[edit] Amazing

I just wanted to say that your edit summaries to French Revolution are astonishingly good. When you're done, I'm going to re-read them all and learn lots about good English grammar, despite speaking it natively! Great stuff, enjoy editing. -Splash^talk 23:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

It's good to have someone around cleaning up Wikipedia's written style. Have I travelled from East to West? I'm not sure what you mean; I'm not from the US. But in the US, yes, actually, I have travelled from New York to California (and most of the way back) on a holiday a few years back. From the 'real' East, no, I've never been there, more's the pity. -Splash^talk 00:04, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

There are no dues required to edit or use Wikipedia. Anyone may use the content provided here for free, subject to the GFDL and anyone may edit here for free as well. Becoming a Wikipedia:Administrator is not too hard; it takes a few months of good editing and easy-going interactions with other users and then you ask at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Admins just have access to a few additional tools that help the business of cleaning up the various parts of the project that need it. They aren't a 'higher' class of editor, and they don't acquire any additional editorial tools, apart from the ability to edit protected pages, but policy prevents them from doing so. Voting in Arbitration Committee elections usually takes place at the end of the calendar year. The 2005 elections were delayed until about a month ago, so you've just missed them. The suffrage requirements were that your account have been around for a couple of months and have a minimal quantity (150) of edits. This is just so that the less-pleasant users are not able to disrupt things by making a rash of new accounts; don't let the requirements put you off. Voting in Foundation elections is done only occasionally now, with the next elections in 2007. Elections are not the way most things are done around here, since we try to rely on consensual decision making rather than voting. But all of that is secondary to actually writing and improving the encyclopedia: without that, everything else would be pretty pointless! -Splash^talk 00:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] French Revolution article page.

Note: this comment is part of a synchronised thread. You can reply by clicking the [edit] link next to the comment's heading, or following this link. To ensure that you can see any further responses I make, add this page to your watchlist. Once you have replied, feel free to remove this boilerplate.

I have been doing a lot of very constructive editing for mechanics and style (in Wikignome fashion) and would like access to this page for this purpose. Can you provide me with access? Lottamiata 02:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Never mind. Looks like I have access. Thanks for protecting my work. Lottamiata 02:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Semi protection only prevents editing by users whose accounts are less than four days old. It's a very useful tool to make sure that pages like George W. Bush stay clean. Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way. Ingoolemo ^talk 02:47, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re Freemasonry

Thankyou.

I'd been reading MQ just before I saw your improvement to the opening paragraphs and thought it would be appropriate to use. RegardsALR 16:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] empty articles

I've just marked a bunch of your articles with {{db-empty}}. If you're going to create an article, I would suggest actually putting something in there other than just {{stub}} so it doesn't get speedy deleted. Here's a list of what I've marked so far, just so you know:

Media watchdog
Hearing room
Federal statute
District of Columbia Public Utilities Commission
Arizona State Bar
Self-Incrimination Clause

[edit] Another comment on the empty articles

I have tried to expand some of these articles, but I am not a lawyer. Could you please try to expand them further and fix any errors that I may have made? -TruthbringerToronto 19:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked?

Hello. If you've been autoblocked, I need some extra info to be able to help. Please paste the entire block message below. Even better, use the {{unblock}} template along with the message. This way, any other admin may spot this and help as well. Misza 13 ^{T C} 19:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the information. It was very helpful.Lottamiata 18:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lipník

Thank you for your kind words you e-mailed me. I am also interested in the history of your country, I think researching back your ancestry is quite fascinating. I am ethnic Pole, living in the Czech Republic, in the beautiful town of Czeski Cieszyn. If you prefer contact by e-mail, just let me know. - Darwinek 15:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Association of Members' Advocates

Hi, you are receiving this message because you have listed yourself as an active member of WP:AMA. If you aren't currently accepting inquiries for AMA, or if you have resigned, please de-list yourself from Wikipedia:AMA Members. If you are still active, please consider tending to any new requests that may appear on Category:AMA Requests for Assistance. We're going to put AMA on wheels. :) Sorry for the template spamming - we're just trying to update our records, after we had a huge backlog earlier in the week (if you've been taking cases, then sorry, and please ignore this :)). Again, sorry, and thanks! M a rtinp23 21:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits made to Scottish Rite

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Lottamiata! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \bexample\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 22:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] listing Masonic Lodge officers

Hi Lottamiata... I don't think we can list all of the different lodge officers beyond the Master and two Wardens ... even Deacons are iffy. There is a HUGE variation of practice between different jurisdictions. Some have Stewards and some don't, some have an Inner Guard and some don't, some have Masters of Ceremonies and some don't... The article is supposed to be general to all jurisdictions. Blueboar 19:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:72 hoyt.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:72 hoyt.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] maximal system

I noticed the maximal system article when an IP editor added what appear to be vanity links to axiomatic system pointing to it. You added categories (a lot of them) to maximal system in February. Can you provide any reference? As it is currently written, the article could be mistaken for unpublished research. CMummert · talk 20:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

No harm has been done. In this situation, I would recommend moving the article to your user space until you add references. With one or more references to reliable sources, the article would be fine. I assume that you are the main author of the article.

To move the article, the easiest thing to do is cut and paste. Click this red link: User:Lottamiata/Maximal system, start the new page, and cut and paste the body of the article there. Then replace then entire body of Maximal system with {{Db-author}}. This will let the janitors know to delete the empty page. Try to find some print references in a month or so, and then you can copy and paste the page back to its old location. CMummert · talk 01:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
