Deleting a sentence

I noticed that you changed the article about Clemens Kalischer. I had put that he lived in Massachusetts (which is true). You felt it necessary to remove that. For your information he is my grandfather so I should know. Email me at akc123cheese@hotmail.com if you want to discuss this deletion or just add to this page under my writing.

I did not do that change. It was done by SCEhardt --- Skapur 03:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

It's spelled "tip"

not "typ".[1] Argyriou (talk) 01:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC) ok. --- Skapur 01:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

A longish article can yet be a stub

On this edit of yours: if you simply look at the article, you'll immediately get the impression that it's a lot more than a stub; but if you ponder what it actually consists of, I think you'll agree that it's a mere stub with lists attached. The lists may be good (I hope they are, as I did a lot of the work on them), but the body of the article is unaffected by them. -- Hoary 07:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

The proper tag for this article would the {{expand}} tag rather than a stub tag. --- Skapur 16:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps it would. But consider all the effort that goes into, and the benefits from, "stub-sorting". {{expand}} undoes all of that, unless perhaps there's a capability for {{t1|expand|photographer}} etc. that I haven't noticed. -- Hoary 22:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Help with sailing vocabulary?

Hi Skapur, as I've read that your an (English-speaking) sailor, could you help me with the following question? What is the English word for the "harness" worn on sailing ships to prevent people from falling overboard (or off the ratlines etc.)? Is it "lifebelt", can it be "lifebelt" even though a different word is more common, or is "lifebelt" plain wrong, and that harness is actually called something different? Thanks in advance. Generally, is there a forum on the English Wikipedia where sailing-related questions can be asked? Thanks. --Ibn Battuta 00:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I am actually more of a motorboater than a sailor but "Harness" seems like the correct word. See http://www.google.com/search?q=sailing+harness and the first link is to a manufacturer. Also see http://www.sailingusa.info/sailing_safety.htm for general safety, they use the word "Safety harness", search for this in the text and the surrounding information (look for the words: safety line, jackline and lifeline). You may want to find a sailing school or sailing supply store near you. The people there are quite knowledgeable about these topics. --- Skapur 00:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try my luck! --Ibn Battuta 02:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Reina

I removed the tag, but only after cleaning it up, looks much better now, SqueakBox 03:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I tried to clean up myselff but just do not know enough about the topic to do it properly. --- Skapur 03:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Lukas19

Thanks for vote of confidence. I have had a few run-ins with Lukas19. I notice others have as well. Lately he started telling me how American whites were not as pure as whites in Europe. He also claimed he could tell anyone who had even a tiny amount of black heritage by sight. He also claimed that the US government standards on race were not of any value since he, as a Norwegian teenager, does not "recognize" their validity (being the great authority he is). He also called me stupid several times and ignorant on the talk pages, apparently for not agreeing with him. Once it was because I could not find a quote in a sea of crap on the talk page. One of the quotes that he claims I made I cannot even find on the talk page at all. Probably a mistake. I do notice that when I admitted I had made a mistake, he attacked me as stupid however. He also gave me two references, one which supported his position and one which refuted it (he thought they both supported his position I suspect). When this was pointed out, he claimed that the authors of the article that did not support his position were incompetent and did not know the literature as well as he did (even though this was a Nature publication and came after the paper which supported his position). He rants, he raves, he huffs he puffs. It gets a bit tiresome after a while however. I suspect he is heading for trouble unless he can clean up his act and control himself. --Filll 22:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thulean/Lukas19

I see that you are one of the roughly 10 people who has had trouble with this user Lukas19 in about a one month period. I have noticed a disturbing pattern. Take a look at his talk page for more details.--Filll 23:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

"Vote Hezbollah → Muslimgauze" and archiving this talk page

what are you going to do with this debate in Wikipedia:redirects for discussion/Log/2006 December 3? Most debates are closed as of right now, and yet there aren't any more votes this time.

Also, your talk page is getting too large. Rather than removing everything, would you like to create an archived page? --Gh87 23:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Error using AWB

hello, when you removed stub tag from long article using AWB (on article Croatia at the 1996 Summer Olympics) you also removed (by accident?) all links for sports, I fixed that --Ivelimir 11:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually links in section headers are discouraged and AWB automatically removes them . See the Manual of style section on this topic at :Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(headings)#Linking. Also it interferes with the "my preferences"'s "Editing" tab checkbox: "Enable section editing by right-clicking on section titles (JavaScript)" --- Skapur 16:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

When is a stub not

Hi. Noticed that sometimes u unstub articles I've worked on, and was wondering how you know when it ceases to be a stub? Is there a "rule of thumb"? Seasalt 11:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You may want to look at WP:Stub for the guidelines and rule of thumbs about stubs. The Moto Morini article I destubbed is definitely not a stub. Also the yearly Isle of Man TT articles that were long are not stubs. The rule of thumb that I end up using as a practical matter is that I normally look to see if it exceeds at least 800 words and as per WP:Stub#Removing_stub_status I am bold in removing the stub tag. There are other more appropriate templates like the expand template for those articles. I am sorry if I removed the stub tag on a short article. Can you pleaes give me an example so that I am more vigilant in the future? Thank you --- Skapur 15:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

You made no mistake, I just wondered what the criteria was, so I could unstub at the appropriate point in an article. From the look of my watchlist tonight you just went thru the lot. Oh well, for future articles....thanx. Seasalt 10:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Removal of stub - request for category

Hi, if you remove a book-stub template, as you did to The Examined Life, would you mind replacing it with a Category:Books for the articles where no subcategory of books is already on the article?

If you don't, the information that "this is a book" is no longer available to people who scan for such things. --Alvestrand 21:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

about Removal of stub on Melissa Farley

May I request that the "Stub" notation be reinstated on this article.

It is currently rated as such by the WikiProject Biography (please see Talk:Melissa Farley page). Also an examination of the article will show that the actual article itself is very short and that the page mostly consists of an extensive bibliography of articles written or contributed to by Ms. Farley. CyntWorkStuff 22:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Done --- Skapur 22:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks CyntWorkStuff 22:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Juana Azurduy de Padilla

Hi, I'm writing about the article Juana Azurduy de Padilla. I noticed that you removed the stub tags from the article on the basis that it was "long", but I really disagree with the idea that a mere paragraph constitutes a "long article". A paragraph very short for say, an article in a newspaper or a journal, and it is also very short for an encyclopedia entry. I'd keep the stubs until the article reaches at least three paragraphs in length. Asarelah 03:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

OK. I see the problem. The article is long if you count the commeted out Spanish text. --- Skapur 04:13, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Occulting Light

Do you have a reference for the use of occulting lights on buoys? My understanding is that occulting lights are always on lighthouses. Buoys depend on batteries and solar cells for power, and generally don't have the power available to run an occulting light -- they use low duty cycle flashers to preserve electrical power. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You make a very good point. Actually occulting lights are a very small fraction of all lights to begin with (There are none on the Missisipi river system). However, there is nothing that prevents one from existing on a buoy. I could find very few on a buoy. Examples are lights # 29255 (Oc G 4s) and 29260 (Oc R 4s) in Hawaii's Kalihi Channel in the fourteenth district in http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pubs/LightLists/V6Complete%5B2%5D.pdf BUT you can find them on the "Fictitious nautical chart" in every USCG lights list (page 30 of http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pubs/LightLists/Ref2005W.pdf) is an example, of an occulting buoy (R "4" Oc R 6s). --- Skapur 02:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Erroneous 3RRV report

You have incorrectly placed a 3RR violation report for me. It only depicts three reverts of the same material. I assume this is due to an honest misunderstanding on your part about Wikipedia:3RR, however the standard is 4 reverts in 24 hours of the same material. Please delete the 3RRV. Fourdee 03:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I will let an administrator decide that. --- Skapur 05:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Would you care to explain why you are taking issue with the reverts? The other user appeared to just be vandalizing the page. Fourdee 08:11, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

It is a content dispute and not vandalism. --- Skapur 16:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

The admin disagreed. Fourdee 20:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

OK. That is why I left it up to the admin to decide. It looked like a revert war and revert wars are not good for WP. --- Skapur 21:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Persons/people

You recently added comments to the discussion on the Person article, supporting my objection to User:Lucy-marie's changing of 'persons' to 'people' without justification. You also suggested, I think not seriously, that the article should be split into two - one for British English and one for American English. Having received one comment supporting her, from a friend, she has done precisely that so that there are now two new pages Person (British English), Person (American English) and the original Person page has been made a REDIRECT to Person (disambiguation). At the head of the discussion page for each new article, she has written "The page was created to resolve a dispute over the use of the words people or persons." Now, clearly the 'dispute' was never resolved and certainly was not going to be resolved in her favour in any case, though I was prepared to wait for more comments. I have now nominated both new articles for deletion, with the original article to be restored. I would be grateful if you would give your views in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Person (British English). Emeraude 10:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

CfD

I just wanted to point out that Palestine and Palestinian territories do not represent the same region (per your comments on Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_January_1#Category:Palestine). One refers to a historical region, one most widely refers to political definitions of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, though a minority of those who do not accept that Israel exists may use it to refer to that place to, however that is not the use made by the categories up for renaming. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 18:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Nea Potidea

I added new information in the Nea Potidea article:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nea_Potidea Could you please take a look at it and edit it? and Could you also put it into catagories?
