folks catching spelling goofs on the articles i write, [even when i use spellcheck] but on my User Page? Good work. Carptrash 08:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Auxentius of Bithynia

quick question, you added birth year category for St. Auxentius. I didn't because we only have a circa 400 birth year. Is it proper to add birth year categories when they are approximate? Not a challenge, just a question for my own edification -- I am in the process of adding a number of saints from the East and would like to be proper and consistent. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Question

Hey Ricky - can you tell me why the page for Karolyn Hart was removed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Harkaro (talk • contribs) 18:40, March 13, 2006 (UTC).

Template:Supportvote

I've deleted Template:Supportvote again since it has been voted on not just once but twice. It's recreation has also been considered a speedy deletion recently so do not create it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I myself don't see the big deal with having them; they're actually quite useful and don't take up as much page room as if you actually wrote it all out in script. But that's what I just did. I used AWB and substituted the templates for real words. I figured it would run into trouble sooner or later. I appreciate your telling me, though. --J @red ^[T]/_[+] 12:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I never even knew there was such a thing as deletion review. I know that you only deleted it because of the previous (2 ) deletion debates, so I don't want to challenge your opinion. But in the future, if I ever feel like they should be reinstated, I'll put it up on deletion debate. Thanks again! Jared 15:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Ben Ondrus

Why do you keep deleting my information on Ben Ondrus? Norum 03:37, 03 April 2006 (UTC)

I was just trying to make sure there is some info on every Maple Leafs' player on the current squad.

Abbas Ibn al-Ahnaf

Thanks for raising the questions. I've corrected them. 750, rechecking 'Bird Through A Ceiling of Alabaster', is the date of his birth. Some slip of mine adding it also as the date of his death. Corrected, and moved, the name as well. Again, thanks for drawing attention to it. (JoeBlogsDord 16:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC))

Re: Orphaned fairuse image categories

smack* Gah, that's a complete oversight at my part, dunno why I wrote 5 days instead of 7. I'll get right on fixing it. --Sherool (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I did not create the Febraury ones, however the backlog rely do go back to early March, so whenever there was actualy any images sorted under that day I created a category for it rather than leave it hanging in limbo becase I did not have the time to delete them all myself at the time. Fixed the 5 day thing now by the way. --Sherool (talk) 20:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, there's so many different rules for various things, its hard sometimes to keep track of them. - pm_shef 03:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for unvandalising my user page :D People were talking about it on our uni's irc channel which is normally a baaad sign, but by the time I got to it you'd undone the damage (being that I work for a school, damage is really the word). ZoFreX 23:41, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Category:Geminis

Thanks for adding the category to the list. I am somewhat new at listing/adding categories for deletion. I just stumbled upon that particular category and felt it is not worthy of being so. Thanks again. P.S. I'm also not sure if this response should be in MY talk page or in your talk page (which I have done). Thanks again. --Zimbabweed 07:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't Delete It

Why is it vandalizm when other people post new things? This is not fair. Everything that I make has to be deleted? I look on Google before I post anything that you would think is nonsence and nothing that is worthy. Come on, don't do this. This is not for Hip Hop people, it's for everybody. Real people, so come on, please, don't delete anything. Categorys of things are like Year of Births. Year of Birth Missing is not worthy, but you intend to put that there, but that has nothing to do with categorys. The year of birth missing category got me to do something new, adding Signs, which is cool and I'll get people to be intrested in that person. So please, don't do anything. - 3:25 P.M./22 May 2006 - A Different World

Jozef Korbas

Hi this is Tymek 17:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC) Unfortunately I have no idea whether Jozef Korbas is still alive. Most probably he died some time ago, I am trying to find more information about him, but so far without success. Anyway we should regard him as a dead person.

Re. the image that you added in this article, it looks like the copyright is incorrect. The user who uploaded it apparently took it from the site of a newspaper. Tintin (talk) 17:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Establishments and Disestablishments by year

The third and fourth parameters in Template:estcat are used to link to the preceeding year and succeeding years outside of the decade of the year in question. Have a look at the << and >> elements in Category:1918 establishments and see that (at present) they are missing from Category:1818 establishments. Please feel free to work on the disestablishments by year - otherwise I will get round to it when I get some free time. Greenshed 22:10, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Category renaming.

Hello,

You recently tagged Category:Outlaw Poets for speedy renaming; is there a reason you avoided being bold, and just implementing the category rename yourself?

Just curious, is all... Folajimi 13:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Why delete EMail, Web URLs?

I may be a rookie here, but there were URL links pre-existing on "KOME" page before I've lately embellished it. I don't recall seeing any policy proscribing such links (I've dabbled at law, too). What is your objection?

By the way (since you may be a veteran here): altho I understand the general idea that one should avoid autobiography and enumerating one's own accomplishments, in this not-that-old history of radio stations (and probably some other areas), a certain amount of detail from one's own resume is likely to be much more accurate than another's foggy recollections. Further, I can foresee the " in propria persona defendant questioning himself" scenario such as: "While yet technically "free-form", 1972 Program Director Jay William Weed instituted a red, green, yellow color code with which to monitor each DJs music balance". What is "party-line" or common practice in this regard?

Zbtb7 deletion

Hey Ricky. The Zbtb7 that I deleted came up in New Pages. In the space of six minutes I deleted six articles from the New Pages list, Zbtb7 being the fourth of the sixth. Beats me. How could this appear in the new list? Moriori 07:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

re:Baseball Card Images

User:No Guru, whom you are referring to when you state "as said above...", seems to have been satisfied by my explanation, which I will quote below:

"HI: I read your message this morning re: baseball card images used in articles. I thought it was okay to do so because I have seen others that have been similarly used and have survived deletion for quite some time now. I used the same rationale as those did, thinking that it must be the correct way to go. Also, I read the discussion page you suggested, and it seems that the issue is still being debated, and no consensus has been reached regarding this matter. Thanks for your time. BurmaShaver 18:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)"

As you can see, his only other comment afterwards re: baseball card images was, "Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing. -- No Guru 18:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)"

So...I don't believe you have the authority to delete my images because: 1) my rationale has already been approved by one of your co-workers; 2) many, many other such images continue to be left alone (hopefully not due to favortism for some users over others); and 3) obviously, no true consensus has been reached regarding this matter. (Have you read the discussion page that No Guru referred me to?)

I'm being as polite as I can be...I hope you have an open mind to what I have written. All I'm trying to do is improve the quality of some Wikipedia articles, and I think it would be extremely wrong for you to delete my efforts, especially when this issue is still such a gray area. Please respond. BurmaShaver 06:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your apology...I very much appreciate it. Also, thanks for your further response and explanation. I'm glad that you are being so fair about this. I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia and trying to make it better, as it is a great project. I hope that all administrators will eventually come to the conclusion that baseball card images are in no way harmful, and qualify as fair use. Thanks again. BurmaShaver 06:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Your question

I can assure you he is. I went way over the top assuming good faith with him (his command of English is very limited, I even tried to help him with a link to an Albanian-English dictionary), but his attitude and disregard towards WP:OWN policy is just too much to tolerate (i.e. "his articles"). If you get more troubles from him, just remember that he's been permablocked before. Well, the problem is he edits from an AOL account so there's no point on blocking the IP.

deleted entry

Hi this is in regaurds to the entry on Velvel Pasternak, I didn't realize how the talk page worked and didn't see your messages till after the page was deleted. I could probably be accused of putting up a vanity post, Velvel is my dad. On the other hand he's also one of the worlds formost expert's on Jewish music and put together (notated/compiled/edited/arranged) close to 200 music books. Being a niche subject the notablity guidelines might have a hard time applying but he's just as well known in the jewish music world as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Carlebach or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debbie_Friedman. niether of whom has gotten a grammy or had a top 10 record.

As for the fact that the posting was from other sources on the web, the original bio was written by Velvel and he was happy to have it up on wikipedia.Gedalia 12:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
