From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi there! I wanted to just welcome you to Wikipedia. I saw you have been editing a number of essays on the history and philosophy of science, a subject quite dear to my heart. Are you a student? In any event, welcome! If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help out, if I can. --Fastfission 02:37, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Yes, I'm a grad student just trying to get on record some of these things I know a bit about. I hope you approve of HPS article. It started as a list of academic departments but I'm hoping to turn it into a survey of the field. I just have to try to draw the line with Sc Studies.

Haha, well, one does their best. At one point I had started to write a more comprehensive history of HST but I got sidetracked and never came back to it. You can take a look at what I started at User:Fastfission/HST. If you're interested in working on it I can send you the Dennis article -- it's the best article on the field itself (in the USA, anyways) that I've seen, and I have a scanned copy of it. Let me know. --Fastfission 05:56, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (character of Rome) Merger

Why do you want to merge a fictional character with the real thing? - SGCommand

[edit] Moyes

I agree - it was written as a puff piece. I've given the article a reworking in an attempt to make it more neutral. Any thoughts? Rebecca 03:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nicolay - Nicholas

I would like to know where you research the "Nicholas" variations. Why the Nicolay variation is not in the list? Best regards. AN

[edit] Spouse of the Prime Minister of Australia

It isn't a public office, sure, but it's a reasonably high-profile position. It gives a good description of their role (as opposed to the more formal role of say, the First Lady of the US), and gives a useful list of who they've all been.

I would really disagree that they're not prominent in their own right, too - everyone since Pattie Menzies in 1949 (with the exception of Bettina Gorton) has been really quite well-known both during and after their husbands' time as Prime Minister. The lack of articles for Sonia McMahon and Tamie Fraser is more that they've been overlooked than any reflection on their notability. I - and I dare say numerous others - would also find it quite interesting to have articles about some of the earlier ones, although they might not have had quite the profile of the later ones.

[edit] Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis

Thanks for reverting Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis to the original version. However you wrote ch'tis as sh'tis in the English translations. I don't understand. The pronunciation is like the ch in English and there are far more English results for ch'tis (320 000) than sh'tis (665) - most of which aren't even about the film. Could you please explain?
