There's been recent response to your merge proposal at Talk:Cyrenaica in favour of a merge. — AjaxSmack 01:28, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
hi! I just wanted to say "Thank you" to you for
this edit. Good job! I don't really believe in the whole "barnstar" thing, but if you want one for yourself, feel free to consider this the award of one.

I noticed your question at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 March 1#Category:Heterosexual singers about "when an intersection of two categories legitimately creates a notable one", and I wanted to point you to the guideline on categorization by ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality, specifically the section ' Special subcategories', which states (in part):
Dedicated group-subject subcategories, such as Category:LGBT writers or Category:African American musicians, should be created only where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. If a substantial and encyclopedic head article (not just a list) cannot be written for such a category, then the category should not be created. .... Generally, this means that the basic criterion for such a category is whether the topic has already been established as academically or culturally significant by external sources.
For category intersections which do not involve ethnicity, gender, race, religion or sexuality, judgments about usefulness are based on considerations of organizational issues and on whether the intersection is defining for the topics being categorized.
I hope this helps. Cheers, -- Black Falcon ( talk) 21:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Hallo Bejnar, I answered on my Talk page. Cheers, Alex2006 ( talk) 06:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Your edit to Syrtis only surprises me because the article Syrtis Minor states clearly in its lead "The gulf roughly spans the coast from modern day Tripoli..." This you've let remain in "Syrtis Minor" through all your edits there, and this is why in editing the dab page I inferred (apparently wrongly) that you had objections to the "from Sfax" half but not to the "to Tripoli" half. In any case, a disambiguation page can do no better than to state briefly the subjects as defined on the target pages, so the real correction should be made there first. Could you clarify whether you believe that according to the best WP:RS the Gulf of Gabès washes the shore of Libya at all? If so, I would like to see the disambiguation page edited into a form that says so in a way acceptable to you, however indeterminately. In any case, I hope to see Gulf of Gabès become more accurate if there is a problem. Wareh ( talk) 17:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Bejnar, thank you for your time and efforts working on this [1]. Unfortunately I'm unable to participate anymore but I know that you guys will work something out and the naming disputes will be just a bad memory. All the best and good luck.-- Jacurek ( talk) 10:49, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment and leaving a message on my talk. I don't know how I missed it until now. I've replied on the noticeboard. Blackash have a chat 13:37, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Greetings, thanks for the help on Nurgaram District. We have three districts of Nuristan without articles; do those fall into your geo interests?

I just noticed your query about displaying stuff in Nepali and Nepal Bhasa in the Bagmati article. It's dated a while back, but nobody responded.
Wikipedia seems to use Unicode, which theoretically covers all the world's writing systems, but you still need to install a font for each writing system you want to be able to read. A font named Mangal works for devanagari, the writing system used for Nepali, Nepal Bhasa, Hindi, Sanskrit and some others. There probably are other fonts that work. Mangal is a simple sans-serif deal analagous to Arial.
By whatever font, devanagari in Unicode may not work right in Windows 98 or earlier, but I think they had things more or less fixed by Windows 2000. Definitely by XP.
If you read non-Wikipedia material in these langauges, sooner or later you will run into pre-Unicode material. There were competing fonts using different coding systems, but a font named "Preeti" caught on in Nepal, so it's a good one to try first with Nepalese material that doesn't display correctly with Unicode.

You converted the redirect at Kinnikinnick to a disambiguation page, but the primary meaning of kinnikinnick is bearberry. See, for example, here and here. The Cornus sericea article does not, at present, mention kinnikinnick at all. Now the smoking mixture of which the primary ingredient was bearberry was called kinnikinnick, and the root meaning of kinnikinnick is mixture, and the bark of Cornus sericea was added, at some times and places to the smoking mixture to mellow out the smoke, but by far and away the primary meaning of kinnikinnick in both smoking and horticultural terms is bearberry, so it is best to handle the issue with a dab hatnote at bearberry, rather than making kinnikinnick a disambiguation page. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic? and Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation page or disambiguation links? for where there are only two topics. -- Bejnar ( talk) 17:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, why did you consider the Syriac name of Al_Jazira irrelevant? Did you know that this language has its roots there?-- Rafy talk 18:12, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. On Manuel Esperón's page you said that he wrote the songs "Cocula" and "Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes!" for the film "De tal palo tal astilla". The title song from the Disney film "The Three Caballeros" shares its melody with the song "Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes!" and it is my understanding that "Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes!" was written first. However "The Three Caballeros" was released in 1944 and "De tal palo tal astilla" was released in 1960. Where did you get your information that "Ay, Jalisco, no te rajes!" was written for "De tal palo tal astilla"?-- Jpcase ( talk) 01:00, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Aspasia-yearbook-cover-2007.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
