[edit] US vs. UK spellings
Hi! Always nice to see a new face at Wikipedia - I hope you enjoy your time here. I'm posting this here to comment on your recent changes to High IQ society. It is Wikipedia convention where there is a spelling choice difference between US, UK, and other countries' varieties not to change to another variety without a good reason (see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English). 'Organisation' is an accepted spelling, and Wikipedia aims to be an international encyclopedia. It's not a big deal, but I thought I should mention it as some people are likely to be annoyed if you change 'organisation' to 'organization' in every article.

[edit] wife becoming a wikipedian
Well, I am not the expert on motivating people, but a wise father once tried to motivate me by not giving me dinner. Then requiring me to pay if I did eat. or if I didn't. Maybe you could try that. :)

[edit] Simpson's rule
You are right, the code you put in was for the composite rule, so it was a different code. An edit summary may be useful when adding things to clarify what you do. :) Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry if I sounded a little offstandish in my comment. I went back and read my comment and realized it could have sounded demeaning to you. I really should have put in a comment when I made the edit. Thanks for being meticulous Epachamo 03:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

- PS About getting your wife to contribute to Wikipedia, based on the example of my wife, I can say that it may be hopeless. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username?
I'm curious about where you got your username from, with it being a pretty common thing to hear in Venezuela, where I did my time as a missionary. I'm guessing your story is similar, but you had me wondering. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 23:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- You are right on the ball. I served my Mission in Caracas Venezuela from 2001 to 2003. I couldn't decide on that or "QueMasPana". I eventually opted for the first. What mission were you in? Epachamo 00:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

- Maracaibo, 2000-2002. Looks like I should've gone with ComoEstaLaMolleja, eh? Coincidentally, I spent three months in an area called Tia Juana — close enough. Thanks for indulging my curiosity. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 00:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

- I don't think so, sorry. It's been a while, so if I did, it was probably just a casual acquaintance. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 00:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent AfD
Hello. You recently participated in an AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taco Bell menu. The article was deleted but is up for deletion review here. I thought you may be interested in participating in that discussion. Ifnord 03:03, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tueeulala Falls?
Your image image:HetchHetchyWaterfall.jpg has shown up at Hetch Hetchy Valley, labeled as Tueeulala Falls. However, it does not appear at Tueeulala Falls. Is this actually the subject of the image? I've placed your talk page on my watchlist, so you may reply right here, to keep the discussion all in one place. --Smack (talk) 05:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I actually didn't put that label there. I didn't know that the falls did have a name when I posted it. My brother took the picture during spring runoff, so it very well could be a different waterfall. I will ask him the next time I see him if he knows the name of the falls.
