Re Lung: very clear, thanks! AxelBoldt 18:08, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Cheers for the correction on Robert Edwin Lee! --snoyes 04:48, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I guess my concern is his suddenly rewriting the article to claim that immunity doesn't exist - I saw a Discover article some time ago about the apparently immune African prostitues, were they all just lucky? In particular, they have been cited as evidence for natural selection among humans, so I can't help wondering if anyone objecting to their existence is a creationist. -- Pakaran 05:26, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I think at last count, 43 of them were still lucky. It make sense to talk about "relative susceptibility" rather than "immunity", which is too absolute-sounding. -- Someone else 06:03, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

quotes vs. italics

I guess i forgot how plays were written. Am I right in my other thinking?

novels, "short stories"
movies, "television shows"

Thanks for the help! That info should be on Wikipedia:Manual of Style in easy to read form, no? Kingturtle 11:04, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

not trolling

We've had this discussion about five times before. We've had votes. Bringing it up on VfD again without trying to get a consensus first is pretty close to trolling, though I regret using such a word to describe the actions of Someone else. Martin 18:53, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Martin, the problem can't be cured by a fragmented approach. And a return to discussion after more and more redirects get added is not fairly assessed as trolling. -- Someone else 19:03, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Two more redirects, I believe. The productive approach would be to get a consensus on Talk:AKFD/redirect on those two redirects, which should be easy, and then list those two redirects here. Relisting the whole kit-and-caboodle is not going to be productive, I fear. Martin 19:14, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Then again, maybe I'm just being unnecessarilly frightened. I've removed this from VfD, because it probably wasn't being very productive. Martin 19:36, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

How is it going to be more productive here than it was on VfD? -- Someone else 19:46, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Fewer people will see it, and you can delete it when read. Some folks get perturbed when I just delete their writings, so now I often move to user talk: instead for them to deal with as they will. Martin 19:56, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

So you want fewer people to see it? why? -- Someone else 20:04, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Because I think I wasn't being productive, so if fewer people see it then it will waste less of other people's time. Also, as I noted, I think I may have been unnecessarilly frightened. On the other hand, if you believe it is productive, by all means return it to VfD. Martin 20:09, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I don't know how you can have been frightened. Is the deletion of the network of AKFD redirects frightening? Nonetheless, I agree that the most productive thing would be to let a few other people express their opinions. -- Someone else 20:14, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I'm frightened at the kicking of sleeping dogs. Martin 23:13, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Dogs should be trained not to lie in the way. This one's blocking the doorway having puppies. I'm frightened that the unwatched pot will boil over. -- Someone else 00:25, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)

From Talk:AKFD/November 2003, I can't tell what people are thinking about deleting the original article. I don't think the redirects issue can be solved until that is decided. If the article goes, there is no point having redirects to it. Do you think the consensus on the original article was to delete it? Angela 16:22, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I think the old votes on redirects are void because people were voting about redirecting to an article that existed, but now it doesn't exist (except as a redirect). However, Martin says this would be a mistake, and I can see his point. He suggests contacting those who previously voted to keep one or more of the redirects to ask them if, with the article having no independant existence, they would like to change their vote, or else re-affirm it. I've already wasted too much time on this silly article, so I'll leave it up to you if you want to do that. Votes should be made at Talk:AKFD/redirect. Angela 17:44, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Thank you - I thought I'd voted several times on this issue already but that seems not to be good enough for some people :( Secretlondon 19:47, Nov 22, 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you get to say "Martin decided", given that I just expressed my opinion to Angela, when she asked me. Still, maybe I should just be grateful that I have such power. Martin 21:12, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I certainly anticipated you'd raise a fuss if she deleted the pages that were voted on. Was I wrong? -- Someone else 21:26, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I've previously expressed my deep respect for Angela's decision-making abilities in this area, and her wisdom in determining when there is rough consensus for deletion. Where Angela decides to delete an article that was listed on VfD, I rarely have cause to even question her judgement, let alone the desire to raise a fuss. Martin 22:00, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Yes, Angela's decision-making ability was not in question. -- Someone else 22:21, 22 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Is Someone else gone from Wikipedia? That's disheartening. john 08:02, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Indeed it is, if that's so. If you're lurking out there, Someone, come back! --Camembert (who would put this in a poetic way if capable...)

I wonde if Someone else would be kind and check what I wrote on Folkung? Hope your are still there...Long time no hear? Dan Koehl 15:53, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Poll: New York City

You expressed interest in the name of the New York City article on its Talk page. Could you please vote in the poll there? Thank you. --Lowellian 00:01, May 2, 2004 (UTC)

Someone Else hasn't posted since last November, sadly
