You made some comments on the NLP Feature Article Candidate request [ [1]]. I've completed an update to the notes and references style, and the mentors are tightly monitoring the page for wikipedia policies. We now need to get some third party wikipedias to come in a check the references and facts. Enchaner and other editors have begun this process. We really need some outside asistance to balance out the article. There has been a long standing battle between proponents and detractors. We're hoping this has been resolved moving forward. It would be a good time now to encourage other wikipedians to contribute to the article to binrg it up to standard. -- -=-C-=- 11:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you've made the prose in the Executable Space Protection far more concise, but I think the use of lists could be improved to make it more readable. Let me know what you think, otherwise I will have a stab at getting it right myself. Also, not entirely sure if anything was lost with your edit. -- Tompsci 23:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

No, I did not mean that as a good thing. I meant that mediators do not block disputants, it is not they're roll. In fact, because I personally felt that in extreme cases, blocking may be needed, I ended up failing my nomination to become a mediator (that don't except blocking). When I said that there was no trolling "..not yet", there was none that I could tell. In hindsight, you could say, "yes", but I still couldn't tell that at the time. Actually, the idea of inadvertantly "flattering" (I wouldn't use such a strong word) trolls is why I had my falling out with the mediation committee. I do like the idea of being a third party, or encourage some dialogue, but not being allowed to ever block does generate that problem. I learned that the hard way (though I partly was afraid that would happen coming into it). Voice-of-All 06:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Another thing to note is that they were not sockpuppets, but meatpuppets. And that was not confirmed until checkuser. They were likely different people, just recruited. I am not sure want you think I should have done. I was filling in officially as a deputy mediator for the conflict, and as a mediator, it is not my job to block, only direct and encourage discussion. Like many other mediation cases, it unlimately failed, as one of the parties turned out not not have good faith. I am not proud of that, and it servered to confirm that tying your hands like that and assuming endless good faith just doesn't work. Voice-of-All 22:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you thank you. I just cant say how thankful I am when people notice such non issues and help in such obscure corners of wikipedia that too about massacres. I was feeling like tire rotaing without trackion. Can you kindly edit as you see fit and make it into a NPOV article ? Thanks RaveenS 00:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I have updated the article but left the NPOV tag, can you read and see whether the tag shoulkd be removed ? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RaveenS ( talk • contribs) 21:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC).
Hi, I've searched Alibris, Abebooks, Amazon, Bookfinder, British Library and Library of Congress, I can find no ISBN for this book. There appears to be a copy printed in 1990 on sale (same copy on Abe and Alibris), but it says first ed signed by Romig, so this is almost certainly a typo for 1940. Since the ISBN is invalid I am removing it for the moment. If you can find that copy on Alibris again, it would be interesting, may be there was a reprint, but I found no sign.

WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation herewith presents you this Sri Lanka specific barnstar, which is the blossom of one of the world's most loved drinks.
To keep a cool head in one of the world's hottest conflicts deserves our highest respect! RaveenS 14:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC) |
G'day. I noticed that you PROD'd Vibraimage. I can't figure out if this is advertising or a pseudoscientific gadget. It achieves less than 300 Google hits and I'm inclined to AfD it but I'd like a few more opinions first. Thanks Maustrauser 07:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, You have prodded this page because of the rockabilly connection, which I had already pegged as a hoax. There was a NFL coach called Eddie Cochem who made the first forward pass in 1906, thus appearing to make him notable in NFL. Unfortuantely I know nothing about NFL so can't help correct the article. Certainly plenty of G'hits for a football coach. -- Richhoncho 12:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I created Assassinations and murders during the Sri Lankan civil war article out two, one was Attributed to the LTTE and the other to the government. Both were unstable and always had the tinge of POV over them and were cause of lot of edit wars. So I merged them and created this to minimize the conflict. When you have time, can you look over it please ? Thanks RaveenS
Hi Shunpiker,
In my opinion, I don't think we need to use quotation marks as it already says "according to the Sri Lankan government" in the start of the sentence. If we were quoting an entire sentence word for word then they need to be used. For example I think we should use them along the following lines
Predident Bush called for an increase in troop levels in Iraq.
President Bush said, "an increase in troop level in Iraq is needed".
But I agree that we were quoting directly from the statement so I made the wording more neutral. Do you agree, or are more changes needed there?
I'm not exactly sure whats happening with the trial though. I believe the suspects are on bail, accoding to this article [6] but that seems to be no news on whats happeing right now. I doubt it has been closed as there will have been reports on it if it was, and I do know that the average court case in Sri Lanka takes something like 12 years, so by all likelyhod its still ongoing. So I think we sould just say "the case is ongoing".
And thanks for helping to make this and other articles NPOV. -- snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 20:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
I've read your reply and changed my vote to Weak Delete accordingly. It isn't really a case of my "re-examining" the references; as I stated, I can't check out the book sources (not having access to a scientific library) and I know next to nothing about this field. I simply assumed that the books cited were relevant to Vibraimage and therefore constituted verification of the article's claims, but per WP:AGF I will take your word for it that they are not relevant, pending additional information.

While I appreciated your efforts to keep Wikipedia clean of unnecessary material, I don’t appreciate your direct reverts of my edits here and here. I happen to be doing research for book on human chemistry. Because of this I have read two of Gottman’s books, one of Eckman’s books, and several other books with sections on 1/45th of a second microexpressions, all of which are related to external detection of internal emotional states. Research done in this area is very hard to find. Hence, having heard of vibraimage only recently, which thus led be to read some of their papers, I linked the three together via the “see also” section, which is where related links go, per Wikipedia:See also, which states that: the "See also" section provides an additional list of internal links to other articles in the Wikipedia that are related to this one as a navigational aid, and it should ideally not repeat links already present in the article. Subsequently, your overzealous cleaning efforts, in regards to these see also reverts, are a detriment (kind of like a slap in the face) to not only my contribution efforts, but also to other researchers who may want to find quick access to related material, such as emotional detection. Please keep this in mind during future edits. Thank you: -- Sadi Carnot 05:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I just want to say that I found your {{ prod}} of Hippy Motorbikes Season 1 utterly hilarious! You wrote:

The given reason was amusing, but the edit summary put it over the top: prod: bummer, man.
Thank you for that excellent contribution. ;) Cheers, Black Falcon 02:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
