[edit] Undoing Overlinking

Thats ok for me, I appreciate the work you are doing to keep up the featured status, and I don't mind any reverts to my edits to keep the articles at this status. but there are some other links that relate to the subject, can I add them again separately?? Because your undo removed all the links I created, Keep up the good work, thank you :-) Maen. K. A. (talk) 15:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Sure, if you deem them related to the subject and all, that's fine. Sorry to have mass-reverted, I didn't see any that I definitely thought should stay, but I did see some that were kind of up in the air, so that's fine. Peace, delldot ∇. 15:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] DYK for Take Back the Land

On April 11, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Take Back the Land, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] translation

Hello Delldot, could you take a look at the article Paolo Vaccari, written by me? An eye by a native speaker is always better, thank you :) SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 18:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

The English is impeccable, looks like it was written by a native. The only problem I see is that there are no references. Can you add news sources or other references to back up the statements made in the article? Let me know if you need help. Peace, delldot ∇. 22:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the "impeccable", clearly you're too kind :) As for the references I'm going to provide some. thanks again. SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 08:36, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Provided sources (btw can you read Italian?), please let me know if that's enough. SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 09:05, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I can juuuust barely read Italian because I know Spanish, but I didn't look too long at those sources, from what I saw they looked good though. It would be good if you could find at least one in English if possible, so it's easier for en users to verify. I would also advise having at least one reference per paragraph, and definitely one for each sentence that contains a statistic-type fact, such as a score or a year. Generally great work though! delldot ∇. 20:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

As for the International scores there's Scrum.com that provides a whole table with players' all matches and points. I usually put it at the bottom of the articles for any purpose (including verification of course :-) ). SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 11:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good! delldot ∇. 17:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] HD article to GAN again ( this time nominated correctly! )

Hi delldot, trust all goes well ! Huntington's disease is nominated for good article review again! Looie496 has volunteered to review it this time, but I was wondering if, as it may be easier to check out an article from the past, you had any general comments ( the article has had a major facelift, but much of previous material is still there - all be it in a different place). Many thanks and be well L∴V 12:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Congrats LV, you've put so much into that article and improved it immensely. I haven't been very active lately but I'm happy to take a look when I get a chance. Take care, delldot ∇. 17:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou :) - Not just me - thyself, JFW and the hours ( if not days ) user:garrondo has put in! It's quite amazing glad there's other editors to work on the other articles :) L∴V 21:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dermatology

Do you have a specific interest in dermatology? ---kilbad (talk) 21:16, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

No, not really, just medical stuff in general. Why do you ask? delldot ∇. 21:18, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talkback

[edit] Hi!

Hi, Delldot! Like time no see. Good news! I've now become something of an activist in the Atheist community. What's even better is that there's a recently discovered fossil that proves that evolution is a fact!

Have a great day!--PeterWalser (talk) 16:34, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Good hearing from you. Wow, that's very cool. Activism has been an important and wonderful part of my life, I hope it is for you too. The fosil is fascinating, but remember in science you can never prove, only disprove: there's always room for doubt. (Of course, you can also make a really, really strong case!) delldot ∇. 13:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] another translation

Hi Delldot, as usual I need your competence as native speaker: I tried to de-stub this article, would you please check whether it has been correctly written in English? Thanks in advance, SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 18:02, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, sorry for the delay in getting back to you! Looks good, I'd say the main thing it needs is references from news sources (or other reliable sources). Every fact needs a reference. I did a little copy editing, but for the main part it looked like it was written by a native English speaker. delldot ∇. 16:48, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, you're tooooo kind :) I'm providing sources as soon as possible (I mean, I know where finding them, the problem is the time to find them :) ). SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 16:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Traditional marriage movement discussion

Hi. Back in 2007 you participated in this discussion. Would you be willing to provide your perspective on the current discussion at Talk:Traditional marriage movement? Thanks! (sdsds - talk) 02:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Uh-uh. spicy theme... Are overseas debates on such matters as flamy as here in Italy? :) SERGIUS (CATUS NIGER) 16:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Dunno, but it's definitely a big deal here in the US; we have some pretty right-wing fundamentalist Christian elements. Have you read about proposition 8? delldot ∇. 07:01, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] hi

My name is Dieaa elbarodi from syria i'm 24 years old i need ur help to put http://www.juventusmania.net as a fan site or supporters of the juventus football club we have a large fan base here in the middleeast even larger than canada and thier site is included in the main page of juventus f.c that's written here in wikipedia .

with all my respect Diea'a Elbarodi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dieaaa (talk • contribs) 12:34, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dieaa, thanks for the note. Usually the English Wikipedia prefers external links to be in English, is there an English version of the site? Or did you consider putting this link on the Arabic Wikipedia? It's not really the kind of link that's appropriate for an external link for an encyclopedia article, from what I can tell; it looks like it's commercial (at least from the 'store' part) and since external links are supposed to be informative, a fan site might not be the best external link. But you can bring it up on the talk page of the article and see if anyone objects. Am I right in thinking you want to put this link on the article for the football club? My impression is that it's not a great link and may get removed later, but it's not terrible and you could try putting it on and seeing if anyone minds. delldot ∇. 00:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] WP:REHAB

Good morning Dell, I don't remember if I told you about this new project. We are trying to get editors to help get this project going better. We are still in the start phase and are a bit disorganized due to some delays at that start up. But the project seems to be gaining more traction and acceptance. I really feel a project like this is needed and will become an asset. The WP:REHAB project is going to be the last chance stop to rehabilitate to rejoin the community. The editors that have be indefinitely blocked/banned come to this project to find mentors and learn policy so they can rehab themselves to become knowledgeable editors to help the project as a whole. We are trying to get administrators involved because they have the tools needed to see pages that regular editors can’t see plus have the power to block if the rehab isn’t going the way towards improving the editors behavior for return to good status. I am trying to do the minor things like research, watching the boards for rehab possibilities to share with others at the rehab project. I am really behind this project but I am under limitations because of my RL. I have been working at strengthening myself by trying to gain weight which is hard for me to do. I was down to 93 lbs. but with a lot of work and a whole lot of ice cream I weighed in at 103 ½ this week. I have to get my weight over 110 lbs for surgery. My spine is deteriorating due to my Crohn’s. The surgery will replace a disk in my neck area. So with this kind of surgery I don’t feel it is right for me to actively mentor or volunteer for anything until after the surgery and the healing period. If you would be interested, please pop over to the Rehab project and take a look at what we are trying to do. If you are interested and available to help, please sign up. I understand if you are too busy or you are not interested. I just want to share this with you and any lurkers that may be watching your page.

I hope you are well. Typing this is so hard with the nerve damage I have from my spine that is affecting my limbs right now. But I keep pushing on. Keep in touch. My email is also activate so drop in anytime if you would like to. I hope to be able to get the surgery started by the first part of the month. Cross your fingers, this is going to be hard on me I’ve been told. Take care, --CrohnieGal^Talk 10:32, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
