[edit] Troublesome ISSN in University of Sussex

Hello Kieran. Recently I went ahead and replaced the difficult ISSN on the University of Sussex page [1]. Please see my rationale on the article's Talk page. It helps WP if we can gradually eliminate the invalid identifiers that turn up in maintenance runs. The current undergraduate prospectus seems to be online at the University's web site, but I couldn't find a current ISSN there. Perhaps they eventually gave up on the bad ISSN (though I have no way of knowing). EdJohnston 19:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know :) – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 12:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tunnocks Tea Cake

Great recommended articles on your user page Kierant. I fear I sound more grumpy than I actually am at Talk:Scotland and indeed regularly indulge in tea and cakes. Many of Astrotrain 's edits are helpful and I'd be more than happy to buy he/she/it a macaroon bar should our paths cross (what is an Astrotrain anyway?). However I was trying to be honest about my frustration and use mock-grumpy than maintain some sort of 'after-you-Claud' sham-politeness. Perhaps inadvisable, and thanks for your comments.

Thanks for replying. I see what you mean about sham-politeness, and heartily respect your honesty. The thing was, as somebody who didn't know you, I'd read your original comments as an attack on Astrotrain, rather than his edits, and I've seen a lot of that lately. He's not afraid of edit-warring, but I think his contributions are often good, and I don't like to see somebody become the whipping-boy. (I'm thinking particularly of the Royal Bank of Scotland article, where a user called Calgacus won't leave him alone.) Anyway, thanks again for getting in touch, and I'll bear what you've said in mind in future. :) – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 13:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
