Foreigner universe = Alliance-Union universe?

Hi Bo-Lingua, I know you and Fairsing were engaged in this debate earlier this year. Well, if you haven't already seen it, it's resurfaced again here, along with a general discussion on the scope of the A-U. --Bruce1ee 05:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, for the time being I've listed it on the WP:WHITELIST, it should be fine for now. There is discussion going on at WT:WPSPAM about this. Feel free to hop in. —— Eagle101 Need help? 00:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Moho

edit

I deleted the recent page on moho because it looked more like a justification of a neologism than an actual article, which made me suspect its veracity. If you can provide secondary sources for the term's usage outside of a circle of few friends, though, I won't protest the re-creation of a more encyclopaedic article for the term. Regards, --Fire Star 火星 14:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I see. The disambiguation page is good. If you can get us a citation to a book, television story, newspaper or magazine article that references the term, that would be great. Cheers. --Fire Star 火星 14:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
As far as I understand it from a cursory exploration it's in growing usage among those who identify both traits, but also, and maybe predominantly within a blog-circle. I googled the original contributor's name along with "moho" and found this article. I'm not sure how wide the circle is; it may be a small circle of friends. All the same, we can leave the disambig definition to at least prevent an edit war with Samanthastevens (I suspect this might be her only edit). Bo-Lingua 14:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
That article is a good start. I'll undelete the original article then, and add the citation. --Fire Star 火星 14:54, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ill bethisad logo.png)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Ill bethisad logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I need some help translating this into English

edit

I saw that you are a translator on the French Translation page... I need some help translating the following letter into English. It was written by General Pulaski, while traveling to find food for the starving soldiers at Valley Forge. I know it's an inconvenience to ask you to do this, but I would very much appreciate it. If you don't have time though, I understand. Thanks.

Translation no longer necessary... sorry for any inconvenience

edit

I'm just writing to tell you that I no longer need the translation. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. As a precaution, I asked several people listed on the French translation page to help me with the letter. Today I checked, and several people have sent me the translations or are in the process of translating them. I've been trying for several weeks to find a translator (first on myspace, which was hardly any help at all, then on wikipedia, which I must say has been more helpful). I hope in the future you would still be willing to help with translations. There are several letters from Lafayette that I cannot understand. But it may be some time before I need them.

Thanks again.

ps I was watching C-SPAN today, and was quite surprised to learn that after all these years, Pulaski may be made an honorary citizen.

Failed States Index gif

edit

Hi BoLingua. I saw that you created the looping gif for the Failed States Index. I was wondering if you could create a new gif that would have the 2010 map that I created. Or could you please tell me how to create the looping picture. If you could reply soon, I really appreciate it. いただき (talk) 15:53, 29 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Shows how infrequently I log on - I can include that in an update, possibly. I just used Photoshop's Image Ready that lets me create GIFs. Bo-Lingua (talk) 21:54, 27 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:37, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
