Christie Talks Bipartisanship in Washington: A Tryout for Tampa?
In front of a standing-room-only audience, the blunt style of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie went over big at the Brookings Institute in Washington on Monday.
He had a short answer for one audience member who asked Christie if he would support more federal aid to the states to help bolster local governments who have suffered during the Great Recession: Thanks, but no thanks.
"The fact of the matter is, I have more government employees per square mile than any state in America," Christie said. "Please don't send me any money to hire any more public employees. I don't need anymore. They are extraordinarily expensive and extraordinarily difficult to manage."
Instead, Christie painted the picture of a Garden State on the economic rebound with private sector job creation on the upswing. He said that 85,000 private sector jobs created since he's been in office.
This exchange characterized Christie's trip to Brookings - his speech was billed as an opportunity for the governor to describe how he has used a bipartisan approach to restoring the state's 'fiscal integrity and accountability.'
Christie told the audience about his battle with the state's teachers union, the New Jersey Education Association, throughout the first two years of his term. He said they had spent millions on an ad campaign blasting Christie tenure's reform plan. He says he stood his ground.
He also credited New Jersey's Democratic Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Shelia Oliver with helping him achieve a number of priorities. On his list: Public employee pension reform, a major reorganization of the state's system of higher education and a rewriting of the state's teacher tenure law, which Christie said restores accountability to the state's public education system.
"Guess what happened? The teachers union came to the table and we negotiated New Jersey's tenure law, which is over a hundred years old," he said. "We are putting accountability back into the system."
Christie contrasted the "progress" he and reform-minded Democrats have made in New Jersey using "principled compromise" with a Federal government mired in partisan gridlock.
"Hopefully this infection of compromise will eventually spread here," he said, referring to Washington D.C. "I am not nearly as hopeful of that as I am that it will spread to the states."
Christie said the time was long past for the country's political leaders to be honest with the American people about the nation's fiscal situation.
"You can't lead by being a mystery . You can't lead by being an enigma. you can't lead by being aloof. You can't lead being programmed. You have to lead by being yourself and who you are. And than people will trust you. And when they trust you they will follow you."
Back in New Jersey, Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald dismissed Christie's Brookings appearance as "his Tampa Try-Out Tour." Greenwald said there was more to the New Jersey story than Christie presented.
"Property taxes that are now a net $7,519, compared to $6,244 in 2009, a 20 percent increase since Christie took office," Greenwald wrote in a statement. "New Jerseyans are suffering under Gov. Christie's policies, yet he seems more interested in auditioning for another job. The governor's attention needs to be on middle-class tax relief and fixing the policies that have hurt New Jersey's middle-class, not on his personal ambitions."

October – Economic and Community Development
Congratulations to Cedarburg-Grafton Rotary which celebrates its 50th Anniversary on October 18, 2015.
Thank you to all District 6270 clubs who welcomed me over the past 3 months. My last visit was Two Rivers Rotary on September 28th. I've driven roads I didn't know existed and asked myself a few times 'where am I?' I liked hearing about your clubs, the areas you service and the countless projects you do locally and internationally. Your long time members have a rich history in their clubs and communities. Your new members know they can and will make a difference. Every member of every club has value and worth. Every club has its own dynamic, strengths and challenges. You are a strong, visible force in your communities. I smile when I see a 'Rotary Meets Here' sign or community boards with the service organization logos proudly displayed. You are all a gift to the world. I will miss the visits, but I just might pop back in sometime for the fun of it.

Why Mitchell Field Rotary Supports the MATC Promise
Be a gift to the world. That is this year's Rotary theme and a personal goal for many of us. Recently, the Mitchell Field Rotary Club learned about the MATC Promise from Christine McGee, the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) Foundation executive director. The MATC Promise offers Rotarians and others a chance to make a true difference in the lives of students. The effort is a perfect fit for Rotary since it involves both helping to raise funds for low-income students and the opportunity to mentor students to ensure their academic and career success.

Update From Samantha, 2015-16 Outbound Exchange Student
The following is a blog post by Samantha, a 2015-2016 outbound exchange student in Thailand and sponsored by the Rotary Club of Racine.
Throughout my entire four years of high school, I had cello lessons every Wednesday. I would grab my cello, drive to my teacher's house, lug the heavy instrument up a small flight of stairs, and play for a half hour with my teacher. This was my routine. This routine kept me grounded and gave me stability, as all routine does, but it also was useful as a measurement of time passing.
Time is such a strange thing. As humans, we mark the passing of time to give us the illusion of control over it, but truly, we cannot control the passing time. Metaphorically, the clock keeps turning whether we like or not, and literally, if we turn the clock off, time keeps passing. Turning off the clock doesn't pause the world. The older I get, the more keenly aware this fact seems to me. For example, as the last weeks of my summer were rolling to a close, and it was time for me to say goodbye to everyone before I headed off to Thailand, I wanted to stop the clock and savor those moments for just a little longer than I had, but, inevitably, I could not stop time. Those moments seemed to go faster than any before, although I realize the impossibility of a time going faster than one second at a time. Moreover, there truly are no short weeks. There are no quick minutes. That test didn't take up the longest hour of your life; it was just an hour. Logically, I know this. I understand that time is a social construct, and I know that one week is not truly any shorter or longer than the next, yet somehow it seems this way.

For most rappers putting together a dope track takes blood, sweat and tears, but for Omar Aura, that sh*t is just Automatic. For his new street single the Fresno representer and frequent Fashawn collaborator channels his inner Too $hort, letting the men of the world know they shouldn't leave their girl along around him. Producer Stantastic throws down a thoroughly west-coast beat, making sure to include plenty of bass and slap. From there Aura knows what to do, laying down line after line that serves as a testament to just how Automatically the hustling life comes to him. Much more music to ride to awaits listeners on Aura's upcoming Auradon Sessions 2: Players Only album, which is still awaiting a release date.

William Faber became a tax accountant like his father and resolved himself to a life where nothing much ever changed. At least until the beautiful Anna walked in one day and mistook his office for the therapist's down the hall. Unsolicited, Anna begins to reveal intimate details of her life which include how she is seeking security by attempting to save her tumultuous marriage. William and Anna find a bond developing between them, one that only true strangers can have, even after she finds out who he really is...or is not! Masterfully directed by French film legen Patrice Leconte ("Man on the Train," "Girl on the Bridge," "The Widow of St. Pierre"), "Intimate Strangers" takes you on a journey into the depths of human relationships and shows just how intimate strangers can be.

I used to hang out at hometown drug store in 1970's checking out their fragrances (taboo, a few others) but never really liked any of them enough to save up my money for a bottle. Upon graduation from high school, I received, in the mail, a gift from a distant cousin - a floral bag with a small bottle of Cachet perfume (dab on, not spray); bottle of Cachet hand/body lotion, seems like a small Cachet powder applicator, and a bottle of Cachet bubble Bath. I was in HEAVEN! Went to college in California and got so many positive comments. I've had a difficult time finding it over the years but am happy to locate it again on FragranceX.com. Would love to get the Cachet in a dab on perfume as it was longer-lasting. The spray is okay but I have to wait longer for the "spray" part to wear off before I can smell Cachet again.

Comments about Prince Matchabelli Cachet Perfume:
I have been trying to order Cachet for months and you keep on saying out of stock. is it out of stock or are you not going to be selling it. I am getting really frustrated on it. I would like to get it but I won't pay the price that some places are trying to charge. I was paying under sixteen dollars and now they are trying to charge over double the price. That is high way robbery. I won't pay that. I will look for something different. Very disappointed.

Comments about Prince Matchabelli Cachet Perfume:
The product is overall an absolute 10. I just wish it wasn't so hard to find when I run out of it. I curious as to why it's not sold in a regular perfume store. I've definitely visited quite a few looking for it and their response is always 'must be it's too old'.I immediately say in my head,'Wow, you're definitely missing out and losing customers'.That's just my opinion. Too many people always stop me and ask what I'm wearing. I don't see anyone doing that with any of the so called BIG name brands of today

Comments about Prince Matchabelli Cachet Perfume:
Been using it for at least 20 years. Since it's so reasonable in price, ocassionally I think I should try a more expensive scent. Inevitably someone always asks what scent I'm wearing because they like the smell. So I don't change from Cachet.

For many,many years this is the only perfume I have purchased. I love the nice scent, it makes me feel pretty and the compliments continue to grow. I had a hard time trying to find it because many of the stores no longer carry it, but thanks to this company I no longer have to worry about that. This scent is light, you don't over power people when they are in your company, I love it!

Speedy deletion nomination of New Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador[edit]
A tag has been placed on New Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding
{{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Rockstonetalk to me! 03:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- It was deleted, but I restored the article to a version from a few months back that was indeed salvageable. I would recceomend reading more about contributing to Wikipedia before you do any more expansion. youngamerican (wtf?) 14:44, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
You need to add a citation to a reliable, published source then. Steven Walling 00:32, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Merwin hulbert & company[edit]
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
A tag has been placed on Merwin hulbert & company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding
{{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. De728631 (talk) 17:40, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
merwin hulbert & company[edit]
anyone in support of this deletion,or any one in support of its keep,should visit the article's talk page where i give full objection,and read it in full,and see why this deletion is unreasonable,and see my requirements in case of deletion,as i would want notice with reason for deletion,and anyone in support of it's keep may gain reason to further support them,incase i am not present to defend the article,or to back me up defending it.
merwin hulbert & company deleted![edit]
my page merwin hulbert & company was deleted,so dont worry.i have ideas of somehow finding out why my objection was insufficient,and overruled.i requested that this be sent to me anyway,but has not arrived in the form of a message.i also have ideas of eventually recreating,but,due to a lack of full devotion for this young,deleted article,if i get information as to why my objection was overruled,i mayleave it be,unless i can make it better with recreation,and i see why it was deleted in full,i may notKeserman (talk) 21:52, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of reach the last days. The reason why I nominated the article for deletion was that it did not indicate the significance of this one company. Please read Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for criteria that should be met by articles on companies. And while there are of course articles on other gun companies like Smith & Wesson or Colt Firearms, I thought this one company seemed to be not significant enough, i.e. too small and unimportant for inclusion. Please note also that I didn't eventually delete the article, this was done by an administrator upon my request and after reading your objection. De728631 (talk) 21:49, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

as i am spreading on the page,soon the talk page,here,and to wikipedians i am familiar with,i admit to there being a fair amount,a soon to decrease amount,of unreferenced information,on my article new harbour,newfoundland and labrador.i have started a process to try to eliminate unreferenced information,add referenced information,and reference existing unreferenced information.this should end by july 20,2010 at least in my time zone hahahahaha,but probably july 16-18.i wish to eliminate information to sort ariving,and therefore discourage magor edits during this process.thank you for presumably helping to maximize the article's quality.Keserman (talk) 15:17, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your update, but there's no need to keep me informed about the progress. I've added a note to the article saying that it is currently being edited for several days, so that should keep overly busy cleaners away. Cheers, De728631 (talk) 16:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. De728631's tag should bring it to the attention of folks with skill and desire to help in page clean-ups. youngamerican (wtf?) 16:55, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Also, you really should check out the style guide for more on proper grammar, syntax, and punctuation for Wikipedia. youngamerican (wtf?) 11:06, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- I've done some copy-editing on the page. It is very important though that you provide a direct link to the physician's claim about brain tumors and such. Simply listing the names of websites is not sufficient. De728631 (talk) 17:48, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- The most important (and essential) thing is the provision of the reference. Formatting issues, such as hyperlinks, are useful but secondary. SpinningSpark 20:40, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Your request for editing help[edit]
I am not sure what kind of editing help you wanted. You may need to be more specific. Looking at some of your work and comments, you already seem to have realised that it is a mistake not to provide references for all of your contributions. You should also be asking yourself this question - is the information I am providing really notable? Or is it just trivial information that no one has published? I think what would be really helpful for you is to construct your next article in userspace and then ask another editor to review it before you move it to the mainspace. Doing it that way means that there is no danger of the article being deleted before you have got it into an acceptable state. One small point; I recommend that you practice writing everything in proper sentence case, even on talk pages. Text riddled with basic grammatical errors such as no capital at the beginning of sentences has people reaching for the delete button before they have even read what you have written. SpinningSpark 20:35, 15 July 2010 (UTC) well,you left me some a year+ ago,bu i'm not really certain,anything perhaps,that would be very important,like the reference in the new harbour page.if you don't know anything,just leave it alone.Keserman (talk) 11:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry if I sound harsh, but in this case you seem to be the one who still doesn't know enough about Wikipedia customs and policies, so you better not tell people to leave articles alone. Just because you edit them, they are not your personal project. De728631 (talk) 13:09, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
even the above sort of response should please be in the form of a new section.Keserman (talk) 18:12, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
De728631 (talk) 13:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
The easiest way for small articles is to put a bullet list of web sites in the References section, like
* [http://www.blabla.com Blabla website]
* [http://www.foo.org Foo]
If you'd like to add an inline reference behind a fact in the text, you can use <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabla.com |title=Blabla |publisher=John Doe}}</ref> and then place {{Reflist}} in the References section. For more info please have a look at WP:References. Cheers, De728631 (talk) 20:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Well, there's no real definition what is a small article and what is bigger, but at least a WP:Stub qualifies as small. So if there's only a few lines or two or three short sections with no dubious material that is likely to be challenged, a simple bullet list of sources is ok. Inline citations are appropriate for negative statements that may be contested and must always be given when you quote original text from a source. De728631 (talk) 20:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
New Harbour[edit]
I'd say it looks quite good now and we can leave it like it is for a while. I've only removed the hint to the department stores etc. in Dildo because that were unnecessary details. The only thing that is left open is the physician's trouble with brain tumours due to the landfill. This needs a source and the whole BLP section could do well with some more backing up. But we can leave it as is, maybe someone else can come up with sources. De728631 (talk) 20:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oops, it's getting late here too. I meant PCB as in the landfill section. De728631 (talk) 21:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
New Harbour/Merwin Hulbert[edit]
Hi Keserman, I don't think you need a special reference for the harbour island, unless there's something unusual about it. As to Merwin Hulbert, let's give it a try with some new sourcing. Cheers, De728631 (talk) 07:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Aside from rewriting the article in better English, you need to add references. What you have so far are not references - they are two external links, both of which have problems. Read WP:RS - it tells you more about sources. Read WP:N - it explains how you need to show with secondary sources that the topic of the article is notable. Decide whether the article is about the company or its product, or both, and then find those sources in books or on the web. Read WP:CITE to see how to add sources. Read articles on other companies (I know you've done some of this already) to see how to lay them out and how to use references. Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
perhaps you might explain this, the listings you called external links, are where the information came from, can verify the information, and as far as I know, that is the purpose of references. But I can check the links you gave me before I....ah...I don't know...tell you any more. Keserman (talk) 15:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- Did you read any of those links I gave you? Could you understand what they said - Wikipedia has a bit of a language of its own, and it can be difficult to follow. Basically, you need to show that people who are not the modern company are saying that this company is notable. You would do best writing mainly about the historic company - there are more sources. If you are interested in the subject of handguns, do you have books? These should mention the company. I have books on weapons including handguns, but they mostly focus on European stuff, or I'd send you some suggestions.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:54, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I need opinions!Keserman (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[edit]
Anyone interested inimproving firearms coverage on wikipedia! I have considered that the page "glock pistol" has the glock pistol line on it,with information on eack model and information about operation and such,but smith and wesson,colt,remington,et cetera,have articles on a lot of their individual models,so I was thinking maybe glock pistols should have articles of their own.Is this a good Idea?anyone,leave it here!Keserman (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Glock pistols can technically be regarded as a building block system that were and are developed in evolutionary steps. This means Glock pistols are generally very similar when regarded as a technical platform, though other handgun manufacturers tend to build their products on technically much more varying platforms. When pistols differ as a technical platform it is logical to write different Wikipedia articles about them.
The Glock pistol line however primarily consists of variations and (generally rather conservative) evolutional developments of the oldest basic Glock 17 model. The main differences of the 9x19mm Parabellum, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .357 SIG and .45 GAP models are the chambering and from that resulting dimensional variations. Also most chamberings are offered as full-size, compact and sub-compact variants.
When compared to the larger variants, the subcompact models do have a reworked frame, locking block, and spring assembly that features a dual recoil spring. The dual recoil spring assembly is however currently introduced in the 2010 fourth generation full-size and compact lines, blurring the typologically not very significant technical differences between the smallest and larger variants.
Since all these Glock pistols are technically and historically clearly closely interrelated it is justifiable to keep them together in the current single Wikipedia article.
- The by far most significant exception of the Glock building block principle are the Glock 25 and 28 models chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge. Due to the relatively low bolt thrust of the .380 ACP cartridge, these pistols feature an unlocked breech and operate via straight blowback of the slide. These two models might typologically be regarded as differing pistols. It would be justifiable to feature these two specific Glock models in a separate Wikipedia article.--Francis Flinch (talk) 18:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- The question you raised is sadly not about an exact science, where clearcut answers and proofs tend to be the norm. I am sorry I can only provide some common sense to reason what is logical/most appropriate for the Glock pistol article. Maybe it is a comforting thought that Glock Ges.m.b.H. as a company already has its separate Wikipedia article, since Glock also does manufacture other products.--Francis Flinch (talk) 16:43, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- In the past, each Glock pistol model had their own, separate article. It was decided to merge them all into a single article for several reasons. Put simply, all of the Glock pistols (with only 3 exceptions) are essentially the same basic design, the only major differences being chambering and physical size. The 3 exceptions are of course the Glock 18 (the selective fire version of the Glock 17), and the Glock 25 and 28 (the .380 ACP models which use simple blowback operation instead of the short-recoil operation required by more powerful cartridges). Rather than repeat the same information over 20 times, it is better to have a single article, and explain what's different about the 3 "misfits".

ruger blackhawk[edit]
I have left a message at the talk page of the ruger blackhawk,but have not got a response in a reasonable time,anyone please visit page and respond.Keserman (talk) 13:05, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- This type of question should be posed on the specific wikiproject. Perhaps WP:GUN is the correct location? No one is reading your talk page to get group discussions about such topics. — Timneu22 · talk 13:11, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- as to your response,i may try that,but it seemed to me that it had to do with the contents of the page (I DID put it on the ARTICLE's talk page),and i didn't think about those pages/projects/whatever,and thanks for the suggestion.but still,some people on wikipedia who "know" me may find it,or really,anyone sendind me a message,until the list goes too long beyond it,and may find it.and it was a secondary place for the hope that someone may just find and awnser it,the primary was on the article's talk page.and with that matter being discussed,I respectfully but bluntly ask you exactly how did you come across this on my talk page?somehow you found it,so why not others?and if i could trouble you to do so,i would prefer to have the response left on MY talk page.Keserman (talk) 13:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- First put something on an article's talk page. If that gets no response, usually there's a WikiProject under which that page falls, and people there offer opinions. The only reason that I came across your talk page is that I am watching it. You seem to be a user who needs much guidance. I am watching this page, so please reply here. — Timneu22 · talk 13:54, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- And note that many people want all conversations to be on one talk page, without ping-ponging back and forth. So frankly it's a little rude to say "leave replies on my talk page" when my user talk page specifically says I want to keep the conversation there. As it is, this conversation is now here. — Timneu22 · talk 13:55, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

well,let's keep it here.look for a new section which i will add.i can understand this.look for a new section.

ok,so some "wikipedia" grammar is different than normal english.But I am more carful about capitalization in articles than messages,which are just talk,and a few "intentional mistakes",pardon the oxymoron,can shorten it so we can get to better things,but i will try it,but I hardly reckon it will change the below much.Keserman (talk) 14:40, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
community message as to my work and reception of it.[edit]
well,I do not wish to be rude to the wikipedia community,but I will be straightforward about problems.And note that while I will mention specific things wikpedians have done mostly or fully alone,I will not mention names and this is not a personal attack/even compliment/thank you/whatever to any one wikipedian.Now.I have been welcomed by others upon entering,not done much exept grammar editing and such,"graduated" to creating articles,made the mistake of putting unreferenced information in,triing,and mostly succeding,in referencing it,created a referenced article twice,It got deleted,I have gotten support and help,but now I am faced with wikipedian(s) watching my talk page,deleting articles and sounding rude and disrespectful,and well....but this is getting too much.I read that all contributions are appreciated.Maybe they are,but some of mine do not seem that way.so I will not ask people to stop,but rather I think I will stop doing these things,perhaps remove alot of rude-sounding gibberish from this talk page,and not expect much talk.If this is how alot of "mr.more experienced commanding always-right wikipedian"s ar to treat me,I may as well quietly go abot grammatical editing,and improving the one article that I have created and still exists,and is satisfactory,thanks not only to a project of referencing,help from kind wikipedians wishing to help and do so in a friendly manner,who will apologize if they must sound rude or harsh,an infobox with 2 images,and well...I can take good care of that and related articles,and not do much else.well,cheers.Keserman (talk) 14:34, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- People are trying to help you. Assume good faith; I don't see where people are rude to you. — Timneu22 · talk 14:41, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
maybe they aren't, I think I mentioned something about them seeming rude but are not trying to be. But, perhaps you can understand, I can (and actually try to) assume good faith, but when It seems-there is that "it seems" (but only seems)again-that a majority of your work is deleted,suppressed,corrected,and SEEMINGLY rudely,in every way,it can be frustrating. So maybe I can go somewhat outside the above message from me,but not much. I suddenly feel somewhat uninterested in anything else. I can also think that the above conservative ambitions is somewhat what I set out to do on wikipedia. And I am trying to avoid direct personal attacks,but I must use watching my talk page as an example that help can sometimes go too far.but right now I don't care,so go ahead if you want.I have the feeling that after this discussion, Unless someone brings it up again, anything of interest and "help-attracting" could be mainly few and far between. This discussion is actually interesting,but it is hardly making me change my mind from the above, at least for now.Keserman (talk) 15:03, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- People watch other people's talk pages. That's how, for example, I'm able to continue this conversation. I have no idea why this bothers you. Other than that, I will say this: you seem to have a lot of, frankly, nonsense ramblings on this page and your user page, but you don't have many edits to articles. Frankly, I've never seen another user with this type of editing pattern. If you're so gung-ho about Wikipedia, the best thing to do is to make quality edits. Also, I notice the page that we userfied for you, User:Keserman/Merwin Hulbert and company, has been untouched. — Timneu22 · talk 15:13, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, now that you mention reasons why people can watch a user talk page, and how they can enter a discussion, it doesn't bother me. It was really that that didn't occur to me,and it sounded sort of creepy and....well, now, go ahead. And I don't fully get the "gung-ho about wikipedia" thing and the "nonsense ramblings". And as to "nonsense",frankly,you used that word on me and my work a few times now. And I try to make high-quality edits,but you can see the result. But if My user page, talk page,and a lot of my work are nonsense, and such, isn't it better if I refrain from making edits that could turn out, well, that way. And as to Merwin Hulbert, you can keep a weather eye to it, and I may "touch" it. I have been busy with othe things, and I am not sure what to d with it yet, as in I need to think about how to improve it and such, and I should work on it within the next few days if nothing else come up. As of now, I don't see much to keep me busy in the near future.well,Keserman (talk) 15:38, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- Your user page has all sorts of "my theories on Wikipedia" and other such things. This is why I say "gung-ho". Really, I've never seen that from any other editor. As for nonsense and ramblings, sorry, but that's exactly how your text comes across. Something to consider. Anyway, I have nothing left to say. Good luck to you. — Timneu22 · talk 15:53, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, I guess I just would like to express these things, especially give a message to people who intentionally vandalize wikipedia and such. And all I can say is that it appears coherent enogh for me. However, I may consider it and well, see if anything can make much more sense. I don't have much more to say myself, exept, to be frank, AT FIRST, you were, well, sort of a nuisance,but now you are an appreciated help, and thank-you. And whether you need it or not, good luck to you too. Cheers,Keserman (talk) 16:05, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- People who vandalize WP aren't looking at your userpage, and frankly they shouldn't be. You should direct them to the appropriate policy page. I don't believe I've ever been a nuisance; I simply nominated a poorly-referenced article for deletion. — Timneu22 · talk 16:10, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
you have a point, but still....well, I may consider that later. And sorry, but that IS what you seemed to me. But like I said, you are a help now. But let's not "dwell" on that. Cheers,Keserman (talk) 16:46, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Merwin & Hulbert draft[edit]
Hi there, I had a look at your article that was userfied to your page. Hmm, first of all there's again the notability problem. Youtube does not count in terms of notability per Wikipedia's standards, and the company's website alone is also not a claim of significance and importance. What we need are multiple independent sources that say why M&H is noteworthy. So if any national newspaper or any firearms magazine had a report about the company's resurrection, that'd be a start. But it seems to me that the company is simply too small and unimportant to receive coverage and so we also can't include it in Wiki. Cheers, De728631 (talk) 12:12, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Possibly useful sources [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Also, there's a book about the company [6].--Elen of the Roads (talk) 12:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
thanks, I'll look at the sources by and by, probably soon, but right now I'm at something else. But still respond if response is called for right away. I'll work on it later if I can use these or whatever. But, no offense, I hardly get the book mentioning, unless there is some signifigant exerpt or some version on the web, It does not help a thing. unless it was a casual mentioning for whatever.cheers,Keserman (talk) 13:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Nice find Elen. We might use the Gun magazine article and it's sure worth mentioning the book. You don't need to get it, Keserman, but it helps mentioning it in the article. If people write a whole book about something, it might be noteworthy after all. De728631 (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
If I am to mention the book, I will need more elaborate information on it, like title, author and such. And I agree with the immediate above.Keserman (talk) 13:32, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- All the information you need is included in the link.Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
near future work[edit]
I plan to soon start work on truck articles. my plans are mainly creating articles on idividual generations of the general motors C/K and ford f-series. I feel/agree that ther is enough information in these truck's articles to warrant sufficient reason for this. if anyone wishes to help then please do but on behalf of wikipedia, its users including me, please do not write hoax and/or false material. I recommend the original whole series articles be kept but shortened to keep some major information in one place. also, I will not be able to move or add pictures so if anyone has any or wants to move some from the whole series articles go ahead please. I may do this with other articles if I or other editors feel the same about those. the article about the chevy silverado is another one.Keserman (talk) 23:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

April - National Contribution Month[edit]
Good day Keserman,
During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.
Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried. If you have any questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact us.

London Bound
OK, OK, I admit it. We're those kind of gays. We're the ones who, long before we knew we were gays of any kind, begged our parents to let us get up in the middle of the night to watch Princess Di's fairy-tale wedding back in 1981. We can speak intelligently about why Helen Mirren's Queen Elizabeth I was far superior to Cate Blanchett's, we are as intimately aware of Prince Philip's many faux pas as of Fergie's, and we've followed every report of minutae, confirmed or fictional, regarding the April 29 nuptials of commoner Kate Middleton to the future king of England.
As luck would happen, we were due in a London suburb for a far less elaborate or famous wedding, that of an old friend who chose the especially dreary month of January to tie the knot. My partner and I had promised ourselves as little boys that we'd be on the sidewalk, not on our couches, the next time the Brits staged a wedding of the century, but we could neither afford to go twice in one year nor — as we semi-seriously considered — stay abroad for four months to see Wills wed.
Still, there was an upside to going ahead of the crowds: We could serve as travel scouts for like-minded queers en route across the pond for either The Wedding or, perhaps, Queen Elizabeth II's as-yet unscheduled Diamond Jubilee celebration next year or, of course, the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Part of the thrill of going to London, it must be said, begins with the flight, and British Airways is all luxury: ample legroom, which is critical on very long flights for those of us over six feet tall, and the sort of menu — steak, fish, salads, desserts, alcohol — that hearkens back to a bygone age of aviation.
I arrived with a little bit of trepidation because as recently as 2003, when I last visited London, there was a decidedly less-than-enthusiastic welcome for gay travelers that stung and surprised me given how notoriously more accepting Europeans are supposed to be. Asking for one single, large bed for two men elicited a curious, icy stare from the attendant at a well-known international luxury chain, and a surly taxi driver seemed put out when his two male passengers held hands as we rode to the Comptons of Soho bar on Old Compton, London's equivalent of Castro Street.
Eight years on, the city of Big Ben and that hideous gigantic Ferris wheel is ready for the gays. One year after my unfortunate encounters, England began recognizing same-sex civil unions as equal to marriage, so the most famous new papas in the British Empire (and its salacious tabloids) are, of course, Elton John and David Furnish. And just a week before our arrival, a British court issued a landmark ruling that fined an innkeeper at a seaside B&B nearly $6,000 for refusing to give a male couple a double room. In that decision, the judge wrote, "It is a very clear example of how social attitudes have changed over the years for it is not so very long ago that these beliefs of the defendants would have been those accepted as normal by society at large. Now it is the other way around."
old-world glamour, we checked out the one-year-old Park Plaza Westminster
Bridge, which, with rooms starting at $230, may just be one of the best
bargains in this very expensive world capital. That's not nothing, but
it is kind of a steal considering the primo location across from Big Ben
and its very hip, young vibe, from the expansive, sultry lobby bar to
the huge rooms appointed with slick, minimalist furnishings. If the
Langham was the sort of place the 19th-century upper class regarded as
luxurious, the Park Plaza is what someone like Prince William would view
in the same light today.
Finally, we concluded our trip at the
Savoy, a few blocks away from Theatreland and gifted with stunning views
of the Thames River. You know the Savoy even if you think you don't,
for this is where George Gershwin first played "Rhaphsody in Blue,"
where Queen Elizabeth II first went out publicly with her future husband,
and where Oscar Wilde carried on much of his affair with Lord Alfred
Douglas. This is Hollywood's London haven — Frank Sinatra, Judy
Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Noel Coward all performed in the famed
American Bar or Beaufort Bar, and Vivien Leigh met Laurence Olivier in
the lobby — and we're quite sure we encountered Nora Ephron in the
We checked in just in time, as the Savoy — where I had
taken high tea in 2003 and remained lustful ever since for the rich,
buttery taste of the finest raisin scones ever — had just reopened last
fall after a three-year, $300 million overhaul. Indeed, it's worth
noting that even if you cannot afford a room at the Savoy (they can
start at $500), at least take tea. Doing so is a classic, elaborate
British tradition that can last two hours or more during which guests
leisurely enjoy unlimited variations of special-blend teas as well as
constantly replenished finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries in a
stately room where they are serenaded by a tux-clad pianist. It costs about $50 per
person, and reservations are required.
Having never seen the previous incarnation of the 268 rooms, divided into Edwardian and art deco wings, it's hard to grade the Savoy on its overhaul except to say that the 450-square-foot Edwardian room we occupied was flawless right down to the daily fresh flowers. The difference between the Edwardian and art deco options is mainly about taste, the Edwardian having the more antique, regal touches of brocaded comforters and decorative draperies, whereas the art deco versions are sleek and modern, with primary-color paint and white-and-gray bedding. All have the modern elements — flat-screen TV, iPod docking station, spacious marble-floored bathroom — you'd expect from new digs.
Before we departed, we managed to do one very pertinent royal-related activity, the William and Kate Wedding Walk, opportunistically slapped together by the British Tourist Authority, whose site, VisitBritain.com, overflows with interesting and very reasonably priced group tours. The tour starts outside the building where Queen Elizabeth II was born (by cesarean, we are informed) and concludes outside Westminster, where The Wedding will take place.
There's one problem with it: It's very little about William and Kate and much more about their various forebears. In particular, and not displeasingly, the ghost of Diana looms, whether it be the jeweler that made her — and now Kate's — engagement ring or the chapel where her body lay for visits from grieving subjects. Even the conclusion of the tour by our guide was Diana-esque: "After the wedding, Kate's going to have a lot of titles after her name, but she's going to have to work very hard to earn the hardest title of all, that of the people's princess."
I consulted with Thompson about why the tour felt so contrived.
"Kate and Wills are two very young people who are on the outset of their lives, and he just happens to be Queen Elizabeth's grandson," he said. "Come back in 30 years when their children are getting married and I'm sure the William and Kate tour will be far more interesting."
What a splendid idea! It's a date!
