Robocop Schematic

Hi. I'm sorry, but I don't remember where the original image came from; after I got your message, I looked through Google Images to see if something came up, but I didn't find anything. I'll keep looking around, if you like--are you concerned about "fair use" issues, or are you just curious? Viewer 17:41, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh--right after I closed the window I realized where it was from; the Robocop Archive. http://www.robocoparchive.com/info/blueprint3.jpg Viewer 17:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nine Inch Nails

I've been working on cleaning up the Nine Inch Nails article and implemented some of your suggestions (e.g., seperate discog page, external link pruning). I'd like to replace the current Nine Inch Nails#Albums section with a nicely-written history of the band, and I'm looking for folks with whom to collaborate. Would you be interested in helping out? -- Rynne 15:50, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No worries about not having spare time; I'm pretty busy too, so I'll probably be working in bursts when I've got free time. I'm gonna ask some of the other folks who frequent Talk:Nine Inch Nails for input as well. If you get anything together, let me know, and I'll do the same. -- Rynne 14:44, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I haven't written anything yet, but I put a basic outline of what I think should be included on Talk:Nine Inch Nails. Also, would you mind if I refactor the Sorting this article out section, along with some other things, into a to-do list for the page? -- Rynne 00:51, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, feel free to go ahead. -- Jon Dowland 14:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charver

On 22 September, you both redirected this article and tagged the redirect for deletion. However, you never listed the redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. Since simultaneously redirecting and marking RfD doesn't make sense (should have gone to AfD in that case) plus it's been so long, I have removed the RfD tag. If this wasn't simply a typo and you still feel it should be deleted, please remark and properly list. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 01:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's your point? An anon editor removes an author without explanation, I revert, then a logged-in author removes the author and explains why. Seems fine to me... -- Jon Dowland 12:05, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Linking years

Thanks for your message. Wikipedia Manual of Style used to discourage linking any part of an incomplete date, i.e., just a month, day or year, but it seems to have been softened with respect to years. See WP:DATE#Years.2C_decades.2C_and_centuries. MoS does continue to advise linking within the guidelines set out in WP:CONTEXT, however. In the case you mentioned, every year was linked, not just those that were particularly relevant to the article. Ground Zero | t 20:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GNER Principal Service Routes Map

Hello, thanks for your comment about the map, I'll get it changed. I was wondering if you would mind helping me with a copyright issue I have with the map. I made the map myself using MS Visio, however it's up for deletion and I'm not entirely sure how to stop it from being deleted. I have explained all on the image page: Image:GNERservicemap.jpg.

WikiProject Tyne and Wear

Hi there, I'm currently considering making a wikiproject called Wikipedia:WikiProject Tyne and Wear and I'm just wondering if you would be interested in joining if and when I'ts created as I noticed from a user category you live in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. It would be all about improving and creating wikipedia articles relating to Tyne and Wear. If you have any questions, comments or would like to show interest then please tell me on my talk page and if you know any other users who maybe interested in joining please feel free to tell them as it will need a few members in order to make it run smoothly. I will also be willing to create the project page and templates etc if there are enough active members. Thanks. Telly addict^{Editor review!} 15:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PKD/German

I see you took out the repeat reference to the "Fat" of "Horselover Fat" being a translation of "Dick" from the German. I almost did that myself because I couldnt' see the relevance, but I finally decided that the contributor was going for anything which indicated a German influence in Valis.
