Henry Kissinger
editPlease explain your edit here http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Henry_Kissinger&oldid=318485341 . There certainly isn't any NPOV issues and there's nothing in the guidelines about not having a list of a few quotes in articles. Vexorg (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with Vexorg. I like the inclusion of quotations, and I don't see how showing them expresses a point of view. I'm open to an explanation, however. Lou Sander (talk) 18:24, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Your explanation on my talk page changed my mind. It looks like you were just doing it the way it's supposed to be done. Good work. BTW, I "get" your NPOV point, but I thought the quotations just illustrated toughness. Lou Sander (talk) 02:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello Bonewan. I've declined the speedy deletion nomination of Rob Lilwall, as I consider the subject to be notable. Check the article again, please, and take it to AfD, if you disagree. Thank you. --Vejvančický (talk) 15:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I have removed the db tag you put on this article, because A7 doesn't apply here - this article is about a word, not an organisation. There is good advice about speedy tagging from an experienced admin at WP:A7M and WP:10CSD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Speedy Delete
editHi Bonewah, thanks for the tip, i've just turned on the twinkle. Best Darigan (talk) 15:34, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Good call, I've deleted it as G10/hoax as the sources were all fake. Well spotted. ϢereSpielChequers 19:04, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Mine categories
editHi Bonewah, can I ask you to stop recategorising articles involving ships and mines for the moment, and drop by a discussion I've opened here? If you are deprecating one category in favour of the other, a merger needs to be discussed at WP:CFD, not by replacing one category with the other until one is empty. Benea (talk) 18:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Quoting Categories in talkpages
editDear Bonewah
Here's a top tip, which took me years to work out: when describing a category in a talkpage don't write [[Category:whatever]], since it places the talkpage in the category! Instead, write [[:Category:whatever]] (with a colon inserted before the word "Category"). I've made the appropriate changes to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ships#Ships_and_mines, which no longer appears in Category:Ships damaged by naval mines or Category:Ships sunk by mines!

Edit-warring
editPlease see this report. You seem to be engaged in a back-and-forth "slow" edit-war. Please stop and discuss the issue with other editors. If you're at an impasse, then involve some of the other editors on the talk page - certainly the article is watched by a lot of people who may be able to help generate a consensus one way or the other. If the slow edit-warring continues, then you may be blocked from editing. MastCell Talk 21:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Bonewah
Can you tell me how to enter a translation? We are translating a page into Korean. I had a little experience here a while back but have forgotten how to do anything. I don't even know that I am doing this right. I need to know how to post a page in Korean and referencing the images in the English version. Any help will be severely appreciated. Danke —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stormport (talk • contribs) 07:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Bonewah, Thank you for your response and the formatting tip. I will do as you say and ask someone who does translations... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stormport (talk • contribs) 20:31, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
