WikiProject Dacia

Hi! From your edits, it looks like you might be interested in ancient Dacia. Would you like to join the WikiProject Dacia? It is a project aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to these topics. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Your input is welcomed! Thanks and best regards!

--Codrin.B (talk) 03:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks for the invitation but I did the edits on the Dacian Draco article following a request at the GOCE Requests Page rather than from any specific interest in the topic. That said, please feel free to post any further requests for copyedits at that page and someone will respond. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 03:50, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I see. Makes sense. And thanks sooo much! We could use some members that could help us with English and copy-editing. Best regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 03:56, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Another thought, it would be great to continue the trend and get the article to WP:GOOD now after DYK. I'm fairly new to this, but in my mind a great start would be a neutral reviewer checking it against the criteria for B-Class status and updating the findings in the WP Dacia tag on Dacian Draco's talk page (b1 through b5 items). Is your guild the right place for this? Thanks a lot and best regards! --Codrin.B (talk) 23:15, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

The Guild of Copyeditors just does copyediting. If you want to submit an article for WP:GA review have a look here. Alternatively, you can submit articles for Peer Review — you can find the instructions here. Good luck! Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 23:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for reverting my edit. I was trying to add the artwork for their upcoming album (the artwork has been released), but I ended up doing it wrong, not knowing where to put it. I attempted to revert my edit myself, but it added an image that hadn't been there before, so I gave up, knowing that it would be reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.159.18.64 (talk) 21:31, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

You are welcome but please create a sandbox if you want to play around with the wiki meta-language. Otherwise, things get screwed up as they did in this case. Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 22:17, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Federation of Stoke-on-Trent copyedit

This is great work. I'm very impressed. Apterygial ^talk 05:32, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Why thank you! It's alway nice to get positive feedback. If you come across any GA/FA candidate articles that could benefit from a copyedit please post a request here. Thanks again for the kind words. Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 05:40, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Livonian War C/E

(Not really a reply to your post on my talk page.) Thanks for that, hopefully it'll be enough to satisfy A-class reviewers. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 09:58, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Utopian language

Why did you revert my changes to this article? All I did was make the poem and its translations coherent! Cgboeree (talk) 21:41, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake - it looked like you added "Bargol he maglomi baccan ſoma gymnoſophaon.
Agrama gymnoſophon labarem bacha bodamilomin.
Voluala barchin heman la lauoluola dramme pagloni." which is the type of jibberish vandals often insert. In this case .... Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 21:46, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Ratchet and Clank edit

Sorry to bother you, why exactly did you edit my contribution to the 'Sasha' post. All the information I changed is truthful, I'd know because I have all the Ratchet and Crank video games. Next time you 'edit' some information, make sure that the information you're 'editing' is false. If you desire proof of the facts I've stated, I'll be happy to show you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.106.135.147 (talk) 23:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

No bother, but I think you must have the wrong editor as my username does not appear in the Ratchet and Clank edit history. As I revert hundreds of edits everyday it's hard to remember every one but I think a name like "Ratchet & Clank" would have lodged somewhere in my brain and I don't remember reverting it. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 23:18, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in. It was List of Ratchet & Clank characters, and although reverted without edit summary, it was an unconstructive edit because it was carelessly stuck next to another sentence with no space, was grammatically incomprehensible, and unsourced. Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Anna, I don't revert without a good reason and it seems there were several in this case. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 23:57, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

You're most welcome. I think you are a careful vandal-fighter. You were right to revert in this case. Don't worry about mistakes. I've made plenty. It happens.

Nice to see you doing such a lot of anti-vandal work. I notice that you've been getting cursed at on your talk page. That means you're doing something right. :) By the way, do you know how to use GIMP? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I think it's necessary but it does get a bit boring sometimes removing "...is gay" from countless articles. Occasionally, some vandalism is actually funny but it's still vandalism. As for GIMP, you mean the Photoshop clone? Yes, I do know how to use it. ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 00:17, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

New Hainan map

I just emailed you a preview of the topomap for Hainan. I'm waiting for it to be uploade. I've added some roads and cities, etc. If you want versions ranging from only roads, to a few cities, to nearly the current version, let me know and I will email them to you. This was my first experiment with GIMP. Not perfect, but probably helpful to visitors. If you spot any serious errors or omissions, please let me know.

Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:13, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look later. Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 00:19, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Map looks good with the following comments:

text is hard to read against the background - change from black
airport symbol is too small and not colourful enough - Sanya Phoenix is barely visible.
Couple of major towns missing - Danzhou and Wuzhishan for starters. Maybe it should feature the 18 county capitals.
They have good back bacon in RT Mart.

Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 03:52, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I will add those. If you would like to give it a shot, I can skype you the master bmp files at various stages, plus the round dots.

I couldn't find the exact location for Wuzhi city. I made the airport symbol small so as not to be larger than the city symbol, but can still make it larger. Love the GIMP. Keep it in a trunk. Would love an IRC chat with you to help with the steps for layers and transparency tracing, if you are so inclined.

RT also has rats. Rogers has smoked salmon sides for 150. Nice. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:00, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I've emailed you a shiny new airport symbol which you can resize to your requirement. When I get the chance to drop in on IRC I will. Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 07:52, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Stamkos is Greek

He's Greek, from the province of Macedonia, which has nothing to do with the Slavic Macedonia Country. Just as Stamkos is a Greek last name, and not a slavic one. 70.29.35.219 (talk) 02:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

I know this is a sensitive topic but he is cited by the reference as Macedonian. Best, ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 02:13, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

edits

This entry has very biased wording and not all of the reference links take you to working sites or sites that are legitimate to prove that reference. It needs to be much more neutral and have legitimate links as references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.107.93.74 (talk) 03:10, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

The information you deleted from USANA Health Sciences has a working reliable reference. If you want to improve the article go ahead and do so rather than just deleting content. ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 03:17, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Hainan Yellow Lantern Chili

Is the Scotch bonnet-looking chili pepper commonly found in Haikou actually the Hainan Yellow Lantern Chili? If so, I will take a nice photo for the article. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:18, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Indeed it is. As a local though, I would say that the Scotch Bonnet is a Hainan Lantern pepper lookalike :) Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 03:21, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Very well. I will take a photo. I would like to point out, however, that the image in the Hainan Yellow Lantern Chili article shows a rather longer pepper, whereas the ones that I see in the market are quite stout, with seemingly more well-defined vertical indented lines. Is it possible that the current article image is inaccurate? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:28, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Basically it's a crap picture that I added. If you look at one of the small bottles of yellow Chilli sauce you'll see which one it is. Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 03:32, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay. It must be the same then. The bottles, (I guess you mean the ones with with no labels that contain way too much salt), are sold along side the peppers. Great. I will take the picture. I always thought those were the SB peppers. Lovely. Thanks.

The new topomap image is now at the Hainan article. Feedback me!! Backfeed me!!! Feed me back bacon!! Mmmmmmm, back bacon. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:43, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

1st Airlanding Brigade (United Kingdom)

Thanks for the copy edit - I have no problem what so ever with the changes. Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:55, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. The glider pilot I mentioned took part in two out of the three operations (Sicily excluded) in the article so I have an affiliation with the topic which is always nice. Best ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 08:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Hollingworth Magniac

On 19 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hollingworth Magniac, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Hollingworth Magniac had business relationships with William Jardine and James Matheson, whose Jardine Matheson and Company partnership became Asia's largest trading company? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Why did you delete?

I made an addition to Holy Week that was deleted. Why? It was pertinent to the subject as it is a reconstruction of Holy Week that has no inter-Gospel contradtictions or ambiguities. Please use personal email marknystedt@yahoo.com as I am not familiar with wiki-chat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.69.193 (talk) 18:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

What I deleted was the text "WHY DID YOU DELETE MY ADDITION?", which you added at the bottom of the lead section. That is vandalism. If you have comments to make they should be added to the article's talk page or on the talk page of the editor concerned. ► Philg88 ◄ ^talk 21:15, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

RAF Northolt

Just wanted to say thank you properly for the copy edits you have completed on RAF Northolt. It looks much better! Harrison49 (talk) 10:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
