Again, welcome! 

I have reverted your edits on University of Ulster as Magee College/Magee University College never associated with the National University of Ireland after the Royal University of Ireland dissolved. Instead it associated with the University of Dublin and many Magee graduates completed their degrees in Trinity. See Talk:University of Ulster for clarification.

[edit] Page Blanking

On 29-Mar, you blanked John Ross (politician). Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've converted it to a disambiguiation page. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 16:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

Hey, just discovered you on the Progressive Democrats discussion page! Could you help contribute to the Quill (surname) page? I could only include information from my cousin's book and there wasn't a whole lot in it. Thanks. --Onias 01:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't have too much information, though I would like to research it as there are a few Quills that I'd like to know if I have any connexion to them. Our family is from Limerick. William Quill 15:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing brackets from dates

Please stop unlinking the dates in Opinion polling for the Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2008. The links are there to enable autoformatting: see WP:DATE#Autoformatting and linking. Wdfarmer (talk) 22:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah. That makes sense then. They just seemed a bit superfluous in the context of the article and there was no response on the discussion page when I did the first time and left a note. But that's fine in that case. William Quill (talk) 23:05, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm learning too, and may have corrected you too quickly. Now I see that implementing full autoformatting by including years in each date (which would be required to give a proper display if a user had chosen YYYY-MM-DD in their Wikipedia user preferences) would make this table much too wordy. I've compromised by removing the years except where needed for clarity in the Alabama section, but that still leaves it too wordy. It looks like the rest of the article compromises more by using forms like "January 1-5, 2007". I'll let this settle out for a while with comments from other users; see Talk:Opinion polling for the Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2008#Linking dates.
