Thax is awesome.

[edit]

Thank you for all your work --Wulf 00:43, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Wow, thank you Wulf, you are truly a great person. I am humbled. --Thax 18:26, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
lol, your welcome, and thanks :) --Wulf

New sig

[edit]

Hmm, i guess my signature was rather long (and the "boxes" were Chinese unicode characters) so changed it to something shorter... and only english =) Cheers! Sasquatcht|c 04:14, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, on my computer it just showed up as a black box, with two gray question marks inside... Gratz on the new sig, it looks cool :) --Wulf 04:39, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Merge into Bit rate?

[edit]

Should this be merged into Bit rate? (Drop a note on my talk page if you reply, I will probably forget to check back here... Thanks) --Wulf 04:37, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

We had a similar discussion about kilobit, megabyte, kibibyte, and so on, and decided to keep the articles separate but put a navigational template on them. See Talk:Binary_prefix#Consolidate_all_the_little_articles and other sections after that one. I made a similar navigation template for the bit rates, and I am happy with the way it is. — Omegatron 13:42, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, hi Omegatron :) Thanks --Wulf 18:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Zones

[edit]

Added to WP:TOL talk - Generally no, as they are not very meaningful; a zone 8 oceanic climate such as Shetland is very different to a zone 8 continental climate such as northern Florida, and the plants that will grow in them are completely different. All that the two share is the same winter minimum temperature, nothing else - MPF 00:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see what you mean, thanks :) --Wulf 03:46, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any reason to think that there will be more episodes of Foyle's War? I'd like to think so, but at the moment the last episodes were produced in 2004. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

They have filmed Foyle's War: Series IV and it is due out November 2005 on ITV according to visithastings.com > Attractions > Foyle's War.
I have no idea about PBS, but I'm sure they'll have it. --Wulf 18:49, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not 100% sure what PBS is (though I've got a reasonable idea), but it's good to know about the new series; thanks. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Public Broadcasting Service
You're welcome. lol, I was thinking you were in the US... I'll try to explain it in fewer than a thousand words :P... PBS is an American nationwide non-profit, commercial-free, public broadcast TV network. It has mostly "intellectual" type shows, such as NOVA, Nature, Masterpiece Theatre, Mystery!, Frontline, Scientific American Frontiers, and the like. They also operate NPR radio. They sometimes co-produce programs with the BBC, which eventually show on both PBS, and BBC 4. --Wulf 16:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
How is it funded? Ah, no, it's OK — I've just followed the link to the Wikipedia article. Thanks. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:07, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No problem :) --Wulf 02:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Possessives

[edit]

The MOS (helpfully) says: "Possessives of singular nouns ending in s may be formed with or without an additional s. Either form is generally acceptable within Wikipedia. However, if either form is much more common for a particular word or phrase, follow that form, such as with "Achilles' heel"." Rmhermen 21:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a reply to your question at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. —Wayward Talk 21:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You expressed concern that Mayumba National Park seemed like an advertisement. (of course, the park is a government-run national park like Yellowstone or Banff national parks.) I made some revisions to the article, and I hope that it's okay now. Please make any further revisions that you think are appropriate. TruthbringerToronto 04:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: How do I "kill" mojibake?

[edit]
I would try going to that mojibake page using Internet Explorer. I beleive that Internet Explorer will inform you of the problem and ask if your would like to download the proper language set for it. I beleive that once it's installed it should work in Firefox as well as the rest of your applications. I'm not too sure though as I don't run Windows very often. Good luck.

The TomStar81 Spelling Award
Be it known to all members of Wikipedia that WulfTheSaxon has corrected my god-awful spelling on the page StarCraft II, and in doing so has made an important and very significant contribution to the Wikipedia community, thereby earning this TomStar81 Spelling Award and my deepest thanks. Keep up the good work! TomStar81 (Talk) 06:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you blank part of an article?

[edit]

Can you please explain this? Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 00:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Err… Somebody saw that? It was only gone for a few seconds. >.>
I was showing a friend how easy it is to vandalize a Wikipedia article, and why semi-protection is a good idea for high-profile articles. It wouldn’t have been believable if I’d used the sandbox. –Wulf (talk) 01:02, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of how quickly it was reverted, its now part of the article's pernament history. Please refrain from anything similar, there's enough real vandalism on Wikipedia that you could probably find an example for someone else fairly easily simply by browsing through a mid to high profile article's history. -- Sabre (talk) 14:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rent to own (or loan to rent)

[edit]

Thank you for advising of the issues with Rent to own. I didn't really have an interest in that article, I just found it was full of COI. Alan.ca (talk) 02:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. —Wulf (talk) 07:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RTO Balance questions

[edit]

I hope this is the right place for discussion. I'm going to violate my own rule about engaging bloggers and ask a few questions and making some comments.

Why is it a conflict of interest to bring some balance to the RTO page? Why is the opinion of consumer advocates any more noteworthy than trade publications? As it exists today, this page could have been written as a press release from Ralph Nader. Is that "balanced?"

An example is the reference to the DODs stance on RTO. You fail to mention that RTO was added to the DOD list only at the request of outside interest groups. The article also fails to mention that DOD revised their view of the industry after doing research. The information can be found on RTOonline, but apparently pro-industry (any industry) material is off-limits in the Wiki universe.

PS: I haven't place a link on the page since I was advised not to do so by you many months ago. The link that is there now is being added by someone else.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply. Griffaw (sorry, not sure how to insert my user info) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Griffaw (talkcontribs) 23:23, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your advice on that page, I hadn't noticed the conflicting infos. And I'm the original author of that work. I've just edited the previous text in the summary. Hope it's ok now. Sampayu msg 07:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, and the summary seems fine now. Thanks for uploading the image in the first place. --Wulf (talk) 07:52, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:Kayak.com homepage.png)

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Kayak.com homepage.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 23:14, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please update your status with WP:VG

[edit]

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Template:User xhtml-0 has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. —Justin (koavf)TCM02:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

MfD nomination of Template:User xhtml-0

[edit]

Template:User xhtml-0, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Template:User xhtml-0 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Template:User xhtml-0 during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. RL0919 (talk) 00:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wulf, The POV tag you placed on the Eckhart Tolle article has been removed by an editor who is active there. I think if you described your POV concerns on the talk page, you could then replace the tag and a talk page discussion would commence. It would also be great if you had the time to join the discussion as often there are only two editors active there and its difficult to get consensus. I have had ongoing POV concerns about the article and would like to hear your perspective as an uninvolved editor. Thanks!--KeithbobTalk 16:30, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Zome logo.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Zome logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:24, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
