You reverted the Ashfield article to reinstate some notable citizens (I agree with you). However in doing so, you overwrote some changes I'd made more recently to other sections of the article. I don't know what the Wiki-ettiquette is for this, but I personally think you should be more careful, and reinstate anything that you write over. I will put these particular changes back in. Thanks 99of9 06:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I think this project may be of interest. It aims to improve coverage of sydney-related matter on wikipedia. Regards, ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 06:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I notice you reverted a change to the motto of Knox Grammar School, and called it vandalism. Actually, the school's motto is in Latin, and is commonly translated in both ways (as is discussed later on the page). Therefore I don't see any reason for preferring either translation, so it is probably unfair to call it vandalism. 99of9 05:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
If I see a questionable change from an IP address without an edit summary, I usually revert it as vandalism. If there's an edit summary or it's from a registered editor, that's different. -- Usgnus 13:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I had previously twice removed the "rejected template" on WP:CONG and did not want to violate the 3RR rule, so it was gratifying to see you jump in spontaneously and remove it again. In the talk page I posted the last month's stats for editors citing the guideline in deletion debated for articles about churches. I noted that sometimes a provision of it had been cited to argue for deleting a church article and other times a provision had been cited as an argument to keep a church article (as when the doctirnes of the church were so notorious they got a lot of press coverage). TMy gut feeling is that this shows the guideline has hope of becoming a consensus for what a church artile needs to include to be "encyclopedic." These church (or congregation)-specific criteria would likely disappear if it were merged with WP:ORG as has been proposed. Regards. Edison 05:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you participated in at least one of these three deletion discussions:
All three discussions have similar issues but are leaning in different directions, so you may want to participate in the others, if only for the sake of consistencey and to avoid accusations that Wikipedians are being unfair to some group or groups (which is something that concerns me). I'm asking everyone who participated in one discussion to participate in the others. I apologize for bothering you if you already have participated in the others.

Hi, 99of9! Just saw your comment about SatyrBot placing {{ WikiProject Judaism}} on Talk:Taj El-Din Hilaly. The WikiProject asked me to add the banner to all articles within their project-scope - roughly 300 categories - back in August. El-Din Hilaly is in the Category:Antisemitism, which is probably why the project is concerned with the article.
Since that project, I've updated the bot to handle {{ WikiProjectBannerShell}} much better, so it will place banners *inside* that box, rather than on top.
Hope that explains what the bot did and why. If you have more questions about that particular article being in that particular WikiProject, you might want to bring it up with them. Thanks! -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 02:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello 99of9, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Hi 99of9 - please check individual country naming conventions before moving articles! I have moved this article back to its correct name of Blue Mountains, New Zealand, as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (New Zealand) - whether or not this is consistent with the naming conventions used in other countries (and therefore the other names listed at Blue Mountains is largely irrelevant - this name is consistent with a far larger group of articles (i.e., those on places in New Zealand) and the general rule in Wikipedia is to use local conventions as applying in different countries where there are conflicts.

Thanks for your note about this on my discussion page. One thing that did occur to me was that it could be useful to link the names of the churches to their (external) websites. However, I'm not sure if that is really within the remit of the article, and it would be a lot of tedious work. It would also be liable to go out of date as churches re-did their websites (which many do from time to time). Also, I might put some thought into various synonyms for the title that should (or could sensibly) re-direct to the page in question. Ondewelle ( talk) 17:41, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I require a source for an inclusion in the See Also section? That is new to me, can you point me to a policy? Are there sources supporting Polesitting or Balconing in the See Also section or is their inclusion OR as well. If so, I propose they should be removed as well. The case for including moral panic is clearly made by the hysterical response to the fad in the Australian press. -- Mattinbgn ( talk) 07:22, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing the effort on the Lord Howe article- I am there at the moment and treating the article as my homework for the holiday - will end up adding some photo galleries. In real life I'm a botanist at Melbourne Botanic Gardens and really like your list of biota - and your photos are awesome. Being a taxonomist I'm tempted to suggest that in addition to arranging the plants according to your categories you also arrange them by botanical family - that way additions and modifications become easier for outsiders like me. Maybe there is also eventually the chance to add the many different and fascinating rocks and minerals that occur on the island. Granitethighs 07:07, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey 99of9, I wanted to say thanks so much for persevering with that snail ID, and then creating the stub, and adding the species and an image to the genus article. Your care and work is much appreciated by Project Gastropods. As I expect you noticed, I was completely wrong with what I thought about the probable ID, but then I know almost nothing about endemic Australian land snails, so I suppose that's not surprising!

That is because the species was "discovered" several times and described as a new species by various scientists. Many insect species have numerous synonyms. If you are planning to make more moth of butterfly species pages, you might want to check [3] to find synonyms for the species you are writing on. Note that it is not a perfect site though. Not all species are on it and sometimes the info is outdated. Cheers and keep up the good work. Ruigeroeland ( talk) 08:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:StJohnsAshfield.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, the refs you added to the Jesus page were not WP:RS refs but just websites. The statements may be valid, but the refs are not. I did not tag or delete the refs, but you do need better refs that are WP:RS, e.g. actual books by well known authors. Let us wait a few days and hopefully you can find better refs, else will have to delete the refs. Thanks. History2007 ( talk) 05:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
I have checked every fact in the sections I mentioned. I am 100% sure. Regarding reference formats, I wonder if there is a tool for that. But that is not my department. Regarding neutrality, there are 1632 people who watch the page and there have been very few arguments about the current content - because as I said on the talk page the text has a Battleship gray tone. Regarding stability, given the large number of page views, and the small number of new edits per month, the article is really stable. I do know a lot about art and images, so I can handle image questions - and I wrote the depictions section from scratch in response to requests - which actually is a little long, but does not bite anyone. So you are right that it is close to GA, but the reference format take work, and is not my domain. Needs a tool. History2007 ( talk) 20:40, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, 99of9! Just saw your comment about SatyrBot placing {{ WikiProject Judaism}} on Talk:Taj El-Din Hilaly. The WikiProject asked me to add the banner to all articles within their project-scope - roughly 300 categories - back in August. El-Din Hilaly is in the Category:Antisemitism, which is probably why the project is concerned with the article.
Since that project, I've updated the bot to handle {{ WikiProjectBannerShell}} much better, so it will place banners *inside* that box, rather than on top.
Hope that explains what the bot did and why. If you have more questions about that particular article being in that particular WikiProject, you might want to bring it up with them. Thanks! -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 02:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello 99of9, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Hi 99of9 - please check individual country naming conventions before moving articles! I have moved this article back to its correct name of Blue Mountains, New Zealand, as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (New Zealand) - whether or not this is consistent with the naming conventions used in other countries (and therefore the other names listed at Blue Mountains is largely irrelevant - this name is consistent with a far larger group of articles (i.e., those on places in New Zealand) and the general rule in Wikipedia is to use local conventions as applying in different countries where there are conflicts.

Thanks for your note about this on my discussion page. One thing that did occur to me was that it could be useful to link the names of the churches to their (external) websites. However, I'm not sure if that is really within the remit of the article, and it would be a lot of tedious work. It would also be liable to go out of date as churches re-did their websites (which many do from time to time). Also, I might put some thought into various synonyms for the title that should (or could sensibly) re-direct to the page in question. Ondewelle ( talk) 17:41, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I require a source for an inclusion in the See Also section? That is new to me, can you point me to a policy? Are there sources supporting Polesitting or Balconing in the See Also section or is their inclusion OR as well. If so, I propose they should be removed as well. The case for including moral panic is clearly made by the hysterical response to the fad in the Australian press. -- Mattinbgn ( talk) 07:22, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing the effort on the Lord Howe article- I am there at the moment and treating the article as my homework for the holiday - will end up adding some photo galleries. In real life I'm a botanist at Melbourne Botanic Gardens and really like your list of biota - and your photos are awesome. Being a taxonomist I'm tempted to suggest that in addition to arranging the plants according to your categories you also arrange them by botanical family - that way additions and modifications become easier for outsiders like me. Maybe there is also eventually the chance to add the many different and fascinating rocks and minerals that occur on the island. Granitethighs 07:07, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

OK - I've finished tinkering and would appreciate feedback on a submission of the article for GA. I know there are all sorts of tools for checking disambiguations, citations and lots more but I have never really used them much. Do you know about them and do you have any favourites as I should probably be aware of what needs to be done in a final brush-up?

Needless to say - the GA would not have happened without your input - many thanks and good luck with the pics when you go to the island... the article could do with a few real quality photos. Granitethighs 21:57, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Hey 99of9, I wanted to say thanks so much for persevering with that snail ID, and then creating the stub, and adding the species and an image to the genus article. Your care and work is much appreciated by Project Gastropods. As I expect you noticed, I was completely wrong with what I thought about the probable ID, but then I know almost nothing about endemic Australian land snails, so I suppose that's not surprising! Thanks again, Invertzoo ( talk) 17:52, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Oh and any other snails or slugs that you come across and are able to photograph, we will be very happy to see them! Invertzoo ( talk) 18:12, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
That is because the species was "discovered" several times and described as a new species by various scientists. Many insect species have numerous synonyms. If you are planning to make more moth of butterfly species pages, you might want to check [3] to find synonyms for the species you are writing on. Note that it is not a perfect site though. Not all species are on it and sometimes the info is outdated. Cheers and keep up the good work. Ruigeroeland ( talk) 08:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:StJohnsAshfield.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, the refs you added to the Jesus page were not WP:RS refs but just websites. The statements may be valid, but the refs are not. I did not tag or delete the refs, but you do need better refs that are WP:RS, e.g. actual books by well known authors. Let us wait a few days and hopefully you can find better refs, else will have to delete the refs. Thanks. History2007 ( talk) 05:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
I have checked every fact in the sections I mentioned. I am 100% sure. Regarding reference formats, I wonder if there is a tool for that. But that is not my department. Regarding neutrality, there are 1632 people who watch the page and there have been very few arguments about the current content - because as I said on the talk page the text has a Battleship gray tone. Regarding stability, given the large number of page views, and the small number of new edits per month, the article is really stable. I do know a lot about art and images, so I can handle image questions - and I wrote the depictions section from scratch in response to requests - which actually is a little long, but does not bite anyone. So you are right that it is close to GA, but the reference format take work, and is not my domain. Needs a tool. History2007 ( talk) 20:40, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
