[edit] Oberlin

Yup, pretty much in denial that I've left. Signing with four tildes (~~~~) should leave a wikified name as well as a timestamp. Other useful stuff at the links above, or in the welcome message on your talk page. Eric's penguin 04:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tsonga's article

Hi Kray,

Looks like people are scrambling to edit Tsonga's profile lol. Just wanted to caution you on using "demolished". That is not very neutral and more blog-like. Hopefully there is not a revert war about to start lol

Indeed lol. That was a fabulous match, strongest performance I have ever seen in my life.

Take a look at my last edit - I just wrote a good summary for the match there. But I think people (anonymous ip addresses) are reverting it or about to revert it. They already did it once. This isn't a childish fight to see whose summary will be the article's final summary. But anyway, take a look and tell me what you think please; I don't want this to get heated with the IPs, but a summary giving no credit to Tsonga and just saying "he defeated Nadal" is unfair to him, and a different one was not written very well. Maybe I'm being childish now... Anyway let me know ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 10:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I hope it's a good one. If you want to let me read it first (not that I'm an authority, but so rude IPs don't revert it for no reason) that would be cool. Go for broke. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 11:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
So far, only a typo of an historically -> a historically. I don't know... do you have a synonym for historically maybe? from thesaurus.com? I'm wondering if that is neutral and possible needs a citation - why is it historic anyway? I guess anyone's first entrance into a Grand Slam final is definitely historic. So let's leave it there for now, aye? Only die-hard Nadal fans would revert that I think. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 11:13, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes it is good to discuss also :). Hey a question, and I don't know where to find this information. Someone removed the "Democratic" from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This is in reference to his father in the beginning I think. This is not the same as Republic of the Congo and now I don't know if this is true or just the person playing around. It was an IP by the way that did this. What do you think? Can you find out? ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 11:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
They are indeed different countries. Democratic Republic of Congo is the country which was formerly known as Zaire. Republic of the Congo is the country that has historically been simply referred to as Congo or "The Congo." It does seem more likely that his father would be from the latter, but without any evidence, it probably shouldn't appear in the article at all. ~ KRay 11:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't seem to get the tilde thing right... mine doesn't wikify

Hmm... alright, sounds good. For the signing, you have to press shift + the button right under the ESC button. unless your keyboard is different :) Do that four times together and it should sign with your username, time, and date. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 11:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 11:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
