Contreltophobia

Hi. I'd like to reinstate this page as a redirect to Agraphobia - it seems to be a valid alternative term for the condition. During creation however, I see that this page did exist as a redirect to -phobia, and was deleted by you back in March 2006. I regard this proposed redirect as valid as it links to a specific page, and not the one that was deleted. I doubt there would be any problem in me 'recreating' the redirect (to a different page), but the guidelines don't see to make any exceptions that cover this instance so, as per the guidelines and to avoid falling foul of the wrath of an Administrator, I'm asking your opinion on recreation. :-) CultureDrone (talk) 13:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK nom

Did you know? was updated. On 23 December, 2007, a fact from the article Computational humor, which you recently nominated, was featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for nominating this amusing article for DYK, Mikka. I think this would be a great one for the WikiWorld comic too. --JayHenry (talk) 22:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

New category

Hi Mikkalai. Just to let you know that there is a new category for Military theorists created by Kirill. I have changed this in Tukhachevskii accordingly since he was more of a theorist then a 'writer'. Please spread the word--Mrg3105 (talk) 02:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguous Daisy Systems (disambiguation)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Daisy Systems (disambiguation), by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Daisy Systems (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page that only points to a single article, or no articles at all.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Daisy Systems (disambiguation), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Daisy Systems

I don't mean to be paranoid, but I can't help but think you are out to out-wikilawyer me... it's really not my intention to pick a fight.

In the case of me calling the extlink "spam", note that one anonymous editor in one shot added a person with no WP entry, and no less than four companies that also do not have WP entries, complete with an extlink to the person's most current company. Given that the extlink has nothing to do with the article, that struck me as linkspam.

I left the person and his companies in, since they did have some potential claim to notability (see? I don't just blast redlinks out of the water for no reason :-), but I removed the external link, since it had basically nothing to do with Daisy. (And yeah, I called it spam.) If the link belongs anywhere in WP, it would be in an article about CrestaTech.

'k? Again, I have no interest whatsoever in a peeing match. Just like you, I'm just trying to improve WP.--NapoliRoma (talk) 04:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Empress Jingū

In the context created by your recent entanglement in something to do with the legendary Empress Jingū of Japan, perhaps you may be interested in something posted on the National Archives of Japan website. As it happens, a likeness of the empress graced Meiji period 10-yen notes from 1883 through 1899, and an easy opportunity to see this for yourself is only a click away.

• National Archives of Japan: ...Click for link to image of 10-yen bill

Archive description: A banknote sample attached to a letter of inquiry submitted by Ministry of Finance to Grand Council of State in March, 1883, on issuance of a new 10 Yen Bill designed by Edoardo Chiossone, an Italian employed by the ministry. The face of the banknote depicts Empress Jingu. Circulation of this banknote started on Sept. 9, 1883, and ended on Dec. 31, 1899. "Kobun Fuzoku no Zu" (Pictures and charts affiliated with Kobun Roku ) containing this illustration were designated as National Important Cultural Properties of Japan in 1998 together with "Kobunroku".(Compiled Records of the Grand Council of State)

Thank you for your part in helping me to become a better contributor to Misplaced Pages's improvement. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 21:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Psychopathy, User:Zeraeph and User:Mattisse - lummee!

Hi. Sorry. Mattisse has filed a 3RR report on Zareaph following a slew of Z edits on the above article. I don't know if there were conditions on Z returning from her block (or what the result of Mattisse's report is) but there is obviously a need for some sort of resolution to this matter. I think I have some good standing with Z (very little with M, I'm afraid) and am willing to work with you and her to achieve a result - if you think it worthwhile. As I note that you are off-line presently I am going to note this comment to SlimVirgin, in case she is aware of any conditions regarding Z. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
