Hi there, I've noticed you've made a ton of edits. I do have a problem with the addition of NPOV language in your changes. You are also using terms which are not widely used, like clothist. Please review the above tips for writing articles before proceding too far ahead. Thank you. Dandelion1 01:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your interest in the Clothes free movement page. On talk pages, it's easy to automatically sign your comments: simply type four tildes (~~~~) in your edit where you want your signature to appear. Cheers! — Saxifrage ✎ 06:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks.
This is still confusing, the difference between user talk and discussion. So I didn't realize you were directing that to me in particular. Anyway, thanks, whoever you are. I can see it's useless to try to add my Web publication as a link until I'm rich, famous, or hold the majority view, but I can live with that. Korky Day 00:35, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Your recent edit to Wreck Beach is does not use appropriate language. Wikipedia is a project to document human knowledge and it explicitly not to be used to promote any particular point of view or agenda. Please familiarise yourself with our Neutral point of view policy to avoid this kind of thing. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The phrase "appropriate language" is far too vague. Korky Day 00:43, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! Korky Day 07:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your comment "I am well known. You use a pseudonym", I believe you misunderstand how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is a meritocracy and built on consensus decision-making, so your personal attributes and identity are irrelevant (except in the special case of vanity pages). Editors are respected based on their repuation and record here. Please accept the guidance of other editors—we're all assuming good faith about you, please do the same for us. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I added personal attributes as introduction, not to say I'm better or more authoritative than others. I think people were asserting I had broken rules I had not broken. They did that because they have human imperfections, not because they have bad faith. They said to read some policy, and then when I go and read it, there is nothing there which I have violated. So how about if someone thinks someone else has violated a rule, the former states which part of which rule? Korky Day 00:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't think I was promoting anything. When I first read it, it was promoting the breakwater as a toilet. I had to counter that with the fact that that's approved by very few (sober) people. Anyway, all this discussion prompted me to improve it even more, so that's good. Korky Day 07:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I knew that, thanks. So I'll wait for more specific criticisms. Korky Day 07:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
No, I didn't. Korky Day 20:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Redirects are a result of Cyndiann. She is screwing things up. I have agreed with the idea to move the article to social nudity. Please contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:Requested moves Dandelion1 01:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I clicked on Cyndiann and it says no such section. Korky Day 08:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, my own user page is similarly full of completely confusing statements and directions. Someone should make it understandable to new people. I've read most of the intro material I'm supposed to read, but it's still not understandable since it's full of jargon. Korky Day 10:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, but as a writer myself, it irks me to see poor writing, as that jargon is. Korky Day 02:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
True, but it can be EXPLAINED jargon. Korky Day 20:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I had referred to my own User Page. Newcomers should be able to understand it, but every second word, almost, is jargon. Korky Day 20:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
User Page, Talk Page, Discussion--it's all more confusing than necessary, but I'm sure it won't be in 5 more years. Korky Day 20:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Just a note: there's a "Show preview" button beside the "Save page" button when editing a page. Its use is recommended to avoid flooding the page history of an article with many small edits.
For the same reason, when making a significant number of changes to multiple sections of an article it is recommended to use the "edit this page" link at the top of the article, which allows the whole article to be edited at once rather than a section at a time. In combination these two practises can cut down the number of changes made to an article and make it much easier for other editors to review and collaborate on articles. — Saxifrage ✎ 22:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to invite you to get involved in establishing consensus in discussions concerning naming conventions for social nudity topics.
Please join in this community discussion regarding the name of Portal:Clothes free.
Participate here: Portal_talk:Clothes_free#Votes
Please also join in the discussion about what to name an article dealing with social nudity. I believe the the latter term is a better term to use than naturism or nudism as it is more WP:NPOV and is in use currently. Formerly the article was titled Clothes free movement.
Participate here: Talk:Naturism#Move_to_Social_nudity
Cheers,

I have a sufficient thick skin not to be bothered by you remarks at Talk:Naturism. I just suggest that you keep those out of the discussion and if you think I have a wierd understanding of the word social, ask me what I think of it. Because my ideas are really different than that. KimvdLinde 02:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Korky, we need an article on the Counterculture of the 1960s. Some of the edits you made to hippie would work really well there. — Viriditas | Talk 23:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Korky Day -- I appreciated your participation in the "Hippie" article. I think some people make a lot of arbitrary decisions and you can't let that dissuade you from participating if you think your input is what is called for. You're also about the only person who agreed with me in my argument concerning the use of the phrase "visual arts." Just wanted to say I appreciated your input, and I for one would be happy to hear more from you as concerns the "Hippie" article. We can't all agree, all the time, obviously. I just wanted to say those few things. Bus stop 19:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Enjoyed today's edits to the "Hippie" article. Apostle12 08:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
See what I said here regarding the list of examples. In short the article does not need more than a few examples to explain what RAS is. superapathy man 04:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, please leave your comments on the article's talkpage. The comment is just a reminder. superapathy man 04:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
For the number articles we don't use separators because professional mathematicians don't use separators either. Take for example, the bottom of the third page of this reference: Brenton, Lawrence and Vasiliu, Ana (2002). "Znam's problem". Mathematics Magazine 75: 3 – 11. They write fifteen thousand six hundred eighty-seven as "15687," not "15.687" nor "15,687" and certainly not as "," which could be misunderstood as fifteen times six hundred eighty-seven. Now it would be ideal for 1729 to be about the number, in my opinion; but I have to acknowledge that this is a general knowledge encyclopedia and the year 1729 AD gets higher priority for the shorter URL. So the article about the number gets saddled with the "_(number)". If the SI middle dot was easy to type, it would shorten the URL for numbers like 1138 and 1729, but what about 47, 666, 720?
I would like to thank you for bringing this up, though, it's good to re-examine details like this every now and then. Anton Mravcek 14:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Please don't delete markup from articles simply because you don't understand it or don't agree with it. That markup convention (aside from being over 30 years old in general) has been used in that article for over a year.

An editor has nominated Nicotine users and former users, List of, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 " 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 by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of famous smokers and 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. Thank you. 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. Jayden54Bot 16:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, I don't really care about the article that much. All I know is that it was up for deletion and about half of the commentors wanted to delete it and the other half argued to keep it, but only if was majorly edited. I mean, here are remarks taken from four of the five Keep commentors:
After all, not only did many many people smoke in earlier times, but still today many people smoke for a while in their youth. It seems that - and that general consensus was - the list needs to be severely limited in some way, else it grow to literally scores of thousands of entries. What I was hearing is that the list needs to be limited to those who are genuinely famous AND/OR those whose public image is associated with smoking; different editors appear to believe that it should be one, or the other, or both. But there is no way that simply being famous enough to have a Wikipedia article, and being a current or former smoker, is sufficient for inclusion, or that very many editors think that it is.
So I pruned the list to follow my reading of consensus as best I could. Certainly I may have made errors, you are completely welcome to undo them; there isn't really a "prune" outcome for a close, so you and other editors are free and indeed encouraged to remake the list as seems fit.
Now, as far as reverting to a previous version but still keeping good edits that occurred after the pruning... Ah, I guess that there is no easy way to do this... Unless there's some trick that I don't know about, I guess that you would have to do it by hand, either by copying the good edits into a text file, reverting to the pre-Herostratus version, and pasting the later edits in by hand; or looking at my diff and copying the deleted material into the current version, one entry at a time. Herostratus 14:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I didn't put that particular information in there. Before I edited the page, it said "Individuals will be able to send their videos via YouTube and their questions through Google and CNN.com." That sentence seemed unclear to me so I reworded it a bit, but I didn't check any sources to make sure it was true. If the part about non-video question submission is not verifiable, feel free to remove it. Etphonehome 22:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
After Talk:Texas Straw Poll, I realized the entire straw poll concept is hardly covered on Wikipedia and nominated it for the improvement drive. Figured I'd let you know. Narco 12:12, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to compliment you on your re-organization of the candidate listings on the presidential election 2008 template. It looks so much better organized and a lot less confusing than it did before. Thanks for taking the initiative. Well done!-- JayJasper 21:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I am an endowed member, yeah. We're always encouraged to leave them on as much as possible, day and night, but there are no specific injunctions as to exactly when it's acceptable to remove them. In fact, I was specifically told in the temple that no one is allowed to give me more detailed instructions than these; figuring out any specific situation is between the wearer and God. So yeah, presumably everyone takes them off for showers; some people take them off to exercise; some people occasionally fall asleep naked with their spouses. As long as they're worn the majority of the time and in all normal situations, the rest is a completely personal choice. -- Masamage ♫ 05:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Do you have a source for nudism being contrary to the law of chastity as taught by LDS Church leaders? Otherwise, the sentence you added that so stated will be deleted. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 07:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
In the 12-hour clock article you were making editing on 9/11/2007 saying that reference is not a verb. According to dictionaries I have checked reference is both a noun and a verb. Zginder 19:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Continued from 7 sections above.
The best way to go about getting an article undeleted is through the official channel, which is Deletion Review; if I just restored it myself without this kind of public discussion I would probably get in trouble. If that doesn't work, though, I can certainly move the entire article history into a subpage in your userspace and undelete it for you there. I could also do that right now if you want to skip the DR altogether. I can also keep an eye on such a review and make sure people are using relevant arguments. Remember, though, that almost the worst thing you can do is cast aspersions on people's motivation for disagreeing with you. Whether or not you're right, people are sort of biased against that argument because it's so hard to prove and so easy to misuse. So I'd avoid it. Anyway, let me know which course you'd like to pursue. -- Masamage ♫ 20:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

This Google search finds two old help desk pages with posts from you: [1] and [2]. In the second you also asked how to find old posts from you.

The basic Wikipedia tabs are insufficient
1. How can I find a list of questions I've asked the Help desk (and other places for editors)? I can't remember the dates and pages. The answers aren't on "My Talk" page (sic, should be "Your talk"). "My Watchlist" (sic, should be "Your watch list") is not useful for that because it's much too full of other stuff: I can't find the needle in the haystack.
2. We need a REAL "My Watchlist" / "Your watch list"! If I click on that (alleged) tab, I see instead a huge list of all the changes anyone ever made to all the articles in my watchlist, not the list of just the articles themselves (listing each article once!). "My Watchlist" as it is now is much too long to be of much use. Instead it should list the articles (once each) and then let you click on any one to see the changes made to that one article in reverse chronological order. What you get now with "My Watchlist" tab should be under a tab called "Everyone's changes to your watch list articles".
3. When I wasn't looking, a posse deleted one of my favourite articles, "List of Famous Smokers". I spent many hours editing it trying to please the complainers. It was saved from deletion once. Then later I see it's been deleted. I had no notice, no chance to vote. If the people who (a) had it on their watchlist. (b) had edited it. (c) had commented on it. (d) had voted on it any time it was considered for deletion. had been notified in time to vote, it might very well have won the vote. That's why I say it was a posse. A bunch of people (maybe biased tobacco company executives, who knows?) stealthily ambushed it. Because I happened not to notice, I get disenfranchised. Is that a good way to run an encyclopedia?
4. How do I start a campaign to bring back an article? I need to notify those in categories 3.(a-d).
Please answer with a note in "My Talk" page. Korky Day 23:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Is anyone creating short-cuts to check if one's contributions have been edited?
I can't be the only one who finds it too time-consuming to see if my contributions have been changed or deleted. Or is there an easier way? I have over 100 on my watchlist, I think. To check each one I must click on it in my watchlist, then search through the history to find my last contribution (which is often 3 or 4 pages earlier!), then compare that edit of mine with the current version, which I can't figure how to do when the versions are on different pages in the history. All that takes over 10 minutes per article, or over 1000 minutes to check them all--over 16 hours. So I check 2 or 3 articles and then give up. Thanks! Can you answer on my talk page? That's because I'm unlikely to be able to find this question again with your answer. 70.67.80.91 03:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Can't find my own questions; codes in different colour, please.
I've asked questions here before and now I can't find them to know if they've been answered or not. Can I be notified one way or the other--and be given links? Can you notify me in my Talk page and with a New Message notice?
My new question is can you please change the way all the edit boxes are displayed? When I am editing an article it's really hard because the text and the codes are all in the same colour and intensity. Elsewhere in the 1990s I used to see the text in light face and the codes in bold, or something like that. Even better might be a colour difference. Thanks! Korky Day ( talk) 21:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
You mentioned that you'd wished deletion "votes" were counted automatically, as opposed to subjectively. You might check out WP:AFD --- AfD debates are actually not votes. The closing admin has discretion to "read" consensus and judge the validity of the arguments themselves; the number of "keep" versus "delete" votes is a factor, but not the only one.
Since this confers a fair amount of power on the closing admin, as you've basically noted, there's a separate process for oversight on AfD votes: Deletion Review (DRV). One of the "keep" votes for "Ron Paul Revolution" actually nominated the AfD debate for DRV; you can read the ensuing discussion here.
You seem genuinely disappointed that the "Revolution" article was deleted. I don't blame you. I'd like to point out that nothing prevents you from breaking the "grassroots Paul campaigning" content out into another article. The WP:SIZE argument has merit. My objection to the "Revolution" article (one of many, and not the most effective) was that it was titled "Ron Paul Revolution" (as opposed to, say, "Grassroots support of Ron Paul in 2008), and seemed like an attempt to create an article where it would be hard to report negative events or criticism of the campaign.
Sorry this process was so frustrating for you. I certainly didn't help, but I'm glad you're taking the time to work with everyone on Wikipedia.

Another editor has added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Bannished Words List, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{ prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Yahoo! appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you.-- Startstop123 ( talk) 15:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Removal of service without notice Yahoo! e-mail reduces service without advising its subscribers. For instance, incoming messages no longer have an icon showing that the sender is listed in the customer's "Contacts" list. More recently, the company disabled the feature allowing the customer to revise a group list on a one-time basis in one of the address boxes of a particular message. At the same time, they started automatically deleting drafts when they were sent.
This appears to be an unsourced personal opinion, which is not encyclopedic information. If you have a source for it, add it back in with an appropriate and credible reference. Otherwise it appears to be your opinion of the Yahoo mail service. I use Yahoo mail and have not experienced any of these issues. Thanks.-- Startstop123 ( talk) 12:42, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I read over your entry again and I see what you are saying, but the way it is written initially made me feel that it was POV criticism. I apologize, but I still do not see a source that indicates this change. Also, "Removal of service without notice Yahoo! e-mail reduces service without advising its subscribers," seems a bit harsh. Perhaps you could rename the section to e-mail changes or something like that. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.-- Startstop123 ( talk) 12:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

The call sign takes precedence over the organizational name in the "name" field of an infobox, for three reasons:
Just to let you know, I've initiated a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio Stations#Radio station infobox about revising the template. One option that's on the table is to format it in such a way that allows both the call sign and the common name to appear at the head of the infobox, but the discussion is ongoing and there hasn't been a decision yet.

Text sections in articles about Constitutional amendments, whether ratified or rejected by the States, are called "Text". Remember that any section in an article is about the subject of that article. In this case, that means "Text" must be about the words (possibly numbers also) that make up the amendment. Therefore, it's redundant to say "of the amendment". For examples, see this and this. Just like in "Background" and "History" sections, it isn't necessary to say "of" what it's referring. Clarity is good, but don't cross the line into redundancy or wordiness.
Your welcome, regarding the "State constitutions" subsection. Added that material was a good idea on your part. SMP0328. ( talk) 18:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with your assessment.
Compare the lede sentance of some recent featured articles:
All of them are delcarative sentances that identify the particulars of the subject. From WP:LEDE: "Opening sentence: The article should begin with a straightforward, declarative sentence that provides the reader who knows nothing at all about the article's subject with the answer to two questions: 'What (or who) is it?' and 'Why is this subject notable?'." Your suggested lede sentance gives absolutely no information/particulars about the topic other than your unsourced claim that it "is a term with contradictory and controversial uses".
If you disagree with the definition that currently exists in the lede, please provide a reliable source that gives a definition that is more widely accepted. Providing the particulars/definition in the lede sentance does not make the article "wictionary" when there are 3 more paragraphs in the rest of the lede which give context, as well as a full article subsequent to the lede. If you feel that the lede paragraphs need more / other context, feel free to add sourced content there as well. -- The Red Pen of Doom 19:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
The problem I have with your edits regarding this station is that, as far as I know, CFRO is not the legal name of the station. If the station was say for example licensed in England, then fine the station's name would be Vancouver Co-Operative Radio, but radio stations in North America use call signs as their legal name, no matter how the owner brands them. For example, let's take a look at the recent license renewal of CFRO, [5], nowhere in the renewal does it list the name "Vancouver Cooperative Radio" as the licensed name, the name only appears in the field for the owner. Yes, the full name would be fine in some cases, but CFRO should be used in most cases. If you disagree with me on this, feel free to have let WP:WPRS come up with a consensus whether all radio stations in North America should be renamed to their branding.

It IS very germaine, as the debate over the non-elected status of VPs and, as it turned out, Presidents, was one of the main reasons the 25th did not pass until 1967. In every early scenario, the debate was about cabinet officers rather than an appointed VP, and I added what I did to point that out. It is germaine and important to the entire discussion about the 25th amendment and the controversies that surround it. Themoodyblue ( talk) 02:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I've noticed you've made a ton of edits. I do have a problem with the addition of NPOV language in your changes. You are also using terms which are not widely used, like clothist. Please review the above tips for writing articles before proceding too far ahead. Thank you. Dandelion1 01:50, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your interest in the Clothes free movement page. On talk pages, it's easy to automatically sign your comments: simply type four tildes (~~~~) in your edit where you want your signature to appear. Cheers! — Saxifrage ✎ 06:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks.
This is still confusing, the difference between user talk and discussion. So I didn't realize you were directing that to me in particular. Anyway, thanks, whoever you are. I can see it's useless to try to add my Web publication as a link until I'm rich, famous, or hold the majority view, but I can live with that. Korky Day 00:35, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Your recent edit to Wreck Beach is does not use appropriate language. Wikipedia is a project to document human knowledge and it explicitly not to be used to promote any particular point of view or agenda. Please familiarise yourself with our Neutral point of view policy to avoid this kind of thing. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The phrase "appropriate language" is far too vague. Korky Day 00:43, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! Korky Day 07:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your comment "I am well known. You use a pseudonym", I believe you misunderstand how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is a meritocracy and built on consensus decision-making, so your personal attributes and identity are irrelevant (except in the special case of vanity pages). Editors are respected based on their repuation and record here. Please accept the guidance of other editors—we're all assuming good faith about you, please do the same for us. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I added personal attributes as introduction, not to say I'm better or more authoritative than others. I think people were asserting I had broken rules I had not broken. They did that because they have human imperfections, not because they have bad faith. They said to read some policy, and then when I go and read it, there is nothing there which I have violated. So how about if someone thinks someone else has violated a rule, the former states which part of which rule? Korky Day 00:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't think I was promoting anything. When I first read it, it was promoting the breakwater as a toilet. I had to counter that with the fact that that's approved by very few (sober) people. Anyway, all this discussion prompted me to improve it even more, so that's good. Korky Day 07:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I knew that, thanks. So I'll wait for more specific criticisms. Korky Day 07:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
No, I didn't. Korky Day 20:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Redirects are a result of Cyndiann. She is screwing things up. I have agreed with the idea to move the article to social nudity. Please contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:Requested moves Dandelion1 01:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I clicked on Cyndiann and it says no such section. Korky Day 08:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, my own user page is similarly full of completely confusing statements and directions. Someone should make it understandable to new people. I've read most of the intro material I'm supposed to read, but it's still not understandable since it's full of jargon. Korky Day 10:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, but as a writer myself, it irks me to see poor writing, as that jargon is. Korky Day 02:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
True, but it can be EXPLAINED jargon. Korky Day 20:36, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I had referred to my own User Page. Newcomers should be able to understand it, but every second word, almost, is jargon. Korky Day 20:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
User Page, Talk Page, Discussion--it's all more confusing than necessary, but I'm sure it won't be in 5 more years. Korky Day 20:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Just a note: there's a "Show preview" button beside the "Save page" button when editing a page. Its use is recommended to avoid flooding the page history of an article with many small edits.
For the same reason, when making a significant number of changes to multiple sections of an article it is recommended to use the "edit this page" link at the top of the article, which allows the whole article to be edited at once rather than a section at a time. In combination these two practises can cut down the number of changes made to an article and make it much easier for other editors to review and collaborate on articles. — Saxifrage ✎ 22:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to invite you to get involved in establishing consensus in discussions concerning naming conventions for social nudity topics.
Please join in this community discussion regarding the name of Portal:Clothes free.
Participate here: Portal_talk:Clothes_free#Votes
Please also join in the discussion about what to name an article dealing with social nudity. I believe the the latter term is a better term to use than naturism or nudism as it is more WP:NPOV and is in use currently. Formerly the article was titled Clothes free movement.
Participate here: Talk:Naturism#Move_to_Social_nudity
Cheers,

I have a sufficient thick skin not to be bothered by you remarks at Talk:Naturism. I just suggest that you keep those out of the discussion and if you think I have a wierd understanding of the word social, ask me what I think of it. Because my ideas are really different than that. KimvdLinde 02:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Korky, we need an article on the Counterculture of the 1960s. Some of the edits you made to hippie would work really well there. — Viriditas | Talk 23:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Korky Day -- I appreciated your participation in the "Hippie" article. I think some people make a lot of arbitrary decisions and you can't let that dissuade you from participating if you think your input is what is called for. You're also about the only person who agreed with me in my argument concerning the use of the phrase "visual arts." Just wanted to say I appreciated your input, and I for one would be happy to hear more from you as concerns the "Hippie" article. We can't all agree, all the time, obviously. I just wanted to say those few things. Bus stop 19:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Enjoyed today's edits to the "Hippie" article. Apostle12 08:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
See what I said here regarding the list of examples. In short the article does not need more than a few examples to explain what RAS is. superapathy man 04:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, please leave your comments on the article's talkpage. The comment is just a reminder. superapathy man 04:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
For the number articles we don't use separators because professional mathematicians don't use separators either. Take for example, the bottom of the third page of this reference: Brenton, Lawrence and Vasiliu, Ana (2002). "Znam's problem". Mathematics Magazine 75: 3 – 11. They write fifteen thousand six hundred eighty-seven as "15687," not "15.687" nor "15,687" and certainly not as "," which could be misunderstood as fifteen times six hundred eighty-seven. Now it would be ideal for 1729 to be about the number, in my opinion; but I have to acknowledge that this is a general knowledge encyclopedia and the year 1729 AD gets higher priority for the shorter URL. So the article about the number gets saddled with the "_(number)". If the SI middle dot was easy to type, it would shorten the URL for numbers like 1138 and 1729, but what about 47, 666, 720?
I would like to thank you for bringing this up, though, it's good to re-examine details like this every now and then. Anton Mravcek 14:10, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Please don't delete markup from articles simply because you don't understand it or don't agree with it. That markup convention (aside from being over 30 years old in general) has been used in that article for over a year.

An editor has nominated Nicotine users and former users, List of, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 " 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 by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of famous smokers and 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. Thank you. 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. Jayden54Bot 16:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, I don't really care about the article that much. All I know is that it was up for deletion and about half of the commentors wanted to delete it and the other half argued to keep it, but only if was majorly edited. I mean, here are remarks taken from four of the five Keep commentors:
After all, not only did many many people smoke in earlier times, but still today many people smoke for a while in their youth. It seems that - and that general consensus was - the list needs to be severely limited in some way, else it grow to literally scores of thousands of entries. What I was hearing is that the list needs to be limited to those who are genuinely famous AND/OR those whose public image is associated with smoking; different editors appear to believe that it should be one, or the other, or both. But there is no way that simply being famous enough to have a Wikipedia article, and being a current or former smoker, is sufficient for inclusion, or that very many editors think that it is.
So I pruned the list to follow my reading of consensus as best I could. Certainly I may have made errors, you are completely welcome to undo them; there isn't really a "prune" outcome for a close, so you and other editors are free and indeed encouraged to remake the list as seems fit.
Now, as far as reverting to a previous version but still keeping good edits that occurred after the pruning... Ah, I guess that there is no easy way to do this... Unless there's some trick that I don't know about, I guess that you would have to do it by hand, either by copying the good edits into a text file, reverting to the pre-Herostratus version, and pasting the later edits in by hand; or looking at my diff and copying the deleted material into the current version, one entry at a time. Herostratus 14:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I didn't put that particular information in there. Before I edited the page, it said "Individuals will be able to send their videos via YouTube and their questions through Google and CNN.com." That sentence seemed unclear to me so I reworded it a bit, but I didn't check any sources to make sure it was true. If the part about non-video question submission is not verifiable, feel free to remove it. Etphonehome 22:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to compliment you on your re-organization of the candidate listings on the presidential election 2008 template. It looks so much better organized and a lot less confusing than it did before. Thanks for taking the initiative. Well done!-- JayJasper 21:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I am an endowed member, yeah. We're always encouraged to leave them on as much as possible, day and night, but there are no specific injunctions as to exactly when it's acceptable to remove them. In fact, I was specifically told in the temple that no one is allowed to give me more detailed instructions than these; figuring out any specific situation is between the wearer and God. So yeah, presumably everyone takes them off for showers; some people take them off to exercise; some people occasionally fall asleep naked with their spouses. As long as they're worn the majority of the time and in all normal situations, the rest is a completely personal choice. -- Masamage ♫ 05:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Do you have a source for nudism being contrary to the law of chastity as taught by LDS Church leaders? Otherwise, the sentence you added that so stated will be deleted. Rich Uncle Skeleton (talk) 07:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
In the 12-hour clock article you were making editing on 9/11/2007 saying that reference is not a verb. According to dictionaries I have checked reference is both a noun and a verb. Zginder 19:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Continued from 7 sections above.
The best way to go about getting an article undeleted is through the official channel, which is Deletion Review; if I just restored it myself without this kind of public discussion I would probably get in trouble. If that doesn't work, though, I can certainly move the entire article history into a subpage in your userspace and undelete it for you there. I could also do that right now if you want to skip the DR altogether. I can also keep an eye on such a review and make sure people are using relevant arguments. Remember, though, that almost the worst thing you can do is cast aspersions on people's motivation for disagreeing with you. Whether or not you're right, people are sort of biased against that argument because it's so hard to prove and so easy to misuse. So I'd avoid it. Anyway, let me know which course you'd like to pursue. -- Masamage ♫ 20:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

This Google search finds two old help desk pages with posts from you: [1] and [2]. In the second you also asked how to find old posts from you.

The basic Wikipedia tabs are insufficient
1. How can I find a list of questions I've asked the Help desk (and other places for editors)? I can't remember the dates and pages. The answers aren't on "My Talk" page (sic, should be "Your talk"). "My Watchlist" (sic, should be "Your watch list") is not useful for that because it's much too full of other stuff: I can't find the needle in the haystack.
2. We need a REAL "My Watchlist" / "Your watch list"! If I click on that (alleged) tab, I see instead a huge list of all the changes anyone ever made to all the articles in my watchlist, not the list of just the articles themselves (listing each article once!). "My Watchlist" as it is now is much too long to be of much use. Instead it should list the articles (once each) and then let you click on any one to see the changes made to that one article in reverse chronological order. What you get now with "My Watchlist" tab should be under a tab called "Everyone's changes to your watch list articles".
3. When I wasn't looking, a posse deleted one of my favourite articles, "List of Famous Smokers". I spent many hours editing it trying to please the complainers. It was saved from deletion once. Then later I see it's been deleted. I had no notice, no chance to vote. If the people who (a) had it on their watchlist. (b) had edited it. (c) had commented on it. (d) had voted on it any time it was considered for deletion. had been notified in time to vote, it might very well have won the vote. That's why I say it was a posse. A bunch of people (maybe biased tobacco company executives, who knows?) stealthily ambushed it. Because I happened not to notice, I get disenfranchised. Is that a good way to run an encyclopedia?
4. How do I start a campaign to bring back an article? I need to notify those in categories 3.(a-d).
Please answer with a note in "My Talk" page. Korky Day 23:13, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Is anyone creating short-cuts to check if one's contributions have been edited?
I can't be the only one who finds it too time-consuming to see if my contributions have been changed or deleted. Or is there an easier way? I have over 100 on my watchlist, I think. To check each one I must click on it in my watchlist, then search through the history to find my last contribution (which is often 3 or 4 pages earlier!), then compare that edit of mine with the current version, which I can't figure how to do when the versions are on different pages in the history. All that takes over 10 minutes per article, or over 1000 minutes to check them all--over 16 hours. So I check 2 or 3 articles and then give up. Thanks! Can you answer on my talk page? That's because I'm unlikely to be able to find this question again with your answer. 70.67.80.91 03:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Can't find my own questions; codes in different colour, please.
I've asked questions here before and now I can't find them to know if they've been answered or not. Can I be notified one way or the other--and be given links? Can you notify me in my Talk page and with a New Message notice?
My new question is can you please change the way all the edit boxes are displayed? When I am editing an article it's really hard because the text and the codes are all in the same colour and intensity. Elsewhere in the 1990s I used to see the text in light face and the codes in bold, or something like that. Even better might be a colour difference. Thanks! Korky Day ( talk) 21:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
You mentioned that you'd wished deletion "votes" were counted automatically, as opposed to subjectively. You might check out WP:AFD --- AfD debates are actually not votes. The closing admin has discretion to "read" consensus and judge the validity of the arguments themselves; the number of "keep" versus "delete" votes is a factor, but not the only one.
Since this confers a fair amount of power on the closing admin, as you've basically noted, there's a separate process for oversight on AfD votes: Deletion Review (DRV). One of the "keep" votes for "Ron Paul Revolution" actually nominated the AfD debate for DRV; you can read the ensuing discussion here.
You seem genuinely disappointed that the "Revolution" article was deleted. I don't blame you. I'd like to point out that nothing prevents you from breaking the "grassroots Paul campaigning" content out into another article. The WP:SIZE argument has merit. My objection to the "Revolution" article (one of many, and not the most effective) was that it was titled "Ron Paul Revolution" (as opposed to, say, "Grassroots support of Ron Paul in 2008), and seemed like an attempt to create an article where it would be hard to report negative events or criticism of the campaign.
Sorry this process was so frustrating for you. I certainly didn't help, but I'm glad you're taking the time to work with everyone on Wikipedia.

Another editor has added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Bannished Words List, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{ prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Yahoo! appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies.

Removal of service without notice Yahoo! e-mail reduces service without advising its subscribers. For instance, incoming messages no longer have an icon showing that the sender is listed in the customer's "Contacts" list. More recently, the company disabled the feature allowing the customer to revise a group list on a one-time basis in one of the address boxes of a particular message. At the same time, they started automatically deleting drafts when they were sent.
This appears to be an unsourced personal opinion, which is not encyclopedic information. If you have a source for it, add it back in with an appropriate and credible reference. Otherwise it appears to be your opinion of the Yahoo mail service. I use Yahoo mail and have not experienced any of these issues. Thanks.-- Startstop123 ( talk) 12:42, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I read over your entry again and I see what you are saying, but the way it is written initially made me feel that it was POV criticism. I apologize, but I still do not see a source that indicates this change. Also, "Removal of service without notice Yahoo! e-mail reduces service without advising its subscribers," seems a bit harsh. Perhaps you could rename the section to e-mail changes or something like that. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.-- Startstop123 ( talk) 12:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

The call sign takes precedence over the organizational name in the "name" field of an infobox, for three reasons:
Just to let you know, I've initiated a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio Stations#Radio station infobox about revising the template. One option that's on the table is to format it in such a way that allows both the call sign and the common name to appear at the head of the infobox, but the discussion is ongoing and there hasn't been a decision yet. Feel free to keep an eye on the discussion and to participate if you have any input you'd like to add. Bearcat ( talk) 18:19, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Text sections in articles about Constitutional amendments, whether ratified or rejected by the States, are called "Text". Remember that any section in an article is about the subject of that article. In this case, that means "Text" must be about the words (possibly numbers also) that make up the amendment. Therefore, it's redundant to say "of the amendment". For examples, see this and this. Just like in "Background" and "History" sections, it isn't necessary to say "of" what it's referring. Clarity is good, but don't cross the line into redundancy or wordiness.
Your welcome, regarding the "State constitutions" subsection. Added that material was a good idea on your part. SMP0328. ( talk) 18:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with your assessment.
Compare the lede sentance of some recent featured articles:
All of them are delcarative sentances that identify the particulars of the subject. From WP:LEDE: "Opening sentence: The article should begin with a straightforward, declarative sentence that provides the reader who knows nothing at all about the article's subject with the answer to two questions: 'What (or who) is it?' and 'Why is this subject notable?'." Your suggested lede sentance gives absolutely no information/particulars about the topic other than your unsourced claim that it "is a term with contradictory and controversial uses".
If you disagree with the definition that currently exists in the lede, please provide a reliable source that gives a definition that is more widely accepted. Providing the particulars/definition in the lede sentance does not make the article "wictionary" when there are 3 more paragraphs in the rest of the lede which give context, as well as a full article subsequent to the lede. If you feel that the lede paragraphs need more / other context, feel free to add sourced content there as well. -- The Red Pen of Doom 19:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
The problem I have with your edits regarding this station is that, as far as I know, CFRO is not the legal name of the station. If the station was say for example licensed in England, then fine the station's name would be Vancouver Co-Operative Radio, but radio stations in North America use call signs as their legal name, no matter how the owner brands them. For example, let's take a look at the recent license renewal of CFRO, [5], nowhere in the renewal does it list the name "Vancouver Cooperative Radio" as the licensed name, the name only appears in the field for the owner. Yes, the full name would be fine in some cases, but CFRO should be used in most cases. If you disagree with me on this, feel free to have let WP:WPRS come up with a consensus whether all radio stations in North America should be renamed to their branding.

It IS very germaine, as the debate over the non-elected status of VPs and, as it turned out, Presidents, was one of the main reasons the 25th did not pass until 1967. In every early scenario, the debate was about cabinet officers rather than an appointed VP, and I added what I did to point that out. It is germaine and important to the entire discussion about the 25th amendment and the controversies that surround it. Themoodyblue ( talk) 02:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
