[edit] "Mysterious" redirect for Nancy Regan

You mentioned that the link to Nancy Regan, which you expected to identify one individual, ended up elsewhere. The problem was that someone made the Nancy Regan page a redirect (presumably assuming it was a typographical error). If you encounter this type of problem in the future you can "fix" it more appropriately by clicking on the "redirected from" link and editing that (making sure, of course, that pages which should link to the destination location link there directly). For now, since it appears nobody has felt it worth adding information about Nancy Regan to Wikipedia, I am sure your edit is fine. RichardJFoster (talk) 20:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry... I hadn't checked my messages for far too long! Clearly your initial edit was appropriate... I just wasn't sure (from your initial comment) that you were familiar with the redirect mechanism. Sorry for any trouble. :-) RichardJFoster (talk) 15:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hit me back

I replied on Talk:WTF#Newest_addition_as_of_now_.28.3F.29

Should I tell you this here? Still getting used to this wiki thing, even though I've contributed for what, 18 months?

Thank you for the reply, you did clear up some stuff for me, even dont you don't fully understand it yourself :) Then again, unless there is a written set of rules, anything that a majority of people do has to be considered correct. Oh, and thanks for "showing" me that a colon (":") pushes the line forward one space. I didn't know! Bobber0001 (talk) 18:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] engvar

In a recent edit to the page Phish, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. —  MusicMaker5376 20:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Definitely not a problem. Traveled (one l) is American; travelled (two ls) is British. Maneuver is American.... I can't even spell it the British way.... Perhaps you should add those to your list.... —  MusicMaker5376 20:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re Rutsey

Thanks for the heads up, I checked a few of the main Rush sites and couldn't confirm it myself, but your link is the first bit of evidence I've seen. Sigh, feel free to add it to the John Rutsey article. I'm not sure how to introduce into the main Rush article though. I suppose just parenthetical. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 16:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
