Halt! Stop it immediately.Dude, stop deleting my message. The user reverted one of my edits here, and was not realizing it WAS constructive. So this user did something wrong. Toothy the beaver (talk) 04:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

wave vs. waiveI won't quibble with you. My complaint wasn't with the word "waive" but with the phrase "waive off". That is, I think, a misuse of "waive" and that "wave" was better. Your reference, although it allowed the phrase, indicated it was influenced by "wave". If "waive off" is coming into use (I hadn't seen it before), I won't stand in the way of progress. The only injury to my pride was that you indicated that "wave off" was incorrect. It's not. Admittedly, the use of the phrase is more obvious on an aircraft carrier (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/glossarytermsw/g/w6770.htm), but any time an aircraft (or, in this case, a spacecraft) is ordered to "go around again" rather than landing, it has been figuratively, if not literally, waved off. Thanks for the comment, though. Paul D. Anderson (talk) 05:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC) PingIt regards what we discussed a few months ago. :) Enigmamsg 07:01, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Good chuckleNot a problem. I'm glad a good laugh ended your day. (:--The Legendary Sky Attacker 09:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Neapolitan articlesAfter thinking about what you said, I've decided that Wikipedia probably isn't the place for what I was trying to present. It is mostly the issue of references as they just don't really exist... at least not in English. In fact, they don't even exist in Neapolitan. The only Neapolitan grammars I have ever been able to find are written in Italian. What I wrote was based on two works: ’A lengua ’e Pulecenella by Carlo Iandolo (an Italian work despite the Neapolitan title) and Il napoletano parlato e scritto by Nicola De Blasi and Luigi Imperatore, but is much more than just a translation. But now I can't delete some of the articles I wrote, because their urls have been changed to redirect to the Neapolitan language page. I will however delete the article on Neapolitan articles and remove the references I put in Neapolitan language to point to them. I apologize for any trouble I've put you to, and will now retire from Wikipedia. --Casaerwin (talk) 14:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
With the redirection of two of my pages to the Neapolitan language page two-thirds of the work I had completed has been lost and I don't know how to recover it. That represented quite a few hours of work for me, and I don't want to have to deal with that sort of thing. I've decided to put my work on my own web site as soon as I can acquire a new domain for it.--Casaerwin (talk) 20:26, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
OK, that wasn't so bad. I have merged all three of those articles into the Neapolitan language article under the heading of Neapolitan Grammar. Now I will begin work on the other sections. Is there a way to save unfinished work without publishing it? I was thinking possibly of making it all a comment, then removing the comment tags after it's finished unless there is a better way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casaerwin (talk • contribs) 19:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
