[edit] mnemonics

This is the other way around, really: I remember the acronym for the Seven hills of Rome (which I just added to the official List of mnemonics) very well, but only about half of the hills' actual names. — Aaron M. Ucko 19:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


How about one for remembering the EM spectrum?:

[edit] Stalactites / Stalagmites

I've always remembered these because stalactites have to hold on tight. —midg3t 08:52, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Stereotype threat

Thanks for the smart edit! futurebird 01:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Glad you thought it was thoughtful! —mako (talkcontribs) 14:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] stalactites and stalagmites

An elementary school teacher of mine evoked insects crawling up your pants, and what you would do about it, with When the mites go up, the tights come down. --ESP 02:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World, flesh, and devil

I think my main concern with the article is the possibility that there is a fundamental classical Christian source for the phrase that I'm completely ignorant of, so the article might be misleading if I didn't find it. So I think I should do a little more research. Schoen 19:36, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vegetarian

perfect! go ahead and add that statement, as well as cite your source. this is, after all, an encyclopedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Borislutskovsky (talkcontribs) 20:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] help with categories

I found this in Wikipedia:Categorization and I thought of you. I hope this helps...

If you go to the article from the category, will it be obvious why the article was put in the category? Is the category subject prominently discussed in the article?

Like I said earlier (look up), go ahead and put "Matt is a vegetarian", just cite your source. I'm not after Matt in particular (in fact, i'm kinda partial to him because i use Ubuntu at home), it's just that lots of categories have become polluted on wiki with random additions with no reference. I can just as easily update Matt's page and say "Matt is a happy carnivore," and it would hold just as much water as the other statement if i don't cite a source. borislutskovsky 21:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alright

Im sorry for vandalizing vegetarianism. The reason I removed the talk page is because of the orange banner that says you have new messages and this computer is used not just by me. But ill keep it since it still shows the orange note even when i deleted the talk page and its kind of unwelcomed in Wikipedia to delete your own talk page.

Cool? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.36.134.13 (talkcontribs).
