Niger

Hello, GreatGatsby.

Could you please stop changing the proper pronunciation of Niger to the nonexistent "nigh-ZEER"? It is either "nee-ZHAIR" or "NIGH-jer". Please read Talk:Niger. - TAKASUGI Shinji 00:11, 2005 Mar 23 (UTC)

Edit summary

• On that note, please don't change proper British English spellings in articles to their bastardised American versions. :-) BLANKFAZE | (что??) 23:09, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cummings

Hi, I didn't actually change the article, but I did intervene to try to get some kind of consensus and I did ask for page protection (being reluctant to do it myself because of my involvement). I will continue to try to get agreement, as I do not want to see anybody being blocked or leaving the project over this issue. If you are interested, most of my interventions are on Blankfaze's talk page and on AN/3RR page. Filiocht | Talk June 30, 2005 07:34 (UTC)

GreatGatsby, since you were one of the users with direct experience on the question, feel free to stay keen of developments in the E. E. Cummings article as well as your disputes with Blankfaze. I mentioned the revert previously in the talk page of the article as (implicitly) evidence of his bad faith on the question; if you have more to add please mention it, or keep it in mind if the dispute needs to go further. --TJive July 1, 2005 02:55 (UTC)

Your comments at Vanunu

Thanks for your supportive comments, but I actually made that comment back in July. Jayjg 23:10, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

RuneScape cheats

Hi, thank you for helping control the vandalism, it's very appreciated. The article is under attack by the company JAGeX right now. Please help save the article by commenting in the talk page.Jonathan888 (talk) 15:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Drug-free

Hi there Miborovsky, Im SWD316. I saw your name to the list of drug-free Wikipedians. I created a template and category for it at Template:Drug-free. You can add it to your babel if you want. Hope you use it! SWD316 23:47, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

On the Catholic Church of Misplaced Pages

As you have described yourself as a Catholic, I thought I would alert you as a co-religionist to your opportunity to delete the particularly offensive article, Misplaced Pages:Catholic Church of Misplaced Pages.--Thomas Aquinas 21:48, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I'll go get my flame-proof suit

So a thirteen year old thinks disliking France makes someone an idiot? Jeez, I should reexamine my whole life now. Thank you. And the Mac bias is laughable. I hope you're not a gamer. GreatGatsby 00:15, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

All righty then, I'll delete that one and refer you to the one right after it. I'm just sick of people who hate France and don't know why. Just so you know, I dislike my three-year-old Mac, but I abhor my five-year-old PC. I'm POOR, and I'm happy that my computer is at least usable. Bias? I wouldn't call it bias, but no one listens to kids who care/ramble about technology. I game very rarely now - buy me a new computer and that might change. --Bryan Nguyen | Talk 05:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I do dislike France for several reasons, chief being their historical ungratefulness for American's help (especially in the Second World War, which I am very interested in. I do not just dislike nations because it's "hip" or the "thing to do". GreatGatsby 13:38, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

A Message to Pro-Life Wikipedians

The section "Foetal Pain" (Fetal Pain) has been deleted from the Abortion article. Could you help restore it? If you would like to see what was deleted, go to my talk page, scroll to "Fetal Pain," and click the provided link.--Thomas Aquinas 22:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Pro-life Categories being listed for deletion!

I thought you might be intereted to know that the Category:Pro-life celebrities and Category:Pro-life politicians are being voted on for deletion since 11-24-2005. Here is the page they are being decided on: Misplaced Pages:Categories for deletion. Dwain 00:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Your note on MfD

Hi GreatGatsby. Apologies for the delay, but I only just saw your personal attack on me on the MfD for CCW. If I'd seen it sooner, I'd have said something sooner.

First, please read the Misplaced Pages policy on not making personal attacks as it will be useful to you. Making a personal attack and declaring it not to be a personal attack doesn't stop it being a personal attack.

Secondly, please consider not making breathtakingly inaccurate assumptions about me based on my user page. This is not helpful to anyone. I have declared my views (each of which was independently arrived at over a period of time and each of which has been thought through rather than arrived at by assumption) on my user page so that other editors can see my off-Misplaced Pages views and judge my edits accordingly. In the real world, this is called "declaring an interest" and is considered a good thing. Perhaps not by you, but by other people certainly.

Finally, I'd be interested to know what you felt you would achieve by attacking me. Did you hope to change my vote? Make me leave the Misplaced Pages? Or were you just slapping down someone who didn't agree with you? I ask purely for information as I find the thought processes behind such an attack to be a fascinating subject to consider intellectually.

Many thanks. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

As I said, I read your page and wanted to make an observation (I didn't think my comment would change your vote, nor did I want it to). Your comment here brings some interesting things to light, but you'd probably also interpret those as some juvenile personal attack, so I'll keep my observations to myself this time (more for fear of you crying to some Misplaced Pages authority than anything else).
