Talk:Anglican Communion

I assume that the WPCD tag was removed because it's subsumed in the WP1.0 tag. Whether that's the best thing I don't know... -- BPMullins | Talk 00:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Environmentalism

Good answer, It seems to me there is range of beliefs from a simple conflict for resources, for example using rivers for dumping waste vs use for swimming, fishing, drinking water etc, and seeking to save nature for its own sake. Anyway, I figured anyone who edits the Mark Trail article couldn't be all bad. Regards, KAM 00:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Assessment

Hello,

I would like to ask you that when you do assessment for environment articles, please don't add importence to it (e.g. List of environmental books). This is to prevent users from starting a dispute on which importence the article should belong to. Thanks for helping with assessment.

If you are interested, you should join Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (novel)

Bearing in mind that your renaming of these article is actually back to front as the "primary work" is the novel, not the films. So please do no more such renames, thanks. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 13:16, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

RCC vs. CC

What was concluded? I've read through everything from 2006 and I can't find a conclusion. List of Archbishops of Canterbury: I really don't think it is appropriate to label those sections of the list in that manner to begin with. It should be Saxon to Reformation and Reformation to Present. That is how it is on the lists for York, Winchester, ALL of the others are like that. I am sure my debate partner doesn't know about any of the other sees and is just messing with ABC to be disruptive. Is there something I can do other then stalemate him? He won't accept any solution other then his own.SECisek 20:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Being civil

Please be WP:CIVIL and do not accuse me of promoting illegal drugs on wikipedia. That is an outrageous comment and will certainlyy be reported as an unjustifiable personal attack if it is ever repeated. Please take this warning serriously. Furthermore our cannabis articles do not promote the use of this substance as an illegal drug so your comment was off the walll. I had opened a discussion on the weed talk page which I notice you couldnt be bothered to respond to when you revetred me, and you havent addressesd the issues, if you want to do so please do so on the talk page, SqueakBox 18:47, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. I'll wait a couple more days to see if we get more input. Cheers, SqueakBox 00:55, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Invasive Species

Anytime.  :) May I ask why you don't have a user page? Cheers, Corvus coronoides _talk 19:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

{{Horticulture and gardening -stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 01:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

TEC v ECUSA

I was just trying to cite. It was not my intention to touch the acronyms. Neither are approved in the work cited and both should be acceptable in my opinion. Which ever will keep the peace is fine with me. I use ECUSA but would not want to hurt anybody's feelings over it. Thanks for the head's up. Not to bother all of WP about it but have youu seen our work on Dunstan? -- SECisek 23:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Vermicompost

The article Vermicompost you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Vermicompost for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review. Neil916 (Talk) 00:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Project banners and templates go on talk pages not on article pages, please remove.

Project banners and templates go on talk pages, not on article pages, and I think the farming one is way over the top with inappropriate links to unrelated topics for the pages it is on. KP Botany 04:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Album covers

Hey, noticed your query over the album covers not being free to use. I'm no image expert but album covers are usually allowed to be used under Fair Use, but only to illustrate something that is directly related to the image. In other words, you can use the image in the article about the album itself, but not in an article which indirectly discusses it. So, in summary, they don't belong in the band article, just a discography list will do.

I should note that all Fair Use images require a specific fair use rationale to be provided on the image's page explaining its use. See Image:Queen_A_Day_At_The_Races.png for an example. The Rambling Man 12:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Snape

Hi. Since we seem to be having an edit conflict on the article, I suggest we talk if over on that article's Talk Page. I've begun by listing the main areas of contention, and my views thereof. Let me know what you think. Thanks. Nightscream 05:32, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Bcp

I am not sure who was responsible for the amendments. what we seem to have is a dog's dinner. I shall attempt to restore it. I am afraid that you recent alterations don't hlpe.Roger Arguile 13:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I am afraid that I have removed your attempts at clarification. I have set out in short order the main matters covered. Some of what was added was duplication and some was erronious - thought i have not chekced as to who wrote what. I don't think an intro is the place for the amount of detail that arrived there.

GA pass for Dunstan

Congratulations on an excellent copyedit on the suggestions provided. I now have no hesitation in passing Dunstan as a Good Article, and have updated the templates on the article talk page. You may wish to copy the following template: {{User Good Article|Dunstan}} and paste it to somewhere suitable (such as your user page).

It will produce the following userbox

This user helped promote Dunstan to good article status.

and add you to the category "Good Article contributors".

Well done! EyeSerene^TALK 19:50, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanksgiving and Agriculture

I've posted a remark in Talk:Thanksgiving. I thought I'd let you know, since it's in relation to changes you made. Please let me know what you think. —P^urpleRA^IN 18:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Harry and the Potters on hold

Thanks for the feedback. I have now reviewed the article and placed it 'on hold' pending a few issues being addressed. It is definitely approaching GA status, but there is still some work to do. Further comments are on the article talk page. Regards, EyeSerene^TALK 17:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for the kind words. The whole Edmund the Martyr thing has me a little raw, but I suspect it is near a resolution. I would just rather be working on Richard Hooker or the COTM than be fighting about undisputable facts that can be found in any reference work. Opinion is NOT divided on a subject just because a few (often anon.) editors say they are right and everything else ever written is wrong.

BTW the on-line Encyclopædia Britannica has no entry for Protestant Episcopal Church, but does list it as an alternate name of the Episcopal Church, USA. -- SECisek 21:10, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

COTM

These tags go on talk pages, not on the articles, themselves. Please resist the urge to make the articles look so awful. KP Botany 17:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Snape Edits

I was wondering if you noiticed that you identified Snape by namea little too often. I understand if you are concerned with verbo confusion, etc. but it seems to be overused a bit. Maybe you could take a look and revise it a bit? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 22:43, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments on my talk age. Maybe I do overdo it a bit, but I do try to leaven it with the more reasonable folk by explaining my reasons (the ass-clowns not really being able to read). I am sorry that you feel I am too much on your case. I was just pointing out the overuse of Snape in your edits. Cheers, ;) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 00:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Lol, I think that your comment is perhaps the first time I've ever been described as 'timid.' I don't mind those who edit boldly, but it often works out better to let people know what you are doing, so if they have a problem with it, you can avoid an edit war. It constantly surprises me how some editors seriously believe that in Wikipedia they have finally found that one place where they can walk into a room and push people up against the walls with their great, big brains. As if intellect could replace the basic politenesses. Anyway, it's been awesome to chat. :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Draco Malfoy

You really need to stop overediting the Malfoy page (Fifteen edits is way too much.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.109.218.226 (talk) 20:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Yea, a bit overboard. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 20:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
