Categories in Userspace
editHi! I noticed that in your scratchpad / draft / alternative article User:Pseudo account/foo:Massively distributed collaboration you have the categories still activated, so it's showing up in Category:Politics and a few others. Could I suggest that you deactivate them (by putting a colon before 'Category' in the link) until such time as the article is in the mainspace rather than the userspace? (As per WP:CG, "If you copy an article to your user namespace (for example, as a temporary draft or in response to an edit war) you should decategorize it".)

Oh! Thank you so much. I realized elsewhere that my sandboxing with that syntax might have had that bad effect. I will now proceed to correct it.
- No probs. If you just want to delete a user subpage, you just need to put the tag {{Db-owner}} at its top, and it's usually speedily deleted. Ziggurat 21:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Text digitization projects
editHi, just wanted to let you know, I've redirected an article you started, Text digitizing projects, to the existing article/list at List of digital library projects which I think you'll agree covers the same material/purpose and is much more comprehensive. --Canley 10:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
"Sioux" and other wierd Frenglish
editOther than "Sioux" being a homophone to "Sue", there is "Mille Lacs" as "Me Lacks" to rhyme with "relax", "Lac Courte Oreilles" as "La Couderay", "Sault Ste. Marie" as "Sue Simmery" or "Sue Saint Marie" (how do we end up with [su:] from "Sault"?; many people of second pronunciation also misspell Sault Ste. Marie as "Sioux St. Marie"). I just wanted to share this with you. CJLippert 03:22, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
