Hi. I notice that you deleted this page from my userspace. Which makes sense, owing largely to the big CSD template(s) I had posted there. I'm working on a new version of some of the CSD templates that would introduce a 30 minute delay after tagging and before adding the page to the categories - and thought I had disabled the categories here. Since it's a test page, I went ahead and restored it. The categories should be disabled again, so (I'm hoping) the page is no longer on the CSD list - but, since you deleted, I wanted to ping you and let you know. Thanks, UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 01:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Anthony. Thanks for your interest in the 'Emergency medical services' article. You might be interested in noting that the British article is slated for a substantial revision in the not too distant future, in order to bring it into line, style-wise, with the rest of the EMS by country articles. I'm not sure whether or not you'd be interested in helping out with that, but the help would be appreciated! Emrgmgmtca ( talk) 10:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Sir or Madam
I am expressing regret at the deletion of Navjot Singh. You mention that the reason is that he is a real person but not significant or relevant- but this is not true...I think the article spoke for itself that he is of significance and that he has done something for China- he is a well established and upcoming author of books on China...so why have you deleted him? Please kindly put back the page...this is very embarrassing for the author and for his publishers as they have worked hard to create a page which has been seen as basically "rubbish", and this is seen as an insult to his integrity and hard work.. Please kindly re initiate his page. Thanks in advance. 05:35, 8 October 2008 User:Gurpalo

Hi
You rejected a histmerge of
Chopped N Skrewed and
Chopped & Skrewed since they had "long parallel histories". I did actually look at those histories before I requested the merge, and it turns out that they were in fact hardly worked on in parallel, but copy&paste-moved previously, too:
So the only parallel (and discarded) development were those 5 revisions I mentioned above. Do they rule out the histmerge?

In my opinion it is not really required, that people and admins can follow what one is doing, to determine the validity of an edit or claim. Such heuristics should be abandoned. I am an old man (compared to the avg kindergarten of WP) and I think my edits are constructive.
To the scopolamine page: Please read MEDMOS, for what are preferred refs. In the case of newspaper refs we have absolutely no access to their raw information, sources, raw data, methodology. So these reports are not verifiable. In particular in medical articles we need verifiable sources, with reproducible results, well defined methods, accessible raw data. It is even preferable to only include broadly reviewed results or results from recognized text books. Peer reviewed article in themselves may not be commonly agreed. Mere communications in peer reviewed publications and anecdotal (case) reports are not enough.
The newspaper report about forged rohypnol with scopolamine does not contribute to information about scopolamine and is anecdotal. It belongs into some "forged medications" article, and then with a primary reference.
The report about burundanga is in danger of being a sensational mixture of truth and urban legend, and we have no way to determine how WSJ reporters arrived there. We need the primary reports.
Date rape claims are also always a mixture of truth and fiction, in particular, as this is an American cultural phenomenon, similar to other mass hysteria outbreaks.(like the catacombs, where children are held by satanists) Nobody else in the world wants to have sex with unconscious women, the yankees are either hysterical, or they are sick perverts, or both.
Insofar such claims and news reports have nothing to do with an encyclopedic entry, which claims to be scientifically founded. The same is true for self reported drug abuse experiences, which can also not be substantiated. There is enough valid material available on pubmed, to not spoil the article with such popular crap. The sobercircle ref contains a clear factual error. (7 g of scopolamine) It also links to some youtube crap of questionable truth.

Where are your sources for this?: "Some Greek sources say that the Indians worshipped Heracles. This may have arisen from Greek-speakers mis-hearing Hindu Sanskrit "Hare Krishna" as "Hēraklēs"." The Krishna article seems to suggest something different and besides, it shouldn't be only mentioned in the lead. Also, my knowledge of Greek suggests that these two names aren't easily confused to the untrained ear. They also differ in the number of syllables. I'm taking it out unless you can prove otherwise.

I'm pretty damn well nonplussed by your rv-&-mod of the Dab Jedi:
My judgment is that List of places whose names involve Jady plausibly would be viable, but (based on my attempt to get it started) cannot be compiled from scratch by editors without special subject-matter insight. IMO that makes it reasonable to insist that someone with subject-area knowledge demonstrate feasibility by starting a stub that at least lists Jedi and the other plausible variant spellings of Jady (i presume including Gedi and Giedi) in its lead section, as the basis for an "on speculation" entry
for the stub, under "See also".
I request the courtesy of our continuing this discussion among other experienced Dab editors, in the forum of
MoSDab talk, if you're still dissatisfied with my approach.

I've decided to take issue with your speedy deletion of Wolfram Demonstrations Project. I have restored it. I think you should take it to AfD if you think it should be deleted. The fact that the person who proposed speedy deletion is the same one who shortly thereafter embarrassed himself by proposing MathWorld for speedy deletion, that proposal being the most ill-considered Wikipedia edit ever, should give one pause.

Thanks for uploading Image:Aa southers fort neuro.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:09, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! In modern mongolian, Nohoi (or Nokhoi) means a dog. But its spelling is Nokhai in classic mongolian (BTW, it is just like Nogai Khan (his real name was Nokhai, foreign chroniclers corrupted his name)). Bar means a tiger, Arslan means a lion. Bar is singular form of a tiger. But if you say Bars, it is plural.

Hi, I wondered if you would look into a - talk - page move/deletion/merge (?) that might be needed. I *think* it requires admin capabilities because it can't be a "redirect, to current title with no prior versions in its edit history - the potential target has content", etc.
I tried working out doing from the various guides (WP:RM, WP:MGA, WP:SPLICE, WP:HISTMERGE complex/troublesome cases, WP:MOVE w/content requiring preserving history) what exactly needs doing, and where I should request it. Help, I'm so confused. :o(
Here's the dull minutiae:
I can't imagine any changes will be controversial, nor require discussion on the dupe talk page, but figured I couldn't just c+p the afdfull template and request deletion of the duplicate page, because...page history and links etc. It's probably far simpler than it seems to be to me! :) Thanks. – Whitehorse1 22:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I and my fellow editors are facing a deadlock on a issue of removing/toning down a section as subsection under criticism section in Operation Blue Star article, concerns include WP:NPOV, the summary of dispute can be found at [11], please let us know your views/opinion so that 'alleged' bias may be looked into and a consensual solution may be found. Thanks LegalEagle ( talk) 06:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Probably going beyond the call of duty, but would you mind dropping by the talk page of the creator and explaining why you agreed that it ought not (at least in its current form) to be present. I am having some difficulty explaining my rationale for nominating it! Fiddle Faddle ( talk) 22:26, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

"Mongolia during Qing rule" is not necessary. I have renamed and redirected your article to the old one. Dagvadorj ( talk) 18:17, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Dagvadorj

Please stop reverting "anon edits" in unqualified manner. We had that before. Even if it itches you, but anon edits are perfectly legitimate, even if "you can not see what they are doing". Besides you are not the only retired guy with a degree here. So stop treating people like school boys. This is not Umanchester undergrad course. 70.137.153.142 ( talk) 06:56, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Where are your sources for this?: "Some Greek sources say that the Indians worshipped Heracles. This may have arisen from Greek-speakers mis-hearing Hindu Sanskrit "Hare Krishna" as "Hēraklēs"." The Krishna article seems to suggest something different and besides, it shouldn't be only mentioned in the lead. Also, my knowledge of Greek suggests that these two names aren't easily confused to the untrained ear. They also differ in the number of syllables. I'm taking it out unless you can prove otherwise.

I'm pretty damn well nonplussed by your rv-&-mod of the Dab Jedi:
My judgment is that List of places whose names involve Jady plausibly would be viable, but (based on my attempt to get it started) cannot be compiled from scratch by editors without special subject-matter insight. IMO that makes it reasonable to insist that someone with subject-area knowledge demonstrate feasibility by starting a stub that at least lists Jedi and the other plausible variant spellings of Jady (i presume including Gedi and Giedi) in its lead section, as the basis for an "on speculation" entry
for the stub, under "See also".
I request the courtesy of our continuing this discussion among other experienced Dab editors, in the forum of
MoSDab talk, if you're still dissatisfied with my approach.

Really appreciate your fixing the mess I made of moving Maharishi Vedic Medicine to Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health. Had never noticed the Move tab. TimidGuy ( talk) 20:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that revert, Anthony! I was just about to jump on that and warn Sidonuke for removal of pertinent information. They clearly did not read the article or the versions before going ahead with that double revert...Cheers again! Thor Malmjursson ( talk) 19:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
I've decided to take issue with your speedy deletion of Wolfram Demonstrations Project. I have restored it. I think you should take it to AfD if you think it should be deleted. The fact that the person who proposed speedy deletion is the same one who shortly thereafter embarrassed himself by proposing MathWorld for speedy deletion, that proposal being the most ill-considered Wikipedia edit ever, should give one pause. Michael Hardy ( talk) 05:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Aa riotsquadhead 40x40.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 02:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I honestly think your thumb slipped with this move close. There have been three move requests on this article:
You closed placing the box around all of these, which suggests you were looking at the first discussion, which was indeed unanimous but in the other direction. Please doublecheck. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:57, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the move, Anthony!

I saw your edit here: [12]
Which issue of the Radio times are you referring to, and which page? That way we can format the reference properly with {{Cite magazine}}. -- Deadly∀ssassin 19:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you recently deleted an article I had written about Gary Yang and I was wondering about your reasons for not finding it notable. I thought that the article might be notable because Gary Yang has been involved with some major names in the Chinese music industry and seems to be starting a solo career. Maybe you would be willing to consider undeletion?-- Captain andy frain ( talk) 00:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Aa southers fort neuro.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:09, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of SPoT Coffee. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Dweeebis ( talk) 01:46, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I think, RfD is better idea; metal scene is very specific and this group isn't so simple to qualify to guidelines. Greets, Szwedzki ( talk) 01:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi! In modern mongolian, Nohoi (or Nokhoi) means a dog. But its spelling is Nokhai in classic mongolian (BTW, it is just like Nogai Khan (his real name was Nokhai, foreign chroniclers corrupted his name)). Bar means a tiger, Arslan means a lion. Bar is singular form of a tiger. But if you say Bars, it is plural. But I guess the word Arslan's (lion) spelling was arzlan in ancient turkic language. -- Enerelt ( talk) 01:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I wondered if you would look into a - talk - page move/deletion/merge (?) that might be needed. I *think* it requires admin capabilities because it can't be a "redirect, to current title with no prior versions in its edit history - the potential target has content", etc.
I tried working out doing from the various guides (WP:RM, WP:MGA, WP:SPLICE, WP:HISTMERGE complex/troublesome cases, WP:MOVE w/content requiring preserving history) what exactly needs doing, and where I should request it. Help, I'm so confused. :o(
Here's the dull minutiae:
I can't imagine any changes will be controversial, nor require discussion on the dupe talk page, but figured I couldn't just c+p the afdfull template and request deletion of the duplicate page, because...page history and links etc. It's probably far simpler than it seems to be to me! :) Thanks. – Whitehorse1 22:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Does it help that this parallel history is of a dicdef article on Yes that currently not exists? Ie. this diff effectively replaced the old article with the dab then at Yes (disambiguation). Taemyr ( talk) 00:21, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello. As requested, I've initiated a discussion on the talk page, and would be interested in knowing why you appear to think that my rewrite reduced the quality of the article. I'm not at all opposed to merging back in any pertinent content from the previous version. Sandstein 11:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I appreciate you doing the history merge. I should have thought over what I was doing so that this would have been unnecessary. If I ever need to do this sort of thing again, I'll know better. Thanks again. -- DRoll ( talk) 00:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
