Re: Thanks Woohookitty

No problem. :) By the way, Do the WikiCleaner 0.98 sounds like a new dance. :) --User:Woohookitty ^{Disamming fool!} 09:41, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Nothing to be sorry about. :) --User:Woohookitty ^{Disamming fool!} 10:00, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: copy edit

Hi Sir Floyd. Regarding your articles: I did some fairly light copyedit work on Kanavelic and somewhat more thorough one on Hatze. This does not necessarily reflect the extent of changes one would ideally like to see, it's just what I felt like doing at the moment. (For the record, I thought that Hatze was quite good for a new article.)

As for the references, say what you're interested in and I'll take a look. GregorB (talk) 18:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Why thank you GregorB! Sir Floyd (talk) 22:12, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Here's what I got: I've found a picture on Commons and took the liberty of inserting it into your article. I also found a very good reference: http://hrcak.srce.hr/file/26657. It is a scientific paper in both Croatian and English, I think you'll find it useful. I'll take another look and let you know if there's anything more of use.

Great Stuff, your liberties are very welcome. Thanks GregorB! Sir Floyd (talk)

Should Persecution of Falun Gong be renamed into something else?

That is the question that is repeated again here: Talk:Persecution of Falun Gong#Requesting Move. Since you are not an involved editor, would it be possible for you to provide an input? Thank you in advance for your time! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 17:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

I understand, that is OK, and thank you for your advice. If you know somebody who would be interested in this topic please let him know. The point is that the page does need some impartial assessment. Thank you again. --HappyInGeneral (talk) 00:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Index template

Your index looks better then mine. Is Cluebot doing it all? Thanks --HappyInGeneral (talk) 00:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Don't know, maybe it's the latest model. Sir Floyd (talk) 01:40, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Title

Well it certanly feels like I'm very much alone. As I understood it, Wikipedia is based on consensus between Editors & Ivan Rumora-Jnr has got the needed consensus. You have to give him credit there. Strange considering the news that's coming out of Slovenia & Croatia "100 000 POWs murdered by Tito's Regime just after WW2". The enomority of this is beyond belief. My family on both sides fought on Tito's side and we are all having trouble coming to terms, with what was realy going on.Sir Floyd (talk) 00:03, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Your ancestors both fought in the Yugoslav Communist resistance? I could be wrong but I don't think you're Yugoslav. Did I misunderstand you? Maybe all that's meant by that comment is that your grandparents fought for the Allies side. Interestingly enough, and since I seem to be the topic here, my family was/is very conservative... which is pretty much why I'm anti-communist I guess. And Floyd, your problem is your lack of any clear sources. Nothing more. You've nicely elaborated on how horrible Bleiburg was, yet you've not produced one historian that actually thinks the man ordered any of that. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 00:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I know you're "very much alone", but I'd appreciate it if you familiarized yourself with WP:HARRASS. All of the above is very much against Wikipedia policy... --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 00:33, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I saw the situation arising here, that ip was blocked and of course Direktor is free to remove any such comment that he finds anywhere. I would just say that you guys get on better when you don't meet. Take care, try to assume at least a little bit of good faith. Off2riorob (talk) 02:36, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't think he was really attacking, it is upsetting when a post like was posted here appears, and we shouls all help to stop posts like that appearing. I would suggest archiving the small discussion and moving on, moving the comment manually to your archives to remove the issue. I will do that for you if you like. Off2riorob (talk) 03:23, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your good will Off2riorob :)

ps I wrote a song called Blue Girl (it was a very long time ago) Sir Floyd (talk) 03:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Floyd, please for the sake of calm sanity try to edit in areas not populated by Direktor as nothing will come of it except dispute, there are, I would say, unsolvable differences of opinion between you guys, you will both enjoy editing more if there is distance between you, this is nothing more than a friendly suggestion, regards.

Off2riorob Request

Hi Off2riorob, I'll give it some thought since it's you asking me. You have to understand since the Commissions Report there has been something strange happening, that I have never witness in my community, I guess we are hurting. Are you familiar with the Commissions Report? It has brought a raw truth to my life. There is no way around it because it is factual. The Tito article should reflect the facts? Ivan (the Director) is a young man who has got it wrong. I myself have been in the former Yugoslavia and am part of it's history, and also have studied History. My heart is good I wish nobody ill will :) Regards Sir Floyd (talk) 15:42, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
