Your bot should not link minor characters in Tintin with fr:Séraphin Lampion. Isn't there a page on the french wikipedia which is dedicated to minor characters in Tintin? I moved the inter wiki link inside the article. Glaurung 11:20, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Apologies for removing your blank page notice on Category talk:Australian ODI cricketers. Some templates are routinely put on discussion pages even though they refer to the article. e.g. the {{Featured}} template. Since the category page was blank too, I thought it was one of those. Hesperian 06:24, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
I know. I didn't want to muddy the waters our inexperienced Manu is swimming in by mentioning that the term is sometimes used as a jocular synonym for the proper "les suisses" even in current news reports in the francophone region. For a recent example, see [1]. The same happens, as you are surely aware of, with "die Eidgenossen" in news reports in the german-speaking cantons. I think I've seen this use mostly in sports reports. Lupo 11:04, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Bless you! Your place in heaven will be high. It takes a truely great person to try and fix a problem rather than just let it accumulate. Thanks for the help.
Also, I owe an especially big apology, since my outburst was largly over you comment. I'm not normally so...violent...I guess this was just the straw that broke the camels back. I'll try to be more calm in the future. TomStar81 10:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I've replaced the JPEG logo of SBB-CFF-FFS you uploaded ( Image:Cff logo.jpg) with a PNG version ( Image:CFF logo.png). I've listed the original for deletion—hope this is OK. – Mysid 08:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Sure, no problem Glaurung 17:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to comment on your vote opposing Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/DrugChart, to let you know that the image being voted on is the one containing the text, not the blank background. -- Thoric 23:43, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
I moved the page to a title with a correct spelling. I apologize for any additional confusion this created, but I don't really see any sense in having a page with a misspelled title to make things easier for some bureaucratic process to take place. Assume some good faith please. ( ESkog)( Talk) 08:34, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, I was gonna write a note about the talk page my self, but didn't want to act too needy so it was nice with a little team play :) I'm just glad it was done quickly. Poulsen 14:36, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your comment that "The mountain is the subject of interest but represents only about 5% of the image surface". The title of the picture makes it clear that the mountain range is the subject of the picture. However I agree it is probably too distant even then, thanks for your comments.

Your sentence about Expo.02 and taxpayer money has been removed for the second time on the Neuchâtel article. It is POV and does not belong to that article, so please stop adding it. However, you are welcome to edit the Expo.02 page and give us a little bit more information about the financial scandal side of the exhibition. But try to remain objective and cite your sources. I've already written a phrase or two on the subject, and if you have any precise figures, do not hesitate to share your information.
Howdy, Glad someone watches carefully that NO OPINION is expressed. Don't go too far ! I'm afraid this belongs to a new social disease called "politically correct at any price", a behavior that can, in some instances, produce disasters. To the point: I would agree that the original phrasing was not appropriate. However, it is a fact that the event in 2002 did cost a large amount of TAX MONEY. Pointing this out enclines maybe some readers to start a mental process ... If you have a good link on the topic, why not add it ? I will think about phrasing it another way. Take care, Filou.
Good morning Glaurung, thank you for replying. Look at the present way to phrase the issue. I believe it is now factual ONLY ! Take care, Filou.
While a seperate for each main character is a good thing, the complete removal of all info on the main characters from the main article serves no purpose, as you loose a big part of what captures the reader - to read the article it is necessary to care, and without any mention of the characters at all, it becomes a dull article on fictional countries and merchandise. Worst of all - the article is a featured article, such blanking of vital information makes the page sub-standard for FA status. Also, if the characters truely deserves individual articles, they'll have plenty more info, and the sections in "Adventures" are good summaries. I'll revert your edit, and reinstate the info that made the article featured. Poulsen 13:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
