Well, the first part was the standard welcome template, {{welcome}}, which is good to have on your page as it has good links.
As far as the second part is concerned, was very much tailored to you, and I thought you would appreciate the humor. Oleg Alexandrov 19:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lemuel,
thanks for the cleanup on the Viz article. Just one thing, though: why do you think "uidēre" is more accurate than "vidēre" and "one may see" more accurate than "seeing is licit". Being a native Italian speaker and having studied Latin I'm pretty sure that both are wrong, but I wanted to ask. Cheers - Gennaro Prota 12:43, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Look, you're contributing to systemic bias. Wikipedia strives for NPOV not what you might consider the "right POV". It is a fact that the United States and many Carribean Nations utilize the imperial system. Additionally, Canada while "officially" on the metric system utilizes the imperial system in day to day transactions (Canadian construction companies utilize imperial measures, and ask a Canadian for their height and weight and you get an answer in imperial). Like it or not, Imperial is what a lot of Wikipedians understand. The fact that the NoCoins template mentions that systemic bias leads to the use of US coins should tip you off, a large chunk of Wikipedians are unfamiliar with metric as they live in a country which uses Imperial measures.
Stop trying to push POV, please. To avoid bias, we ought to encourage the use of metric AND imperial.
While I understand that you were trying to make a point in your edit on the Pajero, I have reverted it because "wanker" is considered profanity.
Rather than dropping this section about Riboflavin in because you heard it on the TV, you might like to explain it: what does it do? are there any published studies? what are its success rates? any there any side effects? in what countries is it approved? how long does the treatment take? and so on. Secondly, the number one treatment for keratoconus is the use of RGP contact lenses: something like 90% of patients will use them at some time or other. As an experimental, or at least new technique, eye drops should be placed much further down the list of treatments, don't you think? Regards, -- BillC 19:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Middle Chinese pronounciation: As I said I think Hugh M. Stimson's books may be helpful to you and they are available (in English) at the University of NSW library if you are in Sydney. The best book may be the fairly comprehensive Tang Poetic Vocablary (1976). It's located at call number: S 895.11408/3 on Level 4, Social Sciences and Humanities Library, Kensington Campus. (I should point out that my background is in Korean and Japanese so I don't no how useful the material will be for a more serious Chinese scholar as yourself.) DMC 05:11, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your contributions to Xiongnu. I went to the Russian website from which the material is sourced, but I can't figure out what system is being used to write those pronuncations - it doesn't seem like IPA. In particular, "sŋoŋ" in IPA would be pronunced "sng-ong", with no vowel in the first syllable. Is that intentional? Or is it some type of Russian notation?
A second issue is that old/middle Chinese pronunciations are unverifiable and cannot be known with certainty - any theory is at most a conjecture - which would seem to be the case here since the pronunciations listed appear to be quite far from ordinary rules of Chinese pronunciation? -- Sumple ( Talk) 07:23, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
As you said, Titus Flavius Vespasianus referred to in English as Vespasian and not Latin, which is a different sub-family group, there's nothing controversy here between contemporary and modern under one language. Note that when we refer to Middle Chinese, its actually a de facto Mandarin in particular spoken by the court which encompassing in the metropolis, dialects had been existed thoughout then. We don't know when or where Mulan was born, so its completely controversial to reconstruct her name under these terms. Eiorgiomugini 10:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
Chinese and indo-european languages are quite different. I'm not here to make an argument, a best example would be under Vortigern. I don't see your point for inserting her recontructed pronunciation name over the introductory template, and is quite controversial. Eiorgiomugini 12:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
I never said it should be deleted, but the way you present it on the article is quite odd as far as most China-related articles concerned, its quite double standard here that only Mulan recevied such treatment while the rest don't. Another problem is that the link you provided seem failed to match your cite over the article:

I'm going to remove the info you added on Hua Mulan since it doesn't provided on the datebase. "How absurd" How could it be absurd when you're doing the same. "I cannot edit all China-related articles in a day!" And you should had blamed yourself then by not doing so, not me. Eiorgiomugini 03:06, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
"and just accepting that it is impossible" Right, that's just I'm about to said.
"I removed it before I even replied to you" I had removed the entire info that you added in here Eiorgiomugini 03:17, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
This is not a cantonese article and therefore I suggested it to be removed. Eiorgiomugini 03:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, Hanyu pinyin was used on the major articles, unless there's some reasons to include other romanisation. "There is a clear consensus among sinologists " There's actually been a long debate whether the dialect fully resemble in the Middle Chinese form among Chinese scholars. "But you have not said in what way Chinese and Indo-European are different" If you talking about "sound symbols", the Chinese has been using phonograms since the Shang dynasty. But the the writing system of Chinese characters was never replaced by a "full" set of alphabets because that would result too many indistinguisable homonyms and near-homonyms in writing. E.g. just try rendering pre-Qin poetry from the "Poetry Classic" into IPA. Eiorgiomugini 03:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
You had not provided more specific references so that all the editors can better decide, through consensus, and as you can see this is way more controversial than you might think. I don't want you to think the entire thing was to spite you. Eiorgiomugini 04:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

You know the rules as you were very capable of reporting the other, so even without a warning, cool down for 24 hours. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 04:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
You seem to have a problem with English. What you say doesn't make sense. Fine, the reverts don't have to be related, but they do have to be reverts. By definition, if different material is added, there is no revert. If you look the word "revert" up in a dictionary, you'll note that it means to go back to a previous state. It doesn't mean to do something somewhat similar to something you've done before. Only two of the diff you give are reverts, and they are clearly labelled as such in the edit summaries.
Perhaps you are a victim of the fact that Wikipedia is developing its own twisted version of the English language.
You claim that a precedent has been established at WP:AN/3RR. That is irrelevant. No part of Wikipedia policy states that precedent prevails over specific policy. Nothing at WP:3RR says that going back and forth trying to reach a compromise is a violation. It just says that reverting is a violation. When I want to know what the rules are, I read policy. I don't sift through endless precedents. I am not a lawyer.
I propose that you do one of two things. Either you edit the policy page to note that inserting different versions of a concept into a given article in order to reach a compromise with other editors is tolerated only up to the third time within 24 hours. Or, alternatively, you stop giving honest editors like me a hard time.
Also, please do not pretend that you are an impartial, never-fail enforcer of policy. You chose not to block Eiorgiomugini for the clearest 3RR violation I have ever seen. No excuses please. — Gulliver ✉ 02:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Selection of Australian coinage.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Regarding this edit: Please remain civil during discussions. Slapping labels on other editors and making accusations as you have done there are unacceptable. Comment on content alone, not other editors. -- InShaneee 21:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Asians in America could mean only East Asian Americans but usually means South Asian Americans and Southeast Asian Americans. Since the US government keeps a legal definition of Asian American, it is generally accepted that Asian means the three regions listed.-- Dark Tichondrias 20:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Gulliver, thanks for your note. I would upload an SVG, but sadly my graphics program Xara Xtreme isn't able to export them (yet). --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\ talk 09:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Selection of Australian coinage.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Soviets painting world red with blood.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 05:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I have nominated Sean Allen, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sean Allen. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Jmlk 1 7 01:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Template:NoCoins has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. Mhiji ( talk) 00:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jay Bennish interviewed head.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn ( talk) 17:28, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 17:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Pro-Bennish protest.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
