I've had to revert your edits on this article; the "obvious spelling and grammar errors" weren't, of course; they were perfectly correct British English, which you changed to U.S. English. Articles should be left in the style of English in which you find them unless their subject matter is relevant to a certain style (you can change to "programme" to "program" in an article on U.S. television) or the style is inconsistent (in which case it should be made uniform in line with the style used by the original editor). -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 14:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Tutmosis, I want to lend a hand in adding to the Bay Area Hip hop scene. My personal interests are the Hyphy movement and Thizz, but there is sooooo damn much culture and what not, from the 80's with Too Short - Thizz Nation now. I figure, you being the king of the wiki Hop hop project, you might know (or have advice on) how to put together a team on getting this on there. As for as the to do list, subdivisions and what not. What would be the best way to learn about how to put something like this together? Thanks for any advice you may have. Carlos 18:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
There was a discussion awhile back (I think it was on one of the category pages) and it was agreed to use the original Japanese names where possible. Beowulph 21:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, a lot of us have agreed to place the SWProject template on the project pages that don't have any significant problems; just thought I'd give you a heads up. Deckiller 19:59, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for the comment. I just used the color scheme from most of the other SWU templates, but I think Wookiee is going through and making them all black and yellow. Deckiller 20:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to be so blunt but it seems very strange to me for somebody to revert a spelling correction to an article without checking how the word is actually spelled. I'd just like to understand what would cause you to feel it's appropriate to revert good changes without checking that the revert was actually something bad. Receive is actually spelled this way, and not 'recieve', as a quick look in any dictionary will tell you. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to understand what compels a person to do such a thing, as it seems utterly bizarre to me. -- Rediahs 07:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Well I'm looking for something rather simple and square to go in{{ Star Wars Portal}} and/or {{ User Star Wars WikiProject}}. I can't be to complex because of the small size. It kinda of needs to be our Wikiproject's logo in a sense. Try using Image:Nuvola apps package games.png for inspiration. Jedi6 04:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, nice work with the weapons/pronoun edits so far. Did you get a chance to read what I said about the video games on the talk? I think you'd probably be interested in giving me a hand with that. Thanks ^_^ Deckiller 22:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
The old American vs. British style debate. Since Star Wars is an American product we would use American spelling. Also to check what links to a page just go to the first link on the left side of the page below the search bar. It says What links here or you can go to Special:Whatlinkshere/pagename.

Sounds like a good idea. I reverted your changes to the intro because, frankly, the hip hop culture page centers on a 1980's view of hip hop that ignores the fact that the music is the most notable thing these days.-- Urthogie 08:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I think each sub-section (specifically the stub list) needs to have their own section (the "==______==" header rather than the "===_____===" header). That way we can organize the stubs into seperate sub-catagories (i.e. album stubs, article stubs, etc.). What do you think?--chub 10:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Tutmosis. The way most portal colours are set is through a box-header sub-page. The New Zealand Portal colours can be edited from Portal:New Zealand/box-header. Thus, for the portal you are trying to create, you need to create a box-header. There are instructions at Wikipedia:Portal.-- cj | talk 14:05, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm eager to nominate Illmatic (which is currently being nominated for hip hop collaboration of the week) for FA-status, even though I feel that more can be done to improve it. I feel that with a collaborative effort from members of the hip hop wikiproject, we can bring up to FA status in no time. Do you think its time to close the votes for collaboration of the week, or should we leave it open for new members to weight their opinions in? -- Chubdub 14:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
'design specific dates when next article voting will take place, unless we want it weekly.
Within a certain amount of days the article with the most votes wins.
On further note, I think once a particular article has been selected, we should notify all the members of the collaborative effort. Thanks! -- Chubdub 19:21, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
A new template should also be made to announce the current Collaboration, such as this:

Definetely! A Hip hop peer review sound great. I'm certainly willing to be an active participant in that. Go for it!
On another note, how are things with recruiting new members to the project? I'd certainly be really to help -- Chubdub 15:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
And will this peer review be accompanied with a rating sytem? --
Chubdub
15:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Hopefully, once the project becomes further established, hopefully individual members will be willing to assume a more active role. And yes, there is still an immense amount of work that needs to be done (see the To-Do list) before we see significant signs of improvement to individual articles. But right now, we need to continue establishing the project. As for the rating system/peer review, I think the whole criteria system (lead, substance, pictures, references) sounds great! -- Chubdub 15:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, if you see the note on the talk page, I've been working on the article, and until problems (described in Wikipedia talk:Footnotes) are fixed in Cite.php, I'd like to keep using Footnotes3.

It seems that user User:Tutmosis. mimics your user and talk pages and vandalizes articles on military ranks. It is a sockpuppet of the long-term vandal Roitr (see User:Roitr/sockpuppetry)-- Nixer 09:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
If you want to resize images and improve the table appearance, please do it with not vandalized version. The versions you've edited in Ranks of the People's Liberation Army Navy and Ranks of the People's Liberation Army Air Force were vandalized by Roitr and unfortunately we can not always manage to revert all his edits before other users modify them. His versions are wrong and completely different from the proper ones. He inserts bogus ranks in the tables as long as completely wrong correspondence of military ranks from different countries. He has IP addresses starting with 88.155, 88.152, 88.153 etc. You can see other his IPs and edit patterns in User:Roitr/sockpuppetry. Please do not support vandalism.-- Nixer 18:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, that's exactly what I was pointing out; priority on an "out of universe" perspective with a basic "in universe" description.

Recently, I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination).

Hey Tutmosis!
Thank you so very much for your recent peer review analysis of Wikipedia's article on the DuMont Television Network. You really conducted a thorough review, and I appreciate that you checked all sections, added fact templates, and had a lot of comments to make. I will do my best to impliment your suggestions into the article. Thanks for looking at the article. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 01:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing the Hungarian Revolution article - you bring up a very valid point - one we have continuously debated - i.e. how to be accurately descriptive of the public sentiment without being too NPOV. The crux of the problem is that the event itself is the result of precisely these very strong (and very NPOV) feelings, which are noted repeatedly in the referenced documents (esp. the UN report). Only this strong emotion could persuade a small country to expel the Soviet occupation - certainly not calculated reason. We would certainly welcome your constructive comments and will take each one seriously. (I think you must have caught some of this back-and-forth precisely after posting your first comment). Consensus on the page, at lest, is that to avoid the emotional language would be to mislead the reader. If you can suggest a means of reconciling the conflict - i.e. achieving the best of both accuracy and NPOV then we are happy to hear it. Istvan 20:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. Ive begun to replace some of the more emotionally charged language as per suggestion. Most of these are to be found in the summaries at the top. I hope this is more acceptable now in this form. Istvan 21:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear Tutmosis, after days of ironing out POV/accuracy wrinkles, I would kindly invite you to re-visit the 1956 article for a fresh look - I think you will find it to be extremely well referenced. Thanks Istvan 08:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the very specific detailed concerns. We will attend to them straightaway. Istvan 16:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
See if the overhaul made overnight helps the article significantly. You've made some good suggestions so far. Thegreatdr 06:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Ouch... Disrespectful? Don't bite! I'm still kind of new. After the peer review, those of us interested really started to make some positive changes on the article, removing the quotes and placing the Wikiquote box. Removing several unnecessary external links. The problem was that since he is such a popular figure right now, we had so many people coming in adding new useless information and nonsense and vandolism that we had to clean up. It turned out that there really weren't as many "serious" wikipedians interesting in doing the grunt work on the article. I understand and completely respect your objections. I would suggest however that in the future you leave comments to the article themselves, because honestly calling me "disrespectful" I took personally. I think that I've done a great deal of hard work on wikipedia and this was my first article that I had ever submitted for FA candidacy and I personally thought it met the criteria. I didn't know any better. Thank you.-- Twintone 14:43, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I have it up for featured nomination, if you could throw that on the bulletin, that'd be cool, cuz I haven't gotten any support/objections yet, people ignoring it. -- PDTantisocial 06:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks brah. I know what you're sayin', but these peoples don't really get that with underground hip hop its hard to dig up all these newspaper articles and etc (if there ever were any), I did the same with Enta Da Stage so hopefully I can get it past. -- PDTantisocial 02:28, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, its been some time since the DuMont Television Network peer review and I just want to let you know I havent forgot about it. I see you still working on it and I intend to keep my promise and copyedit the article. So let me know when you finished. - Tutmosis 20:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, sorry, I don't know much about Kiero, other than three songs that existed on it (Rise Like The Sun (The Dawn), Ride Like The Sun (The Dusk), and Musical Essence) and the fact it was only available in Toronto for a short while. There's an interview here where K-os expresses interest in re-releasing it, but only after being allowed to tamper with and redo the songs. Other than that, I've only found a few mentions here and there on various websites, but no meaty info. ( Rishi B 20:09, 21 October 2006 (UTC))
Hey again, I recently found some more info on k-os... seems in addition to Kiero, he had something called "Take You There"... it was an EP that contained the songs Take You There, and the Rise Like The Sun songs. Just the three tracks. It sometimes pops up on ebay, and according to a [k-os.forumsunlimited.com k-os fansite], it's legit. Apparently, it was distributed by an indie label (Pure) in the states, and is pretty hard to find (duh).( Rishi B 10:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC))

Hi. I find that musicsquare.net is useful for worldwide chart positions (though it only goes back to 2003), and you can find U.S. chart positions at billboard.com. There is also a less well-known chart called the ARC Weekly Top 40, the official website for which is at rockonthenet.com. I should note that some of the information on top40-charts.com is inaccurate. As for choosing which ones to include, I'd recommend against including airplay or download charts because I think a country's main single chart is an adequate indicator of a single's popularity in that country - there's no point including three charts if one conveys essentially the same information. I do think it is good to include any relevant genre-specific charts; for example, in the U.S. you have the Pop 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and so on. Hope that helps.

Hey I heard you were working on Settlers II. I looked over the gameplay section, and it looks pretty good. I wouldn't call it cheesy; it's written from an out of world perspective, and I think it covers all aspects (probably the two biggest problems of gameplay sections). I've never played the game, but are their different sides you can be (I.E. axis and allies in WWII games)? That's really all I saw missing from the gameplay section (it's kinda hard to know what's missing if you haven't played the game, and it'd be pretty dumb for me to pull that "broad in coverage" junk.). Another thing that might be the reason that you called it cheesy was because most of the paragrapghs subjects were "the player." For example "During the beginning of the game, the main warehouse is the only building that has a radius granting the player territory. The player can expand his territory by building any of the three possible military complex's near the border of his current territory and sending atleast 1 soldier to operate the complex. A serf can become a soldier once a sword and a shield are constructed." could be "During the beginning of the game, only the main warhouse has the ability to grant territory for further growth. Territory can be expanded by creating one of three military complexs near territory borders. Each complex must have at least one soilder to continually operate the complex. Soilders can be created by constructing a sword and shield, and using them to upgrade a serf." I'm not great with prose or spelling, but the idea I was trying to convey was that the subject changes as the paragrapgh moves on. If you are talking about soilders and how cool they are and you want to move on to serfs, try to connect them. I know you've probably dealt with prose a thousand times, but I'm just trying to get across that prose is still there in RTS games. If you need more help with structuring video game sections, JimmyBlackwing helped me out a lot. You're doing a great job though. Keep up the good work. -- Clyde Miller 22:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Excellent work. I did not know the code work and all. You did an excellent work by removing all the unwanted code and making it look nice. Even I had a thought of changing the colour to white but did not do it. I think the Motto looks somewhat smaller and the text to the links need to be in bold so that it looks attractive. I will do that.Thanking you.
The bold size did not work nicely. It looks very odd. So not making changes there. Chanakyathegreat 15:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh god, an incidence twice repeated of shit. The fall of civilization is being brought about by "profanity-filled lyrics" on a trivial Wikipedia page!! I cannot prove it to you beyond simply saying I have heard this very chorus many times. If you say this is "original research," then I dare you to fastidiously scour the article for any signs of unsourced writing (especially the section to which I was adding on, as its origins seem rather "specious" by your definitions) and delete it to satisfy your pompous faux-authoritarian impulses. Otherwise, revert it to my version at once.

A couple of points. Firstly, the issue of whether a free image can be created is a lot trickier than you seem to think. Is it really possible to create a free picture of J. D. Salinger (note that someone has challenged the fair use rationale of the current image, from a book cover by his daughter, and, so it'll probably get deleted soon enough)? In general, how easy is it to get a free picture of famous people? I think that the idea that the possibility of getting some famous person to release a photo on the GNU license (through wikipedia's "clout") should be totally off the table in terms of fair use criteria. If someone can get the person to do that, wonderful. But the possibility of this (vaguely present with every living person, and even with dead people, presumably) shouldn't actually cause us to delete existing images. The possibility of taking a picture of a famous person seems a priori similarly dubious - obviously there are exceptions, and there will be famous people it will be possible to get pictures of, but this is not easily possible to members of the general public in the way that, say, getting a picture of the Arc de Triomphe would be. Anyone in Paris can take a picture of the Arc de Triomphe and release it to wikipedia. To get a free picture of Tom Cruise is a lot tricker, and the conditions in which such a picture would be likely to be taken makes all the more likely that the picture will be awkward and poor and unprofessional compared to a promotional photo, which it would be perfectly legal for wikipedia to use. john k 10:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

According to what I dug up back in 2004 when Cricket became featured you were one or the only primary author of the article.

Hi - I noticed you added the November list to Wikipedia:Featured articles nominated in 2006. I've been doing these semi-automatically, with a script that parses through the nomination pages and creates the table. The script isn't perfect but it makes creating these tables a lot easier than doing it by hand. I generally update WP:WBFAN after updating the monthly list, with another script. If you're interested in updating these regularly (monthly) and have any interest in my scripts, please let me know. -- Rick Block ( talk) 17:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Annoy? Hell no. I have plenty of things to do and the more people able and willing to do any particular task the better. I actually put together a list a while ago of periodic maintenance tasks that various folks do, see Wikipedia:Maintenance/tasklist (but haven't added tasks related to featured articles). The scripts are shell/awk, I run them on a Mac OS X. If you're on Mac or Linux it should be very easy, if you use Windows it might be a little harder. The WBFAN script is at Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by featured article nominations/script - as far as I know I'm the only one who has ever run it. I'll put the source for the monthly list scripts on a page somewhere (I'll let you know where) so anyone who might be interested can run them (or improve them). If you're interested, please feel free to use them. I'll keep these on my "to do" list, but if you get to them first that will be absolutely fine with me. -- Rick Block ( talk) 18:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I've posted the source for the by-month scripts as well, see Wikipedia:Featured articles nominated in 2006/scripts. I suspect the easiest way to use these on Windows would be to download cygwin (which I don't think comes with cURL, so you'd have to find this as well). The main processing is done in awk, which is vaguely a predecessor of perl. I don't think it would be difficult to translate the awk code to perl. -- Rick Block ( talk) 18:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

I'm wondering about your decision to switch the word "earliest" to "first" in the sentence about the "Protect Ya Neck"/"After Laughter Comes Tears" single. Obviously, these tracks were recorded EARLIER any other tracks on the album (making them the earliest tracks to make the album) but do we have any evidence that they were the FIRST to be selected for the album (the first tracks to make the album, as the current version states)?
Obviously, 36 Chambers probably contains just about everything Wu-Tang had recorded at that point, and it's likely that they picked these songs for the album because they were picking everything. However, I don't think we can simply assume that when RZA was assembling the tracks for the album he said "First off, I choose 'Protect Ya Neck' and 'Tearz'."
Maybe there's a better (less awkward) way to say "earliest to make the album", but I think "first to make the album" makes a potentially false assumption. Hope that makes sense. Hit me back. Venicemenace 20:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi-ya Tutmosis, Yeah i was moving some of those as I have seen there was a cat for "East Coast Hip Hop albums" but it was empty. I agree it should be re-named.

Hello Tutmosis, I see that you have decided to join the AMA. I'll be the first to say welcome! We're always in need of more advocates, especially since were backlogged most of the time. Before heading into your first case, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the AMA FAQ's, the Guide to Advocacy, and the AMA Handbook.
Just a few pointers for what we do. We communicate by putting a template on our talk page. The template is {{ AMA alerts}}. The AMA also has it's own IRC channel, which reports new cases and alerts to us. It can also be used as a place to ask for advice on an issue. If you'd like to jump right into a case, you are free to check out AMA Requests for Assistance, which is our new request for advocacy system. The instructions for how the technical part works is on it's talk page. You can also use the AMA userboxes that appear under here. If you have anymore questions about the organization, just ping any advocate's talk page, including our coordinator Steve Caruso or deputy coordinators Wikiwoohoo and Aeon.

Well, first of all I am not an administrator so I can not block anyone if that what you ment. Even if I was and this applies to the current administrators blocking powers are used only on very specific cases such as WP:3RR or WP:VANDAL or WP:AGF. Action to be taken in disagreements over content require various quite long steps outlined in Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. Therefore, looking again at that last page the best thing to do at the moment is for all parties to stop reverting each other and enter discussion. Since you requested an advocate [me :)] I am welcome to represent you in any discussion. If all forms of discussion fail, you (and if you wish me) can move on to various other dispute procedures like WP:3, WP:RFM and WP:RFC. I hope this answers any questions/thoughts you had. —Tutmosis 21:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Users will often be in conflict "unofficially". There needs to be no formal end to a conflict, no deals need to be made or anything. If the conflict has ended, then it is done, officially or not. Your handling of the case looks to be ok. There is no one right way to handle a case. Although there was one thing I did see on Talk:American Mutoscope and Biograph Company that looked a little odd, under the section Notice to Editors. There is no Wikipedia protocal that says that changes need to be discussed first. The only reason that ever happens is when a page is fully protected from editing due to edit wars. Also, there is no reason to add tags to an article for the heck of adding tags. There needs to be a specific reason to add a tag, and that reason should be expressed on the talk page. There are much better ways to get the attention of editors. And new users are not always drawn in just by a tag. Basically, there needs to be a reason for, and because it's happened before and preemptive aren't very good reasons. - Royalguard11( Talk· Desk· Review Me!) 23:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Tutmosis, I am posting for your review the most recent demand from Will Beback to tell "Him" hat the disputes are, or he will remove all the tags. Only one tag has to do with disputes. Please read the following Talk:American Mutoscope and Biograph Company and User talk:Roger the red. I would like to thank you for your impartiality and your assistance. Reading the "Talk" page postings from both links, there are personal accusations by this editor, which is truly reaching for straws and is not relevant to the improvement of "Content" for the mentioned article. First, I am not a part of an old company, or new company in this article, obviously. I have a couple of friends (Collegues) that are film historians helping me with certain research items on all articles, hence the word "Our" advocate, "Advocate" refering to you. I enjoy editing on Wikipedia without personal accusations and, I feel, harrassment in which I believe this is. It has happened time and again, and I post this User talk:Roger the red as just another example. Thank you. -- Roger the red 01:12, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Tutmosis, the postings on your "Talk" page have been removed with only links now. I only have a few minutes of time so this will be a disjointed reply to what is going on, but it will be as detailed as possible. I quickly reviewed your request and I will reverse the postings on the "Talk" page, however I will include a small link which the reader/editor can go to if they wish. On the other subject of tags, I insist they stay up. I will be happy to point out a "Case" on my return, but feel there is prejudicial circumstanes that have not been addressed. Since you are my "Advocate", you need to please review the postings of Will Beback and question him as well on the intentions of his accusations towards me and his insistance on removing ALL tags. I can somewhat understand to a point the "Factual" dispute tag with a "Case" in which I will compile, but the others "Neutrality", "Verifiablity", and especially "Confusing" (Articles like Mary Pickford and others like it are not confusing and understandable to the reader, this article is not) are valid and to stay. I also understand that all editors are to be treated equally, unless one is an actual Wikipedia "Administrator". I also question why it is such a major point to Will Beback to remove these tags. I respectfully request to you that my inclusions be treated equal as such. I refuse to make Wikipedia a "Battleground" and if this continues I will take this to arbitration and take further action through the proper Wikipedia channels, which I do not wish to do, or to further escalate this situation over "Tags".
Capsulated, the tags are there to notify any contributing editors of the articles problems, and for them to further edit this article. I shall be returning soon in which I will have a simplictic case ready. -- Roger the red 04:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, an article for Survivor: Cook Islands contestant J.P. Calderon is up for afd. Your opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scorpion 22:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I needed your assistance in a very serious problem and appeal to you as my advocate. There is an attempt to block me as a user on Wikipedia by Will Beback who is also an administrator. You can see the accusations on the talk pages. One of the main accusations is that I am somehow connected with the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company which I am not. Of course this will not give me even a chance to be able to write a rebuttal and explanation of the tags I have placed on the article. Unfortunately I am newer to Wikipedia and do not have members here in my defense. I can encourage friends and colleagues of mine who are involved with film history to join Wikipedia, but most likely they will be blocked as well. Whatever assistance you can be please let me know. I will be contacting Wikipedia administration to see what can be done. I do have my case mostly written in defense of my tag postings, but that may never happen because of this possible block. I have made my utmost attempt to follow Wikipedian policies and tried to provide fair editing and editing. But there is a coalition that does not wish to have outside contributions that negate their information. I am very busy and if this matter can be settled that would be nice, but I do have a life and need to focus on that, and on that note I will be absent for awhile longer though will try to log in periodically. If I am blocked, then it will be just an experience and that Wikipedia is something for anyone to truly avoid and definitely not support with contributions of information, membership or financially. This is not a threat by any means, for it is very sad at best. Please let me know as my AMA and thank you. -- Roger the red 01:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Tutmosis, I'm trying to help improve the quality of the facts in a series of pages that involve the history of the Jewish Chasidic movement. I'm not a chasid, just a very knowledgeable historian who has a large number of quality resources and references available to add. However, I'm getting hammered by some fanatical chasids who don't want to listen to facts or reason. They think they own all the facts. Nor are they recognizing the references and facts I'm presenting in what I believe to be a neutral manner. These folks keep undoing my work and basically ganging up on me and my contributions. I'm not saying that I'm always right. But I don't have a particular agenda other than getting the best information into Wiki as possible.
Can you please help me? I'm not asking you to agree with my point of view, but can you please keep an eye on this dispute and maybe help tone these fanatics down? I'm relatively new to Wiki contributions (a lurker for about a year) and would appreciate all the advice you are willing to give.
For a starting point, take a look at this page. This same dispute affects something like 5 or 6 pages of similar material.
Thanks in advance for you kind assistance! -- Klezmer 05:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
The problem isn't Hasidic fanatics -- the problem is Klezmer who ignores any facts or published works that he doesn't agree with or which don't support his agenda, and won't compromise, so he arbitrarily just keep deleting/reverting and wants the articles to reflect just his own opinion/views despite the comments and input of others who are more knowledgeable than he is about the facts. -- ChosidFrumBirth 21:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 20:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I have tagged Image:Backdafucup_part_II.jpg as {{ no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 16:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

I've had to revert your edits on this article; the "obvious spelling and grammar errors" weren't, of course; they were perfectly correct British English, which you changed to U.S. English. Articles should be left in the style of English in which you find them unless their subject matter is relevant to a certain style (you can change to "programme" to "program" in an article on U.S. television) or the style is inconsistent (in which case it should be made uniform in line with the style used by the original editor). -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 14:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Tutmosis, I want to lend a hand in adding to the Bay Area Hip hop scene. My personal interests are the Hyphy movement and Thizz, but there is sooooo damn much culture and what not, from the 80's with Too Short - Thizz Nation now. I figure, you being the king of the wiki Hop hop project, you might know (or have advice on) how to put together a team on getting this on there. As for as the to do list, subdivisions and what not. What would be the best way to learn about how to put something like this together? Thanks for any advice you may have. Carlos 18:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the comment. I just used the color scheme from most of the other SWU templates, but I think Wookiee is going through and making them all black and yellow. Deckiller 20:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry to be so blunt but it seems very strange to me for somebody to revert a spelling correction to an article without checking how the word is actually spelled. I'd just like to understand what would cause you to feel it's appropriate to revert good changes without checking that the revert was actually something bad. Receive is actually spelled this way, and not 'recieve', as a quick look in any dictionary will tell you. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to understand what compels a person to do such a thing, as it seems utterly bizarre to me. -- Rediahs 07:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Well I'm looking for something rather simple and square to go in{{ Star Wars Portal}} and/or {{ User Star Wars WikiProject}}. I can't be to complex because of the small size.

The old American vs. British style debate. Since Star Wars is an American product we would use American spelling.

I think each sub-section (specifically the stub list) needs to have their own section (the "==______==" header rather than the "===_____===" header). That way we can organize the stubs into seperate sub-catagories (i.e. album stubs, article stubs, etc.). What do you think?--chub 10:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Tutmosis. The way most portal colours are set is through a box-header sub-page. The New Zealand Portal colours can be edited from Portal:New Zealand/box-header. Thus, for the portal you are trying to create, you need to create a box-header. There are instructions at Wikipedia:Portal.-- cj | talk 14:05, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm eager to nominate Illmatic (which is currently being nominated for hip hop collaboration of the week) for FA-status, even though I feel that more can be done to improve it. I feel that with a collaborative effort from members of the hip hop wikiproject, we can bring up to FA status in no time. Do you think its time to close the votes for collaboration of the week, or should we leave it open for new members to weight their opinions in? -- Chubdub 14:53, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
'design specific dates when next article voting will take place, unless we want it weekly.
Within a certain amount of days the article with the most votes wins.
On further note, I think once a particular article has been selected, we should notify all the members of the collaborative effort. Thanks! -- Chubdub 19:21, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
A new template should also be made to announce the current Collaboration, such as this:

Definetely! A Hip hop peer review sound great. I'm certainly willing to be an active participant in that. Go for it!
On another note, how are things with recruiting new members to the project? I'd certainly be really to help -- Chubdub 15:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
And will this peer review be accompanied with a rating sytem? --
Chubdub
15:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Hopefully, once the project becomes further established, hopefully individual members will be willing to assume a more active role. And yes, there is still an immense amount of work that needs to be done (see the To-Do list) before we see significant signs of improvement to individual articles. But right now, we need to continue establishing the project. As for the rating system/peer review, I think the whole criteria system (lead, substance, pictures, references) sounds great! -- Chubdub 15:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

It seems that user User:Tutmosis. mimics your user and talk pages and vandalizes articles on military ranks. It is a sockpuppet of the long-term vandal Roitr (see User:Roitr/sockpuppetry)-- Nixer 09:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
If you want to resize images and improve the table appearance, please do it with not vandalized version. The versions you've edited in Ranks of the People's Liberation Army Navy and Ranks of the People's Liberation Army Air Force were vandalized by Roitr and unfortunately we can not always manage to revert all his edits before other users modify them. His versions are wrong and completely different from the proper ones. He inserts bogus ranks in the tables as long as completely wrong correspondence of military ranks from different countries. He has IP addresses starting with 88.155, 88.152, 88.153 etc. You can see other his IPs and edit patterns in User:Roitr/sockpuppetry. Please do not support vandalism.-- Nixer 18:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey Tutmosis!
Thank you so very much for your recent peer review analysis of Wikipedia's article on the DuMont Television Network. You really conducted a thorough review, and I appreciate that you checked all sections, added fact templates, and had a lot of comments to make. I will do my best to impliment your suggestions into the article. Thanks for looking at the article. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 01:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing the Hungarian Revolution article - you bring up a very valid point - one we have continuously debated - i.e. how to be accurately descriptive of the public sentiment without being too NPOV. The crux of the problem is that the event itself is the result of precisely these very strong (and very NPOV) feelings, which are noted repeatedly in the referenced documents (esp. the UN report). Only this strong emotion could persuade a small country to expel the Soviet occupation - certainly not calculated reason. We would certainly welcome your constructive comments and will take each one seriously. (I think you must have caught some of this back-and-forth precisely after posting your first comment). Consensus on the page, at lest, is that to avoid the emotional language would be to mislead the reader. If you can suggest a means of reconciling the conflict - i.e. achieving the best of both accuracy and NPOV then we are happy to hear it. Istvan 20:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. Ive begun to replace some of the more emotionally charged language as per suggestion. Most of these are to be found in the summaries at the top. I hope this is more acceptable now in this form. Istvan 21:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear Tutmosis, after days of ironing out POV/accuracy wrinkles, I would kindly invite you to re-visit the 1956 article for a fresh look - I think you will find it to be extremely well referenced. Thanks Istvan 08:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the very specific detailed concerns. We will attend to them straightaway. Istvan 16:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
See if the overhaul made overnight helps the article significantly. You've made some good suggestions so far. Thegreatdr 06:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Ouch... Disrespectful? Don't bite! I'm still kind of new. After the peer review, those of us interested really started to make some positive changes on the article, removing the quotes and placing the Wikiquote box. Removing several unnecessary external links. The problem was that since he is such a popular figure right now, we had so many people coming in adding new useless information and nonsense and vandolism that we had to clean up. It turned out that there really weren't as many "serious" wikipedians interesting in doing the grunt work on the article. I understand and completely respect your objections. I would suggest however that in the future you leave comments to the article themselves, because honestly calling me "disrespectful" I took personally.

Hey, sorry, I don't know much about Kiero, other than three songs that existed on it (Rise Like The Sun (The Dawn), Ride Like The Sun (The Dusk), and Musical Essence) and the fact it was only available in Toronto for a short while. There's an interview here where K-os expresses interest in re-releasing it, but only after being allowed to tamper with and redo the songs. Other than that, I've only found a few mentions here and there on various websites, but no meaty info. ( Rishi B 20:09, 21 October 2006 (UTC))
Hey again, I recently found some more info on k-os... seems in addition to Kiero, he had something called "Take You There"... it was an EP that contained the songs Take You There, and the Rise Like The Sun songs. Just the three tracks. It sometimes pops up on ebay, and according to a [k-os.forumsunlimited.com k-os fansite], it's legit. Apparently, it was distributed by an indie label (Pure) in the states, and is pretty hard to find (duh).( Rishi B 10:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC))

Hi. I find that musicsquare.net is useful for worldwide chart positions (though it only goes back to 2003), and you can find U.S. chart positions at billboard.com. There is also a less well-known chart called the ARC Weekly Top 40, the official website for which is at rockonthenet.com. I should note that some of the information on top40-charts.com is inaccurate. As for choosing which ones to include, I'd recommend against including airplay or download charts because I think a country's main single chart is an adequate indicator of a single's popularity in that country - there's no point including three charts if one conveys essentially the same information. I do think it is good to include any relevant genre-specific charts; for example, in the U.S. you have the Pop 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and so on. Hope that helps.

Hey I heard you were working on Settlers II. I looked over the gameplay section, and it looks pretty good. I wouldn't call it cheesy; it's written from an out of world perspective, and I think it covers all aspects (probably the two biggest problems of gameplay sections). I've never played the game, but are their different sides you can be (I.E. axis and allies in WWII games)? That's really all I saw missing from the gameplay section (it's kinda hard to know what's missing if you haven't played the game, and it'd be pretty dumb for me to pull that "broad in coverage" junk.). Another thing that might be the reason that you called it cheesy was because most of the paragrapghs subjects were "the player." For example "During the beginning of the game, the main warehouse is the only building that has a radius granting the player territory. The player can expand his territory by building any of the three possible military complex's near the border of his current territory and sending atleast 1 soldier to operate the complex. A serf can become a soldier once a sword and a shield are constructed." could be "During the beginning of the game, only the main warhouse has the ability to grant territory for further growth. Territory can be expanded by creating one of three military complexs near territory borders. Each complex must have at least one soilder to continually operate the complex. Soilders can be created by constructing a sword and shield, and using them to upgrade a serf." I'm not great with prose or spelling, but the idea I was trying to convey was that the subject changes as the paragrapgh moves on. If you are talking about soilders and how cool they are and you want to move on to serfs, try to connect them. I know you've probably dealt with prose a thousand times, but I'm just trying to get across that prose is still there in RTS games. If you need more help with structuring video game sections, JimmyBlackwing helped me out a lot. You're doing a great job though. Keep up the good work. -- Clyde Miller 22:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Excellent work. I did not know the code work and all. You did an excellent work by removing all the unwanted code and making it look nice. Even I had a thought of changing the colour to white but did not do it. I think the Motto looks somewhat smaller and the text to the links need to be in bold so that it looks attractive. I will do that.Thanking you.
The bold size did not work nicely. It looks very odd. So not making changes there. Chanakyathegreat 15:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh god, an incidence twice repeated of shit. The fall of civilization is being brought about by "profanity-filled lyrics" on a trivial Wikipedia page!! I cannot prove it to you beyond simply saying I have heard this very chorus many times. If you say this is "original research," then I dare you to fastidiously scour the article for any signs of unsourced writing (especially the section to which I was adding on, as its origins seem rather "specious" by your definitions) and delete it to satisfy your pompous faux-authoritarian impulses. Otherwise, revert it to my version at once.

A couple of points. Firstly, the issue of whether a free image can be created is a lot trickier than you seem to think. Is it really possible to create a free picture of J. D. Salinger (note that someone has challenged the fair use rationale of the current image, from a book cover by his daughter, and, so it'll probably get deleted soon enough)? In general, how easy is it to get a free picture of famous people? I think that the idea that the possibility of getting some famous person to release a photo on the GNU license (through wikipedia's "clout") should be totally off the table in terms of fair use criteria. If someone can get the person to do that, wonderful. But the possibility of this (vaguely present with every living person, and even with dead people, presumably) shouldn't actually cause us to delete existing images. The possibility of taking a picture of a famous person seems a priori similarly dubious - obviously there are exceptions, and there will be famous people it will be possible to get pictures of, but this is not easily possible to members of the general public in the way that, say, getting a picture of the Arc de Triomphe would be. Anyone in Paris can take a picture of the Arc de Triomphe and release it to wikipedia. To get a free picture of Tom Cruise is a lot tricker, and the conditions in which such a picture would be likely to be taken makes all the more likely that the picture will be awkward and poor and unprofessional compared to a promotional photo, which it would be perfectly legal for wikipedia to use. john k 10:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi - I noticed you added the November list to Wikipedia:Featured articles nominated in 2006. I've been doing these semi-automatically, with a script that parses through the nomination pages and creates the table. The script isn't perfect but it makes creating these tables a lot easier than doing it by hand. I generally update WP:WBFAN after updating the monthly list, with another script. If you're interested in updating these regularly (monthly) and have any interest in my scripts, please let me know. -- Rick Block ( talk) 17:41, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Annoy? Hell no. I have plenty of things to do and the more people able and willing to do any particular task the better. I actually put together a list a while ago of periodic maintenance tasks that various folks do, see Wikipedia:Maintenance/tasklist (but haven't added tasks related to featured articles). The scripts are shell/awk, I run them on a Mac OS X. If you're on Mac or Linux it should be very easy, if you use Windows it might be a little harder. The WBFAN script is at Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by featured article nominations/script - as far as I know I'm the only one who has ever run it. I'll put the source for the monthly list scripts on a page somewhere (I'll let you know where) so anyone who might be interested can run them (or improve them). If you're interested, please feel free to use them. I'll keep these on my "to do" list, but if you get to them first that will be absolutely fine with me. -- Rick Block ( talk) 18:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I've posted the source for the by-month scripts as well, see Wikipedia:Featured articles nominated in 2006/scripts. I suspect the easiest way to use these on Windows would be to download cygwin (which I don't think comes with cURL, so you'd have to find this as well). The main processing is done in awk, which is vaguely a predecessor of perl. I don't think it would be difficult to translate the awk code to perl. -- Rick Block ( talk) 18:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.
We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.
The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.
If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.

I'm wondering about your decision to switch the word "earliest" to "first" in the sentence about the "Protect Ya Neck"/"After Laughter Comes Tears" single. Obviously, these tracks were recorded EARLIER any other tracks on the album (making them the earliest tracks to make the album) but do we have any evidence that they were the FIRST to be selected for the album (the first tracks to make the album, as the current version states)?
Obviously, 36 Chambers probably contains just about everything Wu-Tang had recorded at that point, and it's likely that they picked these songs for the album because they were picking everything. However, I don't think we can simply assume that when RZA was assembling the tracks for the album he said "First off, I choose 'Protect Ya Neck' and 'Tearz'."
Maybe there's a better (less awkward) way to say "earliest to make the album", but I think "first to make the album" makes a potentially false assumption. Hope that makes sense. Hit me back. Venicemenace 20:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi-ya Tutmosis, Yeah i was moving some of those as I have seen there was a cat for "East Coast Hip Hop albums" but it was empty. I agree it should be re-named.

Hello Tutmosis, I see that you have decided to join the AMA. I'll be the first to say welcome! We're always in need of more advocates, especially since were backlogged most of the time. Before heading into your first case, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the AMA FAQ's, the Guide to Advocacy, and the AMA Handbook.
Just a few pointers for what we do. We communicate by putting a template on our talk page. The template is {{ AMA alerts}}. The AMA also has it's own IRC channel, which reports new cases and alerts to us. It can also be used as a place to ask for advice on an issue. If you'd like to jump right into a case, you are free to check out AMA Requests for Assistance, which is our new request for advocacy system. The instructions for how the technical part works is on it's talk page. You can also use the AMA userboxes that appear under here. If you have anymore questions about the organization, just ping any advocate's talk page, including our coordinator Steve Caruso or deputy coordinators Wikiwoohoo and Aeon.

Well, first of all I am not an administrator so I can not block anyone if that what you ment. Even if I was and this applies to the current administrators blocking powers are used only on very specific cases such as WP:3RR or WP:VANDAL or WP:AGF. Action to be taken in disagreements over content require various quite long steps outlined in Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. Therefore, looking again at that last page the best thing to do at the moment is for all parties to stop reverting each other and enter discussion. Since you requested an advocate [me :)] I am welcome to represent you in any discussion. If all forms of discussion fail, you (and if you wish me) can move on to various other dispute procedures like WP:3, WP:RFM and WP:RFC.

Users will often be in conflict "unofficially". There needs to be no formal end to a conflict, no deals need to be made or anything. If the conflict has ended, then it is done, officially or not. Your handling of the case looks to be ok. There is no one right way to handle a case. Although there was one thing I did see on Talk:American Mutoscope and Biograph Company that looked a little odd, under the section Notice to Editors. There is no Wikipedia protocal that says that changes need to be discussed first. The only reason that ever happens is when a page is fully protected from editing due to edit wars. Also, there is no reason to add tags to an article for the heck of adding tags. There needs to be a specific reason to add a tag, and that reason should be expressed on the talk page. There are much better ways to get the attention of editors. And new users are not always drawn in just by a tag. Basically, there needs to be a reason for, and because it's happened before and preemptive aren't very good reasons. - Royalguard11( Talk· Desk· Review Me!) 23:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Tutmosis, I am posting for your review the most recent demand from Will Beback to tell "Him" hat the disputes are, or he will remove all the tags. Only one tag has to do with disputes. Please read the following Talk:American Mutoscope and Biograph Company and User talk:Roger the red. I would like to thank you for your impartiality and your assistance. Reading the "Talk" page postings from both links, there are personal accusations by this editor, which is truly reaching for straws and is not relevant to the improvement of "Content" for the mentioned article. First, I am not a part of an old company, or new company in this article, obviously. I have a couple of friends (Collegues) that are film historians helping me with certain research items on all articles, hence the word "Our" advocate, "Advocate" refering to you. I enjoy editing on Wikipedia without personal accusations and, I feel, harrassment in which I believe this is. It has happened time and again, and I post this User talk:Roger the red as just another example. Thank you. -- Roger the red 01:12, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Tutmosis, the postings on your "Talk" page have been removed with only links now. I only have a few minutes of time so this will be a disjointed reply to what is going on, but it will be as detailed as possible. I quickly reviewed your request and I will reverse the postings on the "Talk" page, however I will include a small link which the reader/editor can go to if they wish. On the other subject of tags, I insist they stay up. I will be happy to point out a "Case" on my return, but feel there is prejudicial circumstanes that have not been addressed. Since you are my "Advocate", you need to please review the postings of Will Beback and question him as well on the intentions of his accusations towards me and his insistance on removing ALL tags. I can somewhat understand to a point the "Factual" dispute tag with a "Case" in which I will compile, but the others "Neutrality", "Verifiablity", and especially "Confusing" (Articles like Mary Pickford and others like it are not confusing and understandable to the reader, this article is not) are valid and to stay. I also understand that all editors are to be treated equally, unless one is an actual Wikipedia "Administrator". I also question why it is such a major point to Will Beback to remove these tags. I respectfully request to you that my inclusions be treated equal as such. I refuse to make Wikipedia a "Battleground" and if this continues I will take this to arbitration and take further action through the proper Wikipedia channels, which I do not wish to do, or to further escalate this situation over "Tags".
Capsulated, the tags are there to notify any contributing editors of the articles problems, and for them to further edit this article. I shall be returning soon in which I will have a simplictic case ready. -- Roger the red 04:57, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, an article for Survivor: Cook Islands contestant J.P. Calderon is up for afd. Your opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scorpion 22:34, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I needed your assistance in a very serious problem and appeal to you as my advocate. There is an attempt to block me as a user on Wikipedia by Will Beback who is also an administrator. You can see the accusations on the talk pages. One of the main accusations is that I am somehow connected with the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company which I am not. Of course this will not give me even a chance to be able to write a rebuttal and explanation of the tags I have placed on the article. Unfortunately I am newer to Wikipedia and do not have members here in my defense. I can encourage friends and colleagues of mine who are involved with film history to join Wikipedia, but most likely they will be blocked as well. Whatever assistance you can be please let me know. I will be contacting Wikipedia administration to see what can be done. I do have my case mostly written in defense of my tag postings, but that may never happen because of this possible block. I have made my utmost attempt to follow Wikipedian policies and tried to provide fair editing and editing. But there is a coalition that does not wish to have outside contributions that negate their information. I am very busy and if this matter can be settled that would be nice, but I do have a life and need to focus on that, and on that note I will be absent for awhile longer though will try to log in periodically. If I am blocked, then it will be just an experience and that Wikipedia is something for anyone to truly avoid and definitely not support with contributions of information, membership or financially. This is not a threat by any means, for it is very sad at best. Please let me know as my AMA and thank you. -- Roger the red 01:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! -- Ozgod 22:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Tutmosis, I'm trying to help improve the quality of the facts in a series of pages that involve the history of the Jewish Chasidic movement. I'm not a chasid, just a very knowledgeable historian who has a large number of quality resources and references available to add. However, I'm getting hammered by some fanatical chasids who don't want to listen to facts or reason. They think they own all the facts. Nor are they recognizing the references and facts I'm presenting in what I believe to be a neutral manner. These folks keep undoing my work and basically ganging up on me and my contributions. I'm not saying that I'm always right. But I don't have a particular agenda other than getting the best information into Wiki as possible.
Can you please help me? I'm not asking you to agree with my point of view, but can you please keep an eye on this dispute and maybe help tone these fanatics down? I'm relatively new to Wiki contributions (a lurker for about a year) and would appreciate all the advice you are willing to give.
For a starting point, take a look at this page. This same dispute affects something like 5 or 6 pages of similar material.
Thanks in advance for you kind assistance! -- Klezmer 05:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
The problem isn't Hasidic fanatics -- the problem is Klezmer who ignores any facts or published works that he doesn't agree with or which don't support his agenda, and won't compromise, so he arbitrarily just keep deleting/reverting and wants the articles to reflect just his own opinion/views despite the comments and input of others who are more knowledgeable than he is about the facts. -- ChosidFrumBirth 21:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, Tutmosis. The old discussion about 'Pac's birthname is back! I've filed an request for comment hoping to clear this up. The RFC can be found under "Tupac Shakur" on this list, and the actual discussion can be found on Talk:Tupac Shakur#RfC, in case you wish to participate. - Mysekurity 06:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Wow. Finding references for the Shadow Cabinet was difficult. Of course, cos it's all assumed to be common knowledge there's hardly anything I could use. I'm still working on that final Lib Dem cabinet claim, which was also not mentioned anywhere. Grr. Anyway. Hope you're well. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 01:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Since you have previously voted for the featured article Austin Nichols, maybe you are interested in the current featured article review. – Ilse @ 23:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
A long time ago, you gave me some very helpful suggestions and kind comments about my article in a peer review. It recently passed for FA status. I would like to invite you back to read the page once more. ( Ghostexorcist 20:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC))
Thank you for noticing, I really appreciate it. After seeing the horrid quality that this article was earlier this year (like this version for example), I couldn't help but do something about it. So thanks heaps for the barnstar, I think this is the third one I've got for this article :) Spellcast 17:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading
Image:Gang related (film).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 05:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Shut_em_down_(album).jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 20:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I have tagged Image:Backdafucup_part_II.jpg as {{ no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 16:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.
