Dorner Manifesto[edit]
The Dormer Manifesto is so well cited and very notable. The article quality ifs crap right now, I agree. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bamler2 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
List of massacres in Turkey[edit]
Hello, I am writing this to you in order to inform you that some Turkish-related articles have for quite some time been hijacked by a group of editors whose only goal, it seems, is to negatively portray the Republic of Turkey, its predesseccors and its people as warmongerming murderers. This has especially become a problem in the article of List of massacres in Turkey where they only allow information about Turks killing others, and delete all reliabely sourced information about massacres against Turks/Muslims. By doing WP:OR, discrediting sources and authors, source falsification, distortion and tag bombing.
Sources which state the number of Muslims casualties during the Greco-Turkish war is persistently being deleted.
Your help is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.178.77.28 (talk) 20:23, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Trailing zero[edit]
Hi Lambiam,
I'm contacting you with regards to an edit you made to the Trailing zero article in 2008 (see here) which left a broken syntax equation that has not been fixed yet. I'd fix it myself but I'm not sure what you were aiming at and before simply removing the content I thought I'd ask you to see if you'd be willing to fix it yourself. Thanks a lot. Regards. Gaba (talk) 17:19, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
An AfD you may be interested in...[edit]
Hello Lambiam,
I noticed that you had concerns for the Lifestyle of the Ottoman Empire article way back in 2007. I want to say that I was in the same boat as you. I nominated it for deletion here. Just to let you know. Thanks, Étienne Dolet (talk) 04:30, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Conway criterion[edit]
Hi Lambiam - Thank you for fixing my blunder in Conway criterion. What was I thinking? One of the existing references sufficed to supply the needed citation but I am researching more examples to cite.--Foobarnix (talk) 16:54, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Eric Burns (communications professional)[edit]
The article Eric Burns (communications professional) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Sources include brief mentions, quotes, blogs, broken links; nothing remotely close to verifying that he qualifies for a Wikipedia page.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. CorporateM (Talk) 04:02, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Nomination of Eric Burns (communications professional) for deletion[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Eric Burns (communications professional) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Burns (communications professional) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. CorporateM (Talk) 20:03, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Who discovered America? listed at Redirects for discussion[edit]
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Who discovered America?. Since you had some involvement with the Who discovered America? redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. GZWDer (talk) 05:21, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Your 12 words copied without attribution in the same thread[edit]
I have quoted 12 of your words - including a link you have provided - without quoting you. My quote was later in the discussion of the same thread. Do you want me to go back and attribute the quote to you? Burst of unj (talk) 08:11, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
- Nah. It should be obvious to anyone reading the thread attentively that these words are copied, and the whole thing is moot anyway (see my latest contribution there). --Lambiam 10:25, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Mostly your words[edit]
I have added to the Alan Kurdi article, "Previously, around 5 am authorities started an investigation, after an emergency call had come in that a boat had capsized and lifeless bodies were coming ashore". The words are mostly yours, and the reference was obtained by you. Thank you. --Burst of unj (talk) 20:00, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
