:I have no problem with what you write above. What I do find misleading is the bold part of your sentence: ''It was decided that'' '''''the country that won the contest would not host the next contest''''' ''to reduce the pressure on the contestants.'' You say that the winning country would not host the next contest. Logically speaking, this is not a true statement. It had been decided beforehand that '''the UK would host the 2004 edition'''. According to your statement, '''if the UK had won, it could not host the next edition because it had won'''. Of course it is true that the current winner does not host it, but that is something you don't know beforehand. I hope this makes it a bit clearer. [[User:Dhum Dhum|D.D.]] 21:45, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC) |

Hey, thanks for helping out Dhum Dhum. I hope you enjoy yourself here at Wikipedia. As far as Freedom (album) goes, the general rule is to avoid disambiguating until it becomes necessary until you really need to. Go ahead and keep it the way it is for now, and when someone makes the article on the Neil Young album, they can figure it out. Only worry about disambiguating if you need to, otherwise you're liable to make it more difficult than it needs to be. If you'd like to be part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums, we'd love your help.

Hello, Dhum Dhum. I am sorry, if I should have confused you with my edits. That was not my intention. I just did redirects to the page titles, that you have created before, so I hope, that you haven't had any double work. -- Cordyph
Re: Belgium towns
I think we might as well wikify the town links in the municipalities. Something, at some point, might put those towns on the map: whether it be a terrorist attack, controversy over a nuclear power plant, the birth or death of a famous person... you get the idea. Every town could have a 'claim to fame' -- they might as well have articles. In fact, you might find one or two of them already do.
Anyway, if every single town in the US can have one, so can everywhere else. -- Sam
- Might as well be a standard, I think. -- Sam
Also, many of the municipalities have town or cities with the same name: you've called them "the city of Tielte proper", for example. Should there be seperate articles for the city/town and the municipality? -- Sam
Could you make the town edits "minor edits"? That makes them easier to filter from the RC list. --Eloquence
The NIS has numbers for the population of all municipalities for 2002, maybe you should use them if you add any more of them. - Kurt.
Dear D.D.: Hi! There is an article that talks about autograph collecting, Its the article Autograph, and it covers basic information about autographs. Perhaps the best idea would be to merger Autograph collecting do's and dont's to the autograph article. But I dont know how to merge them, someone else might have to do that.
Thanks and God bless you!
Sincerely yours, AntonioMartin.
Hey D.D.! On the same line, sent the article on do's and donts of autograph collecting to the Meta, where it might actually be more useful because there, well, its a different site. Well, as unbelievble as it sounds, the article was actually neutral in a way: Most of the tips I wrote are factual, because ive seen over and over again, people jumping over celebrity cars, celebrities that hate to be surrounded and everything. Ive seen much worse of course. I mean its understanable that someone wont appreciate being rushed when eating, but Ron Harper of the Chicago Bulls, answers that he has enough kids following him, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith calls 911 and John Stockton of the Utah Jazz wont even look at a boy in a wheelchair if someone sks them for autographs.
Im not saying you were wrong by pointing out it needed any NPOVing or anything like that, of course :) .Im just saying that so you have an idea of how complicated asking for autographs can get these days and how rude some people can be if the autograph asker doesnt follow rules or even if he or she asks in the right way.
Not all are like that, of course, Muhammad Ali, Wilfredo Gomez, Tara Reid, Cyndi Lauper and many others always seem to be with a pen and a photo in hand when you see them.
Laterz dude! and thanks for the advice about the Meta!
Sincerely yours, AntonioMartin.
I don't know if you're sympathetic to this cause but. I need support in trying to keep football at football. They want to move it to soccer, please see talk:list of footballers. Mintguy 10:12 Feb 19, 2003 (UTC)
- Thank you for your contribution to the debate about football. I felt outgunned and needed all the support I could muster. Thanks. Mintguy
About Transkei, what I did was to link Transkei to Bantustan which had a list of other Bantustans. It made more sense to put the list there. -- User:Roadrunner
Hi DD. I've been playing with the table to try and get the best appearance see Kakadu National Park and Litchfield National Park. I really like your idea of including the picture. I'm also experimenting with images, and using scanned photographs from my own albums. A map locater would be a great addition and I look forward to seeing your work. Tiles 22:29 9 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi DD. Had a look at the table. It may be a bit too fussy with both the picture and the map. But it would be good to have both. I'll experiment. Where did you get the map? Tiles 21:12 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi DD. I picked up your comments and will respond at the weekend. Tiles 10:01 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi DD. I agree with all of your suggestions. The map locater should appear in the table in the same table row. We do not need "Fact Sheet" and I agree with your suggestion for the information in the table. It would be good to try and standardise the size of the pictures and the map locater . I'm still learning about sizing images so would appreciate any advice you can give me. I'll start amending the Litchfield National Park, Kakadu National Park and work away at the Northern Territory Parks. Tiles 21:51 13 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi DD. I do not entirely not disagree. The table width seems to be right but the 300x200 pixel size might be a bit small, it depends on the subject. I was criticised for the small picture on Kakadu National Park. Have a look at the Talk page. I uploaded two versions of the image. One cropped and the other full size. I do not have slides and am scanning prints. I'll try the suggested image size and come back to you Tiles 05:57 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)
What a good discovery! I'll "see" you there from now on Tiles 08:01 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Hi DD. I see you are online. Could you have a look at Litchfield National Park. I am struggling to get the image positioned to avoid an overlap on the table. Can you advise? I am about to leave work now and am going off line so a message on my Talk page would be appreciated. Tiles 05:47 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help, DD. I cropped the picture to get rid of the black line and resized it to make a better fit. Tiles 01:54 26 Jun 2003 (UTC)
The "foo" that I used in my edit summaries basically means "anything" or "something", so "foo language" means "whatever language" or "some language". There's a better explanation at foo. HTH! --bdesham 20:57 6 Jul 2003 (UTC)
