Unusual articles though it was funny

Hi user Reywas92 I did think your Photo was funny that was on the page Unusual articles. But I think it would look better on the page for Unusual Photos of Wikipedia. The photo may have no place on the page for Unusual articles because there is no Unusual articles about picking you nose. If I have missed that page I am sorry. By the way is that you in the photo? and if so are you simply putting it on this page to have your 5 seconds of Fame? But I would have to say I feel that if you study the cold war, you would think that the Stanislav Petrov page is unusual in that the situation did not end in World War III

On a personal note I like your "Knowledge is power" -Quote

I love the page Unusual articles as i am sure you do and hope we can improve the page together. Max 17:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


Paradigm High

And why is the Paradigm High School article nominated for deletion? Answer on my talk page please. Sir Intellegent 22:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I apologize. I just thought of following the link. I saw the reason, and I fixed it (I hope that is enough). There is a note there to the school director that they shouldn't edit put such content on wikipedia... I will let the school director know personally so It won't happen again. sorry for the problem. Sir Intellegent 23:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
It is a little school, I just thought it might be nice to have it here. But I fixed the advertising. The posters I put up in the school says that the article must be completely neutral. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience. Sir Intellegent 23:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Paul Sills

Hi. I removed your speedy request from the article that was at "Paul sills". I moved it to " Paul Sills"; note that there are already a number of other articles linked to it, and he seems to have been one of the organizers of the notable theater group The Second City.

Self-identification as a minor

Hi, on your user page, you have self-identified as a minor. Although somewhat controversial, many editors here on Wikipedia think that that is not a good idea, and would advise against it. It's certainly not necessary to reveal your age, or any other personally identifiable information. I'll also drop a note on the admins notice board letting them know. WLD talk| edits 22:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Editing at Apostrophe

Hi Reywas. First, let me say how dreadful it feels to have misspelt "persistent" in my edit summary there. (A simple slip, but I do agonise. Can't revise edit summaries!) Second, let me point out that I myself would never use an apostrophe in "1960s", and that I have written against that practice, outside of Wikipedia. But it is not wrong to use one. Some authorities allow it; and even if none could be found, this still would not be sufficient to have it branded as wrong. The anonymous editor whose unexplained edit we are sympathetic to did not respect NPOV, and removed a carefully annotated and suppported piece of NPOV text. It did the job – much better than the altered version.

Richard Sproat page targeted for possible deletion.

I am going to add a {{hangon}} to the top of the Sproat page. I am not sure why you targeted this for possible deletion: it seems to provide enough evidence for notability. MellonC 17:55, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for removing that. I also added a couple of other external references: Jurafsky & Martin's textbook, which cites Sproat's work a lot, and the Wikipedia Indus Valley script article which cite Sproat's work with Farmer and Witzel on that topic. Hopefully this should establish the point. Anyway thanks for drawing my attention to the fact that the article needed more external support.

RFA thanks

Thank you, Reywas92, for your constructive comments in my recent RFA, which passed with 86 support, 8 oppose, and 5 neutral !votes. I will keep in mind all your suggestions and/or concerns, and will try to live up to your standards. Please, if you have any comments or complaints about my actions as an administrator, leave a note on my talk page, and I will respond as soon as I possibly can, without frying my brain, of course.
Thank you once more,

Richard Sproat page targeted for possible deletion.

I am going to add a {{hangon}} to the top of the Sproat page. I am not sure why you targeted this for possible deletion: it seems to provide enough evidence for notability. MellonC 17:55, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for removing that. I also added a couple of other external references: Jurafsky & Martin's textbook, which cites Sproat's work a lot, and the Wikipedia Indus Valley script article which cite Sproat's work with Farmer and Witzel on that topic. Hopefully this should establish the point. Anyway thanks for drawing my attention to the fact that the article needed more external support.
