[edit] ITN

Hey there, Bazza. Thought I'd give you and a few other regulars a heads up about this straw poll which concerns a possible name change for "In the news." Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. The Tom 00:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] recurring decimal

Your edit suggests that you object to the phrase "infinitely many". How, then, would you rephrase the following statement?

Euclid proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers.

... and I suppose I should add this: when I see "repeats infinitely many times" changed to "repeats infinitely", then earlier experience causes me to fear things like "infinitely many prime numbers" changed to "infinite prime numbers", which, of course, is really horribly wrong, since no prime number is infinite. I've actually seen this happen, so maybe I'm a bit touchy after that. Michael Hardy 18:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

It sounds as if you read "repeats infinitely, many times", whereas it was intended as "repeats infinitely-many times". I wouldn't normally use a hyphen for such a thing, but in view of the potential misunderstanding you raise, I'm considering it. Michael Hardy 23:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page usage

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:British Isles are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you! Waggers 15:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parition of Ireland

Sorry, Bazza - wrote than in a bad mood. Just read over it. Was ill-tempered. --sony-youthpléigh 18:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lough Neagh in the British Isles or not.

Hello - I see you've participated in the TalkPage discussion at Lough Neagh. I have created a table of the different contributors and their views/arguments about the geographical description to be applied. I am proposing that, if there is a clear consensus then the article is modified to reflect the consensus amongst editors. I am notifying each of the people I've identified as having been interested of this fresh opportunity to reach a consensus and settle this matter. Wikipedia has a policy on canvassing, please do not breach it with actions that are, or could be seen as being, partisan. PRtalk 07:20, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Windsor and Eton Diagram

As I shamelessly cribbed your plan for Windsor and Eton Central (with goods yard etc) to make a new diagram for the line I thought I would invite your comments on the work in progress which can be found here Talk:Slough to Windsor & Eton Line. Thanks and sorry for the presumption! Britmax (talk) 10:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
