Welcome

[edit]

Hi, Carradee. Welcome to Wikipedia. It's probably not appropriate to send you the standard welcome message that I send to other newcomers, as you're married to an experienced Wikipedian who can probably answer all your questions. (I followed the link on his page to yours.) But I just wanted to say a quick "hi", and I'm delighted that you've joined. Regards, Ann Heneghan (talk) 20:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You can do ASL now

[edit]

After seeing what you had to go through to put ASL into your Babel template (using subst: and all) I gave the guys on that template a suggestion for how to avoid having to go to that much trouble. And they took it. So now you can go replace all that with {{Babel-4|en|es-1|asl-1|ot-3}}. :)

BTW, I thought you'd like to start your day with that happy orange bar saying you had messages. :) :* Jdavidb (talk) 04:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! Messages!! LOL, thank you, I hated all that mess. I felt smothered by clutter.--Carradee 23:23, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tomorrow

[edit]
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;

I see you've been busy. ;) Jdavidb (talk) 17:56, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merely defending the English language, my dear :)--Carradee 16:01, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she ever uttered.
By law she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now, should be antique.
If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English learn to set
A good example to people whose English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely disappears:
In America, they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian; the Greeks have taught their Greek.
In France every Frenchman knows his language from "A" to "Zed"
(The French never care what they do, actually,
as long as they pronounce in properly.)
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning.
And Hebrews learn it backwards,
which is absolutely frightening.
But use proper English you're regarded as a freak.
Why can't the English learn to speak?
--Henry Higgins

Barnstar

[edit]

I, Gaius Cornelius hereby award you this Minor Barnstar for all your brilliant minor edits! Gaius Cornelius 07:23, 26 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Oh, cool! Thanks :D --Carradee 16:03, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You are very welcome. Minor edits are important too. If you see a fellow fixer at work and you think it is appropriate, you too can award a minor Barnstar.

Congratulations

[edit]

Congratulations on Baby Mi. Hope you have a very happy and safe pregnancy! AnnH (talk) 16:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Smeraldo.cc motu 06.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Smeraldo.cc motu 06.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What church do you go to? Ashbeckjonathan (talk)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
