Hi, i have noticed that you have previously edited articles related to the subject of Gaelic Games. Several users, including my self, have start work on a WikiProject to collaborate and pool our work on the subject to create, expand and improve listings about Gaelic Games and related subjects. With your previous edits i was wondering if you would be willing to join us and help out in this project. Their is no commitment necessary, and you can assists the project as your time permits. If your interested you can check out the project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Gaelic Games, and if you have any questions about the project feel free to drop a line on the project talk page, or you can drop me a line directly.

Hi there. I was just wondering, could you possibly reduce the number of things in your signature? It is really hard to edit a page (AID maitaining) when I have to try to decode which part of you signature is causing the problem with our bot. Thankyou -- Steven 00:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I see today you reverted the article on Poison, removing what you identified as 'linkspam'. Can you tell me why you thought that link was a spam? I did not place it, but it struck me as an appropriate link for an article on poisons. It was a link to a US government statistical page where many poisons were listed along with the number of deaths by year they had caused. Pzavon 03:04, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
This is a response to the info below. Not being an experienced Wikipedia editor, I am not sure how else to respond, so I used edit. Forgive me for not knowing otherwise, and go ahead and delete this if you so wish:
Dear Argon233,
This is a response to all the nasty talk about the external links to US census data that I placed on Wikipedia articles.
Please consider the following:
1) My US census data web site has the exact data that I obtained from the US Census Bureau on CD-ROM.
2) I programmatically produced the web pages from the data, exactly "as is". Not an iota was changed, so, there should be no doubt about its authenticity.
3) There are significant advantages of my web pages over the official government US Census web site, but in terms of the ability to deep link to specific data, there is the obvious (and huge) advantage that you cannot readily do so on the government site. Theirs operates by means of presenting search results. That means that, whereas a link to a specific type of statistic is a click away to my specific US census web page, whereas in the case of the gov. web site, the link takes you where you have to do some work before you even find out that there is such a statistic.
4) The links that I placed in Wikipedia articles are only to pages that, as the editor of the POISON article pointed out, are totally relevant to the topic.
5) The fact that I have google ads on the pages should not be a deterrent to visiting or linking to my pages, because the content matters more than the ads. The ads help pay for maintaining those pages, just like ads help pay the bills in all sorts of excellent web pages and other excellent publications.
6) The notion of wholesale removal of the links to my US census data pages reminds me a bit of Senator McCarthy's wholesale persecution of well intentioned artists. The whole idea of a Wikipedia police motivated by such nastiness is somewhat frighteing.
7) Regarding the quality of my web pages and my own qualifications, I will just mention advanced age, long experience and exceptional education, and invite you to visit my page at www.theodora.com/wfb/about.html in order to see what I do, and to also let you know that there are thousands of unsolicited links to my web sites from universities, schools, government and corporate web sites, because they are so rich in useful content. All my web pages are absolutely child-friendly, without even a hint of anything that is adult-minded. Finally, you may want to do a search on Google.com for "Photius Coutsoukis", which may help you realize that perhaps I am a better critic of web page quality than yourselves.
Greetings from Thessaloniki in northern Greece.

Pardon my noncompliance with your exacting guidelines. You are questioning whether the links I had added to the POISON and other articles properly belong there. Also, you characterized me as "a hobbyist, a self promoter etc.". So, first, let's make it clear, that I do not need Wikipedia to promote my web sites, which are viewed by hundereds of millions of visitors, and to which there are thousands of unsolicited links from the web sites of libraries, universities, government, etc.
Second, if I am a hobbyist, I must be very good at this web site hobby, having produced many reputable web sites, including the oldest continuously money-making web site in the world, and I have been at it since before most of you proud and strict fellows became aware that there was such as thing as the Internet.
You question wheter I am Photius Coutsoukis. You are welcome to call me on the telephone for an in-person verification at +30-23920-23920, while keeping in mind that we (in Greece) are 7 hours ahead of you.
As for the links, given that presumably you want to serve Wikipedia users, do you think that having removed the link, for example, from the POISON article to the related statistic page of my US Census web site makes your page better for the Wikipedia users?
The fact that I have not had the time to familiarize myself with your way of doing things does not change the value of that information, or lack thereof, to your web visitors. There is plenty of misinformation on Wikipedia, added by many "hobyists", my links certainly not being in that category, and I challenge you to find even the slightest hint of misinformation on any of my web sites.
More greetings form Thessaloniki.

Thank you Argon233 for the nice lesson and this great story. I also like the story that was in the news, about the American diplomat John B. Bellinger III explaining to the United Nations Committee Against Torture about how the US for sure and beyond any doubt does not practice or condone torture of any sort, while Xuexian Wang of China asked "Where would you put 'waterboarding' or other forms of inhuman treatment?", while the Senegalese delegate, Guibril Camara, said it was the committee's interpretation — not that of the United States — that would set the global definition of torture. "One of the parties is going to have to give way," Mr. Camara said. "And I think it's probably going to have to be you." and the Greek chairman of the committee, Andreas Mavrommatis, stated that "the very fact that you are asking (the Americans) for diplomatic assurances means you are in doubt". Perhaps one would want to consider that certain peoples tend to be rather suspicious of others, paranoid and fearful. The Germans gave us a glaring example in the past. There are other peoples who tend to be more trusting. As a general rule, they do not tend so much toward minute rules and regulations as they do toward common sense. They do not focus so much on punishment as they do on sympathy. There are so many combinations and variations in between, but the chasm between the extreme poles can cause baffling behavior, just like your Japanese example, but also extreme cruelty.
So, people are different. Some go by the book, others do not need so many rule books to know right from wrong. Some assign great importance to things that others consider superficial, ephemeral and trivial. Some people overlook things that to others are as important as the essence of their own existence.
I thank you again for taking the time to give me your parable, which I enjoyed reading, and from which I learned, and for taking the time to read my little news story above. I must now go finish the Chinese language version of my China statistics web site, which, barring the discovery of some error, I will hopefully upload this weekend.

I see you nominated a whole slew of RAF articles for deletion a few days ago with the "reasoning" that they are non-notable subjects. There are two articles out of those that you nominated that, in their current state, I could perhaps agree with deletion. The No. 249 Wing article was in terrible condition and little more than a personal ramble masquerading as an article so that's one thing. The No. 51 OTU article was potentially a copyvio which is a separate issue to AFD so you actually went through the wrong channels on that one. I would also point out that non-notability in and of itself is not a criterion for deletion despite what many on AFD may think. The text on non-notability is an essay not an official policy of Wikipedia.
As for the lists that you nominated, which I have the personal stake in, I see that again you claimed they were "non-notable". I say again that in and of itself is not a criterion for deletion. It would also have been nice of you to let me know what you were doing since I am the author of the vast majority of the material contained within those lists. With the balloon squadrons there was perhaps a case for dewikifying them but with other units there are decades of history that are represented there. It is not a glamorous topic and it is not a topic which has easily accessible resources, so it is hard to write about, but it is a worthy topic for inclusion in Wikipedia.

I tried to nomiante a few articles for deletion today ( Alex 'Ace' Dringer being one), but I don't think I'm doing it right. They just show up on the log page as a red link attached to another nomination. Am I missing something? -- cholmes75 20:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I question some of the red links you are removing, and I think you might misunderstand WP:CONTEXT. For instance your changes to speech recognition directly contradicts WP:CONTEXT's rule that technical terms should be linked in articles. Your changes also seem to be arbitrary, why delink the Saskatchewan health system but no the Ontario one from Medicare (Canada). We don't delink items just because we don't yet have an article. - SimonP 21:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I saw the dispute in Health insurance, so I created a stub for Fee-for-service if you guys would like to check it out. Cheers! - AED 23:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 23:36, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Argon. In that it has some applicability to Universal health care, which you have edited recently, would you mind taking a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kris Craig? Thanks! - AED 18:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Sure, see WP:PR/A#Busking.

Hi - My opinion about the busking zealot pretty much matches yours, I suspect. I don't have the energy to get embroiled in an edit war on the busker page, although I'll to add my voice to the discussion if no-one else steps up to the plate.

"It is a nonpartisan institution, supported by public and private funds, engaged in the study of national and world affairs. The Center establishes and maintains a lively, neutral forum for free and informed dialogue. [...] The Center is charged by the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Act with symbolizing and strengthening the fruitful relations between the world of learning and the world of public affairs. The Center encourages contacts among scholars, policymakers, and business leaders and extends their conversations worldwide through its publishing, broadcasting, and Internet programs." (www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=about.about )
Your messages saying "Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia" might be mistaken as an indication that you are deleting blindly. The center is a valuable resource. While wikipedia is not a mere collection of links, this site deserves better than blindly deleting any link to it that you might run across. That said, external links need to be pruned with a hatchet at regular intervals and I find no fault on your part with helping with that. Thanks for helping wikipedia be a better encyclopedia.

This conversation is getting odd and I no longer wish to participate in it. I thought it made sense to suggest saying accurate things to people you are trying to give information to. You respond as if you have no choice but to communicate thru a limited number of templates; as if you can't copy and paste any message at all of your own choosing. I don't get it and I don't care anymore. WAS 4.250 07:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm a tad confused about your deletion of all links that Mikeyt931 has added to the Mayo. I followed this from Brachial Plexus, a page I watch due to my carrying a chronic injury in my BP. The pages at the Mayo Clinic are (in my experience anyway) some of the best and clearest describing this part of the body and the various injuries and treatments available. They run rings around the WP article. Internationally the Mayo is regarded as a leading medical institution, with highly regarded research and education programs. I'm not qualified to judge the other pages that had links to Mayo, but on that particular page the external link added to the article. Please note I appreciate the effort you goto to tracking down spammers, but I'm adding that link back into that page purely due to it being such a good resource. Johnpf 13:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Argone233,
Your recent activity regarding this page is inexplicable. How does one define notable? An organization with more than a 1,000 members at colleges and universities around the US and in Germany, does not qualify as "notable". Does an article in the Wall Street Journal suggest notability? I wonder. I have noticed, though, that half of your deletions are challenged by respectable users, somewhat concerning to all I think. For the good of this website,I obviously will have to take this deletion up with Wiki and propose you be sanctioned. Please feel free to justify your actions. All the best, Christopher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher Andrade ( talk • contribs) 2007-02-13T13:43:38
Given the (lack of any significant) edit history by Christopher Andrade ( talk · contribs) and MrsCAMEB ( talk · contribs) (which gives the impression of sockpuppets at work) I have a hard time taking anything said in the above messages by very seriously, but I guess I'll invest a few word on this.
I could have added a speed delete tag, but I used a PROD message instead, since I prefer to have a more open discussion on article deletions than speedy's allow for. An admin who is not known to me ( User:Mel Etitis) saw fit to change my prod to a speedy delete, and he explained his reasoning here. As I didn't do the deletion and I am not an admin, if you feel it was in error, please make your appeal to someone that can actually overturn it. As for me, I believe that all I did was to spot someone trying to sneek an article back in, which previously had gone through the proper deletion processes, and that is not the right approach to take if an article should be restored.
As for notability, there were fairly clear guidelines listed in the PROD message. As far as 1000 members in the organization somehow qualifying it for notability, I have been in local church gatherings with more that that in the congregation, I have worked in an office building with more than that in that building, and I have worked for corporations that had more that number of people employed, and that church, building and corporation do not meet the notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Please also keep in mind that the world is a much bigger (and generally better) place than the narrow confines of the college experience might lead you to believe. In the end things made up at school may not be as important to the world at large as you might think they are, even if they are as apparently solid as your organization may seem to you. -- Argon233 T C @ ∉

It is not a glamorous topic and it is not a topic which has easily accessible resources, so it is hard to write about, but it is a worthy topic for inclusion in Wikipedia.

I tried to nomiante a few articles for deletion today ( Alex 'Ace' Dringer being one), but I don't think I'm doing it right. They just show up on the log page as a red link attached to another nomination. Am I missing something? -- cholmes75 20:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. I cleaned up the external links section of Eye tracking a bit. Cheers! - AED 04:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the votes of confidence. I'll be working on some of those other topics too but right now I'm doing one thing at a time. :) Sonria 01:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I question some of the red links you are removing, and I think you might misunderstand WP:CONTEXT. For instance your changes to speech recognition directly contradicts WP:CONTEXT's rule that technical terms should be linked in articles. Your changes also seem to be arbitrary, why delink the Saskatchewan health system but no the Ontario one from Medicare (Canada). We don't delink items just because we don't yet have an article. - SimonP 21:19, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I saw the dispute in Health insurance, so I created a stub for Fee-for-service if you guys would like to check it out. Cheers! - AED 23:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I see that you reverted removals by User:Scottrox. Good work. Please feel free to warn the user or if particularly malicious, bring it to admin attention by posting at the admin noticeboard. Happy editing! + + Lar: t/ c 19:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Argon. In that it has some applicability to Universal health care, which you have edited recently, would you mind taking a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kris Craig? Thanks! - AED 18:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Sure, see WP:PR/A#Busking. In fact, you can do it yourself - add {{subst:js|User:AndyZ/peerreviewer.js}} to your monobook.js, and in editing mode click on the peer review link that appears next to your log out link. The comments will appear in template form - see User:AndyZ/PR. AZ t 13:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi - My opinion about the busking zealot pretty much matches yours, I suspect. I don't have the energy to get embroiled in an edit war on the busker page, although I'll to add my voice to the discussion if no-one else steps up to the plate. He's obviously unsuited to contributing to Wikipedia, but there's likely no convicing him of it. Feel free to drop me a line if he doesn't drop the issue in the next couple days. Cheers, and thanks for caring about the quality of this great project. -- RobHutten 00:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
"It is a nonpartisan institution, supported by public and private funds, engaged in the study of national and world affairs. The Center establishes and maintains a lively, neutral forum for free and informed dialogue. [...] The Center is charged by the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Act with symbolizing and strengthening the fruitful relations between the world of learning and the world of public affairs. The Center encourages contacts among scholars, policymakers, and business leaders and extends their conversations worldwide through its publishing, broadcasting, and Internet programs." (www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=about.about )
Your messages saying "Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia" might be mistaken as an indication that you are deleting blindly. The center is a valuable resource. While wikipedia is not a mere collection of links, this site deserves better than blindly deleting any link to it that you might run across. That said, external links need to be pruned with a hatchet at regular intervals and I find no fault on your part with helping with that. Thanks for helping wikipedia be a better encyclopedia.

This conversation is getting odd and I no longer wish to participate in it. I thought it made sense to suggest saying accurate things to people you are trying to give information to. You respond as if you have no choice but to communicate thru a limited number of templates; as if you can't copy and paste any message at all of your own choosing. I don't get it and I don't care anymore. WAS 4.250 07:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm a tad confused about your deletion of all links that Mikeyt931 has added to the Mayo. I followed this from Brachial Plexus, a page I watch due to my carrying a chronic injury in my BP. The pages at the Mayo Clinic are (in my experience anyway) some of the best and clearest describing this part of the body and the various injuries and treatments available. They run rings around the WP article. Internationally the Mayo is regarded as a leading medical institution, with highly regarded research and education programs. I'm not qualified to judge the other pages that had links to Mayo, but on that particular page the external link added to the article. Please note I appreciate the effort you goto to tracking down spammers, but I'm adding that link back into that page purely due to it being such a good resource. Johnpf 13:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Argone233,
Your recent activity regarding this page is inexplicable. How does one define notable? An organization with more than a 1,000 members at colleges and universities around the US and in Germany, does not qualify as "notable". Does an article in the Wall Street Journal suggest notability? I wonder. I have noticed, though, that half of your deletions are challenged by respectable users, somewhat concerning to all I think. For the good of this website,I obviously will have to take this deletion up with Wiki and propose you be sanctioned. Please feel free to justify your actions. All the best, Christopher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christopher Andrade ( talk • contribs) 2007-02-13T13:43:38
Given the (lack of any significant) edit history by Christopher Andrade ( talk · contribs) and MrsCAMEB ( talk · contribs) (which gives the impression of sockpuppets at work) I have a hard time taking anything said in the above messages by very seriously, but I guess I'll invest a few word on this.
I could have added a speed delete tag, but I used a PROD message instead, since I prefer to have a more open discussion on article deletions than speedy's allow for. An admin who is not known to me ( User:Mel Etitis) saw fit to change my prod to a speedy delete, and he explained his reasoning here. As I didn't do the deletion and I am not an admin, if you feel it was in error, please make your appeal to someone that can actually overturn it. As for me, I believe that all I did was to spot someone trying to sneek an article back in, which previously had gone through the proper deletion processes, and that is not the right approach to take if an article should be restored.
As for notability, there were fairly clear guidelines listed in the PROD message. As far as 1000 members in the organization somehow qualifying it for notability, I have been in local church gatherings with more that that in the congregation, I have worked in an office building with more than that in that building, and I have worked for corporations that had more that number of people employed, and that church, building and corporation do not meet the notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Please also keep in mind that the world is a much bigger (and generally better) place than the narrow confines of the college experience might lead you to believe. In the end things made up at school may not be as important to the world at large as you might think they are, even if they are as apparently solid as your organization may seem to you. -- Argon233 T C @ ∉

FYI: You need to follow the Commons:OTRS process for file:Gilbert AZ 2011-10-02 4901.jpg regarding the authors permission (ie Tashaila Nichole Meyers's parents). Other wise someone will come along and tag it "DB-no permision". If you need help, I am more than willing.-- ARTEST4ECHO ( talk/ contribs) 14:10, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that you were working on creating an article about Torleif Knaphus. I thought you'd be interested in a couple of photos that I recently got permission to use from a member of the Knaphus family. ( 1, 2) The high definition handcart bronze is probably not very interesting, but the old black and white has a picture of the man himself. – Adjwilley ( talk) 18:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
