Hello Carwil!

In the articleHistory of South America

Would minding telling me where you heard of:

people lived on a complex combination of swidden agriculture, alteration of the forest ecosystem, and hunting and gathering. Concentrated in large settlements on the shores of the Amazon

For what I know, the pre-columbian amazon was inhabited by a wealth of communities, relatively isolated from each other, and they didn't really applied themselves to "large settlements" or "alteration of the ecosystem", leading mostly hunter/gatherer lifestyles.

I would be very interested in reading up the source of that. Thanks!Claus Aranha08:27, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I have googled up "pre-colombian amazon", and found some pretty interesting information. Thanks for the motivation. Since you're rewording your edit, I'll put what I've found on the talk page of the article, and add it later. It might be interesting to write that the notion of a densely populated amazon was brought about by recent archeological findings.Claus Aranha09:36, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know you are new, but if you vandalize any more pages by disregardingNPOV policies, your stay here will be a short one.

February 15, 2003 anti-war protest, an article which is part of theWikiProject Anti-war of which you are listed as a member, has been recently ratedA-class by theVersion 1.0 Editorial team (seehere)This means that it is considered to be of good quality. The Anti-war project has yet to achieve a featured article but with a little pushing I feel we could get this article up to FA standards. To this end I have put the article up for peer review, if you could help make this a brilliant article that would be much appreciated. Please give your comments atWikipedia:Peer review/February 15, 2003 anti-war protest/archive2 or on the article'stalk page. Fingers crossed for a FA before Xmass.--JK the unwise13:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

February 15, 2003 anti-war protest an article from theWikiProject Anti-war, which you are listed as a member of, has been nominated for theArticle Improvement Drive (by me).

It is an article about a day of much importance both to the history of the anti-war movement and to general discussion of the Iraq war. With a little work from experienced editors it could gainFA status. If you would like to see it improved please vote for it atMake "February 15, 2003 anti-war protest" the subject of an Article Improvement Drive--JK the unwise13:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Myself and another editor have a few qualms with your map, which hopefully you can help us sort out. The main troubles are whether or not to include Thailand and what source you have for the inclusion of Myanmar, which we've been unable to find. Please take a look atImage talk:ExtRenditionMap.gif for the discussion. Thanks!Blackcap(talk)18:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! As a contributor to WikiProject Climate change, I thought you might like to be aware of the opportunity to contribute to the newenergy portal, now that there is one... No need to reply.Gralo17:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_October_11#Template:Palestine. You'll notice it is the same block of voters who all come in and voted oppose to the renaming here:Talk:Allegations_of_Israeli_apartheid#Requested_move.2C_Retitle_Article_ASAP. It's coordinated block voting and I do not know how to respond to it appropriately. Maybe I should create a mailing list of people who I think will vote with me and call them up when I want to get rid of something I don't like. --Ben04:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your comments one hundred per cent.Veritas et Severitas23:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a brief go at the US section onUses of torture in recent times. It needs compressing heavily to a summary of the main torture article.

A second issue is that there are heavily referenced and summarized sections inHuman rights and the United States which reference torture but are not included in either of these articles. See sections "Torture, abduction and abuse" and "Prison". These need copy/pasting into the main "torture" article, complete with references, and then a better summary done in the more general article.

Can IO leave this to you? Its needed. Thanks.FT2^{(Talk |email)}19:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Over the past couple of months I've been spending much more time than I should developing theEnergy portal, and intend asking for aportal peer review within the next day or so.

The portal provides a showcase for energy-related articles on Wikipedia. One of the most prominent ways is via a theselected article that is currently changed every 6 weeks or so. It would be good to increase this turnover, and with three Wikiprojects dedicated to energy-related topics and a good number of articles already written, I'd like to suggest that members of each Wikiproject might like to use the 'selected article' to feature some of their best work.

With this in mind, I'd like to suggest that your Wikiproject bypasses the normalselected article nomination page and decides collectively which articles are worth featuring - or these may be self-evident from previous discussions (or fromhere) - and add short 'introduction' to the selected article at the appropriate place on pagePortal:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, which includes further information. Your personal involvement would be welcome!

Please make any comments on your Wikiproject talk page,my talk page, or onPortal talk:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, as appropriate.Gralo15:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Carwil,

I'm partly translating theNiger Delta for the Dutch language Wikipedia. I found out that you wrote the piece about the oilwells, natural gas, etc in the article (e.g.here). Can you tell me from which source you have the figures? So I can add them to the new article on nl:. Thanks in advance and cheers, --Jeroenvrp14:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Carwil,

Do you already have an answer on my question?

Please see the talk page. I have removed the section again. I would rather not have done it and if I had the sources I would have addressed the issues I raised on the talk page rather than deleting the section. But I do not, and you had not responded to the requests for a re-wording. --Philip Baird Shearer16:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Carwill, I was looking al the OpCondorParticipantsMap. It's a map originally made by me, but now my name is deleted from the "author" field, and it only mentioned that you are the only author, and a note saying "modified by Carwil James for Operation Condor page". I'm not sure what happened there, but it's a copyright violation, because GNUF doesn't allowed to delete authors names. ¿Do you know something about this? If not I think we need to delete the img because of copyvio. Kind regards, --Roblespepe (talk)15:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Carwill. yes, you're right, I'm wrong. Sorry. Kind regards, --Roblespepe (talk)03:09, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You suggested spltting theperson of color section from thecolored article back in September. I just went ahead and did it without realizing that you were trying to start a conversation there.

Hello. I am trying to improve the9/11 article and I need some help. Regardingthis edit you made toOperation Grapes of Wrath, I was wondering if you knew the page number or knew someone on Wikipedia who does know. Or of you got this from a book review, if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks. --VegitaU (talk)01:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
