This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

== {{cl|French film stubs}} splits ==

Greetings! I see you have recently created one or more new stub templates or categories. As it states at [[Wikipedia:Stub]], at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types be proposed prior to creation at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]]. This helps to reach consensus about whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries]], where comments are welcome as to any rationale for this stub type. Please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]]! [[User:Dawynn|Dawynn]] ([[User talk:Dawynn|talk]]) 13:37, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

I see you have reverted my edit to the subsection of Tiger Wood's personal life. If it is not a trivia section then what exactly is it other than other? A section titled other would seem to be an open dumping ground for anyone with a Tiger ref. So why not be honest and call it trivia.  Since the section largely deals with the size of his boat and price of his home, perhaps the section can be retitled, "Some things Woods has spent his fortune on".--[[User:Wlmg|Wlmg]] ([[User talk:Wlmg|talk]]) 22:57, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

== Import ==

For articles like [[Legislature V of Italy]] the cleanest way to do it is to get an admin to use [[Special:Import]] to import the article, complete with attribution tail into enwiki, usually in a backwater namespace like Mediawiki talk, then move it into article space or userspace for translation. I'd be willing to do some for you (a limited number - I can't keep up with your edit rate). It's best for articles that have some history and content, I wouldn't bother with importing stubs.

Good to know that my blood, sweat and tears are deeply appreciated. They ''do'' have content, the most important officials of that period. History and text can be added in due course...The reason why we have such gaping holes in the encyclopedia as this is precisely because people "wouldn't bother". Not good enough. ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 18:49, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

:Don't be testy, I didn't put it well - I wouldn't bother to go through "import" for articles with a couple of revisions, but for articles with a few dozen edits and several paragraphs, it's really quite easy, and credits those nice Italians who labored on the articles. See what [[Legislature I of Italy]]'s history looks like now.

::Will do. I've imported rather a lot from frwiki, since I read French reasonably well, and I've filled in a number of the gaping holes nobody cared about, but which matter to me. I've found some quite substantial articles that have gone begging on enwiki that way. However, I personally have just gone ahead and written from scratch when it's just a stub, since there's nothing that needs attribution in such a case. I think Graham87 and I are the leading importers, Graham leads by a mile. Seriously, if you see something that you think ought to be imported, rather than just attributed, let me know.

Hey I started [[Wikipedia:WikiProject TRANSWIKI]] for this purpose!!

Glad to have you on board. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki]] is the project, (correction). We did start planning a bot to generate content like this and to increase the coordination between wikipedias but without any sort of system it is just left to vain attempts of individuals myself to occaisonally  struggle to transfer things and not managing to do it regularly because its so stressful and demanding to do so manually.... !!

== Antarctica articles ==
Hi. I have noticed that you have been creating articles on features of Antarctica mainly using USGS GNIS for the source. Earlier this year, I began merging many of the small articles, especially on mountains and peaks into the respective range page. It is highly unlikely that most of these small articles will be updated anytime soon with more information and most get tagged with various maintenance templates such as the "no or few articles link to this page". So it makes sense to simply merge the small articles on the mountains of a range into the respective range page. You can see examples of the merges at [[Quartermain Mountains]], [[Deep Freeze Range]] and [[Admiralty Mountains]]. A redirect is put in place for the merged from articles. See [[Wikipedia:Notability (geography)]] especially on "Named geographic features" which I think applies to a lot of the articles based solely on GNIS. While that page is not an official policy, I do think that a lot of the mountains and peaks can simply be redirected to the respective range and that page contain the GNIS info on the mountain/peak. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] ([[User talk:RedWolf|talk]]) 06:53, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I have no objections to merging, in fact I would strongly support this for many articles. However the text needs to be written into wikipedia first somewhere.

== Can a talk page section heading be a possible libel of a BLP? ==

88

Shouldn't it be mentioned that she isn't a witch? Robert Berkshire (talk) 20:12, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Why is this section titled "88" it would seem to have no relevancy to the editor's concern. The number 88 is however neo-Nazi code talk [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_%28number%29#As_a_Neo-Nazi_symbol Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other] and perhaps is libel of a BLP even if it's on the talk page.

I actually have his contributions on my to-(re-)do list since March of this year; I just never had a chance to look them over.  Thanks for the reminder!  I do, however, disagree that such edits are welcome and/or useful&mdash;if our readers want a broken machine translation, they can feed the article from ru_wiki to google translate (or any other translation engine of their choice) all on their own.  Dumping such translations into our article space is like dumping waste in a bustling downtown in hopes that folks there might find something that's useful!  If these machine translations were of a resource that's not easily available online, it would have been a different matter, but since they are just ru_wiki translations, I don't really see the benefit (although the users' intentions are, of course, in good faith).

== National parks ==

I did not spot the National Parks template or would have used and extended it. I think [[Template:Protected areas of Nigeria|Protected Areas]] works though. It will not get that large. There are still several missing articles, which I may start after cleaning up the stubs. This is a general subject that seems important to me, and has plenty of good sources. For example, a search on [http://www.google.ca/search?tbs=bks:1,bkv:p&tbo=p&q=omo+forest+reserve&num=10 Omo forest reserve] limited to '''''books with preview and full view''''' gives all sorts of results. It is easy to cobble together a starter article. And then the results are a bit depressing. No villains, just people doing what makes sense in their circumstances, what they have to do, but sad in a way. I will keep plugging away.

== [[Ohosu Game Reserve]] ==

You took off all my tags! I just discovered this great option that gives you a new tab. If you don't like a page you click on the tab, then check all the things you think are wrong with the article. Some of the choices are: article may require additional categories, article may require cleanup, article may be confusing or unclear, article needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, and/or spelling, article needs expansion, article needs attention from an expert on the subject, article lead section is too long and should be shortened or article lead section is too short and should be expanded (do not pick both), tone of article is not appropriate and article needs to be wikified. These all apply to Ohusu Game Reserve. Also they all apply to [[Palo y hueso]]. Come to think of it, they all apply to any article you don't like. I love it. [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 19:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
:I was just kidding. I will expand the Ohosu article. I was playing with the new tool, forgot to back out the result. I personally find these notices giving vague criticism very irritating.

[[Ikoyi]] looks good, but the photo in [[Cross River National Park]] is spectacular! I also much prefer the relief map for these articles. But the pushpin is hard to see. There must be a way to define pushpin shape and color. To be picky, I am sensitive to the fact that 10% of males are color-blind. Ideally, a pushpin would be a symbol in white with a black border, or vice-versa, depending on how dark the background is. I can't see why Béla Bartók would be an unusual choice for the film music. Argentina is a sophisticated place with a very European outlook, not just Spanish but Italian, German, etc. Even Welsh. They say that in the world of fashion, most innovations start in Buenos Aires, move to Europe a year later, and finally make it to North America a year or two after that. Lately {{user|Uncle G}} has put in some crazy DYK hooks, sort of like "... that [[Palo y hueso]] launched the careers of [[Nicolás Sarquís|Nicolás]], [[Esteban Courtalon|Esteban]] and [[Julio Lencina|Julio]]?" You have to click to figure out what on earth it is about, which I suppose is the idea. [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 00:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
:Maybe the pushpin could also be made a bit bigger? I spent some time in Uruguay some years ago and heard this joke: "How do you make an Argentinian? You take some Spanish sperm and mix it with some Italian sperm. And then you add just a little bit of shit. That is how you make an Argentinian." The relationship between Uruguay and Argentina is a bit like that between Canada and the United States. :~) [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 14:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

==Antarctic stubs==
Can I suggest a few changes to your standard format for the Antarctic articles you're creating?
*The {{tl|coor}} template has been replaced by {{tl|coord}} (and I suggest display=title,inline is appropriate).
*The {{tl|convert}} template is worth using for units.
*I think it's worth stating explicitly that the sites are in Antarctica (for those not familiar with the more detailed regions of Antarctica).
*DI (for [[Discovery Investigations]]) wasn't a familiar abbreviation to me, so I expanded and wikilinked it (likewise mention of the [[RSS Discovery]] as "Discovery") at [[Fantome Rock]].
*[[WP:SHIPS]] recommends italicising the names of ships.
*I turned your "mapped by" and "named by" details into full sentences.
See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aldridge_Peak&diff=prev&oldid=395961293] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fantome_Rock&diff=cur&oldid=395943548] for examples of the sort of changes I've made.

[[User:Dave.Dunford|Dave.Dunford]] ([[User talk:Dave.Dunford|talk]]) 17:11, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi. During the drive I won't be doing any formatting. The most important thing is that we get these articles started. Next stage then people can run AWB to make these sorts of minor edits, which are minor edits, which ever way you put it. Then the next stage in my view should be to merge all of the stubs related to one area into a single article if they can't be expanded. It would be different if I was actually writing the text myself but trust me it is much more efficient to do it this way and then run a bot/AWB to make these formatting changes later. ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 17:17, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
:Fair enough; I'll stop editing them. But if you're creating them by some sort of mechanised process (excuse my ignorance) then it might at least be worth using the newer coord template.

It would genuinely be unfeasible to spent the time amending each one as the vast majority require exactly the same reformatting, to replace Named for with It is named after or to add Antarctica on the end of the opening sentences. Nautrally I agree with your reocmmendations most of which are minor issues I am fully aware of;  that can be done much more efficiently later by an AWBer or a bot who could do the entire lot by ransacking a category within an hour I'd say.  To my knowledge you can program say [[:Category:Mountains of Antarctica]] and use AWB to add say , Antarctica at the end of every first sentence. If you are doing these sort of repetitive clean up edits it is almost a compulsory tool. Ask [[User:Rich Farmbrough]] about it  who is the most prolific user of it. As I see there are no ''serious'' issues which would prevent them from being created especially as at a later date they will be sorted and many most likely merged into articles on a given area and made more comprehensive with other sources.. As I say it would be different if I was actually writing the texts but they aren't mine, its PD material already written...18:01, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dr. Blofeld! Long time no see. Please see my talk in [[Golden Triangle (Southeast Asia)]] and help me check the information in this article. It’s likely that the map and the list of countries included in this triangle is wrong.

== Proposed Tibetan naming conventions ==

A few months ago, I posted a new proposal for [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Tibetan)|Tibetan naming conventions]], i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on [[Talk:Qamdo]] and [[Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture]]. I hope that discussions on the proposal's [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Tibetan)|talk page]] will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Tibetan)|naming conventions]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Tibetan)|giving your opinion]], I would definitely appreciate it.

Starting to think I am being stalked! :~) No problem whatsoever - collaboration is great. If I come across some, I will add them in. I seem to be on a roll doing Burmese artists. Extraordinary the lack of articles. Three when I started. And it is easy to find sources. The only thing annoying is that images of their pictures are not freely available.

:I try to suppress sarcasm, but often fail. Maybe I should stay clear of talk pages altogether. My interests are random subjects I know nothing about, although often I find an area with a lot of potential articles and explore it for a while. I like doing bios. There are so many untouched areas. I am often quite pessimistic about the value of the project, but enjoy doing the verbal jigsaw puzzles. I think I am maybe a bit less willing than you to make a quick entry and move on.

I suppose the concern is reuse for commercial purposes. But if the image is a 200px x 300px reproduction of a picture hanging in a national gallery somewhere it is hard to see how it could be exploited. One more artist, then I have to take a break for while - the real world is interfering. [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 13:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

You probably think that a self portrait is an excellent way to show what the artist looks like and their style in a single image. Very clever. Be warned that the image police have you on their watchlist, and are discussing the right moment to strike, when you are least expecting it.

Hi Doc, Well, 'no promise' is a fairly good deal! I am getting things assessed (especially in terms of importance) and classified to "topic=x" so that one (=me too) can easily see what exists or not and where it is best to develop. There are many general articles missing or way too undeveloped. The only active users (2) in Uruguay are mainly focused on sports. The Spanish side is somewhat better. But most of WP South America is not very active. I guess the way things are going, people in these areas have less time to spare. So any help you manage to scrape up will make a difference.

== Burma navboxes ==

Basically, I ran the web spider, and created a bulleted list with the hierarchy of places.  I wikilinked the titles, although many of these are obviously not going to go to the right place.  I split the first page into sections to match to the top level of divisions in Burma.  On the second page, I listed all the duplicates, which will be necessary to disambiguate.  If you still want navboxes, this should be possible, but I thought I would use this as a first step, and subsequent steps can be made without running the web spider again (i.e., simple post processing).

Ok, prima! (Btw, did you invent the term "stubbing" or does it precede you?) Yes, following the 59 barrios as shown on the template, some of them will have to be redirected. Itwill not always be easy to decide which to let in mainspace and which to redirect. The way it is, there are composite barrio names containing two or more formerly separate barrios. For example "Capurro and Bella Vista" is one barrio with a composite name, including two areas with different stories and outlook. Neither can claim alone to be one of the 59, so we will have to chose between messing with the leads or move to a composite name (which doesn't sound good} or something. Now that an evil organization has cast the dice, we will have to find a way. Back to history translation now.

I have been SWAMPED at work lately, so I haven't had a lot of time to spend here.... Those maps are very nice. If I see any articles needing maps, I'll let you know! :) I don't know how to use AWB on the commons, and I don't think I have AWB loaded on my new laptop yet. Hopefully those top-priority images are uploaded. I don't know if the bots can sort the images by priority, but once they get started they are very fast getting all the images loaded. I am definitely interested in helping to translate Montevideo, but I'm not sure if I will be able to contribute much for a while (say, until after Christmas). I have a case going to trial on 11/29, and the trial is scheduled to last three weeks. Lately I am working every day, including weekends, and I am staying till 11pm-ish most weekdays. Blagh.

Great going!! I changed the spelling of Villa Muñóz to Muñoz. For some reason this is the way it is written here [http://www.montevideo.gub.uy/ciudad/historia/barrios ]. Also I redirected Villa Dolores to Parque Batlle, as it is not a barrio by itself and we have now a subsection for it. Also I started [[Reus al Norte]], which you see on every postcard stand in the city. Back to history now.

Keep in mind that the Central Cemetary is something of a museum (not officially as such though), an area where some cultural events take place and generally a "state of the art" place. I was astonished when I visited (I rarely care much for cemetaries). [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 11:04, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

There is a mix of British and American English in the article. In Uruguay, generally most of English is taught by Cambridge standards, though there are also American private colleges. I thing it should be neib'''ou'''r, thea'''tre''' and so on. I'm about to do a full find and replace, but want to have your opinion first. What do you think? [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 13:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Right! Can't imagine it spelled SPECTER! Ok, done correcting. I even posted a note in WP to keep it British. [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 15:13, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

It used to be a sort of Switzerland, but in recent times they approached EU and they have to conform with several restrictions. So it's not valid any more. Maybe part of history of its economy, like "it used to be called" etc. I'm sure you will find valid search results for "Switzerland of America".

I can take a look, after I get some more content into [[Boita]] and [[Maritime history of Orissa]]. I actually spent a fair amount of time there, years ago, working on an IT project. It has seen better days, the climate is not the best, apart from the beef and [[Tannat]] the food is nothing special, and yet I really liked the place and would love an excuse to go back. [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 20:13, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

My Spanish is enough for the most important purposes, e.g. "Uno fileto de lomo, medio, por favor, e una copa de vino tinto - tiene Tannat?" I can get by, verbally. But Google translate is a big help. Orissa seafaring has potential to be a sizable article. Getting descriptions of the ships is a bit harder, so I am working on that first.

*The U list is shrinking. I took out [[Bagyi Aung Soe]] because [[User:Calliopejen1]] made some real improvements, then put it in for DYK, probably not spotting the mass nomination. To me, this is one of the more interesting of the series, and I prefer a separate entry. I printed out 5 PDFs on Orissa maritime history and took them to the pub. The result is I am not able to do anything more on it this evening apart from putting in the source links, but am convinced it is a major topic and will try to start seriously on it tomorrow. At least two maps are needed, one showing the locations of the ports, which changed due to silting, and another the trade routes.

From history of U., to relations with Italy, to demographics, to schools and theory of architecture (to think of it, the Faculty of Architecture is only a few blocks down Artigas Av. from the hospital)...

Hi Blofeld, I don't want to wade into whatever dispute you're having with Pal-whatever, but I generally agree that city articles don't need to include detailed descriptions of all landmarks. (This applies to Montevideo too.) Maybe these would be best put into a subarticle (e.g. [[Landmarks in Montevideo]] or something like that)? [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 18:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Jen, ''really'' this is not a good time to comment on this. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Uruguay/Montevideo]] is taking shape nicely and discusses parts of the city which ''are''  certainly notable like the Old Town, the three main parks and museums. It certainly does not discuss every building. IN fact I've condensed 50kb this afternoon of cutting down on what doesn't need detailed info. A summarised description of the MAJOR  landmarks in perfectly appropriate, and I happen to disagree with you. Landmarks are what constitute a city and in my view should be the biggest part of an article. The info on the Old Town and park, even cemeteries are essential to the history and understanding of the city. If you want to condense it further be my guest, it is still in the middle of writing..♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 19:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, landmarks are fine as long as we create some balanced proportion for ALL the things that need to be mentioned in a city/capital. At this stage it's really hard to see the whole picture, but we are moving fast enough to where this will become visible soon. We don't have to make it perfect yet, but before we transfer it from Project to Main space there has to be some proportioning done. Then if we go for a GA, we can have it reviewed and we can take it from there. Keep in mind that IF we had enough material on all main topics we could easily make it x5. But we only have SOME parts available. I care for the overall quality and I intend do some relative resizing where needed before or after we hit mainspace. Right now I am very greatful for all this wealth of info that's coming in. I am sure all sides will be pleased with the final result. 48 hours for an evil organization! That's preposterous!

Is it more beneficial to wikipedia that you stop playing policemen and allow me to expand this stub???? From what I gather the "establishment" are a bunch of emotionless robots who do not understand that editors have emotions when their work is attacked and that they do not appreciate people intruding in their affairs with pointy moral fingers eons after something has happened (or that they run wikipedia with self-made rules or do not have the slightest sense of humor).   Fine play sheriff. We are an [[encyclopedia]]!!!!! The sooner you people just cut the crap and get on with writing wikipedia the encyclopedia and hang up your sheriff badges the better. 

The odd thing about this is that I actually genuinely requested Sarek of Vulcan to write an article with me. Seriously. Shortly after I did so Sheriff hounded me with another unnecessary  "pointy finger" and I told him to hang up his badge after he asked why my comment was constructive. He asked me a question... So this is now a blockable offence from developing wikipedia as a resource. In all honesty I had no intention in going back to "harrass" him and only planned on visiting his talk page again once I had completed my orchestra inputs and inviting him to work with me not against me. 22:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

    {{unblock reviewed | 1=Seriously, actions like this may have more damaging effects on the encyclopedia than you might imagine. It started with hard work I had put into an article being deleted and somebody with no editing experience turining my work into a one liner and then insulting me. I log in this morning furious and react angrily. I later apologise for what I said and expressed why I had reacted to which there appears to be considerable understand at what happened at ANI. As if that wasn't enough (when I had moved on) I then get Sarek and later the sheriff turning up at my talk page getting preachy. What is the point? I then explain to Sarek why his point was unnecessary and that he only turns up at negative situations. Then sheriff adds further fuel to the fire and I light heartedly make some banter about him being a sheriff and being a policeman on here amidst seirously trying to expand an article Sarek had created which I genuinely wanted to collaborate on and show him that I'm not all that bad and that we could do something constrictive together. You deprived me not only of that but the chance to add a full length article I've been working on days to be finished and added to the Montevideo article. I told you that blocking me will never work, yet you somehow think this helps wikipedia... Between you and me this nonsense needs to stop and people need to stop pointing moral fingers and work together on articles instead. The ridiculous ting is that in the end I've been blocked for somebody removing hard worked content which I had contributed to your project. Please see things in persepctive. I see nothing on Sarek's talk page which is blockable and I had no intention of returning untill I had completed my inputs to the Rhode Island rchestra article. It was very strange to be about the save work I had added and see a view source and prevented form doing so. Seirously the sooner you guys stop playing cops and getting preachy over EVERY entire comment ever made, especially in a moment of obvious difficulty and just let people edit without hassle the better. The ironic thing also is that it is Sarek's hassling of me with his comment that has led to this. If you had gotten on writing articles like me none of this would have happened. How is this block going to help what matters? Because this sort of thing will happen again and again in the future unless people stop working against and start working ''with'' me. My content is far more valuable then anything I've ever said on here and the sooner you expect that I'm human and will occaiosnally react strongly to attacks on work I've spent time on the better. I will be logging out shortly, please somebody make some sense of this from a human persective.... Its funny how I contribute a massive amount to wikipedia which few of you could obviously care less about but the moment I say a single thing slighted heated you can't wait to bloack me and treat me like dirt. ♦ ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 22:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC) | decline=[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APal2002&action=historysubmit&diff=397472197&oldid=397449335 This] is not acceptable.

::: Blocking admin's comment (similar to the e-mail reply I gave to DrB when he e-mailed me).  The "threat" to punch somone deserved a warning.  Sarek gave it to you- ''just a warning''.  To then browbeat Sarek over that very valid warning, that then ventured into [[WP:NPA]] territory was inappropriate.  Since your first (and second) blocks for NPA were each 24hrs, this one has followed the principle of escalating blocks - and is up to 48.

Response:

Nobody said it did. But i had alreayd apologised for my initial outburst and actually invited this 2002 user to write the lhasa amicably with me. I had moved on to sweeter pastures when Sarek turned up 8 hours after it happened to rub my nose on it and point his moral finger. I responded to him and said surely he has something better to do and then to add further fuel to the fire his friend sheriff turned up also to tick me off. If you check the history of my talk page I was the one harrassed by them 3 times in total and sheriff even provoked me into answering his question on Sarek's talk page when again I had moved on and was writing an article. I gave him an honest reply that I think he should quit playing policeman and write articles and did it in a light hearted fashion which was intended to be humorous. I certainly did not say anything uncivil to them except that I said Sarek tdoes zilch to contribute to wikipedia but runs about on his high horse preaching at people. Again I had moved on writing an article when this block came about which was ridiculous givne that I had not only apologised to 2002 hours ago, even if I had every right to be angry with him. I had genuinely offered Sarek of Vulcan to constructively edit an article with me and was actually writing an article, not harassing people when I was blocked. I was led to Sarek's talk page provoked '''three''' times.  The block was completely unwarranted and poorly timed. I even pout up a wiki break banner this morning to acknolwedge that I needed to cool off. I cooled off lunch time but later Sarek caused unnecessary conflict when he should just mind his own business. There really has to come a time and a place when adminstrators actually investigate "uncivility" and to find that in cases like this they are entirely provoked by other people. That doesn't make it right to threaten to "knock somebody's teeth out but if they actually investigated what happened as at ANI I was justified in being angry. As for me swearing I rarely if ever use very strong profanity considerably milder than the words that often appear on the main page and which I objected to last Sunday. I tend to call people assholes a lot because that is the way they are acting. Look it up in wiktionary for a definition. If you part in hard work to wikipedia and you have it obliterated and then an editors rants on at you about DO NOT write it, somebody you used to consider a friend tells you NOT TO CREATE ARTICLES and DUMP them and somebody places a deletion warning on a vlaid article and you receive thes emessages all at once first thing in the morning when you  log in feeling rotten anyway and you try being sweet about it. No it is not acceptable to be uncivil but SERIOUSLY the blocking admins in cases like really do need to why a person flared upand that they have human feelings. If people stopped messing with me and worked with me to write articles absolutely nothing like this would ever occur. This should never happen again. Blocking me is the most pointless thing possible. Is it meant to teach me a lesson? Because nothing can stop me flaring up from time to time if I feel I've been badly treated. Its a natural humane reaction. 99% of the time I am more that civil to people and happen to be one of the most encouraging editors on wikipedia to content contributors and have a great dela of respect for them which I hope is reciprocated. Unfortunately we are surrounded by many negative people who do little to generate content and pretend to govern the site. I've invited Sarek of Vulcan to write n article with positively but is he interested, no, because he will only be negative about everything. We are better off without having these sort of people around. Look what he cuased here last night. Nothing but aggravation and blew it all out of proportion by making snide remars when the situation had alreayd been appeased. For heaven's sake I'm much better than all this. Stay out of my affairs and I'll remain civil, but people have to treat me with some respect otherwise the bad feelings will be returned. ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 10:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi again, looks like you're unblocked? I never want to be involved in the fallout from your outbursts! Things always seem to get sorted out without me.... :) Today I was trying to piece things together, but it wasn't worth my effort... Glad to see you're back, and hopefully a bit calmer. :) I'll hold off condensing Montevideo for now. It's looking much better! Whether the content eventually ends up in subarticles or in the main article, it's good to see it developed and added. Your DYK challenge looks fun. What I think would be a good project in the geography realm would be to work on getting countries of the world up to GA, or at least close to GA. Some of our country-wide articles are still in pretty sad shape, especially in Africa and elsewhere in the global south. I think these would probably be the most useful improvements for our readers. A few country articles needing improvement: [[Benin]], [[Angola]], [[East Timor]], [[Gabon]]. I'm planning to go to [[Ghana]] in January so I'd also be interested in improving that one to brush up before I go. Would you be interested in working on any of these?

== A message from an old friend ==

Dude I feel you're taking WP too seriously. It's not real life nor is it a source of livelihood or anything of this sort. You cannot reason with everyone who comes your way and fails to see the frighteningly and hugely essential work you are doing on here day after day. This makes you very upset and angry and as a result you end up attacking your own friends. I was quite surprised to see this message of yours concerning the Bobby Deol image. I was going to fight them all, and you know I was, but I could not understand where it came from. Now I see another chain of messages on another talk page which don't really help you and don't really enhance the quality of your work and don't really change others' views, but just make you angrier. I got the feeling that you are not the same Blofeld whose username was so constantly present on my talk page, with helping advices, suggestions, funny stuff, wishes and just friendly discussions about young exotic women. I don't want you to be bitter on here, and I don't think they're worth it. Forget everything and go back to work. Best regards.

==DYK==
A message for you and Nvvchar: DYK got much criticism lately for boring hooks, and it is/was quite serious, to the point of taking the project to pieces. It is often difficult to find something catchy after writing, thus I for myself either think about something interesting in advance, or just do not nominate the article. Please think about it - I admire your article work, but promoting your hooks is becoming a risky matter, and changing them I simply don't have enough energy for. [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 00:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
:The issue is practical - DYK brings fact checking and copyedit (mostly by WP insiders rather than outsiders), which is useful. Many articles got fixed/deleted/moved, etc only because they appeared on the MP. My only wish is for you and Nvvchar to either spend more effort on polishing the hook or not nominate. You are both much respected at DYK, and it is hard to reject your noms, but the current lack of reviewing workforce lowers the chances that someone finds a better hook. DYK is getting pushed to work on quality, and I'm redirecting this pressure on you :-). Good work on Montevideo and Burma. Best wishes.

== [[Mauricio Rosencof]] ==

Obviously needs expanding. When I was there, most people did not want to talk about that time much. It was still a somewhat socialist, bureaucratic society with high inflation. People would wait until the last possible day to pay their phone bills, then wait in line for a few hours to pay them. Cheaper that way. Yesterday's drama was unexpected, don't know what to say. I am not that serious, tend to see Wikipedia as a place to play verbal jigsaw puzzles: "pick a random subject, research it, organize the results, link it in". I am more cynical than you about the value of the project, less likely to get upset. Also, perhaps, colder and more brutal in swatting away nonconstructive critics. The best approach (and the hardest to follow) is to simply state policy then unwatch the talk page. Perhaps the type of pages I work on attract less POV though, apart from silly attempts to puff up bios. 

[[Maritime history of Orissa]] is moving slowly. I had no idea how rich the subject was. It needs a map of Kalinga at its greatest extent, a section on ships and navigation, with maps. Seems like square-rigged boats following the monsoon winds, but I need to get a better feel for that. It needs to cover Burma, Siam, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Malaya, Borneo, Sumatra, Bali... And it needs to avoid assertions on speculative topics, of which there are many. There are redlinks and related articles I am tempted to clean up first. Moving slowly. I think I will stick with it until I get something I am not totally uncomfortable with before looking at anything else. Then, for sure, Montevideo, if it is not all done by then. Statues are important. There are statues everywhere in Montevideo. Drive in from the airport, walk along the Rambla, and it is just statue after statue. Ghandi, Tito, Bolivar, Churchill, and every Uruguayan president, mayor, poet ... Statues. Also, filete de lomo, con Tannat. Best in the world.

Done, reduced the infobox image a bit because Scientist mentions it looks lousy on some resolutions (and I happen to be low resolution friendly). Also I think that we can discount the barrio maps from the main article and use the extra space for images instead. But we should link to "main article" for each park, area, etc and the map is right there.  What do you say? If you agree I will do the image/text layout where the maps are now. [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 17:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

No, I meant it about the maps you did on the parks, old city, etc, not the barrio-by-numbers one. But you just said you like it as it is, so I have no big problem as it is. [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 17:48, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hm, from the things you listed, I get now to Parque Rodo. It sure needs rewriting. You see, for some administrative reason, the park is not counted in the homonymous neighbourhood, but belongs to Punta Carretas along with the rest of the cape/point and the beach. But (there is always a but) to the people here, "Parque Rodo" is mostly the Park, unless you specify "barrio" too. I will get into it later this evening if  can. P.S. I replaced all neighbors to neighbours, meters to metres, etc. [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 20:44, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
:Sorry for butting in. The infobox map is an obvious duplicate to [[:File:Uruguay mapa.png]], which is much better as it lists countries - this is my reasoning for removal of that svg. My "screen resolution" note is not relevant to the infobox - it reflected the fact that an article with too many images is hard to arrange for every screen resolution (and it loads slower). Some images were too trivial (a shop - is it common? people walking on a street), but this is off course just personal opinion. On 1024x768 some left+right images were obviously squeezing a text to some 20 chars in between. Cheers.

::It is customary to have a pin map in infoboxes. The CIA maps are NOT superior to the svgs and are not very good quality. However for the sake of understanding geography it is fairly useful to see where the city is in Uruguay to accompany the text. It is not a photo of people walking down a street. It is a photo of a street in the old town area which has an old look to it clearly. And it is not a photo f any old shop. It is a photo of montevideo artist at work and his paintings, perfectly fine to accompany the art section. I really have no idea Material Scientist why you've shown unusual interest in this article..

Well, I don't know about what loading times you guys get, but it goes verry slow here, so the lighter we get it the better for all. Concerning resolutions (doc): I do some web design with HTML, CSS, and a few scripts, and one thing I do is check everything with every possible combination (Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome, Opera) plus several resolutions and I try some zoom in and out (and zoom-text-only like Firefox has). Well, you can't please everyone 100%, but you can avoid some lousy cases. The most important here is to be extra careful that right and left aligned images don't jam little stripes of text between them. So try some zooms and play with the width of your window to make sure it's ok. [[User:Hoverfish|Hoverfish]] <small>[[User talk:Hoverfish|Talk]]</small> 00:01, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

== [[Maritime history of Orissa]] ==

I am struggling with this. I will undo your change for now, but not in any way meaning to be critical. The article needs an outline of the history, but presumably shorter and more coherent than this version. The parent [[History of Orissa]] article has a huge blank space for the most interesting period, just a list of dynasties. Some content could be transferred to it and a lot more added to it - there are good sources. A great deal needs to be added to this one on Burma, Siam, Sumatra etc. I am not comfortable with the title. Orissa clearly had great influence in the countries to the east, which deserves an article, but the sources almost all talk about the influences, not the boats or voyages. Any ideas on a better title? [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 00:00, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree that the main history article needs a lot more, and will probably do that too. This one should be mainly about involvement with other countries, but should have a brief section on history of the state to give context - less than is there now, but something. It should also say a bit about the people themselves, maybe a paragraph. Then there should be corresponding articles on Tamil, Malay, Chinese, Arab etc. maritime history. And maybe a general article on sailing in early times in that region, covering winds, types of boat, methods of navigation. The whole area is full of gaps. For now, I will add material into this one, then some can be split out or moved. More interesting, to me, than [[List of bus routes in London|London bus routes]].

== colonias ==

I dont know about the colonias for the other boroughs/delegations. Cuauhtémoc was easy enough because it has the longest history and even then, a number of them arent much more than what the borough's web site had. Im working on expanding [[Coyoacán]] which has 140 some-odd colonias, barrios, unidades habitacionals (apartment complexes) and "pueblos" (which keep some of their old village structure). I did not see anything on that borough's website listing info for all of these divisions. I am finding a TON of info on the borugh and its historic center (the original village of Coyoacán), so Ill be able to list and give info on the best known of the colonias through there. Itll be even rougher with the more rural boroughs such as Tlalpan and Milpa Alta, much of which are still isolated villages despite officially part of Mexico City. See [[San Pedro Atocpan]] and [[San Andrés Mixquic]] to get a good idea.[[User:Thelmadatter|Thelmadatter]] ([[User talk:Thelmadatter|talk]]) 23:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

== Info box & Burma ==

Hello Dr. Blofeld,

Two things, 1) if you need help with any Burmese related articles, I'm happy to assist.  I've sent you an email about that.  The other thing is the info box on [[Vassieux-en-Vercors]].  Way too big.  I'm trying to add content about the village in World War II and also expand about the economy, the caves, tourism, etc.  But the French Commune info box is huge because of that map.  Can you help slim it down like the one on [[Ireland]] and others?  [[User:Malke 2010|Malke 2010]] ([[User talk:Malke 2010|talk]]) 20:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Dr. B, are you seeing a 'huge image' problem with any of the recent revs of [[Vassieux-en-Vercors]]? 270px is a bit large, but should not be a problem. The infobox has 280px hard-coded for the overall width. Cheers, [[User:Jack Merridew|Jack Merridew]] 03:46, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Nope, the map is normal size I think. Standard is 250px, 270px for the map and images is reasonable. By actual concern about the box is its length and the French land registry notes.♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 10:06, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

== Antarctic place articles ==
Hello! I'm currently reformatting several thousand of these articles to use the {{tl|coord}} template with the display=title option, instead of the current inline coordinates: see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mount_Mangin_%28Antarctica%29&diff=prev&oldid=398520625 for an example edit. This avoids using a deprecated template format, makes it easier for external bots to recognise that this is the canonical coordinate for the feature in the article (which in turn can help things like automatic infobox generation), and also, I think, looks nicer. 

Would it be possible for you to create your new articles in the same format? -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome|talk]]) 22:39, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

::OK, no problem. I'll catch them retroactively, once they've been created, as with the others, if that's OK with you. I've taken care to make numerous checks that the article is appropriately formatted before editing, so if articles contain (for example) more than one coordinate, or are otherwise unusually formatted, the bot will not edit them. -- [[User:The Anome|The Anome]] ([[User talk:The Anome|talk]]) 22:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

OK thanks. I should have the remaining started tomorrow.The only problem is that many of them really ought to be merged into other articles so when they merge it would actually be better to cite the coordinates inline..

I can't remember who brought it up now. The only thing is that it would is likely to be ages before they actually get merged as much as possible. uP to you but i'd say easily half of the articles could be merged into geo articles of a given area of Antarctica. like individual glaciers and mountains and rocks merged into an article on a mountain range etc. That is of course of the articles can't be expanded. I'd imagine that some of the mountains and glaciers could by expanded as seperate articles but I suspect that many on small groups of rocks etc you'd be best merging into an article on the bay etc.♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 22:59, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

An example of how they should be merged is at [[Undine Harbour]]. I do hope though that most of them can devleop as individual articles.. ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 23:09, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Great news man! Now as you mentioned above it is just a matter of the articles getting merged as appropriate but it can easily be done over a period of time.

I have a break from work this weekend and can rummage through some references before going on a two week no internet trip. The hardest ones to reference are of course those really small dams.

Please post the Lake article on DYK. Burton Lake and Ace lake are two subjects for another article on Antarctica. We can pick the latter as it has better references. I have searched in flickr and there are no imgs. American Samoa will be done a little later as I found Antarctica and Azerbaijan more exciting. Fogatogo has least references but Pogo Pogo may be better subject.

Not a field that I know very well, I'm ashamed to say - though I did study Coltrane as part of one of my classes in college.  I'm ashamed of myself - it ''is'' the ultimate American art form, after all, isn't it?  My non-classical music education has been woeful, to say the least.

:Funny you should mention that - there was an obituary in yesterday's paper for a former NSO cellist who didn't take up the instrument until he was 21.  Odd career choice, to say the least - though it seems to hit composers that way sometimes, I've noticed.  They don't take up music until their late teens, some of 'em.

:As for improvisation, I'm sorry to say that it seems like most classical musicians these days don't know much about it.  Though I remember hearing a young pianist play one of the Beethoven concertos once, and he improvised his own cadenzas in place during the performance.  Very impressive - alas, I don't remember his name, and I'm not sure if he's still active.

DYK process fixed blatant errors in many articles, including yours, and without reviewers it will simply collapse (it is in a strong decline right now). Frankly, I do not expect much refereeing from you and nvvchar, but the idea already works for others. Help from some other writers (who were hesitant to review until recently) is keeping the project these weeks. In other works, what doesn't work for you doesn't mean wrong. [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 13:11, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Well, "frankly" I am not charmed with your ongoing persistence and increasingly extravagant demands over the DYK process articles I really do not care if it hits the front page or not. It was ''your'' comments about our "boring" hooks which equally did not charm me.. You are in great danger of actually stopping people contributing to DYK. It is perhaps reasonable for people to review another article if they ''really'' want their article to hit the front page and go through DYK. But my time would be better spent expanding and starting articles at various lengths in the manner ''I'' desire and skipping this tiresome unrewardable process... Honestly you've been a terrific help with DYK but can't I count myself out without having you rant on at me? Personally I think a better idea would be to to appoint a panel of DYK reviewers who are happy to do it than to force every editor who writes an article to look at others.... I think you'd be surprised just how many decent articles now will never appear on the front page because their contributors are unwilling to have to meet your demands and review another article they may not wish to do or even have time for. I also think that many reviewers who are not really interested in reviewing but have to to meet the new "requirements" will not put much time and thought into the articles of others and may even approve of them without really bothering to research their hooks and in the end the articles will have to be doubly checked anyway. 

At the end of the day, wikipedia works best and most efficiently by volunteers who ''want'' to do the tasks and work they are doing. That is a core principal of the project. If there is a problem with the current number of reviewers I can think of better ways to address the problem than resorting to [[extortion]] which is really what this is. 

:(ec) You missed my point and might be not be in a right mood right now. We can talk about it later. Your comment sounded like "I won't do that, so don't do that". "You won't do that" is fine with me, the other half is not. Please understand that your noms are always welcome, but these weeks DYK desperately needs reviewers. It is not about what good articles don't make it to the main page, right now it is about not to put some crap/plagiarism/BLP violation/fact error/etc/etc on the main page so that the project would not be shut down. There are quite a few out there waiting for that, and we've already lost for good an admin over this, and that editor was working really hard for DYK and WP. Every time an admin is promoting a hook, xe is risking their head for that crap/plagiarism/BLP violation/fact error/etc/etc. One more thing, please keep in mind that there are a few who are ready to scorch if they find sentences only slightly paraphrased from the sources. Sorry for all this mud. Its Ok, we just need to smile more :-) 
:It is not easy to have any new proposal get accepted. A panel of reviewers won't work simply because only a handful managed to stay with the project for long - people keep changing all the time. Any extra pair of eyes can notice some blunder, which nearly every other DYK article has. [[User:Materialscientist|Materialscientist]] ([[User talk:Materialscientist|talk]]) 13:45, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Granted, the DYK process is very effective for detecting plagiarism and for reviewing work of others and to correct blatant errors. Really there ought to be a formal review system to assess new articles anyway.... But again it comes down to numbers. Look. The way I see it the number of reviewers is an obvious problem, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a proposal. But the fact is that some people really do not feel compelled to have to review an article of somebody else's just so they can make their own article a valid nom. Especially if they write a high number of articles and are a very regular contributor. For instance with the Burmese painter articles or Vietnamese provinces I'd have had to review over 10 articles of others just to push it through. ''That'' is just not worth it. Instead I would propose that a maximum number of articles can be nominated on any given day or some process which only extracts the best articles to reach the main page and the other excluded to make it more mangeable and people are given a notice every time they nominate an article saying "DYK needs your help! Please consider reviewing an article to help the project" rather than a '''you must do it''' kind of force.♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#000">Dr. Blofeld</span>]] 13:54, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:I did a few articles initially without posting on DYK. Once I got hooked on DYK, it has remained my passion. I would not do any other way.

It is in that spirit that I say "expand to make it 5x or 5 day limit is so and so or post it on DYK.

It doesn't always work. [[Moussa Diakité]] is sort of fragmentary, flooded out by a guitarist and a Mali ambassador of the same name.

==Guru Ghantal Monastery==
Hi again!
I have just discovered your article on the [[Guru Ghantal Monastery]] which is really just an alternative name for the [[Gandhola Monastery]] I created an article on somewhat earlier last year. If you can spare the time from your very busy editing - would you please have a look at them both as I think they should be merged and, either merge them or let me know what you think? Sorry to be such a nuisance - but there really so many names, not to mention alternative spellings of them, for Tibetan Buddist monasteries, it really is very confusing, and not at all surprising to discover the odd duplication of articles. I look forward to hearing from you whne you have a moment. All best wishes, [[User:John Hill|John Hill]] ([[User talk:John Hill|talk]])!

==Hi again!==
Yes, I've been back from India for a week and a half - but have been so busy and sick with a bad cough & cold that I hadn't got around to contacting you yet. Please excuse me but I still haven't finished unpacking - not even all the books (for which I paid dearly in overweight baggage charges). 

It was truly a great trip in spite of very painful back, etc., etc., I will try to write up a group letter account sometime soon to mail out to all and sundry - so please send me your home email again - I can't find it here. I took literally thousands of photos but have only managed to edit a few hundred so far. I have loaded a very few already - some on a new article called [[Trilokinath Temple at Tunde]] (but I have more to add here when I get the time). Also, I added a not very exciting one of [[Poo (town)]] - but I will be adding more and more as I get things together here gradually.

Good news - I lost some weight and my back is somewhat stronger and I can walk further than before I left on the trip so my local quack here says I can postpone my back operation for a while (with reviews every couple of months) so I am getting hopeful that I may actually get my next book to print in the new year. Hurray! 

Have had a lot of accumulated bad news, though, which I din't learn of until I returned as kind friends didn't want to apoil our trip. A couple of close friends (one of them my main Aboriginal mentor and guide) have died and a couple more are seriously ill at the moment and I don't dare visit them with my cough. Goodness a lot things can happen in three and half months! :( 

Anyway, I am glad we are in touch aghain and look forward to further chats soon. Will try to merge the articles as soon as I can (glad you agree). All my very best wishes, [[User:John Hill|John Hill]] ([[User talk:John Hill|talk]]) 11:57, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and here's a tip I just found. I downloaded a most simple Pixel Meter here: [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/Pixel-Meter.shtml]. This opens a measuring frame on top of all others and if you open it say 800px wide, you can reduce your browser's width to fit in and see how a 800x600 screen can get in, how images squeeze text in some parts, etc. I did add text where necessary (the text was needed there too) so that at 800px width, no two images squeeze any text between them.

:Lots of important things happened in each year of the 1920's. Does it make more sense to create the missing year articles, or to move any existing year articles to "1920's in jazz" with a section for each year, like there now is for the 1930's?King Oliver,  Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, New Orleans Rhythm Kings, Bix Beiderbecke all were doing notable and innovative things which have received considerable scholarly coverage since. Many important records were issued. Nice referenced entries for several events/records each year is easy, given time. [[User:Edison|Edison]] ([[User talk:Edison|talk]]) 02:59, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

:: Rosiestep has a valid observation on transferring articles done from my Sandboxes to main space as such a transfer does not reflect the contributions made by each contributor. Is there a way of out of this? Otherwise, we go expanding within the usual 5 day expansion limit on the main space itself. In such a case those who feel that they can not contribute substantially within the 5 day limit could decline to contribute for that particular article.--[[User:Nvvchar| <span style="border:1px solid navy;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:	#191970;">'''''N.V.V.

:::The "correct" procedure is not copy/paste, but ''move'' a sandbox. This preserves the editing history, with all contributions. The move is also reflected in the article history, but some DYK reviewers miss that and think the article is old. Thus when you DYK-nominate it, leave a note, like "moved from userspace on ..., 2010". This is for new articles. 
:::If the article was already present in the main WP space, and you were expanding it in sandbox, then you can ask an administrator to move the article and perform "history merging". Cheers.
