Camp Buckner[edit]

Thanks for your note. I didn't tag this article for deletion, I simply deleted it (and for the reason I gave, which was my opinion, but I concurred with the editor who tagged it for speedy deletion). I did considerably more than I usually do by adding the paragraph to the West Point article first. If you want to recreate the article, go right ahead. It's nearly certain that I won't be the person who tags it for deletion or who deletes it, because I haven't taken a personal interest in its existence; I delete dozens of pages every day for various reasons, usually prompted by other editors who have tagged the pages. There's no point in trying to convince me of its worthiness, since I've already made my opinion clear; you might want to consider that that opinion will be shared by others, if you merely recreate the page without improving it. Perhaps you could work with the page at West Point to come to a solution that suits both you and that page's editors; the paragraph seemed to fit there quite well, but if you feel Wikipedia would be improved by some other solution, go for it.

Will's AfDs[edit]

I assume you mean User:Sceptre, the one who placed the Amish School AfD? If so, I don't think he's acting in bad faith at all. Ten Pound Hammer(Broken clamshellsOtter chirps) 19:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's nothing personal[edit]

AfDs stopped being votes a long time ago, and debates don't exist if there is no back and forth. Tone can't always be properly interpreted across the internet and if you interpreted my tone as my taking the keep comments as personal I apologize, it wasn't intended as such. When an AfD closes the last thing I want someone to think is that an opinion or proposal wasn't properly addressed and considered and then wonder if deletion review is necessary or a second proposal.--Crossmr (talk) 19:59, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LoL, ok. Sorry if read too much into your comments. And thank you, for taking the time to write this. Its nice to know more than just names and clipped speech on AfD. Zidel333 (talk) 14:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Westfield State Champion(ship)s[edit]

Hello again. It's been a while since we've made any significant work on Westfield's page. Nice work on compiling the championship data from VHSL's record book. In any case, I've started working on a way to consolidate and categorize the champions list. My method is to use the same one employed by Plano Senior High School in displaying their athletic state championships. It's obvious how the football/baseball/lacrosse table works, but there's a problem when we work on golf/track. Those two sports don't have an actual championship match per se, but rather a state tournament. I have to do more research for golf on results, but in the end it should look like what the track table currently is. I will consider how academic-related state trophies can be included more effectively and get back to you on that.

On individual/event state champions, I don't think that's as notable as team champions when looking at other school pages. What would be more notable is state records held by Westfield athletes. For example, we currently hold the record time for 100-m Butterfly swimming event and 3,200-m Relay indoor track event. Our recent football championship victory is also the first 15-0 season in the 94-year history of VHSL.

In any case, lots of stuff I have yet to put into the article. I should have more time to add these in around mid-January. Arsonal (talk) 21:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LoL, thanks. An anonymous user added a cite for wrestling -- I double checked and realized we were missing dozens of champions. Thanks for finding that last ones, and your suggested tables for state champs looks very good btw. I heartily approve if we can get them all up, although it might necessitate forking that section off to its own article.
I've actually been writing down ideas for updating the article -- I'm going to try to make it my main project over Winter Break. If its OK, I'd like to sit down with you face to face, maybe at Starbucks, and discuss where we want the article to go. Mostly, pictures, Championship data, more recent refs, adding more to the intro, stealing ideas from other FA/Good High school articles etc. etc. In any case, there is surely a good chunk of work we can do. (Perhaps we can invite KeepOnTruckin as well, as he is the third most important editor to the article.)
Also, I wrote to Wikipedia talk:Notability (schools)#Issues with References asking for their opinion on the suitability of yearbooks as a source for citations. So far, the response has been minimal, but the Westfield High School (Fairfax County, Virginia) article was praised. Check it out if you're interested.

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

Elizabeth Gaskell[edit]

Hi, Zidel. It's a while since Clio last walked into your domain!

I did glance at the article you linked from The Victorian Web before giving a response to your original question, though I felt that I had to consider it a little more carefully before saying anything further. I was simply too tired last night!

I have to be frank with you that I am not at all sympathetic to modern ‘meta-readings’ of original works, which detect meanings that may have been far from the author's mind. I'm even less sympathetic to what might be termed the 'sexual semiotics' outlined by The Victorian Web. I am not saying that it is beyond all possibility that Gaskell may have had this intention in mind, though understanding her as I do I do not accept that the passage quoted carries the burden of sexual interpretation that has been placed upon it. Glasser's use of Dickens here, the meaning he draws, seems to me to be even more absurd, when the author merely writes, in a comic fashion, about the possibility of the most innocent forms of sexual contact; and what could be more innocent that a hurried kiss?!

Yes, it is true that Gaskell and Dickens lived at a time when direct sexual expression was all but impossible. But does that mean to say that either author felt so constrained by contemporary mores that they had to sublimate their true meaning? There are plenty of people today, in our age of liberty and licence, who do not feel 'compelled' to express themselves in direct sexual terms; and I do think the word compelled is most apt in this context. For it is almost as if Glasser is saying that Gaskell and Dickens were somehow compelled to hide their true meaning behind oblique forms of coded language, when he-and William A Cohen-simply does not know what they really had in mind. How could he? I am, after all, a great believer it Wittgenstein's wise dictum-'Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.'

In essence what I am saying, Zidel, is that Gaskell should be read as if you are looking at a world through her eyes, from the bottom up. She writes beautifully and well about a vanished world, an England of long ago. There is no need for a false modern thread to carry you through the labyrinth: for there is no labyrinth!

Sorry to go on at such length. Love Clio the Muse (talk) 23:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments regarding Knut (polar bear)[edit]

In reading the talk page for today's featured article, I noticed the comment you made regarding Knut (polar bear), an article I wrote and brought to FA status. You noted that the article is "distressing [sic] below the standard that almost all FAs are held to"; what do you mean by this, exactly? I don't see the article as what you call a "failure"; it passed FAC rather recently and appeared on the main page only last month, during which very few concerns were mentioned. I ask that if you have issues with individual articles such as this one, you should voice explicit concerns on the individual articles' talk pages rather than make blanket statements on unrelated spaces; otherwise, how am I (and other main contributors) supposed to know how to address said concerns? Feedback would be much appreciated. María (habla conmigo) 17:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments made at the recent FPC, it's probably for the best anyway, I don't think I could possibly handle having a featured picture to my name. :P If you need help with anything, my door is always open. Regards, Rudget. 20:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont have a favourite either! It's just so hard! I agree with all your arguments! Rose is (well let's face it) a thick cockney but shes pretty and loyal and she would never (ever ever ever) have left the doctor (and I loved their romance...the ending is just too sad!). Then there's Martha, who has proved to be very capable but ultimately left the doctor all alone. And then there's Donna who is the funniest (do you get the Catherine Tate show in USA?) and (thank goodness) the only one who hasn't fallen in love with the doctor. She is very level headed and seems more of the doc's equal than the others! You must send me some links for evidence of the paralell world breaking down! When I first saw Rose on Partners in Crime I thought I was hallucinating (I want her back!!). I do get what you mean about bringing her back 'for fan service'. I think they may have to kill her for good this time. They can hardly trap her in some other place...it would be such a rip off! I for one want them to get married and for her to be a Time Lady (because she looked into the vortex) and for them to have Time Babies. If not I want my money back = )!!! I totally agree with your comment about Russel T D, he has so much controll even though he isn't the best writer! I say kick him! Russel T Davies has totally gay-ified everything! Soon he will have David Tennant in pink = )! I also agree with some of the points raised on your youtube link (thanks btw). The new series of doctor who is very child orientanted! I recently watched resurrection of the daleks and was suprised how adult orientated it was! There was also a lot more killing/murder/death in the older episodes than one thinks! Glad your a Tennant fan too! PS: I almost corrected your 'traveled' only to remember it is American English spelling! I suppose 'travelled' looks wierd to you!? My English spelling is going to get me into trouble one of these days! --Cameron (t|p|c) 20:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When you've watched the latest episode you can tell me what you think of the latest American accent! I thought he sounded really wierd but that is probably because over here we are used to the actor (Sampson) speaking proper English = )... Have you seen the Catherine Tate vs Tony Blair clip? It just goes to show; he had a sense of humour (humor = )) even thought he was a crap politician! Not too sure what I think about the Time Babies link = ), looks rather like any old baby-fiction to me! It would be more exciting if she gave birth to a dalek!! I totally agree with you about 'The Runaway Bride'. She was so annoying (and generally noisy!) on that episode! This series I thought she had actually been very good. Up and till now she has had 2 very emotional scenes that (in my opinion were brilliantly acted: The first was in 'Fires of Pompeii' when she beg the doctor to save ...; and the second was when she listens to the ood song (I left the dots in case you havent seen that eppy, yet!). I also agree with you about Rose's return...I'm pretty sure she will die...even though I will be so sad (not to mention the doctor). Although the 3-parter may not necessarily indicate a grand finale. Last series was (arguably) a 3-parter and we all thought it was going to be for Martha to go out with a bang! And then her departure was very unspectacular indeed (not to mention the whole episode!I thought Daleks in M. was far better than the last episode, and you?)! I dont know which episode the daleks are back this season but they are definitely back! There are various you tube picutres showing them working with daleks and even a video (sorry I just looked for the link but couldnt find it!). I (yet again) agree with you about your apraisal of people doing foreign accents. Angelina Jolies accent as Lady Croft comes to mind (shudder). I'm planning on watching 'The Other Boleyn Girl' but I am rather scared the accents may distract! --Cameron (t|p|c) 19:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may also like to place {{User Russian Project}} on your userpage, as this will also place you in Category:WikiProject Russia members.

You created buchta[edit]

Is Buchteln and buchta two different cakes??

Warrington (talk) 22:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for Your message. Your information is entirely correct about the pastry. Roll is an East and Central-European pastry, a yeast pastry sheet rolled up and filled with different fillings, while Buchteln is (the Austrian name) for a a different type of pastry, from Austria, Bavaria, Poland, and Hungary, for small yeast pastry balls with the filling tossed inside, baked together in a pan in the oven. But this type of pastry is called Buchta in other languages, see and Polish wikipedia, [1] and [2],so it is a bit confusing.


So the names are a bit mixed up.


You wrote: as Buchta is a small geographic name for what is essentially the same dessert (the roll). I wonder, which geographic name, what country and what language?
