Crazy changes by Gilgamesh edit

Unfortunately, User:Gilgamesh is now imposing his own views by changing the transliterated Hebrew names of articles with redirects to unreadable Hebrew names and fonts, as if his criteria are the only ones to reckon with, when there are in fact several. My computer, as I am sure many others' as well, does not pick up his type of fonts, and thus he is messing up articles such as Safed, Hadera, Holon, Afula, Arad, Israel and many others defacing them and making them unreadable on the web. He is going to DESTROY the normal usage of Wikipedia's Hebrew transliterations to satisfy his own needs without there being any consensus. Common usages are being thrown out in favor of obscure and pedantic academic usages familiar to only a handful of unkown academics. He should be called upon to stop BEFORE he rushes to do further damage without any consensus being reached. All his changes should therefore be reverted. See all his recent contributions via: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Gilgamesh I thank you for your interest, and urge all readers here to act.

Hebrew naming conventions edit

At the present time there is a serious discussion taking place, aiming at some consensus that will result in "official" Wikipedia guidelines about how Hebrew should be used and written in Wikipedia articles. Because of your past or ongoing interest in these type of articles with Hebrew words in them, your attention is called to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew) [1] TO MAKE YOUR VIEWS KNOWN AND TO ADD TO THE DISCUSSION BEFORE THE "DOORS ARE SHUT" PLEASE SEE THE RELATED DISCUSSION PAGE AT Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Hebrew) [2] Thank you!

Re: John von Neumann edit

Itai, how can you justify removing from the John von Neumann article the cellular automata category reference, when it is von Neumann who invented the concept? William R. Buckley 07:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

- Itai, your suggestion is not too bad, actually. I would want to include some kind of reference within the article proper, however. Of course, the text of this comment comes without an in-depth analysis of your reasoning, so perhaps I am missing some detail of your reasoning. What I find most palatable is the notion of working together, and in this respect, you will find no complaint from me. So, give me a little more time to review the justification you gave on my user talk page. Once I am sure of your intent, I will make a starting effort at the change you suggest, and notify you of my start on your talk page. That will facilitate synchronisation of our efforts. By the way, send me email at the address given on my talk page. I would like to know the identity of those with whom I correspond, etc. William R. Buckley 06:02, 7 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sinking of RMS Leinster edit

There seems to be a conflict of information regarding the U-123 (or is it the UB-123?) and the sinking of the RMS Leinster (see my Wikipedia article 'RMS Leinster').

You claim that the U-123 under the command of Karl Thouret sank the Leinster and ended her days being run aground on the east coast of Britain in 1921.

All sources regarding the sinking of the Leinster say that she was sunk by the U (or UB?) -123 under the command of Robert Ramm and that this u-boat did not manage to survive for long after doing so but fell foul of the North Sea barrage and sunk before the war ended when returning to her base at Zeebrugge.

What is the source, etc., that you have on the boat that sunk the Leinster and what is your view of this contradiction. Can you respond to this query on my talk page, if possible.

Looking forward to your response,

What Itai Doesn't Want People To Know edit

The adjacent box reveals what Itai doesn't want people to know about himself. Incidentally, we have actually edited at least one article in common. I edited the Usenet article (anonymously) twice on 8 March 2006 which you had edited once on 7 February that same year.

I made a slightly cheeky edit recently. I changed the template that says, "This Australian government-related article is a stub" so that it now features a picture of a galah - a bird culturally associated with stupidity. In so doing I vastly improved upon the previous picture, which nobody could possibly tell what it was without clicking on it. Zerrakhi 15:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

International English grammar edit

About your edit in Klingon language, from (a) "Paramount Pictures owns the copyright" to (b) "Paramount Pictures own the copyright":   (a) is correct in American usage: "Paramount Pictures", though a plural formation, is the name of a singular legal entity, a corporation, and therefore takes a singular verb.   (b) is correct in British usage: collective nouns (even if singular) take plural verbs, e.g. "the public say..." rather than "the public says...".   So in effect you have edited correct American English grammar into correct British English grammar.   Another person might with equal validity make the opposite edit.   Is there a Wikipedia policy on which grammar should apply in this case?   Wikipedia's international; the Klingon language is used internationally; Paramount's products are marketed internationally; but the company itself is headquartered in the USA.   Should any of these facts be considerations, or should one grammar be "standard" across the board? -- SAJordan 16:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC) (please reply wherever convenient to you)Reply

A request for assistance edit

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 02:50 3 January 2007 (UTC).

  • I added some appropriate cats and fixed up the format some little bit. I'm in the middle of nesting that within a three column table on one page.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Alt.sex, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
