[edit] Cleanup on The Lottery
Thanks for adding The Lottery to Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Culture and Arts. The page was vandalised and improperly reverted. I have reverted to an earlier version with the whole article. In future, to revert a page simply find an appropriate edit using the history tab at the top of the page. Click the date to display that edit, then click "edit this page". Explain the revert in your edit summary and save the page. You have now restored the previous copy. Note that it is acceptable to mark an edit reverting vandalism an minor.
By the way, I have removed your entry from pages needing attention (as the main problem has now been fixed) and placed it on the article's talk page, as I agree the controversy needs to be explained. Thanks for joining Wikipedia! - Gareth Aus 23:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright issues on Open Letter to Hobbyists
Actually, I'm one of those Wikipedians who keep an eye on possible copyright infringements. The title of the letter has nothing to do with its copyright status. Unless it can be established that Gates grants rights copmatible with Wikipedia terms of use, the letter text should not appear in the article. Conscious 09:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Mom
This article was previously deleted per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Your_mom. May I revert it to a redirect?--Kchase T 04:05, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- I'd really rather you didn't. It may have been a crap article but I think it can be made decent. I did the best I could. I'd like to see more on other cultural implications besides the english-speaking world. Dgies 04:08, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- The original article sure is a magnet for stupidity though... Dgies
[edit] Grass fed beef
Dgies....apologies for the edit without explanation. I was unaware of the discussion forum. check out the discussion page for grass fed beef. I've tried to explain things and reach a compromise. Vpivet
[edit] SAP IDoc
Thanks for catching that copy violation. I've been learning about IDOCS over the last few months, so I'll take a stab at the rewrite (unless someone jumps in first) Anca 00:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. I found it because I ran across another case where Africanoracle did a wholesale rip-off, and decided to investigate his/her other edits. Dgies 04:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Speedying misspellings
why would u redirect a miss spelt name? it just makes wikipedia untidy when there is no need for it.--Dan027 09:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- The policy at Wikipedia:Redirect suggests using redirects for misspellings because theyprevent the creation (or recreation) of duplicate articles, and help people find what they're looking for. Also, it's good form to reply on the same page the message was left: it makes it easier to see the converstation thread. Dgies 09:35, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

- I usually do, but it was a minor snarky comment so I didn't care enough. Dgies 18:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] removing the "Failed Consensus" tag on the Schools discusion
Hi Dgies,
- I posted a response to your removal on the talk page. Your rationale sets an impossible, unreachable standard for Failed Consensus.
- This is a good-faith FYI or "heads-up" for you: I think that -- in the name of some form of "Due Process" -- your removal of the tag should be left as it is for a few days. But I will re-tag it in a few days unless someone says something really new and constructive; unless some momentum in a positive direction occurs. --Ling.Nut 13:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I posted a response explaining myself better Dgies 16:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you, Dgies
Thanks so much for helping on the Kee Bird page. I'm brand new at this, and I appreciate your finding the transcript to the NOVA documentary and linking to it. The story of that plane has fascinated me for years, and I felt Wikipedia needed a page about it. Thanks for the helpful links and the welcome. Take care. Rmw1978 06:22, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Windows template
Hey, I'd like to discuss your template idea... a good "series" template would be a great addition. Where would you prefer discussions to take place? Reply here, I'll watch your user page... -/- Warren 07:37, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- How 'bout here. It's a little more open that way. --Dgies 07:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
