Honorifics

Hi, thanks for alerting me to Kinnock, now removed. There was a somewhat heated discussion in which the majority agreed to move honorifics from the header to somewhere else in the article as per the standard in the other mainstream reference works. I have been moving it to the image caption but it could also be explained in the article when the honorific was obtained by that person. Thanks Arniep 00:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Odd and even square numbers

Hello. Please note that starting the last three of these words with capital initial letters is incorrect by Wikipedia conventions (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

But I also wonder about the content of the section. Could it be that you meant that even numbers have even square roots, rather than that they have even squares The latter is correct and is what you wrote, but it fails to parallel the next sentence. The former is incorrect without a qualification: it should say even square numbers have even square roots. Michael Hardy 19:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, now I've changed the section so that it makes sense. Michael Hardy 19:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

RFA vote

I just noticed your vote on Computerjoe's current RFA. It's all about Joturner. Did you mean to put it in Computerjoe's section? FreplySpang 14:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that was dumb of me. I've fixed it now. Thanks for letting me know. Captainj 14:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Practical Joke

Don't Worry, even I sometimes fall for it. Raichu 14:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

BS

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! My first barnstar! Raichu 22:58, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Not the case

"My impression on the RFA page itself was that some Muslim editors voted for, and some against- is that not the case?"

I'm not omniscient in this regard, but to my knowledge, that is not the case - all who showed supported. For whatever it's worth.Timothy Usher 04:04, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

What's your problem with Aryan Anarchism, Guv?

Thank you for taking the trouble to remind me of the three-revert rule. However I find some of the remarks you made on my talk page less than appropriate, and wonder why you chose to make them. You state that the term Aryan Anarchism "does seem non-notable" and even remark that there was no citation on the Anarchism page, when the information was sourced to a book published by the Guru Nanak Dev University Press. You further talk about putting the material on another page, which would indicate that you have chosen to involve yourself in this debate in a somewhat officious manner without looking at the substantial work which has gone into the pages on Ghadar Party, Lala Hardayal, Komagata Maru, Hindu German Conspiracy Trial, Shyamji Krishnavarma, Bhai Parmanand by myself and others. No doubt you are a very busy person, but if you could find a few moments to consider the discussions on these pages before butting in, perhaps you might care to alter your view. Why do you suggest that we should use avoid use of the term anarchism in describing a phenomenon which very clearly is a variant of anarchism. How can this word be avoided, when it is so clearly necessary? No concensus has been reached upon the talk page. What had become clear was that many people have displayed their ignorance on the topic, and even become quite abusive. Indeed I don't know what to make of you remark that "adding content which has at best a very tenous link to anarchism isn't helpful" when clearly the link is very important, even if it makes some "anarchists" feel uncomfortable. Yes it is true that the Ghadar Party did have what could be called an anti-English, or even anti-White attitude, and maybe that is what some English or White anarchists feel uncomfortable about. But perhaps they need to reassess their stand point rather than mobilising an array of forces to prevent the anarchism page from truly reflecting the impact of anarchism amongst Punjabi immigrants to the Pacific Coast of Canada and the USA.

Posted on User: Harrypotter's talk page by User:Captainj Thank you for your post. I had been assuming good faith, and am still trying, but you are beginning to appear to me as if you might be POV pushing. This article is about Anarchism. It isn't about Ghadar Party, Lala Hardayal, Komagata Maru, Hindu German Conspiracy Trial, Shyamji Krishnavarma, Bhai Parmanand. I have no interest in these articles (though if I get a chance I may well check they are NPOV now). Since Wikipedia is does not self-reference, it would be most helpful to focus on Anarchism, where incidentally I had already posted comments on the talk page under another section - so I did not involve myself officiously. If you are interested in Anarchy it would be helpful to read the other recent comments on the talk page, and not just focus on one part. Any further content, unless it is amazing and fantastic, to the Anarchism page is unhelpful since it is far too long already (see WP:SIZE). The page is 69Kb long, when no more than 30kb is recommended (as I already posted on the talk page). I am really not interested in discussing this further here. The most appropriate place is the talk page. If people haven't been civil to you then report them for violating WP:CIVIL (and you certainly seem more civil than them). I am cross posting this to my my talk page and the Anarchism talk page. Please reply at Anarchism talk if you want to talk about the article, revisions etc. Thanks Captainj 23:19, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Backlog

Hiya! I've made an edit to your userpage and am leaving a note to explain why:

Your userpage showed up as a member of category: Category:Wikipedia backlog

When linking to a category, as opposed to adding a page to that category, please insert a colon before the word "Category". This prevents your page from becoming part of that category.

If you have any questions on this action, please feel free to ask me on my talk page!

Thanks! ~Kylu (u|t) 21:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Thanks

Captainj/Archive1, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again! Cool3 talk 20:16, 2 June 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

Siva1979 RfA

Hello! I hope you are feeling great. I have answered the questions you have given me for my RfA. Hope it is to your satisfaction. If you are not satisfied with my replies, I hope you would be able to reveal to me where I have gone wrong and I would then be able to make the necessary improvements in the future. Thanks once again. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 04:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

A haiku of thanks

Thanks for your support

In my RfA, which passed!

Wise I'll try to be.

My RfA

Thank you for the trust that you had in me when you supported my Request for Adminship. The nomination ended successfully and I am actually overwhelmed by the support that I received. Thanks again! -- Kim van der Linde ^{at venus} 07:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Deletion review and FAST - Fighting Antisemitism Together

Thank you for reminding me about Wikipedia:Deletion review. I have posted my AfD message there, as you suggested. TruthbringerToronto 11:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Honorifics (again)

You say there is no need for this self-ref, yet as recently as March this year, you yourself were not au fait with the MOS reference (John Major). You were asking User:Arniep for a reference. At least if you clicked through to the Rt. Hon article you would have found the reference if the self-ref was there. Still not convinced ? Frelke 18:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

That sounds like an excellent compromise. I'll do it. Frelke 19:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Captainj, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member, you might be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee, Titoxd, JoanneB, and Freakofnurture.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact me by my talk page, Celestianpower by email or talk page, or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users on our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, please see the IRC Tutorial, which was written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to be!

Thanks! G.He 00:04, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
