== A nickname ==

Hi. I like to call the users by their user name, but yours is so long (I've figured out it says "The requiem bell is here"), I need a nickname for you. I've been misprouncing it "There quiem bellishere" so would it be alright if I called you "There", or do you want something speciffic. --[[User:TimySmidge|TimySmidge]] 21:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)TimySmidge (you know me through the Harry Potter edits)

Re: Vandalising Anon

Hi. We tend to block only repeat offenders, rather than blocking for only single instances of vandalism. This makes our lives easier as some people decide to start making useful contributions after vandalising and being warned, and we have to deal with many more unblock requests – Gurch 06:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:KH minor characters

One of the criticisms of the article when I was improving it was that I was including every single character in the Jiminy Journal, even the stupid throwaway characters. In the end, I removed them because they really only broke up the flow of the article. You've taken hopelessly minor to another level, including the Mad Hatter and Rabbit, who only appeared in a picture frame and the like. That is why I removed them.

Blanking of User:Zimtheinva5er

Hello and welcome. I noted on the above you blanked the users main page as you accidentally applied the vandalism warning there. We really appreciate the anti-vandalism work you are doing, but if you make an edit please use the comment box to describe your actions. I went chasing thinking you were vandalsing another user's talk page!! Once again, thank you for your vandalism fighting. Keep it up!Pedro |  Talk  21:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Susie and Ned

Would you watch Ned's Declassified If Susie was not on the show? Why or why not? Dani preteen11 03:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I don't care, and please try to make new edits more visable. See my page's history to see the change. Therequiembellishere 03:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Professors

It's more important to show an accurate representation of the canon as it stands than to write 'in case someone dies' - which is crystalballing. If Professor Flitwick does die, we can rewrite all relevant articles to show that, but there is no need to orientate the articles around a hypothetical possibility that he might. Michael Sanders 12:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, I wasn't reverting your vandalism (it is not vandalism indeed), I was reverting an anonymous IP vandalism that edited just before you. It was unfortunate, sorry. Can you add back your edits? Thanks. --giandrea 20:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Except you should not remove the EU from the article. Please, see the consensus on the talk page. --giandrea 23:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Redirection of Brethren Court

Despite appearances, AfD closures are not arrived by through a simple tabulation of votes. Creating a new article to go around an AfD closure is not the right way to go about things - creating a near-duplicate which does not address any of the sourcing and notability concerns is definitely not the right way to go about things. I sympathize with your position, but Wikipedia (again, despite appearances) is not designed to function as fansite. There are other venues for entertaining exhaustively detailed character/plot summaries, here's a PotC Wiki. Think about it: the Brethren Court article was based entirely on speculation, it lacked any assertion of importance outside of the realm of a movie. And no, I don't have any special status on Wikipedia (adminship is more of a janitorial function), but I have some experience and a thorough knowledge of the guidelines. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 21:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Brethren of the Coast

{Also posted as a reply on my talk page, putting it here as well to make sure you see it) Actually, you already have access. Click on Brethren of the Coast. It will redirect you, as you would expect, but look close under the title of the page it redirects you to: there will be, in small print, the words "redirect from Brethren of the Coast", with the last part in blue. Click on that and it will take you back to the redirect page, Brethren of the Coast, without actually redirecting you. You can then click on the history link at the top of the screen and see the complete history. It looks like it goes back quite a ways. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: Brethren Coast

In case you didn't see this on my talk page: First off, thank your for your politeness - not many people bother to be polite anymore - thank you for your consideration. Secondly, very good question. As you may have noticed my official 'vote' was Strong Merge or Strong Redirect. I don't want the information deleted, but I'm not convinced it needs its own page. Sometimes it seems like Wikipedia covers fictional characters, events, locations, ideas, etc. more than it covers history and the world in which we actually live. Because of the historical existence of a loose organization of pirates in the Caribbean called the Brethren, I hate to see the real world topic confused with and obscured by a scene from a Disney film. Perhaps if we changed the title of the page to Brethren of the Coast (Pirates of the Caribbean) I would be happy. If you want me to elaborate more on this, please just let me know. Bradybd 05:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your screen/display resolution?

I noticed that you resized the images on List of minor characters in Pirates of the Caribbean article. Were the images (sized 200px) too big for your screen? - Davtra 08:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You should follow this policy

Quality, not quantity.This user believes that a user's edit count does not necessarily reflect on the value of their contributions to Wikipedia.

Please don't erase things from your user page. And sign your posts with four tildes. Love from sis.

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Katsav

FYI, Katsav officially resigned last friday and the resignation is in effect since Sunday. I therefore undid your edit to Template:Politics of Israel. Good day, DGtal 11:17, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking

Heya, I'm not admin and therefore can't block anyone. I recommend reverting vandalism and warning the offender up to 3 times, and then reporting them as per Wp:aiv after final warning. Good luck! -Superbeecat 20:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Estonia

OK, I suppose "wreck" was too harsh a term and I'm sorry I used it. However, the point remains that I'd like those distinctions kept, and if it's all right with you (which you said it is) I'll soon be re-adding them while preserving your format.

Let me make two further suggestions as you go through the templates: 1. One big flag if the flag's never changed; little flags only if it has. Flags aren't strictly necessary anyway, but this way we maintain some clarity, plus an excess of flags can look unappealing. 2. "[[Heads of state of X]] since XXXX" rather than "[[Heads of state of X since XXXX]]", because the linked list may refer to the former and not necessarily the latter. Biruitorul 06:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

When you change templates, remember to put <noinclude> before the listing of categories which include templates (like Category:Navigational templates) and </noinclude> afterwards. If you don't, it puts non-template articles into the template categories. Honestly, it creates a complete mess. So please be careful. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 10:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an example of what I mean. The changes you made are excellent but you gotta keep the noincludes in there. I fixed all of them that I could find. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 11:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. I think I made it sound like a bigger deal than it is. It's not that big of a deal. :) I know that it's confusing. If you look at my talk page, I actually did something similar recently. Anyway, as I said, keep at it. You made some very good edits. And we need as much help as we can get with templates, which tend to be ignored. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 23:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you enjoy contributing here and being a Catholic Project Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to discuss anything on the project talk page, or to leave a message on my own talk page. Please remember to sign all your comments, and be bold with your edits.

Re:Warning Messages

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Nat Tang ta | co | em 23:44, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Second Wizarding War

I have the code for the page, would you like me to email it to you, or ESkog? i said 23:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I'll email the page's code. However, you do not have an e-mail set for your account. You wrote one at ESkog's page, but it's good to have an email set so others can contact you. i said 00:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if you go to someones userpage, you can see on the side bar, under toolbox, an "E-mail this user" link. To do so, you must set an e-mail in your preferences. This way other users can email you. i said 00:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as you are the only one re-adding the other teachers: you are the only one that cares about it. I see NO ONE else re-adding it, so get over it. Wikipedia isn't a guide to every Harry Potter character. Just because the article has the word "minor" in it, doesn't make it a dumping ground for everything not suitable for the other articles. RobJ1981 04:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks. You can change it back, you know. Just click the undo button on all the edits that the user has made. I can't because I've reverted 3 times -- more would result in a 3RR violation. Thanks for noticing this, though... I couldn't work out what to do! Gscshoyru 18:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to do any but the last one he made!
Huh? In the history, there's a little "undo" thing next to his edits. The top four are the ones you need to revert, I think I reverted the others myself already. Just revert them all one at a time, it actually removes it from the article properly without affecting the other edits. Gscshoyru 18:34, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't get that you can do more than one with intermediate edits, but I see now. I used up mine, so I'm fixing the rest by hand Therequiembellishere 18:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
...Actually, all you are doing now counts as a single revert -- you're only changing it once, though you're reverting multiple edits. Plus it counts as a revert whether you change it by hand or by tool. So it doesn't matter. And thanks for fixing. Gscshoyru 18:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Really? Thank God you told me before I broke the rule somewhere else! Therequiembellishere 18:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Heh. And an admin can't really do anything, yet... but if you defend it once or twice more, then he'll be in violation of the 3RR, and we can report him. Or, he could try talking to us. That would be the much better solution. Gscshoyru 18:40, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-canonical spells in Harry Potter

Thanks for moving the page to your userspace. Do you think we could maybe get away with including these spells at the bottom of the regular spells page (assuming that one doesn't get deleted as well), or would we get in trouble from all the whining pissants?

Temper Tantrums

You need to dial back your temper, Thereq. An edit summary like that can get you blocked for uncivility by itself. If you come across an edit that you disagree with, take it to the editor in question or to the article discussion page. Uncivility and temper tantrums doesn't inspire any editor to work with or deal with you. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 03:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I presume you were referring to my User Talk Page. I think they aren't really a good barometer of judign my politness. True, I have difficulty suffering repetitive fools. However, I also communicate effectively with them instead of kicking their heads in via edit summary. My comment to you wasn't from a "master" to and "apprentice", it was from one editor to another. Take it as such instead of poking holes in the advice. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 17:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brunei

I would like to call it Sultanate of Brunei but the Library of Congress states that it is the State of Brunei Darussalam [1]. I am inclined to look for cited material to escape WP:OR. __earth (Talk) 05:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About the LOC, I shall refrain from commenting. But Darussalam does mean above of peace. If you are interested, Perak (Darul Ridzuan), Selangor (Darul Ehsan) as well as six other Malaysian states use the same convention. __earth (Talk) 14:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to WikiProject Musical Theatre!

Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list! Our goal is to make Wikipedia the foremost compendium of musical theatre to be found on the internet: hope you're up to the challenge! As a project member, you might like to add the project membership userbox to your user page.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and perhaps browse our page of useful templates. When you have a moment, please take some time to review the article structure for musicals, which, after months of collaboration, consensus has decided as the best structure for articles on musicals. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Project to do list and in our tasklist.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing!

Samoa

Well, I had the conversation but I didn't follow it up with a letter. If I don't hear soon, I will have to do that. At present we have the South Pacific Games starting in about a week and so everyone is rushing around busy with that, particularly the press secretary. It's the Pacific and things move slowly. However, my guess is that the answer is that the Head of State is an elected president and this makes Samoa a republic, if our only choice is between a republic and a monarchy. The reality is that the head of State will be appointed from one of the four main families here for some time to come and it will be intersting to see what happens when this one's five year term is up. My guess is he will be reappointed and will serve till he dies. Either that or the senior matai from one of the other families will be appointed. Either way, it will function more as an elected monarchy than a true republic. --CloudSurfer 04:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call


Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add {{User WP Harry Potter}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to follow it. I was always a little hesitant (as a former 4 Chan-ner, I've seen the damage personal info on the interwebs can do), but thought maybe this wasn't a huge threat on WP. It seems I was a little too optimistic. :) Cheers! Faithlessthewonderboy 01:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
