Hot sauce

Oooh, thanks for the great work on hot sauce! Much improved. – Quadell 16:36, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Overlinking

You're way overlinking articles -- that's why I reverted your changes to poop. Overlinking makes articles hard to read, and linking words like via is simply unnecessary. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 19:15, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

• Fair 'nuff - poop gets vandalized a half dozen times a day, it seems, and it seemed to me like a vandalistic edit I'd seen before (linking every possible word in an article). Sorry if I acted hastily --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:10, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Harley-Davidson not Harley Davidson

Thanks. Misplaced Pages is always about learning. Maybe someone can make a bot to fix these too http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Harley_Davidson

User:Canadia

Hello, Boinger. The reason I haven't blocked anyone yet is that he hasn't been warned on his talk page yet. Please attempt to communicate with him on there; if he continues, please let me know. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 19:00, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Offensive Terms Per Nationality

Your terms for Canada are extremely perjorative. Most of these terms of rarely used and most are not even recognized by citizens around the world, let along Canadians. Please remove these terms immediately. They are offensive, pathetic, baseless, uncorroborated, mendacious and fallacious. I am in no mood to get into be banned over such stupidity. Thank you very much. Canadia

They are absolutely offensive. 'Offensive' is right in the title. I did my research, and I can corroborate every entry listed. I have to politely decline to delete the entries, they are used terms (however regionally or rarely) and, thusly, should be included in Misplaced Pages.

You say that you did your "research." Show it to me.

Aphex Twin

Thanks for sorting the Aphex Twin bits and bobs out.

Woodworking wikiproject

Hello, I have noticed that you have recently been making a number of valuable edits on woodworking-related pages. I would like to start a Wikiproject on woodworking if there is enough interest. Please reply on my user talk page if you think this is a good idea (oer even if you don't. I have taken a stab at a starting a wikiproject page in a sandbox page at User:Luigizanasi/sandbox. Feel free to edit it and to add your ideas. As soon as we have enough participants, I will start the project page at Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject Woodworking. This message has also been sent to User:Carders User:SilentC User:RJP.Luigizanasi 20:46, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I have started the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Woodworking page. Please feel free to edit it in any way. There is also a discussion page where we can have general discussions (I think discussions about individual articles are OK in their respective talk pages).Luigizanasi 04:56, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

World Citizen userbox, {{User world}}

Hi, I noticed the message saying you're a World Citizen, I would like to invite you to add {{User world}} to your user page if you wish to proclaim it in a more effective way, and this template will also add you automatically to the Wikipedians with World Citizenship category. :) --Mistress Selina Kyle 00:08, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Trixies

Frankly, I don't have the energy now to make Lincoln Park Trixie Society into a decent article. But perhaps you have the interest and the energy since you created it in the first place. Good luck! Crypticfirefly 03:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

List of unusual deaths

Hi. May I ask why you also reverted my minor edits? I hadn't contributed to the Poe stuff (and I am not aware of the particular topic), but, if you look at what was done previously, you'll see it was justified: "1867: William Bullock was accidentally killed by his own invention, the web rotary press" - instead of "1867: William Bullock (inventor), accidentally killed by his own invention, the web rotary press". (The initial version went against wiki policies, and it was also non-specific; I don't think the link was superfluous, since it indicated the "instrument" causing his death). Please put this back, and (if you feel like it) circumvent the whole Poe thing. Dahn 16:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
