Calcium Acetate

It is very easy to make the Calcium acetate you wanted. It would be very simple if you can get marble chips or powder (calcium carbonate). All you'd have to do is put them in white vinegar and wait until it stops bubbling, remove the extra stone chips or powder, then evaporate all the liquid off in an oven below 320F, lower is better, in fact I'd suggest 290F because ovens temperatures tend to fluxuate. Crushed seashells would also work because they are calcium carbonate. Avoid garden limestone if you can because it is highly contaminated with iron in most cases. Even better than those two is if you can get slaked lime (CaOH, calcium hydroxide) which will react much faster and completely than a carbonate. Dormroomchemist 08:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

RE:Image:1975 Championship Pose Madison Scouts.jpg

I took a look at this image and its source, following your request on the drum corps wikiproject page...the copyright status, unfortunately, would probably be still under copyright, either to DCI or the Madison Scouts. This means we wouldn't be able to use it on Wikipedia without permission, unfortunately. I would suggest you send an email to the Madison Scouts asking permission to use the image if you'd like it to remain. Mr Bound 22:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't, other than being able to mention that in an email to the Scouts, which could give you additional leverage. Please let me know, it's a great picture. Mr Bound 00:03, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Ghilie suit article

Hey Deflagro. I saw your comment on the WikiProject Paintball talk page. Yes, a Ghilie suit article should be created, if such has not already been done. Go ahead, be bold, do it yourself! If you need help feel free to reach me on my talk page. RavenStorm 00:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting vandalism to my user page!--Diniz (talk) 16:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Paintball guard.JPG

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Paintball guard.JPG, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Paintball guard.JPG is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Paintball guard.JPG itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism Log

Hi. Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page regarding vandalism logs. The logs are automatically generated when you use the VandalProof software to find and revert vandalism. For more information about the software, please go to the VandalProof page. Hope this helps. ^Tom_Phil 22:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Your user page ...

... looks awfully familiar :-) Glad you found the code to be of use. Have to say, the red colour works quite well, too. Thank you for the honour (and for the link). I'll go review your article in a minute here ... - Alison ☺ 01:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Admin Coaching

I am available and would be happy to work with you providing two things; you agree not to submit your RfA until we both feel that you are ready to request the tools and you agree to listen with an open mind to suggestions provided by me or other editors. Just let me know what you think. Great page userpage headers by the way :) Shell ^babelfish 18:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Sounds great! I've started a page, User:Deflagro/Admin coaching - take a look when you get a chance and give me an idea what types of things you'd like to learn out of this process. If you'd like to talk outside of Wikipedia as well, you might want to take a look at my contact page. Shell ^babelfish 20:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Gazzo

I did not find that information. The page you found is merely a personal copy of some ideas from Articles for creation I put there for future perusal and possible creation. They haven't yet been vetted for accuracy. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Copied from User talk:Stemonitis: Sorry 'bout the {{stub}} in the userpage, it was just there as a joke. Didn't realize that was on WP:USER Also, that page said you can have it as long as it is {{tl|stub}}, so can I put it back with that in it? Also, please reply on my talk page, as I tend to forget names a lot. Thanks! Deflagro 15:39, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry; it's not a major thing. When I'm going through categories, making sure everything's in the right order, I take out any user-pages. {{tl|stub}} is of course fine — include that if you like. Or you can subst: the template and strip out the category code, to achieve the same visual effect as {{stub}}, without violating WP:USER. --Stemonitis 17:10, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

John Quelch

Deflagro, thank you for the work you put into the Quelch article. You did a very good job; only a few factual corrections were necessary. I made some grammar corrections and wikified a little. I also changed the part about Quelch flying the first Jolly Roger, to clarify that Quelch may have been the origin of the name but not the design that we now think of as the Jolly Roger.

Regarding the names of Quelch's crew, I feel that this is unnecessary (we would not, for instance, name the entire crew of the Bismarck), but as you have already gone to the trouble of putting it in, I would not to waste your hard work by deleting it.

Thank you again for your contribution!

Turning Queen's Evidence is the British equivalent of turning state's evidence in an American trial. That is, it means agreeing to speak against your fellow criminal defendants at trial in exchange for a pardon, a lighter sentence, or just not being prosecuted.

The Lord High Admiral is the head of all the English admiralty courts (as you've now added, Quelch's trial was the first admiralty trial in England's American colonies). Pirates have to be tried in an admiralty court, because the land courts don't have jurisdiction. Thus, when an admiralty court had a pirate hanged, they paraded the silver oar to show that they had authority from the Lord High Admiral to hang the man. But of course, admiralty courts handled all kinds of cases (prize condemnations, salvage, sailors suing captains for not paying them, etc.), so it's not accurate to call the silver oar just the emblem of a pirate execution.

Robert Bruce (tea planter) article

Many thanks for finding the reference and adding to the Robert Bruce article.-Deepraj | Talk 16:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Deflagro: Please see my response in the Discussion section. Clifford BealSilverhilt 18:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Warnings

I was using Twinkle and I noticed sometimes when I rollback changes, if someone else has already rolledback the changes, it does not go straight to edit conflict, and it also pops up the window of the possible vandal and sometimes people are leaving warnings on the same pages. It wasn't intentional, and sometimes I forget to check the last warning time and date when vandalism is up. I try to make sure that doesn't happen again. Peace. Spartan-James 22:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

IRC

Hey, are you ever on the IRC? If you have a client like XChat, Chatzilla or mIRC, there's some channels out there that make it easier to revert changes instead of clicking the refresh button on the recent changes page. Peace. Spartan-James 22:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Bartholomew Roberts

I went ahead and cited the book that claims Roberts was a woman. Please understand that I don't accept the book's claim at all, and I pointed out the flaws in its argument. Still, as the contention appears in a secondary source, we should probably at least acknowledge the existence of the controversy. Pirate Dan 04:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I was just letting you know so I didn't inadvertently start an edit war with you over the Roberts article. (I've never been in an edit war and don't want to start now).

If you could make the pirate ship infobox, that would be great! Pirate Dan 13:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

July 2007

Thank you for making a report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. Anas ^talk? 15:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
