[edit] Tire iron article
Hello. Why did you add a "wikify" tag to the tire iron aricle? What layout changes do you think need to be made to the page? I'm new here, but it looks okay to me. Thanks.Doctormatt 06:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I am still a new user :-) Perhaps I added the {{wikify}} tag to the wrong article. Have you seen the Recent changes list? It seems that Wikipedia receives dozens of edits a second, and for that reason, I have to get used to editting the right article. But thats my fault. Sorry. NOVO-REI 06:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flowers for Algernon
Yeah, sorry, I had forgotten that I had added it before. (If you want a whole story-like explanation, just ask me, but I think that is all you really care about.) Cbrown1023 20:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oxnard Airport
Being a public website owned by the county there should be no copyright issuss seeing how its a public goverment website. I have taken many flights out of Oxnard to LA and there is a cat there named Mindie, or at least thats what everyone at the airport told me the cats name was and that it had lived there for many years. --Kylehamilton 05:11, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Derivative
Thank you for your note, Professor Matt (as I hope that I have correctly inferred from your User name). I feel honored to have earned a personal reply, my (possibly) second of the day from a (possible) mathematician. (The first is immediately above yours, and possbly not without independent interest.) Still, its content suggests that you not have had a chance to peruse the Talk Page for the above (last section [before[ the the bottom [section] where I responded to someone else who also alluded to my Edit). I did suggest an Edit there if anyone would be unclear about the reference in the link. I hope that the last section there might also catch your eye. Sincerely, Thomasmeeks 19:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. I did light edits above in [square brackets] to reduce ambiguity. As I care about your edit (& mine), I would be grateful for any response by you. If I don't hear from you in say 3 days, I hope you would not mind my editing your edit of my edit. Thomasmeeks 21:18, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- P.P.S. Thx for your quick comment on above TP. Well, I did [c]ite a dictionary use of 'represent' that does not seem overly complicated. I'll assume you prefer TP of Derivative unless you indicate otherwise. To paraphrase Quine quoting Sherwin-Williams, cover the surface and you cover all. Translating, I'm simple but not overly so. So, please don't look for depth when such is not intended. On the other hand I hope nothing is overloked in informal discourse that we all use. The missing link is what edited out of the article as to the Wiktionary definition #6, which is referred on TP. That definition seems unproblematic to me. Thx.

[edit] Flowers for Algernon references
Please don't refer to honest contributions as "hacks". Mackan 08:59, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- [reply added here and on Mackan's talk page] Hack: "to cut or shape by or as if by crude or ruthless strokes". To me, this is what your edit appeared to be. You cut most of the entries, leaving a few apparently at random, and without explanation. Whether it was "honest" or not, your edit appeared crude and without justification. Sincerely, -- Doctormatt 18:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fagin
I went to the page for Fagin and noticed that someone with the IP address 84.68.60.135 vandalized the page on 6 December 2006, deleting all that was there and substituting his own text in its place. 71.234.133.42 19:35, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. I've reverted the page. Cheers, Doctormatt 20:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Glove gun
I have nominated this article for deletion. I noticed that you have made several edits to the page, which is why I am notifying you of the nomination. Nick Graves 22:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
