Dear JamesBWatson,
LO MÁS IMPORTANTE DE LA VIDA ES NO HABER MUERTO is an important arthouse film, with notable Spanish actors, namely Emilio Gutiérrez Caba and Marián Aguilera. The film will be completed September 2009 and will start on the festival/ theatrical distribution circuit soonafter.
The page is not worthy of deletion. Both actors have requested cross-references from their English and Spanish wiki pages.
Please contact me saskia_vischer@mac.com if you require any additional information.

Thanks for placing NOINDEX in my Sandbox code. I was unaware that I needed to take this step, and another editor had previously deleted my entire sandbox page (with some work I had been keeping on it that wasn't fully backed up on my hard drive) without explaining to me that they did so because it was improperly showing up in the index.

Thanks for your message. I've read the Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing essay, and it states "Closely paraphrased material that infringes on the copyright of its source material should be rewritten or deleted to avoid infringement". I believe the offending sections have been rewritten per this essay - it says nothing about having to delete the entire article and start from scratch. The policy Wikipedia:Copyright violations states that text in violation of copyright should be removed or rewritten. Many articles have text pasted into them in violation of copyright and this is simply reverted. If this is incorrect, can I suggest that you ask an administrator to delete those versions from the article history that are in breach of copyright, though of course this may raise issues regarding attribution. If you believe that the guidelines should state that an article containing copyright violations should be deleted and recreated then perhaps you could also raise this at the appropriate forum so that the guidelines and policies can be changed or clarified?

I moved Qaimganj. Talk:Kaimganj contained a post by you, which I'm copying here in case you want to reinsert it into the new Talk:Kaimganj:
Wikipedia's policy on [[Wikipedia:Naming_conventions|the naming of articles]] is that we should normally use the name most commonly used and recognised in English. My investigation indicates that "Kaimanj" is ''far'' more common in English than "Qaimanj": for example a Google search for pages in English containing "Qaimganj" produces 203 hits, while a similar search for "Kaimganj" produces 9650. (It does not, in fact, make much difference if we do not restrict the search to pages in English: the corresponding figures are respectively 234 and 10600.) Consequently the article's title should be "Kaimganj", not "Qaimganj". [[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]] ([[User talk:JamesBWatson|talk]]) 11:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

It started out as a hoax, but after re-reading, I came across this gem: "By this time she had finished her ninth volume, The Politics of Puberty, which analysed angst in the international arena and gave advice on how to pick up men. A friend at the time, Percy Rockefeller-Vanderbilt III, remembered, “Everybody liked Caroline at Exeter. Her ability to change water into wine added to her popularity.” Comparing someone to Jesus Christ and claiming that they gave advice on how to pick up men crossed the line from hoax, to personal defamation/attack.

Hi James, I've just deleted a couple of articles that you tagged for deletion, and noticed that you hadn't templated the author. Now sometimes giving a spammer yet another template is a waste of electrons, but in these cases it was the newbies first article, and if you don't use the template that the tag generates for those people they might not learn why their article has just disappeared. Sorry if that sounds like nagging and thanks for the tags. Ϣere SpielChequers 13:38, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

hi
Well James, i guess you are mistaken brother. I am trying my best to help wikipedia get the right and true info. While i am also noticing repeated false editing by other users on Shia related personalities and articles. Muhammed Ali Jinnah and Fatima Jinnah are the two article that are being monitored by me, on which i have seen false information regarding the personalities. For which i have to repeatedly re-edit the articles an restore them back to their original status. I have provided neutral and true references supporting the claim for this true information. But i am unable to stop or comprehend those culprits who repeatedly falsify the information. My given reference are: [1] [2] [3] [4]
You can kindly check the links for your personal satisfaction. While on the other hand i'll request you to ban those culprits from future edits on these articles. I have already protested about this on the Jinnah Talk page you can read it. But no action has been taken so far by you or by the Admin. Hence i had to put the articles on my checklist. I hope you will take an action against these members. While you can trust me, i'll go on contributing the right info on Wikipedia. You can see my known edits in Pakistan Army section, for which i have be selected as a team member.

Hi. Not sure if you noticed, but the author of the article removed your PROD. Since then he has made some additions to the article, but there are still several issues, especially regarding notability. I'm kinda on the fence with respect to an AfD. What's your opinion? The author is not very cooperative, in fact he keeps removing the maintenance templates from the article. Favonian ( talk) 18:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok first off, whoever wrote the whole article about the sling (weapon), had his facts messed up,and also seemed to belittle the sling as a weapon. As you might not have seen, there are lots of complaints on the discussion section about the article, some people are complaining (and I agree with them) about the sling not being able to penetrate armor. Heres the quote : “Ancient authors seemed to believe, incorrectly, that sling-bullets could penetrate armour” . And there is a quote from a roman author : The late Roman writer Vegetius, in his work De Re Militari, wrote: Recruits are to be taught the art of throwing stones both with the hand and sling. The inhabitants of the Balearic Islands are said to have been the inventors of slings, and to have managed them with surprising dexterity, owing to the manner of bringing up their children. The children were not allowed to have their food by their mothers till they had first struck it with their sling. Soldiers, notwithstanding their defensive armour, are often more annoyed by the round stones from the sling than by all the arrows of the enemy. Stones kill without mangling the body, and the contusion is mortal without loss of blood. It is universally known the ancients employed slingers in all their engagements. There is the greater reason for instructing all troops, without exception, in this exercise, as the sling cannot be reckoned any encumbrance, and often is of the greatest service, especially when they are obliged to engage in stony places, to defend a mountain or an eminence, or to repulse an enemy at the attack of a castle or city.
Now come on, if you know anything at all about slings, you got to admit that this is the most ridiculous description about slings, and it might lead readers to think that slings aren’t that deadly of weapons.
And also, staff slings, whoever wrote this thinks staff slings deliver greater range than a hand sling, which is ABSURD. Staff slings cannot deliver as much centrifugal force as a hand sling, period.
So the conclusion is that this article needs to be fixed and have other quotes talking about what slings can really do.
Something needs to be done about this so people learning about the sling knows its true potential, and that it’s not a toy!!!
What are your thoughts?

Hello, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I have noticed that edits reverted because they are vandalism sometimes no longer can be viewed from the history section of an article, such as some recent edits to the Jodie Sweetin article. Can you tell me why that is and when this started? Thanks! Faethon Ghost ( talk) 14:53, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi.
Placing {{
hangon}} on the
WP:CSD page is a rather common mistake, happens from time to time. It was reverted, and the user added the hangon tag a couple minutes later at the proper place, the
Danalee Jean Fowler article. It still was deleted, as was
Danalee Fowler. At this point, I'd already be happy if he ever returned here, and offered some more volunteer time.
Those uw-* warnings are not placed procedurally, and are not an end in itself. Can you explain the value of placating the talk page of a new user, who made his first article, made two accidental edits in the process, and had his articles deleted, and how this is benefiting the encyclopedia?

Buongiorno. I'm Mrs Donati, the secretary of the "Città di Brescia" international violin competition. I don't understand why you removed our links in the WFIMC page: we are WFIMC member since 2005, these aren't promotional links, are just to inform about what is true. You asked also abut more references for the page in wikipedia and you removed the list of the past winners and past jurors: I'm really sorry, but I don't understand Your decision. The page was written following the style of others competitions' wikipedia's pages. In fact, all competitions' wikipedia's pages report the list of the past competition's editions. I'd like to inform You that the "Città di Brescia" International Violin Competition is really one of the most prestigious Competition in the world, not a young Prize to need particular promotion. Our organization exists to help the careers of the young performers and to promote the winners is one of our objectives. So to describe like "promotional" what is simply an "historical" information could appeare like a complete mistake. Thanks for helping and sorry for my bad english. All the best. Giovanna Donati --- "Città di Brescia" International violin competition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.37.210.93 ( talk • contribs) 14:11, 25 September 2009
Buongiorno, Signora Donati. I have now restored your link in the WFIMC article. I saw a lot of new editing concerning this competition, and formed the impression that it was being done by someone working for the competition organisers, which you have now confirmed. You may or may not know that Wikipedia generally discourages editing of an article about an organisation by someone working for that organisation, as it can lead to a conflict of interest. Unfortunately such editing is frequently done to promote or advertise an organisation. Because of this, when I see editing which appears to be done by an involved person I tend to look for anything which looks promotional, and adding links to other articles is frequently a way this is done. In your case, now that I have thought about it, I think that the link is legitimate, whether or not you intended it to be promotional. On the question of lists of past winners, I think they are much better in their present form: the way they were originally laid out seemed to me to be excessivley long. I am not entirely convinced, though, that the purpose of including lists of winners is not to promote those winners, which would not be consistent with Wikipedia's policies.
As for the references, it is Wikipedia policy that information should be included only if it can be confirmed from independent sources: the organisation's own web site, publications, etc are not good enough on their own. JamesBWatson ( talk) 14:35, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the answer. To use wikipedia is a little difficult for new "writers", next time I'll try to follow your kind instructions. Thanks. Giovanna
However, when I created that page, I knew a proof (that I later forgot). And some 6 months ago, an example sheet question taught me a presumably different proof, involving a reduction formula, polynomials multiplied by sin and cos terms, and some sort of factorial contradiction. But I've since forgotten that proof, although given the starting integral I could probably reconstruct it. Anyway, seeing as I barely edit on here anymore, time to blank that page I think...
Now, let's see, I think it was 4 tildes...

I started learning Wikipedia three months ago. Recently I reworded an entire section of WP:fringe, changing it's three paragraphs to four, and adding some new ideas. Well, it was reverted, but I was determined to discuss my ideas. It took only one day for me to get six different editors' consistent remarks showing general distaste of the style and wording. The next day I took my lumps and conceded the debate, and bowed out as honorably as I could. It was clearly a messy and sorry experience for me there. For four days, I thought it was over.
Then you came along yesterday and said 2500 words on an article discussion page in which were phrases like
saying my user name over ten times. In the first paragraph alone you fire ten questions. Later you find a mistakes I made in my word choice ("explicate"), and you hammer away at nothing I meant.
You obviously were thorough in your review of the discussion before you made your entry. I am at a loss, then, for your reasoning: why that tone (on an article discussion page)? I respectfully request a simple confirmation that I appeared to need to hear all that. Finally, did you have a real expectation at any kind of answer or discussion? If so, I would be honored for a gentler dialog.
I would sincerely appreciate and be honored to receive on my user page, any remarks about Cpiral in general, and my general style. If you would like to share your personal opinion about me or my style, or an opinion about other editors opinions of a particular issue, I think these kinds of things are best kept to our user pages. I have a subpage with my work on fringe theory. I'll finish it up tomorrow, and then your opinion would be valued. I'm sorry to have to waste your valued time on the old piece.

Hiya.
I greatly appreciate your edits to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but one image you returned to the article, File:FSM Logo on bumper.JPG, has some oddish copyright issues, as you can see on the review page. I had removed the image because I thought it not worth the trouble; I have no problem with it being in the article, of course, as long as the copyright issues are resolved. So, could you either remove the image or take the necessary actions to correct the image? Should you choose the latter, please make that known on the GA review page I wiki-linked above.

Hi James. I just removed your speedy deletion tag from Ed Johnson (victim of lynching). I thought citing a book about the case which claims it "launched 100 years of federalism" amounted to an implicit claim of importance, or at least shows that one can be made. Whether he's notable on his own or should perhaps be merged into Lynching of Ed Johnson or something, I don't know.

I know that the sources referenced are valid (from the article). If different citations are needed, please inform me. I have the information from the direct magazines the article referenced, and can use that as a point of reference. Would this be a valid source of reference?

I had noticed that you added the example of Hamilton's quaternions to Ring (mathematics). Is this, in your view, an important first example of a ring? I personally feel that an inexperienced reader should first become accustomed to basic examples, such as the field of real numbers (which form a commutative ring), before noncommutative examples are introduced. On the other hand, it would be great if we could include a section on the quaternions, equipped with a detailed discussion of its properties and why it is noncommutative. However, I think that if this example is unaccompanied by explanation, it diverts the novice's attention (who will then proceed to click on the link, forgetting that he/she was in the progress of reading the article...). In particular, although the quaternions form an excellent example of a noncommutative division algebra, they certainly do not carry the intuitive nature of the complex numbers, which more people are familiar with (and which remains unmentioned). What is your opinion? -- PS T 14:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I've read the Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing essay, and it states "Closely paraphrased material that infringes on the copyright of its source material should be rewritten or deleted to avoid infringement". I believe the offending sections have been rewritten per this essay - it says nothing about having to delete the entire article and start from scratch. The policy Wikipedia:Copyright violations states that text in violation of copyright should be removed or rewritten. Many articles have text pasted into them in violation of copyright and this is simply reverted. If this is incorrect, can I suggest that you ask an administrator to delete those versions from the article history that are in breach of copyright, though of course this may raise issues regarding attribution. If you believe that the guidelines should state that an article containing copyright violations should be deleted and recreated then perhaps you could also raise this at the appropriate forum so that the guidelines and policies can be changed or clarified?

I moved Qaimganj. Talk:Kaimganj contained a post by you, which I'm copying here in case you want to reinsert it into the new Talk:Kaimganj:
Wikipedia's policy on [[Wikipedia:Naming_conventions|the naming of articles]] is that we should normally use the name most commonly used and recognised in English. My investigation indicates that "Kaimanj" is ''far'' more common in English than "Qaimanj": for example a Google search for pages in English containing "Qaimganj" produces 203 hits, while a similar search for "Kaimganj" produces 9650. (It does not, in fact, make much difference if we do not restrict the search to pages in English: the corresponding figures are respectively 234 and 10600.) Consequently the article's title should be "Kaimganj", not "Qaimganj". [[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]] ([[User talk:JamesBWatson|talk]]) 11:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

hi
Well James, i guess you are mistaken brother. I am trying my best to help wikipedia get the right and true info. While i am also noticing repeated false editing by other users on Shia related personalities and articles. Muhammed Ali Jinnah and Fatima Jinnah are the two article that are being monitored by me, on which i have seen false information regarding the personalities. For which i have to repeatedly re-edit the articles an restore them back to their original status. I have provided neutral and true references supporting the claim for this true information. But i am unable to stop or comprehend those culprits who repeatedly falsify the information. My given reference are: [1] [2] [3] [4]
You can kindly check the links for your personal satisfaction. While on the other hand i'll request you to ban those culprits from future edits on these articles. I have already protested about this on the Jinnah Talk page you can read it. But no action has been taken so far by you or by the Admin. Hence i had to put the articles on my checklist. I hope you will take an action against these members. While you can trust me, i'll go on contributing the right info on Wikipedia. You can see my known edits in Pakistan Army section, for which i have be selected as a team member.

Ok first off, whoever wrote the whole article about the sling (weapon), had his facts messed up,and also seemed to belittle the sling as a weapon. As you might not have seen, there are lots of complaints on the discussion section about the article, some people are complaining (and I agree with them) about the sling not being able to penetrate armor. Heres the quote : “Ancient authors seemed to believe, incorrectly, that sling-bullets could penetrate armour” . And there is a quote from a roman author : The late Roman writer Vegetius, in his work De Re Militari, wrote: Recruits are to be taught the art of throwing stones both with the hand and sling. The inhabitants of the Balearic Islands are said to have been the inventors of slings, and to have managed them with surprising dexterity, owing to the manner of bringing up their children. The children were not allowed to have their food by their mothers till they had first struck it with their sling. Soldiers, notwithstanding their defensive armour, are often more annoyed by the round stones from the sling than by all the arrows of the enemy. Stones kill without mangling the body, and the contusion is mortal without loss of blood. It is universally known the ancients employed slingers in all their engagements. There is the greater reason for instructing all troops, without exception, in this exercise, as the sling cannot be reckoned any encumbrance, and often is of the greatest service, especially when they are obliged to engage in stony places, to defend a mountain or an eminence, or to repulse an enemy at the attack of a castle or city.
Now come on, if you know anything at all about slings, you got to admit that this is the most ridiculous description about slings, and it might lead readers to think that slings aren’t that deadly of weapons.
And also, staff slings, whoever wrote this thinks staff slings deliver greater range than a hand sling, which is ABSURD. Staff slings cannot deliver as much centrifugal force as a hand sling, period.
So the conclusion is that this article needs to be fixed and have other quotes talking about what slings can really do.
Something needs to be done about this so people learning about the sling knows its true potential, and that it’s not a toy!!!
What are your thoughts?

Hi.
Placing {{

Danalee Jean Fowler article. It still was deleted, as was
Danalee Fowler. At this point, I'd already be happy if he ever returned here, and offered some more volunteer time.
Those uw-* warnings are not placed procedurally, and are not an end in itself. Can you explain the value of placating the talk page of a new user, who made his first article, made two accidental edits in the process, and had his articles deleted, and how this is benefiting the encyclopedia?

Buongiorno. I'm Mrs Donati, the secretary of the "Città di Brescia" international violin competition. I don't understand why you removed our links in the WFIMC page: we are WFIMC member since 2005, these aren't promotional links, are just to inform about what is true. You asked also abut more references for the page in wikipedia and you removed the list of the past winners and past jurors: I'm really sorry, but I don't understand Your decision. The page was written following the style of others competitions' wikipedia's pages. In fact, all competitions' wikipedia's pages report the list of the past competition's editions. I'd like to inform You that the "Città di Brescia" International Violin Competition is really one of the most prestigious Competition in the world, not a young Prize to need particular promotion. Our organization exists to help the careers of the young performers and to promote the winners is one of our objectives. So to describe like "promotional" what is simply an "historical" information could appeare like a complete mistake. Thanks for helping and sorry for my bad english. All the best.

Buongiorno, Signora Donati. I have now restored your link in the WFIMC article. I saw a lot of new editing concerning this competition, and formed the impression that it was being done by someone working for the competition organisers, which you have now confirmed. You may or may not know that Wikipedia generally discourages editing of an article about an organisation by someone working for that organisation, as it can lead to a conflict of interest. Unfortunately such editing is frequently done to promote or advertise an organisation. Because of this, when I see editing which appears to be done by an involved person I tend to look for anything which looks promotional, and adding links to other articles is frequently a way this is done. In your case, now that I have thought about it, I think that the link is legitimate, whether or not you intended it to be promotional. On the question of lists of past winners, I think they are much better in their present form: the way they were originally laid out seemed to me to be excessivley long. I am not entirely convinced, though, that the purpose of including lists of winners is not to promote those winners, which would not be consistent with Wikipedia's policies.
As for the references, it is Wikipedia policy that information should be included only if it can be confirmed from independent sources: the organisation's own web site, publications, etc are not good enough on their own. JamesBWatson ( talk) 14:35, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the answer. To use wikipedia is a little difficult for new "writers", next time I'll try to follow your kind instructions. Thanks. Giovanna
However, when I created that page, I knew a proof (that I later forgot). And some 6 months ago, an example sheet question taught me a presumably different proof, involving a reduction formula, polynomials multiplied by sin and cos terms, and some sort of factorial contradiction. But I've since forgotten that proof, although given the starting integral I could probably reconstruct it. Anyway, seeing as I barely edit on here anymore, time to blank that page I think...
Now, let's see, I think it was 4 tildes...

I started learning Wikipedia three months ago. Recently I reworded an entire section of WP:fringe, changing it's three paragraphs to four, and adding some new ideas. Well, it was reverted, but I was determined to discuss my ideas. It took only one day for me to get six different editors' consistent remarks showing general distaste of the style and wording. The next day I took my lumps and conceded the debate, and bowed out as honorably as I could. It was clearly a messy and sorry experience for me there. For four days, I thought it was over.
Then you came along yesterday and said 2500 words on an article discussion page in which were phrases like
saying my user name over ten times. In the first paragraph alone you fire ten questions. Later you find a mistakes I made in my word choice ("explicate"), and you hammer away at nothing I meant.
You obviously were thorough in your review of the discussion before you made your entry. I am at a loss, then, for your reasoning: why that tone (on an article discussion page)? I respectfully request a simple confirmation that I appeared to need to hear all that. Finally, did you have a real expectation at any kind of answer or discussion? If so, I would be honored for a gentler dialog.
I would sincerely appreciate and be honored to receive on my user page, any remarks about Cpiral in general, and my general style. If you would like to share your personal opinion about me or my style, or an opinion about other editors opinions of a particular issue, I think these kinds of things are best kept to our user pages.

[5] because there were various errors in the item, I had the bad idea (because of ignorance) of using his name as username. But I think the item is not biased I just cited many facts without expressing any ideas on him or his work, it can still be edited but if you can please help me get rid of the:
"A major contributor to this article appears to have a conflict of interest with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page"
I will be very happy and I promise never try to correct any other item in wikipedia, not to ruin anybody's article "by my contribution" thank you

Thank you for your help and kind words. Regarding Bonkyl Kirk, I thought that by placing points of reference in the 'references area' was enough to justify. I really do not understand what inline citations are. I am a write of Scottish Social history but obviously writing articles is different from writing on Wikipedia. I must add, I am hopeless regarding computers and some of the reference phrasing - like inline citations, I'm sorry _ Jamea-- Jimmydenham ( talk) 19:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Not sure what you had in mind with this edit; those date headers are not unnecessary. — Steve Summit ( talk) 20:24, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello JBW. You tagged
GCYPAA for speedy deletion, but you did not notify the article's creator that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the creators of articles tagged for speedy deletion should be warned and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. All of the major speedy deletion templates contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and past to the creator's talk page.

I hope you realise what was wrong with this edit. I did not bother to convert it - if that user has not got the message by now, they never will! — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 18:29, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Hiya.
I greatly appreciate your edits to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but one image you returned to the article, File:FSM Logo on bumper.JPG, has some oddish copyright issues, as you can see on the review page. I had removed the image because I thought it not worth the trouble; I have no problem with it being in the article, of course, as long as the copyright issues are resolved. So, could you either remove the image or take the necessary actions to correct the image? Should you choose the latter, please make that known on the GA review page I wiki-linked above. Thanks, Mnation2 ( talk) 18:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thank you for telling me that i'll search more carefully this time but can you simplfy some of your responses cause some words i really dont understand what they mean. it like a secret code you have to decipher. its just a suggestion and thanks again bye :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mia9013 ( talk • contribs) 18:55, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
The motto is be bold so I have invoked the MiszaBot at the top of this page. But feel free to remove it. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 22:55, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is NOS (drink). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NOS (drink). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Jane Wattenberg is a great illustrator, photographer, and artist. I believe that she deserves to be recognized on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemonxjuice ( talk • contribs) 14:38, 22 October 2009
Hi, JamesBWatson,
Thank you for your edit correction in the eSignal article back to NinjaTrader from the ShareScope (possible spam) edit made by Nomad0404 on October 5. I really appreciate help in keeping the article accurate.

Hello, JBW … I noticed that you edited User talk:Ali Muratovic to wikilink section headings generated by {{ PRODwarning}} … FYI, I have edited the template so that now it generates them automagically, just like the {{ nn-warn}} template for speedy deletions … Happy Editing! — 141.156.161.245 ( talk · contribs) 10:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello again, JBW … FYI, when you {{ PROD}}, {{ Prod-2}}, or contest a PROD, please remember to add or update the {{ Oldprodfull}} template on the article's talk page … this is handy because PROD may only be used once, and it is not always apparent from the edit summaries in the article's History that this has been done.
Happy Editing! — 141.156.161.245 ( talk · contribs) 18:35, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi James. I just removed your speedy deletion tag from Ed Johnson (victim of lynching). I thought citing a book about the case which claims it "launched 100 years of federalism" amounted to an implicit claim of importance, or at least shows that one can be made. Whether he's notable on his own or should perhaps be merged into Lynching of Ed Johnson or something, I don't know.
Believe it or not I wasn't actually stalking you when I found this - I just opened Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and clicked on some random links. Small wiki! Olaf Davis ( talk) 16:25, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I am new to wikipedia, and at times can get bogged down in the language. The contribution i made recently was taken off of the wiki. Can you please tell me what can be adjusted? I know that the sources referenced are valid (from the article). If different citations are needed, please inform me. I have the information from the direct magazines the article referenced, and can use that as a point of reference. Would this be a valid source of reference?

Thank you for your input James. I will be reposting the site, with verifiable newspaper articles as well. While it is true, that Vividbraille does have blog entries, social pages, etc. the company does have credible resources that will be referenced. Thanks again for your help clarifying the issue.-- Chart6789 ( talk) 21:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello James. If you nominate an article for speedy deletion, don't forget to notify the original page creator. You should copy the tag from the bottom of the warning and add it to the talk page of the creator. Thank you. -- Vejvančický ( talk) 08:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi - I am unsure why our link on the Olympia Pages was removed as there are 10+ other links on the same section.
This is not advertising we are a consistent user of the Olympia venue for our events and this clearly demonstrates the use of the Olympia venue.
Please reply and re-instate.

I noticed that you are a mathy. Could you please see if you can help Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. There is nothing specifically wrong with it, I would just like it to be as helpful as possible to the general public. If you are not interested, perhaps you could recommend it to someone else as a nice project.-- Waywethin ( talk) 21:30, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi - The "simpler wording" you reverted this page back to is incorrect. The correct definition for a VBA was in my revision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Backup_Appliance —Preceding unsigned comment added by Train123 ( talk • contribs) 12:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I had noticed that you added the example of Hamilton's quaternions to Ring (mathematics). Is this, in your view, an important first example of a ring? I personally feel that an inexperienced reader should first become accustomed to basic examples, such as the field of real numbers (which form a commutative ring), before noncommutative examples are introduced. On the other hand, it would be great if we could include a section on the quaternions, equipped with a detailed discussion of its properties and why it is noncommutative. However, I think that if this example is unaccompanied by explanation, it diverts the novice's attention (who will then proceed to click on the link, forgetting that he/she was in the progress of reading the article...). In particular, although the quaternions form an excellent example of a noncommutative division algebra, they certainly do not carry the intuitive nature of the complex numbers, which more people are familiar with (and which remains unmentioned). What is your opinion? -- PS T 14:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
