Question: Articles 1530 BC xxxxBC etc.
Hello!
Would you please explain me why the wikipedia has nearly only christian reminiscents according to the article series 1530 BC. Why are there are no 1530 BCE - articles, respectively?
I would like to mention, that BC means Before Christ - which is a christian confession of faith and never a neutral appointment. Whereas BCE can be rendered Before Common Era or Before Christian Era alike, which is was more strong neutral appointment.
Would you please help me on this - or guide me where I may get help?

You deleted the page entitled 'Mark Carder'. Mark Carder is the artist who painted the official presidential painting of George W. Bush in 2008. [1] This clearly warrants a Wikipedia entry. IainUK ( talk) 01:14, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Why did you delete the talk page for File:CannabisSeeds.jpg? Unless the image itself just has not been deleted yet, the talk page contained the image-class template for WikiProject Cannabis.

Hello Luk, A while back, you blocked editing from 198.189.140.0/22. I did request for an administrator to allow me to login with my account here a while back and my request was followed. Why is this IP blocked, though? This is a large higher educational institution (with several tens of thousands of students), and I assume there are others who would be interested in contributing to Wikipedia and who would be valuable contributors to it.

Luk,
Would you mind checking my last edit at article Frédéric Chopin page. Several edits done by Noozgroop ( talk were disruptive & had not been caught by other editors who brought changes afterward. In order to revert all of Noozgroop's edits, I went back to last by Graham87, then worked my way back reestablishing good revisions; however, I am not sure that I did well with your change of Chopin's 1847 photograph.

My issue is the content, The issues of content dispute is an anthropological one and complex issue . Can we we work out a dispute resolution through an arbitration committe comprising of anthropologists/social scientists to comment the scientific validity of references cited by individual parties with dispute. I am ready to comply to it.-- Sanam001 ( talk) 18:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Due to failure of resolution of content dispute using WP:30 and multi-party discussion and given the sensitivity of issue and tendency to detour in to personal allegations during objective content dispute, the best way may be formal mediation of content dispute. I kindly request Anandks007 and suresh.varma 123 to help me in taking the dispute resolution to next stage. I would be greatly thankful to the administrator if he could impress upon these users to go to the next level of dispute resolution so as to avoid future edit conflicts.

Thanks for uploading File:Czech Airlines logo 2007.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello Luk,
A vandal closely matching IPs and behavior associated here with Genesis vandalism has been targeting the olpc wiki for a year, and has recently become threatening. I started leaving a comment here because you had blocked the first two IPs I matched... would it be useful to leave that sort of cross-wiki comment on the WP:LTA page?

Hi there, I recently received a message from you alleging that I had vandalised the stingray page. I can't remember editing that page, and if I did it certainly wasn't with vandalism (or experimentation) in mind. Could you point me to what exactly it is I'm supposed to have done?

Having read even more, it seems the edit was made in 2006, and was certainly somebody else who had this IP address at the time. Sorry to bother you with this old news, I was just a bit shocked to read someone accusing me of vandalism. Dave 87.242.157.34 ( talk) 13:49, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Please help restore an article titled 'Happy John Uvwiefenigwere' which was deleted on 10 Feb 2010. Many thanks for your assistance. Tokeda ( talk) 10:16, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
When you delete images as at the log above, you must ensure that you replace the image appropriately. For all I can tell, the article concerned, leopard, has been without a distribution map for over 18 months. Please ensure that you perform image deletions correctly in future by checking the appropriate "what links here" page. Thank you. Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 23:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello Luk. Back in 12 February 2008 you deleted User talk:Nimi61. I don't suppose that this long a time afterwards you either remember or care about this page, but I thought as a courtesy I should let you know that I have undeleted it. I have undeleted it for the following reasons: (1) we normally do not delete user talk pages unless there are quite exceptional reasons, and I can see no such exceptional reason in this case; (2) the editor has recently returned to editing after a break of over two years, and since the editor's history consists largely of creating unsuitable pages, it may be useful to have a record of the user's warnings in case the same pattern continues. If you do have a good reason for thinking the page should be deleted please let me know, and of course re-delete it. JamesBWatson ( talk) 13:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey Luk,
The Wiki page for the band Tera Melos was recently deleted and I wanted to know why. The reasoning was listed that it was "an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject." So I'm assuming that this means the band is not seen as important? That's just not true. 1. Who's to say how important a band (or anything really) is? It's a personal opinion, and 2. This band has quite a following and should therefore be seen as important. It seems like the whole idea of Wikipedia (getting information to anyone about damn near anything) is kinda destroyed when something like this is taken out without reasoning besides personal opinion. Apparently the original deleter was this fellow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SchuminWeb.
Thank you and hopefully I can see that page back up soon :)

I'm sorry but "I don't think the band is big enough (yet) to warrant an article on Wikipedia." seems like a really badly justified reason to take something off Wikipedia... Plus, Tera Melos definitely meets the "criterion for bands" defined by Wikipedia. Do your research. —Preceding

Alright not exactly how to directly respond to your reply so this will have to do for now.
After doing some simple google work I've found 4 (though finding more would be easy) "non-trivial published works" relating to the band.
http://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/07/tera-melos/ http://musicremedy.com/t/tera-melos/album/patagonian-rats-8835.html http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/5802/Tera-Melos-Tera-Melos/ http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=208107
These clearly shows that the band "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable." So obviously the Wiki should be put up again.
Thank you,
Alek —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.211.15.77 ( talk) 20:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
I realize you are following up on schuminwebb's work but I would like to know why the page was not flagged for deletion first, thus giving a chance for cleanup. A band with over 1,000,000 plays on last.fm is significant (that only just begins to cover the matter, but it is a reliable site that simply shows you what people listen are listening to). I do not understand why Tera Melos was singled out in this case. Cyclopseslayer ( talk) 07:46, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
The Tera Melos page should not have been deleted. So is there any way you can undo that and put the information back up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.137.229.142 ( talk) 07:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
