[edit] thanks for fixing the apostrophe

Hi, thanks for fixing the apostrophe here. From your contribs I see that you do copyediting. I tagged Zinaida Serebriakova for copyediting on 11 May 2007, but no one has looked at it yet. --Jtir 09:50, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting the article. I never could have done that. Comments here.

Were you going to put anything on your user page? Your user name is red until you put something there, after which, you are blue. --Jtir 16:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Now you are blue. I put another note here. Do you know about watchlists?

BTW, you could ask your question at User talk:Cboncenne, although she hasn't been active since 2007-02-23 (contribs).

[edit] Answer

See my answer to your question in the Urania sloanus discussion page. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 23:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, and for pointing out my error. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 15:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A little help with latin

Hi, I have a question. Is "[1]" right? How should the word pupa be used? (You may not know, but I think you're one of the best people to help me on the subject). Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 14:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually my question is (should have been): Are both "Pupa of Cockchafer" and "Cockchafer pupa" correct? Is one better? Would "Pupa of the Cockchafer" also be correct? Thank you for the last answer. Pro bug catcher (talk • contribs). 19:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forebears vs Forebearers

Good catch on my misspelling of forebears in The Chrysalids article. It went quite a while uncorrected and I was none the wiser. Kudos. -- Rydra Wong (talk) 05:55, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moissac

Thanks for your kind remarks about the Moissac page on paradoxplace - I see that the link has been removed from the Wikipedia page as "spam" by someone less mindful than you - oh that the spam we get was this interesting. That, I am afraid, is Wikipedia for you ! Adrian 15 March 2008

[edit] Gas to gaz

Je te remercie, Awien. I don't know how I could misspell it as consistently as that: it's probably because I typed the name by hand, with the diacritics at the bottom of the screen, in the Tzara article and didn't realize it the first time around (because I was simply copy-pasting it so as not to type it over and over again). But that I hadn't figured it out as I was starting the article... Dahn (talk) 04:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

About the "oe"-"œ" thing - I wanted to use the latter, but I didn't know if it was regulated here. I mean, the French themselves seem to use it less and less often, and, back when I took French in school, they didn't even tell us about that character. But, yes, better to stick with the classical forms. Dahn (talk) 04:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merci beaucoup

Thank you for your recent copy edits on the article Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris (film). Your input is greatly appreciated. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

My pleasure! Have you ever seen the film? It is one of my favourites. I also liked your work in the Ne me quitte pas editing, too! Ecoleetage (talk) 00:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, some of the Blau-Shuman translations were inane, particularly for "Last Supper." I will keep my eyes peeled for more Brel-related articles to add to Wikipedia. Merci! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
