Gay Skinheads

Hi there! I took a gander at your reworked Gay skinheads article and I think it is MUCH improved. I will probably have a couple suggestions, but haven't given it a close enough read to articulate anything yet. In general though, good job! Also, I am glad to see that you haev decided to stick around. I happened here on accident and haven't left yet. I am quite busy this week but will come back to this when I can.

Muphry's law

Well, by the law itself there had to be some ghastly mistakes in the article! Thanks for picking them up. Mis-spelling the law itself was pretty classic. PamD (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I got a good chuckle from that. In addition, let me point out that your reference #[5] for Skitt's Law points to a quote of the defunct Wikipedia article, so it's not a primary source. Especially since Skitt's law now redirects to Muphry's law, making it sort of like an indirect self-reference. Is there any other source you can cite for Skitt's Law? Unconventional (talk) 03:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually, now I realize that you're citing Dominicanus for all those other similar laws. Shouldn't there be primary sources, or am I being too staid? Unconventional (talk) 04:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Signatures

You left a vandalism notice for Brockthornton and you didn't sign your comment, please be more careful as sometimes this causes confusion to new editors, I know it was probably a mistake but just telling you.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Hairy Perry 18:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

No there isn't a reason for them not to autosign, you would think they would, but I guess not, but like I said it was an accident everybody makes mistakes. Just press the preview button before you look at comments and edits, and such you know the drill probably just a little refreshing wouldn't hurt. Really it is astonishing that it doesn't autosign I can't get over that. WOW! Hairy Perry 19:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Tenerife

I see there's still one untranslated passage in this article's text, in the Museums section: <<un fondo museográfico integrado por more than 2,600 registros de elementos of the Guanche culture>>. May I suggest: <<a museological [or research or archival] collection comprising more than 2,600 specimens of items from the Guanche culture>>? Unconventional (talk) 02:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, certainly something like that. Feel free to go for it. - Jmabel | Talk 06:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

You could, or you could just leave a note that the prod was removed and that you agree that it shouldn't be deleted. The article really did look at first like a genealogical article about a very non-notable ancestor; there are more and more of these nowadays, but looking harder it seems clear he is a somewhat forgotten, but once more famous person, still known to historians.John Z (talk) 21:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
