Just a response about Counselor - I found that more articles linked to Counselor rather than Counsellor so I thought it better to use that spelling. And I plan to expand that counselor page (provided no one else beats me to it!) that was just a start.

Rather than "permission", something like "after discussion with" might have made more sense. You don't need my permission to edit any page, though certainly it was nice and good that you discussed it with me first.

User:Ryan524's nomination at WP:RFA
Hi, Dissident. Although I know it's been done recently with User:Wik, it's almost never a good idea to remove a nomination (self- or otherwise) before the usual week has passed. Leaving it for a week gives the community time to see it, think about it, and comment on it. If, for example, Ryan renominates himself or someone else nominates him, most people wouldn't even know about this one after such a short time.
I realize that you were just trying to save some embarassment and/or contention, and please don't take my reversion of the page personally.
Thanks, BCorr|Брайен 02:01, Apr 15, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for catching the removal of the message on Wik's page. I don't know what's going on. Also during the time I was offline, Cantus seemed to be rewriting Talk:Augusto Pinochet . 172 00:29, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Hi Dissident, Thanks for the admin nomination. Cheers, --Zero 00:03, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
BBS Now has intro
Britain's Best Sitcom now has an intro. Would you like to remove it from Pages needing attention? Don't thank me, it wasn't my doing ;o) --bodnotbod 19:34, May 1, 2004 (UTC)
Mary Ann thanks you
Thanks from Mary Ann Horton for the attention to my personal history. Alas, you keep getting it wrong. Would you please contact me for the real story?

InterLingua
Hello,
I reply you here because I think you'll read it faster here.
Yes, a week has passed after your request on ia. And you got my vote for you. Anyway, this is the only vote. It's a pitty no other people have voted there.
Can you write please Ensjo to take a look on the vote? If he agrees, i'll give you sysophood on ia:, it just would be a bit strange to sysop you after being the only one who agrees with your sysopping. If you don't agree, feel free to tell it to me! :-)
Cheers, --Fire 01:26, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
RE: Elie Wiesel
Hi, thank you for your reply. I still need to really understand what it is that you are driving at. Look, people who are pro-Palestinian are never going to be "happy" with any sort of strong Jewish response to their behavior, so I don't see the point of picking on Eli Wiesel. He made a point of protesting any cover-ups of the Sabra and Shatila affair. Noam Chomsky is a rabid anti-Zionist who would like to see Israel disappear so it again makes no sense to quote his views, as he is just out to destroy the public image of people who don't agree with him.

Hazel McCallion
Re Hazel Mcallion, Dissident, yes I could have just Redirected it. What the heck, I thought, let's put it into the Duplicate articles list and do it the long but correct way round. (;-)But you are quite right. It would have saved me some work. Thanks for deleting it. Dieter Simon 01:39, 22 May 2004 (UTC)
Pool pic
I'm not much of a photographer, nor digital editor, but I'll see if I can get something better. This seems to be the best I can do with the existing image using PrintShop Pro: [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PoolTablewithEquipment-non-lighter.jpg). Niteowlneils 23:31, 24 May 2004 (UTC)

You don't say what you think is wrong with my definition of free ball. I suggest you edit the article to what you think is correct, and we'll take it from there. --Auximines 21:25, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
Revanchism article
On November 25, 1941, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem declared jihad on the Allied Powers (Great Britain at first; a similar declaration against the United States was added after Pearl Harbor). The mufti then spent most of the remaining World War II years in the Balkans, recruiting Albanians and Bosnian Muslims into Hitler's Waffen SS units. Since the mufti was regarded as the spiritual leader of at least the "Palestinian" Arabs, if not all Arabs, his declaration at least conceptually put the Arab world on the side of the Axis in World War II - and depending upon one's POV, this declaration was either the reason or the excuse for placing the post-war Jewish state in the Middle East instead of giving the Jews either a slice of the Rhineland or Bavaria, as many, including Henry Morgenthau and Harry Truman, wanted to do. -- TOttenville8 (talk}
- That is not correct. The Mufti's declaration had almost nothing to do with it and was pretty much ignored. We should resist the attempt to turn Revanchism into yet another ME war zone. Incidentally, Zionism presented itself as a movement to recover land that was lost millenia before and thus fits the definition of "revanchism" perfectly. So does the Palestinian movement to recover land taken by Israel. So do dozens of modern territorial disputes. --Zero 00:36, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Mass destruction at IA.wikipedia
Hi Dissident, I discovered an old mass destruction at IA.wikipedia:
[2] (http://ia.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&hideminor=0&namespace=&target=24.70.95.206&limit=500&offset=0)
There might be a way to fix it automated, it's quite to much to do it manual. One other question: how can I request a page-deletion at IA.wikipedia? "TTA" and "Tta" are commercials and completely in English. Jcbos 01:48, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- OK, thank you, I will try to improve my Interlingua, because at this moment I can only read it. Jcbos 06:54, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Sysop
Andre Engels made me temporary sysop of IA.wikipedia to undo the vandalism. After that I would like to start a huge maintenance, like delete non-articles, place interwikis and categorise articles. I subscribed here (http://ia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administratores) to get a normal sysop, if you like you can post there a vote. Jcbos 22:08, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
W. Mark Felt
Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the Deep Throat talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt. PedanticallySpeaking 15:42, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
