[edit] Happy New Year!

Hello, I am Typesetter, and I am a book publisher and Wikipedaholic.

[edit] Clear

see Wikipedia:Useful styles. The "clear" style guarantees a previous image or floated table/infobox can't shove the template to the side. It's practically standard for infoboxes, but many creators of 'boxes don't actually know about this property, and so don't use. I spent a lot of time adding it to templates.

[edit] Colon sign correction

I like your meticulousness! Too bad the colon sign doesn't show on many computers. You do know that the cent sign is often used as a substitute. DBlomgren 13:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images aren't allowed in user pages

You will need to remove the image fair use image Image:Taichung City flag.gif from your user page. Rule #9 of the fair use rules doesn't allow them in the user namespace.

BTW: Your currency images are in the gray area. You might want to ask what to do about them at the policy portion of the Village Pump. Please let me know what they tell you or send me a link to the section that you ask in. Will (Talk - contribs) 01:00, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

They are on the top right of your user page. It is not whether you uploaded them; it's where you use them.

[edit] Two dollars bill

I noticed you've used as an example of omitting the plural from the names of coins and banknotes "2 dollar bill". I agree that one hears this but I'm not convined it has any foundation in correct English, British or American. The Concise OED does not list dollar as having an irregular plural. In particular, I'm uncomfortable about applying this notion to examples such as eyrir/aurar without a good linguistic foundation. I know it's a bit pedantic but I have been thinking about this as I've been writing and I reckon we ought to decide what's right before we write too many more articles.
