Hi. I noticed you changed "U.S. Government–sponsored" to "U.S. Government-sponsored" in EELV. The ndash in this context was not arbitrary.. see Ndash#En_dash, specifically "pre–World War II", etc.. —Fleminra 02:33, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

Acknowledged.

Hey... same comment.. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. I would prefer that not all dashes be assimilated.. thanks.. —Fleminra 16:35, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)

We will comply.

Question

Why do you go through articles modifying the interanguage links? It looks to me as if you are converting them from pure Unicode to ASCII. Either way, can you please provide an edit summary? I know your edits are minor, but even minor edits sometimes require explanation. Oleg Alexandrov 02:00, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

State which edits in which articles should have an edit summary.

UNICODE as HTML entities breaks less easily than UTF-8 during edits.

He-he, it seems you took it too seriously. :) I meant to say, no article in which you converted UNICODE to HTMLized unicode have edit summary. I had a hard time understanding why you do that conversiont, and an edit summary would have helped, but now you explained so I am happy.

I think you better first argue your point about UNICODE as HTML entities in some forum rather than converting the interlanguage links without discussion. This because you have an entire army of bots which will convert your changes back to true Unicode when they make interlanguage links. Oleg Alexandrov 01:17, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

We will adapt.

Dear hive-mind, access the my preferences -> Editing -> Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary subroutine and set the value to true. This will improve efficiency. It will also make resisting edit summaries more futile. End transmission. --Brad Beattie (talk) 02:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

We aim for perfection.

Thank you for your correction. It is appreaciated. Feel Free to follow me around and correct my error prone ways. --Artoftransformation 16:41, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Commons e-mail

If you are the person who sent me an e-mail via Commons, the return-to address (wikiborg AT sics SE) doesn't work.--Eloquence* 15:15, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Your analysis is correct. The ISP has made a mistake.

We have created a new Return-To: address to route around the problem.

Your distinctiveness will be added to our own. Cwolfsheep 01:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Good catch

Good catch on general semantics vs general semantics in the Robert Anton Wilson article. Maybe I was led astray by a "caps" problem; I could have sworn I tried it and there was no active link to a "general semantics" page. Rosencomet 22:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

An RfC that you may be interested in...

As one of the previous contributors to {{Infobox film}} or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!

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.
