Fredrik, before you start asking for help on your new mega-cool-and-whatnot writeup, make sure you have something to show first (text, a stub, etc.). Keep in mind we've already seen thousands of upcoming writeups that actually never got done.Fragglet 12:31, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] On the Moon

I noticed that you have been changing the spelling of the plural of Octopus from Octopi to Octopuses. Are you sure about this? I'm pretty sure the plural word for Octopus is Octopi. Thanks, CaptainVindaloo t c e 23:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, sorry it took me a while to reply. I got about 80,000 messages while I was offline and must have just missed yours. Ok, i'll leave your spelling alone, although according to the Wiktionary article, both spellings are endorsed by a few different dictionaries. Any idea which dictionary is used on Wikipedia?

[edit] Rift stuff

Hi - I just reversed your move of rift. It seems that you left about 100 articles linking to a disambig page, and as virtually all were geological articles it seemed easiest to create rift (disambiguation) and restore rift to its geological usage. Cheers, Vsmith 00:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RFID legislation

I pulled that info (and continue to collect info) from a number of sources. It's been a while since I first entered it so I don't really remember from where exactly I gleaned it. Grika 17:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attack

Sorry but that person said that I replaced a picture of a non-US aircraft carrier on a page about supercarriers when the U.S. is the only country with supercarriers.

[edit] What's happening on Doom Wikipedia?

Hi, I'm Afullo, I got banned, probably for a wide range ban, from Doom Wikipedia:

Questo nome utente o indirizzo IP sono stati bloccati da Splarka. La motivazione del blocco è la seguente: :Vandalism Se lo si desidera, è possibile contattare Splarka o un altro amministratore per discutere del blocco.

Si noti che la funzione 'Scrivi all'utente' non è attiva se non è stato registrato un indirizzo e-mail valido nelle proprie preferenze.

Si prega di specificare l'indirizzo IP coinvolto ("ip address, if you need it i'll send it to you in private") o il numero del blocco (ID #198) in qualsiasi richiesta di chiarimenti.

Could you kindly do something about that? I didn't spam, and surely i didn't make vandalism.

I'm not registered here (on English Wikipedia), in case try to contact me on Doom Wikipedia or Italian Wikipedia. Thank you in advance.

[edit] Slovio AfD, take 2

Hi there,

You may want to know, that i re-nominated Slovio for deletion. --Amir E. Aharoni 13:12, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References on Quantum Mind

Ey Up Fragglet,

(Yorkshire alternative to Hi)

That looks like a mamoth edit to Quantum Mind. Although I'm still a bit of a newbie, may I suggest that you could do your edits in smaller chunks. It would make it easier to see what you have done.

The introduction to Quantum Mind doesn't seem right to me. Roger Penrose, for example, has written three books which refer to Quantum Mind, Stapp put MU.PDF out some while ago. And the Quantum Consciousness conferences organised by Hammerof and Chalmers were very popular (though possibly, some suggest, went a bit downhill). It can't be correct to say that proponents haven't put their hypothesese out for peer review.

Best regards, Davy p (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I see that you fixed the references; and it must have taken quite a bit of work. It was rather difficult, on my browser at least, to scan though and see what you had changed. Myself I'd probably have made a number of mistakes. Sorry if I didn't make this clear.

My mention of the introduction (above) was because you seem to have been trying to get the article into better shape. Davy p (talk) 21:16, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Apologies, I still didn't make myself clear. a) Great work in fixing the references; this has improved the article. b) As you have been through it with a toothcomb fixing the references, what do you think about the introduction? Davy p (talk) 00:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
