We're so glad you're here! henrik•talk 18:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One more note

I noticed you posted comments on the deletion discussion talk page. The usual convention here on Wikipedia is for those comments to be made on the deletion discussion page directly. Another user has moved them to the correct place for you, I hope you don't mind that.

Another tip: You can sign your comments by typing ~~~~ at the end of your comments on talk pages, which helps keep track of who wrote what :-) Sorry for the inconvenience - it is hard to understand all of wikipedia's multitude of policies directly, so please ask me if you have any questions at all. henrik•talk 18:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome and article:William Geddes

Thanks for creating the William george nicholson geddes article, another past-president off the list to do. I have added my support to it's deletion page and fortunately there seems to be overwhelming support to save it. Don't worry about the lower case name, it's an easy mistake to make and easily solveable.

PS: as if to show how easy it is to make mistakes, initially I accidentally posted this to your user page instead of the talk page! Apologies for that.

[edit] RE:William Glanville

Glad to see you back. Thanks for correcting the article, both the Royal Society and the Dictionary of National Biography have got it wrong in their biographies - its nice to see Wikipedia with a more correct article! Cheers, Dumelow (talk) 20:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
