good man

You're a good guy. I do the translations to keep my brain in French mode. I don't seem to be fluent enough to write on :fr without being shouted at. So I'll stay here for now--Wonderfool t(c) 23:25, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The the's, etc

You're welcome. Not sure I'm actually still planning much more on Sean Kelly: the article has been improved and expanded a lot since I put it on my 'to-do'. nice claim to fame, though! I'm not a garner, and certainly not much of a gardener -- I have a balcony with some half-dead rosemary. No, I'm a gamer, as in RPGs, board games, etc. Alai 14:18, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Your message

I'm glad their is support for this distinction between entertainers and other writers. I don't think the support exists site-wide. We have yet to see the worst of vanity insertion before the community takes action. lots of issues | leave me a message 05:45, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maulana Ibne Hasan

I did a google search on "Maulana Ibne Hasan", and I get 9 results, none in english. English is the only language I speak, so I have no idea what they say. I also can't find that article now, was it speedied? --Phroziac (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I changed my vote to keep over there. Thanks for the information. --Phroziac (talk) 20:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Random Number

As I said on the pump, it was fixed in 1.5. We're now running 1.6. This is the function I wrote to replace it:

function wfRandom() {
	# The maximum random value is "only" 2^31-1, so get two random
	# values to reduce the chance of dupes
	$max = mt_getrandmax();
	$rand = number_format( (mt_rand() * $max + mt_rand())
		/ $max / $max, 12, '.', '' );
	return $rand;
}

I'm pretty sure I re-randomized all the cur_random values at the time, although I could be wrong. Getting high quality random numbers is a lot easier than it used to be, now that we have lots of Mersenne Twister implementations. Are you sure you didn't just request 1000 random pages? -- Tim Starling 07:47, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Votes for deletion/David Jasper

I added a rebuttal to your Strong keep vote on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/David Jasper. No pressure to change your vote. Just a courtesy letting you know I responded to your comments. --GraemeL (talk) 13:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch that. Somebody re-wrote the article to point to the David Jasper of Glasgow University. --GraemeL (talk) 14:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Was this you withdrawing the nomination? You might want to go back and clarify that. Flowerparty talk 23:40, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that you appear to have voted on this article based on viewing a vandalized version of it. You may or may not want to view the current version of Brett thompson and reconsider your vote. Cheers, JYolkowski // talk 19:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Marshall Poe

Yes, I thought it was interesting and added a paragraph about it (which is obviously completely out of proportion, considering how little the article currently says about his actual research; we can just hope somebody else adds more about that). Tupsharru 12:17, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion

Hi, I noticed your entry on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Chateaus in the Highland of Castlemore, Brampton, Ontario and assumed you intended to apply it to the following articles:

I've added that comment to each article on your behalf. If I've made a mistake, please let me know, or update those AfD votes, or both. Thanks. Mindmatrix 13:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the complexity of the vote at the above AfD, I have attempted to break down the individual votes on the AfD talk page. If I have misunderstood your vote with respect to any of these, please correct it. Cheers! -- BDAbramson talk 12:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What are your intentions with Koranic annotation signs? If it's merely going to be a list of symbols it probably doesn't belong on wikipedia, however if you're going to make an article that'd be great. Also, I've moved it to User:Dlyons493/Koranic annotation signs, that way you can edit it as long as necessary without fear of it being deleted. When it's ready to withstand life in the main namespace you can move it there. --fvw* 19:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I just wanted to point out that an article on the subject already exists at Lia Fáil. Since that article already contains all the information you submitted at Stone of Fal, I've taken the liberty of redirecting from there to the previously existing entry. If you want to expand it with further information, please feel free to do it at Lia Fáil. Thank you, and happy editing! - Shauri Yes babe? 22:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Any time, D And thanks for the lovely greeting in Spanish - hope this sad attempt in Gaelic will suffice: ehmmm... mille beannachta! or conas ta tu? Nah, forget about it - just have a nice day! Shauri Yes babe? 22:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Article

It happens! It happened with me on Owain ap Gruffydd (which led me to write Dolbadarn Castle and Melrose Abbey) -- ended up being very interesting. The Owain article in particular made me interested in the Welsh princes. Have fun · Katefan0(scribble) 23:06, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unnotable

I will admit, I only checked Webster's, Wiktionary and Dictonary.com. Good to know it's in OED, but likely very obscure.--Nicodemus75 23:34, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In any event, it is a noun, not an adjective. It is still not a word in the sense he used it. --Nicodemus75 23:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Le Puy-Notre-Dame

No problem! If Mary, the mother of Jesus isn't appropriate, please feel free to change it to another link. Best regards, >: Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 20:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
