Publius, I am more than happy to mail the copies I have of articles related to Dubeldeka. I have also seen (but do not have a copy) of the letter from the govenor General. Alternatively, you could e-mail Prince Vasudeo yourself and verify the existence of this micronation. Please let me know what works. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 140.247.85.118 (talk) 18:20, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

PubliusFL, You recently removed an entry for the Principality of Dubeldeka in the Micronation entry. I wanted to let you know that although there are no google hits for this, I in fact do have photocopies of several newspaper articles outlining the establishment of the principality, as well as report from friends in Sydney that the micronation was covered on the local news. I went ahead and returned the entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 140.247.85.118 (talk)

Hello, thanks for stepping in at the article we're working on. I wanted to ask if you know where I might report a certain user's behavior. They have created a top-level header with my username which reads like a tabloid, and while they managed to convey a point, they peppered it with personal insults and name-calling. Can you help? I found the etiquette alert page user to be less-than-helpful. Joie de Vivre 22:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi PubliusFL, you've recently edited the article Foreign influence on Chinese martial arts. I have a concern about the early history section. Could you please visit the talk page and provide some feedback? Thanks. Shawnc 18:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Nice edits to the Taj debate. I wonder though, if you wouldn't mind, stepping back for a few days and resisting the urge to refute all pro-oak assetions as they spring up. It will be a more effective (and efficient) argument to refute them en-masse; and with some space they may receive enough rope to do it themselves. Bakaman for instance, by saying "Whatever his other theories are, this one is quite plausible" has already pissed on his chips by implying Oak is an otherwise unreliable source. No further argument of logic is necessary.--Joopercoopers 23:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking another look at Porch collapse. It seems to happen more often than "Floor collapse," and "Roof collapse" (in snow country) is probably intermediate in frequency. Coffee burns probably deserve their own article too, considering Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants. Edison 04:06, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Gemnoviag

Gemnoviag is a nation in the middle of Europe it is mensioned in the Liechtenstein Web-Site in german aka

"www.liechtenstein.li" And has close ties with the Austrian government which was mensioned once in 1958 in the Austrian news paper possibly still on record in the Austrian Database of news of past importance no website is currently known by me.. but you get the message you should look farther into your research by looking up more "worldly" information. You don't know everything and neither does Google or Yahoo or any other main search base. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Post Falls Man (talk • contribs) 20:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

Gemnoviag 2

I have just gone to the website and unfortunately I too found that the page was no longer there this is suprising to me as it was there Nov. 2006 thank you for your advice and for this article I will look for more information to decide if I re-create it or just forget about it. Thank you and I do apologize for mistrusting your judgement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Post Falls Man (talk • contribs) 00:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC).

You dont understand this Micronation buisness was on the Liechtenstein website at one point in time the city of Post Falls is my home and Gemnoviag is only a return spot from time to time in the Summer. The Principality is much like the English Monarchy the Micronation is under the main control of the Senate few decisions come to the hands of the Monarch/Prince this is not understandable unless you realize the true government system of what you must do. Post Falls is where I live no doubt and I do not deny it but I do understand that all reliable national items are in writing not on the "world wide web" a taboo has been placed over the Capitol City of Rosen to prevent this. The Holy Empire once held the area of Gemnoviag as part of the Liechtenstein Principality to hold the Empire together for as long as possible the nation offically declared the independance in 1958 again to make itself re-known by the public this is the same time that my grandfater left for Austria to discuss the allyship of each other. This is what I ment when I said the 1958 Austria meeting in your user talk page.

I apologise for any inconvenience, and by observing certain commments made by admin who have deleted the article on Ludia, authored by myself, it is clear I shouldn't have re-posted the article at anytime without further notice. In complete honesty I can truthfully state that I carelessly didn't note any wikipedean guideleines prior to this note.

Carla Martin

Let's keep an eye on the Carla Martin article. I suspect the user who keeps pasting in the resume is the subject of the article herself. The user has been awfully focused on that one article, and wiping out any mention of Carla Martin's enormous screw up. Exeunt 00:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Fetus image

You said can see the point about the model being held in the palm of a man's hand gives the image something of an emotional dimension -- a ruler would be better, but I don't know where to find an image like that. in relation to Image:Lifesize8weekfetus.JPG. I followed your advice (sort of) and I have created Image:Image-Lifesize8weekfetus-edit.JPG to include a more neutral scale and remove the controversial hand. Again, this isn't a real fetus, but would you support my edit until an even better image comes along?-Andrew c 01:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I did mean MOSCAPS

Please read what I wrote more carefully. And read MOSCAPS. There are 7 criteria in MOSCAPS that talk about all caps. The first 6 do not apply, and the 7th says to see MOS-TM. So only MOS-TM applies, not the rest of MOSCAPS. —pfahlstrom 04:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Your recent revert on Right to Bear Arms

I don't understand your reason given for your recent revert[1], "redundant addition and apparent OR"

What is redundant? And, none of that reverted was original research. Please explain. Contrary to your reason given, it appears that your revert served the purpose of advancing one of the points of view on the subject. Can we agree that this article should include a neutral balance of points of view? BruceHallman 15:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Micronation Notability

Please could you suggest just what level of action the micronation would have to take in order to be notable of mention in wikipedia? Is it the case that regardless of what the nation does (ie diplomatic letters to government, communication with media sources such as magazines or the use of unique technology) that it would not qualify as article worthy unless someone else writes a book ect.. about it?

---

Thanks for your reply to my question. Now that I know I need referable material in order to justify the creation of a Wikipedia article for a new micronation I can go about organizing "media stunts" in order to ensure someone pays attention to the micronation and hence writes about it so I can re-create the article.

Thanks, Arkore.

A page of mine was recently marked for deletion by you and was already deleted before I could read the message, I do not understand why this has happened as there are plenty of micronation pages? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NateJay (talk • contribs) 16:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

Forking micronations

Further to recent discussions concerning the Sealand / Fort Roughs articles, I'm considering a similar fork of Seborga. Currently this is a hodge-podge of information about the Italian municipality as well as the micronation which overlays it. I propose we create a new article called Seborga (municipality) about the town, and move the existing article (which is mostly about the micronation) to Principality of Seborga. --Gene_poole 00:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it would be too much of an issue to create a disambiguation page and spilt Seborga. The Italian town has an elected Mayor and it's own coat of arms - neither of which have anything to do with the micronation - which, while enjoying significant popular support, largely remains for practical purposes, a state of mind. --Gene_poole 00:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Whether or not it stays as one article or two, I think it's unacceptable for the town to be at anything other than Seborga. --kingboyk 19:29, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

conspiratorial template

Congressman Paul said: "Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don't have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there's not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn't going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on."; so you see, he does acknowledge cover-up (conspiracy if you wish)… imo that template should be named properly, feel free to join the discussion. Regards. Lovelight 00:53, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Right to Bear Arms

Good day. I have a small objection to this edit [2]. The version prior to this edit read:

A Nineteenth century Tennessee court noted that the "right to keep arms" protected a "private individual right" of the citizen, and implicitly included other rights.

And after the edit (emphasis added):

A Nineteenth century Tennessee court noted that the "right to keep and bear arms" contained in the Tennessee Constitution of 1870 protected a "private individual right" of the citizen, and implicitly included other rights.

If I may, allow me to post a section of Andrews (with emphasis added) to illustrate my objection:

What rights are guaranteed by the first clause of this Art. 26, "that the citizens have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense?" We may well look at any other clause of the same Constitution, or of the Constitution of the United States, that will serve to throw any light on the meaning of this clause. The first clause of section 24 says, "that the sure defense of a free people is a well-regulated militia." We then turn to Art. 2, of amendments to the Constitution of the United States, where we find the same principle laid down in this language: "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged." We find that, necessarily, the same rights, and for similar reasons, were being provided for and protected in both the Federal and State Constitutions; in the one, as we have shown, against infringement by the Federal Legislature, and in the other, by the Legislature of the State.

The court was, in fact, rendering their opinion of what was meant by "keep arms" based on both constitutions. Granted, they had already found that the State legislature was bound only by the Tennessee constitution, but that did not stop them from speaking their opinion on what was meant by the US constitution.

Moving down a little further:

...Bearing arms for the common defense may well be held to be a political right, or for protection and maintenance of such rights, intended to be guaranteed; but the right to keep them, with all that is implied fairly as an incident to this right, is a private individual right, guaranteed to the citizen, not the soldier.

Note that the phrase "private individual right" is applied against the "right to keep", not the "right to bear".

Given all this, I prefer the original version. The court was not speaking solely about the Tennessee constitution, nor did they find that the right to "keep and bear" was a "private individual right". I think the second version implies both of those points, which are incorrect. - O^O 23:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding "Exploratory" Committees

Apologies for the delay on posting this to your talk page. I assumed the template's talk page was on your watch list, and had not posted this to your own talk page.

Fictional princesses

You removed Mulan and Pocahontas from the Fictional princesses section in the Princess article and said in your edit summary:

Fictional princesses - remove non-princess and non-fictional person from fictional list)

According to Disney they are (fictional) Princess.^[3] So, what is your reason for the removal?--Sugarcubez 23:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Still they are fictional princesses, by your reasoning why not remove all of the Disney Princesses? And why list some of the other fictional Princesses were it is noted they are not a real princess i.e. Xena. I think it is better to be kept in to go with the fictional princesses section.--Sugarcubez 00:30, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Mangaria

You posted some commentary on my talk page ...

After some looking around, I agree with the notion that this is a non-notable topic. My take from Micronation is that entities like this are like virtual communities and clubs and should be treated as such. I have not seen the appearance of a micronation in a deletion process before. It is, in fact, not a hoax, but - as you point out - a non-notable social exercise using the rule set associated with establishment of a nation-state. I will, therefore, revert to the previously tagging and delete. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 20:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

You recently edited the Parker entry. If you feel there is anything inaccurate about the statement you deleted feel free to correct it. I believe it was a fair statement of an additional legal commentary on the Parker case.

Principality of Sealand

Hi there. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the ongoing discussion that's taking place at the above. A new editor who's done some really good work on micronation articles is in danger of losing perspective by trying to give equal weight to the "Sealand is a sovereign state" position, and the discussion seems to be going around in circles. --Gene_poole (talk) 02:34, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm trying to improve the article so that it is NPOV, and other editors have agreed that this is the best way to improve the article. Nobody is trying to remove the arguments for Sealandic micronation status, but as there are sources supporting Sealandic microstate status, these sources must be included in the article. The WikiProjects are NPOV, and the article should be too. Onecanadasquarebishopsgate (talk) 23:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Onecanadasquarebishopsgate has now progressed to vandalising the article by blanking properly cited content. If you could keep an eye on this and revert his changes it would be appreciated. --Gene_poole (talk) 23:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Re Interstellar travel

Hi, I am almost certain the basic material posted on the Talk:Interstellar travel#Sub light speed travel section is right, and I think well-known. I derived it myself long ago, and have expounded on it in a new section just after User_talk:71.200.127.222's (? Steve?). I also recall seeing a discussion of the special relativistic event horizon effect I mention there, re. the "perfect getaway", in Misner, Thorne, & Wheeler's classic text, and believe they go through the whole derivation. Don't remember how long it has been known, but over 30 years at least, if it is really there where I think I saw it, as the book came out around 1974. I am still slightly a newbie here, or maybe just slow to learn, but I haven't really studied the Interstellar travel article yet. I do think some mention of this curious fact is warranted, though it is only one step towards a solution, a piece in the larger jigsaw puzzle. Best, Wwheaton (talk) 08:17, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

You're right that the anniversary is referred to as the "golden anniversary," but the list is a list of gifts, not a list of names for the various anniversaries. You can give someone a gift of gold, but you can't give someone golden, because golden is an adjective not a noun. PubliusFL 17:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

While you cannot give golden, you can surely give a gift that is "golden". While this inevitably includes gold, the imaginative among us might also think of gifts such as a Golden Car, a Golden Retriever a romantic day trip on Golden Pond or even a Golden Goose!!.
