[edit] Thanks
Thanks for reverting vandalism to my user page before I got to it! --Richard0612 10:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My revert to Shakira
Whoops, looks like I got a little trigger-happy there. This VandalProof thing is so fast, I had to disable tapping on my touchpad when I use it. Thanks for catching it. Dina 11:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
Hello there, I'm just apologizing for my editing on the Constellation links. I should of understood and took time to read that this isn’t a place for advertising and I'll take that into consideration.
Yeh they are amazing bands, its great to try and get people together who love the same music. As much as I love Boards of Canada and other electronic artists for that matter I decided to keep with a theme of Constellation Record artists, but that might change in the future!
Again sorry for my mistake and thanks :)

[edit] Humourous
I really liked "the grammar freak and the descriptivist linguist in me are constantly at war"! I might use that, though I'd never claim it as my own. --Guinnog 01:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! It's good to know others have the same problem. ;) --Galaxiaad 18:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Space Invader
I've seen it referred to as both Invader and Space Invader. He seems to sign himself as just Invader, but others refer to him more often Space Invader. I've no real preference over what the article is titled, except obviously for the fact I chose Space Invader. Fine by me unless anyone else objects. --duncan 22:11, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Elliott Smith
Thank you for your kind words! I hope we can get him on the front page someday! =) Phorque 19:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hello
Thanks for your concerns. I think I'll just try to work things out directly with any interested editors as there are likely to be reasonably few of them, and working across a dozen talk pages at once is fairly inconvenient. I did take one of the largest of these categories that I could find, Category:Pages containing IPA, to categories for deletion to see what the consensus was on that matter. See [1] for some discussion on relevant issues. Christopher Parham (talk) 19:08, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
For your kind congratulations. Let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you. I still do a bit of AWB/RETF work from time to time. --Guinnog 20:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tofurky/tofurkey
If a page links to a redirect, it's not necessary (or desirable) to edit that page just to change the wikilink. See Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. I've mentioned on the Talk:Tofurky page that the redirect probably shouldn't be there anyway. -- JHunterJ 11:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. :/ I started doing it (when the move asked me to check for double redirects) and then realized maybe I shouldn't be, and continued partially just for consistency (heh), and partially because I was thinking tofurkey basically referred to Tofurky anyway, and so was a misspelling. (Though I did see the recipes, it still could be argued that those are imitating the Tofurky product — and besides, did people use the word "tofurkey" before that product, or is it a genericized trademark?) Looks like your comments on the talk page were made after I did the move. Anyway, now I believe you're right about the tofurkey thing and I think it was a good idea to separate the pages; I'm just trying to explain my reasoning so as to look a bit less foolish. :) Incidentally, Talk:Tofurky is still a redirect to Talk:Tofurkey. Though the comments there kind of pertain to both articles (really they pertain to the old Tofurkey), I assume the best thing to do would be just to remove the redirect. What do you think? --Galaxiaad 17:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

- Oops on the derelict talk page redirect; yes, it should be removed (I'll do that momentarily). Turtle Island has trademarked only Tofurky, although they have both tofurky.com and tofurkey.com. tofurkey goes back in the news to 13 November 1996 (Hartford Courant), tofurky to 7 November 1995 (The Oregonian), both in reference to Turtle Island products, so (I speculate) there may have eventually been an issue with getting tofurkey trademarked. <shrug> -- JHunterJ 17:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Who?
In response to this message: I'm sorry; I have no idea who or what "AMK" is. ^^; –Aponar Kestrel (talk) 23:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- ... oddly enough, I was on an anime chat on Napster years ago. That was around the time my laptop died, though, so I don't really have any logs to refer to; and Google does show someone around by the nick "AMKestrel", so I can't really say whether you're remembering me or not. ... um. Would there have been someone by the nom de share of "KhaosLady" on this chat? –Aponar Kestrel (talk) 03:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for making this article into comprehensible English. I've edited it slightly and checked that it's consistent with the Japanese article. -- Grgcox 12:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar
I do hope the reason you haven't got dozens of these already isn't that you hate the very idea of them! If so, just take it down. Best wishes, --Guinnog 05:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
