==Jan Smuts Statue==
Thanks a lot for adding the picture of Jan Smuts's statue. One thing that this article series needs are more illustrations. I'm busy working away on writing the more detailed sub-articles at the moment, but if you can add anything else then please feel free. The Smuts articles don't appear to attract much outside interest - no edit wars, but not too much help either!

I think this needs some scrutiny.

As far as I understand it, these are not English museums, nor even museums of England (although they may be in England, but that is neither here nor there). They are British museums, which is why there is the title Tate Britain and not Tate England, for one. I'm not really up with categories, and wonder if you could take a look.

Fair enough -- the article itself didn't seem to do enough to establish his notability, but I wasn't sure, which is why I used PROD rather than AFD, and why I included a question mark in my reason. The article could be improved by including the reasons for his notability in the [[Wikipedia:Lead section]], and by including more information on ''why'' he was held in such high regard, compared to other statistics professors.

==Georg Cantor==
Hi Runcorn. Either you're doing a routine vandalism check or you've been contacted by the editor adding these categories. There is a lengthy debate full of all the relevant reasonings for removing the categories off of Georg Cantor. Similar debates are even being held on the Karl Marx page, so this is in no way unprecedented. One relevant point must be made. It is not the ancestry of a biographical figures PARENTS that determines what category they are placed in. If that were the case, we'd have a LOT and I mean LOT of categories to add to bio articles for many famous people. It is what they are that is in question. Maybe you can comment on the talk page? Thanks. [[User:72.144.68.140|72.144.68.140]] 21:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry I don't respond well to your threats, as you have yet to recall that wikipedia policies are created by us users, and any user has the right to debate a circumstance as long as they are somewhat supported by sources. I will continue to debate the inclusion of dubious categorizations as has been done on many articles before. I suggest you take your "policy" and move it to the [[Copernicus]] article. Get started with threatening all those users with blocks too. [[User:72.144.68.140|72.144.68.140]] 21:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Might wanna take a look at [[Wikipedia:Vandalism#What_vandalism_is_not]]. There is another comment on your talk page referring to this issue. [[User:72.144.68.140|72.144.68.140]] 21:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Your recent actions regarding this article have been very inappropriate.

== [[Template:User ipa-0]] ==
Hi. I have restored the template above following a request from users who feel it serves a purpose. While there was a TfD for all these '0 level' writing system boxes the templates themselves were never tagged as being considered for deletion, and thus the people actually using them weren't afforded the chance to comment. Obviously that's not the intent of *fD and the process must have gotten fumbled somewhere. I haven't heard anyone asking about restoring the others so I suppose we can leave them gone for the time being. --[[User talk:CBDunkerson|CBD]] 15:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
:If you want this template restored, it should be listed on DRV. The lack of a tag was a simple oversight on my part, but that doesn't mean the debate about it was invalid.

== CfD closure ==
Hello. Congratulations on the recent award of your mop and bucket! Thanks for your email. I am taking the liberty of replying to it here. There isn't actually a huge CfD backlog just now, but all help on this front is welcome, and the more eyes that watch what's going on the better! If you close a CfD, then there are indeed helpful robots which remove the references to the category before it is deleted: if you close a debate, then you can list the required changes at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working]], which I think some of these robots work off directly. There is a section at the bottom of that page with categories "ready for deletion". A temporary backlog may build up over the next few days, because Wikipedia's rendering of category pages changed last week and the robots may need to be recoded accordingly. As an alternative, I believe some Wikipedians find [[WP:AWB]] helpful. There are other admins, including me, who prefer to be responsible for implementing our own *fD closures, so I have my own bot, and I maintain its task list as I close discussions. I'll try and help if you have any more questions (or suggestions): my talk page is always open, although I am not always "at home"!

==Admin tag==
Thought you might want to know that your userpage lacks an admin tag. Unless someone is diligent enough to pursue the List of Admins page, there is no way of knowing that when you are addressing people that you are doing so from a Wikipedia enforcement perspective. Thanks. [[User:Morton devonshire|Morton devonshire]] 20:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
==[[User:Eleemosynary]]==
I think this user needs an RfC on his general behavior, not just his threats to me. Would you be willing to certify an RfC? I don't know how to start one, but I know it needs a primary and a secondary supporter. [[User:Billy Blythe|Billy Blythe]] 18:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
By the way, I'm sorry I screwed up your page format with that barnstar. I hope you don't have much trouble cleaning it up. [[User:Billy Blythe|Billy Blythe]] 18:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
==Norton==
No, I am not related. And why don't you have an entry for [[Norton's Atlas]], so I can find out more? My family is very small, from poor Irish stock. Wikipedia, can't contain "All the world's..." if you are holding back on some... Nice to meet you.

Maybe you can also warn {{user|Nixer}}. As you can see, the issue had been debated extensively with everyone except him opposing. Even {{user|Historian2}} opposed it. And yet, 10 days after the discussion had died out, he just did it anyway. This is not the way we are supposed to behave on Wikipedia. --[[User:Daniel575|Daniel575]] | <small>''[[User talk:Daniel575|(talk)]]''</small> 16:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

==Vandalism==
When an explanation for removals is given in a talk page, and requests for a change are made for the re-inclusion of that material, it is not considered vandalism. Help formulate an agreement on the talk page rather than just reverting. Also, if you were actually reverting vandalism, why didn't you do it to all the pages that I've edited? Further, I have removed a name mis-attributed on List of Czech Jews with a source (now with two sources) and have been reverted with no comment by you. Why exactly? Thank you. [[User:141.211.251.69|141.211.251.69]] 22:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
A) There's only one reference (simply having an article on Encyclopedia Judaica does not mean anything - Shakespeare has an article too) and it is written by an individual who, as far as we know, has no professional knowledge of any of these people. This, compared to a statement which asserts Benatzky called himself "not Jewish." Unusual how you somehow see the former as more valid. Biased, are we?
B) A person cannot be Jewish and "not Jewish" at the same time. [[User:141.211.251.69|141.211.251.69]] 18:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
==[[WP:CITE]]==
I have reverted your edits on [[List of Chilean Jews]]. As an admin, you should be familiar with [[WP:CITE]]. Unless a source says something to be true, it cannot be held as true on any article on wikipedia. Odd how your contributions list has slowed over the last few weeks. Found something else to do?

==Stopped trying to appear neutral?==
Not only can you not decide on who's "sockpuppet" I am, either a user I edited simultaneously with or one who hasn't edited in over two months, but you can't even keep your "administrative" edits neutral:
Here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_Czech%2C_Bohemian%2C_Moravian_and_Slovak_Jews&diff=82812733&oldid=82687218] you put "All edits by banned users will be reverted" and yet here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_Polish_Jews&diff=80016399&oldid=79990393] you put "Seems a good edit - don't revert just because of the messenger." The messenger in this case being an indefinitely banned user.
If possible, refer me to the part in [[WIKI:Sockpuppetry]] that supports your actions --- those being reverting the edits of some "banned" users and not those of others. Also, where it states a user can be banned for non-malicious sockpuppetry, especially without significant evidence.
Or maybe you just feel like reverting some edits for personal reasons? Try to be as inconspicuous as possible when deleting this comment. [[User:141.211.251.74|141.211.251.74]] 22:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

:Just posting unblock requests over and over again without trying to email/talk with Kusma or registering an email address.

== Biography template ==
It's probably just a case of copying and pasting too quickly (and we've all been there), but just make sure that when you add the Biography template to the Talk page of a biography article that you don't mark the subject as living when they aren't. I'd noticed you'd done it at [[Princess Louise-Élisabeth of France]] who's more than 200 years deceased. [[User:BigHaz|BigHaz]] - [[User_talk:BigHaz|Schreit mich an]] 07:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

| Hi Runcorn. I wanted to thank you with flowers (well, flower) taking the time to participate in my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Rockpocket|RfA]], which was successful. I regret that I was unable to earn your support at this time and acknowledge on occasion that I, like many editors, find myself being a bit too [[WP:BB|bold]]. You can be assured I have taken your comments on board and will work to address them in future. Now, more than ever, please do let me know if I can be of assistance and especially if you spot me making an error. Many thanks once again.

==Thanks for your input!==
Thank you for taking part in [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/SB_Johnny|my RfA]]. The RfA was '''not''' successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.
In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is [[b:A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook|A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook]]. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.
A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").
Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --[[User:SB_Johnny|<font color="green">'''SB_Johnny'''</font>]]|<sup>[[User talk:SB_Johnny|<font color="green">talk</font>]]</sup>|<sub>[[b:User:SBJohnny|<font color="green">books</font>]]</sub> 14:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
