- Sorry but I don't have the time to argue it with you. I suggest you re-read it then and make sure you fully understand what it means because if someone is referring to something that you have said then it shouldn't be aimed back at them. Bluntly, if you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything. --WikipedianProlific(Talk) 18:54, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application
Dear JonONeill,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that not enough mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

[edit] Manchester City F.C.
From Talk:Manchester City F.C.:
This article, being about a British football club, is written in British English (following the recommendation by the Manual of Style on the relevant variety of English to use in an article). As a result, it uses the discretionary plural, namely that collective nouns such as club and team can be used in either the singular or the plural. Generally, in British English media, sporting teams are referred to in the plural. Consequently, this article refers to the club in the plural throughout, for consistency's sake.
This is notably different from American English, where sporting teams are always referred to in the singular. However, in British English it is perfectly grammatically correct to use the plural and this should be borne in mind before jumping to conclusions about inappropriate subject/verb agreement.

- But then I just saw you're from Essex... perhaps I ought not to jump to conclusions about nationality ;-) Oldelpaso 17:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
