| Hi. Your addition of what has been alleged to be XVE's real name to the ] page was reverted. As we have been discussing on the article's discussion page, so far there has been no real proof offered that this is indeed his name. Until such proof can be provided, the name will not be allowed to be added to the article. If you have proof yourself, please come to the article's talk page and present it to other Misplaced Pages editors who are working on this article. Thanks. · ]<sup>]</sup> 18:31, May 23, 2005 (UTC) | |||

| *Nevermind, I see that you have added a detailed explanation. Thanks for that. But until the community of editors have had a chance to evaluate what you have added and decide whether it's enough of a proof, the name should be withheld from the article. Thanks. · ]<sup>]</sup> 18:34, May 23, 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Oops, its Imoeng :P. I have added an infobox, so you just have to fill that out. Also, I reckon it will be usefull if you look at ] article, since it is a featured article (and he is a novelist :P) and see the flow and structure of the article. For the inline citations, sorry, but you have put it incorrectly. Try using ] and copy the suitable template between <nowiki><ref> and </ref></nowiki>. At the bottom, you can make a new subheading titled "References" or "Notes" and put <nowiki><references/></nowiki>. Hope that helps, please tell me if it doesn't work out. And I do want to hear again from you :D. Cheers -- <span style="font-family: comic sans ms">]]</span> 22:18, 21 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi again, btw, it is Imoeng, :P. About the article, everything looks fine for me, technically. I have changed it slightly, and moved the puctuations before citations. It looks cool. You might want to try ]. The way to do it is just copy the template (just like the infobox) and paste it between <nowiki><ref></nowiki>. Then you just have to fill it out. Good luck and take care -- <span style="font-family: comic sans ms">]]</span> 03:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hey, Jeff. Thank you for looking this up. Citing an everchanging webpage is not ideal, but I suppose anything is better than nothing to substantiate it. Thanks ! -- ] 13:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Jeffpw, thanks for the Nexis tip. I really don't know anything about that site, so I'll give it a try. I suspect there is more on this guy and I just haven't been able to find it. I need to try a big university library, too. --] 13:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Re:Etiquitte question == | |||
| Hmmm! Tough issues! And delicate! Usually politeness make miracles (Oupsss! This is said by somebody who usually is nothing but polite!). Once I was also an intruder in an article, but I was definite I was right and I imposed myself, although my attitude to the initial editor of the article was not the best possible one. Of course, results vindicated me (the article is now FA), but I would now handle the whole issue in a different way. | |||
| To the point: According to what you told me, as a newcomer, you handled the whole thing quite skilfully. If he really wants to contribute and is a normal guy, you'll find ways to co-exist with him. Otherwise, you have a problem! If you see he insists in his way, one think you can do is ask him to provide sources for his edits. If he doesn't do it, you can revert. In any case, the best way to handle these issues is through consensus and compromises. We like it or not there is no ] of the articles here. | |||
| Have in mind that if a quarrel keeps going, then there may be mediations, arbitrations etc. These procedures are not usually pleasant. You then have to do with more people, uninvolved mediators, ambitious administrators, with people who sometimes don't understand what you tell them etc. Well, nt everything here is ideal! | |||
| And something else: Have in mind the ]. You are a newcomer here and you may accidentally violate it without wanting it. | |||
| Ah! And if you tell me the article and see the problem, I might be more specific in my remarks. Cheers.--] 15:13, 1 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| *It was my Baker article, but the situation resolved itself quite nicely:). Someone else came along and backed up my point of view, so no editing was occurred (which was a concern of mine). Thanks for your response. ] 20:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Kalinga Magha help== | |||
| Hello Jeffpw. I'm not sure if this is the right place to get in touch - sorry if it isn't, but I'm a newbie! Thanks for looking at the Kalinga Magha article and altering it. I've a couple of questions. | |||
| #The article was called 'Kalinga Magha' before I edited it, but I ''would'' like to change it to just Magha - how can I do that? | |||
| #I also need an infobox, and would like to get another box made called 'Significant Rulers of Sri Lanka' and include links to the other Sri Lankan rulers' articles I've written. How can I get this done? | |||
| Thanks!] 08:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ==Assessment of ]== | |||
| I think that Start is pretty fair. The article will , in time, grow, but the next time will be with a full list of both resources and references, and a more complete listing of all portions of his life. | |||
| Thanks for your time! --] 21:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Thank you for your comments on ]. I modified the article (as time permitted) and copied your comments to the discussion page of the article. -- ] 13:22, 3 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks for your new comments. A picture is worth 1,000 words, making those two photos worth 2,000 words by my count. LOL. As soon as I get better photos, I'll replace the two you mentioned. Right now, I like creating new articles, but not bringing them to GA or better status. I prefer to leave improving on my articles to others. -- ] 13:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC) | |||

This is the user talk page of an editor who has died. His family has requested that the page be preserved, which it is through the edit history. Editors wishing to leave memorial comments should do so here.
There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere, and we are all apt to expect too much; but then, if one scheme of happiness fails, human nature turns to another; if the first calculation is wrong, we make a second better: we find comfort somewhere. Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
