[edit] Interwiki Links - German Names

I would be glad to help you with research on German names. What sort of work do you need done? Thank you for approaching me with idea; I hope I can be of service to you and the project. Nomenphile 03:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know

Hello, Rigadoun! I've replied your suggestion. How is the article now? Thanks again and happy editing, S.D. 01:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Turkish Name?

Hallo Rigadoun, I can ensure you that the Mosque does exist, and has this name, also in the literature (i.e. in Krautheimer). The name is sometime spelled "Feneri Isa (Camii)", but the real name is "Fenari Isa". I visited it during the last Bayram (and, incidentally, someone stole there my shoes, but I did not write this in the Article ;-)) I think that our turkish fellows just forgot to add it in the list. Regards, Alex2006 08:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War at the Warfield

I noticed your comment at the DYK nomination for this article. I added a little more info to the article and was hoping you could take a look at the article again and check whether your prior statement is still valid. Thanks for your time. LuciferMorgan 22:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neaira article

Thanks for correcting the link on the Neaira article. It is still only about 80% complete and there are many errors, but it is looking better. Deatonjr 05:20, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Géraud Réveilhac

Hello,

I wrote the uppon mentionned article. On Template talk:Did you know, you mentionned the article "is being considered for deletion" on the french WP. I can tell you it has been kept, see fr:Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer/Réveilhac. In fact you can see the work that has been done since it has been requested for deletion on this dif. Originaly, even the firstname of the General was unknown, nor his birthdate, or death.

General Réveilhac was certainly not a great officer, he became famous with the Stanley Kubrick movie which is based as you mention on l'affaire des caporaux de Souain. He is the portrait of the generals of WWI who considered men as simple weapons. Near a century after, in France, Réveilhac is still honi. He is considered like a murderer, even if he was only one of a 100 look a like generals.

I'm actually doing researches to get some more information about this General. I hope these lines will make you feel better about the article.

Best regards. SalomonCeb 20:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linking tool with disambiguation pages

I noticed your edits to Blanche. You must be careful when editing disambiguation pages to follow WP:MOSDAB, which suggests not adding secondary links, and instead only have links to pages that one may have been looking for by that link. I have reverted most of your changes to follow this guideline. Rigadoun (talk) 19:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank-you. I did not realize this applied to articles which do not contain "disambiguation" in their title. But after reviewing WP:MOSDAB, I do see that you are correct. Thanks. Jerry 21:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese characters

Hi Rigadoun! Just went on your article on Cheng Yi and noticed that you haven't inserted Chinese characters for any of the names. I'm wondering whether you could remember to do that for the Chinese edits in the future...I think it's a shame not to let people know how to spell things in Chinese, so I kind of try to insert characters when possible. Just a thought...Thanks!Buglio 21:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK Balık sisters on March 17

Hi. Please check the length again since I expanded the article in order to meet the criteria of 1,000 characters minimum. CeeGee 15:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much for copyediting. CeeGee 15:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I hope I could do what you have suggested. CeeGee 19:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dutch Declension/Dutch Declension System

Hello there,

I wish you have time to go through the histories and part of the edits of both pages and Archaic Dutch Declension and realises it's all done by a user who keeps insisting Dutch have all the cases which is totally incorrect. Why merge with a page of erratic information?

Sorry for the rant, but hope you understand how sick it is to keep reverting back hoping the page would provide correct information and yet someone revert the other way and yet there's no one who can stop it.matt-(my page-leave me a message) 11:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update DYK

Actually it was last udated at 13:08. The admin just forgot to refresh the timer.-- Carabinieri 15:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin

Would you like to be an admin - you have created many good new pages, and helped the maintenance of the website, so are ideal . --Montchav 02:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

• Here you are, I've kicked off discussion at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rigadoun

[edit] Arabic

Hi. Just dropping by to give you some good advice: before tagging an article to request the addition of Arabic script, you can check if there is an Arabic Wikipedia interwiki, and when there is, you can use it to add the Arabic yourself. The Arabic script is almost always correct. All the best. Anas ^talk? 15:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missa Papae Marcelli

Sorry to steal your thunder, there...I actually found out there was no article for it while I was looking over the curriculum at St. John's College, U.S., hyperlinked it and found out it was red. Strangely, I checked the German and Italian wikis, and they don't have articles about the piece, either. It could still use some expansion, so by all means, go to town!

[edit] Gamelan

Seems a high level vandal target and the reverters i dont think look very carefully :( SatuSuro 23:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Fashion — interested?

I was reviewing 2000s in fashion for the newly created WikiProject Fashion and saw your comments on the talk page from last summer about the miserable quality of most of our fashion articles. If you'd still like to do something about it, I'm inviting you to join the new project ... we have so much work to do.

Congratulations on your adminship, BTW. Daniel Case 17:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Withdrawn RFA

Hey, best of luck sorting out and working through the admin info - never let the turkeys get to you! SatuSuro 15:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Oh and email me sometime ok? SatuSuro 15:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Just stopping by to say that I found your withdrawl statement very thoughtful and classy, and I look forward to supporting your RfA nomination in the future. Also, just in case you're not a regular RfA watcher, it is a unspoken community standard that one should wait 2-3 months before submitting a new RfA. In your case, since you exited so gracefully, I think your chances are excellent if you edit steadily during that time. I'd even be happy to nominate you myself at that time, if you'd like. :) Best wishes, Xoloz 15:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Milton Balkany

Did you know? was updated. On 6 April 2007, a fact from the article Milton Balkany, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

You get a notice for this one since you wrote a good hook to save it. --howcheng {chat} 06:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
