Wikithanks to you for answering my question on the reference desk for language! Even Wikipedians who have been around for a while have questions. --Gray Porpoise 18:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Technical question about your answer on the Ref Desk

Hi there! I was browsing the ref desk and came across this: Wikipedia:Reference desk/Miscellaneous#Raw Spinach and your teeth. My question: is there a trick to searching the Ref Desk archives? Or do you just know all the ref desk history by heart? Any tips you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :) — QuantumEleven 08:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Aah - I see! Well, you memory is impressive ;-)

In case it may prove useful, I tinkered around with Google for a bit, and I think that you can get it to search only the Ref Desk archives by adding site:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk_archive to the search, for instance: [1]. It seems to work.

Thanks again for the tip! — QuantumEleven 12:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Place name in Nepal -- thanks!

Thanks for your response (to my query on the Reference Desk) - - it's pretty far off phonologically, but offers another alternative suggestion. I'll update if/when I get a confirmed answer. -- Deborahjay 15:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] HeartattaCk

Would you be able to lend a hand on either contributing reliable sources for this article or providing your opinion on the corresponding AfD? PT ^(s-s-s-s) 00:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long jump

Thanks to your research, I got the answer and discovered a damn good site ! Tintin (talk) 06:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the brussel sprouts (I'm glad I can't eat them). :-) | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 10:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kipling Joyce quote

Thanks for finding the Joyce quote on Kipling. I had heard it many years ago, but couldn't remember the exact words. So, I left it in with a "citation needed" tag. Very glad you found it! Sanjay Tiwari 21:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey MeltBanana, Can I suggest that you hyperlink your signiture to your userpage? It just makes things a lot easier trying to contact people. If you decide to take my suggestion and need to know how, drop me a line.martianlostinspace 15:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Miniature painters

This has now been split between Category:Manuscript illuminators (with sub-cat for Persian miniaturists) & Category:Portrait miniaturists, & tagged for a speedy deletion. As the creator, back in 05, I'm letting you know. Johnbod 04:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the isles of ken

What an excellent beatles site. Perry-mankster 09:26, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canterbury Tales

Yes, it does appear that the Host is referred to as "Herry Bailly" by the Cook - thank you for pointing that out. Still, considering that he's referred to dozens of times as "the Host" and only once, in passing, by a name, I think the articles read better without naming him - I'd be reluctant to revert my edits. (And I certainly don't think much of the "updating" of his name to "Harry Bailey"). Cheers --Hyperbole 04:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the three princes of serendip

please excuse my technical ignorance. i am a bit of a luddite, a quality of which i am neither proud nor ashamed. i happened upon your page thru a series of confounding coincidences, and i enjoyed your quotes very much. i have never heard melt banana before but they are playing in my town this week and i am very excited to see them. that is all. thank you. ~sheisspace

[edit] Please help save Repo Man movie article

Howdy MeltBanana!

This guy, Dædαlus, is in there trying to remove parts that you, I and many others contributed to the Repo Man article. Please add to the bottom of this thread on the Repo Man talk page that you think the "Notable Motifs" section should not be blanked (erased), but left as is since the Pulp Fiction article also has a "Notable Motifs" section that isn't being considered for removal at all (even by Dædαlus himself).

While I agree that the "Notable Motifs" section could use some work, it certainly won't help the article to delete the whole thing and erase all our work which consists of many multiple contributers over a course of years. I'm willing to work on it and better incorporate it into the article, he just wants to delete it all!

With consensus, we can stop this guy from deleting all our work soon!

Thanks in advance. Cowicide (talk) 02:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FYI William Keane

I've changed William Keane from a redirect to a disambig. Since you created it I figured you might want to know. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
