Hi
I just want to know how you are reasoning around this snake thing.
You reverted both mine and Ethan Mitchell's deletion but you have not replied to eatiher of ous in the discussion page, yet you write (restore deletion, or please discuss).
I'm a bit lost, do you want me to restore the deletion if I really mean it or should I disuss it with you like I'm doing now.
Anyway, I'm aware of that it is possible to die of fright, however the current text implies that people actully are dying of fright after snake bites, if this is the case I think a citation is needed.
If you really want it to stay without a citation might I suggest we change
"An example of nocebo effect is someone who dies of fright after being bitten by a non-venomous snake."
to
"An example of nocebo effect would be someone who dies of fright after being bitten by a non-venomous snake."

Heya. I was browsing Google Maps and got the notion in my head to geotag a few articles, but when I actually went to do so discovered that you had deleted Aruba Networks for "blatant advertising". I went back to the deleted version and only one sentence that's really advertising ("Aruba securely delivers..."). Admittedly, the article is a generic infotable plus a pretty lousy little stub, but I think the company is, in fact, worthy of some small article (they compete well enough with Cisco in the "wireless" niche, have a vaguely notable patent lawsuit with Motorola that might be mentioned, and have a few vaguely interesting technologies - and if you're looking for hype, they've been placed in a few Gartner "magic quadrants" lately). Would you kindly consider restoring the article with the removal of that sentence, and mmaybe even adding Cisco to the "Competitors" list? Or at least bring the article back for a proper deletion discussion. I'd do it myself except for the fact that I work there, and would prefer to avoid editing the article proper.

Hello again, Anthony Appleyard (I, of User talk:Anthony Appleyard#Public economics infamy ;). (Archiving of Talk page for PE completed without a hitch, thank you.)
I was hoping that you might be able to advise or assist me on the following. After a near-year-long merge proposal at Talk:The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics#Merge proposal, a merge took place of The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics → The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition, except that there was no revision-history merge. Prior to that, I moved the article title of The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics to add ", 2nd Edition," [1] thereby more clearly distinguishing the 2 articles.
With the merger, the distinction of the 2 articles is unecessary. And so is the "2nd Edition" part of the article title. Rather, the distinction can be made in the article, not the title. So, I today proposed to Talk:The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition#Move article title back to The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics. The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics is now a REDIRECT. So, here is what I hope could be done:
As to overlapping revision histories, it matters little to me how that's done. The most promising possibilities, I'd think, would be merging the revision history either in 2 complete blocks (NP1, 1st; NP2, 2nd) or, say an incomplete block of NP1 history up to the start of NP2 revision history (Oct. 29, 2007 at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_New_Palgrave_Dictionary_of_Economics,_2nd_Edition&oldid=167834443). I'd sure appreciate any advice or help on this. I'll look for your answer(s) here or wherever. Thank you so. -- Thomasmeeks ( talk) 19:15, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello again, Mr. Appleyard. One follow-up from your help in the above change of change of name for the merger. The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics now redirects to The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics at the top. There would be advantages of having the link for "The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics" be the section with the same heading, that is, The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics#The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics.* May I request that redirect link for "The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics" (& similarly for "New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics")? Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Anthony,
I think I remember differing with you over this paragraph before. I realise that you are extremely attached to your boilersuits, but they are simply not relevant here, and the rest of the paragraph is inaccurate on several counts:
Not necessarily at all: many of the earlier coats had very low buttoning points.
If you consider the thickness of the fabric habitually used then, the weather can hardly have been a contributing factor.
The buttons were removed about a hundred years later, and the early frocks and dress coat designs did not necessarily have collars.
As we decided before when removing the picture of you, a period image is more appropriate, and the modern analogy could be more gainfully replaced by commentary on more of the portraits from Commons.
This is in fact a genuine feature on some modern hacking jackets (for example picture, see [9]).
So, there are some good thoughts there, but the consistent theme of boilsuits (usually involving pictures of you) in all our crossings suggests that you are attached to this paragraph on more than just stylistic or factual points. I am unwilling to simply exacerbate the question by deleting the material again, but would like to hear your justification for re-adding it.
Best, Kan8eDie ( talk) 20:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
OK, try this. (I have no unusual or odd attachment to boilersuits: they are merely convenient, and cost far less than office/business suits, and are much easier to clean (I wash it in the bath, instead of expensive drycleaning), and last much longer.)

Please read over Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). With this series of edits, you made just about every kind of mistake I've ever seen made on a dab page, including several I had just fixed. Dab pages are not articles, and do not have the same formatting rules as articles. Specifically:
It won't take much of your time to read over guidelines like MOS:DAB, and to refer to them whenever you are editing a dab page (I refer back to MOS:DAB all the time). The guideline is designed to make dab pages 1) consistent, and 2) as useful as possible for the sole function they serve: navigation. When you neglect the guideline, you make a great deal more work for other editors. » Swpb τ • ¢ 19:22, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I am working on a history article about an American dermatologist. (Still working offline, not ready to create the page yet.) In researching the appropriate Categories to list, I was surprised to see that you recently deleted the category "American dermatologists". Why was that? Will it be OK if I recreate it when I have my page ready, or would you consider recreating it?
That field does seem to have been neglected here. As I worked I was surprised to discover that some of the most famous American dermatologists do not have a page (Walter Lever, Hermann Pinkus, etc), and I had thought I might try to research them after I finish the one I am working on now.
By the way, a question about nationality: suppose a person is born (say) German but does all his work in America, would it be appropriate to list him under both "German physicians" and "American physicians"? Or which should you call him?
Another question: does the "people from..." category refer to city of birth, or city of mature residence and professional achievement?

Using my method, where page A is the page where the posttext is and Page B is the location of the pretext, I do it like this:
The easy history merges take me one or two minutes, maybe more if I suddenly go paranoid about overlapping edits or redirect revisions or other inane trivia. All the history merges I did yesterday (over 100 of them) took me about six hours. I guess it's a combination of muscle memory and fanaticism that allows me to do fifty or a hundred of them at a stretch. I think a sighted person could probably do history merges faster than I can.
I tagged all the false positives I found with Template:Nahmc. According to Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Nahmc, there were seven false positives from the original list. I found the "Out of africa" false positive, which appeared in page 11, while doing disambiguation link fixing. I tagged "Demographic of Colombia" as a false positive after doing the history merge because there was a second cut-and-paste move to that title which might confuse the script. See the first three edits of its history. None of the history merges had been done before I worked on them through the histmerge list. Graham 87 10:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

You reverted both mine and Ethan Mitchell's deletion but you have not replied to eatiher of ous in the discussion page, yet you write (restore deletion, or please discuss).
I'm a bit lost, do you want me to restore the deletion if I really mean it or should I disuss it with you like I'm doing now.
Anyway, I'm aware of that it is possible to die of fright, however the current text implies that people actully are dying of fright after snake bites, if this is the case I think a citation is needed.
If you really want it to stay without a citation might I suggest we change
"An example of nocebo effect is someone who dies of fright after being bitten by a non-venomous snake."
to
"An example of nocebo effect would be someone who dies of fright after being bitten by a non-venomous snake."

Heya. I was browsing Google Maps and got the notion in my head to geotag a few articles, but when I actually went to do so discovered that you had deleted Aruba Networks for "blatant advertising". I went back to the deleted version and only one sentence that's really advertising ("Aruba securely delivers..."). Admittedly, the article is a generic infotable plus a pretty lousy little stub, but I think the company is, in fact, worthy of some small article (they compete well enough with Cisco in the "wireless" niche, have a vaguely notable patent lawsuit with Motorola that might be mentioned, and have a few vaguely interesting technologies - and if you're looking for hype, they've been placed in a few Gartner "magic quadrants" lately). Would you kindly consider restoring the article with the removal of that sentence, and mmaybe even adding Cisco to the "Competitors" list? Or at least bring the article back for a proper deletion discussion. I'd do it myself except for the fact that I work there, and would prefer to avoid editing the article proper.

Hello again, Anthony Appleyard (I, of User talk:Anthony Appleyard#Public economics infamy ;). (Archiving of Talk page for PE completed without a hitch, thank you.)
I was hoping that you might be able to advise or assist me on the following. After a near-year-long merge proposal at Talk:The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics#Merge proposal, a merge took place of The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics → The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition, except that there was no revision-history merge. Prior to that, I moved the article title of The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics to add ", 2nd Edition," [1] thereby more clearly distinguishing the 2 articles.
With the merger, the distinction of the 2 articles is unecessary. And so is the "2nd Edition" part of the article title. Rather, the distinction can be made in the article, not the title. So, I today proposed to Talk:The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, 2nd Edition#Move article title back to The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics. The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics is now a REDIRECT. So, here is what I hope could be done:
As to overlapping revision histories, it matters little to me how that's done. The most promising possibilities, I'd think, would be merging the revision history either in 2 complete blocks (NP1, 1st; NP2, 2nd) or, say an incomplete block of NP1 history up to the start of NP2 revision history (Oct. 29, 2007 at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_New_Palgrave_Dictionary_of_Economics,_2nd_Edition&oldid=167834443). I'd sure appreciate any advice or help on this. I'll look for your answer(s) here or wherever. Thank you so. -- Thomasmeeks ( talk) 19:15, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello again, Mr. Appleyard. One follow-up from your help in the above change of change of name for the merger. The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics now redirects to The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics at the top. There would be advantages of having the link for "The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics" be the section with the same heading, that is, The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics#The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics.* May I request that redirect link for "The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics" (& similarly for "New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics")? Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Anthony,
I think I remember differing with you over this paragraph before. I realise that you are extremely attached to your boilersuits, but they are simply not relevant here, and the rest of the paragraph is inaccurate on several counts:
Not necessarily at all: many of the earlier coats had very low buttoning points.
If you consider the thickness of the fabric habitually used then, the weather can hardly have been a contributing factor.
The buttons were removed about a hundred years later, and the early frocks and dress coat designs did not necessarily have collars.
As we decided before when removing the picture of you, a period image is more appropriate, and the modern analogy could be more gainfully replaced by commentary on more of the portraits from Commons.
This is in fact a genuine feature on some modern hacking jackets (for example picture, see [9]).
So, there are some good thoughts there, but the consistent theme of boilsuits (usually involving pictures of you) in all our crossings suggests that you are attached to this paragraph on more than just stylistic or factual points. I am unwilling to simply exacerbate the question by deleting the material again, but would like to hear your justification for re-adding it.
Best, Kan8eDie ( talk) 20:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
OK, try this. (I have no unusual or odd attachment to boilersuits: they are merely convenient, and cost far less than office/business suits, and are much easier to clean (I wash it in the bath, instead of expensive drycleaning), and last much longer.)

Please read over Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). With this series of edits, you made just about every kind of mistake I've ever seen made on a dab page, including several I had just fixed. Dab pages are not articles, and do not have the same formatting rules as articles. Specifically:
It won't take much of your time to read over guidelines like MOS:DAB, and to refer to them whenever you are editing a dab page (I refer back to MOS:DAB all the time). The guideline is designed to make dab pages 1) consistent, and 2) as useful as possible for the sole function they serve: navigation. When you neglect the guideline, you make a great deal more work for other editors. » Swpb τ • ¢ 19:22, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I am working on a history article about an American dermatologist. (Still working offline, not ready to create the page yet.) In researching the appropriate Categories to list, I was surprised to see that you recently deleted the category "American dermatologists". Why was that? Will it be OK if I recreate it when I have my page ready, or would you consider recreating it?
That field does seem to have been neglected here. As I worked I was surprised to discover that some of the most famous American dermatologists do not have a page (Walter Lever, Hermann Pinkus, etc), and I had thought I might try to research them after I finish the one I am working on now.
By the way, a question about nationality: suppose a person is born (say) German but does all his work in America, would it be appropriate to list him under both "German physicians" and "American physicians"? Or which should you call him?
Another question: does the "people from..." category refer to city of birth, or city of mature residence and professional achievement?

Using my method, where page A is the page where the posttext is and Page B is the location of the pretext, I do it like this:
The easy history merges take me one or two minutes, maybe more if I suddenly go paranoid about overlapping edits or redirect revisions or other inane trivia. All the history merges I did yesterday (over 100 of them) took me about six hours. I guess it's a combination of muscle memory and fanaticism that allows me to do fifty or a hundred of them at a stretch. I think a sighted person could probably do history merges faster than I can.
I tagged all the false positives I found with Template:Nahmc. According to Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Nahmc, there were seven false positives from the original list. I found the "Out of africa" false positive, which appeared in page 11, while doing disambiguation link fixing. I tagged "Demographic of Colombia" as a false positive after doing the history merge because there was a second cut-and-paste move to that title which might confuse the script. See the first three edits of its history. None of the history merges had been done before I worked on them through the histmerge list. Graham 87 10:33, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
