- Hi, just a note--Wikipedia is not a collection of source material. For that, you might want to check out our sister project, Wikisource. They already had the text of The Cornelian there, so I've deleted the version you posted here. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 21:15, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Woodcarving
I noticed that you have contributed to the Wood carving article. Please vote for Woodcarving at the Wikipedia:Article Improvement Drive --Reflex Reaction 14:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect bypassation
Hi, I noticed that you made an edit to bypass a redirect at Pattern matching. However, WP:REDIRECT specifically forbids editing solely to avoid redirects - it introduces needsless verbiage at a net heavier load on the servers. Please bear this in mind when you are pondering circumventing redirects. --Sam Pointon 22:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- My mistake - it was adding a whole new link, not just piping. I should look at the diffs closer. --Sam Pointon 22:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tobacco Smoking
I see that you have made major contributions to the Tobacco smoking page on Wikipedia and I have a question. Do you know anything about tobacco farm subsidies as they relate to the government fight against smoking? --GoOdCoNtEnT 20:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry GoOdCoNtEnT, haven't a scobie. scope_creep 19:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] British linkfixing
Since [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] wikilinks to a redirect, wouldn't it be simpler to just make your edits point to United Kingdom? Or am I missing something? --DeLarge 22:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Naw, I don't think so. There is 3 seperate phases of brits, most of them cover that (80%). There is also the British empire, which is in the second period. I think it would blur it. If you could identiy which articles relate to brits later than 1922, the modern era and wasn't antyhing to do with army, then you would get 80% of them, and the link could be put in there. i think 10% 300 or so, is 1700 stuff. I think this is my last disamg gaf. (scope_creep 19:37, 5 August 2006 (UTC))
I reiterate the OP. Please stop disambigging to a redirect. Eitehr fix the link properly, or leave it as it is. - UtherSRG (talk) 20:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Speedy delete" call
With regards to this edit:
Please note that "non notable" is not a criteria for speedy deletion. Failure to assert notability is. For more information on when exactly to call for (as well as when not to call for) a speedy delete, refer to Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven De Lelie
I noticed your vote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steven De Lelie. The article Steven De Lelie now has some references. Could you please take another look at it? --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 23:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_NESkimos
Could you also look at your vote on the NESkimos artical? The arguments for a keep are there, but to recap for you, 1. The artical passes one, maybe two, points, however it only needs to pass ONE. 2. Notable sources have been cited.
Thank you very much!

[edit] XPLANE
Regarding your vote for deletion: I reviewed the Wikipedia deletion policy and did not see "notable" as a requisite criteria for inclusion. I believe that XPLANE IS notable, however I petition you to withdraw your vote for deletion as it does not appear to be supported by the Wikipedia policy. dgray_xplane
