There is a new move request and survey regarding Cork. This time it is proposed to move Cork to Cork (city) in order to move Cork (disambiguation) to Cork. You are being informed since you voted in the last Cork survey. See Talk:Cork. -- Serge 07:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
It was an honest mistake saying that Randy Richardville is a current senator, when he won't take office until 2007. I don't know how I let that slip by when I was proofreading it. As far as the Michigan Senate page, would it be feasible to include those senators who will not be serving beginning 2007, or would it be best to just leave it as it is until the seats officially change hands? — №tǒŖïøŭş 4lĭfė ♫ ♪ 18:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

There's other resources, that back-up March 4th. I find it difficult to believe that Congress (ever 2-years, 1789-1933), didn't exist from 11:59:59 PM EST March 3 until Noon EST March 4. The Constitution clearing says, there's to be a Legislatvie Branch (at all times). GoodDay 21:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
That is good information, but the text of the articles is not describing the term of office of any individual office-holder, but the dates of record that the Congress was in session. I don't think we can say that the Congress was in Session on dates when the historical documentation explicitly says there were not. older ≠ wiser 22:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
No hard feelings, Bkonrad? Though I disagree with the March 3rd date, I won't dispute it any further. PS- as for the 'angels thing', I'm an atheist. GoodDay 22:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
See Talk:Woodrow Wilson#March 4, 1921 for an account of Congress being in session until "just before noon", March 4. They are unlikely to have passed much; Wilson stopped signing bills early that morning. Septentrionalis 23:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the message. I have been adding the bioguide tag because it is not obvious that the material is lifted directly from there. I have been following the Wikipedia and plagiarism news stories goign around so I wanted to make sure the articles I started were properly noted. I can stop though if you think it is not necessary. I notice many of the articles I went to add this to already had the Bioguide tag and also the link to the actual Bio at the Biographical Directory of the US Congress.

Skyemoor has now pushed his "Jefferson founded the Republican Party" phase to the point of giving Jefferson and Lincoln the same entry on the List of United States Presidents. ( diff). He also declares that Lincoln was a radical abolitionist. ( diff.) After squabbling with him on DRP, I don't think he'll listen to me; would you have a word with him? Septentrionalis 04:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
I think the current discussion over at the cities naming convention page is going to drive me completely insane. I had thought that Tariq's proposal had reached a point where it had enough support, and was worded clearly enough, that it could be turned into a full proposal with a full vote, and we could actually see if we could move on. Now we seem to be enmeshed in a discussion around very abstract issues which is certain to never get anywhere. Any thoughts on ways to get back to the concrete proposal? john k 14:01, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Re: 15:47, November 16, 2006 Bkonrad (Talk | contribs) (→Uncontroversial proposals - rm Minnesota Fats, this is not uncontroversial, please relist below if you want to pursue this)
I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that it would not be an uncontroversial move. There is no other pool player whose main article title is their nickname, and I believe the naming guidelines in general at least discourage this (NB: nickname != stage name; it IS proper to have Winona Ryder be her main article title, not Winona Horowitz). Even more importantly, "Minnesota Fats" is clearly ambiguous. It's a moot point now; I've solved the problem with redir and disambig., at Minnesota Fats and Rudolph Wanderone Jr. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ contrib ツ

Why do you keep changing Chairman to chair? The title is Chairman. Are you that picky? "U.S. State" sounds redundant don't you think? That's why I don't use it. I can understand the other edits, I have had some nice tips from you regardless. I'm not trying to make a petty argument...I'm just curious. Jjmillerhistorian 12:31, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Refering to Elly M. Peterson... one site mentioned she was moving to Colorado, but didn't state she was actually living there. I contacted someone from MIGOP and they said their records showed her last place of residence was Des Plaines, Iowa. Of course, I don't know how old that record is. Do I need a site to say "She is currently living and her last known residence was Des Plaines, Iowa."? or will you delete that too? I think that should have been Des Plaines, Illinois. Jjmillerhistorian 12:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the edit on Clevenger, I was a little sloppy there. I was going to create pages for MI US Reps in alphabetical order, but decided to work on each district by chaining them together etc. I also want to find more of these errors like the Samuel Clark page.

What rule of yours or of Wikipedia did it violate since you removed them all
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Berniethomas68 03:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Is this your rule Bkonrad or Wikipedia's rule or a rule put into force and effect by many users of Wikipedia. I can maybe see your point to some extent for cities and for states. But what about just the individual state itself. A small little thumb nail in the upper right hand corner does not clearly indicate what all of the counties are. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Berniethomas68 04:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I understand the reasoning behind why you moved Long Island Iced Tea (cocktail) to Long Island Iced Tea. However, as part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cocktails, we are attempting to make the naming of all cocktails follow the same standard formatting: Name (cocktail). As it stands now, cocktails are very random as to how they are listed. Some (such as LIIT) are listed strictly by the name. Others, are listed as Name cocktail. Others are listed as (drink) or (beverage). While LIIT is not an easily confused name, many of the cocktails are very easily confused with other terms. It makes it a real challenge to keep List of cocktails and several other related pages all properly linked. By standardizing all the cocktails names, it really helps us maintain the project's pages. Obviously, certain beverages ( Sangría comes to mind) are not truly cocktails, thus they are not indicated as such (even though they are listed, which is still something that is being sorted out). I do not wish to get into an edit war with anyone, so I would request that you please put the page back to (cocktails) and redirect the non-disambigued term to it again (redirects are cheap). That would really help me out, and I would really appreciate it. Thanks! And thanks for helping to keep Wikipedia a great place. I see by your contribution history, you perform a lot of gnome work. :-) -- Willscrlt 09:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

That's fine... revert the copy/paste. However, the correct naming is aymguud (or sing. aymag). There is even a wiki entry for subnational entity of aymag. Similar to how Ukraine and others use the proper name of the subnational entity. So if possible, please assist in this move request. Thank you. Rarelibra 21:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Dear Bkonrad—you may be interested in putting your name to, or at least commenting on this new push to get the developers to create a parallel syntax that separates autoformatting and linking functions. IMV, it would go a long way towards fixing the untidy blueing of trivial chronological items, and would probably calm the nastiness between the anti- and pro-linking factions in the project. The proposal is to retain the existing function, to reduce the risk of objection from pro-linkers. Tony 15:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I like the way Robert Johnson has evolved. IMO it is the best human name dab page I have worked on. I would like other hndabs to be formatted like what we collaborated on.

I would appreciate it if you would reconsider the move of Emerson (disambiguation) to Emerson. It had been listed at WP:RM for only a day [1], and there may be others besides myself who consider Ralph Waldo Emerson the primary meaning - and that Emerson should redirect there.

Just so you'll know...
Spring Arbor, Michigan (CDP) is a Census Designated Place used for statistical purposes only by the census, though, while not official municipalities do get listed on wikipedia. The Spring Arbor and Spring Arbor, Michigan (CDP) are duplicate entries, and one need to be deleted.

What is your motivation for erasing my article on Cheryl Cox that had only been up for a couple of minutes? You erased a quote from Education Week, which is not connected to Cheryl Cox, in order to put in quotes from Cheryl Cox's campaign statement and Cheryl Cox's own office!
The only newspaper article you checked was one from the notoriously biased San Diego Union Tribune, and you cherry-picked information from that article.
I was also quoting from the Seattle Times when you stepped in and replaced information that had only been up for a few minutes with campaign material.
Please, at least return to me the article you erased. I would like to use in another place.
By the way, are you sure you have the right Cheryl Cox? Have you confused Cheryl Cox Educational Consultants in Texas with Cheryl Cox, mayor of Chula Vista? What is your personal interest in Cheryl Cox? Why not write your own article instead of replacing someone else's? Mauralarkins 20:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I am concerned about your article about Cheryl Cox because it "creates the potential for a problem of such minor personalities using Wikipedia as a self-promotional vehicle (whether done directly or through surrogates). older ≠ wiser 16:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)"
The least you could do would be to add a page about Steven Padilla from his campaign statements.
Mauralarkins 22:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Surely you jest. Why would I waste my time searching for a variety of articles about a subject, and then writing an article, when you're just going to delete it and replace it with campaign statements and biographies, written by the subject, that you found on Smartvoter? Did you think those statements and biographies were written by unbiased people? You need to look deeper into your sources. Mauralarkins 03:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bkonrad; I just responded to your !vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people by name (2nd nomination) (just letting you know in case you don't have it watchlisted). — Mets501 ( talk) 16:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
It's fine with me if you guys delete the Barbara Comstock page. I didn't start the page, and I chose it randomly to see if it would get deleted even if I added links and quotes showing that this person worked at the DOJ preparing DOJ statements about the Patriot Act. I'm personally glad that I learned about Barbara's existence, because I like to know about people in politics and people in power. But my experiment was simply an effort to find out if Wikipedia would decide to limit others' knowledge of her, and my experiment is producing some very interesting results. I'm a liberal myself, so obviously Barbara Comstock is no hero of mine. I'll be interested in the outcome no matter which way it goes. Mauralarkins 21:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Part of this, of course, is that I am stung by this piece of incivility, and wouldn't mind seeing Ace get his comeuppance; but I am also genuinely puzzled at your haste. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 00:38, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Re Charlotiana: I noticed that myself as well as a bunch of other stuff that I found interesting. I feel like I've heard of "Vandalia" but I essentially am mystified. It'll be interesting to research the old nomenclature and see what it reveals. Good to see you again. jengod 21:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Just so you'll know...
Spring Arbor, Michigan (CDP) is a Census Designated Place used for statistical purposes only by the census, though, while not official municipalities do get listed on wikipedia. The Spring Arbor and Spring Arbor, Michigan (CDP) are duplicate entries, and one need to be deleted.
If the person that created the page doesn't answer me, than one of the entries will be deleted. -- Criticalthinker 00:13, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Instead of deleating all of the information, just put the template {{fact}} citation needed where citation is needed. It is very disruptive to delete such large ammounts of data. Please respond on my talk page. Thanks! Kaspazes talk 14:29, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
What is your motivation for erasing my article on Cheryl Cox that had only been up for a couple of minutes? You erased a quote from Education Week, which is not connected to Cheryl Cox, in order to put in quotes from Cheryl Cox's campaign statement and Cheryl Cox's own office!
The only newspaper article you checked was one from the notoriously biased San Diego Union Tribune, and you cherry-picked information from that article.
I was also quoting from the Seattle Times when you stepped in and replaced information that had only been up for a few minutes with campaign material.
Please, at least return to me the article you erased. I would like to use in another place.
By the way, are you sure you have the right Cheryl Cox? Have you confused Cheryl Cox Educational Consultants in Texas with Cheryl Cox, mayor of Chula Vista? What is your personal interest in Cheryl Cox? Why not write your own article instead of replacing someone else's? Mauralarkins 20:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I am concerned about your article about Cheryl Cox because it "creates the potential for a problem of such minor personalities using Wikipedia as a self-promotional vehicle (whether done directly or through surrogates). older ≠ wiser 16:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)"
The least you could do would be to add a page about Steven Padilla from his campaign statements.

Surely you jest. Why would I waste my time searching for a variety of articles about a subject, and then writing an article, when you're just going to delete it and replace it with campaign statements and biographies, written by the subject, that you found on Smartvoter? Did you think those statements and biographies were written by unbiased people? You need to look deeper into your sources. Mauralarkins 03:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bkonrad; I just responded to your !vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people by name (2nd nomination) (just letting you know in case you don't have it watchlisted). — Mets501 ( talk) 16:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
It's fine with me if you guys delete the Barbara Comstock page. I didn't start the page, and I chose it randomly to see if it would get deleted even if I added links and quotes showing that this person worked at the DOJ preparing DOJ statements about the Patriot Act. I'm personally glad that I learned about Barbara's existence, because I like to know about people in politics and people in power. But my experiment was simply an effort to find out if Wikipedia would decide to limit others' knowledge of her, and my experiment is producing some very interesting results. I'm a liberal myself, so obviously Barbara Comstock is no hero of mine. I'll be interested in the outcome no matter which way it goes. Mauralarkins 21:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
