Wow, cool! Thanks, Joe. btw, where did you get that template/coding/whatever the term is? --torritorri 02:48, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goclenius’s page

Dear Torritorri,

Actually the Style Guidelines category tag for my user page is a mistake. (I haven’t been using wikipedia very long either.) I was trying to link to Categories:Wikipedia Style Guidelines, rather than trying to put my page in that category. Using [[Category:Wikipedia_style_guidelines]] doesn’t work—it puts your page in the category.

Glad to see you're a grammar and French fan. I work on Descartes, Malebranche, and other French philosophers, and I read quite a bit of French literature, especially nineteenth century, but also recent authors like Raymond Queneau and Georges Perec.

[edit] The 4400

Good catch on the beam/ball of light thing. Thanks for fixing my mistake! Travisl 01:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Toa Mata

Actually, the name "Toa Mata" has been confirmed by Greg in the past day or two. I referenced the source in the Toa Mata/Toa Nuva article, but to clear up confusion I'll add it to the Characters and Toa articles as well. Drakhan 18:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] *doffs hat*

Ello there Torri.. Just wanted to greet you since I saw you along the Eureka (TV series) edits and you reminded me of another friend of mine who has the same exact first name and so forth. She's more into The Hitchhiker's Guide though. DrWho42 20:20, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ellen G. White article

Thanks for helping out with cleanup. I have reverted the entire set of anonymous/PilgrimRoad contributions (along with minor edits in between) as they were Original research. However, in order to make it legitimate we must focus on referencing what is left so we do not have the same problem again. If you see any minor changes or substantiated changes that I reverted could you please re-insert them. Cheers, Ansell 02:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] iPod nano

Just a comment about your vote. The main issue of contention isn't the i in iPod, but rather the n in nano. Apple says the n is to be lower cased as it is with all of their products and that's what the move is trying to do is put it at the proper name according to Apple which is "iPod nano". Currently it is residing at iPod Nano. Gateman1997 03:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Could you please review you vote on Talk:iPod Nano? You appear to be suggesting that the article belongs at "IPod Nano" instead of "IPod nano". AlistairMcMillan 20:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California

Hi. Welcome to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Since you are in the San Bernardino area, one thing I'll warn you about is a very slow Edit war over the inclusion/deletion of some information about gangs at San Bernardino County, California#Gang violence. IMHO, what is really needed is to create a better written, better referenced replacement for the section than what the one anon is trying to add. On the other hand, the two individuals in the edit war seem pretty committed to 'their' versions, so the odds are both of them will not like any changes to the section. ;-)

Since neither of the editors has created a user account, it might be necessary to get the page semi-protected for a little while to get them to quite edit warring and start discussing matters on the article's talk page. User:Will Beback is the most active administrator involved in Southern California articles, so you might contact him for help and advice. BlankVerse 15:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
