-- User:Infrogmation 17:14, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==Cardigan bay== I have removed the launch of this ship again from the 2005 page. Please do not restore, we can't have such minor trivia as the launch of every ship (military or not) in the world or else the page will get ridiculously big. And only including the launch of some English ships makes the page anglo-centric and thus POV.User:Psychobabble 07:10, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Edmund Hillary == Actually, in the mtns the noun "guide" doesn't imply, or limit to, the verb in the sense i understand you as objecting to; "expert companion" might be a better term. But your edit points up a source of confusion. For now, after "reverting" from your version to the previous one, i'm going to create a link to ~~a new~~ the "guide" article, tho in the long run we may need to use ~~in fact~~ a : ~~Mountain guide~~ Guide#Mountaineering link to get the right nuance. (What i did here was use "show preview" several times, and then preserve my first draft in the same way i would have if i had saved it before finding out (by the link being blue rather than red) that we already ''have'' a "guide" article.) You've also drawn my attention to the possible need for a Wikipedia:disambiguation article (or "dab") to cover Sherpas * as the ethnic group, * as the guides you hire (in Nepal, usually ethnic Sherpas) in contrast to the porters (probably also Sherpas, my guess is), and * as mentors (not usually of Sherpa ethnicity) in other situations (perhaps with implications about things such Sherpas do that typical mentors don't). If you don't have "Watch this page" set as the default in your Preferences, you might want to go back to the article and click that link; you'll probably find the activity i hope will follow interesting in general, and educational about the WP process. Thanks for highlighting a problem, even tho i didn't like your (first) solution. Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages doesn't look or always feel efficient, but the results are pretty good.
--User:JerzyUser talk:Jerzy 18:40, 2005 Jan 7 (UTC) ==Agnes Dunbar 4th Countess of Moray== Redirects from common/likely misspellings (or alternate spellings) are left (when created by Moving pages), or even created, as redirects to help people using the "Go" or "Search" button find the article at the correct location. It also helps prevent people from creating a duplicate article at the misspelling/alternate spelling. For example, note the redirs to Miskito[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Miskito] (actually, it should probably have more), or to Mahatma Gandhi[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Mahatma_Gandhi]. The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Redirect#What_do_we_use_redirects_for.3F. User:Niteowlneils 01:02, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC) == Prince Harry == Hi. Please do not vandalize this article (or any other for that matter), or else you may be WP:BAN from further editing. User:Rdsmith4 02:38, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC) :Sorry, I mistook you for another editor who added the Nazi comment to the article directly before you edited it. User:Rdsmith4 16:31, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC) == How to sign == Hi Pat, I noticed your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Serbian_Greek_Empire&diff=9425786&oldid=9420574 vote], where you signed as PatGallacher (a page that doesn't exist). Perhaps you're unaware of the easy way to sign: just type ~~~~. Cheers, User:Dbenbenn | User talk:Dbenbenn 07:01, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==Princess Elizabeth of Clarence== Thanks for making the corrections on this page. I had forgotten to include the Duke of York when working out her position in the succession. User:Astrotrain 19:46, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC) ==Wee Wee Frees== Sorry, Pat. I thought somebody was taking the piss (pun intended)! I did read on and saw my mistake. User:Tiles 07:25, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==Duke of Rothesay== Does the law actually say that? I'm making an issue of this because the Duke of Cornwall is given to the son of the reigning monarch, but not necessarily to the heir apparent. I wanted some opinion of whether the Duke of Rothesay was the same. -User:Acjelen 05:07, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Zola Budd== Your edits are helpful for providing better context, and appreciated. Your boldness and poetic license are welcome, as is the NPOVing removal of the word "venom". Good catch; it had barely raised a flag before. However, introduction of "poison chalice", while apparently accurate, may present the same problem as venom did. Thanks for the help. User:Ombudsman 23:48, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Vanunu elected== The post of Lord Rector has absolutely no international significance. It would be appreciated if you could cease re-inserting Vanunu's election to it into the year pages. User:Psychobabble 22:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC) == Deir Yassin == See http://www.etzel.org.il/english/ac17.htm, http://www.zoa.org/pubs/DeirYassin.htm, http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/deir_yassin.html, http://www.freeman.org/m_online/may98/bedein.htm, http://www.theraphi.com/da/april/18.html and of course stage five in http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/deir_yassin.html. While the loss of non-combatants is regrettable in any war, the fact that the Arabs deliberately hid among civilians, opened fire from within civilian crowds and pretended to be dead and then ambushed Irgun solders (foreshadowing present day events) places the blame for the non-combatant casualites squarely on Arab fighters, not the Irgun. Indeed, a truck with a loudspeaker was deployed to warn Arab civilians of the coming attack (thereby forgoing the advantage of surprise). Irgun fighers were given strict orders to not harm the elderly, woman and children, and took any Arab who surrended prisoner, as opposed to the Arabs who would execute anyone who surrendered to their forces. Arab eyewitnessess claim that there was no massacre, and that the majority of Arab non-combantants were serving in a support role to the Arab forces, and thereby legimate targets. Many Arabs openly admit that the so-called "Deir Yassing" massacre was used as a tool to support invading Arab armies, and not represenation of true fact. I sincerely hope that you will look deeper into this issue, and come to realize that in every war their are innoccents harmed, but in this case everything was done that could reasonably minimize this unfortunate occurrence. Regards, :User:MSTCrow 15:32, May 20, 2005 (UTC) == Wars of Scottish Independence == :''Copied from Talk:Wars of Scottish Independence:'' :I feel this article needs cleanup, for 2 reasons. Firstly, the term First War of Independence is normally used for the Wallace period and Second War of Independence for the Bruce period. I have never seen the term Second War of Independence used for the Balliol wars before. I also suggest creating an article "Disputed Scots Succession of 1290-92" since this is a complex issue, at present information of various accuracy and detail is spread between various articles, this one and biographies of the leading figures. I might do that myself, but before that I ought to check the definitive biography of Bruce. User:PatGallacher 16:39, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC) *Have you done anything further with an article ''Disputed Scots Succession of 1290-92''? *If so—or if you have any further thoughts about cleanup of this article—please leave comments on either the Talk:Wars of Scottish Independence or the Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Wars of Scottish Independence for the article. :Thanks - User:WHaggett 12:37, 21 May 2005 (UTC) == Common usage == Perhaps you could write an article about common usage and then the dozens of century articles could link to it. --User:Brunnock 11:41, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC) == 19th century == I would be appreciative if you would participate in the Talk:19th century before reverting my edits. --User:Brunnock 20:42, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
