Re-release vs. rerelease
You have changed rereleased to re-released in the Kult (album) article. I'm not a native english speaker, however it looks that rerelease should be used instead of re-release. At least Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary and dictionary.reference.com say so. I've reverted it. Of course I can be wrong... :-)
BTW: Thanks for correction of initially :-).
Well, I'm a native speaker and rereleased looks really silly to me. However, I don't feel strongly about it. Welsh 17:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Cutting Board Spellcheck
Thanks for spell checking my additions to the cutting board article. I will be sure to use the spellchecker next time.

Spelling bots
Hi mate, was wondering if there is a bot that you could make to fix common, proven spelling errors such as "ocassion" to "occasion" and the like. Rogerthat Talk 06:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I am not into making bots. Others may be. But I just do it manually. The context of the words is often really important, and I don't know how you could automate that. Welsh 17:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I've created a fairly simple Wikipedia:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board (shortcut WP:WWNB) to try to get things started. Please have a look and consider signing on, adding it to your watchlist and helping to make sure any users with an interest in the subject know about it. Also please feel free to add things and to change anything you feel needs changing – I'm not under the impression that I own it! Rhion 20:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Chicano Park
Thanks for fixing my spelling error. The "E" key on my laptop is missing, so my articles often have spelling errors as a result.--Rockero 20:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Wow, looking through your user talk page, it seems you're really eagle-eyed when it comes to spelling and typos. Well done, and many thanks for the corrections you made to Southern Water. Waggers 12:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
RNPF Caerwent
Thanks for your thanks - first one ever; and thanks for putting the article on Wikipedia, I learnt a few things about the site, especialy the water supply.
I knew some of the history of RNCF Holton Heath (which is not yet on Wikipedia) and I'm about half way through writing ROF Bishopton (and ROF Chorley, etc) so it was quite easy to tweak your article a bit (easier than starting from a blank sheet). If I ever do RNCF Holton Heath (or someone else does) I might come back to the RNPF as there are interesting (to me anyway) links between the two; and of course some of Caerwent's equipment ended up at Bishopton.

Kwantung Army red links
Your removals were clearly excessive. For example Prince Takeda, a royal family member, which I have redirected to a relevant page; General Honjo, Kwantung Army commander - how can you confidently say we shall never have a page on someone of such a high military rank? Kanji Ishihara, referred to on quite a number of other pages. Charles Matthews 00:18, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing my spelling errors on the Combat Groups of the Working Class page. I was in a bit of a rush and didn't take the time to spell check my edits. Ehrentitle 15:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Nice that you had time to look over the Sea Tigers article
-and what silly mistakes there were, could have beaten myself... Well, guess it's the beauty of Wikipedia - someone in Wales comes by fixing the errors of a Norwegian writing about some obscure group in Sri Lanka. Have a nice weekend! Ulflarsen 06:55, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 13:13, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

You'll see I have arranged your long list into three columns, please revert this if you don't like it.
However, in doing this I picked up your note that there were 93 - so I went for 3 columns of 31 - and found 94 names.

No problem on the reformatting. I finished expanding articles for the list this morning and also discovered there are 94. I will research where the problem lies. Welsh 09:03, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

My first notable copyright violation
I had a copyright violation on my article "Martin Schippert", that the source book's author Willi Wottreng said to me. I therefore had to shorten the article you helped correcting/writing. I'm sorry if there were any of your words beeing cut away.
Please do not reconstruct the article to its former size, because I else have to fear legal problems against myself.

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Contentment, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.

- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, and other tasks.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 20:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Kedemah
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kedemah, by Shorty Pie, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kedemah seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Kedemah, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Kedemah itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Chubs and Disambiguation
Greetings. Recently, on Tue 16 Oct, I constructed a disambiguation page for the various fish known as chubs. After having done so, I began to contemplate whether that page and the current Chub page might be better named. I posted a discussion on the Chub page but it's not yet received any comment. I noticed from the article's revision history that you had made one or more contributions to the page. Consequently, I thought I might profit from your advice at Talk:Chub#Page title if you have a moment or two to spare. Thanks. — Dave (Talk | contribs) 03:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Dunlop Bremner & Company
A tag has been placed on Dunlop Bremner & Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for your minor correction. I must have read that Paragraph 10 times... I Just spent two days, and created my first two wilderness area articles for the Lower Colorado River Valley... What work, since I made a mountain, a town, a mesa article, etc, then corrected all the links. Amazingly, there are about 25 wilderness areas down the Lower Colorado River Valley; i just did No. 2 and 3, ..only 20 to go. Anyway, I was trying to fill up the Yuma Desert plants: (Category:Flora of the Yuma Desert), and it seemed obvious to make the side article for Hyptis alata after I made Hyptis emoryi, though it was just going to be a short, short, short, stub(especially since I don't live in SE USA, and know nothing about the plant).
