Welcome to the wikipedia, Chris - just thought I'd offer up a little tip about signing your name on talk pages; if you type three tildes in a row (without spaces), thus: ~~~, the software replaces them with your name linked to your userpage. If you type four tildes in a row then that's followed by the date and time, which can be handy in some cases. If you need any help, there's the Wikipedia:Help page, and if you have any questions, ask them at the Wikipedia:Village pump. Have fun, and happy editing! --Camembert
Hi Chris. I saw your note on David Bondurant on the list of mathematicians. *All* the contributions from 165.91.123.107 relate to him, do have a look; the IP address is at Texas A&M University; so is he; and so on. I imagine it is a friend or colleague of his having a laugh, and that you were quite right to remove the reference. I'm not into maths but I am into the trumpet where I was wondering what to do about a very similar thing in the list of famous tpt players! Nevilley
Re. [[Indian]] and languages: You are right of course. I'll put back what I changed. Sorry! -- sannse 12:55 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I've set up a page at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (lists) and started moving the discussion at the pump to the related talk page. The pump is getting too long again and this is a better place to discuss the issue. I hope to see you there -- sannse 10:58 Mar 9, 2003 (UTC)
Would I be right in inferring that you consider it POV to mention that a majority of educated native speakers of English have always pronounced "formerly" differently from "formally"? In England in the last 150 years or so, perhaps that has changed, but most native speakers of English do not live in Britain. At any rate, my point was to contrast the assertion that RP carefully distinguishes between consonant sounds that get merged in most other dialect with the fact that in regard to the letter "r", the reverse is true: RP merges sounds between which most English-speakers distinguish. To me that seems to be a neutral verifiable fact, not POV. Michael Hardy 19:43, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I think the mentioning of "educated speakers" makes it appear POV, implying (incorrectly) that this is a speech-pattern often found in uneducated speakers of English. I would be happy with "the majority of native English speakers", which is probably true due to the much larger US population (as well as England, Australia & New Zealand are largely non-rhotic, as are native English speakers from the Indian Subcontinent). -- Chris Q 09:11, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I own the domain wikipedia.org.uk. If admin want it, just let me know. Currently it is redirecting to en.wikipedia.org, but only the main page redirection works.
Hi just to let you know that I just deleted Sandbox/test. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 11:06, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
