[edit] Threat to Australian Flora and Fauna from WTO regulations
Why don't you re-write it?
I've got better things to do than muck around looking supporting references.
Do you even live in Australia?
I do, and it's well known amongst the Australian scientific community that Australia's quarantine regulations are being watered down thanks to the WTO's inadequate quarantine regulations and perverse powers.
Australia should of course leave the WTO but I know that's not going to happen...

[edit] doobedoowop
Hi, thanks for adding Wikilinks to the article Central African Empire. Just FYI, individual years (e.g. 1977) do not need to be linked. Some editors prefer to link them anyway, but the Wikipedia Manual of Style makes it clear that this is unnecessary. I hope you register an account and continue to contribute to this project :) -- Ynhockey (Talk) 12:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Years do not necessarily need to be linked. I like to link them; and in a lot of situations, they allow a point of referencce for certain events.--ZayZayEM 14:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Boğazkale
See my reply here. —Khoikhoi 06:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pygmies / Dwarfs
Sorry, declining to comment. Not certain if the PROD was mine (there was a 2 or 3 day period when someone else was spoofing my ID). In any case, as I understand it, PRODs die after a given time. If that article wasn't deleted, presumably the cabal want it there. -- Simon Cursitor
[edit] Scientific versus common names
Hi ZayZayEM. I feel strongly that species should go under their scientific name (yes, I know they change sometimes!). However, if someone else has created a page using the common name, and there is no conflicting common name in English (it doesn't go by more than one name), I leave it there. If it has more than one common name as many do, I think they should go under the scientific name. And if someone creates a page titled with the scientific name, it should be left that way (regardless of the number of common names). I hope you agree. (To see an example of the problems that common names can get one into, look at the Talk:Macroglossum stellatarum page!). Anyway, I hope you agree. Satyrium 22:01, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bridgewater
Please don't take offence, but I'd like to revert the changes you made to Bridgewater. Yes, Bridgewater Canal and Bridgewater Monument etc, are places, but they aren't places called "Bridgewater". Articles where "Bridgewater" is only part of the name belong in a "See also" section - see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#The "See also" section.
