Spell checking
Actually no, it was unintentional. I ran the whole page thru my spell checker. Feel free to put back the U.K. spelling. The policy is vague here, but seems to suggest being consistant within a page. The Wikipedia is not US centric tho (or at least doesn't intend to be). Sam Spade 02:11, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Naming convention
Hi, I really like your new articles, but I have been moving some of them in keeping with Wikipedia:Naming conventions. When we developed these a while back, the idea was that the way we name all similar articles (such as people, places, etc.) would be standardized. If you have any questions, I will be happy to try to answer. Danny 22:47, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Hey Danny. Ah gee. I know, I know, I know. Sometimes habits of a long career overcome the thought processes. Tks for fixing them. Cheers Moriori 23:13, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
Editing experiments
I just deleted the editing experiment which you blanked. May I suggest that instead of blanking you better exchange such pages with {{msg:delete}} - you might even retain the original nonsense text then. Then such marked pages cannot get lost as they are always traceable with the "WhatLinksHere" link of that MediaWiki page. andy 09:47, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Mark Todd
Hi. I don't understand the purpose for the article you created at Mark Todd, UK politician with no text other than the stub notice. I also noted that no other pages linked there. I couldn't see any use for that, so I deleted it. If this was inappropriate, let me know. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 02:27, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Re: eeeek!
Hi! Unfortunately, even through Im an administrator too, I face your same situation. I dont know how to create disambiguation pages. What I will do is paste your massege to Village pump; hopefully someone can give you directions there. Im looking forward to reading your article on Mark Todd the horse sportsman. Thank you, and God bless you! Sincerely yours, Antonio Paris *cks my *alls Martin
- You don't need to add a note that says you're going to make the page. Just upload the text when you're done. Dysprosia 03:21, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Maori
Kia ora, e hoa! Remarkable range of interests you have, as far as I can judge from a quick skim of your last 500 contributions. Anyway, the reason I've been doing less for the English WP in the last 5 weeks is here: the fledgling Maori Wikipedia. I would be delighted if you had a look (or another look, if you have already - I forget whether you've been recorded as contributing anything). You possibly know more Maori than the current 16 "members" put together. You could sign up and give us a "Karearea" page, linked from a list of birds linked from the "Lists" page. Or at least leave a greeting on the Korero page. Please? Kind regards - Robin Patterson 03:39, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the half-anonymous note on my talk page. I think one can often write a language better than one can speak it. Maybe you can (1) have a browse among the recent changes; (2) email several Maori-speaking friends with a recommendation that they have a look too? Very best wishes - Robin Patterson 07:44, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up
I'll keep a watch on him. RickK 22:30, Jun 2, 2004 (UTC)
Current Sports Events
Hi. I notice that in your edit to Current Sports Events of 10:11 yesterday (8 Aug) the link to [[MS<caron>K Z<caron>ilina]] got corrupted to "MS<caron>K Z<caron>ilina". Was this deliberate, or do you use some unusual software that made this change automatically? There is a redirect from MSK Zilina anyway... Cheers! Arwel 11:03, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- (Posted to Arwel's page) -- Hi Arwell, you asked on my talk page whether it was deliberate that the link to MS<caron>K Z<caron>ilina got corrupted to "MS<caron>K Z<caron>ilina during my edit to Current Sports Events of 10:11 yesterday 8 Aug. No it was not deliberate, and I would never do that. I'm using IE6. Could that be the culprit? Cheers. Moriori 20:28, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
- Hi Moriori. No, I don't think it's IE6 that's causing the problem, because I use it too! There must be some strange setting somewhere that's causing this. Oddly enough, in your reply on my talk page it's happened again and it appears as "MS<caron>K Z<caron>ilina got corrupted to "MS<caron>K Z<caron>ilina " -- very strange, eh? -- Arwel 20:45, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- (Posted to Arwel's page) --: I am as flummoxed as you are Arwel. I'm not a compugeek, so I jave no idea what the prob may be. Cheers. Moriori 22:50, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)

News item: Zinedine Zidane
I removed this item because the article was not sufficiently updated for the event: the article contained no more information about the news event than did the item in the "In the news" template. The Wikipedia is not a newspaper; items go in the "In the news" section as a pointer to an event worthy of an encyclopedia. If a person does not gain any new information about the current event than from what is on the front page, then it should not be there. Note, for instance, that each of the other items presently "In the news" each have more than three paragraph's worth of information that was added within the last two days. Each have a full paragraph or more of information immediately related to the current event and more than four paragraphs directly related to the event. - Centrx 23:23, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I did not know that there was a current sports events page. - Centrx 02:32, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Arbitration concerning Rex071404
As you probably know, there's a pending arbitration proceeding that asks for Rex to be blocked from editing John Kerry and related pages.
Arbitration proceedings can take months. If you want to join several other editors in urging the Arbitration Committee to issue a temporary injunction, so that the Kerry article can be usefully edited sometime before the election, I'd love it if you'd go here to chime in with your support:
Thanks! JamesMLane 13:46, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
FYI: JamesMLane is spending copious amounts of time trying to give me the boot from John Kerry. What he doesn't tell you is that he is also at fault himself for some of the revert problems which have occured there. Rex071404 04:32, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
