All i am trying to do.. is to REDIRECT the exact NZ title .. of the named gentleman (mY own Great Grandad).. to that of "just" (THAT_OF) ? his original birth name.
Which -- unless people KNEW the one as (just) "David Cossgrove" ..? Then they wouldn't KNOW what his given basic baby name was.. ? .. as MANY articles in NZ simply refer to either: Lieutenant Cossgrove
Or to Lieutenant Colonel Cossgrove.
Or.. if used correctly .. (on his FULL TITLE)..
Lieutenant Colonel David Cossgrove (DSO)
Or .. some may even JUST find mention of him .. via the old artivles he used to "write" for the ODT 9Otago Daily Times Newspaper) when he was in Sandymount.
When he "penned" his written notes as "Uncle Dave" (or Uncle David).
Thus?
Wikipedia ONLY has a specific 'fixed" page -- of ?
DAVID COSSGROVE (?)
Which (obviously) does nothing .. when someone in NZ -- types in his "formal" OFFICIAL TITLE..
Lieutenant Colonel David Cossgrove (DSO)
(& not just a baptised "simple_name" - that could in fact .. JUST - / mean anyone..)
Oh & check it out.
FACEBOOK (a page or two - I put there)
Tripello . Xanga.com ..
MUCH MORE INFO -- and a picture --
With the info -- being that - which WIKIPEDIA "does NOT have".
(Family Info & alo that of the Christchurch's Bromley Cemetary's - EXACT burial plot details)
Plus... A video -- just about to go "live' on YOUTUBE..
And..
Well ? How many photos can I upload .. ? when I eventually delve into & through
ALL of the Gand-daughters Photo albums.. (of her Grandparents)
Or-- should i preferrably state .. how many-- of MY GREAT GRANDPARENTS PHOTOS.. can I "obtain" from my family..
Seeing as I "actually" have -- my "late" Mum's entire photographic collection.
;-)
Oh & I don't care .. if u wana plonk a snarkie comment or ten here.. as ? after all -- i do make a halfway decent decagonophonic analogue sutound sound system .. so ?
Lets hear the sound of a snarky?.?
Oops.. I almost got one as I almost forgot the tildes" QUIX4U (talk) 16:46, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Oh & p.s.. I have "also" put several picturwes on Wikimedia Tractors.. via the Mitsubuishi Delica Pickup trucks..
(namely the entire Delica range) .. of which -- in NZ
I "myself" have personally & via my NZ Company - owned at least FIVE -- Being the 3 Colt T120 HSR Cab/chassis wide body trucks (& I still use one),
Plus the two vans -- one is my current 4WD 1996 Delica L300 "starwagon"
..
PLUS .. Several pictyues of the extremely rare Service (Engine, Workshop panel & chassis worksop) manuals ..
Also SPECS pages too.
All for the 1977 - 78 generic Van ute pickup & minicoach variants.. for the T-120 series with the 4G4 & 4G41 "Neptune" motors
Plus... M=Nothing stops a stubborn 9also often snarky) kiwi inventor.. from gifting the world..
Information it needs but does NOT have.
Thus -- when i originally came here.. I used a NON_DE PLUME .. specific to my "town" in NZ-- Roxburgh.
It's a wee ruaral town - south of the 45th parralel .. almsot bang smack midway -- between not only Queenstown & EDunedin .. but almost exactly midway -- between Oamaru & Invercargill.
Thus -- when slamm dunked by some bot "fly" electronic whizzbang thing here .. as a puttet's sock .. for asome titanic oceaned thing.. I was "to say the leat" not very impressed.
However.. QUIX4U - is my easily verified NZ Company trademark .. thus my "hometown" of Roxburgh . can also easily be "now" verifiesd too-- so?
GUESS WHOM IS STILL BALCKLISTED .. as a no-body?
Huh?
snarkie hasn't anything on the word i use.

Oh - and do U like" my photograph of (my) great grandad .. with his gongs.
(or) as my Mum told me .. of the question she herself asked her grandmother .. Selina.. ? Why' grandad get a medal .. for having his doodle shot off? when as a little girl .. she had seen the photo and mention of the DSO.? and asked - what to her .. was a very important simply explained question.
She told me -- that Sleina laughed so hard.. shwe couldn't bring herself to reprimand my mum .. for using ? not very polite language()

Hi Reaper. I had a request.

Can I please request you to kindly leave a clarification about whom you were referring to? It'll allow editors to be clear who your statement referred to. Thanks.

Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate
Greetings,
My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.
I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
Thank-you,
John-Paul Mcvea

News and progress from RfA reform 2011
RfA reform: ...and what you can do now.
|
|---|

(You are receiving this message because you are either a task force member, or you have contributed to recent discussions on any of these pages.) The number of nominations continues to nosedive seriously, according to these monthly figures. We know why this is, and if the trend continues our reserve of active admins will soon be underwater. Wikipedia now needs suitable editors to come forward. This can only be achieved either through changes to the current system, a radical alternative, or by fiat from elsewhere. A lot of work is constantly being done behind the scenes by the coordinators and task force members, such as monitoring the talk pages, discussing new ideas, organising the project pages, researching statistics and keeping them up to date. You'll also see for example that we have recently made tables to compare how other Wikipedias choose their sysops, and some tools have been developed to more closely examine !voters' habits. The purpose of WP:RFA2011 is to focus attention on specific issues of our admin selection process and to develop RfC proposals for solutions to improve them. For this, we have organised the project into dedicated sections each with their own discussion pages. It is important to understand that all Wikipedia policy changes take a long time to implement whether or not the discussions appear to be active - getting the proposals right before offering them for discussion by the broader community is crucial to the success of any RfC. Consider keeping the pages and their talk pages on your watchlist; do check out older threads before starting a new one on topics that have been discussed already, and if you start a new thread, please revisit it regularly to follow up on new comments. The object of WP:RFA2011 is not to make it either easier or harder to become an admin - those criteria are set by those who !vote at each RfA. By providing a unique venue for developing ideas for change independent of the general discussion at WT:RFA, the project has two clearly defined goals:
The fastest way is through improvement to the current system. Workspace is however also available within the project pages to suggest and discuss ideas that are not strictly within the remit of this project. Users are invited to make use of these pages where they will offer maximum exposure to the broader community, rather than individual projects in user space. We already know what's wrong with RfA - let's not clutter the project with perennial chat. RFA2011 is now ready to propose some of the elements of reform, and all the task force needs to do now is to pre-draft those proposals in the project's workspace, agree on the wording, and then offer them for central discussion where the entire Wikipedia community will be more than welcome to express their opinions in order to build consensus. New tool Check your RfA !voting history! Since the editors' RfA !vote counter at X!-Tools has been down for a long while, we now have a new RfA Vote Counter to replace it. A significant improvement on the former tool, it provides a a complete breakdown of an editor's RfA votes, together with an analysis of the participant's voting pattern. Are you ready to help? Although the main engine of RFA2011 is its task force, constructive comments from any editors are always welcome on the project's various talk pages. The main reasons why WT:RfA was never successful in getting anything done are that threads on different aspects of RfA are all mixed together, and are then archived where nobody remembers them and where they are hard to find - the same is true of ad hoc threads on the founder's talk page. |

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on September 29, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 29, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Cirrus clouds are atmospheric clouds characterized by thin, wispy strands, often bunched into tufts. They range in color from white to a faint gray and form when water vapor undergoes deposition at altitudes above 5,000 m (16,500 ft) in temperate regions and above 6,100 m (20,000 ft) in tropical regions. They also form from the outflow of tropical cyclones or the anvils of cumulonimbus clouds. Since these cirrus clouds arrive in advance of the frontal system or tropical cyclone, it indicates that the weather conditions may soon deteriorate. While they indicate the arrival of precipitation, cirrus clouds themselves produce only fall streaks (falling ice crystals that evaporate before landing on the ground). Jet stream-powered cirrus clouds can grow long enough to stretch across continents, but they remain only a few kilometers deep. When visible light interacts with the ice crystals in cirrus clouds, it produces glories, sundogs, and fire rainbows. Cirrus clouds raise the temperature of the air beneath them by an average of 10 °C (18 °F). (more...)

added tiltplane to list of tailsitter aircraft
Hi Reaper Eternal,
Tiltplane (tailsitter) was been listed under VTOL aircraft many months ago. Good. I tried a couple of times recently to write an article that one could get to by clicking on Tiltplane, but my efforts were rejected. Perhaps you are in a position to look them what I submitted and advise me as to how I need to change my approach in order to get an explanation of what a tiltplane is accepted. (See tiltplane.com.)
I expect that I probably sounded like an advocate for tiltplanes. I guess it is hard to be an originator of a concept and then to write about it in an unbiased manner. Is that the problem here? Or was it that my proposed article was too short?

I am very sorry to hear that you are feeling blue. It's important to keep perspective. You might consider making a list of all the great things you have accomplished here, just by looking over your talk page, and collecting all the positive feedback you have received from grateful WP editors!

Could you let me know why you have deleted the page on Ken Sykora:
14:36, 28 July 2011 Reaper Eternal (talk | contribs) deleted "Ken Sykora" (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement)
I have been advised by the Ken Sykora Estate that the article was written by Mike Shaw, work colleague of Ken Sykora and long term friend of the family. So they do not understand why the page could have been deleted for copyright infrigement.
Please advise

GOCE drive newsletter
Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
 The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |
