[edit] Jay and Silent Bob Template
I read through the movie section of your sandbox template (except J&SBSB as I keep meaning to see that movie, seen all the others). Looks good, although I would say the current entry for Clerks is a bit better. My only real advice is either you or an early editor overuses the comma a bit (I actually went through and copyeditted that before realizing I was on a sandbox template instead of the main article, d'oh). -Markeer 23:46, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikimeet?
Since you indicated that you live in (or are originally from) Pittsburgh, you may be interested in a Wikimeet I'm trying to set up in Pittsburgh. You may join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Pittsburgh. So far, we have 4 interested people, and we're hoping to bring that number up to 5 or more. Once we have at least 5 people we can begin discussing the time and location. (Note: If for any reason you do not wish to participate, simply ignore this message.)

[edit] Pennsylvania
You've made a number of edits recently to the Pennsylvania page, and I thought I'd stop by, introduce myself.
A couple of us have recently been making significant changes to the Pennsylvania article, trying to groom it for "Good Article" status, with "Featured Article" status in the back of our minds. We've tried to upgrade the references on most of the article, so that every fact stated is backed up by a reliable, summarized some of the content and moved it to its own pages, so that it can have the detail it deserves instead of being limited by being on the state page, etc.
Your edits have generally been intelligent and well-considered. You've caught a couple of goofs that I've introduced. Anyway, I mostly wanted to say "Thanks". ClairSamoht - Help make Wikipedia the most authoritative source of information in the world 04:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- The table in sports bothers me. The Wikipedia policy is to discourage lists and tables, and use text where possible, and that was a mammoth table, so I tried converting it to text form, but somebody put it back in. I reduced it in size so it wouldn't be so massive, but it can't go any higher because of that horizontal scenery, and it extends WAY below the sports section. So I moved the zoos and amusement parts into that section, and tried to come up with other text to keep that damn table from screwing up what follows.
- Racing is a bigger sport than football, baseball, or basketball, and it seems fair that if you list obscure pro sports like the Lancaster Barnstormers (popular here in Lancaster, but nobody else has heard of them) and lacrosse, it's reasonable to list ALL pro sports in the state.
- So it strikes me that we really ought to move all that data to a spinoff article named something like "Professional sports in Pennsylvania" where all the data could go that keeps the sports nuts happy, and in the state article, instead of having that table at all, we could just mention the major league baseball, football, baseball and basket teams, in text form.
- What do you think? ClairSamoht - Help make Wikipedia the most authoritative source of information in the world 05:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neil Fallon
This made me laugh my ass off. I reverted vandalism there, but evidently not far enough. Can't believe I missed that! Kafziel Talk 21:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it is an awesome beard, so I could see how you could miss it. "Country" Bushrod Washington 01:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Maker's Mark
If you will look at http://www.makersmark.com, you will see that they spell it whisky, not whiskey. --rogerd 04:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
