Pounds per square inch

You asked for it to be deleted as a "cut and paste move that lost the prior history," but that does not seem to really be the case--it was moved correctly and the earlier history is on the page for the redirect from the earlier title: Pound-force per square inch. DGG (talk) 18:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

I only asked to merge these two to reinstate integrity of the history. Here is what happened:

• Pound-force per square inch was the original article + history started Jul 30 2001
• Pounds per square inch was a redirect page created Nov 16 2006
• On May 25 2007 Rracecarr cut-and-paste Pound-force per square inch content into Pounds per square inch with comment move page from pounds-force per square inch, change some inappropriate wording.

If done properly, earlier history was supposed to be transfered in full into the article with the new name. AFAIK when article needs to be moved and new name already exists (e.g. as a redirect), article with new name has to be temporarily deleted. Otherwise, history gets split between article with the old name and article with the new name - which is the case here. We still have one article but its history from Jul 30 2001 through May 25 2007 is missing (i.e. it's on redirect page) which is unacceptable. I hope you are willing to take another look at it. maksdo 20:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

According to WP:MOVE what I did it meets the GFDL requirements. There seems to be substantial history now on both pages, so it gets complicated; I think the place to ask for an expert is at WP:RM or its talk page.DGG (talk) 22:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Move request for Gomel

I have closed the discussion on the move request for Gomel→Homiel. There has been no discussion on the subject since the request was posted ten days ago, hence there is no consensus to rename the page. I would suggest that you raise the issue with the Eastern Europe Wikiproject and see if there would be support for the renaming of articles dealing with Belarus. ●DanMS • Talk 20:47, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Please remain calm when warning vandals

Hello. I noticed your warning at User talk:166.67.49.202 - note that we don't usually indefinitely block anonymous users, so telling them otherwise is not correct. Please just try to remain calm when dealing with vandalism. Thanks. --- RockMFR 21:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I am calm. You have answered to your own comment: "we don't usually" means that "sometimes we do". I just wanted to mention all possible consequences, including extreme ones. maksdo 21:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, Maksdo, calm down! Yeesh! Minaker 10:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Just kidding. By the way, good call on FIXING the inappropriate link in the immigration article rather than just deleting it like I did. Next time, I'll know better. Minaker 10:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Gomel

Please see here. Maksdo 21:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Sooooo, why wouldn't I expect that after your point being completely shambled by embarrasing yourself, you have digressed to your favoured personal attacks again! Well, talking to you is like talking to a dead ferret with a large dagger through its spleen. Now you can imagine how I feel. I am sorry but you sound like an obbsessive, hypocritical, sentimental, nationalist, stubborn, delirious, angry, fussy, immature, pretentious, disturbed, sensitive, taking everything too seriously, upset middle-aged stalker flaming you mid-life crisis on my talk page. Relax, take some Prozac, shoot up some heroin, do something but just immobilise your nerves for a moment.

A lot of other editors have picked up on this line as well, you are obsessing on these issues on which you are obviously incorrect too much and you are going to blow another fuse out of your hair plugs. Your edits are superfluous and inane, you make rules up to claim that I am not allowed to edit Wikipedia because your hair plugs tell you to do so. You start WikiStalking me, a place where you do not belong. Well it still would have been all right if your stalking was reasonable to point out a mistake. So far, you have failed miserably. Judging by your talk page and having witnessed your nationalist crusading first hand, I have to agree with other editors: no, all of the time you completely and utterly have no idea what you are doing or know anything about the material you are editing whatsoever. Your recent crackpot filibuster serves as the ultimate example for your obsession and stupidity within your creed to edit this encyclopaedia with your nationalist POV and Divine Right ideals.

As a result, you are now crusading my talk page for reasons that you again cannot fully understand: you are the one who is making an idiot of yourself in the end. I wish we could call a psychotherapist. You seem to be digressing from your opium-induced point. If you want to write a concise and serious post, turn off the television and focus.

I am almost finished. Friendly advice: free yourself from denial and admit that you are wrong and... get a life... or at least something left of it, the alcohol poisoning will kick in soon enough. Or better off, get yourself some rough trade. Take a walk into a sanatorium, buy another prescription of Paxil, the world doesn't revolve around you and your cruft. Don't be so hypocritical. Sanity and diligence are always a plus. End of this discussion (unless you haven't matured yet). Reginmund 03:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Template:Navbox SkyTeam

Regarding the email you have sent me, please see WP:NFC, specifically criterion 9. Image:SkyTeam banner.png is a non-free image, and that means it can only be directly used in articles. That means they cannot be included in user pages, talk pages, templates, etc. For future reference, please contact the user directly on their talk page, not by sending an email unless if you really have to. Thanks, O₂ (息 • 吹) 23:37, 01 November 2007 (GMT)

I appreciate your comment and agree with you. I was not aware of limitations imposed by Wikipedia:Non-free_content_criteria_exemptions on templates. Image use and copyright tags is the subject still somewhat confusing to me. Will restate all pages affected. Maksdo 21:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

SkyTeam Template

Please do not touch the Template:Navbox_SkyTeam. While you may think it's proper English to make that change, this template has been the way it is for sometime now and all revert edits made against your are going to stay that way. The only way your edits will be implemented is if we reach a consensus.--Golich17 16:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure. What seems to be the problem? Do you want to discuss it here on my talk page or on:Template_talk:Navbox_SkyTeam? I understand you are editing as User:68.41.99.60 (Talk | contribs) and User:Golich17 (Talk | contribs). Maksdo 17:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

My mistake for not logging in always. Sorry for that.--Golich17 01:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

My basic point is the way it has been seems to be working. I don't think it is right to put, Airlines of SkyTeam. It only seems right to add the "the" part of speech.--Golich17 23:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
