re:Wikibreak

Thanks. I'll have time to make a few edits here and there, but definitely not enough time to debate a controversial rewrite of WP:FICT. Hopefully, this will only be a brief break. — Deckiller 19:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

RFA thanks

Hi Dorftrottel. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. Your Q7 really made me think about Misplaced Pages in a way I never had. I especially appreciate your willingness to forgive my past actions and put your trust in me. It does means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance.

Re: (User talk:ais523) adminrights

Thanks for pointing this out! I've whitelisted : in the script as a character safe to output directly into URLs (MediaWiki seems to put colons directly into the URLs, rather than URL-encoding them like it does with most other punctuation marks; I hadn't realised this before your comment). I've now corrected the script appropriately; the fix may not appear for you until you bypass your cache. --ais523 08:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Nominator

Hello, i am the user known as onopearls. although i feel that you have every right to criticize a nominator, to call their intentions questionabe is, in my opinion, uncouth. How long a user has been editing wikipedia or how long an account has been active shouldn't play such a significant role in your judgement of a nominator, and saying that the noms intentions are "fishy" is unjust without background knowledge. i have been editing wikipedia for close to three years, but never felt that a account was nessecary. i have also edited much more than 167 times. my short sentence can be attributed to the fact that i have never nominated a user before. i will write a longer one the next time nominate a user, should i ever do that again. please dont consider this a personal attack, but i felt that your accusations were misguided, and that i needed to set the record straight. Best Wishes, Onopearls 20:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC) "". Onopearls 17:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure you're not mistaking me from someone else? I don't recall ever typing the word "fishy" in any context. —AldeBaer (c) 20:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I know. i shouldnt have put fishy in quotation marks. i was referring to your agreeing with Sarah. sorry for the mix-up. best wishes, Onopearls 20:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

What RfA are you talking about anyway? —AldeBaer (c) 20:52, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Edits

Actually it wasn't a test - I used the information in the article as a starting point for this fictional article: http://serv01.siteground133.com/~europea1/index.php?title=Dagger_STS/STG —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.9.89.137 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Well being lazy I CTRL+X'ed the contents rather than CTRL+C'ed them, and then without thinking saved the page >.<

Well - I noticed when I was presented with a blank page afterwards with the word 'whooooops' reverberating around my head. Being as I'd just cut the lot I had it in my clipboard easily available and just pasted it back in. I was a little worried I'd be banned for it >.<

Oh - just FYI - I've finished the article that I used this one as a base for: http://serv01.siteground133.com/~europea1/index.php?title=Dagger_STS/STG

will that be ok?

will that be ok? i added something else.

even though they are my own words? Onopearls 17:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, simply because an exchange has taken place. I replied to your post, and my comments are unintelligible without your initial message. It takes away the context and meaning of my comments. —AldeBaer (c) 17:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

vandalism

i am conducting no vandalism; i've been working very hard to improve articles by making sure both German and Italian is used. I've upgraded a lot of the village homepages to new templates, etc. please, assume good faith. :(

sorry if it was misconstrued as vandalism; it was not. I have tried to make sure and use Alto Adige and Sud Tirol in the historical context, and the Province of Bolzano-Bozen when referring to the actual modern day province.

That part is a bit difficult to be exact, because during that time there was only the County of Tirol under the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Both Alto Adige and Sud Tirol are terms that have become more used in modern times. Alto Adige (technically) came out of the early 1800s, and Sud Tirol was used more after WWI. But to answer your question, at that time there was no Sud Tirol proper. I guess to be more precise, it could be written that he was in the city of Bolzano-Bozen in what was the County of Tirol (in present day Alto Adige/Sud Tirol). I was mainly trying to make sure at least both German and Italian terms were referenced.

Ok, let's go through this together. I'm (slowly) beginning to understand the difficulties here. Why are there three different articles (South Tyrol, Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Bozen and Alto Adige/Südtirol) for the same region anyway? Maybe we should link to each of those from the "See also" section in the articles you edited. —AldeBaer (c) 22:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Looking at the page, I believe they are trying to work that out a compromise as they did on Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. I do not care so much, as they choose something that has both languages. There is some difficulty though because the area names of these provinces correspond also with the actual province names. I.e., Trentino == Autonomous Province of Trento. Alto Adige/Südtirol == Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Bozen. So it does get confusing I guess.

Good idea; though I've spent more time than I should today on Misplaced Pages. :-) I wish my Greek friend would relax a bit too, and assume good faith; I mean, he could of simply asked. If you look at my edits I try to be very consistent, on the city pages I go out of my way to make sure I have both German and Italian, etc.
