[edit] Philately WikiProject

Your edits to Postage stamps and postal history of Palestine prompt me to tell you about the Philately WikiProject which you could join if you are philatelically knowledgeable and interested. Thanks for your input. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 21:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. thanks for helping out with the Palestine article. Would be glad to talk to you more about why I think the overview (Israel and Palestine) article is useful, given the complex history and postal authorities for the area. Thanks. Feel free to reply to my Talk page. HG | Talk 21:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I am happy to see you joined up, so welcome to the Philately WikiProject. Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute lots to the existing ones as we need that. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 21:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PNA postal and postage

Hi again. Thanks for adding more info to the PNA article. Hopefully I'll work more myself on this set of articles within the month. Be well, HG | Talk 13:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

P.S. If you are willing and interested, you can put in an email address (under "my preferences") so that other editors can contact you that way. (You can set up an anonymous gmail or other forwarding account for this purpose.) Let me know if you decide to do so, ok? Take care, HG | Talk 14:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Israeli POs

That was an interesting edit on List of postal services abroad, classifying Israeli POs in Palestine as POs abroad. I am not so sure many Israelis would agree with that! ;)> ww2censor (talk) 21:41, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Whether some Israelis agree or not: post offices controlled by Zahal or Israel Post in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, Golan, and Sinai are just that (as it says in the intro of that page): "occupying military powers to establish postal services in the occupied country." I don't think any reasonable mind can object to that. Let's see whether a discussion opens....Bleddynefans (talk) 07:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation pages

Just to spare you some trouble in the future, when editing disambiguation pages (such as Grass (disambiguation)), be sure to follow the manual of style guide. Full links should be visible, and pipes should be avoided. See MOS:DAB. +mt 17:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor item

Greetings. In the Postal History article, I noticed this: "All postal facilities had the status of relay stations, and letters received their postmarks only at the Beirut post office. Markings from Djebel Lubnan have also been discovered, and are believed to have been issued by a relay station at Staura (Lebanon)." I added emphasis on "only" because it seems to be incorrect, since the following sentence shows that another office also used postmarks. But perhaps I'm missing something? thanks, be well, HG | Talk 03:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
