[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Karen Dotrice

With all respect, did you read the comment immediately above yours? RadioKirk talk to me 05:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, others have now clarified the placement of sources (as opposed to their existence) so, never mind :) RadioKirk talk to me 18:21, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Uh... wow. This doesn't mesh at all with other featured articles I've read (and, "went to became"?!). What did I miss? RadioKirk talk to me 21:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about my recent edits to the article? Do you think they are inappropriate? I corrected the "went to became" mistake. JoaoRicardo^talk 22:04, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

No, not inappropriate; I was surprised by the wholesale edits. My apologies, and my thanks for your attention :) RadioKirk talk to me 22:26, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I hope I now have incorporated the best of both our ideas. Feel free to comment :) RadioKirk talk to me 23:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Indeed! I like the changes. ;-) I still think the article is a bit short, but it looks like there is not much more to be said. Have you watched the DVDs for her films? Maybe there are commentaries or making-of documentaries which can give more information. JoaoRicardotalk 02:55, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

The Poppins DVD, yes; the others I don't have. This appears to be the best we can do, for now. Thank you for your help! :D RadioKirk talk to me 03:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Flag of Mexico

I do not know if I met all of your objections yet, since me and others have editied it quite quickly. I was wondering if you wish to take a peek and see if I and the others missed anything. Zach ^{(Smack Back) Fair use policy} 08:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Codicil

I suppose I could have linked to the wiktionary article on codicil but this is somewhat incomplete and refers only to the 'amendment to a will' definition whereas the Wikipedia article is longer and more complete. It isn't a disambig page (although it looks like one), it is the most complete article on the subject. David | Talk 10:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I understand your reasons now, but I still believe we should encorage Wikipedia to contain only enyclopedia articles. Dictionary definitions should go to Wiktionary. I will strike my comment from the vote page. JoaoRicardo^talk 13:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metronome (disambiguation)

If you have a chance could you reaffirm whether you have an opinion on whether or keep or delete this article? Thanks! WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 02:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ILAS

Hi. For your information, newpages that are copyvios can now be speedied. Please read about it and see the procedure in WP:CSD. Regards,  Perfecto 05:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Perfecto. I was aware of this, but I thought it didn't apply in this case because it wasn't a commercial site. JoaoRicardo^talk 05:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Sefiros

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sefiros may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. JoaoRicardo^talk 05:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd rather this be incorporated into my user page than it be completely deleted. There's also the possibility that I will be signed to an independent record label very soon, so I don't know if that would make any difference to my notability. If and when it happens.

Sefiros 06:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

It seems someone was faster and already deleted it as a speedy delete. Deleted pages are not really erased from the server. They are still visible by administrators, so you can contact one of them and ask them to move the content to your user page. You can get the help of one of them through Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention. I will post a message to the administrator who deleted your page informing this, perhaps he can help. As for your notability, it's hard to say what would ascertain it. Signing with a record label may help, but it is also possible to be a notable musician releasing through the Internet only. That is better judged in a case by case basis. Anyway, I hope you stick here in Wikipedia. :-) JoaoRicardo^talk 12:10, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I've restored the page, still of course listed as a speedy, and copied the content to Sefiros. jimfbleak 17:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia: Article on Criollo (horse)

Hi Joao, I made some changes in the page I believe you started on the Criollo (Crioulo in Brazil) that I hope have been improvements in informing the general public about this admirable stock horse breed. If you have any questions regarding the changes I made feel free to contact me at rams@chileanhorse.com as I am rather new at this Wikipedia and dont fully understand how to establish a fluid communication on this format. I cant see myself checking in discussion pages very often. Anyway know my intentions have been good and I applaud your efforts to make the Criollo breed known. You do real well with your English and that too merits recognition since its your second language. If you have done any other posting related to horses or agriculture I will be glad to try and help in any way you's like. Brigado Randall —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Randallrayarms (talk • contribs) . [1]

Hi, Randall. I think you made a mistake. I did not create this article, and in fact I have never edited it. :-) It was created by someone not registered in Wikipedia, using the IP 68.221.127.155 (talk • contribs). Anyway, thanks for your comments! If you need any help, just leave me a note on my talk page. JoaoRicardo^talk 14:32, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of stubs from Ordinal Congresses

The articles on Ordinal Congresses (for example, Sixty-second United States Congress and Seventieth United States Congress) are in fact stubs. Or at least I think so. Wikipedia:Stubs says, "Another way to define a stub is an article so incomplete that an editor who knows little or nothing about the topic could improve its content after a superficial internet search or a few minutes in a reference library. " I think that describes most of those articles even though they have a lot of information.

If you agree with me, is there a way to put back all the stubs? (If you don't agree, then nevermind and… uh… keep up the good work.) —Mark Adler (markles) 21:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Mark, I was removing stub notices from articles listed at User:Bluemoose/Unstubby stubs. I thought the Congress articles were really lists, and that's why I removed the stub notices. Is there supposed to be more information there besides the names of congressmen? If that is the case, sorry, I didn't notice it. You can revert me in all articles if you think they really are stubs.

[edit] ArbCom

I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote on my ArbCom candidacy. I have placed some thoughts on this matter on my user page and would welcome your thoughts.--Edivorce 02:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAC

Hi Joao, I wanted to let you know that the Political integration of India is now FAC. I hope you will have some time to consider the work and give it an up or down vote. Please don't consider this soliciting - I'm requesting your participation. Thanks! Rama's Arrow 04:30, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3D Monster Maze

Thank you very much for your comments and help. Answers (and my further questions :-) ) await you on the PR entry; and also if you could contribute to the known questions raised on the article talk page, it would be great. I'm especially in need of advice on the language issues (peacock terms/2nd person). Even if you don't have more time to spend on this article, thank you very much again for what you've done so far. --BACbKA 12:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Memory Alpha

It looks like I'm not the first person to leave a message like this. :) Memory Alpha's article is up for featuring right now, and even though there is a rather long list posted by the user who objected, I think all of the problems in question have been addressed. Mind weighing in? Thanks! --Vedek Dukat ^Talk 22:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page name for temperature articles

To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Imperial Parrot

Imperial Parrot is a common name of the species. Be more careful with your edit ! Do not move any article without discussing first. See : Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds.--Stavenn 03:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD decision for November 22, 1963

Hi there. I noticed you closed this article's AfD with the "redirect" result. However, from 6 votes, 3 asked for the redirect to be created, and 3 asked for the deletion. Sorry for asking, but did I miss something? I thought policy asked for further discussion in these cases. JoaoRicardo^talk 23:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I used Rough consensus from the Admin deletion guidelines as my guide. Looking at the results, the debate was either to delete the page or to convert it in to a redirect - nobody wanted to keep the material. As I had participated in the discussion, I looked again at the nature of the page and the debate on AfD to determine which course of action to take. I took the view that the author was clearly looking to discuss the Kennedy assassination but had failed to do so in an adequate manner. Whilst I agree with NawlinWiki's comment that other important events aren't described in articles titled according to the date of the event, I thought that this date would be significant for the most recent three-or-four generations of Wikipedia users. Because of this, a redirect appeared to be an easier option than a deletion and with my change of mind a rough consensus was achieved, hence the decision.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  07:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I understand your position now. Thank you for clarifying me. :) JoaoRicardo^talk 18:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gedächtniskirche, Speyer

Have made a go of translating this very long article. I know its still a bit stilted in places, as I'm not an architectural expert, but its certainly better than it was. I have also merged it with another English article as well. Hope that helps! --Heidijane 11:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
