[edit] Snow Petrel
Yeah, I've had a look at your page on that particular birdie and it's good. In fact it was one of the pages I've been meaning to wrrite for a while. When I have time I'll use my books to add some more info - I also have a few websites to email to see if I can get permission to use a photo to illustrate it with. Anyways, if you're into birds be sure to check out the bird wikiproject. Keep up the good work! Sabine's Sunbird talk 18:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
Hi. Categories are kind of strange if you're not familar with them. In the case of Mount Cleveland (Montana), the category is already there for it being under Mountains of Montana, a subcategory of Mountains of the United States, so we don't need to link the mountain to both...generally it's best to leave them in the subcategory as shown in Wikipedia:Categorization. Thanks.--MONGO 07:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
It's pretty confusing at times. Let me know if you need any help.--MONGO 08:15, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox Mountain
Can I ask that when converting mountain articles to {{Infobox Mountain}} (for which much thanks, by the way), you do not add links to USGS unless the mountains are actually in the USA? --Stemonitis 11:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Rocky butte from I-205 2003.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rocky butte from I-205 2003.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Templates
I think the admin superor for the WikiProject Mountains is User:RedWolf and it might be best to see what he can do to cleanup the last of the links to the template. I also left a note on my talk page in regards to the article you mentioned, but will head over there now to take care of it. Sorry about not being more helpful at this time.--MONGO 07:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I was searching the databases for the infoormation posted and nothing came up on the USGS register[1]...maybe I spelled it wrong or they use a different spelling...anyway, I'm about to turn in. I very much appreciate the hard work you are doing and I hope you're enjoying yourself. Maybe add a nice free use image or some easy commentary to your userpage...you don't have to say much, and I would discourage giving out any personal info...thanks again.--MONGO 07:19, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coombs test
I have done a rewrite of the introduction, which did seem a bit confusing. Please revisit the Coombs test page and comment on my rewrite. Snowman 16:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
