If you have some time please provide us with an input at this RFC on 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay article and this Merger Contest. Thank You! -- HappyInGeneral ( talk) 23:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Just testing. Nice to see someone actually reads the things... –  iride scent 00:31, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

And an interesting read it is. :) JN 466 00:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to comment on the proposed changes but I thought I would ask your advice about how to go about it, so that the process goes smoothly in the section that you started.

There are two aspects: 1) parts of the current version that should be kept, rather than changed by the proposed version 2) more changes in the subject parts of the current version than what is proposed.

Before going on, maybe it's best that I pause to get your thoughts so far. Thanks. -- Bob K31416 ( talk) 20:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I've had second thoughts about all of this, so you can disregard the above. -- Bob K31416 ( talk) 23:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. Let's be honest. It was a collaborative effort. Without some of the help here, including you, the article wouldn't have made. I may have done the research but all of you helped on the prose. Thanks again. MisterBee1966 ( talk) 17:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

If you take a look at Cologne War, you'll see that several battles are missing. In fact, nearly all the battles are missing, but I figured there would only be a few that might get done. The books with info on the battles are all in google, or several other sites. Would you be willing to help me with these? Texts are mostly in German. I have asked a guy to work on maps, and he's doing that, at least he says he is. I don't think they need to be overly elaborate articles, just the basics. Most of them were sieges and plundering; I think the only "set" battle occurred at Alost. Ruth Auntieruth55 ( talk) 18:47, 20 September 2009 (UTC) (btw, I added a quote from Detzner's book to the article, plus a couple of other things--the quote could probably use some help -- my translation was quite "liberal").

I think in the book Detzner doesn't say they were afraid this was going to happen, but mentions someone else (falsely) reporting that they had been killed and eaten – is that correct? If so, could you give me the two sentences prior to the quoted passage? I'll see what I can do then to retain the colorful image without straying unduly from the original.

As for the battles, I am up to my ears in work right now and will be until Tuesday, but I'll look into them then. Cheers, -- JN 466 19:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

full article here it's amazing that I keep finding more stuff, even after I did a fairly thorough search 3 months ago! Auntieruth55 ( talk) 21:46, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I found that one as well yesterday; I remember it was linked from some page along with Ritter and three others. JN 466 22:01, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

thanks for your help! and for the source! Ruth Auntieruth55 ( talk) 23:58, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate the serious effort you have given to reviewing the article. In response to your preliminary criticism about the 'A said X, B said Y, C said Z', I have restructured the section. Hopefully, it flows better now. Your feedback would be appreciated. However, in restructuring, one or two of the ideas may have been orphaned - specifically the Yangcheng thread of the storyline. For the moment, I have merged it with ter Haar's idea that it wasn't a set-up. Ohconfucius ( talk) 10:04, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I very much enjoyed, User:Jayen466#Verifiability and truth explained. And I very much admire that character played by Nasrudin (if he is a real historical figure, then I would need to rephrase it, however this is the first time I hear about him). My problem with Nasrudin is that today people might call him foolish, because when he said "I am going," said Nasrudin, "to be hanged on that gallows." the guard could have replied him "Go."

Now I believe that this did not happen and Nasrudin knew it, because in that society/circumstance virtue was cherished, so it was inconceivable for someone to be sent to his death just to save face (the guard's face).

I am looking to ideas to review my user page, so this caught my eye. Thanks! -- HappyInGeneral ( talk) 10:49, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. For background on Nasrudin, see Nasreddin. Cheers! -- JN 466 10:59, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
