I noticed you added SlickEdit to the Orthodox text editors category. What, precisely, is an Orthodox text editor? I've never heard of it before. Was it meant as a joke? — Frecklefoot | Talk 12:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Ditto XEDIT et al. If you're going to advance this unusual "Orthodox editor" idea, I suggest you start by creating the article, not the category. The category won't last long without an article to back it up. Good luck with it — it's an interesting perspective. RossPatterson 02:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jerome:
I saw your note at Talk:Ne me quitte pas. Thanks.
I rarely stick in citation needed tags. My theory is that if every unsourced statement in Wikiland was tagged, the storage capacity needed would increase by 10%.

A tag has been placed on Beer Looter Dude requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

I reverted this edit. This is a style that is common in scientific writing, and is used in many articles on Wikipedia. The idea is simple: equations fit into the flow of the text, and are punctuated as if the equation were replaced by the words you would say when reading it aloud. In this case, the periods are there because the equations fall at the end of a sentence, and sentences end in periods. In other cases the sentence may continue after the equation, and the equation may be followed by a comma if the context requires it. -- Srleffler ( talk) 16:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

When You created the Ramstedt article, You apparently used the Finnish / Swedish spelling of his first name (GustaF). I wonder if that is what we should use, since all the English-language references (e.g., the obit and Krippes - I don't have physical access to the original articles by Ramstedt, so I don't know how his name was spelled in his publications) I have seen to his work use a different spelling (GustaV).

Thank you for linking Bulgarian dances. The article Musical ensemble though does not mention the Bulgarian "wedding " style bands, which are on Bulgarian music. And the article Beat (music) as it stands, is hard to apply to Bulgarian music, as the metric time unit is too short to be recognized as a "beat"; the Harvard Concise dictionary of music says it is real or imagined conductor strokes, which then can be both more (at slow tempo) or fewer (at hight tempo) than the measurement unit of the meter.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Michel Potay. 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/Michel Potay. 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.

This article was deleted rather recently, see [2]. You should add the two inline refs I used for it in the GNU Screen article, otherwise it's likely it will be deleted again. Also, ask an admin, e.g. User:DGG to WP:USERFY the old article to your userspace. It had some info worth restoring, I think. The German LinuxUser article is pretty good, there's also a Spanish version of it, but no English one that I could find. Pcap ping 05:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether you've checked the sources. Please be specific and tell me what precisely are the copyrighted passages - not references - that are objectionable.
In filling out the article I used multiple sources, most of them repeating the same information. These are historical sources and the material is very often derivative in the first place, a large part in most cases drawn from and often bulk-quoting Butler's Lives of the Saints, over two centuries old. I rewrote most of it, partly because of awareness of coyright issues, partly because Butler's original antiquated language was inappropriate, but mostly to give a synoptic view.
The Saint Patrick's link was an existing one. I followed it for another reference and found it wasn't working, so wasn't able to check it let alone use it. The Findagrave material is clearly derivative in the first place, as is most of the celt-saints material, which is from a public e-group and much of it repeated on at least one other public e-group.
As I said, be specific about the issues. Just because I've cited a reference doesn't mean that it's the only source. I cite a reference because if you don't the article gets deleted, as confirmation of facts not as an acknowledgment of creative debt. If I've used any creative materials that are legitimately copyrighted just get rid of it. If you can't be bothered to go through it in detail just revert the whole article, because I certainly can't be bothered, I've now spent as much time as I intend to on it.
I only worked on the article because it was cited as an article that help was needed expanding. It was interesting, of course, but as far as I'm concerned it's water under the bridge. Just get rid of it if you think it's inappropriate. Be sure that you are doing it for good reason rather than on the basis of automatic warning signals generated by thre use of referencesbut otherwise do whatever you like. I find too much effort is wasted too often at Wikipedia, it's better to move on. Enough, goodbye to Richard the Pilgrim, good luck with it. Opbeith ( talk) 09:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
I think Richard's article is actually rather an interesting subject because his family (and obviously his influence on them) are so important in the history of a neglected period when the basic framework of what we call European civilisation was being established.
That's why I'm keen for the reference to the image of the Einschatt group of figures to remain. I'm not going to overturn what you've done, so I'll keep looking for something like a tourist guide as a reference, but I'm a bit anxious that if I fail to find it soon I'll just forget and then the citation needed flag will catch the eye of a policeman rather than a detective.
I'd argue that Wikipedia is actually wrong - practically and philosophically - to exclude references citing blogs that are not clearly untrustworthy (Roman Miscellany is a priest whose interest and enthusiasm gives no obvious indication of unreliability, similarly with the Celtic Sainst group contributor, who provides all those references but without linking them to the individual saints). Anyhow, that's a much wider issue.
And I made a big mistake. Boniface was Winna's brother, not Richard's, thanks a lot for trapping that one! Opbeith ( talk) 08:55, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
I just noticed your good work tidying up the citations in the Physics in medieval Islam article. I just wanted to alert you to a couple things about that article (and many others on similar issues). The editor who has been responsible for much of it has an odd use of citations: where a footnote says "source one (cf. source two)", what he means is that he has probably never seen source one but is using source two's report of it. Add to this the problem that source two (in that article as well as elsewhere) is frequently muslimheritage.com, which is not a reliable source (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 18#History of Science) and has been known to misquote its sources (see User:Syncategoremata/Unreliable sources#Websites for one example), and you will need to tread carefully. None of what you have done there is problematic but I thought you should probably be aware of these issues.
All the best. – Syncategoremata ( talk) 07:08, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 05:43, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. As a French-speaking WikiGnome, I'd like to solicit your help in testing a new tool. For a few years now, the Red Link Recovery Project has been using the Red Link Recovery Live tool to track down and fix unnecessarily red links in articles. Recently, the tool has been expanded to work on non-English Wikipedias. A small set of suggested fixes for red-links on the French-language Wikipedia have been prepared and I'm hoping to interest some French-language speakers (such as yourself) to work through them.
If you are interested, please visit http://toolserver.org/~tb/RLRL/quick.php?lang=fr. Each time you refresh the page you'll be presented with three new suggested fixes. I'll be happy to answer any questions on the tools talk page. - TB ( talk) 17:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -
I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.
If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?
The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):
I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe ( as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...
...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics.
Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.
Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Hi Jerome! I was wondering if you'd be so kind as to proofread a quote translated from French to English ( Jakob Björck#In Lundberg's studio 1750-1774)? The original Swedish article which I'm adapting the content from did not provide a translation of the quote, and I want to make sure I've got the nuances down.

Hello from my side!
-> I recently saw one of your edits on the page List of top international rankings by country.
-> You made an edit (maybe a revert, I don't know) in the Eswatini section and mentioned that I made a mess.
-> It would be appreciable, if you may explain me the error I made more clearly which will help me to identify it and rectify it if I made it at another place in the same page.
-> Actually I have a laptop but, it is not in a good condition so I am forced to make my edits from mobile only!
-> I hope you will understand and reply soon!
Yours faithfully,

A tag has been placed on Beer Looter Dude requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact

Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

I reverted this edit. This is a style that is common in scientific writing, and is used in many articles on Wikipedia. The idea is simple: equations fit into the flow of the text, and are punctuated as if the equation were replaced by the words you would say when reading it aloud. In this case, the periods are there because the equations fall at the end of a sentence, and sentences end in periods. In other cases the sentence may continue after the equation, and the equation may be followed by a comma if the context requires it. -- Srleffler ( talk) 16:01, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if that is what we should use, since all the English-language references (e.g., the obit and Krippes - I don't have physical access to the original articles by Ramstedt, so I don't know how his name was spelled in his publications) I have seen to his work use a different spelling (GustaV).

Thank you for linking Bulgarian dances. The article Musical ensemble though does not mention the Bulgarian "wedding " style bands, which are on Bulgarian music. And the article Beat (music) as it stands, is hard to apply to Bulgarian music, as the metric time unit is too short to be recognized as a "beat"; the Harvard Concise dictionary of music says it is real or imagined conductor strokes, which then can be both more (at slow tempo) or fewer (at hight tempo) than the measurement unit of the meter.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Michel Potay. 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/Michel Potay. 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.

This article was deleted rather recently, see [2]. You should add the two inline refs I used for it in the GNU Screen article, otherwise it's likely it will be deleted again. Also, ask an admin, e.g. User:DGG to WP:USERFY the old article to your userspace. It had some info worth restoring, I think. The German LinuxUser article is pretty good, there's also a Spanish version of it, but no English one that I could find. Pcap ping 05:19, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether you've checked the sources. Please be specific and tell me what precisely are the copyrighted passages - not references - that are objectionable.
In filling out the article I used multiple sources, most of them repeating the same information. These are historical sources and the material is very often derivative in the first place, a large part in most cases drawn from and often bulk-quoting Butler's Lives of the Saints, over two centuries old. I rewrote most of it, partly because of awareness of coyright issues, partly because Butler's original antiquated language was inappropriate, but mostly to give a synoptic view.
The Saint Patrick's link was an existing one. I followed it for another reference and found it wasn't working, so wasn't able to check it let alone use it. The Findagrave material is clearly derivative in the first place, as is most of the celt-saints material, which is from a public e-group and much of it repeated on at least one other public e-group.
As I said, be specific about the issues. Just because I've cited a reference doesn't mean that it's the only source. I cite a reference because if you don't the article gets deleted, as confirmation of facts not as an acknowledgment of creative debt. If I've used any creative materials that are legitimately copyrighted just get rid of it. If you can't be bothered to go through it in detail just revert the whole article, because I certainly can't be bothered, I've now spent as much time as I intend to on it.
I only worked on the article because it was cited as an article that help was needed expanding. It was interesting, of course, but as far as I'm concerned it's water under the bridge. Just get rid of it if you think it's inappropriate. Be sure that you are doing it for good reason rather than on the basis of automatic warning signals generated by thre use of referencesbut otherwise do whatever you like. I find too much effort is wasted too often at Wikipedia, it's better to move on. Enough, goodbye to Richard the Pilgrim, good luck with it. Opbeith ( talk) 09:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
I think Richard's article is actually rather an interesting subject because his family (and obviously his influence on them) are so important in the history of a neglected period when the basic framework of what we call European civilisation was being established.
That's why I'm keen for the reference to the image of the Einschatt group of figures to remain. I'm not going to overturn what you've done, so I'll keep looking for something like a tourist guide as a reference, but I'm a bit anxious that if I fail to find it soon I'll just forget and then the citation needed flag will catch the eye of a policeman rather than a detective.
I'd argue that Wikipedia is actually wrong - practically and philosophically - to exclude references citing blogs that are not clearly untrustworthy (Roman Miscellany is a priest whose interest and enthusiasm gives no obvious indication of unreliability, similarly with the Celtic Sainst group contributor, who provides all those references but without linking them to the individual saints). Anyhow, that's a much wider issue.
And I made a big mistake. Boniface was Winna's brother, not Richard's, thanks a lot for trapping that one! Opbeith ( talk) 08:55, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
I just noticed your good work tidying up the citations in the Physics in medieval Islam article. I just wanted to alert you to a couple things about that article (and many others on similar issues). The editor who has been responsible for much of it has an odd use of citations: where a footnote says "source one (cf. source two)", what he means is that he has probably never seen source one but is using source two's report of it. Add to this the problem that source two (in that article as well as elsewhere) is frequently muslimheritage.com, which is not a reliable source (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 18#History of Science) and has been known to misquote its sources (see User:Syncategoremata/Unreliable sources#Websites for one example), and you will need to tread carefully. None of what you have done there is problematic but I thought you should probably be aware of these issues.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -
I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.
If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?
The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):
I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe ( as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...
...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics.
Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.
Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

, which means that, for most users, there is no difference. And, for those users where the table is too wide, they use their mouse or finger to slide the table leftward to see the overflow. The vast majority of users are unaffected by this CSS edit, and iOS users have a better experience. This is most likely why the edit stood, without complaint, since last February. Please revert your reversion of my edit. Thanks!
Kindly stop deleting key words from the Ferdinand Marcos page. What you are doing is tantamount to whitewashing Marcos's legacy. You may mean well with your edits, but my country suffered greatly under his rule and you are doing history a disservice.
Kindly read this article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/02/wiki-warriors-activists-fighting-to-keep-truth-of-brutal-marcos-regime-in-philippines-alive
Please discuss on talk page before attempting to delete the objectively accurate key words once more.

I don't see how having "kleptocrat" or "dictator" in the intro should be considered "insulting to the reader". The words "dictator" or "dicatatorship" are in the intros for Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Manuel Noriega, and Saddam Hussein to name a few. As Object404 has mentioned, there's been an active campaign by people loyal to the Marcos family to try to whitewash or justify their past actions. -- Edward Sandstig ( talk) 13:51, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
ScrapIronIV. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a
neutral point of view. Your recent edit to
Ferdinand Marcos seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Hey bro. Please count my reverts, and you can count JMR Raggster's if you want. Can you kindly explain how I violated the 3RR and why you are accusing me of it? Thank you. - Object404 ( talk) 15:29, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi there – I saw you added quotation marks to the "quotation within a quotation" in the above article. Grammatically speaking you are correct, of course, but the original quotation was reproduced exactly as it was from the source, which didn't contain the colon and quotation marks you added. I was just wondering whether according to MOS:PMC the original quotation should have stood, even though it may not be grammatically correct. Richard3120 ( talk) 14:23, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Good morning from Coreca, I'm writing to greet you and know how you are. I'm pretty good for now. I am also writing to ask you for a favor, that is, to be able to improve and translate the articles that I am going to report to you in perfect English. Coreca, Fanny Cadeo, Milena Miconi and Claudia Letizia. these articles in French are more than perfect, but in English they are shabby. Just as my English is run down, I ask you for the courtesy to come to my aid. Of course, if I can do something for you in Italian and your dialects, you can ask. waiting for your response and hearing you, I thank you in advance. See you soon! Yours truly-- Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino ( talk) 03:07, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi Jerome! I was wondering if you'd be so kind as to proofread a quote translated from French to English ( Jakob Björck#In Lundberg's studio 1750-1774)? The original Swedish article which I'm adapting the content from did not provide a translation of the quote, and I want to make sure I've got the nuances down.

Hi, Jerome Charles Potts. Regarding this? See what I stated here and here.
Also, when you consolidated the references, a bot had to fix this. Flyer22 Frozen ( talk) 05:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
Hello from my side!
-> I recently saw one of your edits on the page List of top international rankings by country.
-> You made an edit (maybe a revert, I don't know) in the Eswatini section and mentioned that I made a mess.
-> It would be appreciable, if you may explain me the error I made more clearly which will help me to identify it and rectify it if I made it at another place in the same page.
-> Actually I have a laptop but, it is not in a good condition so I am forced to make my edits from mobile only!
-> I hope you will understand and reply soon!
Yours faithfully,
Tylertoney Dude perfect
