[edit] U-Dub
Two questions regarding pronouciation (please dont take offense to these, its not the point). 1) How do you phonetically say it, and 2) what is your cultural and ethnic background? By that i mean, where are you from originally. I have only heard it refered as U-Dub but that definitally doesnt mean that that is the only way it is said, so please let me know. And yes, U-Dub is verifiable, it is the unofficial pronounciation by UW officials/students/alumni, etc. Thanks.--Gephart 02:32, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] wikEd
Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.
wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus: • syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • more fixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages • convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjust the font size • and much, much more.
Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Often it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.

[edit] Talk page Edits
I reviewed the policy. You actually have a lot of latitude for reverting your own talk page. As for the other thing... I was mistaken. Nice talking to you anyway.--Dr who1975 06:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Waihee and Ben Cayetano
Hi, just wondering what the issue is with Dr who1975's edits. When then-Lieutenant Governor Waihee successfully ran for governor in 1986, Cayetano was his running mate. And Cayetano succeeded Waihee as Governor in his own right in 1994. So I'm not sure why "merging both boxes makes no sense," because his edits look OK on a factual basis. Thanks.

- Merging the boxes together makes the order of succession less clear, not more clear. Can you give any rationale for doing it that way? The only time that makes sense to me for using the "two to one" boxes, etc is when a single office or title is divided into two, or vice versa. I see that Dr who1975 is far from the only person doing this so I'm going to lay off him, and perhaps bring it up on Template talk:Succession box. Quadpus 04:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Warnings...
Hello, Quadpus! Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thanks! :) --Qwerty (talk) 10:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I nearly always do so. thanks. Quadpus 20:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] War on Terrorism
No sir, you see, that comment was exactly as I described it. It was both anti-American and anti-semitic. Wikipedia is not a place for kooks to have a forum. And second, do not revert my text, since I put it there for a reason. Judgesurreal777 08:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
