Hi Mike :) I hope you like the place and choose to stay.

Some links that may be of use:

Hope we didn't get off on the wrong foot too badly :) Just a tip: with something like Custom controls, it's Wikipedia practice to create the article under the singular, if you want the plural you can say something like [[Custom control]]s and it will work the same.

Thanks :) Dysprosia 08:48, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Why are you changing back the redirects to have the same content as each other? Redirects are created to keep all the content at the one page, so it saves an editor having to make the same changes at multiple pages. Dysprosia 09:04, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Because I thought I had made a mistake and put them in the wrong page and I hadn't read your comments yet or noticed people were editing out from under me!!! One thing would be nice, if people would hold off editing until the original author can get finished with an editing session. <smile> Mike Schinkel 25 Oct 2003

Whoops, that was a mistake. I'll correct it. RickK 03:06, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

A slash in an article title indicates a subpage. Subpages are generally not looked upon with favor. RickK 03:15, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hi. Although I will bash US-centric articles, in this case I thought I was just clarifying the obvious context, but just muddied the waters - sorry. Just out of curiosity, why does it it use Roman letters, but the Greek names for them? jimfbleak 18:20, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

It's a matter of compromise; there's been quite a bit of discussion on the talk page about external links, in particular the negative ones. (If we kept all of them there would probably be around 40-50 by now.) In removing I was trying to find the one that I thought had the least lasting power from a historical perspective; after all Letterman does a top-ten every week. :) - Hephaestos 18:30, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Over at Inheritance (computer science) you commented out the CSS example as a poor example of inheritance. You're right when I think as a C++ programmer but it's a pretty good example of the range of different uses of the word in CS and the article can benefit from comparing and contrasting the different uses and meanings. Any chance of you expanding on your thoughts in the article itself, doing that some of that compare and contrast job? Little details like all of the exceptions to inheritance and such...:) JamesDay 12:52, 27 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Visual Basic Classic Wikibook

I see you have contributed to the Visual Basic article on Wikipedia. Any chance you would like to join in editing the wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Visual_Basic_Classic? --Kjwhitefoot 09:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please dont do that...

Please don't create articles that primarily consist of links to external sites. Syrthiss 12:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
