Hi mate, I'd like to get something done on the Football chant article, it's been dragging on for a while now. I think the comments on the talk page show a consensus to keep the article, but it's obvious that those sections not related to football (soccer) don't belong there. Would you have any objections to me moving just those sections into the cheering article, but leaving the rest? I'm going to propose that on the talk page. Do you mind if I move the merge tag to reflect that proposal? - N (talk) 03:17, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the correction to the two articles. As you seem to know rather more than I do about it, could you make similar corrections to the Ireland national rugby union team and Wales national rugby union team? GordyB 22:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I've added a comment to the discussion here about Wiki-linking from quotes. As someone who has posted to this discussion, I'd appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks. Carcharoth 19:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the arbor clarification... I obviously warn't aware of the distinction ;-) one deriving from Anglo-French and the other directly from Latin. So arbor "tool" is one of those Renaissance Latin loans. Best, JackLumber, 19:57, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey there. I searched through the edit history of List of IOC country codes and saw that you were the one who added the dates 1924 to 2000 for the historical code YUG. [1] I corrected this to 2002 as the country actually competed as Yugoslavia for the last time at the Salt Lake Winter Games (the name was only changed to Serbia and Montenegro the following year), but I can't find a source for the 1924 date. Another article, 1920 Summer Olympics, claims the previous Olympiad as the year of Yugoslavia's début. And, in any case, the country was only named Yugoslavia in 1929, being the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes before that, so I'm not sure YUG could be said to have been used before that date. I'm not even sure the IOC used country codes back then, as the article mentions nothing of the history of the codes and their use. Do you have any further information to contribute? Cheers.-- 211.28.181.102 16:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

As you requested, your username has now been changed from Joestynes to Jnestorius. If you haven't done it already, please remember to move your user page and your talk page using the "move" tab on the upper right-hand side of your screen. Redux 22:27, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Please discuss on the Talk page and get consensus before making BIG changes as you did. I reverted for the time being. Evertype 23:31, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
"Start of sentence" is insufficient. This edit decapitalized one cell in a table where all others are capitalized. jnestorius( talk) 18:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you've extended the article Three points for a win with a section ==Other points systems== . Wouldn't it be interesting to create a now article Football point systems or something similar, giving an overview of different point systems, linking to normal 2-1-0 and 3-1-0, and the various other systems, giving a great overview of the various systems, and their importance of populairty. This would keep the Three points for a win-article for what is meant for an extended overview of the 3-points system ? Regards -- LimoWreck 14:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Odd that the template worked and class didn't—I'll have a look at this. — Michael Z. 2006-08-14 20:59 Z
I just changed the table at

, from class="wikitable IPA"
. Of course this should not make any difference, but you never know. Please have a look and let me know if there's any improvement. —

Just to let you know I've finally fixed these categories for you. Sorry about the delay, the backlog on CFD is pretty huge at the moment :-( For future reference you could probably have got it done quicker by creating the correct categories yourself, and tagging the misspelled ones with {{ Db-author}}, which is designed for dealing with just such mistakes. the wub "?!" 12:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about the poor form and thanks for not flaming my talk page. I'm not going to re-add the merge request, but if you care to, I wouldn't mind.
While I see that you changed a category in this article, I don't see any point in removing the "See also" wikilinks that were there. This makes it more difficult to find associated articles and less productive for casual users who might not think to click on the category link (all the way at the bottom of the page) but would click on the "See also" wikilink if something interesting was listed. I know that as a new user I would not immediately go into categories. "See also" should be inclusive. I think this is a retrograde edit. Cheers ww2censor 03:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you can alter the content of the geohack page by editing User:Magnus Manske/GeoTemplate. I don't know much about cartography either, I just wrote a wrapper around User:Egils extension and put it on the toolserver when Egils server went bye-bye. It is currently being contemplated wether to integrate Egils extension into Wikipedia installations, abolishing the need for the toolserver. -- Magnus Manske 17:55, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
You seem like you have a lot a knowledge with respect Irish history so maybe you would like to comment on the historic basis of this term here Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-12-02 IRA 'Volunteer' usage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DownDaRoad ( talk • contribs) 00:01, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
To the article " Fatima" -- pardon me, but I think my version is much clearer in terms of choosing which disambig page the user wants to go to. If you want to change the wording, fine, but I would prefer that you did not revert to the old version which is unclear about the word "Marian" (which is, in itself, a totally different name and "Mary" cannot be turned into an adjective.) However, if you feel so strongly about it, then in the spirit of chanukah I will give you that edit. If you do revert it again, I am going to solicit another opinion. But I am generally averse to edit wars ... I don't care THAT much. - Abscissa 03:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
