Asperger('s) syndrome[change source]

On enwiki, there has been some off-and-on debate about whether or not to use the 's, but the general consensus has been to not use it, for some time now. If the rules aren't specifically different on Simple I would say it would be better off following enwiki's pattern. I can try to locate the discussions on enwiki if you're interested. -- Soap (talk) 02:24, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Nifky![change source]

Thank you so much for your kindness of changing my article about Lady beetles. I'm afraid everybody wouldn't appreciate my "point of view", and of course this Simple English Wikipedia is supposed to be international and worldwide.... So sorry! Well, thanks for concerning about my article! Most gratefully, Pretty Lydie (talk) 09:53, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Um, Nifky, could you...[change source]

Well, I'm still very pleased and delighted to hear your concern about my page of lady beetles, but I checked in just now and I see that you erased everything. Could you please bring back a few important details? (I worked very hard on the page, you see.) Well, if you can't, then just tell me... It's okay....

Hi, Nifky! Thank you for your help. Could you tell me why 'Powerfully Poisonous' is POV-ish? :D Maybe it sounds like I like poison or something...^^ Well thank you! I just thought venom wasn't simple enough, so I made it thus. Classical Esther 08:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I removed the 'powerfully' word in particular because I felt it was indicating a statement from a point of view, saying it's very poisonous without any proper explanation saying how poisonous it was, so I replaced it with venom, (or simply just poison would do). Thanks for reminding that venom wasn't simple enough, it wasn't at BE 850, so I'll just replace it to poison. Feel free to ask any questions if you're interested.

Thank you for the tip! I'm really clumsy with those kind of gadgets, but I installed Twinkle anyway just now. I won't keep you from fighting vandals by detaining you here with my boring remarks any longer, so to cut a long speech short, thanks again, and God bless! Classical Esther 09:07, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for bothering you...[change source]

But thankyou for improving the article on Peanuts. I am sure I did not intend to make it a "POV", whatever that means, and anyway thankyou for correcting it! Best Regards, Miss Tilney (talk) 07:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks. I think I've explained what POV means to your sister before, but anyway it stands for 'point of view', meaning that if I said 'peanuts are very tasty and nice' that would be a point of view compared to 'peanuts have a shell'. Anyway, that was not your intention so that's fine and you're welcome to ask any questions in the future. :P Nifky^ 07:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
