Thank you

Dear Zeibura, Thanks for the edit in Polylepis Australis page, much appreciated. --Cyril Thomas 21:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no problem, nice work with the article! - Zeibura S. Kathau ^{(Info | Talk)} 21:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Dear Zeibura, you incorrectly turned my page about 'tonx' into a user page for me 'thetonx'. This was not what I wanted, I have every intention of changing the content on the age and will do so immediately. It would be great if you could do the same. - User:Thetonx

Sorry!

I do not wish to be blocked from editing, the content from my talk page was deleted by accident. Thank you. User:72.85.214.20, 14 April 2007

Hey! Thanks

Yeah, I think the IPA is great, thanks. There is an issue regarding Old English, because "long" vowels in OE were a matter of duration, not of quality. So you are perfectly correct, Hey! has a diphthong, which is technically not a short vowel. However, it is pronounced with shorter duration than hay. The example that made it clear to me was with a different vowel, but here goes anyway. Compare the length of time taken to say the same vowel in beat and bead. Native speakers hold the vowel in bead, to better attack the voicing of the final consonant, and hence distinguish between the two words. The reason Hey! is shorter in articulation than hay is, I presume, simply due to the exclamatory nature of the word. Of course, one could actually draw out the exclamation in many contexts, but normally it's short and sharp, would you agree? Anyway, thanks again and cheers!

Mathias, at his right place

Man, I'm now at pt.wikipedia.org and I think my article was saved. Can ya check it out? http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenadina Hey, Now I've some doubts about links... can you check my article from the inside? I mean click edit and see how it's done. I think that some links are broken for a mistake of mine. Thank you again. I'm here now: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usu%C3%A1rio_Discuss%C3%A3o:Mathias_dam

i wouldn't really be able to check that for you, seeing as i don't understand portuguese, sorry! but if there were broken links it seems someone's already fixed them, it looks perfectly well formatted to me. - Zeibura S. Kathau ^{(Info | Talk)} 10:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Church Mountain

Hey, sorry if I caught you with the CSD tag on Church Mountain when you were writing the article. Generally, it's a good idea to write articles in a text editor or Sandbox before creating them and just copy them over, because I'm sure there are bots out there looking for empty pages to put tags on automatically. I'm not a bot, I just got a bit carried away before having read about 10 consecutive spam pages, so yeah, sorry! - Zeibura S. Kathau (Info | Talk) 11:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem - Normally I'd have a more complete draft done before loading - I was just being sloppy! (Sarah777 12:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC))[reply]

please give notification of speedy tags.

Hi, I notice you placed a speedy deletion tag on Ivar van tol, but you didn't notify the article creator. If you read the tag, you'll see that it creates a pre-formatted notice, like {{subst:nn-warn|Ivar van tol}} ~~~~ ... please use these in the future. it's important especially for new users to understand why their pages are being deleted. Thanks, — coel acan — 16:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

gotcha, cheers. - Zeibura S. Kathau ^{(Info | Talk)} 03:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging reposted material (a tiny advice!)

Dear Zeibura, thank you so much for the awesome work you're doing at RC patrol - I think I've disposed quite a lot of articles you tagged for speedy deletion, and that in the last minutes alone! ;) One small clarification regarding the use of {{db-repost}} (CSD G4), tho: it doesn't apply to speedily deleted material, like Guy Johnson (saint). Quoting from WP:CSD: (it covers) copies of material that was previously deleted after an XfD discussion. Articles that were only previously speedily deleted do not fall under this category. Just a tiny advice that I thought you might find useful... and that we all were pointed to at some point of our wiki career! ;) Anyway, keep up the good work. Have a great day!
