Hi Paul - thanks for bringing my attention to the possibilities of this site - Gareth

Hello, Cheeky!

Hi Paul. Re me changing "the format 1st Janurary 1900 to 1 January 1900" on Hello, Cheeky, see style. In think 1 January looks much cleaner that 1st January. Incidentally, I have always used/preferred January 1 to 1 January, but wiki style has it either way, and it doesn't get up my nose these days :) Moriori 03:36, Apr 5, 2004 (UTC)

Hello. Can we discuss the sphericon business on Talk:Möbius strip, rather than you just putting it back on the page?

[edit] InSAR article

Helloooooo there. Have a link to my InSAR page, so you can nitpick my grammar to your little heart's content. Eve 21:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] CESM

We're talking about the sentence "It is seen by some to be very ironic due to the crucial role the French played in the American War of Independence." The question I asked myself is "by whom is it seen in this way as ironical". The page over the years has seen many conjectures on the reason/meaning of the French part of the saying. So mainly, I pulled it because it is an assertion for which I must doubt that there is any objective basis. Further, it was added to the lad paragraph. That means it should be one of the most important things about the phrase. Even were the assertion to be provable - such as by citing the MORI poll in which people 'fessed up to thinking about the war of independence when presented with the phrase - the sentence would have been better added to some subsidiary paragraph. Happy to discuss further, if you want. --Tagishsimon (talk)
