Thanks, SVJust wanted you to know I'm standing for bureaucrat again and you were one of the reasons. I noted your remark when I mentioned that your erstwhile bureaucrat was a moth. I thought it was very sweet and it reminded me how much I missed dealing with all the nice people in the community such as (obviously) your slim self. :) Cheers, Cecropia 04:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Self-published sourcesCould you weigh in on this discussion at WT:V? Jehochman ☎ / ✔ 15:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Distinctive fetures of the HolocaustWell, I guess that my first foray on to the Holocaust page was rather minimalist. This was for several reasons:
Thus I put in what seem to me to be the most important points with links to more detailed references. When efficiency and scale are the only reasons given, then the evil which was the foundation of the events risks being swept under the rug. After all for most efficiency and scale are not inherently evil. I did want to add some other references, partularly one from Friedlander (the Years of Persecution, p. 149) about the decision to go to 3 of 4 grandparents, but the book was back in my office. To my delight, you referred to the long awaited second volume which I hadn’t realized was out. Did you buy it in the UK? Or do I have to order from the States. (I had the good luck to have him as a lecturer back in the Dark Ages of the 1960’s.) Joel Mc 16:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC) EnoughI've called for a third party opinion. Please leave me alone until someone else adds their own input. I'm discussing this on the talk page as I always have. Marshall 19:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC) wowI get a new computer and spend a couple of days away and all hell breaks loose! That is one long argument on the Factory Farming talk page!-Localzuk(talk) 19:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC) AgricultureI thought you may be interested in this article by Bernard Stiegler. Although brief, it requires some effort, but in my opinion this pays off. It places the debate you have been engaged in into a slightly different context. Anyhow, just a thought. When you get some time. FNMF 01:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC) Hello, An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/PalestineRemembered. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/PalestineRemembered/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/PalestineRemembered/Workshop. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, --Srikeit 05:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC) RequestI own these pictures [1] [2] [3] [4]. I have them in my own private albums and I took them with my own camera. User:Hipocrite is attempting to provoke me by tagging them with "unfree image" tags. Help please. Jaber777 13:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC) Yeah, thanks for the help. Jaber777 11:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC) User:SparkzillaHi, I noticed you had some problems with User:Sparkzilla over a BLP-issue. I thought it might interest you that he is thought to have an undeclared CoI (not related to the BLP-issue, however). [5] Heatedissuepuppet 12:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism on G.W.Bush discussion pageI just noticed that someone from this IP address (70.72.196.49) just deleted the entire discussionpage for George W. Bush, and replaced it with this: "Gorge [sic] is a dummy". I reverted that edit. Can you do something about that IP address? Thank you! Sdth 21:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Deletion without AfD?Why the deletion of List of books and films about Martin Luther without a discussion or AfD? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 17:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Deletion at GreerHi Slim Virgin. I was not aware you were editing at the same time as me. The information you restored was contradictory, she was married for 3 weeks in 1968. I am in the process of trying to improve the article and presumed those with an interest would use the talk page. I hope we can improve the article. Regards. ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 04:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC) I removed that comment [6]. I'm sorry that you perceived it as kind of an attack, it was only meant to be ironic. I also replied there. All the best, —AldeBaer 10:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Factory farmingHi. I responded to your question here. Thanks. FNMF 18:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC) Biographies of living personsHi. I am proposing that the Biographies of living persons policy should require material to be moved to the notable event in cases where the event is notable and person not except for the event. Perhaps you would like to create the actual edit to the policy. You excell at that sort of thing. WAS 4.250 08:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC) re: Zionism<"Expanded duplicate" of what I posted at Talk:Zionism appears below. Could I ask you to respond either there or here? Thx, Y> BYT 17:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC) SlimRe: (Brandon, AN WIlson is not a historian, or any kind of serious researcher in this area; for a contentious edit like this, you would need an academic source or otherwise recognized specialist.) Clarifying: Slim, what kind of source, specifically, do you feel would qualify as an "academic source or otherwise recognized specialist"? I want to be sure I am hitting the mark for you, and it would be disappointing to both of us if I went out, purchased something in Hebrew, purchased something else that translated it, sat both of the volumes down, and carefully transcribed them for the benefit of discussion here, only to learn that some T had not been crossed or some I was missing a dot. I know you will be fair about this. Please let me know clearly what I'm aiming for here. I have provided not one, but seven citations for this quote thus far. (Addendum -- I am not at all sure why "Source the second" or "Source the third," below, would not satisfy your criteria here. BYT)
The balance and objectivity you bring to this joint are so predictable now as to run the risk of being taken for granted by the regulars. Rest assured that I do not take them for granted. I'd put quite a lot of work into tracking those sources down. Thanks for looking them over. BYT 17:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Reverting of punctuation fixesHi, Slim Virgin, first of all just a quick thanks for all your valuable, tireless edits. They are most appreciated. I am kindly noticing that my recent punctuation fixes to The Holocaust were reverted twice on your part without any explanation. The changes from hyphens to en or em dashes (where I made such changes) seem unquestionably correct to me, and the use of four full stops/periods for ellipses at the end of sentences matches what I've always seen prescribed in writing style guides. Perhaps you didn't catch the specifics of my edits, as busy as you are :) I'm going to revert shortly your edits (relating to my punctuation fixes) one more time with this polite, good-faith assumption made. Again, thanks for your valuable work here at Wikipedia, and let me know of lingering questions/concerns if any still exist. —Respectfully, Catdude 00:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
What does it take to add a name?I've tried to add Dr. Flores to the UTEP wiki and it gets cut out. He is a respected prof at the university. Any reason why? Could you take a look at something for me?Hi Slim, I got involved with a long running and stupid dispute over at Panorama Tools between 2 competing projects who seem to have a rift outside of the site and have brought it with them to this site. One of the users User:John Spikowski is insisting on changing the 2 pages PanoTools and Panotools to a disambiguation page made up of external links and a link to the original article they were redirecting to. I have tried to explain that we are not a link farm but he refuses to listen as he now thinks I am in some way involved with the other party (both sides have accused me of this now, it is highly amusing). Could you pop over there and provide some sanity to this silly incident. I am getting close to proposing RFC's on the lot of them, as they seem to be unable to see past their own biases and are obsessed with warring and being disruptive. Cheers, Localzuk(talk) 08:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Gracenotes' adminship requestHi. You seem to be pressing Gracenotes for an explanation on question 5; perhaps I can help. I'd point a new user to Help:Reverting for an explanation of what "we reverted it" means, but I imagine you've already read that. We were both bored and thought we'd redirect our userpages to each other and see what happened. They were only like that for a few hours and no lasting confusion ensued. Rest assured that we are not sockpuppets (a fact that is surely backed up by our contribution histories); indeed we live on different continents and have never met. Thanks – Gurch 14:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
