NuclearWinnerHi, regarding your moving botulinum toxin to botulin toxin: Why did you move it? The former term is far mor often used and is also the scientifically correct one (the bacterium is called "Clostridium botulinum", not "Clostridium botulin") (see, for example, this search: [http://search.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/query?MAX=500&SERVER1=server1&SERVER2=server2&PARAMETER=botulinum+toxin&DISAMBIGUATION=true&FUNCTION=search&x=15&y=7]) If there were specific reasons, please tell me, else I'll move it back. Best regards, User:Kosebamse 18:28, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC) ---- Having turned your anti-Semitism comment in Dorothy L Sayers more or less on its head, I consider it common courtesy to call your attention to the change. You may well consider that what I've done moves the emphasis too far to the other side of NPOV; but I urge any skeptic to compare the character of Sir Ruben Levy and his family with that of the American zillionaire in Whose Body -- or the American doctor in the Elopement story! There's certainly no Jew in her works as sinister as that SOB (which, alas, is more than I can say for Charles Williams). I hope we can avoid an edit war here. In fact, I wouldn't mind an off-Wikipedia exchange on one or two matters related to this. BTW the most accessible documents at present on the Future of the Jews essay are available only in proceedings of the Dorothy L Sayers Society or the LordPeter mailing list on Yahoo. Not highly accessible, you might say, and I would agree.

It is rather sketchy at the moment - any and all contributions welcome! User:Pcb21 23:22, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi. Re Bowhead Whale. *The agreed convention with bird articles is to use capitals with a lower case redirect. Whilst I would accept that there is no agreement for cetaceans, in practice nearly all the other cetacean articles are capitalised, and it seemed odd for Bowhead to be almost the only one using American lower case style - you will note that the link to Killer Whale was changed by someone else, presumably for the same reason. My cetacean book also uses caps. However, there is no formal agreement, so if you want to revert, I won't reverse it, although obviously I can't speak for others. ::(Apologies for butting in). The convention for birds was discussed in monumental detail (I believe on the mailing list in particular) and my feeling is that after that level of discussion surely the right decision was reached (although I am well aware of the dangers of decision by commitee!) and that that policy would transfer over to the cetaceans too. However given that Wikipedia:WikiProject Cetaceans (plug, plug!) is still at a very fledging state this is not an open and shut case. For example I wrote Minke Whale and several times in the article wrote 'Minkes are...' rather than 'a Minke Whale is'. This was copyedited so that it was 'Minke Whale' everywhere... however in the cetacean literature writing 'Bowheads are...' or 'Blues are' is very common. Indeed this is the practice of the ''Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals'', a learned tome indeed, is to make the contraction. I think we should use it on wikipedia. User:Pcb21 19:20, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC) *The Bowhead Whale is endangered globally. As a compromise, I'll change the reference to CITES, rather than list countries. You will agree that to say that it is classed as endangered in the US, Canada... is not particularly elegant. User:Jimfbleak 06:24, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC) ----- I see that you are interested in Sigmund Freud, as am I. Perhaps you could consider your recent reversions to this article. As you know, Wiki says that "In general a revert is the advised action to deal with vandalism." If work does not meet your approval, yet is not vandalism, you might want to consider editing it to improve it. I'm certainly looking forward to any improvements you may make. User:NuclearWinner : I deleted the quote because I felt it was trite and did not add much of value to the article. It didn't help that it was a somewhat unimpressive source (looked like it was just some easy to cut and paste criticism). Of course, criticism is allowed, but I think the current introduction contains enough and it's probably better to interprerse representative views on Freud's theories throughout the article. As far as the revert goes, I'm a big believer in Strunk & White: "delete unnecessary words" (that may be a paraphrase). In Wikipedia, I think sometimes the best edit option is deletion. I certainly did not mean to imply that your changes were vandalism, though. User:Daniel Quinlan ----- Please see my talk page for the language stuff. User:David.Monniaux 16:21, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC) ---- Je viens juste de lire ton commentaire sur la page de David. Je souhaitais juste te dire bonjour en passant. Rien d'autre :-) User:Anthere ---- Hi from Adrian in England, I don't what your reaction will be but I've removed your Accident Rating for Egyptair. I have no connection whatever with the airline but this rating does not appear in any other airline article so I think it's appearance here is too selective. If you disagree just put that bit back in, I won't mind. Best Wishes, User:Arpingstone 19:16, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC) ---- Hi -- in the AirTran article, your link points to "http://www.airsafetyonline.com/safetycenter/reportcard.shtml" which gives me an error that I'm not authorized to view the page. Merci pour ton mot sur ma pge NuclearWinner. Oui, tu avais oublié de me répondre, mais ce n'est pas grave :-) Mes intérêts...Wikipédia beaucoup. Avant. Probablement moins maintenant. Tu es le bienvenu pour nous rendre visite de temps en temps sur la wiki française :-) User:Anthere ---- I compressed your photo for you. BMP isn't exactly the best image format for the WWW. -- User:Tim Starling 04:01, Oct 20, 2003 (UTC) :The problem with BMP is that at best it's only compressed with RLE, which for photos is no better than uncompressed. Your photo was 300K, which would have taken about 1-1.5 minutes to download over a modem. Compressed with JPEG, it was about 9K, or 2-3 seconds download time. And I do have a photo displayed on my homepage [http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/~tstarling/half%20decent%20picture%20of%20me.jpg] ;) -- User:Tim Starling 00:29, Oct 21, 2003 (UTC) == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer.
