There is a clear difference between a statement and a proposition in philosophical texts. Many, if not most, analytic philosophers use "statement" as the general case and "proposition" with a specific meaning. In the context, "statements" was the better term. So I reverted it. But then I noticed that you had been busy elsewhere, and that the article on Propositions needs work, and I gave up. Too big a job for me to fix at present. Banno 23:32, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey there Danny lost. I noticed your comments over at Portal talk:Roman Empire. I changed the color slightly, and wanted your input. Darker, lighter, just right. Your comments would be welcome. -- Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor ( ταlκ) 02:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Heh. Don't you just love it when people mindlessly add "Citation needed" when there already is one? -- EncycloPetey 00:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I have put a comment on the Wittgentein discussion page concerning your reversion of my edit concerning Wittgenstein's 1939 Moscow visit and the $50,000,000 extorted from the Wittgenstein family by the Nazis. I intend to repost my original should no reasons be offered to justify your reversion. Thank you, Kimberley Cornish ( talk) 10:45, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

You are certainly correct - the Sandberg Prize is associated with the Israel Museum. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mordecai Sandberg, which was my original guess. Thanks for solving the mystery! I was surprised to hear the answer after all this time. Have a cookie! -- Reuben ( talk) 07:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Do you remove all quotations in articles where you happen to come across or just Boltzmann's article? What about Konrad Zuse, Plankalkül etc.? Boltzmann seems to have no entry in Wikiquote – it makes no sense to delete it here and not insert it there with a link here. So you made the article worse - that should be obvious. Christian Storm ( talk) 00:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
On Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request, you requested access to WVO Quine's article "Paradox" from Scientific American. I will retrieve it during my next library visit unless you no longer have a need for it. Once I have retrieved a copy of it, I will be happy to e-mail it to you if you can provide an e-mail address or other means of getting it. Hope that helps. – Tom Morris ( talk) 23:05, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Regarding the following: the Walter Kaufmann page: my having added a link to Amazon for the Faith Of A Heretic book: your comment 'no commercial links please': your view may be valid, but i was not readily able to find a source for such view. (The link to Amazon would be very useful to readers because: on the Amazon site one can see the extremely-useful full title of the Heretic book; and the Kaufmann page's linked Archive.org page seems not to permit downloads from there.)
Thanks in advance for any citation to a Wikipedia or other source, so that i can keep a note of the view. Bo99 ( talk) 16:43, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Categort:Thai dictionaries requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want:
this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo
here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 22:55, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
Do you have evidence that Torrence and Torrance are the same place? I raised the question on the article talk page - perhaps you could clear it up there. Thanks. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 08:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Hey Danny lost; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 23:23, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey Danny lost :). Just a note that the Article Feedback Tool, Version 5 has now been re-enabled. Let us know on the talkpage if you spot any bugs. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 00:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Danny lost. Is it your intention to nominate The Vatican Splendors at AfD? I'm not sure what's going on there—the sequence of events isn't clear to me. Can you clarify? Thanks! -- 71.178.50.222 ( talk) 17:23, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
{{subst:afd1}}
; this will produce the box saying that the page is at AFD. (2) The box will now produce a bunch of code; copy the text {{subst:afd2|pg=PAGENAME|cat=|text=}} ~~~~
, and then click on the big redlink "this article's entry" at the top. (3) You're now at the article's AFD page; paste the copied code into that new page, replace PAGENAME with the article's name, and after |text=
, write your deletion rationale. (4) Go to the current day's AFD log (just go to
WP:AFD and scroll down; it's the first dated entry, just below the table of contents) and add the page by putting {{subst:afd3|pg=PAGENAME}}
at the top of the list and replacing PAGENAME with the article's name. If you somehow forget to add the AFD to the daily log, I don't think you need to worry; if I remember rightly, there's a bot that goes around and adds orphaned discussions to their logs.

Category:1917 in the Palestinian territories has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. You are encouraged to join the discussion on the Categories for discussion page. GreyShark ( dibra) 17:17, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, not very much really, except that it was the frontispiece and was said to have been discovered in Rome. If I remember rightly the book was in the British Library. Jack1956 ( talk) 21:52, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
You are of course correct, although I don't understand why Palestine doesn't have a corresponding category. In any case, I'm not sure why you didn't add the correct category, which I've done. Dougweller ( talk) 15:58, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
The best way is to use the parser functions, described at MW:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time. For example, you can use {{#time:xjj xjF, xjY|January 1, 1900}} to produce "1 Shevat, 5660". -- Ypnypn ( talk) 02:37, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi! For the Labov piece you sent me--is there any way to save it or view it for a longer time-period, or was it set only to be available for a few short days? Thanks! Wolfdog ( talk) 22:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at
my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake

Ciao Danny lost,
I apologize. I see now in the English version that it is a more thought out comparison, but still don't see what it contributes that's not in the previous ELs, what translation it uses or who is the author of the introductions. trespassers william ( talk) 00:29, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
I've reacted in a pretty old category merge discussion which isn't closed yet, in which you also participated, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_30, about Study books by subject. Please feel free to add your opinion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:56, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
You know File:Trees to transplant from Punt to Egypt - Hatshepsut Mortuary Temple.JPG? It is rotated top-to-right so it is unusable. At Hatshepsut I switched to the version from Commons. Why keep it here? trespassers william ( talk) 00:33, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
This is a curious mess, my 2006 original uploaded and displayed correctly in the article, Hatshepsut, the date indicated is 2008. Later it was added to the commons and I am guessing that it skewed in the process and was rotated and renamed, because now it is listed as,
.
At one time a 2011 version, Trees_to_transplant_from_Punt_to_Egypt_-_Hatshepsut_Mortuary_Temple_c.jpg, (which I can see today when accessed from your file as another version—no matter that here it is displayed as a non-existent file) was derived from my original by User:JMCC1 I objected to the use of this because of the distortion of the color. At that file there is a reference to my original file. Perhaps this is when the file was rotated, but I do not recall it skewing in the article then.
Don't know whether it is possible to determine an accurate chronology for all of this.
Now these images are used in five articles, however, with file names that were not created by me and without annotation at the original file or being cross referenced to my gallery.
It should have been tagged "KeepLocal" so I have corrected the file today and although I do not mind the file being in the commons, I still would like a copy of the correctly-oriented image that now is in the article to be kept local so that I may view it in my gallery. I do not see an option to edit the new commons file with a "keep local" tag. What options are available to achieve that? Can you help me with that?
I made a copy of this to reside at my talk page. ____ 83d40m ( talk) 01:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
First, it is quite common on en.wiki to provide translations (e.g., in Harrod_the_Great#New Testament references). Second, don't assume genders. Not everyone on the internets is a dude. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{ re}} 01:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
