Please could you revert the Lewes Priory School entry BACK to what we changed it too. Students keep changing the entry, that is our official blurb, as shown in the comment. If this can not be done please just delete the entry as this is getting too much hassle.
Thank you

I started discussing it here as you were th eone to revert my revision and call it vandalism, but I can see that is a judgement call. If the categories and stub notices are incorrect and removed because of this then that is still vandalism? We own the image and information about the school though. Not to worry though. I'll investigate other avenues to remove.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.237.132.33 ( talk • contribs) 11:15, 17 January 2006
Thank you for your encouragement, Ezeu! Please grab a letter to make over should the fancy take you and time avail. In the meantime, do you know much about setting up Wikipedia tables? I have a query prompted by tables elsewhere that I've asked
here, but with no response. Perhaps there's a better place to ask, or what I'm asking is too obvious...
Best wishes and thanks again,
David Kernow

Darn. I thought it would either be something obvious, or not yet implemented. Looks like the latter. Thanks for the quick response. David 02:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
A follow-up query, if I may, since you're more au fait with tables than I: Is it possible to combine a cellpadding setting with class="wikitable"? Thus far I haven't been able to do so. Thanks, David Kernow 00:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

hello Ezeu,
absolutely, sorry I wasn't aware that tag existed as well, but yes of course it can be used instead. I just felt the article could be expanded because I am sure there are many more interesting things about Buganda, so thanks for pointing that tag to me. Gryffindor 01:30, 20 January 2006 (UTC) ps: what an odd message left before mine...
I see. Thank you very much! I didn't really understand what the problem was exactly...—Preceding unsigned comment added by CrazyInsaneAnimeFanGirl ( talk • contribs) 21 January 2006
Nice to see you are still supporting the Mandela website. It's amazing how many bad edits one encounters - and a lot of work to counteract them. All the best Swissjames
Well, Wanyika bands strikes me as a very odd and unnatural title. If this article is now and will remain a list, how about List of offshoots of Simba Wanyika? Or at least, list of Wanyika bands. I changed the dab page, so it should be better. Tuf-Kat 19:19, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Please stop targeting one or more user's pages or talk pages for abuse or insults, unwarranted doctoring or blanking. It can be seen as vandalism and may get you blocked from editing Wikipedia. Do not remove comments from other users from talk pages. Especially when you are pushing POV and falsehoods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.210.161.140 ( talk • contribs)
Argument proceeds at Talk:Nelson Mandela-- Ezeu 21:03, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
I tried to add a link to the Tanzania page for an audio interview of a Tanzania resident. The interview is non-commercial, free, and discusses history, economy, culture and more.
My understanding of the Wiki history page is that you removed the link I inserted.
If you did remove the link can you please tell me why you feel you needed to remove it.
Thank you

Thank you for answering my question.
I don't think that an interview with a "non-notable" person is uninteresting or not of educational value; but I will accept that the interview is specifically about Pemba Island and not all of Tanzania (the subject of the wiki article).
This was my first experience interacting with someone about appropriate wiki content.
Thank you again for answering my question,

Oi mate,
I am rather distressed by what has happened to the Mandela page recently. I would never have thought that someone had the gall to challenge the FACT that Mandela was the firstly democratically elected president. Not only that, he has added this ugly POV badge at the top. What does one do in cases like this? Sit back and wait? Personally I do not care to debate with him anymore (he is beyond my help) but neither do I want to allow him to compromise the site.

Reverting comments on your talk page violates Wikipedia policy, cease and desist or you may be banned. OrangeMan 00:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

My apologies for accusing you of *moving* my comment, I was mistaken. Comments on your deletion of comments still stand. OrangeMan 01:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ezeu, I'm quite surprised you removed almost all the links I put on the reggae web page yesterday. I've spent hours on searching reggae infos on the web (not only on Bob Marley) and believe me the links I've added are among the most relevant ones, and I'm not the only one to say so of course, see reggae litterature, and links on many websites. I must recognize that it may looks like personal webpages, and sometimes it is, but what is important: presentation or content ?
To be honest, I'm not sure you realize how important these websites are, much more than www.reggaephotos.de for instance ! Why keep this website when there are many other photographers websites...
Please if I'm wrong, explain me what the wikipedia policy on external link is and what are your motivation to keep or delete a link. If it is not a question of relevancy and utility of its content how can we appreciate a link ?

Your recent edits to the talk page on the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy are a violation of Wiki policy. Stop inserting hate comments towards my people! You have been warned. -- Valentinian 00:39, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
We disagreed once, and apparently you are still aggravated. It seems you have made it your destiny to mess things for me. How far will this vendetta go? You could find better use for your bitter dislike for me – like editing articles etc. Avoiding you has not helped me since you seem to be stalking me. My question to you is:
-- Ezeu 08:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Ezeu, I got 'tagged' at Corruption in Kenya - if you have opinions either way I would be grateful. I think I fixed up the references (just getting the hang of cite.php) but I am not sure what (if anything) to do about the title. Wizzy… ☎ 16:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Deletion review is the appropriate place to have an article that was deleted reviewed for undeletion. Peyna 00:16, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
(Thanks for the disclaimer; Wikipedia is making me develop a thicker skin but the reassurance is lovely. *g*) As for your question, I'm not sure. i'm going through all the uncategorised writers in Category:Children's writers and sorting them by nationality if I have that information, and as I do I discover how many there are for each cat. For example, a couple of hours ago, there was no Category:Swedish children's writers; now there are four writers in it and I'm not done.
On the other hand, given that it's a pain to delete a category, this method -- though the easiest way for me to determine what categories are needed -- is arguably creating a pain in the butt further down the line when we need to delete the categories.
I could put Category:African children's writers under Category:African writers? Because I think I have one from Zimbabwe, one from Ghana, one from South Africa... I don't like lumping the continent together but maybe it makes sense. What do you think? Deborah-jl Talk 07:02, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm quite curious about the pervalence of racism, or lack thereof, in European nations. As a member of a visible minority in Canada (I'm half Gambian), I experience no notable racism, apart from the occassional, usually good-humoured stereotype. How is life for a member of a visible minority in Sweden? Are you ever slurred because of your race? Do you ever feel unwelcomed in your neighbourhood or town? Do you notice prejudice in the workplace?
I ask because a 1997 poll I recently found on the internet suggests that about 40% of Europeans declare themselves "very racist" or "just a little racist". Based on your experiences in Sweden, do you believe this poll is accurately representative of Swedish opinion?
I know I sound ignorant, but I'm just curious about racism in Europe. WGee 04:38, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Ouch, I see what you mean :-S... Unfortunately, I'm not an admin, so I cannot undo the damage, but I'll post a note on the administrators' noticeboard. dewet| ™ 07:37, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I see you responded to my note on the discusion page. What is the info about Nobel lauriates doing there?

I see that you proposed Tom Lewis for deletion as being "not notable." I'm not sure it is kosher for me to remove the tag since I created the article, but I would argue that Mr. Lewis is notable. I cite you to the following in WP:MUSIC, all of which are true of Mr. Lewis, and any one of which would render him "notable":

Hello again Ezeu,
Did you mean your vote for the above to be (Speedy) rename rather than Delete...?

Please don't revert me again. i have put my reasons on the talk opage and there is simply no justification for reverting my added input into the article. See Bob Marley and The Wailers, SqueakBox 03:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Two identical wailers articles? And the redirects? Please add your thoughts to Talk:Bob Marley rather than engaging in edit wars with me, thankyou, SqueakBox 16:05, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for speedy keeping this AfD however I was under the impression that only admins can close AfDs. Mike ( T C) 23:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
About the changes you made in Project Fubelt. Look at this article about overlinking. You can repeat a link if it is not within one screen or 40 lines. So Schneider could be linked twice. Is there a general rule that says "articles already linked neednt be in 'see also' section"? I don't think so because that is done everywhere. In case you don't have any arguments I will add René Schneider in the see also section. Vints 09:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ezeu, I just wanted to discuss the removal of a part of the paragraph which I added to the Bob Marley page. You're reasoning was that it was 'personal opinion' on my part and therefore not suitable as an information resource. I have to disagree with this as the sentance in question is a reflection of the remarks made by Bunny Wailer, in that 'You can understand why Bunny wanted the records kept out of the public domain, as they represented a commercialisation of the Wailers music, and not the artistic progression which would lead to the 'Catch A Fire' sessions.'
Have you heard the 'JAD sessions' tunes, if so what do you think of them?, do you agree with Bunny?. If you haven't heard them, it might be wise to check them out. The info about the tunes and Bunnys comments came from Timothy Whites 'Catch A Fire' book, and I have the 7" demo in the photo.
I think these 'JAD' tunes may have come out on CDs but if you get stuck I'll fix you up with the two versions of 'Mellow Mood'. Just so you know though...I love both versions !!
All the best, :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Bramble ( talk • contribs) 31 March 2006
The part that caught my eye in particular was, "Elections currently planned for June 2005." It just sounded like some parts of the article were from a few years back, and while newer information has been added on, some updating could be done to the prior paragraphs.

thanks for fixing it, I spent 10 in trying to ldo the citing stuff. Martinkk
Mandela was not the first democraticaly elected prez, he was the first democrtical elected prez in an election open to all people in SA, e.g. Before Women in U.S. could vote, U.S. was still considered democratic,the same goes for S.A. exept replace women with those of dark skin.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinkk ( talk • contribs) 3 April 2006
