disambiguation [thanks for the dab Java, RW] mfc 21:33, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Hello. I'd just like to say "thanks" for the dab work on (at least!) two articles I created. I do appreciate your willingness to fine-tune badly linked articles with what must be, after all, grunt work. So again, here's a big thanks for making everything run that much smoother. And I'll try to link better in the future myself. Ensiform 05:38, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments,
I'm doing most of my work in Spanish and I need to pass all the images here. I don't know how long it's gonna take me but I'll do it. When I wrote for the Sugacubes' albums I didn't mean to write about the songs but about the singles separated released and by doing so I could match some info about producers and other artits involved
Kind regards, Lmb 01:41, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Thanks. Done. HAND --Phil 08:13, Feb 12, 2004 (UTC)
I decided that it was about time you were an admin, so I took the liberty to nominate you. You'll need to visit Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship and note whether you accept or decline at some point (there's no rush). Stewart Adcock 17:47, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi, nice work for disambiguation of Apache. Sure there are a lot of them. I was wondering can you disambiguate Apache in computing context to Apache HTTP Server instead of Apache Software Foundation. I think most of time, Apache means the server not people who maintain it. -- Taku 05:13, Feb 19, 2004 (UTC)
Okay. That was all what I wanted to say. Keep your good work. -- Taku 05:22, Feb 19, 2004 (UTC)
Congratulations! You are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. Good luck. Angela. 23:30, Feb 24, 2004 (UTC)
So, uh, why is Talk:Rock climbing area a redirect to a talk page of a completely different article? That's kind of strange, plus makes it difficult to discuss the article of which it is a talk page... Stan 03:56, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)
So what was the result of White perch being on VFD? The vfd notice is still on the page if it was decided to keep the page. RedWolf 04:48, Feb 27, 2004 (UTC)
I don't even remember putting mixed vegetables on VFD, but I went through a brief period of posting recipes there, to be transwikied to Wikibooks and then deleted. I waded into a controversy I didn't know existed, got called an anti-Albanian bigot, and drifted away from the argument (though I continue to have an opinion.) The discussion has been moved to Talk:List of recipes/Delete.
Thanks for the comments directly to me about apocatastasis. This approach is a lot more helpful when concerns arise over an article than a VfD entry. Of course, this is impossible when only anonymous users without talk pages are the contributors. I am usually quite happy to look for compromises in articles where I have been a significant participant. In its earlier incarnation I agree that the concept was nothing more than a dictionary definition, but my feeling is that it is also a theological concept that has had some influence over the years. It would be nice to expand the stub.
I also think that there are better ways of dealing with a Wikipedia article that should really be in a sister project. Rather than outright deletion it would cause less aggravation if a message were left on the page such as The article which was previously here was more properly a dictionary definition. To read this definition please go to Wiktionary: ... This could remain harmlessly as a stub indefinitely, Eclecticology 08:01, 2004 Mar 4 (UTC)
Heh, I think I had it on my list to expound on further, but don't actually remember now. The todo section is basically me typing in scrawled notes on postits so I can clear my desk, not always that coherent! :-) Stan 05:51, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The image you uploaded was listed on Wikipedia:Possible copyright infringements on March 2nd. The image text indicated that you were the copyright owner and agreed to the GFDL but you added text indicating further restrictions on the copyright that did not meet the requirements of GFDL. If you will remove those additional restrictions and release your image solely under the GFDL I will undelete the image or you can reupload it. Is that acceptable? - Texture 03:59, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sorry I seemed a bit abrupt about this, but as it happened I had good reason without realising it: just as I was about to add a (hopefully) soothing message to your talk page (i.e. here :-) Mozilla died on me. Completely. What I was going to say was I hoped you weren't put out by my tone. See you around. --Phil | Talk 11:06, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)
It would be better if you disambiguated MD with Doctor of Medicine instead of doctorate. --Jiang 01:39, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Some good editing with Triumph. However I noticed in the Wikipedia Style Guide (Naming Conventions) it says the use of the ampersand should be avoided in article titles re. Triumph album Rock & Roll Machine. Iam 08:44, Apr 2, 2004 (UTC)
We're going to have to give serious consideration in splitting up the song pages further. Both S and W are rapidly approaching the 100kb mark. The "list of people by name" is a good template to start on the way they have formatted things alphabetically and split it into subpages. I'm going to have a look at various ways we can do this. Iam 01:17, Apr 11, 2004 (UTC)
Is it just me? Wikipedia has been very slow for the past several days. Sometimes, I get decent response time, other times, it's pitiful. I've substantially reduced my editing time because it's not worth the painful wait. I don't see anything in the announcements or goings-on. I saw one comment in the Announcements history about an issue with one of the web servers but it was promptly removed. What's the story? RedWolf 04:26, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)
You asked for the source of some image. Here it is: http://www.savetibetonline.com/tib-geography.htm

Interested in climbing kili? Be sure to get a good guide. I climbed it in 1999 and had some trouble with a guide who didn't know the way (You need a guide by law to climb kili) I wrote up my story of it if youre interested: Kili Climbing Story Seabhcan 15:33, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Greetings! Saw your Kilimanjaro post on the user page. I was just wondering if you've made any plant to this end, and had any ideas on the timeframe and such for the climb? I'm most definitely interested, sounds like it would be fun. Metlin 12:22, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Ahhh, I climbed the cola route in '98 and have been longing to go back. I would love to try Rongai. Next summer might be possible. +sj + 10:54, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi, you did a 'dab' for Java on the 'West Papua' page last week; if you have time could you have a look at the content which 'Wik' is reverting out and give any feedback/ideas on the discussion page? I've tried talking with him but no go, I'm happy to backup all my content (mostly already backed up by indicated external links i think). Hope you have a great time on your trip later this year, all best.:)Daeron 03:33, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you like travelling, and you have IT skills, so I wondered if you might be interested in project I am starting with soem people from here, wikibooks, and wiktionary. Check my page and let me know what you think about it. Probably you are busy right now with your Kili project - good luck, want to try that later as well - but maybe later.

Many Thanx for your comments regarding the chronology. You have probably noticed that User:ScudLee and myself are in the process of trying to clean up the album pages, but this will probably take the next month to reduce the following lists Needs infobox and Incomplete infobox to a managable size. As I progress through these I will obviously revert any offending styles that I manage to notice, but obviously we are working on many articles that already have started/written. apologies for incorrect formatting. I'm still unsure about the inclusion of the recorded box on the template as unless you actually own the album, the requested details suggested on Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums are hard to find and if you do have them can lead to a very large box being required. I personally would suggest moving these to a ==Recording Details== heading in the article itself. This is the main omission from the boxes still requiring info. and will keep the list relatively long for some time.Scraggy4 18:53, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
re your comments about my Java link:
For a wretched example, see Mount Rainier. Mav and I came up with a potential solution (see Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Mountains), but we wanted to check with you before running around and changing lots of pages. What do you think? (Please respond on the Talk page, thanks!) --- hike395 02:54, 31 May 2004 (UTC)
I am starting Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climbing, I hope. Perhaps you might be interested?
I probably should have raised this when I saw you make Category:North American mountains, sorry. Doesn't it make more sense to put Category:Mountains of the United States, Category:Mountains of Canada, and Category:Mountains of Mexico as sub-categories of Category:North American mountains, rather than putting articles in both the country and the continent? This seems to be the general consensus about categories so far, as I understand it: don't put articles in multiple categories which are closely related and join up quickly in the tree. People are talking about automatically listing all articles that live beneath a point in the category tree. Now, they may be smoking dope, but the principle makes sense to me.
If you believe this, then perhaps Category:North American mountains is not that useful, because it would only have 3 sub-categories, so perhaps it should be dropped in favor of just the country categories?
I apologize again if this means wasted work --- I'm happy to do the grunt work to whatever we decide is correct.

Rather than your "Robot-assisted disambiguation: rock", it would perhaps be better to change rock music from a redirect to rock and roll, into a page about "mainstream" rock music, which seems to be the only type of rock & roll not covered on the aforesaid. Andy Mabbett 21:46, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Howdy. I noticed that you've updated Wikipedia:Offline reports/Is this really a stub? and wanted to ask if you used a Link Analysis Database, and if so did you experience any problems? I'd appreciate any feedback you have. - TB 10:48, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
Hi,
I noticed that you have recently been active in editing categories in the visual arts. Can I also encourage you to join the categorisation discussion at Category talk:Art -- Solipsist 22:33, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It's generally not polite to edit other people's comments in talk pages, even to (correctly) disambiguate. As an admin, you should know that. -- Jmabel 03:18, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
I've disambiguated English on my userpage, and thanks for being considerate and asking me rather than editing yourself. However, I wouldn't mind were you to disambiguate my userpage directly in the future. Andre 04:57, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Excerpt from the history of the page Latin peoples :)
Heh :) One of these days, the French people will get a page and we'll be able to put this aside... --Joy [shallot]
I happened to stumble over a changed linking you did on the article on Preventive war. It's probably no big deal, but you there changed German in the context of World War I to [[Germany|German]], that in my perception is equal to [[Federal Republic of Germany|German]]... Not quite perfect. ;->
I am not sure if I personally would have preferred a link to Imperial Germany, or if I think it's a superior solution to link to the brief list that clearly shows that the meaning of "Germany", and Germany itself, has morphed quite frequently after the Peace of Westphalia.
Anyway, I would appreciate if you shared your thoughts with me. I don't want to make you disturbed by unintentionally twarting your work. /Tuomas 05:25, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi mate, thanks ever so much for editing the Enigma edits that I made. The "English Language" hyperlinks are so much better now that they link to the English Language page of Wiki. Cheers mate, thanks. --Mart Owen 20:49, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi. I reverted that page because thumbnails generate smaller files that are downloaded, so using a large image thumbnailed is perfectly fine. Mintguy (T) 01:40, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The page was created by a hard banned user, User:Mr. Treason, and his contributions are reverted/deleted on sight at the moment. Since there's some suspicion that Mr. Treason might be Michael (Both edit from AOL frequently on music articles), there was the further danger of serious accuracy problems. If the article is all good, however, feel free to recreate it. It was just a case of better safe than sorry with hard banned users. Snowspinner 03:54, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)
It appears that several images you uploaded originally were placed under a noncommercial-use license and that you subsequently changed this to GFDL. However, some have not been updated in this fashion. Would you mind clarifying the license on those images, and if they are licensed under GFDL, could you indicate that by replacing the existing tags with the {{GFDL}} template?
The images that have not been updated are:
Thanks for taking the time to look into this. --Michael Snow 05:02, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution to one, or more, articles that are now organized under Data management.
Because of your previous intrest, you are recieving an invitation to become a founding member of the Data Management Wiki Committee.
The members, of course, will form and solidify the purpose, rules, officers, etc. but my idea (to kick things off) is to establish a group of us who will take responsiblity to see that the ideas of Data management are promoted and well represented in Wikipedia articles.
If you are willing to join the committee, please go to Category_talk:Data_management and indicate your acceptance of this invitation by placing your three tilde characters in the list.

Hi, RedWolf.. I'm back from Wikiholiday, but only at minimal level. I just happened to stumble across your fresh Wenatchee Mountains article start. The Stuart Range is great, one of my favorite ranges. But, to my mind, the Stuart Range is not part of the Wenatchee mountains, they are separated by Ingalls Creek. The 250K:1 topo map is ambiguous [1], peakbagger.com agrees with your definition [2]. I was wondering: do you have definitive source for what is in/out of the Wenatchee mountains?
I know I have a digital photo of Mount Stuart somewhere on a CD-ROM, I'll see if I can dig it up.
-- hike395 15:00, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hi RedWolf. Thanks for your message to me - I am sorry I forgot to disambiguate the Java link on my page...I am a new Wikipedian, as you have already noted from your first post. I am still getting used to Wiki, but it isn't too hard. If you spot any other mistakes on my contributions, please let me know. My email link on my page is active. Thanks.

Thanks for that; i discovered it pretty late in the game, but i think we slipped under the wire. I don't know abt satisfying the Disappointment Cleaver lk, either, and i was a little disappointed not to see "cleaver" in the index of Freedom of the Hills. I think i've got nothing to add w/o doing more serious research than i care to for now. --Jerzy(t) 05:44, 2004 Oct 19 (UTC)

Hi - A few weeks ago you updated this category to say "deprecated". Why deprecate rather than delete (via WP:CFD)? -- Rick Block 23:28, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I had just finished moving everything to Category:Macintosh computers and was just giving it some time for the "dust to settle". If you want to list it for deletion now, I don't have a problem with it. RedWolf 01:04, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
O Dear, I've just had a look at the discussion page for 'British' - what a tangle. I take it you were originally referring to the article on John Sullivan? His article describes him as a writer of BRITISH sitcoms, therefore - British. Remember - all the English are British, not all British are English (especially not those from Northern Ireland). 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' refers. Peter W 12:54, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Sorry about the goof-up at Made in Heaven; I completely forgot to list my reasoning. I've compared the current article with the way it looked when I tagged it 3 months ago, and the issues I had with NPOV have already been fixed. Thanks for jogging my memory. Joyous 22:45, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)
Sorry Red, you'll have to explain in more detail. I thought I was doing them OK Peter W 12:29, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
.. at Template:Infobox US Mountains, but I am having absolutely no luck calling the template (test page at User talk:Hike395/Infobox US Mountains). It's quite late for me (local time), I'm probably missing something obvious. If you have a minute, could you check it? Thanks!! -- hike395 07:40, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi, again. I've proposed a (scaled back) version of a templatized US Mountain infobox at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mountains/General#Template to cover part of infobox.. What do you think? Suggestions & feedback are welcome. -- hike395
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)[[]] 23:43, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)
Thanks for uploading these images:
I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know their copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release them under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks, Kbh3rd 04:11, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi Redwolf - thanks for the note; both are images which were incorrectly titled so I'd re-uploaded with the correct name. Image:Comm broom.jpg is an USDA photo, so I've tagged it as such; Image:Commonbroom.jpg never had a tag, you'll have to check with User:Dmsar who uploaded it under the incorrect name Image:Scotchbroom.jpg (this one can of course be deleted as a duplicate) - MPF 00:09, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Well, I did mention it was a Unicode glyph... but I think then it is copyrighted under the authors of the font (please confirm this). I am not so sure about usage issues with fonts... Dysprosia 00:19, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi, just writing to let you know that my user page is accurate--the work I did was in fact to the disambiguation page English (namely, cleaning links to it). I'd have no problem removing the mention, if there's some reason not to have links to English. Best, Meelar (talk) 21:41, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)
Howdy! thanks for adding Stanhope, England to the disambig page, maybe you would consider starting an article? Happy New Year to you! Pedant 18:01, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)
I'm not sure why I chose heavy metal instead of hard rock. All Music Guide lists them as both. After thinking about it, I agree that hard rock would be a more appropriate classification. I will make the changes. DCEdwards1966 04:51, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)
Oh. So I have to cite a source every time I upload a copyrighted image and claim fair use on it, eh? Sorry, I did not know that. Unfortunately, that is the only way I know how to get a decent representative image of the City of Vancouver, because I can't just go there any time to take my own photos of the city.
