Unbelievable (see above). Sometimes you people drive me crazy, self-appointed arbiters without the common courtesy of discussing your concerns on a talk page first. You are a "rules enforcer" exhibiting the kind of ego and intelligence associated with the lowest class of policeman, when you do this. I've already addressed this with you.
If you had discussed it first, I would have enlightened your obvious ingnorance on the subject of celebrity actors, which Brune certainly was. You even deleted the link to [1] which is a scholarly writing on an Australian research site which helps to explain why this old actress nearly a hundred years old ends her life in a nunnery. So you don't care, in your NOT HUMBLE opinion that others may wish to read and wonder about this. At worst, you have the choice of placing a {{}} at the top, leading to a discussion. Well, since you chose not to do this, I think you are wrong and I am going to restore the links, and I suggest you change your ways, and IN MANY CASES take steps to talk it out with contributors rather than be confrontational. The Wiki administrator folks seem to feel this way too, check it out, I am not alone. JohnClarknew 20:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
I was wrecking my brain for a redirect target before I deleted this. Great going on finding a suitable target. I know it's not green, but please accept this flower. - Mgm|(talk)13:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Plasti-Blades
Thanks for the support on that article. I'd written it some time ago thanks to info that I'd received from the owner of the company. Since it was a direct transfer from the R/C wiki, the tone was directed more toward the end user (sorta like an ad, but unintentionally). I've "neutralized" it somewhat. :) - Lucky 6.917:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Could you let me finish aricle
Before correcting and such. I'd appreciate it. I'm putting it up as you comment and it's causing me to lose my work. Thanks. ..Ki Longfellow17:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Egregious? You mean awful or lying? I imagine you mean unsourced or tone...I'm awfully used to that and have been trying to get drier. Awfully hard to do. But to nominate it for something causes me to wonder: are you a fan of Gallant Man? ..Ki Longfellow17:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I've read a posting from you regaring the Putra Mosque but I don't understand and not sure what you are trying to explain. I'm from a Malaysia and I'm totally curious about this.
Are you stating that the website [2] has stolen this picture and reproduced ?? That's a very serious accusition and they can really get into trouble.
Did you know? was updated. On November 26, 2006, a fact from the article Gallant Man, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
Just noticed - thanks for nominating sōshi-kaimei for DYK. Though, since it's not really clear whether it qualifies or not (since it's just a jawiki translation with a bit of expansion), I guess we could combine that with my later self-nom on Sakhalin Koreans, which is actually new content (except for 2 unsourced paragraphs split from Koryo-saram, which have since had sources added to them):
This wording also has the advantage that it avoids the never-ending controversy over how much compulsion was involved in the process of registering Japanese names (which always puts Japanese and Koreans at loggerheads). Tell me what you think. cab06:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Nom
No problem, you're doing a great job in DYK without having to dream up noms for everybody too. (I couldn't drag anything out of the other article though: "...that it's a church...er...") Yomanganitalk10:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Samoilov crop DYK.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Stupid bot. It's a temporary 100x100 crop I uploaded to improve the look of an image appearing in DYK. Its description page redirects to the full image, so there's little need to add a licence notice. GeeJo(t)⁄(c) • 19:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Actually, the source I used didn't exactly say that he was the first to perform in a sound film: it just said he was the first actor-singer. Unfortunately, the source doesn't specify if it refers to the theatre or the cinema (could be any: personally I don't know any previous examples of flamenco actor-singer). As to the lack of sources in English (which is a real headache when writing about flamenco). There is another fact which could be interesting: he created a new flamenco style, the "colombiana". This is right in the intro, all sources mention it and, luckily, there is a source in English for that, so I've added a note and listed it in the sources (it was in the External Link) GemmaMS19:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with J. G. McCaskey. I copied other presentations and adjusted to get a start as I do not have the technical know how to accomplish the refinement that you provided.

Well, firstly, I think we should spend more time reading BBC more often, as ITN seems to be dead and one less ITN entry seems to cost us on average perhaps 1.5 updates per template. Most of the time, there are only unremarkable cricket noms there, and I am saying that as a person who writes cricket articles. Aside from that, I think we should encourage all writers and updaters to test their mind at User:Tony1/How_to_satisfy_Criterion_1a:_redundancy_exercises - I did them the other day when trying to get Ian Thorpe to FA after Tony objected. Tony tells us that 10% of FAC content is redundant, so I'd figure it would be more for DYK articles. I think you should write the noms so that we have more choice. That would help raise standards across the board, so we get better articles. Unfortunately, we are very soft with the "interesting" criteria, as we don't police the articles well enough for "hooks". User:Lar is not doing updates anymore, but perhaps I can ask him to do some reviewing as it takes less time. He was good at hook-policing. The other problem is that most of us updaters seem to be away on weekends. We need to fix that. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm a relatively inexperienced Wikipedian, and misunderstood the term "stub" to indicate any article that was not substantially complete or adequately documented. My bad.
I'm watching the changes more experienced editors make to my articles, and I like to think I'm a fairly quick study, so I should get the hang of this. Thanks for providing the example (and cleaning up my little mess). -- J-MJgilhousen09:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for including it! I know Bin had some concerns about the length of the body text, so I'm glad it made the cut. Dppowell21:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I usually like to put barnstars on user pages but yours looked so nice, I figured you did not want them there (That, and that I did not see any there). Again, keep up the great work. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider)23:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Although you may already know this, some people are using DYK as a guide as to which articles to mess with. Two DYK articles were changed to create significant ambiguity while the articles appeared on DYK. (Name change and vital information removed). Perhaps you can have an administrator assigned to watch over DYK articles while they appear on DYK.-- Jreferee16:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the picture, but unfortunately it only has the very bottom of Middle Dodd on it. Had a look on geograph and noticed that the 3910 square has a much nicer shot of Middle Dodd, but wouldn't have a clue how to upload it to commons and all that. Hope you don't think I'm being awkward, but is there any chance you could swap it?
As you can see we're slowly plugging through the Wainwrights and alot of them are short of piccies, so please don't let my pedantry put you off.Bobble Hat22:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jan Eliasson.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Oden14:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
I know i already gave ya a barn star but, after trying my had at creating a few next updates for the DYK, I have a new appreciation for people who work on it! You do an amazing job! Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider)20:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
