Thanks for spell-checking my user page. Enjoy your time here. Dave (talk) 17:39, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

There is, in fact, a way to add stuff to the end of talk pages instead of editing the whole thing. At the top of every talk page (both article talk pages and user talk pages, like this one) is a little plus sign just to the right of the "edit this page" link. It takes you to a page where you can append text to the end instead of editing the whole page.

As far as units go, I don't know much about what's preferred, but I don't think there's a way to automatically change them. I did find three links that might help you: these are the guidelines on units in scientific articles. These are the guidelines in general. This is a discussion among Wikipedia users about units. I hope this helps. Dave (talk) 03:21, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Remko Scha

Hi Guslacerda

I can't remember now how I came to hear about Remko Scha. I was adding pages for recipients of the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research. I must have come across him while searching on the web and decided that he merited a page in Wikipedia. I'm glad you approve! -- Etimbo ( Talk) 22:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I've done some digging and now remember what prompted me to create his page. I came across the article Plural quantification which mentioned his name without a link, so I added an article for him. I really can't remember how I stumbled across Plural quantification though! Cheers -- Etimbo ( Talk) 22:13, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Gustavo! I'm in Minnesota, and hoping to eventually find a better position than what I've got (this is an excellent university and the Twin Cities are an excellent place to live, but my current job has deficiencies). But I should point out that what I did on that article is just copy-editing. I do lots of edits that just bring articles closer to Wikipedia's style conventions. But I also create new articles, as you see from my user page. Good to hear from you. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

PS: I see that you're from Recife. Here's something I hadn't thought of before: that must be the easternmost city in the Americas. Michael Hardy (talk) 03:37, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olá

Olá! Por que você não participa da Wikipédia em português? E você tem algum blog em português? Responda por favor na PT.WP FML ^{hi me at pt} 16:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] hi

Hi. I found you in categories of users who can contribute in English and Portuguese. I myself am a native speaker of English, but I'm well on my way to learning Portuguese. Just check out my user page and talk page, and join in any of the discussions. To keep updated, you can even put a watch on my user page, which will automatically watch my talk page. :-) I see that you're bilingual (English and Portuguese); that is so awesome! learnportuguese (talk) 18:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
