Czolgolz (talk) 17:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Hey, thanks! You too! I enjoy watching these missions so much, it is sad they don't get more mainstream television coverage!

So this user did something wrong. Toothy the beaver (talk) 04:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC) You are blanking another editor's talk page. You cannot simply archive someone else's talk page without permission. If they want it archived, they can do so, it is not your choice to do it without their permission. That editor has reverted your edits multiple times and you have been warned about archiving other people's talk pages. Please stop. If an editor reverted an edit of yours, it is not appropriate to "get revenge" by blanking their talk page. Ariel♥Gold 05:02, 24 May 2009 (UTC) STS-125 ground tracking Ooooops.... I forgot, so jazzed i found the pics, spaced it out. LanceBarber (talk) 15:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Hee hee, no biggie, I just didn't want them tagged! Ariel♥Gold 15:42, 24 May 2009 (UTC) done, lol !! LanceBarber (talk) 15:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Sweet, thanks! Ariel♥Gold 15:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC) wave vs. waive I 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) Ping It regards what we discussed a few months ago. :) Enigmamsg 07:01, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Ding! Replied ;) Ariel♥Gold 07:36, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Good chuckle Not a problem. I'm glad a good laugh ended your day. (:--The Legendary Sky Attacker 09:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC) Neapolitan articles After 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) There's no need to stop editing, Casa, just because the one subject doesn't have references, there are millions of articles out there that references abound for! :) Presenting language online is a difficult thing, to be sure, but there's no reason to delete anything, if you can improve the Neapolitan language article at all with your knowledge of the language, that would be great! Ariel♥Gold 17:58, 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)
