A very special message from Oleg Alexandrov. I think we all could learn from it:

[edit] Percent error

Perhaps this should go on the article's talk page, but first of all, percent error is different from approximation error, so they should definitely not be merged or redirected or what have you. And second of all, just having that one source makes the article more "reliable" (in that sense) than a great many articles on here. In my opinion, the tag is extremely nitpicky. You are not going to find, say, an article from a major newspaper on this subject; the source already listed in the article is probably the best you can possibly do. Frankly, tags are ugly, and should be avoided if not absolutely needed. Anyway, glad my impulse at 2 in the morning was not in vain. Loved your post on my talk page, and hopefully some more sources can be found and we can get rid of that tag for good. Have a nice day. →EdGl 20:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Partial birth Abortion

Hello, you made some changes to partial birth. Watch over the page, will you, add something new and expand on the cruelty. Foremanfan (Forgot to sign)

Sure, I'll watch it. It needs a lot of clean up though and some references, but I'm sure other people are watching it now. Although, I don't necessarily agree with your viewpoints as it seems it is easy to tell which side you are on in the Abortion Debate. So I don't quite understand how I must add to the "cruelty". But thanks for the message and good luck defending your addition to the article Abortion. Gilawson 18:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Fast reply, good! Some guy wants to remove partial birth, I think he may have some point, so I put it under partial birth section, it should stay there, go on abortiont talk page. Some people just milk un-necessary things to get their point across. You do not have to agree my friend, simply listen and look how ugly partial birth abortion is, cracking baby's skull. Foremanfan

We're not here to "just milk un-necessary things to get (our) point across". We are here to talk facts, not opinion. Gilawson 19:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Not you, you ok dude,)i guess) I am saying others, milking it for a wrong word somebody says, that is what I say, so do not be like them. Exactly, no opinions, everything I posted happened yesterday, it is a given fact, which now belongs in US and World abortion history and in US it will remain as it is for partial birth abortion. Foremanfan

Yea, I think you should give a look at the two articles: Abortion in the United States and Abortion law as I'm not quite sure how it would play a role in the general article Abortion. It seems that article is the generalized piece about the topic whereas the other articles are more focused on different aspects, which relates to your addition. Gilawson 19:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so you mean, I should place my paragraph under partial birth abortion only? Makes sense, but I am not going to argue with others what's right or wrong, but I know a lot on abortion, if they do not want my help, then these articles will miss things of importance. Foremanfan

They seem to be covering that specific topic Here. Gilawson 19:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Any other link? Seems fine, all I am saying, few words of current abortion situation is necessary. Would you agree we need separate article on abortion in USA only? 'Foremanfan'

There is already an article about Abortion in the USA, it's Abortion in the United States, and on those pages, there seems to be many many links to other Abortion pages on Wikipedia, so could maybe search among them to see where you could add appropriately. Gilawson 20:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I had no idea that article existed, somebody should have told me that in the first place. But anyways, many abortion articles miss tons and tons of information.

Hi there. Regarding your edits, changing Live to LIVE, note that Wikipedia has its own set of guidelines, specifically Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), which indicates that Capitalize trademarks, as with proper names. and Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment: avoid: REALTOR®, instead, use: Realtor Therefore, we do not care whether the trademark states they should be all capitalized, Wikipedia uses its own guideline which indicates it should be "proper cased". So, LIVE, even as a trademark, must be modified to Live. Hopefully this will help understand the matter. -- ReyBrujo 04:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
