[edit] Zacharias Moussaoui

I hope you won't infer from this note that I'm a pedant (or grammar Nazi, notwithstanding that I concede the latter in a userbox) or impute malign motive to my writing, but I thought I ought to note that the grammatical revision you made to the Moussaoui article, even as it might have been syntactically appropriate, was grammatically inappropriate, in view of its improper conflation of which and a restrictive clause (even as such restriction might not be plain) and, more importantly, of its ascription to "which" of "a sentence", where the antecedent is undefined. The sentence was correct as written, toward which proposition I adduce, inter al., Merriam-Webster, scilicet, defintion three. I readily understand the reasons for which you made the change, though, and, in order that the sentence might be clearer, I'll interpolate a semicolon. Cordially, Joe 21:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ascot

Thank you for your constructive and interesting response. I feel British contributors need to be a bit careful about English placenames from which other names are derived. For example, I'm aware of tension over the relative importance of Windsor, Berkshire, a town (royal and historic but relatively small), and Windsor, Ontario a major city. I'm hoping that Canadian and Australian contributors will comment - I note there is also an Australian "Ascot racecourse". Here, the racecourse is what people have heard of, rather than the town, so maybe that belongs at the top. CarolGray 10:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help Prevent Article Deletion: Religious Perspectives on Dinosaurs

Hello, I'm leaving you this message because I notice you've made at least one significant edit to the Wikipedia article Religious perspectives on dinosaurs. The article has recently been nominated for deletion from Wikipedia, and there is considerable support for that position.

I'm hoping you'll help me support the continued existence of the Religious perspectives on dinosaurs article by registering a keep vote on the article's request for deletion page. The article contains some good information, and represents an unobtrusive way to present notable minority viewpoints about dinosaurs that cannot reasonably be elaborated on in the parent article. It shouldn't be deleted simply because the viewpoints it presents aren't "scientific."

Thanks! Killdevil 03:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
