Thank you for offering to help. I am trying to move the entry "Mandrake Linux" to "Mandrakelinux" (its new name) but the move is refused because a "Mandrakelinux" entry already exists (it's a redirect to "Mandrake Linux"). If you could please make the move and then change "Mandrake Linux" to redirect to "Mandrakelinux" I'd be very grateful.

Hello,

Sorry if I'm not posting properly. Firstly I want to thank you for your nice message and for reverting my mistake. The reason why I want to move "Mandrake Linux" to "Mandrakelinux" is that MandrakeSoft has changed the name of the distribution to "Mandrakelinux" for legal reasons. I was about to add a section explaining this but you intervened before I did so.

Hi. I would like to talk to you about a change you made to the Lesbian page that put back a line that I took out. I removed the line "This is generally not the case; exclusively lesbian women are not interested in having sex with men." because while I believe it is true, it is not really relevent to the section (Pornography and male preconceptions about lesbians) where it was contained. I also think that it is an old sterotype, and to most people it is pretty obvious. It would be like saying "Vegans are not interested in eating meat".

So as not to completely lose the point, I also changed "some men have the belief" to "some men have the mistaken belief".

How would you feel about taking the line back out again? Michael L. Kaufman 01:49, May 31, 2004 (UTC)

I did miss the "mistaken" addition, I'm sorry. But perhaps it serves to underscore that the point that the view is mistaken is a bit "lost". And I do agree with you that the sentence as it stands is a little tautological, so I'm going to change it to just "this is not generally the case".

I think that serves both purposes without being overt, and I hope that works for you too :) Dysprosia 04:28, 31 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Michael L. Kaufman 21:19, May 31, 2004 (UTC)

Dysprosia, thanks for compliment on my talk page.

Sydney isn't a suburb - it's a city. I think you're referring to the Sydney CBD or what americans would call the downtown, or what I'd call the 'city'. It does have a postcode, but can't be accurately referred to as a suburb. Mainly because it's definining characteristic is that it's a mercantile centre (financial and sales), rather than a popluated area (which it is these days, too). Suburbs such as Surry Hills or Ultimo impinge upon it, and may soon become part of it, but for the moment they're a different animal.

I'm also not sure if the Rocks counts as a suburb, rather than an area of the CBD like Chinatown.

Nonetheless, I'd hate to go back and forth on the Rocks page, so I leave it to your judgement.

Tried to clarify. You may want to look at List of Sydney suburbs - there are a lot of localities there that I think aren't suburbs, but I never completely back-checked them yet. Dysprosia 13:15, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning up headlines on my "Melt-Banana" article, it looks a lot better now, and that was my first full article. Thanks!

Thanks for the movement and clean-up of several articals I've edited and/or written. I'm starting to rely on you cleaning up things I miss, so I guess I should at least wave and smile once :)

Thank you. I didn't actually write the article "A Separate Peace" (I had to think why you wrote me about that), but there was so much that needed typesetting and wikification that I missed it. God bless you, and have a great day! DavidA 16:44, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the speedy deletion! I'll keep the page in mind for the future. - MGM 09:54, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up my articles! I'm still quite new at this thing. - Random Guy

Wow, that was the fastest deletion ever. LOL. YSL.

I am really offended at the removal. Either you list all, or none at all.

Also, Sacix has some quite wide goals, as to popularising the Debian + Gnome combination in Brazil. --LeandroGFCDutra 14:25, 17 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, mighty thanks for correcting my stuff. -Random Guy
