Nice catch on 10-BaseT - It's been a while since I studied the OSI model, and it's a little fuzzier in my mind now than it was during my exams... ;-) Anyway, welcome to wikipedia - have fun! :) Martin
Thanks. But what's up with the "welcome"? I've been here a year and a half. I guess I shouldn't complain about friendliness in any form :-) Thanks ! --AMillar
Hey Amillar. Welcome to Wikipedia! (no! sorry! just kidding!) How'd you get the picture from 1911 encyclopedia? Do they exist on the web? Arthur 21:16 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
Heh! Thanks :-) No, I haven't found them on the web. I own a few beat-up volumes of the EB11 and scanned the aqueduct pictures myself. Black-and-white images are being processed through Distributed Proofreaders right now (and I'm working on that project) but unfortunately the photos are very poor in the scans we are working from. The line-drawn pictures are decent, and hopefully we'll find a way between DP and archive.org to make the entire image set available, but it isn't there yet. -- Alan
Hi, thanks for adding dates to the biographical listing pages. I've transferred W3 to your WikiMoney account to encourage you to keep up the good work. Cheers, AxelBoldt 19:36 22 May 2003 (UTC)
Good work on all those biographical listings! However, are you sure it's a good idea to be creating all these new pages using the subpage naming scheme? We're trying to get rid of subpages :) If you're only experimenting, then nevermind... but perhaps we should work on un-subpaging them before creating new ones. -- Wapcaplet 14:21 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
This whole "subpage" issue is an interesting one. Since the new Wikipedia software doesn't implement subpages, pages with a slash in the name are just more pages. So by definition, I haven't created any new subpages-- only new pages consistent with an older naming scheme :-) If you'd like to rename them to something without a slash, I'm certainly fine with that and I'll go along with whatever people would rather call them. Until there is a consensus on a new name, I'm just keeping them consistent with each other. -- Amillar 16:15 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Dear Amillar: I must apologize for what I did. I did it in thebest interest of Wikipedia. If youre nice, you get apologies from me , and you did because while you commented on the issue in my page you were nice about it and did not offend me with your expression, such as the other person did. I dont want to hear from that other contributor anymore.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely yours, Antonio The Contropedia Martin
Just a note, why change the wording in List of assassinated persons? The old way you could link to the relevant country, the new way it is impossible. -- Dante Alighieri 23:11 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
BTW, thanks for the hard work on adding so many overlooked bios to list of people. I was about to ask on the pump why so many bios were missing from what should be the canonical list, then I saw you were actually doing something about it! Stan 12:02 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hello Amillar, first good work for list of people. It is a labor-intensive task so it is really great you are spending time. I just want to ask you if you can mark your contributions for list of people as minor since I don't think there would be any controversy about your editing because it seems to me you just break up pages. -- Taku 05:27 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi Alan, I'm sorry for interfering with your work. I, too, was first under the impression you were doing just a simple page split-up, so I decided to help to make it go faster. I didn't realise you were also adding things; sorry if I caused confusion or inconvenience. -- Timwi 23:01 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Please note, at List of people associated with World War II, the George H.W. Bush page (no space between initials) is just a redirect to the George H. W. Bush page (space between initials), so it's really quite useless to use a [[George H.W. Bush|George H. W. Bush]] piped link, since it shows up with the space that way, but links with the redirect. If your intent was for it to display without the space, that would be done as [[George H. W. Bush|George H.W. Bush]] instead, but I don't consider keeping the space out to be a good enough reason to bother with a piped link anyway. -- John Owens 20:51 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Alan, Thanks again for your work in the biography name lists. As I've added entries, I have had one idea about headings, and thought I'd ask you opinion (because I'm undecided}. The page heading would be clener if we removed the unused links (e.g. there won't be any names in 'Rd'). OTOH, if we remove them all, and then need to add one (suppose that an 'Rc' name shows up), we'd need to go back and add that entry to all the 'R' subpages. Any thoughts? Lou I 19:43 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi, Alan; thanks for all those entries (before i arrived at WP) on List of people by name. And you know that no good deed goes unpunished:
In [1]] you introduced
Later, someone (i'll figure out who if this doesn't pan out) introduced
They could both be right, but i suspect there's some kind of garble involved in the first one, which perhaps should simply be discarded.
It might be that Baquet was misfiled, by first name, at the time of the garble creating opportunity for them to interact, and later got moved from the As to the Bs. (I haven't checked List of people by name: Ac, since they probably were built and manipulated before being added to WP.)
(Curiously, but i assume irrelevantly, they got separated by a misplaced heading in [2], which has probably delayed suspicion about this.)
I'd welcome any insight you could offer.

Hi Alan,
First off, apologies for any breaches of protocol regarding my article on Sleep Apnoea; this was my first (albeit brief!) contribution, and I should have read the guidelines more carefully.
That said, my article on SA was original work (not "a cut-and-paste from a medical text"), lifted directly from my dissertation on the subject, as were the strange pink images. Rather than disregard it completely in favour of the older text, as you did in reverting to a previous article, perhaps you could marry the two into a better article?
I'm looking forward to reading it.
Kind Regards, Gary Bass MD
NP. I've made a go at integrating the articles, correcting some minor errors in both, so there is a structure there for future updates from other Wiki encyclopaedists.
Hi Amillar! I just saw your addition of Image:Aardvark.jpg to Wikipedia:Images for deletion. In general, potential copyvio images should be listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, not IfD. Best, Diberri | Talk 00:06, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)

Heya, in a main-namespace cleanup I've moved Alan Millar/Contributions to User:Alan Millar/oldpage-Contributions. There's some edit history, so perhaps you want to keep it. Otherwise just delete it (or ask an admin to do so). -- fvw * 18:58, 2004 Dec 14 (UTC)

Hello, I was starting to work on the Bishoy article, which is presently a hodge-podge of copyvio materials taken from various Coptic Church sites and highly UE. After a little research I noticed you are the main author of Macarius of Egypt, which is in much better shape and a closely related bio. Probably you are much better qualified to fix Bishoy than me, if you cared to take it on. Otherwise, I'll use Macarius as a template and do the best I can. TIA FRS 22:32, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

At Greek alphabet, you wrote [[number|numbers]]. I changed it to [[number]]s.

A tag has been placed on Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
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 [[ Talk:Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg|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.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Amillar
In the text:
"Bald in the English name is derived from the word piebald, and refers to the white head and tail feathers and their contrast with the darker body."
I'm wondering why not adding another version to describe the name origin:

You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!
Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!
Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.
This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 14:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dino Ranch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CP. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! -- maveric149
Nice catch on 10-BaseT - It's been a while since I studied the OSI model, and it's a little fuzzier in my mind now than it was during my exams... ;-) Anyway, welcome to wikipedia - have fun! :) Martin

Hey Amillar. Welcome to Wikipedia! (no! sorry! just kidding!) How'd you get the picture from 1911 encyclopedia? Do they exist on the web? Arthur 21:16 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
Heh! Thanks :-) No, I haven't found them on the web. I own a few beat-up volumes of the EB11 and scanned the aqueduct pictures myself. Black-and-white images are being processed through Distributed Proofreaders right now (and I'm working on that project) but unfortunately the photos are very poor in the scans we are working from. The line-drawn pictures are decent, and hopefully we'll find a way between DP and archive.org to make the entire image set available, but it isn't there yet. -- Alan
Hi, thanks for adding dates to the biographical listing pages. I've transferred W3 to your WikiMoney account to encourage you to keep up the good work. Cheers, AxelBoldt 19:36 22 May 2003 (UTC)
Good work on all those biographical listings! However, are you sure it's a good idea to be creating all these new pages using the subpage naming scheme? We're trying to get rid of subpages :) If you're only experimenting, then nevermind... but perhaps we should work on un-subpaging them before creating new ones. -- Wapcaplet 14:21 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
This whole "subpage" issue is an interesting one. Since the new Wikipedia software doesn't implement subpages, pages with a slash in the name are just more pages. So by definition, I haven't created any new subpages-- only new pages consistent with an older naming scheme :-) If you'd like to rename them to something without a slash, I'm certainly fine with that and I'll go along with whatever people would rather call them. Until there is a consensus on a new name, I'm just keeping them consistent with each other. -- Amillar 16:15 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Dear Amillar: I must apologize for what I did. I did it in thebest interest of Wikipedia. If youre nice, you get apologies from me , and you did because while you commented on the issue in my page you were nice about it and did not offend me with your expression, such as the other person did. I dont want to hear from that other contributor anymore.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely yours, Antonio The Contropedia Martin
Just a note, why change the wording in List of assassinated persons? The old way you could link to the relevant country, the new way it is impossible. -- Dante Alighieri 23:11 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
BTW, thanks for the hard work on adding so many overlooked bios to list of people. I was about to ask on the pump why so many bios were missing from what should be the canonical list, then I saw you were actually doing something about it! Stan 12:02 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hello Amillar, first good work for list of people. It is a labor-intensive task so it is really great you are spending time. I just want to ask you if you can mark your contributions for list of people as minor since I don't think there would be any controversy about your editing because it seems to me you just break up pages. -- Taku 05:27 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi Alan, I'm sorry for interfering with your work. I, too, was first under the impression you were doing just a simple page split-up, so I decided to help to make it go faster. I didn't realise you were also adding things; sorry if I caused confusion or inconvenience. -- Timwi 23:01 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Please note, at List of people associated with World War II, the George H.W. Bush page (no space between initials) is just a redirect to the George H. W. Bush page (space between initials), so it's really quite useless to use a [[George H.W. Bush|George H. W. Bush]] piped link, since it shows up with the space that way, but links with the redirect. If your intent was for it to display without the space, that would be done as [[George H. W. Bush|George H.W. Bush]] instead, but I don't consider keeping the space out to be a good enough reason to bother with a piped link anyway. -- John Owens 20:51 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Alan, Thanks again for your work in the biography name lists. As I've added entries, I have had one idea about headings, and thought I'd ask you opinion (because I'm undecided}. The page heading would be clener if we removed the unused links (e.g. there won't be any names in 'Rd'). OTOH, if we remove them all, and then need to add one (suppose that an 'Rc' name shows up), we'd need to go back and add that entry to all the 'R' subpages. Any thoughts? Lou I 19:43 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi, Alan; thanks for all those entries (before i arrived at WP) on List of people by name. And you know that no good deed goes unpunished:
In [1]] you introduced
Later, someone (i'll figure out who if this doesn't pan out) introduced
They could both be right, but i suspect there's some kind of garble involved in the first one, which perhaps should simply be discarded.
It might be that Baquet was misfiled, by first name, at the time of the garble creating opportunity for them to interact, and later got moved from the As to the Bs. (I haven't checked List of people by name: Ac, since they probably were built and manipulated before being added to WP.)
(Curiously, but i assume irrelevantly, they got separated by a misplaced heading in [2], which has probably delayed suspicion about this.)
I'd welcome any insight you could offer.

Hi Alan,
First off, apologies for any breaches of protocol regarding my article on Sleep Apnoea; this was my first (albeit brief!) contribution, and I should have read the guidelines more carefully.
That said, my article on SA was original work (not "a cut-and-paste from a medical text"), lifted directly from my dissertation on the subject, as were the strange pink images. Rather than disregard it completely in favour of the older text, as you did in reverting to a previous article, perhaps you could marry the two into a better article?
I'm looking forward to reading it.
Kind Regards, Gary Bass MD
NP. I've made a go at integrating the articles, correcting some minor errors in both, so there is a structure there for future updates from other Wiki encyclopaedists.
Hi Amillar! I just saw your addition of Image:Aardvark.jpg to Wikipedia:Images for deletion. In general, potential copyvio images should be listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, not IfD. Best, Diberri | Talk 00:06, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)

Hello, I was starting to work on the Bishoy article, which is presently a hodge-podge of copyvio materials taken from various Coptic Church sites and highly UE. After a little research I noticed you are the main author of Macarius of Egypt, which is in much better shape and a closely related bio.

A tag has been placed on Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
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 [[ Talk:Image:Aqueduct-aqua-claudia.jpg|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.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Amillar
In the text:
"Bald in the English name is derived from the word piebald, and refers to the white head and tail feathers and their contrast with the darker body."
I'm wondering why not adding another version to describe the name origin:

Thanks!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dino Ranch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CP. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
