Am I kicked off the Wikiproject?

Hey Fbv65edel, am I somehow kicked off the Wikiproject? You're the second person to have removed my name. Sandpiper did it at first, and I'm sure it was accidental, but now that you've done it as well, I wonder if you guys have somehow decided that my name be left off the roster. One accident is one thing, but two accidents made by the same person is another. --Deathphoenix ʕ 05:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

NP, it's just that it's odd when it happens twice in a row... :-P --Deathphoenix ʕ 06:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Images on Harry Potter Wikiproject

I don't know what you're talking about. Could you explain?--CJ King 21:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I understand now. Yes, I think that would be a great thing to do.--CJ King 22:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The 'blind idiot' remark was addressed to Reaves, who perversely failed to notice an obvious change in the spelling of 'defence' to 'defense' (despite my pointedly having flagged up 'Americanisms' as my reasoning). It was unnecessarily rude of me, I know - blame that on my holiday having ended (and a dispute regarding the Capets). However, given the constant stream of 'corrections' every day which, well intentioned or not, are infuriating and time wasting, this bizarre little episode of Americanized spelling was hardly going to make me react well. As for Han: given that I had said something like "Defence is spelled with a 'c', not a 's'" and given that 'defence' was so spelled in every other countless instance in the article, how do you expect me to react? Although, had Reaves not been reverting me in the first place, there would have been no reason for Han to suspect my spelling...Michaelsanders 02:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

And for the record, I get very annoyed by the conflation of 'Britain' and 'England'. I am more Welsh than English, and more Russian than both. British is the only label that covers it all. Michaelsanders 02:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Popups

I noticed you used navigation popups to revert back several versions. How do you do that? So far, I can only revert back one revision. If I want to go back further, I have to manually do it through the history. John Reaves 04:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

That worked, thanks. John Reaves 06:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Help Me

I got your message about the Narnia Wikiproject, and have added myself to the list on the page.
I am unsure where to put this:{{User Narnia-WP}}, and also unsure as to what i can do for the project.
I know quite a bit about Narnia, and some of the casting process for Prince Caspian, which I have been auditioned in, and I help to run a Narnia Fan Site (http://www.narniafans.com)

Re: Gender debates on Narnian creatures

I didn't realize you had added a prod, I replaced it, as I felt it still hadn't fixed the problems, but an AfD is probably better: I've started it here: feel free to add a co-nom, I quoted your prod. reasoning. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 20:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

"I admire anybody who puts their heart into learning more than three or four." This is what your statement initially reads. Seeing that you claim you are "a big grammarian." I took the liberty of correcting your statement to read "I admire anybody who puts his or her heart into learning more than three or four." I just wanted to let you know in case you intentionally created this error, and you wanted to keep it that way. --Willy101 19:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah I see my comment is irrelevant. I should have read further; sorry to be an inconvenience. Although I'm glad I was able to help you albeit, accidentally. Enjoy.--Willy101 07:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Narnia

Thanks very much for the heads up on the Narnia WikiProject. I edit Wikipedia in my spare time, so I'm not sure how regularly I'd be able to contribute to the project (not to mention that I haven't actually read the Narnia books in several years, so my memory of the details of the story is a bit fuzzy), but I'll certainly check on the articles back from time to time and make whatever improvements I can. Take care. Finduilas 09 21:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter fan fiction

Hi. I'm really surprised by your action at this article. It wasn't being bold. It was going against policy. You've been here long enough to know that on well-established articles, contentious major changes should be discussed first. You could either have led a discussion at the talk page, or slapped on a merge tag. I've restored the article. --Dweller 10:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I've started a discussion

at Harry Potter fan fiction and your input would be much appreciated! Thanks, Labrt2004 12:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Piers Polkiss

Hi,

How come you reverted the page I did on Piers Polkiss back to a basic redirect to the exhaustive list of Harry Potter characters ?

Surely its better that as many characters as possible have a page to themselves ?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tectar (talk • contribs) 00:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

Piers Polkiss

Cheers for your reply - that makes sense - I'll just add a couple of lines to his entry on the main list of characters page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tectar (talk • contribs) 12:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

Re: User talk:74.241.180.14

Your message has been received and understood. However, I feel I must point out that the editions made could be said to be constructive, in that it removed openly profane vandalism from the entry. If there is an alternative action to take in light of discovering further such vandalisms, I would be delighted to hear it; I thoroughly enjoy the Wikipedia and cannot abide people who maliciously overwrite entries for no better reason than their own immaturity. Thank you. -Concerned User

Thanks for adding that welcome message onto my Talk page, since it was pretty much empty till you did so. Infact, it's STILL pretty much empty aside from your message, but atleast it has something on it. Yengkit19 03:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

re: User:Gr8estwolflover

At first, I thought it was simply a poorly written mistake. However, after I redirected it, I saw the user had actually edited the real Maugrim to state he didn't die. If I had seen that first, I would have deleted as db-nonsense per your tagging. I've gone ahead and deleted it as {{db-redirtypo}} as I think it's pretty clear it wasn't in good faith. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 01:51, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about the blocked user

It is confuSing, especially when there is no TEST3 OR test4 or blocked message. It is understandable, though if an admin sees a spree of obvious vandalism to just block them. Jerry lavoie 04:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I clicked on Sue Upton and found that you have pointed it to Leaky Cauldron.

Why?

Tobias

Unless the Notable list includes 50 or 50 more worthies, and if HM's Distinguished Alumni Award winners are listed that would be enough, then Tobias isn't worthy of mention.

Importance rating of Horace Mann School on WPNYC

Hey Chris, not too much to debate over, but I rated Horace Mann based on the rating for Talk:Stuyvesant High School, which is High. HM and Stuyvesant are generally considered equal schools in real life, so I would suggest that they be kept equal in importance on Wikipedia too. Any thoughts? --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 02:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I rated Mann at mid-level for WPNYC due to the fact that it is a private school. IMO, Stuyvesant is more important to WPNYC since it is public, at top-tier ranking, and its original building is on the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission list of designated landmarks. [1] Both schools do rank high-importance on the WikiProject Schools grading scheme, and I would endorse that ranking as the one that should be equal. If you disagree with my reasoning, feel free to change it. Just consider what else is in the Category:High-importance New York City articles, and whether Mann fits with that level of importance to WPNYC. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 04:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
