Wiktionary logos
I was waiting for conclusion to the debates, but none seem to be going anywhere, and the logo seems to have ~95% support in its current form. The Vietnamese logo is Image:WiktionaryViet.svg, and the favicon is Image:Wiktfavicon en.svg. I tried your suggestion of removing tilt from the tiles, but it them loses perspective and just looks like a brown square. I hope to try to upload must of the rest tommorow; I've got English, French, Korean and Japanese ready to roll. Laïka 22:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, thanks for pointing that out; I had updated the Korean language version, but forgot to update the English one. As the English one is used as a template for the others, all the other versions had the same error. I'm uploading the fixed versions now. Laïka 15:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
ONN
OK, your summary is fine, but the PR Watch material is copyrighted under an Open Source license too. So I don't see how I was pilfering anything (and obviously I linked right to it).
I reverted "has been accused of running" to "has run" because the Dispatch article below cites this VNR use has having happened, not as some off-the-wall accusation. That's pretty rock-solid since, of course, the Dispatch owns ONN. Pretty much an admission that this is the case, I'd say.
I appreciate your greater experience in editing than mine. Thanks for noticing the post. -John 16:43, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Greeting
Nguyen, I appreciated your contributions on wiki and I believe anyone on wiki feel the same. You can change the pages I created all you like and anyway you feel suitable. But don't negate the my meaning and put words in my mouth again. Other than that have a good one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maitran.us (talk • contribs) 18:43, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed your article on VNI, and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive article. I've made a lot of changes to your article, mostly to fix grammar or spelling issues. Wikipedia has a rather lengthy set of style guidelines for articles, but I realize you might not have had the time to read through it yet, so I tried to make the article conform to those standards. (The links to VNI's website, for example, go in the "External links" section at the bottom.) I also added links to Wikipedia's many articles on computing throughout the article text.
There are a lot of things for new contributors to learn at Wikipedia, so if you have any questions about why I changed a certain part of the article, or any questions about Wikipedia in general, feel free to leave a note on my talk page, and I'll try to help you out. Have a good day!

Need help with article United Dairy Farmers
Hi,
I noticed you as the last non-anonymous contributor to the article United_Dairy_Farmers. I marked the current version as NPOV and disputable, for what I consider obvious reasons. As I do not know about the truth of the assertions which I mentioned on the corresponding talk page, a "correction" was, IMHO, not possible for me. Maybe you could have a look? --217.91.92.94 12:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Minh
You left a comment on my talk page about my flagging of ZoomTown as 'disgruntled' - . I've just checked the page history, and it looks like the version you wrote had been substantially changed by another user when I added the inappropriate change flag.
the version you wrote, which differs from version that I flagged. the diff.

"India" Interwiki list
Hi Mxn!
I see that you have updated the interwiki list for the article "India" to 186. I would like to clarify that the following interwiki list is consisted mainly of spammed pages and were mostly deleted afterwards. However, some of those interwiki links have not yet been removed from the India page. (Actually they were removed several times already, however some Indian nationalist has placed it back there again. --Jose77 07:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale
The template {{fair use in}} you added for Image:RCTV 2007.JPG is "not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.", this says the text on the template itself. Could you maybe provide a rationale? Maybe this template {{non-free media rationale}} can be helpful to you. – Ilse@ 09:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I got confused when it said "blanked". Thinking it meant you blanked the page. Please forgive me then and thank you for removing the rude comment on the Sandbox.Cheers!--Jupiter12 05:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Vietnam WikiProject
I am told you might be interested in a separate WikiProject for Vietnam, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Southeast Asia, I have posted the proposal at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Vietnam_WikiProject Chris 04:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for joining the project! There is a discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Proposals/2007/August#.7B.7BCincinnati-stub.7D.7D concerning a request for a {{Cincinnati-stub}} for our project that you may be interested in adding your vote or ideas at. Also, there are new tasks added to the Open tasks section of the project page that may be of interest. I look forward to working with you as the project grows! (Mind meal 04:45, 7 August 2007 (UTC))
- Another request. There is a discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_August_11#Category:Physicians_from_Cincinnati that if implemented will make way for the deletion of all profession-based entires at Category:People from Cincinnati. Your input would be appreciated. (Mind meal 16:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC))

I know he graduated in 2003, because I graduated from St. X in 2003 and he graduated with me. I don't know if that helps, but I too can't find anything online that says that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.240.122.81 (talk • contribs) 15:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
I actually do have a 2002-2003 yearbook, and he's in it, i don't know exactly how you'd reference a yearbook though. 63.240.122.81 18:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Elder High School
Very kind of you to make the additions to the Elder High School page. Mfields1 00:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Xavier High Schools
I am responding to your note on the St. Xavier High School dab page since I am the one who removed the divisions from the India list. I agree with you that the list is less useful now, but I'm actually working on improving all the St. Francis related school pages and the dab pages were a mess. I would love your opinion on what to do with this one. It has FAR too many redlinks to be a good disambiguation page, but I am hesitant to remove them since someone obviously did a lot of work to assemble the information. It seems like with this content it should be a "list" rather than a dab page. What do you think about my changing this page into an article, and making a new dab page with blue links only? Or is there a better way to handle it? I guess the assumption is that there will someday be an article about every school in the world, but I'm not sure how long that might take!

- Oooh, what a fabulous idea! I feel much better about that. I had to give up last night, but I'll work on it today sometime. I didn't know if there was some notability criteria for schools that I was unaware of, but it seems out of place for what's expected on a dab page. Thanks for your help! SlackerMom 13:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey there! I see that you did some page moving and re-redirecting on the many related St. Xavier pages. It mostly looks good, but I have one disagreement. I think Saint Xavier should be a redirect to the St. Xavier (disambiguation) rather than to St. Francis Xavier. (And the example you cite about St. Xavier should be the same.) Consider this: a user types in "Saint Xavier" looking for a school by this name. To find it, he must follow three links: 1-hatnote on main article, 2-"See also" link on dab page to the next (correct) dab page, and 3-link to correct article. OK, so what if we change the redirect to take him directly to St. Xavier (disambiguation), but he's really looking for the saint, not a school? He can get to St. Francis Xavier with one link from the intro line. To me, one link is better than three when disambiguating. What do you think? If you have no strong objections, I will change the redirects and put a note on the related talk pages explaining the connections between these articles and dab pages. They are all interrelated, which makes them a bit complex, and I think a good talk page explanation will help future editors. SlackerMom (talk) 13:20, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Elder High School
I really want to thank you for watching the Elder High School page for us, I have sometimes watched the St. X page to correct drive by vandalism there. I also watch a lot of the Cincinnati area high school pages for this. You are a good editor, and represent the best of what I would expect of the quality of persons from St. Xavier. Keep up the good work. Mfields1 21:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Ahoy! While nearly all of the OSRs I deleted had little to no content, this one clearly more than the others, and I apologize for deleting it. I have restored it in full. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 11:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Nguyễn Mạnh Tường
HI Minh.Could you translate Nguyễn Mạnh Tường from Vietnamese wikipedia? Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 16:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I love south east Asia anyway but I hope don't mind that I have gone through many of the provinces and towns of Vietnam and addedd the expand or unreferenced tags. They need a tremendous amount of qwork don't they!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 16:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
