An article you helped edit is being proposed for deletion. PT ( s-s-s-s) 18:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey,
I've seen that you've been editing some of the Halo weapons pages. I would like to inform you that they are being nominated for deletion.
If you want to partake in the discussions, just go to their respective pages, and hit "this article's deletion entry" link.
I'll be on vacation, and will be unable to contribute to these discussions.
Cheers,

Image:NGC 3227.jpg that you uploaded was deleted by user Shizhao as it had no source information. Would you like to reload this picture or should I look for another? JMK 20:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, will look for another. JMK 20:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thanks - I completely missed that! -- Brian Olsen 20:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Your addition of Episode headings is contrary to what's been established in the WP:WHO style guide. We had a discussion about this a long time ago; the adding of episode headers this way adds additional sub-headers in the contents box and also will make the pages inconsistent since not all summaries neatly divide into episodes. The agreement at the time, and as was incorporated into the style guide, was to put in <hr> breaks instead or end it with ellipses. Unobtrusive, and gets the point across. -- khaosworks ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
I think its safe to use the primary source (show itself) as a referance as tech manuals are not necesarily reliable. The contravercy over rank insignia can be covered in the aproporate rank article. -- Cat out 05:25, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
For the love of the God, the article is not uncited. It was discussed long ago that the artcle should be split into separate rank specific articles. When it was, the general agreement was that citiatons for specific ranks should go on specific rank articles. I addition, nearly ALL of the footnotes, in every single rank specific article, was researched and posted by me. So, you state I am inconsiderate and not post my citiations when exactly the opposite is true. Here's a list for you to check out: Lieutenant (Star Trek), Lieutenant Commander (Star Trek), Captain (Star Trek) Commodore (Star Trek) not to mention the text in each of those articles which states where the information comes from and from what on-screen production. A final note to all this, and a lesson well learned here, is that if you make radical edits to well established articles, you will often meet heavy resistance. I have done that before, myself. Use the talk page when resistence is met and, if disputed edits are reverted, post them to the talk page and say "how about this?" instead of putting them on the page over and over again. In any event, I'm off to real world stuff now. See ya. - Husnock 16:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Ages ago you fixed the reference formatting on Spoo, but I was resistent to it and reverted you. I soon came to realize, however, that that particular formatting was superior and I should not have reverted. But, I never got around to thanking you properly for your hard work in the reformatting, so, sorry for being a dunderhead in reverting, and genuine thanks for your hard work. -- Jeffrey O.

You restored this AFDed article ages ago, and I've let it be for absolutely ages. I have however, now tagged it as unreferenced, and will possibly AFD it later (a few weeks at most). - Hahnch e n 03:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: The Jar -- I'm afraid all the information I added was from personal recollection and what I could find with Archive.org. I know memories are not the most reliable, but I did keep up with the Jar when it was still in production... Should the article get put on the AFD list again, then I suggest putting a section for the Jar in with Kittyhawk's new comic, or in an article on Kittyhawk, as has been suggested. -- Areku
Thanks for reading through the abstract on Spartel and paraphrasing it; I've disliked that text since I found it. I wonder, though, if copyright issues exist when the author himself submits the text. But regardless, thanks for cleaning it up! - kotra 04:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for your work on {{ Mortal Kombat series}} (and {{ Mortal Kombat media}}). While I completely agree with the assessment of the template (and what you split out), it would have been nice if you'd asked/told the MK WikiProject; not only would we (probably me) been happy to do the split and subsequent article editing, but it also would have ensured that we didn't use a generic nav box (which I've reformatted to match). Not angry (this post could be interpreted as mildly antagonistic), just dropping you a line. EVula 14:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Heh, so the split wasn't particularly well received by other members of the MK project. We've revised the series template to have all the information, but a bit smaller. No hard feelings, but I'm putting the media template up for deletion now, as it isn't needed anymore.
Oh, and as for switching the layout over (horizontal vs. vertical), I'll play around with the new current one; now that we've trimmed it down some, it might work better that way.
Again, thanks for your work, even if it was summarily rejected by practically everybody. :-) EVula 17:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for adding a table to this list. I notice you're listing the West coordinate. I was under the impression that east coordinates are the way of the future. [1] I have been listing east in the actual articles. What do you think? Marskell 15:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
No, I really have a problem with including the variations at all, since they basically just result from "artistic licence". All that's needed is a single image to show the basic shape (and the most common version—in fact, basically the only one currently used). └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 13:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm seeking out Wikipedia experts to share their methods for the benefit of all. I've set up a Virtual classroom for Wikipedians to learn, teach, and share advanced wiki-skills. Right now the participants are engaged in a show and tell of their user interfaces (the tools we use to navigate and work on Wikipedia, including programs, extensions, scripts, settings, etc.). I hope you will stop by to share and compare. Interiot, Rich Farmbrough, and CBDunkerson have been kind enough to help get things started by describing the interfaces they use. User:Interiot has even completed a new Firefox extension to make navigating Wikipedia easier. It is available in the announcements section on the Virtual classroom page. I'm really curious what tricks and techniques you use. Hope to see you there. The Transhumanist 11:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey Brian, a question on your revert on Vampire lifestyle. If I understand what you are saying from you edit summary it is somehow against policy to remove or otherwise change citations even if I find their inclusion in the article to be inncorrect? NeoFreak 03:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, there is currently some discussion about the proper naming of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle episodes, and as I see that you have been involved with that the discussion in the past, I'd like to ensure that we have your input. It's being discussed both at Talk:List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) episodes and Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television), and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated at both locations, to indicate whether or not you prefer a consistent method of titling TMNT episodes, or a method of "disaambiguate only when needed." Thanks, -- Elonka 23:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
You recently replaced my .jpg version of the Stargate title art with your own SVG art. However your version is incorrect: the Stargate title isn't just Times New Roman with a funny A. Please look at my JPG - the letters are specifically crafted (and compare to the show). I don't know how to make an SVG, but if you could do a direct convert from my version that would be better. Otherwise I might be able to send you the Stargate font i used to make my version. (reply on my talk page please) -- Alfakim-- talk 18:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bryan, could you transfer Xiandai Hanyu changyong zibiao to Wikisource. This will facilitate this project. P.S. maybe you would like to join our new group: WP:Extra-Long Article Committee? Thanks: -- Sadi Carnot 14:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, there appears to be a dispute at various TMNT articles over episode naming. Since you're one of the editors who's been involved with those articles for a long time [3], I wanted to make you aware of the discussion, and ask what your preference was on how the articles should be named? I encourage you to participate at Talk:List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) episodes#Disambiguation and make your opinion known. Thanks. -- El on ka 02:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for the downtime. References converter is now back up and running. About a week ago the hard drive in my server crashed. Luckily it stayed together long enough to allow me to pull all the data off onto a new hard drive, but I still had to go through the process of installing Linux on the new hard drive, installing all the necessary programs, and loading in all of the old data from the server. I got all of my essential services up within two days (CVS, Apache, Wiki), but I kind of forgot about web scripts, which I finally got around to fixing today. Everything should be fully functional again. If you see any bugs, just send me a message. You are receiving this message because you are on the spamlist. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, simply remove your name. -- Cyde Weys 19:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Did you have a specific goal in merging these two articles? They should probably be merged (or at least Skygazing should be redirected) but copying Skygazing into Amateur astronomy has made some massive problems because Skygazing is so very un-encyclopedic, full of redundant sections that should be in other articles, and suffers from general translation problems. I am planning to revert this merger unless you are in the middle of some kind of refinement of the resulting article I am not aware of. Halfblue 23:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I quickly put that template together and was meaning to make those changes. Also, thanks for editing the category out of my sandbox. :: Colin Keigher ( Talk) 01:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
This article, which you started back in '04, was marked for a prod. I removed the tag, saying "divide, not delete" If the article goes to AfD in its current state, it will probably be deleted. Gives you a day or so to fix it. I also notified Marcus2. DGG 01:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I thought that you might be interested that AMK152 proposed, in a series of edits on 27 December 2006, a geotimebox for various articles dealing with the Geologic time scale. For example: AMK152's edit of Hadean looked like this. See discussion at Template talk:Geotimebox. -- Bejnar 21:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello. You kindly supplied some comments on the above article in November. I wrote most of the article and obviously I am concerned if the article seems to be completely unintelligible to most readers. But, being a philosopher, and philosophy being such a notoriously difficult subject to make 'accessible', it's always difficult for me to see how this could be improved.
I asked for comments on the talk page, but no replies. I would like your comments, if possible. If you are not a philosopher, that is great, because I specifically want to hear from non-philosophers. Dbuckner 12:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
The only problem? The software I use doesn't utilize or recognize SVG. And I have no idea how to translate or any software (freeware) that is available. So if someone would point me in the right direction and give me a few pointers about how to do SVG... well, maybe then. The idea of "cleanup", however, is insulting - as it suggests something "wrong" with the image. Rarelibra 14:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Since you participated in previous discussions on Ivory Coast, you might be interested in the requested move at Talk:Côte_d'Ivoire#...Requested_move. — AjaxSmack 06:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Bryan Derksen, I noticed you have an interest in AQ. I'm trying to start a AQ Wikiproject.

Hi,
I'm probably going to remove the reference you just added to the ostrich article, 'cause it's dead. I tried several versions and a brief google search and couldn't find anything. Sorry!
WLU 16:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Gosh and begorah you're right, I added the link back in using webarchive.org. Thanks for the great tip, I wasn't aware of it. The link still isn't a great one considering the website basically existed to sell ostrich products, but oh well. WLU 19:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Re. Arecibo and Pluto: the radar does not work out that far. We don't work beyond Saturn. I'm also not sure what 'at the time' means: Pluto isn't classified as a planet now, and not many scientists have considered it as such for about fifteen years. Pluto cannot ever be observed with Arecibo, so I'm not sure what the relevance is. Michaelbusch 03:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry to have to remove the reference you put in Freemasonry again, but as written (<ref>[[Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica]]</ref>) it did point to the Wikipedia article on Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, and as I'm sure you are aware cannot be used as a reference. May I suggest that you find an online copy of the 1911 EC and link to their article on Freemasonry if you feel this reference is important? WegianWarrior 04:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed that you were a major contributor to WP:D. I have a question regarding naming convention guidelines in WP:D regarding the situation when one entry is a primary meaning. What is your opinion on how you determine whether one meaning is the primary meaning relative to other meanings? For example, if there is a topic XYZ and multiple meanings for XYZ, but one stands out as the primary meaning to me, what necessary and sufficient evidence would you require to be convinced of that, if it's not obvious? Thanks in advance for you consideration of this issue. -- Hamsacharya dan 21:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I really have a problem with including the variations at all, since they basically just result from "artistic licence". All that's needed is a single image to show the basic shape (and the most common version—in fact, basically the only one currently used). └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 13:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Do you honestly beleive that WikiFur was a bad faith nomination? Kingjeff 16:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Do you know a way of consolidating a single reference tag for multiple planets? Like if several planets are mentioned in one episode they can all reference the same source. Or are you planning on consolidating this list to separate alphabetized articles? Cyberia23 08:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I was making a few corrections to entries - spelling and such, I'll hold off if you're changing things. Cyberia23 06:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm seeking out Wikipedia experts to share their methods for the benefit of all. I've set up a Virtual classroom for Wikipedians to learn, teach, and share advanced wiki-skills. Right now the participants are engaged in a show and tell of their user interfaces (the tools we use to navigate and work on Wikipedia, including programs, extensions, scripts, settings, etc.). I hope you will stop by to share and compare. Interiot, Rich Farmbrough, and CBDunkerson have been kind enough to help get things started by describing the interfaces they use. User:Interiot has even completed a new Firefox extension to make navigating Wikipedia easier. It is available in the announcements section on the Virtual classroom page. I'm really curious what tricks and techniques you use. Hope to see you there. The Transhumanist 11:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey Brian, a question on your revert on Vampire lifestyle. If I understand what you are saying from you edit summary it is somehow against policy to remove or otherwise change citations even if I find their inclusion in the article to be inncorrect? NeoFreak 03:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, there is currently some discussion about the proper naming of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle episodes, and as I see that you have been involved with that the discussion in the past, I'd like to ensure that we have your input. It's being discussed both at Talk:List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) episodes and Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (television), and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated at both locations, to indicate whether or not you prefer a consistent method of titling TMNT episodes, or a method of "disaambiguate only when needed." Thanks, -- Elonka 23:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
You recently replaced my .jpg version of the Stargate title art with your own SVG art. However your version is incorrect: the Stargate title isn't just Times New Roman with a funny A. Please look at my JPG - the letters are specifically crafted (and compare to the show). I don't know how to make an SVG, but if you could do a direct convert from my version that would be better. Otherwise I might be able to send you the Stargate font i used to make my version. (reply on my talk page please) -- Alfakim-- talk 18:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bryan, could you transfer Xiandai Hanyu changyong zibiao to Wikisource. This will facilitate this project. P.S. maybe you would like to join our new group: WP:Extra-Long Article Committee? Thanks: -- Sadi Carnot 14:37, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Hiya, there appears to be a dispute at various TMNT articles over episode naming. Since you're one of the editors who's been involved with those articles for a long time [3], I wanted to make you aware of the discussion, and ask what your preference was on how the articles should be named? I encourage you to participate at Talk:List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) episodes#Disambiguation and make your opinion known. Thanks. -- El on ka 02:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for the downtime. References converter is now back up and running. About a week ago the hard drive in my server crashed. Luckily it stayed together long enough to allow me to pull all the data off onto a new hard drive, but I still had to go through the process of installing Linux on the new hard drive, installing all the necessary programs, and loading in all of the old data from the server. I got all of my essential services up within two days (CVS, Apache, Wiki), but I kind of forgot about web scripts, which I finally got around to fixing today. Everything should be fully functional again. If you see any bugs, just send me a message. You are receiving this message because you are on the spamlist. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, simply remove your name. -- Cyde Weys 19:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Did you have a specific goal in merging these two articles? They should probably be merged (or at least Skygazing should be redirected) but copying Skygazing into Amateur astronomy has made some massive problems because Skygazing is so very un-encyclopedic, full of redundant sections that should be in other articles, and suffers from general translation problems. I am planning to revert this merger unless you are in the middle of some kind of refinement of the resulting article I am not aware of. Halfblue 23:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I quickly put that template together and was meaning to make those changes. Also, thanks for editing the category out of my sandbox. :: Colin Keigher ( Talk) 01:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
This article, which you started back in '04, was marked for a prod. I removed the tag, saying "divide, not delete" If the article goes to AfD in its current state, it will probably be deleted. Gives you a day or so to fix it. I also notified Marcus2. DGG 01:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I thought that you might be interested that AMK152 proposed, in a series of edits on 27 December 2006, a geotimebox for various articles dealing with the Geologic time scale. For example: AMK152's edit of Hadean looked like this. See discussion at Template talk:Geotimebox. -- Bejnar 21:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello. You kindly supplied some comments on the above article in November. I wrote most of the article and obviously I am concerned if the article seems to be completely unintelligible to most readers. But, being a philosopher, and philosophy being such a notoriously difficult subject to make 'accessible', it's always difficult for me to see how this could be improved.
I asked for comments on the talk page, but no replies. I would like your comments, if possible. If you are not a philosopher, that is great, because I specifically want to hear from non-philosophers. Dbuckner 12:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
The only problem? The software I use doesn't utilize or recognize SVG. And I have no idea how to translate or any software (freeware) that is available. So if someone would point me in the right direction and give me a few pointers about how to do SVG... well, maybe then. The idea of "cleanup", however, is insulting - as it suggests something "wrong" with the image. Rarelibra 14:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Since you participated in previous discussions on Ivory Coast, you might be interested in the requested move at Talk:Côte_d'Ivoire#...Requested_move. — AjaxSmack 06:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey Bryan Derksen, I noticed you have an interest in AQ. I'm trying to start a AQ Wikiproject. It'd be cool if you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals and add yourself to the list of interested Wikipedians so that we can start up a Adventure Quest Wikiproject. Thank You.

Hi,
I'm probably going to remove the reference you just added to the ostrich article, 'cause it's dead. I tried several versions and a brief google search and couldn't find anything. Sorry!
WLU 16:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Gosh and begorah you're right, I added the link back in using webarchive.org. Thanks for the great tip, I wasn't aware of it. The link still isn't a great one considering the website basically existed to sell ostrich products, but oh well. WLU 19:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
This might save you some typing. ( SEWilco 21:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC))

Re. Arecibo and Pluto: the radar does not work out that far. We don't work beyond Saturn. I'm also not sure what 'at the time' means: Pluto isn't classified as a planet now, and not many scientists have considered it as such for about fifteen years. Pluto cannot ever be observed with Arecibo, so I'm not sure what the relevance is. Michaelbusch 03:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry to have to remove the reference you put in Freemasonry again, but as written (<ref>[[Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica]]</ref>) it did point to the Wikipedia article on Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, and as I'm sure you are aware cannot be used as a reference. May I suggest that you find an online copy of the 1911 EC and link to their article on Freemasonry if you feel this reference is important? WegianWarrior 04:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed that you were a major contributor to WP:D. I have a question regarding naming convention guidelines in WP:D regarding the situation when one entry is a primary meaning. What is your opinion on how you determine whether one meaning is the primary meaning relative to other meanings? For example, if there is a topic XYZ and multiple meanings for XYZ, but one stands out as the primary meaning to me, what necessary and sufficient evidence would you require to be convinced of that, if it's not obvious? Thanks in advance for you consideration of this issue. -- Hamsacharya dan 21:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
