Parachute Hankies

Hello, I'm trying to preserve this wonderful song written by Ms. Giroux, but as you see there isn't any trace of it online! I have viewed a rare recording of its performance, given to my German class by Colonel Gail Halvorsen himself, on a DVD. I have contacted Ms. Giroux asking for an audio copy of the song, but she does not even have one herself! Is there any way I can either cite my correspondence (via email) with Ms. Giroux, or perhaps somehow upload the footage of the performance online to corroborrate the article? I only wish to preserve this historic song, so that it won't fade in time forever (as it is nearly lost if not for Col. Halvorsen's recording.) Thanks, goob.

It would seem

it would seem that you are on a wiki cleaning rampage. im fine with that, i dont want wiki to end up as another en-dramatica. however, the mmog evolution page IS NOT worthy of deletion, so when we have it finished, and remove that annoying notice, please dont replace it.

Aquinas College, Perth & Related Pages

It would seem that you are on a wiki cleaning rampage. im fine with that, but the Aquinas College, Perth related pages deserve to be on wikipedia and you should not nominate them for deletion. Please find something else to do. Smbarnzy 08:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well would you agree to delete some and keep others? i think there should be a vote on each individual piece, not them as a group, i admit some are abit dodgy, but others should be kept - mainly sport. Smbarnzy 10:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man, thank you for your notice on the Aquinas College, Perth related articles, but your cleaning rampage is over. Your deletion request was removed :) thank god for that. Anywho, have a nice Christmas. Smbarnzy 16:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Huon, ive changed all of the references, thanks for ur offer of help. I need to reference the other articles, ive cut out the irrelevant references for each individual article, just need to put in the references, but i dont think im doing it correctly...like they arent linked up etc? is there some page on how to reference? Thanks. Smbarnzy 16:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, The Christian Brothers College (est 1894) was a founding member of the PSA in 1905. CBC became two separate schools - Aquinas College and Trinity College. Aquinas College kept all of the sporting records of CBC, whereas Trinity did not. Effectively in the eyes of the PSA: Aquinas College is the new name of CBC. Confusing for outsiders i know, but a good question. Thanks =) Smbarnzy 16:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aquinas College, Perth

Hey Doctor =) you seem to be pretty with it, so i was wondering if you could review my article on Aquinas College, Perth at Wikipedia:Peer review/Aquinas College, Perth/archive4 , I have spent a considerable amount of time on this article and have been lacking in the feedback dept. Thanks =) Smbarnzy 12:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

we did place sources. didn't you see the link to NeonWiki? (evolution wiki) and there is also the link to the game itself. if a wiki dedicated to the game doesnt count as a valid source, and the game doesnt ether, then you will not find a single source of information. all the information provided IS accurate, and none of it is original research. i have seen some people use LJ blogs as a source of information, perhaps if i posted one? (three guesses what the username is!) i think you should try playing Evo, you can join [LOL]. it will be fun, i promise! Evil oranges 02:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Salyersville

As a member of the American Civil War Task Force, I stumbled on to this article during a minor canvass of Kentucky-related battles. I reworded the poorly written article for as a part of the Task Force's attempts to clean up all Civil War articles. In further research, I found your test article, which frankly I think should be substituted for my rewrite. Please do so at your earliest convenience.

Im feeling a bit isolated here. I feel I have a very good point. Some people are suggesting all sorts of funny thing like that Jewry is an anti-semitic term, is archaic, includes only religous jews etc. What are your opinioin on my idea to rename Jewish Population 'World Jewry'?

0.999... and 1

Hi Huon!

I hope you have now learnt that Infinite 0.9 is <> 1

It's the same as trying to say there is an end to the universe! we see the Brick wall but know the number continues!

A.R.B (FLT DEMONSTRATOR 1998)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. No, I haven't learnt that 0.999... is unequal to 1; quite the contrary, I can prove the equality (and repeatedly have done so). Physical examples have little relation to pure mathematics. --Huon 14:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completely disagree with the algebraic proof. if you do the sum in reverse it does not work. ps sorry for adding nonsense. i wont do it again

Thanks for helping with Bernhard Heine

Hello Huon, Thanks for your help with the Bernhard Heine article, whose page title I had spelt wrongly when moving it from the sandbox. As a native German I would also be grateful for any comment on and corrections of spelling, grammar and style of my English articles. Thanks a lot. Hans555_talk May 7, 2007

You're welcome. Since I'm not a native speaker of English either, I'm not the best authority on spelling and grammar, but I'll have a look. The Heine article looked very good to me. Yours, Huon 14:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Kelvin Pham, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tikiwont 09:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't create it, but userfied it. What's left is a redirect, which should be speedily deleted. But I intended to wait for a day or two in case User:Kelvinpham didn't agree with me. --Huon 09:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moshpit Tragedy Records

Huon, there are two links from the radio show. One is a smaller snippet, please have a listen to that one. It will help, as the host says the label is giving away free music and how people can get it. I haven't included any of the label's press releases as an actual reference, only as an outside article for more info for readers. I am just a fan of the label but have done too much work to let it go. The Extinction of Mankind release is high profile, and so was the Eyehategod cancellation, thats why it is noted, it was a talked widely about among metal and punk fans. If it is decided more is still needed please let me know, I know it can be proven because the label's stance on the current record industry and their actions are at the forefront in terms of direction for small labels especially. Thanks.Moshpit tragedy 21:35, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the recent edit you made to Mutumwa Mawere has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

Mawere

Um....the 'See Also' section that you deleted the other day.....it wasn't meant to be that you are related to those people. No. It's like.....if one reads about J'burg, that person might really like to read about Pretoria, right? Why? Becuase they are both cities in SA. Now, to your case. I had included Gono, Chiyangwa on the see also section. Why? You guys are both businessmen or were in Zimbabwe. Likely one person that read your wars with Mugabe would love to read about Gono, the man who weilds the sabre at innocent people on behalf of his master, Mugabe. I hope this makes sense. I will go ahead and put back the 'See also' section.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Megy

This gesture has roots in Trinidadian culture and its name was not derived based on a word. Due to its nature, it has not found itself to be documented or labeled in any text as it is a fairely recent developement. It is also only practiced by a certain age group (mainly adolecents) in the country. Any cultural expert in Trinidad and Tobago with knowledge on adolecent sub-culture will be able to validate this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.140.155.41 (talk) 20:48, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs and notability

Thanks for giving that Super Comet article a second look. Just to clarify my position, Wikipedia currently has the view - established a few years back - that with the exception of blogs done by notable people, that they are automatically to be discounted. However the world has changed and blogs are increasingly being seen as sources of record. Sites like The Smoking Gun, which is a blog, is being used as source material by news organizations. The Grudge Report blog is being used now as source material by the likes of the AP and CNN. My point is Wikipedia's policy regarding blogs is very outdated and needs to be reevaluated, because the fact is we'll be seeing more and more topics that are exclusively discussed on blogs as time goes on and Internet culture continues to develop at an exponential rate. Obviously some blogs are just nonsense, but I've lost count how many official announcements of products, of films, etc., have been made via message boards and blogs, and no longer through "traditional" news sources or press releases. It's no different from the growing number of musical artists who aren't bothering to work with record companies anymore and are releasing their work exclusively through websites. Not long ago, personal websites weren't considered RS either, but that's changed in the last couple of years. The notablity of made-for-Internet productions is also something that needs to be reevaluated, now that we have things like Star Trek Phase II being nominated for Hugo Awards and networks announcing web-only series such as that thing with Rosario Dawson.

Gotcha, I do get steamed up over this guy; besides his incessant, passive aggressive disruptions and annihilations of talk pages and articles, I find his constant degradation and debasement of Holocaust related articles that many people have put effort into to be obnoxiously voyeuristic and offensive (and I and other editors had to waste hours monitoring and fixing his trail of chaos).

Hi Huon, I added information on the talk page regarding the deletion for your consideration. I am trying to learn how to improve the page, my apologies.

I do not know if 'conflic of interest' affects this page or not, my only interest here is to ensure that the information regarding ESB London includes the research institute, otherwise it is inacurate. The information can be verified via the official website but also, if necessary the college will issue documentation.
