[edit] List of largest US universities by enrollment
where did you get your University of Minnesota figures? They include non-degree students in the count, which are neither undergraduate nor graduate students. Rkevins82 - [[User talk:Rkevins82|TALK]] 21:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- RE: University of Minnesota figures, I got all the numbers and rankings from the Nov 14, 2005 edition of the Columbus Dispatch. Front page. Maybe I should have cited my source, but data from the previous years hasn't been cited, either. Thanks for fact-checking me -- Wild Goose 22:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for updating those. Do you think we should include or exclude non-degree students? I would vote for not including. Are you a Columbus native? You have made some good edits on area attractions. Rkevins82 - [[User talk:Rkevins82|TALK]] 00:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- If you can find accurate numbers that do not include non-degree students, by all means, make the appropriate edits. And yeah, I've spent most of my life here in Bustown. Go Clippers! Wild Goose 13:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page Blanking
On 11-Feb, you blanked Ninja Turtles Character Guide. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. In cases of duplicate content, you should use a redirect. I have redirect this page to List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 14:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oop, my bad. Thanks for fixing it for me.Wild Goose 16:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- You're welcome. -- JLaTondre 17:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Onion revert
I'd like to commend you for the hilariously-titled revert on the American Revolution article. You are a true patriot.--Daveswagon 21:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TMNT
"Borne" is indeed, the past participle of the verb "to bear", as you point out. I assumed it was supposed to be "born" as in birth, not "borne" as in carry. I think your subsequent change makes it clear though - thanks for the welcome.--Kitty Davis 22:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:AUT 0345.JPG
Just to give you the heads up, your photo of a National Road mile marker has an obsolete tag on it. On the photo page, there is a tag that lists what new tags you should use instead. Please update this so the photo is not deleted in time. Thanks! -Hoekenheef 21:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the heads up. I think it's fixed now. --Wild Goose 23:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wild Goose Chase
Glad to see you had a ganda at The Wild Goose article. Now you are famous :-) Ghostieguide 06:09, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Translation, please do not dump incoherent, machine-translated text into Wikipedia articles. An unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing. BuddingJournalist 05:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- My bad. I was not familiar with that guideline. Thanks for the note. --Wild Goose 05:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
