Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that I had been brave enough to translate the article into French at the beginning of the year. I actually did not went through getting a GA or FA label on the wp:fr side yet. As I see you are editing the article, I was wondering if you would be interested by my input and helping me out in understanding the overall structure of this quite long article (the fantastic feedback I got on wp:fr was that the summary of the article was much clearer than the article itself... French version actually removed from the talk page). -- Anneyh ( talk) 12:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for catching and attempting to fix at least one of the messed up articles. I personally think the automatic taxoboxes are very difficult to try to edit, but I was told off when I suggested that, so don't feel too bad about it. Mule deer are great animals, thanks for editing. -- Kleopatra ( talk) 09:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Yo. Thanks for taking a moment to answer. (Understand that I am not a creationist!) It just suddenly struck me as strange that while it's not possible to prove astrology is right -- no one has accepted James Randi's $1,000,000 prize -- no US grammar school teacher would DARE teach that, for fear of being fired.
What I found doubly amusing, in a sense, is that out of 10,000s of Wiki edits I've made, several 100s of those in Discussion, that was the first comment I remember ever having had removed. I'm pretty sure I've made others that are equally reflective. But this one! Oh! I'm not allowed to comment. Lolol. And I do think there's reason to probe, when three editors (but not you) reacted so strongly, they weren't even willing to discuss it. Hats off to you, then, and have a great day. 98.210.208.107 ( talk) 00:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Could you explain why you deleted encyclopedic content from herpes zoster (the "etymology" section)? JFW | T@lk 12:40, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Quite true, but we should at least attempt to explain the meaning of a word. You've done a fine job at improving it, thank you. With regards to your comment ("the author can't write", "crap section"), please be careful about people's feelings (I am not the author). JFW | T@lk 19:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
While I realize that taking part in discussions on this site, especially controversial ones, can make just about anyone calloused, please try to remember to assume good faith. Abruptly accusing people of pushing a POV (especially users who have been on the site for less than a week and didn't even attempt to put their opinion into the actual article) is not exactly constructive. I'm not trying to start an argument or anything and I usually wouldn't even bother with a message like this, but I'm currently involved in a project called WikiGuides that is trying to give new users a more positive initial experience instead of getting their heads bitten off, as they too often do. The user you were responding to is one of my assignments and I'm just trying to look out for him. I really think he was just trying to share what he thought the terms actually meant. Anyway, happy editing. -- Fyrefly ( talk) 19:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
I don't want to clutter up the thread, but "one oppose equals three supports" was serious, not snarky. Generally speaking, candidates need to be north of 70% to succeed. At 75%, that mean there is exactly one oppose vote for every three supports. Add an oppose, and it takes three more supports to keep the percentage from dropping below 75%. That's all it means, but it makes sense.-- SPhilbrick T 12:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Regardless of the merits of your particular viewpoint, there's only so much militancy we can stomach here before it becomes impossible to maintain any sort of collaboration and co-operative work ethic. Please take the next fortnight off to reflect on this. Moreschi ( talk) 14:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
