Dutch (ethnic group)

There are serious problems with the accuracy and neutrality of this article. It should not be considered as a candidate for Good Article in its present state. It has been used in the past to promote Greater Netherlands irredentism, and contained much pseudo-historical material. After deletions in December, this problem has resurfaced. Articles related to Dutch and Flemish identity and history attract posting by Dutch and Flemish nationalists, and stability should not be taken as an indication of accuracy.Paul111 13:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC) Although the article was failed, the political uses were not the reason. Articles related to nationalism and ethnicity at Wikipedia attract propagandistic content, and since there is no guarantee that they can be kept free of this, in principle I don't think any of them qualify for any commendation.Paul111 11:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

WP:ADOPT

Hi there,

As a user looking to Adopt with the Adopt-a-User program, there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention, as well as request help with the backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

You should know that the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user on offering adoption please change the {{Adoptme}} template to {{Adoptoffer}} on the user's user page, and this will add the user to Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking. Once adoption is complete please use the templates found here on the Adoptee's and your user page.

Also numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a list of users available for adopting, to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user.

Furthermore a new Adopter's Area has been created where you can find useful resources and other Adopter's experiences. Please feel free to add any resources you have and if you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them here.

So I hope you get adopting soon - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User please bring them to our talk page. Cheers Lethaniol 15:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Adopt me

Hi, I just got your offer. I'd love to have you as an adopter.

I don't expect to be a frequent editor and writer, but I occasionally need help with the more advanced stuff. I'll probably be pretty low-maintenance.

So you know, my real expertise lies in math, though I tend to use Wikipedia for other subjects.

Thanks!! Dominicanpapi82 01:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Takfir wal-Hijra‎

Your edit to Takfir wal-Hijra‎ was ok, but there's actually a big difference between "Takfiris" and "Kafirs"... AnonMoos 10:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Iran ratings

You need not use loaded terms to describe why you rate articles as you do-the terms you use run the risk of offending. I hope you take this in the spirit it is meant. Chris 04:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, no, that was the only one, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness in getting back to me. Happy Wikiing! Chris 01:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for tag

I knew I had seen it somewhere. Now that it on the WTC article, I will know where to find it. Ronbo76 21:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Galf 22:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you sooo much for doing that. :) Cbrown1023 talk 15:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Fact tags

Could you try to motivate why you inserted fact tags in the history of Poland (1945-1989)? Right now it just looks like you piked a few random facts to tag. You should specify why you want something cited on talk pages before adding tags.

Arabic script

Hi there. Noticed you were assessing articles recently, and tagging some for Arabic. Here's a good tip: in some articles you can copy the text from the Arabic Wikipedia interwiki link and use it for the Arabic script in the lead (using {{lang-ar|'''AR'''}}). It is almost always correct. Cheers! - Anas ^talk? 22:47, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

peer eview for ethnic groups

Hi Fsotrain09! :-)

I believe the work with the template for "peer review" and "old-peer-review" is done. There are still some places where elbow grease needs to be applied:

• I used Talk:Popora people as a test case... you can get rid of the peer review variables on that page's template once you're satisfied everything works OK.
• Copy documentation from Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Peer review, making any necessary changes. It should mostly be identical, I guess, except for changing the word "Biography" to "Ethnic groups" But there may be other changes needed as well; I haven't really read it.
• I dunno if you wanna add any text to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic groups/Peer review/Announce. I don't think the relevant Biography page has anything on it. Articles can be added in the same way as Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review describes.
• Purely optional: There may be some verbiage on Category:Ethnic groups articles needing merge action that you may want to copy (after altering suitably) to the two new categories:
  

• Category:Requests for Ethnic groups peer review
• Category:Old requests for Ethnic groups peer review

• Let me know (via email preferably; I keep swearing I won't log onto Wiki 'cause I need to study ) if you have q's. Later! --Ling.Nut 23:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome! --Ling.Nut 19:20, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Welcome

Thank you for the warm welcome to the wikipedian community. I do not have any questions (yet) but I appreciate your concern and invitation to ask them here. Miggyb 20:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

SPATRA Civil Code of Argentina finished.

Hi. I havent worked in many SPATRA colaborations, so i dont know the exact procedure. I think the Civil Code article is now translated so maybe it's time to select the next one. I've seen that you were the one who changed to previous one, and i dont know who is supposed to do it, so... just telling you, I think the article is ready to go to the main page, but it still has some copy-edit work to do, so maybe we should post it in the "Translated articled which need revision" in the wikipedia:translation into english page, or whatever is usually done in these cases. --Wafry 14:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Taiwanese aborigines

Wikiproject ratings are independent of WP:GA. The previous GA fails were... other than the issue of mixed reference styles -- extremely questionable. In my opinion, this article is not only GA, it is in fact way past GA. :-)

But whatever.

--Ling.Nut 16:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Turney article

I've altered the Turney article again, what you had done would have been correct if one served on ships, but actually one serves in, so the basis was already wrong. Sorted now though. :) ALR 17:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

The ethnic groups category thing

I just came over here based on discussion at Template talk:Ethnic groups#Peer review parameter and & see that you left comments on Voice of All's user talk page. Has this been sorted out? - Jmabel | Talk 01:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for your comments on Taiwanese aborigines! Sorry if I was a little snippy when you changed its rating in WP:ETHNIC. I was feeling a bit crabby that day, I suppose.... Thanks again! --Ling.Nut 19:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

• Fixed the prob you mentioned; thanks again! --Ling.Nut 01:11, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

re:translation

hi Fsotrain. i'm not a fluent speaker of Arabic, i'm still actually learning the language -- so i probably wouldn't be the best person to consult. you might want to ask User:FayssalF. he seems to be saying something about calendar usage, with reference to the chinese calendar.. but i don't know much more than that. talk page comments should really be in English anyway i guess. thanks ITAQALLAH 12:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

You did a speedy delete of this page. I would have liked to check it first - is there any way of restoring the content? Leave me a note on my talk page. Thanks. Cbdorsett 07:19, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

June 25 news item

Hi there. I appreciate your concern for making sure the SCOTUS news headline kept to an NPOV, but I think you went overboard since the description of the news items were basically taken from the headlines to which they were linked. If you still have specific concerns, please post them to my talk page. Groupthink 20:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject:Terrorism

Greetings,

I was hoping I could get some input from you, about the proposed mergerof WikiProject:Terrorism and counter-terrorism with Wikiproject:Terrorism. It seems there's a lot of overlap between the two projects, and if we spent a few days merging the lists of articles, sharing ideas and collaborating on improving the same articles which both projects are focused on improving...we could really make some headway. Whether you're in favour, or against, the idea of a merger - I'd appreciate some feedback regardless. Much thanks. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 21:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

FAC Golden Film

Thank you for commenting on the featured article candidacy of Golden Film. I responded to your comment. – Ilse@ 08:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

FACs

Hi Fsotrain09. I just wanted to let you know that it is usually not good practice to strike through others' comments on an FAC. You are supposed to let the reviewer decide whether the comment has actually been addressed and let them strike through it if so. Instead, either write DONE next to the comment (with your comments after), or add a new line under the comment. I verified that you did fix those (thanks :) ), so I'm fine with the currently stricken ones remaining stricken. Some of the other reviewers get a little heated, though, when their comments are stricken, and following these guidelines will keep you from inadvertently upsetting someone. Thanks! Karanacs 03:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Eva Peron article

I'd like to see it be a featured article, but I'm pretty sure it will be voted down at this point. I think it needs a lot of work, and I'm not sure how to do it all. But it's a good idea, I suppose, to nominate it right now because it can give us an idea of what we need to do. Thanks. -- Andrew Parodi 05:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
