[edit] Meetups

Hola! Perhaps you might be interested in some of the Wikipedia gatherings happening near you: Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston. Jkbaum 17:27, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, maybe in the future. But I'm not sure I'm ready for that level of committment. :) Wayne Miller 03:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link repair

Many thanks Mr. Miller for repairing the link. Dr. Kamran Shaikh 08:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, you mean this? Sure, happy to do it. I'm working with Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation to repair links and clean up disambiguation pages. Thanks for the encouragement! -Wayne Miller 14:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Master of Arts

Please don't disambiguate "Master of Arts" in cases where there is no really appropriate target article. A 19th century Swedish or Finnish magister degree, or a medieval degree from Paris should not link to an article about a modern UK and US postgraduate degree. It is better to let these articles link to the dab page until appropriate target articles have been created. See my previous comments at Talk:Master of Arts. As you will notice there is a list there of articles (and there are probably many more) which now link wrongly because of earlier "disambiguation" work. Uppland 19:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. I'll go back through my edit history and repair anything I have mis-"corrected". --Wayne Miller 19:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. The issue of the changing meaning and status of academic degree titles is much more complex than one might think (as I discovered when I was considering writing something on academic degrees, a project now postponed indefinitely). Uppland 10:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two Turtle Doves

Really, you are two, er, too kind. Thank you! & Happy Boxing Day! = > Jkbaum 04:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Visionhealth

Hi, this visionhealth page is not COPYRIGHT. The information was used with permission, by the copyright owners of the Visionhealth site (of which I am one!). When the first Visionhealth entry was put on wikipedia, we oked the use of our VH logo, some images and the text.

Please lift this erroneous block, there is no violation here and you can prove this by emailing info at visionhealth . co . uk

Thanks, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.194.47.167 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC).

Hi. Thanks for the information. When I tagged the article, I didn't see that Wikipedia had permission to use the text. Since your message, I went to the Copyright Problems page (Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2006 December 13/Articles) and noted that you contacted me, giving permission (see here). I have also sent an email to Visionhealth as you suggested. When I receive an email back, giving permission, I will post it on the talk page, which will help matters. Unfortunately, I think the power is out of my hands for now — I believe that I'm not allowed to directly edit the article until an administrator looks at it. If I find out otherwise, however, I'll be glad to restore the article. -Wayne Miller 19:55, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your edits on Tom and Jerry

Thanks for your edits, I didn't realize I had made so many mistakes. Lbkid1700 17:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thanks! No problem. Personally, I enjoy going around Wikipedia fixing up small things — I figure it lets other people (like you) add more content and not sweat the small stuff. So don't worry about any "mistakes". I think you're doing a great job with all those T&J episodes. --Wayne Miller 18:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
