WP:DYK

Just read the page and follow the proposed DYKs other users have given here. Try to make the statement interesting to get it selected. Work on your article first and expand/reference it before writing your suggested DYK. - SpLoT / 17:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, go for it man. All the best, I hope you get onto the main page soon. Remember than phrasing the DYK is very important too. - SpLoT / 18:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!!

Thanks for the fast cleanup of my vandalized user page!!! Harksaw 02:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting vandalism to my user page as well. :-) Best regards.--Húsönd 02:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind wishes, and for the barn star. Take care. ---Charles 18:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from this quarter too. I appreciate it! Makron1n 01:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Chris, thanks a lot for your support to my recently concluded RFA! I see you are a prolific vandal fighter. Do let me know if ever you need any assistance with fighting some of these vandals or even otherwise:) -- Lost 10:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

What's that template?

Hi. I see you tagged Bignobbob's user page with a "no attacks" template for the Hannah watts article. I generally use {{attack}} if I need to do that but the template you used looks more like what I want for somebody whose only edit is an atk page. Which template is the one you used, please? Tonywalton  | Talk 12:09, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

D'oh. That'd be {{attack-warn}}. Why didn't I think of that! I think I'll put a comment in the template giving its name, à la most of the tmplates, so one can tell what it was even after subst-ing. Thanks for the info. Tonywalton  | Talk

Thanks

Yet again! --Guinnog 13:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

fjords

I added to an article!! my first one!! It was on the Sognefjord and I added about another branch of it called the Lusterfjord!! I was excited! Kbrackett 21:13, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thank you for the award of the Editors Barnstar - most appreciated! If I can ever help - please, just ask! Best Regards, Ian McAllister

Glad to see you put my awards templates to good use! Chris Kreider 03:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanx - I have acknowledged you in the template now! - Ian McA 03:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

You dont need to do that! That was not the point of the comment. I just found it a little bit funny. The reality is, most everything anybody has gotten was in some way, shape or form from someone else! I was just suprised to see that somebody had used something I did. I dont really care at all that you used it. Chris Kreider 03:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, that's OK! I found in a previous example it created a bit of community interaction in the last version I used/credited or created. You can tell we are a bunch of programmers here at heart - everybody nicks the best from everyone else....! Rgds, - Ian McA 03:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my page -- although, in this case, the reverted version was already vandalized...  :-) --Nlu (talk) 10:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
• Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
• Working on featured-level articles? We have some advice for nominators, and an A-Class review process to help check high-quality articles.
• Want to help with specific requests for assistance? Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
• Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Misplaced Pages.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 18:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

DYK

On 10 November, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article the Joint Expedition Against Franklin, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Civil War articles

Chris, take a look at User:Hlj/CWediting for the style guide the ACW Task Force uses for Civil War articles. I look forward to further contributions! Keep up the good work! Scott Mingus 01:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Chris, to get an article to A or FA status, there are several things that an editor can do, including determining the broad appeal of an article (narrow focus versus a wider topic that the masses might enjoy reading on the main page), using a wide range of resources and references, heavily footnoting, placing the subject in its historical context, editing out any grammar, composition or style issues, and asking for a peer review to help get suggestions. The Hunchback may be much too narrow a topic for an FA article, but could be elevated to A level with some effort. Scott Mingus 13:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings! Thank you so much, Chris Kreider, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 21:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Introduction

Hi! If you are coming here because I "reverted" the changes you made to an article then welcome! Either I made a mistake or you were just messing around. If I made a mistake, please let me know on my talk page, otherwise, consider signing up for an account and put the same effort you put into vandalism into enhancing Misplaced Pages! If you need help setting up an account, or want help on how to get started with editing wikipedia, just leave me a message on my discussion page! I promise I wont revert that(unless it is blatant vandalism). Just think, if every vandal became a valid contributor how much greater Misplaced Pages would be! Even if you don't want to register, feel free to contribute positively! If negative contributions continue, you are only wasting your time! There is an army of Wikipedians who will revert the changes! I have seen a lot and reverted thousands of vandalized articles. It doesn't phase me!

What's the point in that now every unregisterd user is going to feel that they have vandalized your user talk page area when just one person has. As for being a member you hardly get any benefits whatsoever you just get a user talk page and can edit just as non- registerd users can. 83.104.51.181 08:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Ernst Stavro Blofeld

In a dodgy eastern european accent: Thankyou number two (ha! your user is Chrislk 02!. I've been expecting you. Have a look at my user page to see a picture of my kitty, Mr Bigglesworth and my volcano home. Unfortunatley a photo graph of me Blofeld was not permitted - clearly wikipdia is guilty of embezzlement, a fraternity that strikes then weakens its victim by extortion. I bit you adieu Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

In an electronically distorted voice: My dear wikipedian. Two atomic bombs numbers 456 and 457 that were aboard NATO flight 259 are now in the possesion of SPECTRE. Unless your government pays a ransom of 100 billion dollars in gold bullion in a manner to be designated us, we will systematically annihilate and exterminate every major city in the United Kingdom and the United STates of America. Pleas signal acceptance of our terms by arranging for Big Ben to strike 7 times at 6 pm tomorrow. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:57, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou number two. My fuzzy bald head is becoming confused. Ah no! kitty. get down Mr Bigglesworth- no biting. Behave!. I sent the message of extortion to me number two!! Genuingly though thanks a lot mate its good to know someone appreciates my humour. There are far too many serious personalityless wikipedians on here. Cheers Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Please click List of James Bond henchmen in You Only Live Twice to see my henchmen. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

As James, Hi yeah it wasn't supposed to be the best article. I was just introducing you to my henchmen. Click List of James Bond henchmen and you can find coverage of every henhcman by film. List of James Bond henchmen in Doctor No is good as is List of James Bond henchmen in Live and Let Die. ALthough this has been done gradually my work on wikipedia is a bit more serious than this e.g Shalu Monastery, William Garwood etc!! Great fun though!! P.s I agree Goldfinger in my view is the second best villain in the entire series. It is certainly the best film -even though I wasn't in it! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

SigEp Content

Yeah I noticed him, he was on last night making edits. I’ve caught his edits once or twice and I assume he’s also the one with the new comment on the talk page. I’ll keep an eye out. Oh and thanks for the SigEp user box — Preceding unsigned comment added by Treyt021 (talk • contribs)

You need to spend less time on the internet.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.15.129 (talk • contribs)

Chris chris chrisy chris chris. You clearly do have an internet problem. Authoring an article on the USS Hunchback is one of the clearest signs. I suggest you stop, log off, unplug the computer, maybe even throw it away, and try to strike up a conversation with the nearest girl. It will be difficult at first, human contact, but please, just try. It is so much better than reading about girls on wikipedia. AND NO ONLINE DATING THAT WOULD ONLY DRAG YOU DEEPER INTO THIS HOLE.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.15.129 (talk • contribs)

I was first tempted to remove this as a personal attack. But, I really dont care and think it is kind of funny so, this is why it stays

On a random note, here is my response. "As i stated before, thank you for your concern with my personal life, most recently with my lack of human contact and needing to talk to a girl. I generally dont like to throw this information around but, to apease your concern, I do have a girlfriend. (Yes, she is real but you will have to take my word for it). Articles like the USS Hunchback are something to do that is not work related or even people related (some people, including myself, may have Introverted tendancies. In all, i appreciated your concern. Perhaps you might spend less time making personal attacks and more time socializing or even enhancing wikipedia!. If you need any help with this, please let me know. Thanks, Chris Kreider 02:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)"

You speedied this page on the 9th. The tag was removed immediately by the page creator. I have placed this back on the speedy list MNewnham 20:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Well done - it's always good to see historical articles getting representation.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The shiny

Thanks! I don't think these little buggers realise we can be all over them like a rash. I've seen your reverts around and quite often you have beaten me to it! . Good show! Bubba hotep 13:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

And thanks for the revert as well. It's all go today. :) Bubba hotep 15:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Many Thanks

For reverting the vandalism done to the Protest the Hero page. Really appreciate that. --Bouyeeze 13:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy Deletes!!

Good times on the nominations for deletions page eh? I love going through new pages and non-notables, etc too. And I just think it's funny that most of them are up for speedy delete. I wasn't too sure on if I should directly just nominate them for speedy delete, or let someone (like you) do it. Your thoughts...? I am mainly into disambiguation, but I have started dabbling in other areas of wiki-duty :) Missvain 20:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Mormon mysticism

As one of the few independent votes, I ask you to reconsider your vote on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mormon mysticism (or maybe you can help me see how the article is not OR). Even though an article has extensive references it can still be original research if the article compiles those references in a way to express a new idea (see, for example, User:WHEELER/Classical definition of republic which had almost 70 footnotes, but was still deleted). This article brings together such independent ideas, and there has been no independent reporting on the topic, nor even on the online communities. At the very least that should be the threshold for inclusion. Thx in adv for listening. --Trödel 20:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Re Vandal revert

Not a problem! You should thank Lupin's filter, it takes all the hassle out of vandal fighting! --Kwekubo 14:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Why vandalism?

Hi, you reverted my comment on the Dutch People article by allegiging it was vandalism? Please tellme what is wrong about my statement? It is a fact and, hence, the Dutch behaviour towards Germans in the 15th century appears indeed somehow ironic, does it not? Thx for your answer in advance! (194.9.5.12 16:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC))

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Unfortunatley, the wording is not that of an appropriate encylopedia article. There are many ironies in life. If you have a citation, or a valid source making that statement, then I would not have reverted it. If you have any more questions, let me know. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 16:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thx for your prompt answer! Well, actually it is a fact that, in the 15th century, there existed no distinction between Dutch and Germans as the German Reich, at this time, was not a nation as we know it today but rather a religous conglomarate of various German tribes such as Bavarians, Frisians, etc. In so far, at this time, the Dutch could simply not say "We do not like Germans" as this notion did not exist. The may have said "I do not like Saxonians or Bavarians". However, at this time, the Dutch formed part of the German Reich and, hence, this fact appeared somehow ironic to me. Please refer to German History in order to verify what I have just written. Anyway, to be honest, I was a bit angry as well when implementing my comment as the one who recently extended the passage (=user Rex Germanus) appears to be a real German-hater (fyi: that is at least my impression).
