Well Xmas has started. Thanks for your help Victuallers (talk) 12:02, 24 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I, for one, enjoyed your Scott Sisters article very much. Miss Ivonne (talk) 16:38, 24 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Cordelia. This is in response to the discussion on your article, entitled Scott sisters. I apologize if I came off as rude or stubborn. That was certainly not my intent. We all have biases, and ignoring them completely while editing Wikipedia is very difficult. Please understand that my actions were in no way an attempt to undermine or insult your contributions. I'm certain that the same can be said for the other editors involved in the discussion. I firmly believe that we are all trying to improve Wikipedia in whichever way we can. Have a merry Christmas!-RHM22 (talk) 23:29, 24 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

You didn't come across as rude or stubborn at all, and I hope I didn't give you the impression that I thought you did. Thanks for helping out with the Scott sisters article, and for all your work to improve Wikipedia. Congrats also on your recent DYKs, it looks like you've written some interesting articles recently. Wishing you a happy New Year! Best, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 16:34, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks for your understanding and kind words. You didn't give me the impression of being upset, I just wanted to leave you a message to be certain. A happy New Year to you as well!-RHM22 (talk) 16:44, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

By the way, I just checked, and your DYK will make the hall of fame. It got 13.1 thousand hits, and is 13th in total views for a DYK article so far this month.-RHM22 (talk) 21:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:RaminPourandarjani.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Closedmouth (talk) 17:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

USER: Cordelia Vorkosigan appears to be a cover ACCOUNT for USER: CordeliaNaismith. Any pro-Israeli propaganda being spread by this user in Wikipedia should be taken in that context.Cardovus (talk)

For the record, the user who posted the above message has since been blocked. I really don't know if the user had any evidence for his/her claim.-RHM22 (talk) 20:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Also for the record, the "cover" account self-identified as an alternate account with its first edit, and the names are alternate names for the same well-known fictional character. No indication of anything inappropriate here. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 19:29, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Cordelia (if I may), nice to bump into you on the -pedia. I see you're interested in computational biology. Maybe you'd like to take a look at the articles Race (classification of humans), Race and genetics and Human genetic variation which have all been the stomping grounds of Miradre (talk · contribs) (who as you noticed is a fan of the New Century Foundation's publications) and likeminded editors for a while. You'd be heartily welcome.·Maunus·ƛ· 16:55, 9 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Maunus, thanks for your note and nice to bump into you as well. I just visited your userpage and it seems you work on some very interesting areas of Wikipedia, and your real-life research interests sound very intriguing too! I probably won't have too much time to edit Wikipedia in the near future, but thanks for pointing these articles out and I'll try to take a look at them at some point. Human genetic variation is a topic that I'm interested in, (and, although my own research is unrelated, some members of my research group work on human population genetics), so that article is one I might be especially interested in the future. I do hope that some one will take the time to fix the Race and crime in the United States article sometime soon, because between the preponderance of fringe theories and the narrow article focus, that one remains a dispiriting mess...Best wishes, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 23:04, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Cordelia,

I'm working on a template for the CPJ awards at Template:Footer CPJ International Press Freedom Award laureates, but it's coming out hideously ugly. Any suggestions? I've created them for the Homo Homini Awards and Gwangju Prize now, but I wonder if this one just has too many winners, and too much red, to ever be attractive or useful. Khazar (talk) 15:18, 24 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

NM--got a hand at the Village Pump. I'll start adding to articles tonight probably. Cheers, Khazar (talk) 20:10, 24 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Nice job on the template--it looks great! Cheers, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 03:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! Khazar (talk) 03:57, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Gee, thanks! CordeliaNaismith (talk) 04:14, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I can't for the life of me find a single online reference to 1991 CPJ IPF award winner Cary Vaughan, even to write a two-line stub. I've gone over everything I can think of with regard to Bill Foley, who may or may not have been a collaborator, without luck. I know this is an area you're interested in, too--any ideas, by chance? If all else fails, I might just e-mail Foley (who has a website and a univ. e-mail address) and see if he'll tell me. Khazar (talk) 04:19, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I tried searching the Google News archives, and came across this...CordeliaNaismith (talk) 04:48, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Great, that's all I need! Mostly I'm just looking to fill in that redlink on the template. If CV wasn't a journalist but just a lobbier for one, that would explain why I haven't been able to find him. Thanks, and cheers, Khazar (talk) 04:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ah, it's a she, and it's Foley's wife. Now it all falls into place. Looks like she just just crests notability with this stuff. Thanks again, Khazar (talk) 05:02, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Interesting, and good job with the article. Now, it will be a lot easier for the next person who is curious to figure out what Cary Vaughan did in 1991 :-) Cheers, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 12:46, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Appreciate this: [1] -- especially as not that many people have access to it. I think the last time I saw copyvios from Oxford Music Online that bald was during a school project when a bunch of students were trying to get their "article improvements" in a few minutes before the deadline. Antandrus (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks--I appreciate the kind words. CordeliaNaismith (talk) 21:19, 12 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Khazar! It's such a pleasure to see the lovely work you're doing on Wikipedia.CordeliaNaismith (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wish to know on what proof did you find forgery Jean Lafitte's note about his origin. This was published by the chief rabbi of Philadelphia Bertram Wallace Korn and presented in the book of the well known historian Edward Kritzler.

Hi. When you recently edited Aminul Islam (trade unionist), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nike and Bangladeshi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wow!! Congratulations on your featured list, it is beautiful! And thanks for the note, you made my day! I can't believe how much you've improved this page. You really did an amazing job with this. Cheers, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 02:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for your work. I noticed an "underlinked" template you added to an article. Really? On en.WP we try to ration links to the most useful. Tony (talk) 07:53, 19 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

The article Ali Heydariyan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable. Nothing of the references mention him directly, but all as a passing mention. Fails WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
