WELL THANKS!

Thanks a lot for greatly expanding the Jimmy Launders aritcle. It's appreciated. Whsitchy 05:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, something tells me it's going to be hard too... who knows. (ps, don't forget to sign with ~~~~) Whsitchy 05:41, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Alright. I know I had the info box in originally, don't know what else. I made a submission to see if the quality level could be checked. Hope it gets bumped up. Kwsn^(Ni!) 03:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

deleted article

Always best, and easier, to write the article on a word processor first, then save to wikipedia. Nothings lost for ever though, I'll put the deleted text here in the next few minutes. Jimfbleak 09:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Launders

Good, maybe it can be B class soon. Kwsn^(Ni!) 18:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Josette Normandeau

A tag has been placed on Josette Normandeau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:04, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

X1/9 edits

Thank you for making a report about Kirrages (talk · contribs · block log) on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If they continue to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you!

It was most likely vandalism to a template that was included in the page. We've been having problems with a serial vandal, known as Zodiac who has been attacking our templates. Discussion here. Toddst1 (talk) 20:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Unref'd addition

Your edit changed the meaning of longstanding text without reference. Could you provide a source please? Thx, LeadSongDog (talk) 18:44, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. We avoid treating WP and other wikis as a reliable source, partly in order to prevent it becoming self referential. You have identified a discrepancy, but which article is in error? To answer that question, we go to the sources cited. Cheers,LeadSongDog (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

It works for me: clicking on edit links to the diff of your edit. On the left side is the "before", on the right side is the "after". Just below your name on the right is an arrow pointing to the section title "End of war". Clicking on that arrow takes you to the current version of that section. You can then click on "edit" beside the titel of that section to edit it.LeadSongDog (talk) 03:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, that's a useful link.LeadSongDog (talk) 17:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Myths & Havana

I would not categorize François Carlo Antommarchi's cast as a "myth" or "legend" with respect to Napoleon's Death Mask. There is no such historical certainty. I would categorize it at "controversial". One has to understand the motivations behind the "controversy". For example, the conquered French vs. the conquering British, profiteering, and fame could definitely be motivations to defame Dr. Antommarchi. It is likely that 2 casts where made. Then again, Antommarchi could have made up the story. But, we will never know for sure.

The "Museo Napoleonico de la Havana" does indeed have a cast of the mask, See François Carlo Antommarchi for a link to the museum and to their mask.

By the way, the Art Institute of Chicago does have a copy as well.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
