== City wiithout busses ==
One example is Bozeman, Montana. There are many others in the United States with only a dial-a-ride. User:Sjakkalle 10:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:Fair enough, but some "cities" have less than 10 people and without enough people to ''ride'' if anyone is going to drive it. I agree that it is not really relevant to the vfd-debate. While I do disagree with your delete vote, I realize that this list article probably has a weak case and I will not be to sorry to see it go. In general, I am slightly inclusionist in vfd-debates, being influenced by seeing my first article being posted there. User:Sjakkalle 11:27, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
==Thanks==
Thanks for supporting my adminship nomination :) --User:Petaholmes 11:52, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
== Schoolwatch ==
The WP:W Schoolwatch page was set up by me as an example and an attempt to stop some of the arguments about the existing schoolwatch page. I don't mind what you do to it - play around, edit it and if people don't like it they'll discuss it with you, no problem. Cheers, User:VioletrigaUser_talk:violetriga 17:27, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
== Geo stubs ==
Hi AY, those articles were marked as stubs simply because they looked small to me. Some of these community articles are bound to be short though I guess. In general, you might want to add something about the years of founding, some significant events, the local govt., maybe even map coordinates. Come to think of it, an Australian communties info box might help people from just slapping stub on it. Regards, User:Fawcett5 11:54, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
== Traralgon==
I added it then removed it as its now part of the broader Latrobe City which is already on the list. Cheers.User:Andypasto 08:25, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
== Towns in VIC ==
Hi, ok, sorted out now. I'll fix up the three articles, and make a stub of Moe to be improved by someone later. Thanks for the help, --User:Chammy Koala 11:01, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
== Eucalyptus Photos ==
Hi
Other than adding that the photos were taken at Swifts Creek Victoria (which IMO wouldn't be adding much to the caption) I couldn't tell you any more about the trees other than they are pretty much all are what is commonly called "white box".

==About Sunbul Effendi page==
Hello. Unfortunately I cannot offer any opinion about the worthiness of this page. Though, being Turkish, I am not religious at all, and certainly have no idea about the significance of a given sheikh of Sufi order. Regards, -- User:AtoUser talk:Ato 08:51, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
==Thank You==
Hello, thank you for your consideration about my page, and as much as I am thankful for your help, my main concern is keeping my page up. So if u support the page, please post a comment on the deletion page. Thank you very much User:Twister3328
==Bushfire and edit summaries==
Regarding ''"remove reference to B52 song - not relevant to article"'', I would like to point out that many articles have small sections on unrelated topics of the same name that eventually become split out into separate articles. I don't really care about the B-52 reference, but I don't think your line of reasoning there should be extended to most of the remaining articles. ... Other than that, thanks for writing detailed edit summaries! User:Rl 11:05, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
==VfD weirdness==
It was my last edit of the day. I was well tired. Thanks for spotting the stray edit. ;) -- User:Longhair | User talk:Longhair 02:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

==Arbitration==
FYI, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#User:Internodeuser has been opened on user User:Internodeuser -- User:Longhair | User talk:Longhair 10:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
:Thank you for updating the evidence page I am compiling against this user. It looks as though the matter will be accepted by the ArbCom and dealt with accordingly. I thank you for your efforts in combating nuisance behaviours and your support with stamping it out. Keep up the great contributions. -- User:Longhair | User talk:Longhair 03:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
==:Image:Richard I of England - Palace of Westminster - 24042004.jpg==
Most odd. Someone removed the GFDL I'd put on this image upon uploading it [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Richard_I_of_England_-_Palace_of_Westminster_-_24042004.jpg&action=history]. Go figure. Thanks for alerting me to it, and also for the gallery tag ... I was by now vaguely aware of it, but have not employed it anywhere, largely 'cos it would be a pest to reformat my pages using it. It's handy now to have an example on my talk pages; I think I'll get around to using it when I summon enough energy to transfer all the GFDL images to the Commons. I've fixed the tag on Richard 1, btw. best wishes --User:TagishsimonUser_talk:Tagishsimon
== Indian Railways ==
The Indian Railways is the current INCOTW and your vote helped select it. Let's all now make it up to featured status.

== Laborite ==
Just like to know for the Joe Lyons article why you changed Laborite to Labor Party member I mean I find it much preferrable to refer to an ALP member as Laborite rather than Labor Party member.
I personally use the initials ALP over "Labor" since The Australian Labor Party is its official name.--User:The Shadow Treasurer 01:06, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
In response to your last message do I take it you avoid referring to the Republican Party in the States as GOP and the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, LDP since they are both well known internationally.--User:The Shadow Treasurer 04:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:Fame_and_importance#No: ''User:Jimbo Wales - 'fame' and 'importance' are not the right words to use, they are merely rough approximations to what we're really interested in, which is verifiability and NPOV. I understand and appreciate where people are coming from on the 'Yes' vote, but feel that they will only get the unanimity necessary in a wiki environment if they rephrase the issue in those terms. Consider an obscure scientific concept, 'Qubit Field Theory' -- 24 hits on google. I'd say that not more than a few thousand people in the world have heard of it, and not more than a few dozen understand it. (I certainly don't.) It is not famous and it is arguably not important, but I think that no one would serious question that it is valid material for an encyclopedia. What is it that makes ''this'' encyclopedic? It is that it is information which is verifiable and which can be easily presented in an NPOV fashion. (Though perhaps only as a stub, of course, since it's very complicated and not many people would know how to express it clearly in layperson's terms.)''
