Hi there - noted your comments re the project, that's fine with me. User:A Lewis has made some contributions to fire articles - perhaps you should approach him/her about getting involved with the project. Escaper7 09:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Ditto: User:Geotek

This isn't a huge priority, but I thought you should know that someone vandalized the Elizabeth Hartman article, inserting claims that the actress was murdered. In the original version, doubts surrounding her death were acknowledged by stating (rather ambiguously) that she "fell." It turns out the user in question has a long history of targeting articles on women who experienced violent deaths. I'm not sure of the procedure for blocking such users (this individual has been threatened with blocking in the past), so I thought I'd pass on this information.

Thanks, again, for forwarding the New Republic article. I had been aware of the article and read excerpts, but this is the first time I had a chance to read the whole thing. Down the road, a separate article on Youngstown's history of organized crime might be worthwhile. ~ haeksang 11:32 16 February 2007 (UTC)

OK. here's a difficult question. Who's the most attractive woman in the Senate... my vote is for Mary Landrieu, followed by Maria Cantwell.-- Dr who1975 19:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Lisa Murkowski or Cantwell. The pickins are slim on the Senate side. -- Daysleeper47 23:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Come to think of it.. in the main wiki picture of Landrieu, she looks pretty good but then when you look at other pictures she doesn;t look quite as good... it's similar with Blanche Lincoln.

Thanks for catching my slight error: [1]. I thought I had it perfect, but c'est la vie. -- Ali'i 15:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I noticed your addition of a missing anon signature to a post in Talk:Youngstown, Ohio. I'm wondering why you you're leaving out the timestamp. That can be important in trying to untangle messy discussions and even entire talk pages, especially since many anons don't realize WP talk pages are in oldest-to-newest order. If you find it inconvenient using {{ unsigned}}'s username|date format, I've found the reverse-order {{ unsigned2}} to be invaluable, as you can just copy the edit-history timestamp-and-username and just add a pipe between the two. Just a thought. ~ Jeff Q  (talk) 07:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you've taken the time to classify Channel Tunnel fire as B-class in Wikiproject Fire Service. What do you think needs changed? references; balance of content; NPOV, an important section; or comprehensive rewrite to make it flow? Just wondering, as I have my own ideas: I like the text as it is but think it needs graphics and don't have the time to do them.

If you're interested in the subject of tunnel fires, you might want to classify Caldecott Tunnel fire, Holland Tunnel fire, King's Cross Fire, Oxford Circus fire, Salang tunnel fire and Summit Tunnel fire too. I've worked on these purely from the point of view of a fire safety design engineer and it would be useful to get a firefighter's perspective. Ecb 20:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed feedback: I'll reconsider my downer on inline citations (at the moment I think they're just typographical litter!). Probably won't have time to add graphics unless I win the lottery & retire, though. Cheers, Ecb 21:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Could you please provide a source for this image to prove that it is a U.S. Government document? Thanks. -- Tom ( talk - email) 20:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Heres the image you requested with transparency. ^SyBer_WoLff 21:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Daysleeper 47, Thanks for the heads-up on the TIME article. I'll weave in some of the content when I have a chance to.-- haeksang 05:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Just though I would leave a note in case its not on anyones WatchList; Incident Commander has been MERGED with Incident commander. It turned out that IC capitalized was ONLY Fire related and the Ic mixed capitols was ONLY Medical related. If you or anyone in the WikiProject Fire Service could stop by, it would be appreciated. exit2dos2000 22:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

please be advised that the use of the Guinness logo and promotion posters in such places as userboxes violates Wikipedia's Fair Use policies and therefore was removed.

Thanks for the notification. Removed the whole userbox until I can redo it. IceWeasel 02:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. As you know we've discussed moving this, can you have a look at: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy as one editor has now opposed. I'm not 100% certain how a category move works so I'd appreciate youre help. Escaper7 13:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll add content to this page as I come across information on previous mayors. -- haeksang 23:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Kizor, thanks for the work on protecting and fact checking the Virginia Tech massacre page. -- Daysleeper47 17:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I do what I can, because I can. -- Kizor 17:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Gutted. I assumed it was fine as I saw another user using the logos in his/her user page. Bur thanks for the heads up. -- Fragileartofexistence 21:22, 23 April 2007 (BST)

Hi Daysleeper, long time no communicate. You might like to know that Tellyaddict says on his user page that he's closed his account and is now using another name. Makes the smooth running of this project a little difficult since he's only told selective eds his new login. Escaper2007 13:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

{{ helpme}} My userpage has again been vandalized by a sockpuppet of User:DenDeZ. I would prefer not to post the user's name as it is vulgar, so please check my talk page history. This stems from an incident late last month when I removed copywritten pictures from that user's talk page due to the WP:FU violation. Following that incident, he posted a "middle finger" using keyboard characters on my talk page. He has since trashed me with other users. I would appreciate it if you would please ban the offending sockpuppet and begin to take action against the puppetmaster. Cheers, Daysleeper47 16:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I have reported Gaysleeper ( talk · contribs) to WP:AIV and he has ben blocked, the other one (User:Gaydaysleeper) has been already indef blocked. Would you like me to file a report at page protection requests to have your userpage semi-protected from IP editing and user acounts younger than four days old? Dont worry about it, we are all here to help and I'll keep an eye on Special:Log/newusers. Thanks - The Sunshine Man 16:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I've replied on my talk. Cheers, Petros471 18:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
