Redirect deletions

I see you've been following rapidly behind my deletions! Sorry I omitted to delete the associated Talk pages - not concentrating, I guess. Isn't there a problem with the move to Saturn II, though, since that name also refers to Saturn's second moon? (Please reply here - I'll be watching) —SMALL JIM 13:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. The talk pages were probably my fault, I should have tagged them. Saturn II shouldn't be a problem, as the use of this designation for Enceladus is fairly uncommon. I think the best course of action is to use the same approach as on Saturn I, and have the rocket as the main article, with at disambiguation link to the moon. There are only two items, so that should be okay. I've already put a disambiguation link on Saturn II (rocket). I can't see a problem, but if you'd prefer me to take this through AFD or PROD, that's fine by me. If you get a chance, could you please take a look at R-12 (missile) and R-12 Dvina. Is there a way to move the latter, whilst retaining the histories of both pages, as they were merged a while back. Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 13:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with following Saturn I - you obviously know what you're doing :) I see someone else has deleted the page anyway. I'll look into your other question, but I'm not an expert. Cheers, —SMALL JIM 14:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 14:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh damn. Followed instructions here. Was looking good till I clicked rollback at the end and have apparently lost the lot in an infinite redirect loop. Will urgently see what can be done. Very sorry :-(((( —SMALL JIM 14:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's fixed. Perhaps you'd better get someone more competent to help in future ;) —SMALL JIM 15:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your help. I should be able to do the rest without admin assistance. Thanks. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 15:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

←Thanks for the recognition. It might be smart to check those things out next time like the prompt after a successful move suggests (it took a while to find everything wrong; 20 double redirects and 2 triple redirects) -MBK₀₀₄ 23:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I intended to after I'd finished moving the lot of them, but then I got sidetracked. I don't think the triple redirects are my fault, I didn't move anything more than once. If they're a result of my moves, then they must've already been doubles. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 07:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

an humbly request

Dear editor GW_Simulations, please allow me to request your attention to the following brief lines comment of mine at the Wikinews: [1]. I have noticed your latest words at the news community at the time you wrote them and through them I realized the difficulty I would face in having my news article published. In spite of my comment at the above link, bitter words rooted in the sorrow I felt when confronted with the unwillingness of the review editors in publishing those news; I come here to humbly request your experience and valuable efforts in order that you may somehow Aid in the publication of those news [2] which, being not offensive to anyone, may be able to bring Joy to many anonymous individuals of Good Will dispersed worldwide.
I am aware it is an unusual strange request but let me assure you that it intends no promotion but only to spread good news into the very troubled world we currently dwell in. Also, your user page is very interesting; I am somewhat familiarized with aerospace engineering (avionics) [3]; as such let me suggest your attention to some innovative brief words by an aerospace engineer [4] and to those challenging ones by a retired elderly British electrical engineer [5], whose published work, going through more than a half century, I have found to be most valuable to the advancement that Science (i.e. physics, cosmology and technology fields) is currently looking for. Thank You in advance. Best regards, --Tekto9 (talk) 22:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
