[edit] Dutch naval ships

Hi Martin - one of the basic principles of categorisation on Wikipedia is that articles should not generally be categorised into a category and another category below or above it. Since "Royal Netherlands Navy frigates" is a specific subcategory of "Military of the Netherlands", it's not best practice to include an article in both. I created the more specific category to parallel what's being done with other navies. Note that articles in "Royal Navy frigates" are not also listed directly under "Military of the United Kingdom"... Anyway, nice to see some non-UK and non-US ships turning up! :) --Rlandmann 21:50, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Your unexplained image reversion

Hello; could you please explain why you reverted Image:Vampyroteuthis illustration.jpg from the (IMO superior) colour version I recently uploaded, to the grainy, black and white scan that I had originally put up? Unless you tell me otherwise, I'll assume it was a mistake; I've reverted the image back to the colour version and I can only hope it stays that way. -- Hadal 08:10, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Oh, no problem then. I was afraid you had reverted the image because there was something horribly wrong with it that I hadn't yet clued in on (*relief*). I suppose you may have clicked the "(rev)" link next to the old revision by mistake, perhaps thinking it would show you the old revision rather than revert to it? (To see an older revision of an image, you'd click the timestamp link, e.g. "08:14, 2 Feb 2004".). In any event, thank you for your quick reply. Cheers, -- Hadal 06:55, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tanks of World War II

Howdy Martin.

I'm actually in the process of phasing out using the conflict as a method of categorization of the vehicles. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Weaponry for details on the proposed standard. Oberiko 01:37, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ligne Claire

Hi there, Nice work on the article but the final paragraphs are a little repetitive perticularly the bit about Tardi and Adele Blanc-Sec. I thought you may want to edit it before I do? --MarkB 23:05, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Nothing to improve on there there Martin. :) Thanks for your work on the article. Glad to see another Tardi fan there - is he translated into Dutch or do you read him in French? I always imagined him to be a very franco-centric writer that may not transfer too well to another language (or even outwith Paris given the way in which the town becomes a character of its own in the series)...--MarkB 11:27, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] British comic

You voted for British comic to be the comics collaboration, and since it now is, we'd appreciate your help in working on it to get it to Featured article status. Please discuss what needs to be done on Talk:British comic#Collaboration and thanks in advance. Steve block talk 14:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] please do not leave categories as empty

I noticed that you emptied out "Category:Communist parties in Turkey". If you want to delete a category, please use {{cfr-speedy}} or other appropriate template. -- Fplay 02:49, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orphan categories

Hey there. I've been going through Special:Uncategorizedcategories, and I noticed that you blanked the category Communist Parties in Turkey about a week ago. If a category is unused and unneded, can you please mark it for speedy deletion with the {{db}} template, rather than just leaving it orphaned? Thanks. -- SCZenz 01:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Trotskyist organisations

I need to ask you why you removed this subcat from Category:Communist parties and placed it in the Category:Socialist parties. Surely, anyone agrees on the fact that Trotskyism is indeed a form of Communism - unless you have knowledge of some hidden fact. Dahn 20:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, I want to point out several issues: there is no "mainstream communism" in reference to Trotskyism, but rather several; of these, many are in an identical situation (including what you had in mind as the "official communism" - Stalinism and post-Stalinism, I presume: the ruling parties in the GDR, Poland, one-time Romania, et al. have avoided calling themselves "communist"). There is a major ambiguity in the case of Marx's followers in the very beginning, I admit it: you have a Kautsky, a Trotsky, and a Stalin. But: following Lenin (which is what all Trotskyoists do) should be a shibboleth of Communism (since it steps out of the vaguery); Trotskyism was not only initiated by a CPSU official, it was initiated by a CPSU official who was deemed and admitted to being more left-wing than the mainstream communist party. Is this a good point I'm making? Dahn 20:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Anti-tank vehicle

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Anti-tank vehicle, by Sus scrofa (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Anti-tank vehicle fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

superfluous talk page, no prior history


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Anti-tank vehicle, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 14:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James D. Nicoll

Thanks for your clean up of the first half of the James D. Nicoll article. However, your reversions in the later part of the article do not accurately reflect the sources cited and as such constitue Original Research. I will be removing the 'original research' from the later portions of the article if valid sourcing is not provided for the claims made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.137.41 (talk) 20:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Good Version'

Apparently the 'good version' of the article James D. Nicoll is one where sources are misquoted?? The 'rife vandalism' is the conversion of a fact based article to an unsurced fan homage. Please actually read the sources quoted before declaring 'vandalism'207.69.137.7 13:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I would take your 'warning' not to 'vandalise' the article seriously if any of my edits had ACTUALLY been vandalism. Requiring statements within the article to reflect what the sources actually say is not vandalism. Reverting to the versions that misquote, is. SavingJDNfromthefilk 12:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I saw you here, and read your views on your user page about Wikipedia. I too subscribe to some of them (repeat some of them) though with a little modifications. --Bhadani (talk) 16:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
