Quote

The quote on your user page ("When talking to a man, it's good to say the word "naked" every once in a while.") is a quote from the TV series Coupling (one of the funniest series around). Just thought you might want to know ;-) Adrianwn (talk) 08:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Abkhazia & South Ossetia

If you're interested in the matter, you may want to look at International reaction to the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence where the situation among the developing countries is largely similar to what I expect their reaction to the Abkhazia and South Ossetia situation. (Note even there I think there are still a fair few we don't have a statement for, either because none exists or no one ever bothered to find one.) Most have said they won't recognise Kosovo independence in the circumstances either because they think a unilateral declaration of independence sets a dangerous precedent or that it's not helpful and the parties should continue diplomacy. Some Islamic countries have recognised Kosovo (largely because of the mostly Muslim population IMHO) but even a number of them while supportive of the idea of an independent Kosovo have not recognised it. I think many developing countries consider both situations a mess they don't want to get involved in (so they aren't in a hurry to annouce anything) and would say what happened with South Ossetia and Abkhazia an example of whats happens when you set a precedent of recognising unilateral declarations of independence like happened with Kosovo. Many are probably also concerned for the implications for them if parts of them declare independence. Nil Einne (talk) 18:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, there does not appear to have been a valid reason. I have undeleted the page. JIP | Talk 15:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Finnish military ranks

Thank you for your point. I agree, in Finland, Finnish named ranks are used. Those articles should, therfore, be named by their Finnish rank with links from the Swedish named rank to those. I was born in Rovaniemi Finland and my mothers’ tongue is Finnish, yet it is easier to understand the Swedish version of the ranks for others. Do you have any ideas how to achieve a balance?

The reason I combine Swedish and Finnish ranks are for historical reasons as Swedish and Finnish military units and ranks have been near identical for hundreds of years as well as my desire to balance the view of the Swedish armed forces using the Finnish armed forces as a benchmark. Finland is chosen as a benchmark for a number of other reasons as well: The Finnish armed forces are based on solid battle experience; Finnish military units are trained on terrain that is similar to that of Sweden; and in the event of conflict Sweden is expected to meet the same class of enemy units as Finland.

Aside from the topic, my view is that Swedish military forces should learn from Finland as Finland has been very successful in their military operations ever since the 16th century up to WW2. I am an great admirer of Finland and its armed forces and regard them as one of the worlds best.

Please feel free to improve those articles as there are lots more to be done.

Best Regards, --Malin Randstrom (talk) 06:49, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Done: I have now changed as far as I could, according to your points, the ranks into Finnish. Pure Finnish ranks such as Alikersantti are all in Finnish with Swedish translations such as Undersergeant inside round brackets. However, ranks that are common to Sweden and Finland, such as Fältväbel, remain in Swedish with Finnish translations inside round brackets. The reason for this is that Vääpeli, in contrast to Alikersantti, is originally from the now obsolete Swedish rank Fältväbel and that Fältväbel was in use even in the Finnish speaking inland regiment Savolax until the end of Swedish governance over Finland.

National Alliance for Hispanic Health deletion

Hello JIP, I'm curious about an article that you had a hand in deleting in May, called National Alliance for Hispanic Health. According to the warnings, it sounds like the article was written using advertising language, and that it was created/deleted again later. I heard about the issue from someone I know who works with them, who asked if I could look into it. I've done some basic research and it stands to reason that the group should pass WP:NOTE, and that a neutral, reliably sourced article would stand. I'd like to give a try at writing it. Looking at the deletion review policy, it seems I might be able to recreate it without issue, but because it was created and deleted more than once, I'd like to be sure it's not blocked or otherwise flagged. Let me know when you get a chance. (Also, I'm going to pose this same question to the editor who deleted the page in in August). Thanks. WWB (talk) 16:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MySurfPad.com deletion

Hello,

I would like to get more clarity on why you had deleted the article on MySurfPad. The article I had written had not marketing spin to it whatsoever, it was strictly informational. Please advise, thanks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waleedb (talk • contribs) 14:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Civil War (album)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Civil War (album), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:59, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, probably because you deleted the prodded Civil War (Dillinger Four album) on 01:15, September 9, 2008. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I "suffer" from the same condition. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, I deliberately included you because you were involved in deletion/restoration. You don't HAVE to get involved, you know ... ;-) - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pakpassion Deletion

Dear Sir,

Could you please let us know why our page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakpassion was deleted.

I see the discussion speaks of "Notability". Could you please suggest what type of evidence you seek for this?

Pakpassion is among the leading provider of Pakistani cricket news and Pakpassion articles and interviews are quoted by many major news agencies who have a page on wikipedia.

Thanks

Let the reader decide essay

Thanks for the heads up. I made an essay and Binksternet rewrote it in a more formal encyclopedic tone. Normally this would be appreciated, but an essay is not an article and so in my opinion it was essentially akin to vandalism. I will correct the spelling errors, I assumed Mein Kamph was proper spelling because the page linked nonetheless, apparently due to a redirection page. As for maniac, I am a native speaker of english and an American, in this country maniac is a noun, meniacal is an adjective. --Ipatrol (talk) 19:04, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OH, a spelling error, my bad (fault).--Ipatrol (talk) 20:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Topless DJ Caption and reference

Could you tell me the original caption and citations of the topless female DJ picture for use in the discussion and possible use in the article? --Ipatrol (talk) 19:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the text I originally wrote was:

In the late 2000s, topless female DJs have appeared in special club nights in Russia. The idea has later been copied to Finland.[9]

This was later edited to:

Topless Russian DJ spinning at a club in Finland. Club DJs and club owners occasionally try new ideas to attract customers.[11][12]

References:

I added the first reference, the second was added later. JIP | Talk 19:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus deadline

The deadline for the topless DJ decision has arrived. If you do not say anything by 16:00 UTC, a sentence with the refrences will be inserted and the talk page discussion will be archived. --Ipatrol (talk) 14:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Mythopoetic Leadership

   * 07:12, 24 August 2008 JIP (Talk | contribs) deleted "Mythopoetic Leadership" ‎ (WP:PROD, reason was 'local course'.)

What do you mean by "local course"? Tel2048 (talk) 02:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was not I who originally wrote the reason "local course", it was User:Skysmith, who proposed the deletion. I carried out the proposed deletion. I think it means he thinks it's a course offered by a single university or college. JIP | Talk 04:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does it matter that this is untrue? Tel2048 (talk) 22:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If it is untrue then I can undelete it and place it under normal deletion discussion as a routine process. JIP | Talk 05:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is untrue. But if you undelete it and put it up for normal deletion discussion, your action will probably be argued against by the same ignorance that that started this discussion in the first place. And I don't argue with ignorance. Tel2048 (talk) 15:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed my mind. Please undelete this article. I feel like ripping the head off of an idiot. Thank you. Tel2048 (talk) 03:44, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have already undeleted the article and placed it under WP:AFD as routine procedure. The AFD reached consensus to delete. Therefore it can't simply be undeleted, it has to go through WP:DRV first. JIP | Talk 05:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Titles of WWTBAM worldwide

Hello JIP, I've just seen your comment on Kubek15's disc page. How do you suggest to call the Chinese article of the show? Bǎi Wàn Zhì Duō Xīng? --Kazu89 ノート 16:14, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the most commonly used romanisation, then yes. There can be a redirect from Bai Wan Zhi Duo Xing for the benefit of those who can't type the accented characters. JIP | Talk 16:25, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Danke für die Antwort. Alles erledigt! ;-) --Kazu89 ノート 18:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
