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
I assume that you are another Canadian who has joined us. If so please sign in at Wikipedians/Canada, or, if you feel it better reflects your sentiments, you can always start Wikipedians/Quebec. Either way your perspective will be appreciated. Eclecticology
Thank you for taking on some of the Canada articles; I've been trying to flesh them out, but lack good reference books, and Canadian history isn't covered well in US schools. Vicki Rosenzweig
Thanks for the Sandman collection pages edits, nice idea, makes it easier to read through them in sequence :). I see you were tripped up by the World's / Worlds' thing too, though. I shall write to Neil Gaiman and berate him for causing such confusion. =) --AW
You seem to be responsible for the article Bowser (Nintendo character) (correct title) but there is also Bowser (Nintendo Character) by an anonymous contributor. I found this as I was trying to conform the titles to the naming convention. Perhaps you know enough about the subject to reconcile the texts. Eclecticology 20:03 Sep 6, 2002 (UCT)
Just thought i'd let you know I responded to your comment on my talk page over there. Cya! --AW
Thanks for filling in some of my articles. I intend to fill them out more, but was interested jumping in and getting started contributing to Wikipedia. I want to put some more thought into these articles before adding more, but I didn't want to leave them blank - I realize it is not a Dictionary and I thought these deserved Wikipedia entries. --Jim
Please double-check my edits to civil union and gay marriage -- I need help to ensure that my bias doesn't affect my objectivity. (If you can't tell my bias from my edits, then I guess I'm doing okay ;) --Ed Poor
Help me out again: is it okay to add "(or1984)" to the Orwell novel? --Ed Poor 21:31 Sep 18, 2002 (UTC)
Hey, speaking of pedantic, how about my change to the "same-sex marriage" definition? So far, no one has suggested a union of three-of-the-same-gender, so I thought it made sense to specify two partners. What do you think? Is this better, worse, or what? --Ed Poor
Suggest you read the QUEBEC talk page and stop submitting your misleading statements. Suggest you first consult a few Constitutional experts. McGill has several....DW
"Hey, relax. Breathe. Calm down." -- Thanks for your concern. But I've been doing that with Ed for something like a year now. Time to vent. :-)
Sorry, I had seen it but I didnot find time to answer to your comment on Talk:Non-sexist language until today. I left you a message there, if you have time to drop by, I would be glad user:anthere
LOL - he is pretty darn cute. One of my cats looks very similar to the long hair on the same page (except my cat doesn't have a dark splotch on her nose). Her name is Mougie and she is a moody bitch -- but my partner and I love her and our other two cats just the same. --mav

The period vs. dot trick is cool; another I like is writing "dot" .dot. which, if converted by a bot, results in something@something...com, which of course bounces & sometimes crashes things. :-) --KQ 02:36 Oct 11, 2002 (UTC)
Yikes! 71 after only a couple months. Pace yourself the Wiki ain't going anywhere. ;-) --mav
I'm not the only gay Wiccan on wikipedia? Will wonders never cease. Blessed be! (And come to me....meow.) ;) -EB-
Sorry, but the intent or purpose of italicizing the territories wasn't clear from the context. Perhaps a note to that effect might help the reader.
I don't know who did it but someone has put Newfoundland as the 12th province to be admited; tough to do when there are only ten. Eclecticology
Please consider following the steps at Wikipedia:Current events on Main Page to get stuff on the Main Page. Harry Hay needs to be added to Current events and Recent celebrity deaths. --The Cunctator
Hi, Montrealais. Do you really want to include regents as successors to monarchs? France has had female regents, but they were regents for an actual king. France has never had a queen regnant. -- Someone else 04:12 Nov 17, 2002 (UTC)

Hey, I changed all the pages that were linked to genitive to link to genitive case. We probably don't need that redirect anymore. --Dante Alighieri
Have you ever heard of a gay slang word called stray? I think somebody is playing a joke on us by trying to legitimize an ideosyncratic term. --mav
That reminds me of the boner: A virgin forest is one where the hand of man has never set foot! -phma
Just saw your question over on my talk page about disambiguation. Sorry it took so long for me to see it, I've been off of Wikipedia for the past couple weeks as it's end-of-term crunch time for me right now (just one more week to go :). Anyway, I think that most of the mythological/astronomical articles deserve a full scale disambiguation; both the astronomical entities and the mythological characters have a lot of information to be told, and labelling one or the other as the "more important" one is entirely too subjective IMO (some people might say "astronomical bodies are of little relevance to us since they're so distant while human history is what we're all about", whereas others might say "you want to relegate entire worlds to footnotes subordinate to bits of old fiction from one small corner of ours?"). I suppose the two wikiprojects could ensure that there are cross-links, with every astronomical object named after a mythological thing having a link back to the myth article and every such myth article having a note at the bottom along the lines of "the moon Europa is named after her".

Mon could you not change the "(born month and day/year)" in articles please - they are in the Wikipedia Manual of Style and are meant to be like that. Thank you. -- Paul Melville Austin
I noticed it in some of the articles on Canadian PM's you did - just thought i would give you a heads up sorry if you took offence
In my early days in Wikipedia I really made a fool of myself about the Cajun article (see Talk:Cajun) and I haven't had the heart to go back sense, but it really does need a lot of work. Ortolan88
Could you possibly find time to do the St. James article, tying it to Santiago/Sandiego de Compostella/Campostella and getting in the "field of stars" bit and coquille Saint-Jacques connection and Jacob/Iago derivation? I'd be very grateful if you would. -- isis 07:51 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
I would if I knew the first thing about any of it :) - Montréalais
C'mon, now: You just edited the article on the place, and you're into linguistics -- it's right up your alley, and I'm sure there's more info all over the Internet. All we need is a longish stub to anchor the Mary I of England link to the apostle who's the patron saint of Spain. Pretty please? -- isis 08:01 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
Ireally don't know anything about either saint. IANAC. If someone started the saint (Santiago de Compostela is St. James the Great, right?) I would follow with the trappings you mentioned, but until that's there I'm pretty much useless. - Montréalais
I didn't even know that name for him. Okay, there's a stub there now, in case you feel tempted. -- isis 08:44 Jan 20, 2003 (UTC)
Prince William is Prince William of Wales, Harry is Prince Harry of Wales. Not Prince of Wales, but a prince of Wales by virtue of being the son of the Prince of Wales. There was a long long discussion on correct titles. I checked with Buckingham Palace and that is their surnames. We all agreed to use that format and never use royal surnames as headings, because most royals worldwide do not have surnames. JTD 00:17 Feb 1, 2003 (UTC)
Montrealais, I think you're becoming obsessed. Do all of these long, dense paragraphs repeating the same thing in so many different articles really add to the 'pedia? -- Zoe
Montrealais please when you break-up articles mention where you got the text from in the first edit that creates the new daughter article? Otherwise the edit history indicate that you, and you alone are responsible for authoring the first version of the daughter article which is neither nice to other contributors or legal per the GNU FDL. I know you didn't mean to step on any toes but please do this in the future - you should also mention the source of the text in an edit summary for a new edit to each article. --mav
