[edit] Welcome back!

Hey, great to see you back. You probably don't even remember me, but you helped me when I was new — you uploaded a photo for my user page (not the one that's on it now). I left your page on my watchlist and often wondered what had become of you. I've changed my user name (security), but we came across each other at Pope Benedict XVI. Cheers.

And by the way, perhaps you should remove your name from here! AnnH ♫ 23:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the warm welcome back, Ann! Gerald Farinas 23:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2016 Summer Olympics

Your many edits sound kind of surprising, because it's only 2006 (as opposed to 2008, which is the year I originally thought was going to be the year in which the choices for the Summer Olympics will be narrowed.) It must be evidence that Chicago will very likely be among the 5 cities that will still be possible candidates for the games as of 2008. Georgia guy 01:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph James Fern

"Not unusual in the native Hawaiian community at the time, Fern practiced bigamy and had three wives."

Where did you get the information that Fern practiced bigamy?

Victoria Kukahilihiapoaliilani is my great grandmother.

[edit] 2016 Summer Olympics

The picture you just added (which I believe was mentioned to be Houston's flag) must have some typo because of how it showed up when I studied your edit; it was just a rectangle with a red X in the upper left corner which as I'm sure you know means "It does not exist". Georgia guy 21:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Now, I practiced with the image name in the sandbox and it appears that the image with a flag and a star appears. Georgia guy 21:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canada Summer Olympics

There is a question about the Canada Summer Olympics that I wrote on the talk page of Canadian Olympic Commitee. Can you answer it?? Georgia guy 23:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lakeview, Chicago

My most sincere apologies for accidentally deleting the the reference section of the Lakeview, Chicago article. My browser has been giving me issues lately, where it will abruptly stop loading a certain section of an article while I'm editing it. I'm assuming the mishap happened while I was either reverting or correcting a certain part of the article --ShadowJester07 22:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diocesan Infobox

To the creators of Diocesan/Archdiocesan articles

I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!

[edit] New WikiProject Illinois Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the Illinois WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
