[edit] Ontario

Thanks for sourcing and restoring the info on Ontario's famous people. Happy wiki-ing, --Rockero 20:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cheonggukjang

Thanks for mr help at Cheonggukjang. However, shouldn't the third syllable start with a "ch," not a "j"? And the second syllable start with a "k," not a "g"? Badagnani 17:57, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I was talking specifically about M-R, not RR -- you have Ch'ŏnggukjang but according to the Wiktionary entries for the hanja it should be spelled Ch'ŏngkukchang (with initial "k" for second syllable and initial "ch" for third syllable). Badagnani 18:15, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. Wow, that is complicated. Glad you have that reference book handy. I'm learning both systems via Wikipedia and didn't realize about all the exceptions. I thought you could just look on Wiktionary under the hanja and follow whatever it says for the romanization there. But the hyphenations, apostrophes, changes of letter depending on where it occurs in the word, etc. is complicated. I've found only one such exception in RR, the use of final "k" instead of "g" as in "gagok" (should be "gagog," but it isn't). Badagnani 18:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caló

Thanks for your additions to the list. But in case you haven't seen the discussion on the associated talkpages, we are trying to keep the list to words and phrases used by the historical Pachuco subculture (that is, we are trying to avoid slangs words and expressions that are found in normal Mexican Spanish or today's Spanglish). I realize that the list is not in the best shape at the moment, but I may have to remove some of your additions (and some others) to keep items on the list within its agreed-upon scope.--Rockero 17:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Do you ever come to the Daegu KOTESOL meetings at KNU? -- Visviva 10:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I missed the Cheonan conference but plan to make it to the International. Maybe I'll see you there. Daegu's one of the best and most stable KOTESOL chapters. I would definitely recommend dropping by, whenever you have a chance. Cheers, -- Visviva 14:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cuisine group

Hi again,

Just wanted to invite you to join the cuisine working group, since that's an area of interest & expertise for you. Thanks for all your contributions! Cheers, -- Visviva 04:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bugs

Hi Merkurix,

I do have some bug books, but am away from them presently; will check back in a few days. Cheers, -- Visviva 16:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, to my eyes this looks a lot like Riptortus clavatus Thunberg, a species of bean bug in the family Alydidae. See Google images. Note the saw-toothed hind legs, from which it takes its Korean name 톱다리개미허리노린재 ("saw-legged ant-waisted bug"). It favors the flowers and fruits of legumes, is 1.4-1.7 cm long, and is usually found in late spring, summer, or fall.
If that doesn't seem quite right, my bug book* notes that Megalotomis costalis Stal looks very similar, but is somewhat darker and shorter (1.2-1.5 cm). See image results for M. costalis.
Hope that's helpful, -- Visviva 08:30, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, the Laboratory of Insect Biosystematics at Seoul National University runs a message board where you can ask insect ID questions. --Kjoonlee 02:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Cocktails

Hello. As a professional bartender (at least according to the userbox you added) you might be interested in the WikiProject Cocktails. It is a group of people at Wikipedia working together to improve the quality of information related to mixed drinks. Having more people participate who really know the topic from a professional point of view would be terrific. Please consider becoming an active Participant. Also, if you are interested, a name change is being considered for the WikiProject from Cocktails to Mixed Drinks, and you can add your opinions to the discussion and vote. I hope to see you around. --Willscrlt (Talk|Cntrb) 04:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
