Hi Paul, and welcome. I hope I'll be able to correct the image you have of me because I am a nice sort of person. :-) And you're absolutely right, according to the Wikipedia Manual of Style, which I hadn't read carefully enough when I was writing that Romy Schneider biography, the place of birth/death is not mentioned at the very beginning of an article. (I don't like that convention though.)
Equality between the sexes is an important issue, so whenever I don't know if I'm addressing a man or a woman I call them "Mrs" -- and I'm not the only one I guess. This is of course nothing personal.
Wish you a Happy New Year!

Thats ok mate - i understand that you didn't know the rule - i should have given you a heads up about it before i changed the article.

I am only aware of 2 users, Stevertigo and Zoe, which wish to remove the .jpg. I am aware of 2 users, myself and the person which added the .jpg, which wish to retain the .jpg. Susan Mason
What needs to be corrected in the Rachel Corrie article? Please point out a few places that aren't neutral, and I'll be glad to fix them. (Note that I tend to work slowly and gradually when a hot topic is a source of contention.) --Uncle Ed 20:41 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
When i saw it over half of it seemed to be from an ISM press release thanks to Susan Mason - hardly NPOV - its better now

Nice touches of detail in the Gough Whitlam entry, PMA. I'm working my way slowly through his later career now, as you can see. Tannin
- well my mother would agree with you. ;)
If he did, then you and I are going to have to change them. I'll see if we can get Deb and Zoe in too. We have one agreed convention and he is going to have to stick to it whether he likes to or not! ÉÍREman 05:05 Apr 19, 2003 (UTC)
The change you made to Fleet Street suggests an American readership who would be familiar with Madison Avenue.
- Sorry mate!
Hi Paul, thanks for correcting a few places where I inadvertently separated the date from the month in links. But please stop changing the date at which Irish presidential terms end. It is generally presumed that a president remains in office until the inauguration of his or her successor. However this is incorrect. The term actually ends at 23:59 on the previous day. I doubt if even all the presidents realised that but I checked that with both the Irish constitution and the President's Office in Áras an Uachtaráin. Both are explicit in saying, for example, that President de Valera left office on the 24th of June, and that President Childers assumed office on the 25th of June. Similarly, President Hillery left office on the 2nd of December and President Robinson assumed office on the 3rd of December. The gap in between is theoretically filled by the collective vice-presidency, the Presidential Commission. However in reality nothing has ever happened to require the action of the PC, so the odds are that neither they nor the outgoing president actually realises who is president on the day of the inauguration up to the point where the new president signs their declaration of office. lol FearÉÍREANN 04:07 18 May 2003 (UTC)
No problem. Your other claim to fame is that you are a damn good contributor to wiki. lol. FearÉÍREANN 04:34 18 May 2003 (UTC)
