Amsterdam or Utrecht in 2009

I saw that you changed Utrecht to "assumed to repeat" in 2009. Why? And why did you do so without contacting the Dutch organiser of 2008 (me)?

Shortly after the 2008 ride in Utrecht I already changed Amsterdam to "assumed to ride" with the new date, 6 june 2009. Originally we had planned the 2008 WNBR in Amsterdam and I had already made some preparations (route etc.) and some publicity, but because of the main manifestation of the action for a good climate-protection law at the same day in Utrecht, we moved to Utrecht. I think there will be no serious dispute that the Dutch WNBR 2009 will be in Amsterdam -if so, things may change and that is the reason that I did not put "committed to ride" at that place- and while in Utrecht only a small group (between 25 and 30 paricipaters) turned up from all over the Netherlands, there is no use in organizing 2 WNBR's in the Netherlands, especially not in two locations so near to each other.

There is only one Newcastle in the WNBR

Please desist from making uninvited changes to the Wiki Newcastle page. Marte 17:54, 7 Jul 2006

It's a wiki. People make changes, uninvited. That's how it works. I added a disambiguation page to save future confusion between the two large cities on Earth that are called Newcastle. --Nsayers 11:04, 7 Jul 2006 (PDT)

Thanks for contributing

Nsayers,

Thank you for your contributions to WNBR Wiki. Your work has been invaluable to the success of this ride internationally. Have a good day. D 11:06, 15 Mar 2006 (PST)

Use of your planning notes

Nsayers, can we use your planning notes as a template for other cities to use as well? They are very well written. Thank you for your consideration. D 13:29, 20 Mar 2006 (PST)

No worries. Go for it! It's a wiki, after all. ;-) Nsayers 13:44, 20 Mar 2006 (PST)

Pretoria

Hi Nick, Pretoria was not a WNBR event, it was not on public lands. I had a discussion about this with the ride organizors, but there don't want to adhere to WNBR policy. I'm removing the link from the list of rides. Cheers, D 10:50, 27 Mar 2006 (PST)

Request for involvement in Wikipedia naming convention dispute

Hi, I'd like to invite you to get involved in establishing consensus in discussions concerning naming conventions for social nudity topics.

Please join in this community discussion regarding the name of Wikipedia:Portal:Clothes free.

Participate here: Wikipedia:Portal_talk:Clothes_free#Votes

Please also join in the discussion about what to name an article dealing with Wikipedia:social nudity. I believe the the latter term is a better term to use than naturism or nudism as it is more Wikipedia:WP:NPOV and is in use currently. Formerly the article was titled Wikipedia:Clothes free movement.

Participate here: Wikipedia:Talk:Naturism#Move_to_Social_nudity

Cheers,

Wow! Amazing Work!

Thank you so much for all your thousands of edits on WNBR Wiki. You are totally amazing. D 19:18, 25 Apr 2006 (PDT)

Thanks again!

Thanks again for all of your recent work on this wiki. Its hard to even keep track of it all. Your work is invaluable. Cheers, D 11:41, 8 Jul 2006 (PDT)

Thank-you not

Please do not edit my comments left on a discussion page. It is disrespectful to place words into someone's quote. I realize you only wished to make the links work in the single-minded way you desired. I will not get into a editing war with you. You deleted a page I took time to build, and you replaced all the links to it. In doing so, you made the Saint Louis entry something many people can no longer view from their work place (NSFW). Of course, to you, your way is best, and I see no point in changing it back just to have you change it again. Thank for for doing this without a single discussion about why someone might have wanted to do what they did. It is better to just change and quote the almighty wiki adage of not submitting things you do not want edited mercilessly. Respect is something that sane people never seek to find. I doubt I will add more photos with this as the status quo. --Photo212grapher 15:42, 3 August 2008 (PDT)

Sorry to have caused offence, and thanks for adding your photos to the wiki in an attractive and well-categorised manner. I was just house cleaning and amalgamating surplus content. Having unnecessary sub-pages for rides increases the amount of maintenance work, especially as there are only about three of us who actively work on the wiki. It's probably better to post photos of the ride to our Flickr group where they can be more easily grouped and tracked. The ones you've posted aren't particularly NSFW, imho! Feel free to continue this discussion off-wiki: mail A T nicksayers D 0 T com --Nsayers 04:05, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

Hopefully I've just made a change that you'll be happy with. I've set up a proper Saint Louis photos page from the 2008 one you created. Let me know if this is alright. --Nsayers 04:18, 4 August 2008 (PDT)

You must work at a different place than 99% of the rest of the workforce. A visible penis is going to be NSFW everywhere I know, and the painted breasts are likely to be NSFW in half of the workplaces. I feel discussions are the true spirit of Wiki, and you did offend me off by not have one. Unilateral changes are within policy, but then again walking up to strangers on the street and saying, "I don't like your hairdo" is within your rights, too. Neither are consider polite.

The Wiki from where I admin, we tend to do things different. We would leave the users' named pages as is, and place a #REDIRECT under the "proper" page. Our policy is to edit as little as possible. The less we are seen, the more it is the user's wiki. --Photo212grapher 05:54, 4 August 2008 (PDT)
