[edit] "Still Existing German Nazi Psychiatrists' Mindcontroller Secret Service"

That's the way she writes it; thus it is in quotes. Fred Bauder 02:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to create a User Page

Hello and welcome! You may wish to create a User Page. You can just click on the red "user page" tab uptop, or invariably also click here to edit. There is some interesting information on User Pages at Wikipedia:User page. Here is the list of Userboxes, and this is some Wikipedia information about Userboxes.

[edit] Your Jessica Lynch change came out as POV.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Jessica Lynch. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia.

I know you may think you made the article better with the change 13:10, January 23, 2007 ("rescued" denotes removing someone from harm's way - Jessica was in hospital, being cared for. One can't be "rescued" from people helping you, unless you use the word sarcastically.). However, I found that statement rather pro-Bathist and definitely POV.

Just being in a hospital may not be a good thing. There are hospitals — and there are hospitals. The typical Iraqi hospital of the time was probably not as good as a modern military unit. Furthermore, in some regimes, hospitals are probably places of "interrogation." The staff interrogate — then then treat.

If you can find more neutral wording, I will support it. Until then, the wording used by the media (which has always included "rescue") is safer. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pith helmet

As the article is in British (and not American) English, I have reverted your edit: connection -> connexion. Had you bothered to check, you would have found that this matter has been discussed before - and, I thought, resolved. Since there is no possible confusion, I don't know why you changed it. (Not that you're the first, but there is a history of this change and reversion before.) Please look before you do this sort of thing again ... and, no: I'm not annoyed, just slightly disappointed.

[edit] Song titles

Hello. Please be sure to leave song titles in quotation marks. Albums are rendered in italics. We try to maintain consistency across all music-related articles—more details can be found here. Thanks, and please feel free to ask any questions. --Paul Erik 12:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

You had rectified it even before I made the comment... Not sure how I did not notice that. Whoops, sorry about the unnecessary note above! :) --Paul Erik 03:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
