Response

Crossmr couldn't have been more wrong, I was (and currently still am) the maintaining site architect for the site in question, if that doesn't make it obvious that I have no reason to attack it, I do so state categorically. Lycurgus 03:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I may have misinterpreted this users comments and may also have made comments regarding perceived bias which were taken as attacks. Though I don't fully recall details (it was 5 mos ago), I regret this and am better aculturated now. Lycurgus 07:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About Babel ...

My Yüeh and Pu Tong Hua are not comparable to the IndoEuropean langs with similar numbers. However if I persist in this form this will change as 文仁 develops.Lycurgus 01:55, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It really irks me that I will not have the resources to attempt any more than a few words of languages such as Arabic and Portugues and I will probably eventually add userboxen for them at level 0 where they will remain. Further the other constituents of Wen Ren are not co-equals either. I do not believe it practical that I can even come close to English fluency in any thing other than Modern Standard Chinese nor exceed in any other language outside Engels whatever is the highest level of my second language besides English from the constituents of Engels (as noted in our web). This would be either of Hochdeutsch or Nederlands. Latin (Spanish and French) is thus effectively limited to 1 or 2 level and any unselected wiki languages will remain zero.

Re: IP

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but the truth is, I did have a sneaky feeling that it was you editing from an anonymous IP, yet I chose to risk it wasn't you. For what it's worth, I'm sorry it didn't turn out that way. It's usually a good idea to edit your user page while logged under your username, but let me know if you wish me to mind my business and not touch your userpage again should I find such edits in the future. — Dorvaq (talk) 20:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it was fine, it was a very minor edit and you should continue if you like since the person can always revert themselves when they remember to log in.I didn't revert because I took the opportunity do the edit in a different/better way. Lycurgus 21:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Edit) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". It' looks like this:

This is especially true, when edits are made to an article that is often vandalized or seemingly used to push a certain POV, as they are prone to be scrutanized and will be contested, reverted, etc. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. Thank you for considering this, if you will. - Jeeny ^Talk 04:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, although I've had this account for more than a year, just began a phase of serious contribution this last month. Still finding my center, if you will, with respect to how I will adapt to community standards. Have stated my position on summaries on my POV page. Basically my thinking is that people shouldn't be hampered from contributing by the requirement of a summary if they are capable of making a (correct) judgement that none is needed (since the diff function clearly shows what changed). Lycurgus 05:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that the history shows the changes. But, that makes extra work for others who are not yet familiar with you, and I only ask that you respect that. Why make others do the work for changes you make? I do understand "finding a center", I was asking if you would be considerate to help others who work on this project, and who are serious about it. Not saying you aren't, but asking that you make that extra effort to provide the summaries, especially on articles that are prone to vandalism as Uncle Tom's Cabin is. That's all. :) - Jeeny ^Talk 05:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS, I will not read your POV page. I have enough to read. :) - Jeeny ^Talk 05:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will be happy to follow the always comment policy for any edits I might make to Uncle Tom's Cabin. Lycurgus 06:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
