Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need any questions answered about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

Hi. Thanks Maverick. I can see this becoming a bit addictive!!

You got that right! --mav 16:59 Aug 6, 2002 (PDT)

Yeah, welcome! There's no high quite like it... --GayCom

Is an Irish person only someone who is a citizen of the Republic (or N. Ireland)? This isn't how most people I knew growing up (in NY) saw it! As you may infer, I have no personal stake in the matter. But the heading of the article seemed to suggest that it would include people of Irish descent, and not just people born in Ireland ... Slrubenstein

Well. My parents are Irish, but I was born in England. I predominantly consider myself English, but I describe myself as Irish by heritage. Now in theory I could play for the Irish football team, and then perhaps I might be called a famous Irishman. However, if I became famous in some other field not directly linked to my parents nationality I would be surprised to find myself described as a famous Irishman. Mintguy

fair enough. Still, I wonder how Gene and Grace saw it. Slrubenstein

Welcome. And on the "serious separation of powers" issues in Kyoto Protocol, I think that is someone's POV -- as opposed to general knowledge. In Wikipedia, advocacy positions are always attributed to their proponents. So if there is some organization or constitutional scholar who raised the "separation of powers" issues, we should mention them. --Ed Poor

nice work on speling of separate and separated. --Ed Poor

I'm beginning to think you found a "list of commonly misspelled words" and are on a vendetta. Good hunting! --Ed Poor

Hi there. Sorry for ranting about Worlds' / World's - i'm doing lots of work on the Sandman stuff, it was 2:30am, and it looked like you'd mucked up a bunch of links, when you actually hadn't :). I just added an entry to the talk page for Worlds' End, clarifying that it really, *REALLY* is Worlds', and explaining why. Since you found so many sources with the mistake, though, I don't blame you for "correcting" it. Cya! --AW

Thanks for the copy-editing on U.S. plan to invade Iraq, mint guy. I'm also anxious about whether I have introduced any bias into the article, either for against Iraq or the US. --Uncle Ed

Thanks for your comment. You're really funny. -- Sam

Hi. Just joined on 5 August 2002.

So far, I've made major changes to the entry on the light bulb and Joseph Swan. Minor additions to the entries of MUDs and corrected spellings in the entries about Edison and London.

Just made an entry for Lewes. the town where I've lived for the last 8 years. It probably needs some editing, as I've basically just gone on about the bonfire.

Harry Paget Flashman... yeah cool..

God. I've got to go to bed, I've been editing for hours.

Ok.. some major missing articles Exchequer, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Office, Home Secretary, Harrow School, Tom Brown's schooldays... loads more... but need sleep ...


Hi, Mintguy, thanks for the tip. The Sussex Ouse is on my waterways map, all alone and forlorn on the south coast...Have a look at Ouse, I've called it the River Ouse, Sussex. Let me know if this is not satisfactory. Do you fancy adding to the article? Renata 17:15 Nov 26, 2002 (UTC)

Bye

My students screwed up the James I page, and then we "fixed" it. Seems you managed to revert it exactly - but how did you do that? I'm still ignorant on these matters. David Martland 15:38 Dec 6, 2002 (UTC)

Hi. Go into older versions(it used to be called 'history', I dunno why they changed it) of the article you wish to change, select the version you wish to revert to, then edit it and hit save.

I take your point about GPO. Do you want to go ahead and fix the disambiguation? I'm logging off now for a while. David Martland 15:55 Dec 6, 2002 (UTC)

I apologise, but only because you live in Lewes, home of the Sussex Archaeological Society. See One-hit wonders in the UK --Deb

Thanks for putting up the Will Self picture... its suitably sinister. -- Greg Godwin

Plz do not erase a text like Neil Hamilton again. You have to move it elsewheres instead of erasing it. Vera Cruz 11:03 Dec 16, 2002 (UTC)

It has been moved to Neil Hamilton (author) Mintguy 11:05 Dec 16, 2002 (UTC)

Hey, do you think you can add Moore's specific gun deaths/year numbers and the population figures you used to the Bowling for Columbine article? It's not that I disbelieve your analysis, but I think the argument would be more compelling with the figures included. --Ryguasu

Yeah I was thinking that myself recently. I didn't include it originally, because I thought it would look untidy and long winded. I'll hunt them down though. Mintguy

Constructive criticism involves suggesting how one's contributions might be more constructive, rather than merely asserting that one's contributions are not constructive. Vera Cruz
