[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia

Here are some links I find useful

I saw that you appreciate policy links, so I thought I'd give you my standard intro. Cheers, Sam [Spade] 20:03, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] no trouble

I had that on hand, I provide it to new users. I saw you'd already been greeted, but you showed such enthusiasm for policy I felt giving you my welcome couldn't possibly hurt. I agree that the policy rox. Some of the users are expletives, and some of the descisions made by democracy (rather than by concensus) suck, but the policies are generally quite good. Glad to have ya, Sam [Spade] 20:41, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Correcting Grammatical Errors

If you are interested in correcting grammatical errors, please help in fixing all of the usages of fly common names (for that matter, usages of all insect common names). The common name for Tabanus sp. is "horse fly" not horsefly or horse-fly. This standard applies to 100% of true fly (Diptera) names and the converse applies to 100% of non-Diptera (ex. dragonfly, sawfly, scorpionfly, whitefly, firefly, etc.)

In addition, common names should be redirected to their appropriate scientific taxanomic level (ex. long-legged fly → Dolichopodidae {curently no page}; house fly → Musca domestica {currently Musca domestica is directed to the incorrect version of house fly, "housefly"}; fly → Diptera {right now they are two separate pages}.
