I'm sorry, I didn't look at that more carefully. I thought you were replacing the page with something inappropriete, vandalizing. Please accept my most sincere apologies.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk contribs) 00:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

AI: response. edit

So, if I say "its proper class like" you'd still know what I'd mean, but would it still be valid? How can "greater AI" ever be confusing? It just means a higher level of AI – and remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, so no colloquialisms allowed. If you have any problems with that discuss it on my talk page.

Custer edit

Thanks for deleting that blog. It became completely irrelevant when it became apparent you had ended your poorly reasoned revert war over the use of the word rape. From my perspective that was by far more amusing than the blog you removed. Albion moonlight 07:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Genre edit

I fail to see how Tenjho Tenge is sengoku-jidai‎. However, the genre should be added there if that is the case. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 18:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Austria Invitation edit

 

Hello, Graf Bobby! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Austria and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

Spam in Gazelle (company) edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Gazelle (company), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Gazelle (company) is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Gazelle (company), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

No interviews or biographies available to expand/source the article

Quentin-Claude Bendier edit

I am concerned that there are no hits for this name on Google Books or Google Scholar. Please can you give some assurance that this person actually existed, preferably by adding citations to reliable sources to the article? Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:04, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I suspect this is an error for Claude Bendier, for whom there appear to be reliable sources indicating that he was the author of "La défense des principales prérogatives de la ville de Saint-Quentin (1671)" at least. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 18:52, 4 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately the two references you gave are derived from Wikipedia and thus cannot be used to support the article. I suggest moving the article to Claude Bendier, for whom there are references such as Bulletin de la Société académique de Laon (1861) p.142 [1]; Nicolas Lenglet Dufresnoy, New method of studying history: recommending more easy and complete instructions for improvement in that science than any hitherto extant: with the whole apparatus necessary to form a perfect historian ... Originally written in French by M. Langlet du Fresnoy ... Since translated into Italian ..., Volume 2 of New Method of Studying History: Recommending More Easy and Complete Instructions for Improvement in that Science Than Any Hitherto Extant: with the Whole Apparatus Necessary to Form a Perfect Historian ... Originally Written in French by M. Langlet Du Fresnoy ... Since Translated Into Italian, with Considerable Additions. The Whole Made English, with Variety of Improvements and Corrections ... Also, a Dissertation by Count Scipio Maffei of Verona, Nicolas Lenglet Dufresnoy, Printed for W. Burton, 1728 [2]. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:05, 5 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
