Hi, Efghij. Your effort of creating the X of Franks articles was certainly appreaciated but they are subjected to correction. Please read the top part of Talk:List_of_French_monarchs/archive_1 thanx kt2.

Probably well-meaning, but not a good move to start labeling King of Franks just yet. Triton

The Merovingians are quite a mess with thier Kingdoms of Neustria and Austrasia. For example, there where three Kings named Chilperic: Chilperic I of Neustria; Chilperic II of Neustria who was also Chilperic I of Austrasia; and Chilperic II, King of the Franks. Disambiguation of some sort is nesseccary, however it might be better to leave this to more experianced user, as I seem to have screwed up certain files (eg Chilperic I of the Franks). Efghij

I certainly would not recommend that. Wikipedia is built through cooperative discusion and work. Imagine if everyone leave articles that one's not good at to more experianced user(s), wikipedia will became a circus of a limited number of contributors in no time. So please Be bold in updating pages (please read). At the same time shaked up any emotion or gut feeling while not hesitating to challenge, improve and perfect the articles and pose questions. Many nice contributors are around. ;) kt2

Oh, one thing. Defend your idea in discussion if your opionion is evidently supported while still being nice and don't call people names. Wikipedia needs objective ideas, not emtionally biased views. - kt2

Hi there! Whereas I appreciate your simplification into Ancient_Uppsala (had it mind...), I don't quite agree with the complete outline changes you have made. Mind if I get into it again? User:Wilmer T


thanks for finding and adding the commissioners to the Mayors of Washington DC page.

You're obviously convinced that Karelian properly is to be characterized as a separate language. Then you maybe also could write an article on Meänkieli, which yet noone has dared to?

Wow. I knew not that many countries recognised Jerusalem, but I never realised it was few. Good work! Now that I have learned my interesting wiki fact for the night, I can go to bed happy!!! :-) FearÉIREANN 03:14 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi! I'm nerula the author of "transgenic plants" article. I saw in the changes that you tried to translate the title into italian. I'm sorry to not have done it by myself (i'm italian) but i'm new to the wiki system :-) I'm writing to know how to adapt better the ttle (Pianta maneggiata genetica) with another grammatically more correct (Piante transgeniche). Thanks!

Hi. What's the background to your intense editing of Counties of Finland and Provinces of Finland? Have you more authoritative sources than those given at the page, which clearly indicates that Finnish authorities have chosen the translation province where the Swedes have chosen county? Are you intending to follow up your changes, and change other references to "provinces" in Finland, for instance at Län? See for instance: http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Counties_of_Finland - but please note that other references most probably exist without linking.

What's your reason to repeated insertation of a Finnish name on Åland, when they actually have a perfect translitteration, i.e. "the Aaland Islands"? What use can there be for the Finnish name in an English text?

Maybe you think this is none of my business, but I actually think it is. I think the credibility of the Wikipedia project is at stake. Besides: Finland can hardly expect a fair treatment from abroad (see my recent note on Talk:World War II, if suppression of own minorities and autonomous territories is that visible.

Thank you for completing the list of governors-general of India. I don't have correct reference material, and it is a task I am very happy to remove from my list. Lou I 13:40 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Glad to see you added an alternate meaning to the term GTA. Awesome dude! Keep up the good work! -Snickerdo


I don't care about the example, but do you have some preference for the Middle East over the Sudan? --Tb 02:25 17 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Hi Efghij.

Any reason for reverting my (historically correct) changes on the Jerusalem article? Israel openly and officially annexed east Jerusalem immediately after the Six-Day War. There was nothing "unofficial" or secret about it. The 1980 "Basic Law" (effectively, an article in the non-official Constitution), merely reinforced this act.
