It isn't an issue of whether those characters are different enough from the norm as there really is no norm. The term anti-hero has been applied to a wide range of fictional characters for very different reasons. If we started coming up with and differentiating types based on individual characters' motives we'd have a huge mess of an article since most of the characters are identified as anti-heroes for different reasons. I don't disagree with the logic of your addition, I just think that it's too specific and detailed to benefit the article and would set a precedent for other, equally specific and lengthy additions. If we began listing how every anti-hero fit the definition of anti-hero the article would become far too long and unmaintainable. It's just that with a tricky term like this conciseness and clarity seems better than going in depth into specific examples. Maybe you could try something shorter and more succint while avoiding being redundant and merely adding another example? --TM 02:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
I went ahead and renamed encapsulation (pharmacology) to capsule (pharmacy) partially on the basis of your support on the talk page. MaxEnt (talk) 22:33, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I see you're having a go at changing 'women writers' to 'female writers' in article titles and category names. I don't have strong feelings about this, but there are quite a few changes to be made in order to carry this out thoroughly! In case you run the risk of making a change which others will feel strongly about (though I see no one responded to your raising this at Category talk:Women writers), I've mentioned it at the talk page of User:scribblingwoman, who's been involved with several of these pages.

A tag has been placed on Category:Australian female writers, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add ((hangon))
on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:Category:Australian female writers|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ⇒ bsnowball 07:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
re the above, please go about major changes such as this through the appropriate process. & please think about whether it's necessary at all before you do so. there's been a lot of boring going around in circles discussion about these cats at cfd in the past :) thx ben ⇒ bsnowball 07:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
...for your support in trying to make out of Uruguay a good article. It's a featured article on the German wikipedia. I wonder if it would be the same here someday. Greetings, --Góngora (Talk) 01:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Matthew Proctor,
I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".
Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.
What you can do now:

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read this message.
As you may know, the United Kingdom Supreme Court has been hearing cases for about 18 months now, taking over from the House of Lords as the Court of Last Resort for most appeals within the United Kingdom.
During that time, the court has handed down 87 judgements (82 of which were on substantive appeals). Wikipedia covers around 11 of these and rarely in any detail. Some very important cases (including Radmacher v Granatino [2010] UKSC 42 (prenups) and Norris v USA [2010] UKSC 9 (extradition)) are not covered at all.
I'm proposing a drive to complete decent quality articles for all, or at least a good proportion of these cases as soon as possible. If we can eliminate the backlog then a small group of editors might want to stick around to ensure articles are created relatively speedily for new cases. Since the Court process, on average, one case a week this shouldn't be too great a task.
I'd like to ask you to help with this drive, and help make Wikipedia a credible source for UKSC case notes.
How you can help

I was going to object to placing an image on Drop Bears (under the theory that we don't need to encourage Drop Bear fans to insist they are real), but that image has sufficiently obvious image manipulation that it's a net plus to the article. Thanks, Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 01:49, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
I have performed the move. That has left a large number of double redirects, but a bot should fix those within hours. I will check tomorrow that it has. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:42, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Just a quick check-in cuz busy with study for boards. Wanted to give you a heartfelt thanks for your editorial work on the Schizoaffective page. You're absolutely right: it contained too much repetition (from working on the page while trying to browbeat its contents into my first- & second-year residents). Really appreciate your contributions. Thorough, accurate & helpful. Thanks!! Youtalkfunny (talk) 18:58, 6 November 2013 (UTC) |
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited History of birth control, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tyrol (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Politics of Germany may have broken the syntax by modifying 4 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Donatus Magnus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Libyan language.

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
