[edit] Chto Ne Khvataet

I agree with x being transliterated Kh, though what would you prefer? Khvataet or Khvatayet? I'd rather stay with the latter because i've seen "e" be transliterated as ye when it's intervocalic, but I'd like to know what you think, since you probably understand Russian/cyrillic more than i do ^_^. --Sergio Á. 23:12, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] unter null

The contents of your unter null page is very similar to the text found on, say, http://www.alfa-matrix.com/bio_unternull.php and various other places on the web. That makes it a copyright violation (and unless it is rewritten it will very likely be deleted as such), but it also reads more like a marketing blurb than an encyclopaedia article. I think you should consider revising it. u p p l a n d 05:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I replied to you on my talkpage. u p p l a n d 05:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Endzeit Bunkertracks

The problem is, I believe, with Wikipedia's search function, which is apparently slow to update (I don't rememmber where I read that, but I saw it somewhere). You might as well use Google (including the word "wikipedia" or site:.wikipedia.org in the search). u p p l a n d 16:23, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tatu

I know little about the Russian duo (I know they exist but not much more) and I have never before heard of the "Japanese Rope Artist" who is now at Tatu, so I don't really feel inclined to have an opinion on this. u p p l a n d 18:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Tatu was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot2 20:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, when thinking a little more about it, with the number of meanings that exist, it seems reasonable to have a disambiguation page at Tatu. I would suggest that you initiate a discussion at Wikipedia:Requested moves. (Moving an article through the cutting and pasting of text is not allowed, as it breaks up the history of the article and is not in accordance with the GFDL.) u p p l a n d 20:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Please note that I did not write anything about vandalism. The bot (Tawkerbot2) above my message did (and as it is a bot, it picks up edits that look like vandalism, according to various algorithms, without actually being able to make any judgment with regard to the larger context).

Perhaps you should nominate the rope porn guy for deletion. As I said, I haven't heard of him; that doesn't necessarily mean that he isn't notable, but I can't tell. If you will do a bit of research and convince yourself that he is truly non-notable, I would suggest that you make a nomination on AfD and argue your case (please don't just write "Non-notable. Delete." as you may see people do in some nominations, as that is a bad practice). If you feel that a nomination for deletion is inappropriate (if he turns out to be at least borderline notable after all), I would suggest that you write a note on WP:AN/I and ask for help in handling the other user. u p p l a n d 20:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rope bondage horror POV shock sensation!

Hi. In this recent edit, you stuck a badly needed CLEANUP template on shibari and you also stuck a POV template on it. I don't know if it's POV or OR, because I don't know anything about it and I'm not going to follow up the links -- not because I'm squeamish but because (a) I'm not interested and (b) I'm editing from work and I'm sure the guys who track my web movements would find these particularly amusing. On the article's talk page, the (self-proclaimed!) author (owner?) of the article asks why, as of course he has a right to do. I think you should explain.

No need to reply on my own page; just write something on that one. Thanks. -- Hoary 06:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

PS aha, I've found that the page on Japanese bondage is explictly about shibari. I've therefore redirected Shibari to it. (Hm, since I'm doing this from my office, I wonder what the IT people make of the log of which URLs I'm accessing.) -- Hoary 07:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

PPS when I wrote the "PS" I should also have struck out the earlier message, whose request the PS renders unnecessary. I'm therefore remedying this right now. -- Hoary 00:43, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

that is quite understandable, but i don't think alfa matrix is having much trouble getting the word out :) Dr. Ke 20:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] x64 features in Windows Vista

Hi. Thanks for pointing out the missed text. But in such a case, its better not to add placeholder text to the article (as you did), it makes the article look ugly. Instead inform the user who made the edits on his/her talk page (in case you cant fix the mistake yourself). This will enusre quicker response. Thanks again and regards, --soUmyaSch 09:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello Shandris! I see you contribute greatly to Warcraft articles, how about helping us over at WikiProject Warcraft? Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. Havok (T/C/c) 21:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed it was, feel free to invite others aswell. The more the merrier. Havok (T/C/c) 10:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I replied to your concerns on the talk page. --soUmyaSch 16:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

And, if possible, could you please take a look at the Microsoft Office 2007 page and give a review of what you feel. --soUmyaSch 16:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I replied on the talk page. --soUmyaSch 11:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, I replied, but it wont be of much help to you, as i didnt do anything to get it to work. You better take it to ms beta newsgroups. --soUmyaSch 11:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pear caption

I guess it isn't really necessary, but there's no reason not to mention it (and some people can be amazingly blind to the obvious, "why hasn't mine got that white patch on?"!). The original caption was as given by the person who first uploaded the pic. - MPF 10:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Shandris, would you mind taking a look at the vote for the way we represent articles about consoles and handheld systems? Thank you. Havok (T/C/c) 23:00, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig pages

Hi, i've just edited SE to make it more closely match the guidelines at WP:MOSDAB and WP:DAB. You might find these pages a worthwile read, thanks/L/wangi 03:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VX disambiguation

Regarding your reversion to the VX redirect, perhaps we're going about this the wrong way. The stardard for two-letter acronyms is to have the disambig page exist at that page (compare VG, VE, and VM) and label it with the {{2LCdisambig}}. As this is the de facto standard, I think it would be best if implemented that. :) Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 13:57, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Most are, but many are not. I cannot accept "it's too tedious" as a reason. Besides, take a look at the "what links here" for VX itself. As you can see, I've already done all of the disambiguation. :) – ClockworkSoul 14:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
  • But they dont redirect at all, because I've already done all the disambiguation work myself (take a look for yourself :) ). Everything that should go to VX (nerve agent) already does so, and likewise with VX (band), VX (software company), Aces, and V speeds. Really, there is no longer any reason not to change VX to conform to the standard. – ClockworkSoul 14:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
    • It was actually very easy: I use navigation popups, which provides the capability to disambiguate links very easily. – ClockworkSoul 18:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copy and paste moves are evil

Please do not do copy and paste moves. If you wish to rename a page, do it properly. Uncle G 02:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig pages

To see why your revert was reverted on VX, see the standards at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Rmhermen 01:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, please read the guideline before reverting again. Disambiguation pages are meant to disambiguate the title term only, not to be a collection of related and links. If you don't like it, please discuss at the MOS page, but don't fight consensus on individual disambiguation pages. —Michael Z. 2006-08-03 06:22 Z

[edit] Warcraft AfDs

I would like to redirect you to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles. Could you please voice your opinion on this, as it will sett precedence for what to do with articles like this. Havok (T/C/c) 06:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know your comment was removed because the AfD was closed, it was not out of any disrespect or anything, you just arent suppose to add comments after the AfD closes. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 00:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:JuliaVPD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JuliaVPD.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ptr ru 10:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncivil Edit Summaries

The edit summary you made on the t.A.T.u. page is out of line. Regardless of how others may behave, refering to anyone in a disparaging manner like that in an edit summary is inappropriate. Please read WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. — Chad "1m" Mosher ^Email Talk _Cont. 08:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Straylight Run

You asked what the term "Straylight Run" means on Talk:Straylight Run. It is a reference to last portion of the novel Neuromancer by William Gibson, where "Villa Straylight" is the mansion/complex of the Tessier-Ashpool clan, and the novel's anti-heros engage in an infiltration/sabotage operation against villa Straylight, or a "run" against Straylight. Hence, Straylight Run. Hope that helps. - Vedexent (talk) - 16:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks extremely much for the explanation! You made my day, thanks again! --Shandris^{the azylean} 22:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:UsrAccCtrl.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:UsrAccCtrl.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.
