BLP

Thanks. Good idea. I don't necessarily have a concern about bias per se - merely putting the template there for the use of less experienced editors. I think both Pell and Kirby's articles are ok. Perhaps we could have a section on the main tenets of Kirby's judicial philosophy, and the tenets of Pell's conservatism. Perhaps also the response from Milne to Pell's comments, or a linking of Pell's comments to those made by perhaps the Sydney Institute or some other think tank the Cardinal has spoken at. Overall, you're doing a great job! Jpeob 02:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forms of Nonmonogamy?

Looks like I've cause problems by suggesting a rename of the Poly relationships article. Sorry about that. I've been thinking, though, what about Responsible nonmonogamy or Forms of responsible nonmonogamy as a title? The etymology is probably uncertain, but there are at least a few verifiable sources that use the term:

We might be able to dig up even better references as time goes on. I think an article dealing with forms of responsible nonmonogamy could omit infidelity (as irresponsible) and protect the article from being merged with relationships in general (i.e., there's a verifiable concept called responsible nonmonogamy). What do you think? Kelly 21:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great work!

Anno-Dracula series

I see you added the name Geneviève Dieudonné to this article. Are you sure this is the name of the heroine in these novels? I know it is the name of his vampire character in the Warhammer Fantasy novels, Drachenfels, Genevieve Undead and the rest of that series, but is it really the same name in this totally unconnected series? Ben W Bell talk 12:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, I haven't read them personally. I just wasn't sure about it is all the reason I asked. Keep up the good work. Ben W Bell talk 14:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many Apologies

I reverted your addition to the Christopher Lee page in error. When I went to IMDb I only looked for films with 1969 as their release year and, thus, missed the fact that your citation was just a few places away from what I was looking at. I apologize for not being more thorough, and I am also glad that you went back and found the right source to cite on your edit summary line. Again many apologies.MarnetteD | Talk 08:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OPFOR

Leave the "enemy forces" out, please. The article is about OPPOSING FORCES (or OPFOR). I have served as an OPFOR/OC evaluator for several years, and also on OPFOR teams for several years. There is no reference to OPFOR as "Enemy Forces". The term OPFOR is US-centric and, thus, the article is allowed to have US focus (as other articles, such as executive car can have a Euro-centric focus). Also, the MILES system is used in many countries, thus, does not need a "US" designation. I added more info for "US Army" installations and such, but again - leave out the "enemy forces" designation. Trust me, I am speaking from many years of direct experience that this term has no meaning or usage here. Thank you. Rarelibra 14:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutality of articles

I have now added my reasons to the talk pages of the two articles that i added the NPOV tags too. Thanks for the heads up i will explain all tags that I add in the future.--Lucy-marie 18:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Heffernan and NPOV

Hi there, I sympathise with your views on NPOV. Nonetheless, NPOV does not exclude partisan opinion - it simply provides that all significant points ov views should be represented. I've changed the phrasing of the sentence, and I believe the present form is fully backed up by the links cited.

Anyway, in case it wasn't clear, I added the statement not as to indicate that he is an unethical politician, but that he is widely seen to be one. As can be glimpsed from the sources cited, he is often the first example people cite when they talk about unethical politicians, which I think is quite notable by itself. --Sumple (Talk) 23:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if this is in any way an inconveniance to you. Your help is very much apreciated.--Lucy-marie 23:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forms of nonmonogamy

Did you actually mean to put the link to polyemmory back in? [1] Mdwh 02:00, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank you for the welcome and the tips last week! Life took over, unfortunately, or I would have responded sooner... Wikipedia is exciting! I'm still planning to edit the Sackville-West article and hope to get to it sometime this weekend... (I hope I've posted this message correctly.)

A request for assistance

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 02:50 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Warhammer

You have shortend the artikel of Warhammer. Where would you write about the Warhammer universe, witch is apropriat vor both the Warhammer Fantasy Universum and the Warhammer 40K Universum, like that it was once one and that at a later time it was decided to cut the links? Also the Warhammer Universe is not just represented by Warhammer Fantasy Battles, which is only one game of Games Workshop, that is found in the Warhammer Fantasy Universum. I think a site of the Warhammer Universum is needed. I only have made an opening with the side, but I planned to develope the side to more, and moving content from the two Warhammer sites to this side, because there are a lot of things that doesn't belong there, because the two Warhammer sites are only the sites to two games, as there decribed.

Also I wanted to make clear with that Warhammer is a copyright of Games Workshop. The medieval weapon is writen war hammer. Only for misunderstandings, I have left the link to the weapon. What do you think?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Projekt2501 (de) (talk • contribs).

MartinBot bug

Hi - thanks for reporting the error - it will be looked into at the weekend. Seeing that, I get the feeling that people are reverting vandalism after the finds the vandalism, but before it reverts properly. I'm not too sure, but will put a possible fix into the code soon.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Xxxenophile02.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Xxxenophile02.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Non-monogamy

Calair, I proposed deletion of an entry you created called Non-monogamy. This term is not even a neologism. The idea that all non-monogamous marital practices ought to be categorized together under one umbrella terms is original research. If you object remove the tag, but I will take it to AfD at that point unless you show the notability of this concept. Regards.Griswaldo (talk) 12:16, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ghost Ship Captain's Log

I'm thankful for people like you on Wikipedia. However, *oink*, even though I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment, your last update reads like the last log entry found on the captain's log of a ghost ship... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.164.8.107 (talk) 22:48, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, and thanks for the kind words! I'm not dead or anything, but for privacy reasons I've pretty much retired this account - I wanted to edit articles that relate to my work, without having that linked to my edits on sexuality etc, so I created a separate account for that purpose and it now takes up most of my Wiki time. --Calair (talk) 23:05, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
