[edit] Skylab patches

Got it, thanks. Other editors are sure to keep editing these, though, because of the obvious mismatches between the patches and the article names. Tempshill 19:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strictly

How did you manage to enter the result of programme 2 of Strictly Come Dancing into the Stephanie Beacham page, 15 minutes before the results programme started? I was looking her up during the programme and unfortunately stumbled on the result ! --Opentelemark 19:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spooks time changes

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that while I agreed with the other changes you made on the Spooks page, I'm sure that times are usually written as 9pm not 9 pm, so I've changed them back. Hope you don't mind. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 22:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, however the Wikipedia Manual of Style states that times should have a space between the time and the am/pm.--Whoosher 18:36, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I don't think I've ever seen times written like that, I've always seen them written as 9pm. However, if that is the Wikipedia standard, then I'm sorry and feel free to revert my edit :). ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 18:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

No probs, have a nice evening!--Whoosher 18:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broad chalke

Sorry. I hope that a delayed apology is better than nothing. I did not mean to be sarcastic, it was a brusque, somewhat gauche, slightly out of character, reflection of the (conceptual) time it took me find the WDBD site and picture etc - but I already knew how to spell his name.

[edit] Hi again; stuff

One other small claim to fame. I just remembered that I edited 2 articles of Hansen. He wouldn't remember me from Adam.

Did I make the UFO thing clear? Wasn't that dude in the discussion from 2006 on the money? The original sentence bothered me.

About the "ego" thing, you might know the old journalism dodge, "when in doubt, leave it out," which although ultimately good, takes a lot of the fun out of unsourced material. Is it time to whack that "ego" phrase altogether?

best,

shlishke

[edit] python head

I just saw you'r a pythonhead, and forgot to list the Buzz Aldrin episode? http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/episode17.htm For shame! Shlishke 07:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Astronaut bios

Hi! I happened to notice you have recently been helping maintain a couple of astronaut bio pages. Thanks for doing that! I wonder if you would be willing to help on some astronaut-related wiki-tasks? In particular, I have often wished there were a rational way to get astronauts (and cosmonauts, of course) into the queue for being featured in the "Selected biography" section of Portal:Spaceflight. Do you have a sense of e.g. which are the top 20 most "important/interesting/well-written" astronaut biography articles? I would really appreciate any help/clues/thoughts you can provide, either here on your talk page, on mine or maybe best at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Human Spaceflight. Thanks in advance!
