[edit] Jay Pritzker Pavilion

I saw your commentary at Talk:Jay Pritzker Pavilion. Since you have more expertise than I on the topic, why don't you edit the page as correctly as you can. All the information on the page is referenced so that you can see the original source that I tried to use. It is on my watchlist.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:26, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. I'll try to get back there sometime and spiff up the section a bit. --MatthewLiberal 00:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] chatter from ManOnPipes

I just saw your contributions to the Mark Saul page I started. Looks pretty good IMO -- curious why the change between "Highland bagpipe" to "Highland Bagpipe"? I let MSaul know about this page via his MySpace profile -- said he'd try to send me more info to build the page up with, tho that's been a bit back... I figure he's pretty busy right now, what with trying to finish up his 2nd album and this GHB tuner. Anyway, I'm curious about the b/Bagpipe change -- my guess is that with the word "Highland" it becomes a proper name -- I tend to be better with punctuation than grammar ... and we won't talk about spelling ;D ManOnPipes 22:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

'Highland bagpipes' implies an adjective (Highland) modifying a generic noun (bagpipes), while 'Highland Bagpipes' denotes a specific instrument. Although pipers talk informally about 'pipes,' which is assumed to stand in for the cumbersome 'Great Highland Bagpipes,' I think it's more accurate to talk about 'Highland Pipes' in this context. Personally, I strive for specificity because many people do not know that there are kinds of bagpipes other than the Great Highland ones. Anyway, this isn't a big deal; it's really more my pet peeve. I did a little more work on the article, by the way. --MatthewLiberal (talk) 18:33, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit to stolen generation.

Thankyou. It was not on purpose. My computer did that automatically when I added the [citation needed] tags. And I do not welcome your patronising tone re: the sandbox.OzWoden (talk) 00:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Life, the Universe, and Wikipedia

I blame you for everything. Having finally made an account, it is now totally and utterly impossible for me to ever get any work done. Congratulations, you've dragged me down to your procrastination level... We should get married. --ShadowSpinner9 (talk) 22:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
