You said you were going to redirect Macedonian Question to Macedonia (terminology). You didn't so I did. - Francis Tyers ยท 11:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An alternate theory

I undid your deletion of Bird article about "an alternate theory". It referenced, but sounds somewhat suspicious. Could you please explain why you deleted it? Curious:) TestPilot 01:11, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanx for explanation! You have totally convinced me. It is actually a good idea to respond on the talk page of the guy, but sure it is up to you. As to "how" - simply edit yr talk page. Ironically, today I read another story of new huge feathered dinosaur discovered in China. You might find it interesting - http://sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=25D2F86A-E7F2-99DF-3873E5C5CA34D5E8&chanID=sa003 . Regards, TestPilot 01:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. When making a major change like that while being bold is good it is also good to discuss the change and check with other users. I agree that the dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds, but enough scientists disagree that we have to at least mention dissent. We don't give it equal weight and we can further modify the paragraph, but please come and join a discussion at Talk:Bird#Alternative theories and Alan Feduccia et al. Cheers.

Sorry, haven't got yr question first time. Yes, the best way to respond to comments on yr talk page is to leave your comment on the talk page of the guy who wrote to you. The reason behind it - lot of guys have hundreds Wikipedia edits every day - and it would be unfair to expect them to check yours talk page regularly to understand if you replied to their question or not. On the other hand - some ppl do reply on their talk page. In that case they keep conversation clean and neat for 3d party readers - but they risk to be unheard by whoever they try to communicate to. I have never came across any formal policy or manual of style regarding matter - but would not be very surprised if one exist out there. Regards, TestPilot 03:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] triceratops

I love the triceratop dinosaurs.

I am often disappointed that most museums display their skulls with the back to the wall. This makes it impossible to see that the skull to first-vertebra joint was a perfect socket and ball joint. The base of the skull has a perfect hemispherical socket for the first-vertebra to sit in.

I spent decades looking at them before I saw the back of one. All that time I assumed but did not *know* that they would be able to quickly turn their heads. One glance and it is obvious that my assumption was correct.

Hi Nick!
I like Triceratops too. Do you know of the other horned dinosaurs like Styracosaurus, Protoceratops, and the many other Ceratopsians? Firsfron of Ronchester 03:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wheelset (disambiguation)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Wheelset (disambiguation), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
