Please do not modify other users' comments or formatting. name templateI noticed that there's a problem with combing the templates. The "origin" parameters don't mean the same things. Alot of people used that for languages or 'regions', but the newer template uses that parameter for the original form of the name. So it's kinda messing things up. See Alice - The word "English" should be under the "language" parameter I think (or maybe "languageorigin"). Any idea how to tackle this problem?--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 06:58, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Tagging processSee [1] for the process I was using ("Tagging process"). However instead of pre-parse, I started using Special:Export, pasting the list of articles, and then combing them for the relevant data (it was faster than pre-parse). I can give you more step-by-step instructions at a later time if you still need more information. –xenotalk 12:44, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Canadian culture on White prideHi Koavf. Would be interested to know why you've added Category:Canadian culture to the article White pride. It isn't something most people would immediately think of as being a particularly Canadian phenomenon. It might be useful to have a source for the existence or prevalence of white pride movements in Canada. Also, blimey, why aren't you an administrator yet?!

Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 22:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC) Josef StalinI have reversed your change to this name at Hallmark Hall of Fame. The program referenced used the spelling "Josef". "Josef" is not a misspelling! It is an alternative spelling that is just as valid as "Joseph", and indeed more correct as a transliteration from Russian. Redirects should be preferred when there is a valid alternative spelling. I have also removed the "unprintworthy" category from the redirect. Granting that "Joseph" is the more common English usage, and that, by convention, Wikipedia puts the article itself under that name, this still does not justify changing all articles where the name appears. It is much better to let the writers of articles use the form they want. The large number of changes that you have made impose a POV on the spelling of the name. The use of "Josef" in other sites is not inconsiderable. If long term trends were to reflect the stricter transliteration Wikipedia should itself be prepared to mirror the trend, not use its enormous popularity to command the trend. What better way to reflect the trend than to allow editors to use the form they prefer? Eclecticology (talk) 18:47, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
You redirected this page to itself. I pointed it where I thought it should go. Thanks Gurch (talk) 00:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC) RE: AssessmentThe article lacks of coverage. There is no background, no critical reception, I see only three sources, and the most important, there is no evidence that this album is notable. Supporting materials refers to all possible and relevant materil (if possible free) in the article (images, infobox and diagrams), there is only one infobox and a non-free album cover. Images of Byrne and/or the tour can be added. B-class means on either Wikiproject "a good and complete article that just need somebody approve it to be a GA". See Hitmixes as what I'm talking of a short article that was approved at GA. If the article cannot be expanded more than that, or cannot say why it is notalbe, it can be easily merged at Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno Tour or Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. ۞ Tbhotch™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 04:36, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Jonathan DemmeHi. if you have incorrectly named the page, instead of starting a new article , please use the WP:MOVE feature to rename the page. You will then not need to make a redirect page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:47, 13 June 2011 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image File:Eric Blair-George Orwell signature.jpg![]() Thanks for uploading File:Eric Blair-George Orwell signature.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:12, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Strange OvertonesHello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Strange Overtones you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. NoteIf you do speedy cat renames manually, remember to fix stuff like this: [2], [3]. You should check "what links here" on the old category to fix any incoming links to the category.

Pink FloydHi I notice you removed the dollar values to the pounds in the text [4]. I cannot see why you would do this. The dollar value should be calculated at the 1976 rate and that would not fluctuate (using something similar to [5]). Chaosdruid (talk) 15:01, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Preserving attributionHi, I noticed that you manually performed a speedy rename, and I wanted to remind to you to please preserve attribution by listing the names of contributors to the old category in the edit summary of the new category (see e.g. here or here). Cydebot does this automatically but it's equally important during manual renames. Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 19:34, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
InfoboxWhy have you reversed the infobox on Mahajanapadas? (69.115.82.63 (talk) 02:55, 23 June 2011 (UTC)) Hi. I saw your move of I'm With You (album) to I'm with You (album). Are there any sources that indicate that this is the appropriate capitalization? I can't seem to find any. Every reliable source I see uses a capital "W". You also seem to have tagged the redirect's talk page. Is there a reason for this? Thanks! --MZMcBride (talk) 17:47, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Western Sahara WikiProjectBeing quite new at contributing to Wikipedia, I was so glad to discover the existence of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Western_Sahara, and I would like to thank you and send some wikilove for the great work you have put into this project! I'm not sure if I will be able to contribute much to the project myself, as I'm neither an expert on the topic nor a native English speaker, but I will try to follow many of the pages related to the project and perhaps fix things now and then. As a start, I spent some time re-organizing, cleaning up and fixing references for Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf Province, Algeria, working mainly on the first half of the article. Feel free to correct/improve the language. I will also see if I can get hold on some more photos for the article. – Danmichaelo (talk) 20:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Hello, Koavf. I noticed through my watchlist that you performed this edit, which fixed the dashes on the article. One of those dashes that you changed, though, was part of the name of the image file for the album cover featured on this page. That made the image red and not show up. I fixed the image so that it showed up again, and I thought you should know about this. Happy editing. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 00:53, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T or M/Sign mine 22:13, 3 July 2011 (UTC) Completely new abortion proposal and mediationIn light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

A little helpI'm not very familiar with the External link policies, but I would like to fix List of sects in the Latter Day Saint movement, so I am asking for you for a starting place, since you tagged it with {{Toomanylinks}} here. Please tell me what I need to do? To me all these links seem appropriate since they link to the various websites for the sect listed above. There are alot of sects so the list is long. They had previously been in the article, but were move to an external links section during the work done to make it a featured list, since external links should not appear in the article. However, if this isn’t appropriate, then by all means they should be removed, but, again, I just don’t know what the polices are. Anyway, any help you can give me would be appreciated.--ARTEST4ECHO (talk/contribs) 14:16, 12 July 2011 (UTC) A kitten for you!![]() For a work! I $ NY (talk) 07:45, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
