User talk:Ou tis

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Season's Greetings Ou tis, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

some General guidance.
Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
Use the Show preview button
Provide an Edit summary
Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
Take a look at Consensus of standards
Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf ^melmac 17:56, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Grand Duke

Thanks for doing the sensible thing to the notes in the list of songs. I wanted to do something similar, but felt it would need going into the whole thorny question of variant versions of the text, and I couldn't face that. ColinFine 00:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response

I've responded to your comments on WP:MACK. To be frank, I'm depressed that you apparently think so little of Wikipedia and how it works. I wonder if you might reconsider your position? Mackensen (talk) 16:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

G&S

Good comments on the G&S pages so far. What's your interest in G&S. Have you done the shows? Best regards, --Ssilvers 14:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AWW

I've tried to make the note about the passive voice on Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words a little easier to swallow. The point is subtle: that some weasel words require a passive sentence (like "It is said that ..."), and that at least some well-respected writing guides recommend strongly against overuse of the passive voice. I agree that the original sentence was overly strong, and I've tried to soften it. Your comments welcome. --ESP 04:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Parade

Thanks for the reference in the Parade article. I don't personally think noting the standing ovation at the Edinburgh Festival is relevant (I saw the production btw, it was excellent aside from a few technical problems!) but I'm glad that we've reached a more provable version. I'm not convinced a list of past productions is appropriate for the introduction; what do you think? 192.102.214.6 08:56, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

D'oh this was me by the way! Docta247 08:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Back from holiday?

Hello, Ou tis! Check out the "to do" list at WP:G&S if you'd like to help out with the G&S articles. It was good to meet you in person! My luggage is still delayed somewhere between Heathrow and the US. -- Ssilvers 01:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wasp

On the contrary, your comment was not relevant to the article, as the passage in question was a source saying that TUATW was the first comedic episode. While your personal opinion of CityofDeath may have been that it was funny (mine wasn't, actually!), it is irrelevant as anyone might find anything funny... I personally found WorldWarThree quite funny.

With respect to your quote from WP:TALK, I would direct you to WP:FORUM and to the part of WP:TALK where it says "irrelevant discussion is subject to removal." —TreasuryTag—t—c 17:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: "Mystic Quest" redirect

I'm changing your edit back. Mystic Quest is the name of the European version of Final Fantasy Adventure. In Japan, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is called "Final Fantasy USA Mystic Quest" and in europe, called "Mystic Quest Legend". This is the English wikipedia, not the 'European wikipedia' and most people worldwide recognise this game as Mystic Quest, so I'm reverting. --Ryu-chan (Talk | Contributions) 15:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Civilization V isn't out yet

Don't forget to change it back once the game is released though! Regards, CapnZapp (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign Against Female Genital Mutilation

I withdrew my AfD on this article, I'm gonna re-work the article as List of campaigns against female genital mutilation which may be notable as there are several high profile organizations which have campaigns in and of themselves. Vietminh (talk) 01:12, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

G&S Archive links

Thanks for updating some links at Haddon Hall (opera). The G&S Archive underwent a lot of changes a couple of years ago that changed a lot of urls, and we're still catching up. If you have time to check the Archive links on our 14 opera articles (and any other G and/or S articles you like), that would be extremely helpful. In any case, all the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Carter-Fuck

Please do not introduce inappropriate pages, such as Peter Carter-Fuck, to Wikipedia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:56, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
