Dear Dave, I have seen you created the toy manufacturer site "Dorfan". I want to write a site "Jos. Kraus & Co." -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jos._Kraus_%26_Co. - in english language. Because at the moment only exists in german. These 2 companies depend on each other. Would be fine, if you would take a look at the new created site. Thank you very much.

Dear Dave - thank you for the article on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danielle_Bunten_Berry - I am contacting you because we are currently working on making (or in some cases adding to existing) wikipedia pages for women and underrepresented minorities who made contributions to Atari games in the 70s and 80s - and Danielle Bunten Berry is on our list. Therefore, we hope that you will welcome the few add-on to include her in the [Women project], which is also part of [in Red] - cheers DrFancyGenius

Hello there Dave, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice work on the Jimmie Foxx article. Cheers! --maveric149
Nice work on the Billy Mitchell entry, Dave! Tannin
- Yup, great work! It is a good article. Danny
I just wanted to compliment your P. T. Barnum article. It's wonderful. After seeing some of your frustrations on your user page, you might want to compare the Joan Baez article with the Crass article. Oh, well ... Danny
- Oi! It's not my fault I know my stuff on Crass! and look on the bright side, at least having a short article on Joan Baez means it doesn't get 'michaelised' as often!!! :-) quercus robur 19:52 Apr 8, 2003 (UTC)
Sorry for confusion over Image talk:Btwashington.jpg - I hope it's all cleared up. Though I'm a bit baffled about you uploading it, since the log says Black Widow - or is there an older version that isn't showing? -- Tarquin 22:19 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
This is from the Library of Congress website:
- Although the Library cannot grant permission for use of images, it does request that the following credit line be used to assist in identifying images: Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division [reproduction number, e.g., LC-USZ62-110212].. Even if the photograph's copyright was not in question, you did not comply with this requirement. -- Zoe
This is a joint effort. If one person does something that causes the project to be taken down, we all suffer. We appreciate the work that many people do, including you, but you have to realize the consequences of a misstep. -- Zoe
- Never mind the consequences of torquing off contributors for no really good reason. You can fix missteps and then point them out, but I guess that doesn't give you a power trip. I'm glad that now I know your priorities. -- Dave Farquhar 12:42 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)
"How I wish I'd stuck to topics nobody cares about. Like Tip O'Neill."
- Why do you think I stick to Crass mate??? quercus robur
- Amen to that. Or concentrate my efforts on my own venue. The power trips here are nauseating. -- Dave Farquhar 12:42 Apr 18, 2003 (UTC)
Dave, I just wanted to tell you that I have removed your Lockheed U-2 pic for one which I believe is much better. I apologise if you are at all offended but I just want the best possible encyclopedia. I have not deleted your actual upload so, if you disagree with my move, just revert me. Best Wishes -- Adrian Pingstone 20:12 Apr 19, 2003 (UTC)
Dave, I hope you don't leave for good. Long before there was a such thing as a "sysop" around here I, among other Wikipedians, strongly advocated that we don't give out "superpowers" like permenant deletion and IP blocking to some people but not others. I do believe most of the people who freely exercise those powers without using the checks and balances we've tried to put in place (like Wikipedia:Votes for deletion) do so with good intentions; however, the results are unfortunate.
By the way, I like your blog. I hope you don't pan us in it. :) -- Stephen Gilbert 18:58 Apr 28, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Dave. I was wondering if you could provide a source, notes, anything on the nature of the Amiga/Atari relationship in 1984? I haven't seen anything in print, and "the story" always implies that Tramiel basically told them to go jump when he took over Atari - this is the version I used in the Commodore article. However your comments in Jay Miner essentially reverse this, saying that Tramiel was scooped by Commodore after he left. Can you clear this up for me?
I hope you don't mind that I moved Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod to Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. I updated your link, too. BTW, great dissertation.

Thanks for those pointers on the Amiga story Dave! User:Maury Markowitz
Hey David Tip O'Neill has an article it is not much certainly no Britany Spears :) Smith03 02:20, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hi, I never heard of a Commodore 116. (just under Commodore 16 in List of home computers). Are you sure it's not an error? At18 23:18, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- No, it's not a typo. But the 116 is very, very obscure. Do a Google search and you'll find a few pictures of it (along with a whole lot more than you ever wanted to know about that particular computer line). Basically it looks like a Plus/4 with a chicklet keyboard. I linked it to the C-16 article and mentioned it briefly there just because it really doesn't deserve another entry--from a software standpoint it's a C-16, and from a user standpoint it's really just a C-16 with a horrific keyboard and a cooler-looking case. Dave Farquhar 03:42, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I never suspected its existance :-) At18 14:39, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I for one am confused by the difference between scale and gauge as applied to model railways. (G-scale, but S-gauge.) Are they synonomous? Since you have contributed on this subject, could you perhaps tidy-up model railway, or perhaps add an explanation? Anjouli 15:58, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- Sure. I'll add it to the article, but the difference is pretty simple. Gauge is the measurement of the track. Scale is the model's measurement in relation to the original. Dave Farquhar 04:30, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
