I've reverted your change in redirect at Soviet; see Talk:Soviet. Also, have you considered further archiving your talk page? It's getting rather long. –Schmloof (talk · contribs) 09:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello Harrypotter, I just now noticed your note about this on the talk page of the article on the NHCS. I can try to see if anyone at NHCS has access to info about Sir Charles Briggs, maybe in their archives. I did want to say that there is a first-person historical account about Briggs in Barbados that is accessible via Googlebooks from a book called "English in the West Indies: or the bow of Ulysses" by James Anthony Froude. See here. Hope this is useful. Invertzoo (talk) 22:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
My problem is that these People's Commissars are exacly the same as Ministries. There are no differences, I've seen anywhere else where you create a seperate article for the same bloody thing. It haven't seen this happen in any other article, or topic, why in gods name should the Soviet government be treated any different? It shouldn't... Second argument, none of these articles seems to be growing, no one is working on them, and if its true as some say that there is enough information out there to evolve these articles from stub and start-classes into GA's, FA's or an article that is not easily mergeable, then yes these articles should have seperate articles. But there has been no work on these articles, no work on trying to expand them, and therefor its hard to establish a reason for why two articles about the same thing should not be one article. If you can prove to me by actually finding enough sources for both articles which can get both articles in decent shape, it would have been okay. But instead you seem to want seperate articles because they had different names, even if they worked exacly the same way and did the exacly the samething. Do you now understand my problem? --TIAYN (talk) 12:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Plan, instead of naming the articles Ministry of People's Commissar of/for, instead we title People's Commissar and Ministry of Foreign Affairs... What do you think? --TIAYN (talk) 20:11, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I've told administrators about your recent unconstructive behaviour, it is sad that you don't bother to read sources. I mean, seriously, even Soviet sources say it was reorganised or renamed, but as all sources notes, these reorganisation wasn't that radical and the basic system remaned the same. I will revert all your vandalist edits on wikipedia, but seeing that you used your time vandalising instead of having a consructive discussion on the topic, that's why i'm calling the administrators at you. --TIAYN (talk) 07:26, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Hi. Don't be shocked again: I just changed the BUND page and also I moved the complete Savin issue. It is not deleted but moved to the BUNDjugend page where it belongs to. Just wanted to inform you cause you complained about removing the Savin reference before. (And you were quite right then.) --Typograppa (talk) 15:01, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
I thought we were finished! But instead you start lying claiming there was no "Ministry of Finance of the RSFSR" and creating redirects.... What the hell is wrong with you???? --TIAYN (talk) 07:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedian in Residence. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedian in Residence redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Bridgeplayer (talk) 03:02, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Either you stop vandalising wiki, denying that a Ministry never existed, or we merge the entire MinofFin of the RSFSR article to Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation...... I must admit, I wonder why I even bother to post on this wall when I know you don't really give a shit about discussing, don't give a shit about references and don't give a shit about actually discussing and trying to come to a consensues... but hey, if you want act like that, i'm fine, but you won't come anywhere and all your edits will be reverted! --TIAYN (talk) 20:58, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Henry Vasnier requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. jsfouche ☽☾ talk 06:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedian,
This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.
For information on the community IRC meeting please go here
More to come about:
Many Thanks
Just a quick reminder about the IRC meeting at 1800 UTC tonight to bring together the Wikimedia community in the UK to help the growth and success of the UK chapter and community activities. For information see wmuk:Community_IRC_meetings
Hi, I see that you have changed Robert Chambers into a redirect to the disambiguation page and moved the content about the naturalist and publisher to Robert Chambers (journalist). Could you help fix the incoming links to Robert Chambers please? As far as I can see they all refer to Robert Chambers (journalist). You may find Dab solver useful.

On your question of Nov 15th about the James Monroe Trotter article, "55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry or 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry?", all documentation that I have encountered makes specific reference to the Massachusetts 55th regiment rather than the more famous 54th. Apparently, Trotter was counted among about 222 volunteers from the state of Ohio, joining one of the ten companies that mustered in during May and June of 1863. Thank you for the question and please forgive the delay in respondingTonymartin (talk) 20:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

The article David Boje has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —KuyaBriBriTalk 21:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians!
Thank you for your interest today regarding the events at Imperial College next week.
To confirm, the events will be taking place in South Kensington
Imperial College London Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ
Check out the interactive and street maps http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/campusinfo/southkensington
Wednesday's event will be happening outside Sherfield building and in Junior common room 1230-~330pm it is the sign up day, handing out leaflets; Thursday is the day where you can engage IC students at the meet and greet from about 530-630pm, in Sir Alexander Fleming building room G60 (ring me when you get there).
Here is the contrib team page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRIB/Imperial2
I (would) attach a copy of the basic events plan. could you e-mail me me using the e-mail function under toolbox at user:vinnypatel so I can do this? PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOP IF YOU CAN(please)! Fabian I'd really like to get you on board to do a brief game thing and make the day more interesting
Regarding Thursday's event, I will confirm by e-mail with you that there is sufficient interest form students to make it worth your while to come along, but I think this will be the case. If you could put your name down as a preliminary first that would be great.
I would like to underline that while we may not have a collosus of students, your interaction will I think get things going with our society, and alumni and external Wikipedians giving us a taste of their experience and understanding of Wikipedia will provide things students will want to come back to.
Thanks!

Hi Fabian, Vinesh here from Wikipedians at IC - I was wondering if you could e-mail me the photo you took on Thursday 17th Feb at our Meet and Greet event? I believe you have my e-mail, and we could really use it as a way of showing to the Union that there was a good turnout etc. If you could include in your e-mail a bit of text as to the University of East London society coming up and how that could you would like to collaborate with us, that would be great!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Men of Essex is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Men of Essex until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Pburka (talk) 23:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Nice to hear that my game has attracted some interest. We played it two or three times at Mercyhurst College in connection with my master's program class. It took about an hour and half, maybe a bit less. It has some of the character of Diplomacy due to the required personal interaction between rounds. The first playing of the game resulted in discovery of a flaw in the game that allowed one player to manipulate the result. The posted rules include a fix to the game. The multiple plays of the game were required to sort that issue out. I found it fascinating that students kept losing the game. Since I modeled the game on the complexities of Chinese government, I suspect that American students have a hard time tolerating the give and take of Party politics. I'll be interested to hear how you fare. I hope you'll let me know.Pnoble805 (talk) 02:16, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Unable to make it, but many thanks for the heads up.
I am thoroughly supportive of any and all attempts to get more scholarly Scottish content onto Wikipedia, eg. from the country's extensive archives. I am not remotely supportive of any "Yookay"-based organisations interfering in Scottish affairs, so anything under a "Wikimedia UK" (sic) banner will be getting precisely zilch support from me, and I suspect a great many other Scotland-interested Wikipedia editors. On the other hand, a Wikimedia Scotland chapter would get my full backing. --Mais oui! (talk) 02:16, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
