ZFS

I think I've fixed the ZFS situation, but it's late and I'd appreciate it if you could look things over and make sure everything is ship shape.--Commander Keane 18:56, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, everything's ducky. Obrigato! --moof 19:18, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Dispute and editing the dates

And what is your source? The Strauss/Howe's generation years are listed right here on wikipedia, look up their names and the years that I put are the ones they use. You have Gen X ending in 1977 or whatever, and that's nothing but your opinion. The Generation articles are all under dispute because they're simply not factual for the most part. The only real fact to go on (for dates) is the Strauss and Howe dates, since they in fact came up with all the generations.

LOL

I've run across a couple, actually. Catamorphism 20:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

UNIX NPOV in Linux entry

D'oh. Missed that. I just reverted the GNU change to the same entry, too. Good catch on your part. Georgewilliamherbert 23:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

now, is that service or what?

See omega-consistent theory. --Trovatore 06:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

AIV vs VIP

Hi Dogcow/Archive1. I noticed you added an entry to Vandalism in Progress. That page is only for very specific cases, as described by the page's guidelines. Your alert would be better placed on Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV), where it will usually be processed within minutes. Many alerts that are incorrectly placed on Vandalism in Progress are never dealt with, simply because they become old before an administrator gets to them. Thanks for your efforts. :) --lightdarkness ^(talk) 01:16, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Cafeichigo13.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cafeichigo13.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 23:02, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Rikdo Koshi

Another thing - the WP manual of style for japanese specifically states the macron'ed versions of long vowels should be used, and you replaced a couple instances of them with ou. --moof 00:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

The MOS specifically states that the macronned form should be used only if no other form can be found. See point five, "Macron usage..." I think I am in full compliance with the MOS. --Monocrat 00:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Contract with America

It's no big deal, but I note the following from the article: the Contract was signed by all but two of the Republican members of the House, and all of the Party's non-incumbent Republican Congressional candidates.

In other words, saying "X signed the contract" is really just saying "X was a Republican incumbent or candidate in the U.S. House in 1994." John Broughton 14:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Jello Biafra and Church of the Subgenius

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Jello Biafra. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Rsm99833 04:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

yog[h]urt

In yogurt, when you %s/yogurt/yoghurt/g'ed, you whacked the spelling section which was supposed to contain all the variants. Be a little more wary of such global replaces next time, 'kay? :) --moof 09:48, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry! Thanks for fixing it! —Mets501 (talk) 11:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Limited liability company external links

Hi Dogcow. You recently edited the external links section of the limited liability company article. there has been some change there recently and I'm asking all regular editors to comment on the links on the talk page under the Links heading so we can come to a consensus about what should be on the articles page. Your comments would be much appreciated. Thanks --Siobhan Hansa 03:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
