[edit] Thanks for correcting the White Buses article

Hi, thanks for correcting my English, I am not that fluent and it's nice that you had the time to correct various errors I made. I do however question the changes you made to dates and nubers. When it comes to dates, the style guide for Wikipedia says as follows:

"If the topic itself concerns a specific country, editors may choose to use the date format used in that country. This is useful even if the dates are linked, because new users and users without a Wikipedia account do not have any date preferences set, and so they see whatever format was typed. For topics concerning Ireland, all member states of the Commonwealth of Nations except Canada, and most international organizations such as the United Nations, the formatting is usually 17 February 1958 (no comma and no "th"). In the United States, the Philippines, Federated States of Micronesia and Palau, it is most commonly February 17, 1958. Elsewhere, either format is acceptable. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English for more guidance."

styleguide for dates

So according to that 9 April should be equal to April 9 if one try to write "UK English".

Regarding numbers I noticed you removed the separators, the guide says that "very large numbers can be divided up bu commas" [1] - the numbers in the article are not very large but as far as I can see around other articles here it's rather common to use the separator.

I will try to translate the rest of the article from Norwegian this weekend and I hope you can continue to correct my errors. Ulflarsen 17:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danish Speed skaters

I change it to Category:Danish speed skaters to match all the others in Category:Speed skaters by nationality. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tomas Gustafson

Hi, seeing you introduced a statement about the '83 championships in the article, could you take a look at my question on its talkpage? Cheers, Niels|en talk-nl talk (faster response)| 20:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Education in North Korea

You're right, I can't find any evidence that there is plagiarism in North Korea, although it wouldn't surprise me at all considering that it's surrounding neighbors have an identified problem with plagiarism. It is probably because the country is so closed that we don't hear of the plagiarism outside of it. Their communist so they have extremely tight control of the media. Anyway, I'm going to make sure the article is fixed. Scifiintel 13:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
