message: Hello, this message is in response to the deletion of material on this wikipage.
I was wondering if you would want to start a group on wikipedia which counters the heavy handed tactics of the copyright police.  I can't fight them on my own.  User talk:Ed g2s has began deleting fair use image on every person's user page and on several other pages, inspired by WP:FUC which was written by another paternal copyright policeman with absolutly no legal training and little understanding of copyright law.

Talk:Brass Monkey (cocktail)

message: I heard they (Bitchy Boys) also would add a frozen lemonade Popsicle instead of ice.  can't remember the reference.
* Dark rum such as Black Seal should be used in the drink recipe as opposed to the previously suggested light rum. Dark rum is used because mixing the dark rum with the orange juice produces the distinct 'brass' coloration that gives this drink it's name.

thread_title:  New Information 

message: Anyone seriously interested in improving the article should consider adding some real world related info, e.g. regarding the concept, creation, and/or function of the character within the Star Wars narrative etc. Please consult our writing about fiction guideline, which also includes a list of exemplary articles.
There are currently three featured articles on Star Wars characters: Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, and Jabba the Hutt. What sets them aside from most of the other SW character articles is the effort to write from the real world perspective. Pay particular attention to paragraphs like Jabba the Hutt#Concept and creation, Palpatine#Concept and creation, and Padmé Amidala#Characterization.
Also take a look at Darth Vader, which despite its lack of reliable, published third-party secondary sources features interesting sections on e.g. #Character creation and concepts and Darth Vader as a #Cultural figure.
Even though reliable sources may be tough to come up with, any effort to introduce coherently written real world aspects will be greatly appreciated, because it contributes to the depth of the article and accurate coverage of the topic, and thereby makes for an improved reading experience and increases the encyclopedic value of the article.

Talk:Secondary boycott

message: I merged in stub from Secondary boycotts ...
:Secondary boycotts are a trade maneuver in which a party or alliance of parties refuse to deal with specific parties trading with a third party.  This permits the boycotting party to punish anyone doing business with the third party, with the aim of harming the third party by denying it trade opportunities.  An example would be where US manufacturers of a specific electronic part refuse to do business with a chain of stores selling the same part made by an overseas maker.  If they control sufficient supply, the alliance can limit the market opportunities of their competition and cause consumers to pay higher prices.  A second example is a labor union preventing a non-union manufacturer from selling products to parties who do business with union manufacturers.
:This type of behavior is often illegal in many countries.  In the U.S. it is banned by the interpretation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and by sections 45D to 45E of the Trade Practices Act.

It's silly to have an "Argentine rock" category and an "Argentine rock music groups" category:

Whilst Attaque 77, Boom boom kid, Carajo, Catupecu Machu, Dios, Divididos, Fun people, Memphis La Blusera, etc are listed as Argentine rock music groups... it doesn't make much sense.
The only problem for uniting both categories is that Argentine rock features some bands and some albums... whilst Argentine rock music groups features only bands.
So maybe there should be a single category for groups and a signle category for albums... or something like that... Kzwleh 14:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Kzwleh. It is actually not redundant. Argentine rock includes things like: Bands, Musicians, Albums, Movements, Concerts, etc. The fact is that currently, of those I just named, only the bands have their own category, but that is bound to change sometime in the future. When tagging an article, use the most descriptive category. That means that bands tagged as :Category:Argentine rock should be re-tagged as :Category:Argentine rock music groups.

For a short encyclopedia article on NHEJ, I don't know if there really needs to be a major expansion on the section about Artemis.  A couple more sentences and other references wouldn't hurt though.  I could see a longer discussion on Artemis fitting in better in the article on V(D)J recombination, which is currently outdated and doesn't even mention Artemis.

thread_title: Shifted index

message: In connexion with the sentence "In general the abscissa of convergence of a Dirichlet series is the intercept on the real axis of the vertical line in the complex plane, such that there is convergence to the right of it, and divergence to the left" User:LokiClock put a "clarification needed" tag and asks "How do any of them converge absolutely on one half-plane, uniformly on the other if they all diverge to the left of the abscissa?" Well, it's not saying that it converges absolutely on one half-plane and uniformly on the other. It's just saying that you have convergence on the right and divergence on the left. It goes on to say that the planes of absolute convergence and of uniform convergence may be different, but both of these will be on the right. For the Riemann zeta function (or series), one has absolute convergence so long as Re(s)>1, but the convergence is not uniform in this half-plane. It seems to me that convergence is uniform in any half-plane Re(s) ≥ b > 1, but none of those includes all other half-planes of uniform convergence, so one cannot talk about the half-plane of uniform convergence.
