[edit] What?

Why the hell are you messing with my user page? OK, so I forgot that putting up categories would make my page appear in them, but there's no call for just deleting my personal information. Did you not notice the "User" heading? Esqg 03:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Scottish notice board

Hi. Have you visited WP:SCOWNB yet?--Mais oui! 14:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pete McCloskey

Could you please explain this uncommented edit? I see from randomly sampling a few of your edits that you generally know what you are doing, but I'm confused. His name is McCloskey, not MacCloskey. - Jmabel | Talk 07:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

That's about what I guessed. I suspect that there is no clear Wikipedia convention on this; there is nothing at Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#Ordering_names_in_a_category. I'd suggest that you start a discussion on the talk page of that page and see if there is a consensus. In the lack of one, I'd suggest sticking with the actual spellings of names (Scottish phone books notwithstanding): people tend to get pretty sensitive about the spellings of names, and in the absence of a consensus, changes like this could be an invitation to endless, fruitless edit wars (like those between people who write 1 August and those who write August 1). Please understand, I don't really care how this resolves, only that people duke it out in one place on the talk page of a project page rather than (potentially) flipping articles back and forth. - Jmabel | Talk 17:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Health Wiki Research

A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Our university research committee approved the project.

Thanks, Corey 15:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Succession boxes

Hejo, I have seen that you are currently adding succession boxes to articles of peers. If you have not done it yet, it could therefore be interesting for you to read Wikipedia:WikiProject Peerage. Greetings ~~ Phoe talk 20:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC) ~~
