Hey, I noticed your article on Grant Johannesen. In the past few weeks I categorized most classical pianists (all I could find) into two categories - Classical pianists (the Pianists should have only articles on pop, jazz or... other kind of pianists) and, in Johannesen's case, American pianists (categorized by their nationality). I would love to collaborate with you if you intend to write more articles about pianists because I feel that they have been greatly neglected in the past of Wikipedia. --Missmarple 06:31, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Is Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits possibly what you mean, or something else on Wikipedia:Statistics? --Michael Snow 15:37, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Wow, there wasn't an article before now, just a redirect to lyric? I have to agree with the comment by the person who first edited the page. Anyway, it looks like a good start.
I would mention that the opening phrase, calling it the "purest form of poetry", is arguably a value judgment. I can understand what is meant by it, but it warrants being qualified or explained more. Otherwise it's the sort of thing that partisans of dramatic poetry might object to (fortunately, people working on poetry articles don't get into many edit wars). Or if such a comment can be attributed to some significant figure, that would work as well.
I'll try and look for articles that need to be linked to this one. --Michael Snow 17:04, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. It looks like you've left, but if you come back and are at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. I've marked you on this list as "inactve". Feel free to update this as well. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) July 3, 2005 18:03 (UTC)
Done. You had added Federer, but his article says his birthday is August 8 - it appears that it's Roddick, not Federer, whose birthday is the 30th? --Michael Snow 4 July 2005 00:22 (UTC)
Hi. To get everybody thinking, I've created a survey about Year pages here. I'm telling all the participants of WikiProject Years and everyone else who has shown an interest in year pages or participated in the discussion. If you could check it out it would be appreciated, and tell anyone you think may be interested.Trevor macinnis 21:11, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure what's the best way to deal with it, as I don't usually follow this or get involved. I believe a fair number of them get removed as likely copyright violations, via Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion and related pages. --Michael Snow 07:03, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
It seems this was largely because the Catholic Encyclopedia's article on him is Morone, but it elsewhere occasionally spells his name Moroni. Anyway, I've merged the two pages and their histories. --Michael Snow 19:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
People who deal regularly with deleting articles understandably develop an instinctive dislike for articles about things that are only in planning stages. That's because they're usually dealing with things like upcoming albums from garage bands, or some independent filmmaker's ambitious project that may never materialize. I think that's ultimately what's going on here, and it got noticed because you weren't logged in (people monitor articles created from IP addresses much more closely because most of the junk comes in that way).
Anyway, I've put in my argument for why it should stay. I'll watch what happens from here, but I think that will help clear things up. --Michael Snow 17:05, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
It depends on the circumstances, I think. For example, Category:Latter Day Saint denominations should almost certainly not be changed, at least if the titles of the articles on the other denominations correctly indicate their preferred spellings. It appears that some categories already use Latter-day Saint because they specifically limit themselves to members of this church. If that limitation is not inherent in how the category is defined, it may not be as appropriate. Glancing at a few articles on RLDS/Community of Christ leaders, they tend not to have been categorized at all (but Frederick M. Smith is in Category:Latter Day Saint leaders), so the contents of the categories may be a little skewed. For that matter, I don't know what shorthand you would use these days to indicate a member of the Community of Christ. Perhaps the issue of categorization practices should be raised with the LDS WikiProject. I'm sure that at least some of the spelling and naming conventions have had to be hashed out before because of differences like this. --Michael Snow 17:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
In terms of markup, I believe they're handled simply by using HTML tags, as in <blockquote></blockquote>. I would assume that the stylistic standards for it are the same as anywhere else; if it's not in the Manual of Style, it's probably just because there's never been any real controversy about it. --Michael Snow 16:56, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
I think it was more the fact that your editing also removed a significant chunk of material, which most people treat as inherently suspicious and especially coming from someone who isn't logged in. That being said, articles on Arab and Israeli issues are often watched closely and fought over considerably, so progress there tends to be slow and sometimes has to be hashed out point by point. --Michael Snow 17:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi - thanks for your edits! I thought I'd follow up and ask to see what we missed anything. The Berghof was retained and serves as a retreat for the American military. - you probably meant the Berchtesgadener Hof, not Hitler's former residence, the Berghof. The hotel was vacated in 1996 and it looks like it's going to be demolished soon. General Walker Hotel (former Platterhof) has been already torn down. Jbetak 17:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:
Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BD2412 T 03:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
I disagree with you about the need for caps for the Laser Camera System. It is an auto-synchronous triangulation scanning laser camera (no caps). The product name is Laser Camera System (caps). As a wikipedia rookie, I figured I'd just point this out and let you decide whether to change it. --Rctaylor 15:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I haven't seen any particular instruction, so anything unusual is probably just coincidence. Obviously people could always stand to be more friendly instead of combative, and I'm sure most good work goes largely unacknowledged. --Michael Snow 18:57, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
The reason that the link for Karl Alex Muller is broken is because the article had to be deleted for copyright reasons; I believe there's an article in the Signpost about it. It needs to be re-created. DS 18:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
No, the article is fine, but the link in the table needs to be fixed. Ksnow 21:23, 5 November 2006 (UTC)Ksnow
I can't find any problem now. What happened, I think, is that in addition to the previous article being deleted, because it had been copied from Britannica, somebody deleted the redirect as well (which was used in the template). Somebody else has since re-created the redirect, so I think it's cleared up. --Michael Snow 21:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I see that you have recently been creating articles about municipalities of Grisons/Graubünden. You might like to know that there is a set of templates ('navboxes') you can add to each article that creates a list of the municipalities of that district. For example, to Ausserferrera, I have added {{Municipalities of the district of Hinterrhein}}. The templates are at Category:Swiss district templates. If you need help creating the remaining municipality articles, let me know. I created a Perl script that extracted all the table information from the German Wikipedia and created a standard stub article for each municipality, including all those in Graubünden. Docu was going to run a bot (D6) to complete the rest, but it looks like he has moved on to other things. --BillC 23:43, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Media help (Ogg) gives some instructions. I downloaded one of the options to run with Windows Media Player, though I don't remember which. It looks like supposedly Realplayer can do it, at least in some versions, if you can get to that option instead. --Michael Snow 23:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Where are you getting your information on mountain passes? Katr67 07:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I am intrigued by your statement that the "-ch" is not necessary. It seems to be part of the name, as used by the town's website, for instance. Is there something I've overlooked? --Stemonitis 12:36, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. You asked about this template. You can see or edit the template by clicking here: {{Engadin villages}}. I haven't been involved in editing this template at all, so you might want to get in touch with Docu, who, though he didn't create it, has made several edits to it, including several in the last few days. I am sure you can get it fixed between the two of you. Regards, — BillC talk 20:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello! We are a group of editors working to improve the quality of France related articles. You look like someone who might be interested in joining us in the France WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you in our project :-) STTW (talk) 16:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
On the Germany portal's talk page, somebody expressed a concern that your new Germany stubs (which are a bit short) do not differentiate between towns, municipalities and villages. (You called many of them "towns" although they do not have town rights). Could you take a look at the stubs again? Thank you, Kusma (talk) 18:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you recently created an article titled Agrigan. However, there was already an existing article titled Agrihan, and these are in fact the same island / volcano. So I have gone ahead and merged the text of Agrigan into Agrihan, and changed Agrigan to a redirect. In the future, please check for pre-existing articles under alternate spellings before creating articles. In the case of volcanoes, the best way to do so is to go the the Global Volcanism Program page for the volcano (e.g. Agrigan), and click the tab "Synonyms and Subfeatures". Thanks for your attention to this issue in the future, and thanks also for your efforts at creating several new volcano articles. Also, please consider joining WikiProject Volcanoes. --Seattle Skier (talk) 09:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ksnow, I see you've created navigation templates for virtually all districts of Germany. I think that's simply wonderful, thanks! One item I think is missing in the templates is the Verwaltungsgemeinschaften, Ämter etc., do you have a suggestion how to include those in a nice and consistent way? Another thing is that several links in the templates do not point to the right places, and of course not all municipalities in Germany have an article yet. Maybe we should make a list of all municipalities (from de:Kategorie:Liste (Gemeinden in Deutschland), for instance under WP:GER) and check all articles. Markussep 12:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you asked me a question about the infobox for German places. I see Agathoclea already solved the problem: there was a comma in the population number. The automatic population density calculation doesn't work then. If you want to know more about the template, see {{Infobox German Location}}. User:52 Pickup is the main contributor to the template, but you can also leave questions and remarks at the template talk page. Markussep Talk 18:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you asked me about the "former country" infobox in the Sponheim article. What is the problem? Markussep Talk 15:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm sending you this message since you were involved in the August 2005 survey on year pages. As I don't know if you've gathered, somebody has been fighting for a change to the house style on how to notate multiple events on the same date. A discussion is currently in progress - your contribution would be appreciated! -- Smjg (talk) 15:36, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh hey, you fixed the info boxen for Ostvorpommern. Did you get all of them? I was going to make my through when I had a chance, but I think you got them all. Yay for trans-language wiki-cooperation! Sethwoodworth (talk) 20:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
lmo:Herxheim shows up in my browser (I just moved it to the right place). Is it OK in yours now? Markussep Talk 11:44, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't know how to keep the width of the infobox within reasonable limits. You can ask User:52 Pickup. What I've been doing so far is removing everything after the ".de", but that's rather tedious of course. I saw you finished Rhineland-Palatinate the past few days, good work! Markussep Talk 11:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Happy New Year. For personal infomation, can you explain the logic of your edit. Particlarly
Mit freundliche Grüsse ClemRutter (talk) 14:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Gammelsdorf, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, I just finished the last district of Saxony-Anhalt (good work, most of it on your part!), and have started working on Schleswig-Holstein, the Dithmarschen district. Markussep Talk 21:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I see you have a history of working on the article Moses Amschel Bauer. I am looking at it from the project Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles where it is one of the longest {{unreferenced}} tagged articles that does not meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability. It has been tagged and completely without references since June 2006. It would be extremely helpful if you had some references you could add to the article to help support its verifiability and notability. Thanks for any help you can give.

Being that yo are currently doing a lot of work around French commune articles, I invite you to join the above WikiProject. Happy editing! Editorofthewiki 13:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you changed "Soissonnais" into "Soisson" in some articles. This refers to the fr:Communauté d'agglomération du Soissonnais. That article doesn't exist (yet) in English wikipedia. "Soissonnais" is the French name for the area around the city Soissons. "Soisson" doesn't mean anything, better leave it as "Soissonnais". I'm working on Saône-et-Loire now, lots of infoboxes with crucial missing data (coordinates, area). Markussep Talk 13:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Ksnow. I have noticed you italicising the word "commune" in articles on French communes. The term commune occurs in most English dictionaries and as such should not be italicised. Let me know what you think. Regards, Kiwipete (talk) 01:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I see you are creating navigational boxes for the French communes. Just a little tip regarding spacing the {{•}}: there should be no space between the link to a commune and the template. Example:
Thanks, Renata (talk) 00:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Bon jour. Please note that Auvergne is a disambiguation page. When you are adding infoboxes to articles on French localities, it would be preferable to format them with région=[[Auvergne (region)|Auvergne]]
rather than just région=[[Auvergne]]
