link again. If your link was genuine spam, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 13:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Jon not sure why you believe that the website (www.stockwrap.com) does not qualify under either the Technical Analysis Page or the Stock Software Page. I downloaded there software from a forum that I am a member of and believe it to be deserving of a link on these pages.
Have you actually checked the content on their wiki (wiki.stockwrap.com). It is more comprehensive on some topics than what wikipedia has. Furthermore, I think the users on Wikipedia deserve the best possible knowledge available on the internet.

You deleted this link from a See also on Phishing with the comment that it was link spam. As an internal link it is not, of course, link spam. Our policy is to maximise internal links both for information and to encourage development. It needs work, but is relevant to this article. I should welcome your reasoning for its deletion, please.

I am requesting your help in making the Northkill Amish Settlement page more encyclopedic. Reidhoch 15:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Your comments on Talk:Comparison of content management systems regarding user 24.72.70.37 would be considered a personal attack and a violation of the no personal attacks policy. Your comments did not focus on the user's content, only on your attempt to discredit the user based on what you felt about the users affiliation. This conforms to one of the examples of a personal attack included in the policy. It would have been better to comment on the user's point of view and content than to try to discredit them based on what you believe their affiliation to be. WebCmsXpert 01:42, Nov 28, 2006 UTC
HI Jon - re Amish in the jungle pix - apologies for reverting before researching - that's never a good idea. I reversed my revert as soon as I saw what was up. But I do want to ask you a question: I understand WP:EL (although I think some other aspects of it are being over-prosecuted lately), but where it gets fuzzy to me is what if I, or some other editor, who have no connection whatever to the photographer, were to think that this link is a worthy one for the Amish page. If I add it to the page as an external link rather than the photogrpaher doing it, would that have been acceptable? I'd have to think about whether I think it is adding enough useful information before doing it, but I am curious about it on a policy level. Thanks Tvoz 23:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Jon
I notice that you deleted the page on Alpha Five on the grounds that it was advertising.
I respectfully disagree, but rather than get into a protracted back and forth about it can you let me have a version of the page that you have edited that meets your "no advertising" views.

It ssys the template will be removed until more discussion can take place. Honor the request rather than continuing to dictate what happens on this page. None of you are conscientious objectors, so what makes you an expert? I am tired of this endless dribble that goes nowhere. If you want true discussion than honor it, otherwise leave the template off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.30.145.116 ( talk) 15:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC).
Hello JohnHarder. I would like to ask you to remove the personal attack that you published on the talk page of CMS comparisons. My account is not 'banned' but was blocked unfairly by another administrator because it had an email address in it. This was done before there was any policy of not allowing email addresses, and was done with less than a week and a half notice. The official Wikipedia policy explicitly states that existing users are not to be blocked. That issue has been resolved, and my account no longer has an email address. Anyways, I consider that your response to my comment to be a personal attack (see no personal attacks policy) and would appreciate it if you could revert your comments. It is not acceptable to attack a person based on affiliation. Your comments did not respond to the content of the page but were clearly an attack against me based on your statements of my affiliation. Thank you. -- ShanM 15:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I've added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Philanthropist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Philanthropist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Sebastian (talk) 03:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jon,
I've just read your comments about my postings on Wikipedia. I appreciate that Wiki is not an advertising medium - however, I believe the postings were appropriate under the guidance. I note that all of our competitors are listed on Wiki and I was simply adding our name to the list in a similar fashion. For example, our software is used a lot as a flow diagramming tool - and for some reason we have been removed from the list of software that does this - not sure why? Our software not only allows people to create flow diagrams, but to also check the logic is consistent and correct - as a result, we are used a lot in academic circles to help work through problems.
I was particularly careful in the postings to be factual about the software. I'm not sure how information can be posted about our technology and still pass your test - can you please advise? Or at least say what you felt was wrong with my posts as opposed to those of our competitors?
I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Steve
Dear JonHarder, Your comments on the CO article look fine to me (an editor coming in from looking at the Wikiquette page); reasoned & dispassionate. The discussion has gone astray lately. I'm trying to take it in a different direction & see if that helps things. Best, LQ 17:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Seeking your help dealing with user 134.226.1.194, whom you have already warned (in Nov. 2006) for vandalizing other entries. He has just been caught vandalizing the entry on Newtowncunningham.

Hi JonHarder, if you really think that Russian Mennonites is a good fit for the Bolivian ones (they are Old Colony) I have no problem, lets put it. My initial idea was (and still is) to put a clickable note (not in external links but in notes) when the Mennonite article talks about South America in the same way that there is a clickable note about Mennonites in Canada when the article talks about North America. I can not see difference between both cases. If you do, please could you explain it to me? Apart from that, I know there is a PhD of Univ. Wisconsin-Madison named Kimberly Miller who did a one-year stay in Bolivia studying the Colonies. I'm trying to contact her in order to know if there is some of her work in the net because it would be very interesting also. Thanks Panex 21:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I think you should have 129.174.180.3 blocked once and for all as this user recently vandalized the Rica Peralejo page. For specifics, please check the history page. Thank you. Doberdog 10:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
