Zackaryas (talk) 21:49, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[1]
Hello! I am Zackaryas. I want to say that I agree with your opinion, regarding my response on Counterfeit rocks (Texas); his reasons agree as set forth in Db-u5. Rarely I find a person ready to hold an intelligent conversation, and also has very high ethic concepts and self-respect as,to consider the truth above their personal convictions. Usually when people do not meet these conditions, I do not talk with them and I contact the upper level. All right. I want to ask you that aticulo referring, in which quotes my name is cleared without delay. I argue that the reasons for this are: 1) Mr. Gutheinz, does not meet the necessary knowledge to make these claims. (Although in reality he said otherwise.) 2) This article qualify me as a scammer. This accusation does not have any support; I'm still waiting to be charged for that reason. (Nothing would make me happier.) 3) Therefore, this article attempting to damage my good name. 4) NASA never ordered eBay remove my ad ; even you, can see it in: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apollo-11-Moon-rock-Dust-meteorite-0-02-grams-approx-/191279122486?ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11235) As you can see this whole article is a farce, so, this post meets the conditions for removal, under the "Criteria for redaction" (2). But if what is written there, it can be considered as "mere factual statements ..." then my statements also must be considered in the same way. Best regards

On chili sauce - with the tomato-based description currently in place, ketchup and numerous other tomato-based non-chili-sauces are covered. Ketchup is NOT a chili sauce. Though tomato may be a main ingredient, it is not a main flavoring ingredient, which is why I changed it. I think the separation between chili sauce and hot sauce is dubious (hot sauce is a hot chili sauce, in my mind), but I didn't challenge that, as it's arguable. This, to me, is not. Thoughts?

Hello Northamerica,
Is it possible to relist this debate for a more clear consensus? I'm not too sure that "no consensus" was the answer, especially given how only one more vote was made after being relisted once.

Nice work! A long neglected article, so glad to see it improved and expanded. Is there even a map of the entire canal?--Milowent • hasspoken 13:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Goura, Cameroon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cocoa. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi!
The images in Solar activity could be kept as thumbs rather than galleries. It's the standard way of showing images within articles. See WP:Gallery. This is also pointed out by the Peer reviewer tool. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 01:05, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
I request that you change this close to mark it WP:NPASR. Unscintillating (talk) 22:28, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
For this case, I agree that the normal situation with a withdrawn nomination is no WP:NPASR. But the normal situation is that the nominator has concluded from the evidence that the article should be kept. The case here is agreement with a procedural analysis, and procedural closes create the need for WP:NPASR.
It is my opinion based on general knowledge of AfD comments that a "no consensus" result should generally not be brought back to AfD for two months, and a keep result should generally not be brought back to AfD for six months.
FYI, I have no plans to nominate this article. My concern is that there has been no deletion discussion, and that my argument in the AfD should not be the basis to prevent a speedy renomination following WP:BEFORE. Regards, Unscintillating (talk) 23:34, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

a long time ago, i MFD'd the coffee portal as a good faith gesture to an editor who had PRodded it. I thought we should keep it, and it turned out a lot of us agreed. since then, you did a great job bringing it up in quality. i have not been very active with food articles since then, but i have worked on other portals. great work. if everyone who could, adopted an orphaned portal and gave it a nice selection of articles, images, etc, we could recover these spaces from their moribund state. seems that a bunch were created since 2007, and most are useless. I really dont like having portals that are less than minimal quality. projects can be as defunct as possible and hang around, as they dont clutter up the reader experience. again thanks for your work here.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:44, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar |
For starting quite the most delicious article I've seen for sometime in Seafood pizza and doing a very good job!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:09, 3 September 2014 (UTC) |
Hi, I put the cn tag in Raven Tales because many tribes discussed in the article (Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Kwakwaka'wakw etc) are not linguistically Athabaskan. I'm not sure if whether or not they are genetically Athabaskan. In any definition "Athabaskan" leaves out some of these tribes, and includes vast geographic areas to the south that don't have Raven Tales. Maybe I should have put a dubious tag instead, but this was my concern. A less ambiguous geographic term like simply "Northwest coast" would do better, I think.

I just want you to know that your "Did you know" inclusion for today is wrong. There's a $1000 pizza that's being sold at a restaurant in New York: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/21/1000-pizza-ninos-pizza-new-york-city_n_1615538.html

Just found a shitload of pizzas more expensive than your claimed "world's most expensive pizza": http://hauteliving.com/2010/03/top-five-most-expensive-pizzas-in-the-world/29487/
