I don't know if you want to add to your comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nigerian traditional rulers - or if your broken arm will let you. This one has got me fixing up List of Nigerian traditional states and starting Nigerian traditional rulers and articles on specific states such as Agaie Emirate and Akwa Akpa. An interesting area (to me) but I am not comfortable with the list itself, which seems likely to stay incoherent. Not a strong opinion - no great harm if the list stays.

Hopefully we are closer to a good article now. I think the reason that things have settled down over the last couple of hours is that it that it is now 5:30AM in the Philippines. Note that the IP vandals also hit Alpha Phi Omega and Tau Gamma Phi, two other Philippines Fraternity. The fact that vandals hit Alpha Phi Omega tells me that they are in the Scouts Royale Brotherhood Forever faction rather than the Scouts Royale Brotherhood Traditional faction...

Hi Bduke, I saw your post on the Wiki Project Australia saying you wanted to contribute. I'm interested in updating the Victoria Office of Police Integrity (OPI) page, as it's written like a press release and doesn't have any discussion on the numerous issues in the OPI (corruption, cover-ups of human rights abuses etc) that are regularly reported in reputable Australian media outlets. I've left a comment in the discussion page with a huge list of links and will be doing more myself. Sorry if this is the wrong area to be posting this, I'm somewhat new to editing and that's part of the reason I'm asking for help with editing the OPI page. Thanks.

Regarding [1], there are a couple things that are supposedly agreed on. It's rather nice when they get done. I've looked several times for references for these tiny "inhabited place" articles, including via library search, and come up empty. How do you think I knew what I said was the case? Or do you think I just made it up? Seraphimblade Talk to me 03:21, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I take your point as well - my personal thought on it is get consensus to merge (which there seems to be - I'm certainly happy with that), do the merge then I don't think there would be any objections to closing the RM as moot. If I'm honest I was thinking I'd be happy to leave your closure but notice you hadn't removed the movereq template so it would still be listed on RM and so as I was going to edit it anyway I chose to undo your close even though I wasn't too bothered either way. If you reclose it I will not oppose as it seems the common sense, ignore all rules, thing to do. Dpmuk ( talk) 00:20, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Brian, I was sitting back re-reading and editing the Scouts Religious section and feel it is probably now getting more space than it deserves. Religion plays little part in the day to day australian scouts activities and it will end up being the biggest section on the page. By highlighting religion and religious intolerance I may be scaring kids off while outside of wiki I am actively trying to recruit kids. The original entry where it stated that scouts was open to non religious faiths was wrong but that has now been modified. Can I propose deleting paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 and 9? I am happy with the wording as is that says that people unable to make the promise can't be members. Anyone with any sense can see that this excludes atheists. -- Ozscout ( talk) 04:41, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bduke
Thanks for your suggested compromise at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 January 24#Old_Edwardians. I'm glad to see that the discussion has now been closed as "rename to People educated at Foo". Thanks for being the one to settle this.
I think that it would be now be appropriate to do as you suggested, and have a followup nomination for the others. I undertook at CFD to do that, but before going ahead I wanted to ask for your thoughts on my idea for how to go about it.
My first thought is to leave aside the 9 original public schools, as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868. Some editors may feel that all of those schools are sufficiently well-known to justify retaining the the "Old Fooians" format, even if it is replaced elsewhere. So I think that they should be treated as a special case. Personally, the only "Old Fooian" term I'm wholly persuaded on keeping is the Old Etonians, but I may be persuadable on some or all of the others ... so I suggest leaving them all aside until the others are done (and possibly omitting them entirely).
My second thought is to group the remainder in batches of about fifty, because if we do all 300 at once, then it'll be difficult to examine whether the titles are sufficiently disambiguated.
How does this sound to you? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.
If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

Hello, I am writing to inform you that there is an error on the Absorption Cross section page. The dimensional analysis does not add up.
I use SI units for simplicity. using the dimensions:
gives the absorption cross section as [gm-2]
Absorption cross section units should be = [m-2]
So this comes from the mistake of using Ma which is not correct, I believe the number should be 1/Avagadros constant i.e. dimensionless or per mol.
As you seem a dab hand at editing and I have no idea. I hope you do not mind me bringing this to your attention with the hope it should be corrected. Such a wonderful resource Wikipedia ChoppyDunbar ( talk) 08:45, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Bduke. I noticed that you created the article on Ibrahim Umar, and also noted from your userpage that (over what I must say sounds like a facinating career) you spent time working at the Bayero University Kano. Therefore I was wondering whether you knew VC Umar during your time at BUK, and whether you are still in contact with him, or happen to know what he is presently up to. He was a student of my late father, and so i'm quite interested to track the progress of his career, and hopefully be able to update his biography a bit.

I think you are right. There are similar problems with his Arabesque (European art) essentially an OR fork of Arabesque_(Islamic_art)#Western_arabesque - he has now renamed that article twice in mid-discussion. To get the full taste of his work, see this version, before I removed the wildest stuff today. There has been lengthy discussion of both articles, all at Talk:Arabesque (Islamic art) ("Total rewrite needed" onwards). He has ideas in his mind when he begins, and won't check them by research. It's a pity as we need editors in this area. Johnbod ( talk) 01:39, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
The discussion of the merge for this article has restarted again after a posting on the helpdesk, I wanted to see what your thoughts are and if they have changes since your last post on this issue considering both pages have undergone revisions since you voiced your opinions. Please check it out and post any changes over here. Thanks. Tiggerjay ( talk) 02:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
I stumbled across the page in the backlogs of the new page patrol and noticed the merge request.

Why would there be 2 copies of (essentially) the same page. If one version gets changed, how do we know which version to keep?

As you seem a dab hand at editing and I have no idea. I hope you do not mind me bringing this to your attention with the hope it should be corrected. Such a wonderful resource Wikipedia ChoppyDunbar ( talk) 08:45, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Brian. You linked to Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan in your argument for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Think of Wikipe-tan!. Did you mean to link Wikipedia:Think of Wikipe-tan!?
On a related note, is the comment by Underween ( talk · contribs), whose account is under two days old, grounds for a block? Underween appears to be a troll. Newyorkbrad ( talk · contribs) speedy closed Underween's first MfD nomination, Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:DustFormsWords/Systemic bias against Transformers, as disruption.

I did not realize it was as bad as 13%. Though I personally like Wikipetan and don't like to see her creator tarred as tarc was doing, I do not want to chase off the editors we have in GGGS taskforce. Is the GGGS Wikipetan I had commissioned offputting?-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 15:27, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Bduke. I noticed that you created the article on Ibrahim Umar, and also noted from your userpage that (over what I must say sounds like a facinating career) you spent time working at the Bayero University Kano. Therefore I was wondering whether you knew VC Umar during your time at BUK, and whether you are still in contact with him, or happen to know what he is presently up to. He was a student of my late father, and so i'm quite interested to track the progress of his career, and hopefully be able to update his biography a bit.

Hi. I am wondering what happened to the discussion about deleting the textbooks which were not really pioneering. Would you mind if I went ahead and deleted the list we had decided on two years ago? As I understand it, this was the last list for deletion:

Hi Bduke, we are planning an IRC meeting to discuss adding Jmol links into Wikipedia - see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemicals#IRC_meeting_to_discuss_possible_addition_of_Jmol_links. I hope it's not too late at night for you to participate (1500h UTC) - but if it is, please leave your comments on-wiki. Thanks, Walkerma ( talk) 16:58, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
I think you are right. There are similar problems with his Arabesque (European art) essentially an OR fork of Arabesque_(Islamic_art)#Western_arabesque - he has now renamed that article twice in mid-discussion. To get the full taste of his work, see this version, before I removed the wildest stuff today. There has been lengthy discussion of both articles, all at Talk:Arabesque (Islamic art) ("Total rewrite needed" onwards). He has ideas in his mind when he begins, and won't check them by research. It's a pity as we need editors in this area. Johnbod ( talk) 01:39, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
The discussion of the merge for this article has restarted again after a posting on the helpdesk, I wanted to see what your thoughts are and if they have changes since your last post on this issue considering both pages have undergone revisions since you voiced your opinions. Please check it out and post any changes over here. Thanks. Tiggerjay ( talk) 02:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
I stumbled across the page in the backlogs of the new page patrol and noticed the merge request. Whilst I'm not sure if consensus has been reached on the merge decision, I would be happy to scale it down before the merge (if, indeed, consensus has been reached). -- Skamecrazy123 ( talk) 21:20, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
That gives us better chances for the project of Scouting in History, then... :-) yamaplos 22:26, 9 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yamaplos ( talk • contribs)
Hi there, I was asked by Drmies to have one editor to review my drafts:) I'm editing "Larry Namer" and "Metan Development Group"'s wiki pages, and I re-edited it again because these are all facts... But I was suggested to have you take a look... Thank you!

"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Australian Politics for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Other editors will also have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. - Mabeenot ( talk) 16:50, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Confused about this. Does the 1839 date refer to the "Boat Race" involving Queens College or the beginnings of the regatta? Sl1dewest ( talk) 17:21, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi, BDuke. Ladyof Shalott and I are interested in broadening the scope of WikiProject Science pearls and making it into something like WikiProject Academic bibliographies. You have carried the ball for this project for so long - would it be o.k. with you? And would you like to join us? Please reply at User talk:RockMagnetist#Invitations.

You could delete Wikipedia:WikiProject Science pearls/List of publications in philosophy then.
Why would there be 2 copies of (essentially) the same page. If one version gets changed, how do we know which version to keep? The live version is preferred, so if it does get deleted, and there is consensus to keep a copy it is uncontroversial to bring it back to to another space.
