User talk:RmhermenHi there, I'm a 41 year old male, married, no kids. Considering a job offer in Detroit, and I wonder what life in Detroit is like. We are more following the "Yuppie" lifestyle, restaurants, bars, a nice live music spot from time to time. On the weekends, walking, hiking. Play tennis, some golf. Shopping, working out in a gym. Would prefer to live in a lively, clean and safe neighbourhood, preferrably in a well managed appartment building. Any suggestions? (ralf.stoehr@gmx.net)
Mississippian cultureJust wanted to thank you for your comment on my Mississippian culture article. I will be expanding not only that article, but adding relevant material on American mounds (i.e. non-barrow mounds) and mound building peoples as well. Thanks for the links, I didn't have time to do them yesterday. TriNotch 22:30, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC) CadillacHow do I do the picture thing correctly? My Sixteen photo wasn't okay? Also, I'm interested in adding a timeline section to the Cadillac article... MadonnaFan 21:56, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I just googled and found the pic... And that concept car is the pinnacle of Cadillac's current design theme and comeback, and that is one of the best looking automobiles ever, in my opinion... And I was talking about an "Innovation Timeline" using info from: http://www.cadillac.com/Spotlights/Timeline/ and I would post it on the article page like 1902: 1.) 2.) and then do it year by year whenever something significant happened...MadonnaFan 22:19, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC) Cadillac removalHi! I think my reversion and rearrangement edit to Cadillac automobile has crossed with your edit and mine seems to have supplanted yours. By all means put it back to how you like it, if you don't like my version. I took the silver pic near Bristol (England) so was very annoyed to see it removed without reason. I've put the pics in age order so now the concept pic is at the bottom - Adrian Pingstone 22:17, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Was Adams an astronaut?It's obviously a contentious issue, which is why I went to the trouble of writing a paragraph explaning the facts as they stand from a NPOV. I'd appreciate it if you left the paragraph in place and joined discussion on the Talk page. Dan100 21:14, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)
I honestly thought you meant the next paragraph, not further down the article. A simple mis-understanding on my part. Sorry. Dan100 15:44, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC) Space flight disastersI note you've made some big changes to that page, are you moving the removed material to other pages and making a catergory? Dan100 15:44, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC) Edits in Peruvian pre-history articlesI just wanted to thank you for the revisions. English isn't my first language and I think every one of you edits has improved the readability of the articles. -- Zenyu 01:07, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC) Hands (unit of length)Either a hand is not 4 inches or 15 hands is not 30 inches, by simple multiplication (a Shetland pony?!) I think all the thirty-something numbers should be 60-somethings, but I'm not expert enough to declare it. Chemical weapon proliferationHello, Rmhermen. I hope your holidays have gone well. Thank you very much for all of your constructive criticism - I genuinely appreciate the time you've taken to point out some things that I missed and/or improperly understood. You are clearly very knowledgeable in the broad subject of proliferation, which offsets my more "scientifically oriented" understanding of chemical weaponry. The main reason I'm writing you is that I would very much like to try to refine chemical warfare so that it will pass through FAC. The article needs a good amount of work before it passes FAC, and my weakest area in the already broad subject is the compex topic of proliferation. If you have some time, I would very much appreciate any help you can offer. Many thanks in advance, ClockworkSoul 19:08, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC) Renaming "," to "()" styleHi. I noticed you're working on renaming articles from "..., New York" to "... (New York)". Before you go too far, please take a look at Talk:City Island, New York. I'd request that you *not* rename the City Island article for the reasons outlined there. Thanks. --RoySmith 22:23, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) I see I was too late. Sigh. --RoySmith 22:49, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
No biggie. I'm more amused by the multiple renames than anything else. There have been worse sins committed to that page than renaming it. --RoySmith 23:13, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
movie stubsIf you read about my current project (User:Cburnett#Current Project) you'll see I'm adding categories to movies. So my purpose in creating very stubby movie articles is a place holder for the categories. After adding thousands (and many thousands to go) of category entries I don't want a couple dozen movies to be missing them just because someone else created them after I passed the movie in one of the lists. I'd consider putting more effort into stub articles but the process of adding categories has proven so time consuming that spending even 15 minutes or more on each would amount to a lot of time...and I'd like to finish this project some day... Cburnett 16:55, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC) soup pageHi there, I am very thankful that you are watching the soup page. I noticed that there was a lot of discussion, but that nothing had been done with it in a long time. I am taking a stab at it, and I do have experience as a food historian. I hope that you'll give me some time on this, because there are some great books on this history of food. I realize that I deleted a great deal in the article, but you can revert if you don't like what I've done so far, it's up to you. I felt that the article was veering all over the place instead of sticking to the topic: SOUP! It isn't stew; it isn't porridge; it needs focus. So...that's my goal. I read the notes very carefully, and I've tried to explain my thoughts. I do feel that while the history is important, it should be considered that soup as a course is a fairly modern concept. If memory serves me right, that's Escoffier's contribution. Like I said-I do need to run to the library to confirm my sources and get the right books to check on this, and properly cite. Hope you approve. Many thanks, allie 14:27, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC) THANK YOU!!!Thanks so very much for the edit on the Erie Triangle image. Any other improvements you have to offer would also be more than welcome...I was at a loss. You rock. Thanks. jengod 19:33, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC) FootnotesThose clickable footnotes you added to Penda of Mercia, is that some new Wikipedia standard or something? To tell you the truth, I don't really like how they look, but if they're a standard then I'll just learn to like 'em. Everyking 00:52, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I'm going to write more about the confusion regarding Bede's chronology later, hopefully, but I need to read up on it more so I can be sure I don't get anything wrong. Those chronological issues need to be dealt with in many Anglo-Saxon history articles of the period. The small text refers to parts of Kirby's chapter, as they are sectioned off that way, and I figured I might as well specify the parts I got the info from. Everyking 16:44, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Re: SoupI've done a lot of research on the topic (as promised) and this is not an easy article. BOILING food is as old as fire; SOUP is quite a modern invention. Food history is a rather ignored discipline, as a whole. Will begin a summary on Soup in the next few days for you to critique. Glad you like the footnoting. It's a nice touch, isn't it? I included it specifically for you, because you are one tough editor. High praise, btw. If you can't stand the heat, then don't run with scissors. allie 22:37, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
List/CategoryHaving the list be a part of the category is wrong. Someone needs to fix this so that rather than a broken idiom we have a cognitively intuitive structure. Blair P. Houghton 20:03, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Svislach RiverYou have reinserted the expression "a right tributary" into this article. What do you intend this to mean? The true (or proper) tributary, on the right-hand side while going upstream, on the right-hand side while going downstream, the tributary that flows west, something else? Rmhermen 14:56, Jan 21, 2005 (UTC)
Studebaker Lark PictureSir/Madam- You posted: "For Image:Studebakerlark.jpg, you have claimed that the copyright holder released this image into public domain. Why do you believe this to be the case? Did you create the image? It is certainly not old enough to be copyright expired. Rmhermen 01:10, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)" I guess that I have made a mistake - the image is from a 1959 magazine article run by a company that is out of the car making business. Can you make a constructive suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated. user: stude62 01:19, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC) Catholic VersesThe Miscellania section is about other correlations. It should be alright to show that there is more verses in the Bible to support the conviction. I did not put into the body of the text but in the Miscellania section. It is alright to do so because I would like to put them back in. Thanks. WHEELER 23:05, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC) DresdenMy edits about dresden are legitimate - many people think that was a war crime. That does not justify the reverts. are you user 151.203.229.38 ? you admitted at this page you edit anonimously. -MarkSop
ok, thanks. the user 151.203.229.38 has broken the 3 revert rule - he has said that he can do that since my edits were vandalism, and has insulted me repeatedly by saying that. I think my edits were perfectly ok - i simply put back one of the sections from history of the site, which was not marked as vandalism at the time. what sanctions is he going to undergo for breaking the 3 revert rule, that you pointed to me? the rule should hold for all, and i have respected it. also, if the rule says that it can be broken for vandalism, who decides what is a vandalism. I surely dont think that my edits were vandalism, just merely a different opinion (held by many people as it seems, and wikipedia does say that views should be reported). I feel very abused, and suspect that 151 behaves in this way to other people who he disagrees with - who is going to warn him about that? calling someone a vandal is very insultive!! you reverted my edit on Roma, (people) articlehi there Rmhermen, i'd like you to explain the reasons you reverted my edit on Roma people article -- Criztu 14:45, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Reversion explanation request: U.S. National Park / List of U.S. national parksYesterday, I suggested (via merge/mergefrom) that the stub article U.S. National Park be folded into List of U.S. national parks. You chose to revert these changes. May I ask why? This is the first reversion I've suffered in over 400 contributions as a Wikipedian. Is there some policy I've run over here to keep topics and lists seperate? Or is there some reason why we are keeping a ridiculously stubby article with little prospects for expansion?

Check http://www.phouka.com/pharaoh/pharaoh/dynasties/dyn19/05amenmessu.html - it contains almost exactly the same information, so cant really be a copyright violation. but if you feel so, then delete it Lincolnshire Poacher
No, you miss my point - there is very little know about this guy, so the limitation is how you present limited info in a logical fashion without repeating someone else. Also the egyptian site contains a lot more, whereas I have presented the bare facts.
Well, we'll have to disagree, my sources included a uni textbook. Tell u what, ill not bother anymore, and ill delete all my contributions to date, enjoy your combat with the rest of the contributors, asshole. Are you normally this rude to newcomers?? Cartographer requiredI saw you listed on the cartographers' list and wondered if you would be able to help me out. I've been working on Aramaic language (currently in peer review, but soon up for FAC), and it was suggested that it would be good to have one or two maps showing the distribution of Aramaic at different periods of history. Is this your kind of thing at all?

Re: AsteroidI translated the French article from . One of the things I noticed that was missing from the English article is a notable asteroid section. The other are the images, which are not present. If you notice, the information may be the same, it is just that the French article is slightly more detailed. My suggestion of merging was that I see the French article is a Featured article and the English article is not. The objections that may be raised is the layout of the article, and being too brief in certain areas where the French article is not. If you look closely, their section of "The discovery of the first asteroids" is more detailed than the English history section, with minor information missing. -- AllyUnion (talk) 13:40, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC) Chicago mapsDon't worry; I've got you covered - Image:Chicago all levels.png.

Calcutta -> Kolkata name changeHi there. I noticed you voted in the Wikipedia:Naming policy poll to keep the Wikipedia policy of naming an article with the most familiar English name. You may not be aware that another attempt has begun to rename the Calcutta article to Kolkata, which is blatantly not the most common name of the city, whether it's official or not. If you want to vote on the issue you can do so at Talk:Calcutta. Cheers. -- Necrothesp 14:02, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC) MaizeHi Rmhermen, I'm not really sure what your problem with the image placement on the maize article is. A couple of points though; its considered bad form to use the admin revert on changes which are not vandalism, largely because it gives no explanation. Also are you aware that one of those photos is a featured picture. -- Solipsist 07:36, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Certain users suggested that the word "River" should be omitted from the title. Currently the discussion is held at User talk:Markussep#River naming, but it will hopefully be moved to soon. Thank you for your attention.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 21:10, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC) Re User:maleldilPer your recommendation I've moved content from Wikipedia:maleldil to User:maleldil. Sorry for the mistake. As I learn and / or earn my way in the wiki universe (wikiverse?) I will try stay in line. As you know, there are a lot of ways to do many things and newbies will be newbies. Thanks for any guidance anyone provides. I have looked at the tutorial pages but there's a lot to learn! Again, thanks. Maleldil 23:52, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC) Virginia State Highway 5I was glad to see your improvements to this article. Some images and/or a map would be nice, if these are in your field of interests. Thanks.

Regarding the Chomsky reference in chemical warfare, the bits I used were specifically from page 2 of Chomsky's speech. I used it in Chemical warfare in the interwar years, specifically the information about Churchill's enthusiasm to use chemical weapons in response to a revolt in Mesopotamia in 1920 (which was never executed for various reasons), and the suppression of that order until about 25 years ago. The purpose of that information is to highlight the contrasting opinions of "the people" and some in govenment during that period. Hope this helps. – ClockworkSoul 14:20, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
CW's in suppressing rebellions; BolsheviksI found a resource that appearsd to be well cited and researched that may be exactly what you're looking for: Monterey Institute of Internation Studies: Chronology of State Use and Biological and Chemical Weapons Control. Here is a copy and paste of a relevant section (note that it offers a reference supporting a British use of adamsite (not mustard gas) against the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War):
Again, I hope that you find this useful. FormattingAh, okay... I'm using Firefox v1.0. Right justified looks like it's supposed to (simply a right-justified table). Centered places the table on the left, with the caption centered (a bit odd, but at least visible). I reverted back to your change, opting for the lesser of two evils. – ClockworkSoul 17:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC) Protected areasWhy have you moved all the categories for national parks from National parks by country to protected areas by country? I can't find any justification for it in the discussion. Protected areas are a larger category. National parks are a subcategory of protected areas, not synonymous with it. Look at Category:Protected areas of the United States where national parks are one single entry out of many types. Rmhermen 06:18, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
could you state what you want? regards Tobias Conradi 23:01, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC) Illinois TollwayHello. I'm new to Wikipedia so please excuse me if I violate any community protocols. Did you remove my first draft article on the Illinois Tollway for purported copyright violations? If so, please note that the material is largely drawn from an SEC filing called an "Official Statement" that the Tollway issued when it sold bonds in 1998. This is the document that the Tollway, under penalty of law, submits to bondholders describing itself and its finances. It as accurate a source as it gets. The Tollway apparently has used some of the same language in later public documents, namely, its CAFR filing that it submits each year to the bond trustee and others. CAFR filings are public documents as well and not protected by any copyright. In sum, the information is both reliable and clearly in the public domain. There is no, repeat no, possible copyright infringement issue. How can I get the entry restored to good graces so I can work it up? Thanks.
Thanks. I did edit and add some rewrites from the source material. Can I continue to work on what I posted to make it more fully "mine"? The idea was to get something posted to allow myself and others to start working away on it. Please advise is I have to post from scratch or can edit what is there. Thanks. survival suitsHi, I'm fairly new to Wikipedia. Okay, very new! I've had an account for a long time but I have only just started contributing a few things. I noticed that you replaced some of the text in Personal flotation device that referred to survival suits . To my knowledge, survival suits are not considered PFDs by the U.S. Coast Guard. May I ask where you found the information that indicated survival suits are indeed counted as PFDs? Thanks! -Etoile 13:51, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I would like to point out that the primary purpose of survival suits is not actually flotation. Some do have added flotation - Mustang Survival makes some with and some without - but their primary purpose is more insulation during cold water immersion. In any case, I suppose it's not an important enough point to argue, and you're right that it should not be a US-centric article. Thank you for your feedback. -Etoile 16:33, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC) Computer problemI just noticed your query on the Reference Desk. In case it's still an issue, I can tell you that I had that problem and it was indeed heat. Although the fan was turning, either it wasn't at full strength or there was something else wrong with the cooling system. The shop that does warranty repairs told me they replaced the cooling system; the problem ended. For diagnosis: Along with checking to see whether the fan is exhausting air, touch the casing and see whether you can feel any hot spots. I found that holding an ice pack against the computer at the hot point would let it run much longer before shutting down, but, on balance, I think fixing or replacing the cooling system is a more elegant solution. :) JamesMLane 05:32, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC) You have been nominated for adminship at Wikiquote
Devil's LakeThere is an article naming dispute over Devil's Lake. I am of the opinion that Devil's Lake should redirect to Devil's Lake (North Dakota), while another editor, DreamGuy, prefers to have Devil's Lake point to a disambiguation page. Since you have edited the article, I would appreciate your comments on this matter at Talk:Devil's Lake (North Dakota). Thank you. --Alexwcovington (talk) 05:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) ZurichZürich has been nominated on Wikipedia:Requested moves for a page move to Zurich.

Bush as an honorary brother?
I am glad to see you working on this article. I had emailed the national office regarding the difficulty of finding a larger verified list of notable alumni but got no response. Rmhermen 14:13, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC) I am quite willing to do a separate list for Notable Alumni and Notable Honorary Brothers (They are brothers, the only two membership types that are members as opposed to being brothers are Pledge Membership and Petitioning Membership. As far as I know, every President of the United States from Truman to GHWB was made an honorary brother at one time or another. However the only ones where I have chapters are GHWB and JFK. Are you an Alpha Phi Omega alumnus? Naraht 15:25, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I haven't reverted him but I have added hectares back in. Thincat 13:04, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) Black DeathI've taken your comments on the exclusive European perspective to heart and made a beginning at restructuring the article. From what I had at hand, I added information on the Middle Eastern outbreak, and a little more about China, but I have no information on India. Some additional information about social/political consequences in eastern areas of the world is available. I'll try and weave that in. Would you look over the edit? Comments welcome.

Category:National parksWhy is this being deleted again? Surely the vote was to move from National parks by country to National park not the other way around. Rmhermen 17:22, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
Ford Model A imageOops, nice catch! I got it from the Library of Congress, where the license was phrased differently. --SFoskett 03:53, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC) Catawba Grape --> Vitis labrusca redirectIt's entirely appropriate in my opinion. Have a look at Grape. Notice the long list of latin names for the various varieties of grapes. Why do you think the redirection is NOT appropriate? --Gcashman 04:00, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
