Correction Error
Your correction as part of Project Punctuation caused two Image tags to fail to close properly. See: [1].

Sorry about that, I got interested in the discussion there and didn't double-check my work. I'll have to be more careful to check the result. Thanks for catching that! --.:.Jareth.:. babelfish 02:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Questions
Acording to your user page, you can not describe yourself without Questions, so here's a few. What is your Political Ideology or Philosophy (e.g. Social Democracy, Centrism, Tory. What is your Religion. If not religious, Secular Moral Philosophy (e.g. Secular Humanism. Where were you born. Where do you live.
- I find that I'm not very politically motivated, of course there's not much in the U.S these days to motivate me. Its like watching two village idiots mud wrestle until one of them can't stand any longer; no matter who wins, they're covered in mud and still nothing more than the local fool. Most of my political-leaning activities are with non-profit organizations devoted to fixing things that politics has so enthusiastically screwed up. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that the government as a whole is inherently bad, but this thing we call politics is nothing more than enforcing ones own beliefs and vanity on as many people as will put up with you.
- Religion...hmm, that's another word I've really come to dislike. I think religion has very little to do with spirituality anymore; in the U.S. at least, its become an institution. If I had to come up with a description for my beliefs, I'd say they're a mix of Wiccan and [Buddhism|Buddhist]] traditions; its an earth-mother/balance oneself type of belief.
- I was born, raised and generally found myself stuck in Ohio, U.S. -- .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 02:13, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
Soapbox of the day
Why, oh why must people come here and post two line vanity articles? Are we so insecure that a few moments of our name in an online encyclopedia really makes a difference? And why not use the millions of appropriate places to run off about yourself? Just imagine the vfD page without the vanity -- beautiful site, eh? .:.Jareth.:. babelfish June 30, 2005 14:52 (UTC)
Hi, I erased the page not only because of copyright, but also because the page is wrongly named (the real page is Brian Ellner, who is also under copyright), and so shall be deleted.--Revas 5 July 2005 21:26 (UTC)
Satta Dea
Hi Jareth, thanks for your message. With regard to Satta Dea I realised that the more common form of the name is actually Satiada only after creating it: that's why i had to blank it for fear of accusations of inaccuracy which i simply could bear. Maybe it may be best to merge Satta Dea with Satiada by way of enhancement. I think you'll find that all the other recent additions to Celtic deities are not blanked. I should be overjoyed if you were to expand them.GeoffMGleadall 6 July 2005 21:07 (UTC)
Thanks..

Template:DeleteBecause
The renameing of all the speedy deletion templates to a common naming pattern was discussed during the TfD of {{nn-bio}} now {{Db-bio}}. I am in the process of fixing the references and documentation pages. Since a redirect was created by the move, existing pages shouldn't have been broken -- which ones are broken and in what ways? I said during the nn-bio discussion that i would fix this as soon as that TfD was closed, which happened today. I discussed it with the closser of teh TfD, also. I am actually tryign to be helpful here, not a problem. DES (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
- You wrote: Ah, I hadn't seen the TfD discussion on nn-bio. I still think its an incredibly clunky change though. What I was referring to as broken was any page were the DB template had been used; they all displayed 1. Redirect db-reason.
- Ah, there was a double-redir. I have now fixed that: {{db}} now redirects to {{db-reason}} instead of to {{DeleteBecause}}. Basically the idea is that ALL the speedy deletion tempaltes will now start "Db-" so they will all group right together in the category listing that the admins use to pick arts for speedy deleteion. This was at the request of several such admins, who otherwise objected to teh existance of multiple speedy deletion templates. I'll be fixing the other links and any double redirs shortly. Note that DB and Deletebecause will still work, as they will be redirs. Is that ok with you? DES (talk) 20:32, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
No problem. Glad to have been of some help. Greaterlondoner

Cleanup taskforce
Hi, I have added a task to your desk. Andreww 05:39, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
You correctly tagged this for speedy this morning. The creator has returned and spruced up the article, and IMHO done a good job of meeting at least minimum notability requirements. I've removed the Speedy tag for now. But I wanted to alert you, as the original speedy tagger, so you could have a chance to place it back under Speedy, or toss it up for AFD, if you still beleive it's notability is not adequitely shown.

Robert Steadman...
When edit wars get this bad? Believe me, seen worse... much worse. :) But I do agree that your suggestions have a lot of merit, and I've very glad you've put in a strong word for some enlightened compromise. I've had painful past experience of similar cases (plethora of accounts suddenly appearing to edit the same single topic, and nothing else, and with diametrically opposed views on it). I also likely won't be around much for the next couple of weeks, so excuse me if I've not a great deal of help there. Alai 00:36, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message; I must admit that when I started I hadn't realised what a long job it was going to be... --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
Compromise proposal on Template:Suicide
I have a possible solution to the dispute on Template talk:Suicide#Compromise proposal. When you have time, take a look at it and note your possible assent or not in the appropriate section. Thanks! — Phil Welch 22:38, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
nn-bio template
In my opinion, {{nn-bio}} didn't fit on Lilian Bernas, because the article did, in fact assert the notability of its subject. The key is the word "assert." The article was asserting that she was notable because she exhibited stigmata. Of course, that needed to be NPOV'ed, so it now asserts that she claims to have exhibited stigmata. This still may not be notable enough to continue to include an article on her, but it does at least assert significance. I also found several links on the subject with Google. If you still want, you could list the article on WP:AFD, but in my opinion, it was not a speedy delete under the criteria. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 20:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
