archive request for comments on current events hello fsotrain i'm trying to get some discussion going on two proposals regarding the current events page but so far have gotten little to no response since you have recently edited the current events page i'm asking for your input on these two proposals one proposal this is the big one involves putting the daily events from the current events pages into article templates a l the monthly pages from to as well and having a consistent number of recent days on the current events page instead of a monthly archive this would allow for the current events page and the respective month pages to be updated simultaneously without the monthly archival for more see the current events talk page another proposal involves merging the content of the regional current events pages such as british and irish current events and canadian current events into fewer continental articles for more see the current events wikiproject talk page your input on one or both of these issues would be appreciated joturner edit nation building hiya you contributed to the nation building article i've just flagged up what i think are a bunch of problems with the article and would welcome your input cheers vizjim edit spam spam spam i certainly hope you don't eat only spam jam and ham you'd have scurvy and all sorts of other nasty things does giving you nutritional advice count as somthing fsotrain don't worry i occasionally indulge in lobster thermidor a crevette with mornay sauce served in a provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam s abhorreo i edit guantanamo detainee thanks for the suggestion i have been wondering how to organize the data the dod and the washington post lists tried to shoehorn the names into the english style first name and last name format it didn't work very well because names can have so many different transliterations and some nations like yemen have areas where people can have a tribal name that looks like a surname to us maybe sorting them by first name within nationalities would be better i'll work on it geo swan edit afds hey there i seem to be right behind you on new page patrol tonight and have come across a couple of afds you have started on a couple of pages you might want to consider tagging articles like julie ju with a speedy deletion tag to save the trouble of taking them to afd when they're quite obviously nonsense or non notable i've also noticed several articles where you haven't finished the afd process don't know if you're going to get to that or not but thought i'd remind you cheers tony fox edit translation requested hi i noticed that you are versed in arabic i'm trying to figure out what talk contribs this user is trying to say on islam related pages and my talk page i've been able to translates some of the words but i'm not unclear on the intended meaning thanks ohnoitsjamietalk edit bribe the ghost hey just a friendly reminder to be sure to use an edit summary that says prod when you propose an article for deletion it's always good to use edit summaries of course but it's especially helpful for proposed deletion because prod tags are not supposed to be re added once they are removed and the easiest way to tell if a prod tag was previously placed on an article is to look at the edit history also in this case i marked the article for speedy deletion when it applies speedy deletion is better than prod because it requires less attention i left the prod tag there though just in case anyone denies the speedy deletion which i doubt will happen anyway thanks just letting you know mangojuicetalk edit pije ocet yes you are correct i googled for a bit after i saw your change and it looks like it is polish i found a free online polish translator kinda like babelfish and put in the text just to see what it was about the translation wasn't very helpful something about vinegar i'm going out on a limb and assuming that it is about some kind of wine but even so the fact that the article ends in aahahahahahaha makes me very skeptical that there is any meaningful content that's pretty universal bigdt edit warning users hi i noticed that you've been warning some
