[edit] Yo, Bongwarrior... :)

Thanks for the welcome,

Having an enormous amount of fun with this - but I think I'll have to go to a library 200 miles away to get the info for a REALLY comprehensive "Eltham" article... Was born there - but not lived there in 20+ years. Am having problems today with URLs - the designated URLs for websites/pages are coming up 404 - and I know they're there... :(

[edit] Minor edits

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to January 22, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 16:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Country Music

I noticed you were having trouble adding your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Country Music. Your name wasn't showing up properly because you were putting a space after the vertical line character; the proper code would be {{user|Boethius65}}. Just thought I'd let you know.

[edit] Kiwanis

I've removed the Kiwani chapter links and the category from several New Zealand town articles because:

1. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Articles tend to accumulate external links, but often these do not meet our policies at Wikipedia:External links. Consider submitting the link to DMOZ instead.
2. The links you added were malformed, and didn't lead to the pages you wanted them to. You had an extra slash at the end of each link.
3. The category is for articles about the Kiwanis, not for articles on towns which contain a Kiwanis chapter.-gadfium 18:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fellow Taranaki history nut

Greetings Boethius65. You seem a most interesting person, I share Taranaki, history and theology as fav topics. Your librarianship seems to most certainly be helping make these articles informative for the amateur historian. Send me an email AJChesswas@maxnet.co.nz it'd be good to compare notes. Boethius is one of my most respected philosophers.A.J.Chesswas (talk) 23:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Library, Archives, and Web 2.0 Research Guide Template

[edit] Helen Clark

I'm not sure how useful the "Further reading" you have added to the article is. Please comment at Talk:Helen Clark#Further reading.-gadfium 06:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notes from te koroua

Hi Mike. I've posted an answer to your comments on my Talk page. I find it disorienting to try to conduct a conversation on two different pages. See you over there. Koro Neil (talk) 12:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

And again. Koro Neil (talk) 12:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I just looked for your email. I don't seem to have received it. I checked the Inbox, the Friends folder and (just in case) the Old folder, with items sorted by name - no sign of a Boethius or a Mike S. Koro Neil (talk) 13:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
