So after this excellent family car connection, what do you drive? Cokehabit 00:39, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I dont drive either, i'm epileptic so I get everyone to drive me around. It does of course mean that I can drink whenever I go out ;) Cokehabit 17:00, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I'm just browsing through the Wikipedians in England category and notice you are not in a 'county category', probably because the category hasn't been created for it yet. Would you like [[Category:Wikipedians in Hertfordshire]] created? Alf ^melmac 19:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, A lot of people use Wikipedians in UK category, that cat is going out of style though as far as I remember from the notice on its page. Proportion, not a clue, honestly. The more aware UK users become, the more likely they have themselves in a county cat. I suggest it to people who write on local articles that I watch, I know at least two others who do the same. Snowball effect I hope. Alf ^melmac 10:09, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done and added to your user page. Soon have some 'neighbours' I'm sure. Alf ^melmac 10:14, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Thanks for your poetic contributions.

I thought I would just mention that I'm not quite so keen on linking dates. Dates of birth/death are good, since it can be useful to look at what links to 1960 to get anniversaries etc. Otherwise, linking a date means something quite widely significant about tying the event to the year ...

User page vandalism

No problem on revert the vandalism. I have you watched now, but actually I found it using CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter. I highly recommend it if you plan to get into RC Patrol. I hope you are enjoying the site. See you around. Psy guy ^(talk) 23:06, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again

I don't mind about the Palgrave names; but, to explain, I have a policy of creating redirects like J. Milton as I go. In the longer term it adds to the site to have redirects, and these sometimes pick up red links on other pages that otherwise would still be there.

Wikiquette

Btw. This is worth reading: Wikipedia:Avoiding_common_mistakes:

Deleting your User Talk page or removing text from your User Talk page. Your User Talk page is the best way others have of communicating with you. It's OK to clean up or archive old content, but please be careful before removing content from your User Talk page; it may look as though you're trying to hide criticism.

This unsigned comment is from User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters; he complains that I removed some vandalism he did to this page. - Poetlister 22:01, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Jewish jurists -- Request for mediation

I've added List of Jewish jurists to the list of requests for mediation. Please take a look and make any comments that you wish. Thanks. --Nlu 16:39, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have left a note on Rachel's talk page about this and suggested mediation be cancelled. Arniep 23:25, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel has decided to go ahead with the mediation as Lulu has continued to make unfounded accusations on his talkpage. I'd appreciate if you could take a look at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Category:LGBT_criminals, personally I think this category just shouldn't exist as gay people have lived in diverse eras and countries with different laws so it is pretty meaningless, and also Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Category:Wealthy_fictional_characters which is pretty stupid as we can never list all wealthy characters in all books, films etc. and as Rachel pointed out, wealth is relative. Arniep 13:56, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, my edit summary regarding "obstructionist" and "WP:POINT" was directed at Lulu, not you. Jayjg ^(talk) 18:36, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Another User:StabRule (what a nice name) has decided to nominate a huge amount of Jewish American lists, any votes of comments would be appreciated Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2005_November_26#List_of_Jewish_American_scientists. Arniep 22:54, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Mediation

Please direct all inquiries to our chair, Redwolf24. Judging from the edit summary, I believe that Redwolf24 was under the impression that the case had been resolved already. I forwarded your email to him and I see you've left him a note as well; he should respond to you soon. Thanks for your understanding. Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that Redwolf24 has replied to you by now? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll remind him to respond to you. He's pretty busy and said he would get back to you soon. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please direct your attention to Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation#List_of_Jewish_jurists and make a response there. Thanks very much! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:32, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Jewish Fellows of the Royal Society

Dear Poetlister don't worry it will be solved. I asked a very good admin whom I trust. It will be solved. I would like to thank you for letting me know. By the way if you're the one from picture I find you cute. Bonaparte talk 14:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am you know :). By the way how come that you like so much poetry? Bonaparte talk 20:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Reverted to last (anon) version to remove change by Antidote - why don't Jewish members of acadamies of science count as Jewish?

They do. The list is just extraneous as all it contains is other lists. Antidote 20:17, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:RachelBrown/List of Jewish juriststemp

Thanks for the message, but I'm removing the category again. I don't want to and don't have time to find out the background to this, but while the page is in userspace it should not be in an articlespace category. If/when the page is moved back to the main namespace, then by all means put it back in the category, but until then please don't. I'm sure this is policy, but I've not found a reference to it yet. I'll post again here when I do. Thryduulf 17:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've found the reference now: See Wikipedia:Categorization#User namespace - "If you copy an article to your user namespace (for example, as a temporary draft or in response to an edit war) you should decategorize it." Thryduulf 17:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You should first ask the person who moved it why they did it. It looks like it was SlimVirgin. If that doens't get you any reasonable explanation then ask at Wikipedia:Requested moves. To move a page just click the 'move' tab at the top of the page (see m:Help:Moving a page for help), I would do it but I don't want to step into the middle of something I have no knowledge of. I'm going to be offline in a few minutes and all day tomorrow (UK time) so I haven't got the time to investigate further unfortunately. You should also ask about why it was moved on the article's talk page (it stays on people's watchlists when a page is moved so people should notice). Thryduulf 23:10, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See the discussion on WP:VPA about this. Thryduulf 23:27, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Poetlister, I was just implementing the simple rule that Thryduulf also referred to: there is a strict separation between the User namespace and the main (encyclopedia) namespace. The category "Lists of Jews" belongs to the main namespace, so there should not be user subpages in it. As long as the page is in its current location, it should not have the category on it. I'm not involved in the page move, and I'm not prepared to say anything about the desirability of this article in the encyclopedia. As for why the page was moved to user space: I see that SlimVirgin has answered that question at WP:VPA#User:RachelBrown/List of Jewish juriststemp. Eugene van der Pijll 11:58, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand the issue: User space articles should not be categorized into namespace categories.

Please note that you have now reverted this page 4 times in 27 hours. That is very close to the WP:3RR limit, and you may be blocked the next time you insert the category. Not by me, 'cause I'll be away from wikipedia for a day, but another admin might. Eugene van der Pijll 13:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Poetlister, you have no right to edit the subspace of a user who has left. Furthermore, this draft was a POV fork of List of Jewish jurists. If you want to argue for changes to that page, you should go to the talk page. What do you see as the problem with List of Jewish jurists that this draft page would solve? SlimVirgin ^(talk) 14:41, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

Poetlister, you have violated 3RR at User:RachelBrown/List of Jewish juriststemp. I'm leaving this warning because I don't know whether you've been warned about it before. If you violate it again, you may be reported and blocked from editing. Please review Wikipedia:Three revert rule. Many thanks, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 14:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Stop leaving personal attacks on my talk page. I had almost no interaction with RachelBrown. As for your reverts, it makes no difference which version you revert to. Undoing another editor's work more than three times in 24 hours is a violation of 3RR, even if you revert to a different version each time. Read the policy. You should either say what your problem is with List of Jewish jurists on its talk page and reach a compromise with the other editors on the page, or leave well alone. What you may not do is create POV forks, edit other people's user subspace, or edit war to have draft articles retained in categories. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 15:02, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
