You sound like Lir too. Susan Mason
riiight. -fonzy
Fonzy - why are you moving pre-Renaissance momarchs to the "of country" format? That convention only makes sense for modern monarchs. Edward of Scotland is rubbish - there was no such person. Compare [1] with [2]. --mav 11:33 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)
I did it as is farther John Balliol was put on John of Scotland.
- That one doesn't make sense either. I'll fix it. --mav
I've been enjoying your contributions! But, hey, what's wrong with the age of the photo I uploaded to Great Pyramid of Giza? I think that's a good example of an article where a 19th century photo works fine. And by the time scale of the pyramids, that is a pretty recent photo :-) -- Infrogmation 03:23 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
Nothing is really wrong with it, I would just prefer a phot that has been taken by a wikipedian -fonzy
Hi Fonzy, I like what you've done with the years for the Grammy Awards pages. Nice work :) -- sannse 15:52 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)
My pleasure - fonzy
Hello. Thanks for amending the Wikipedia:Most active Wikipedians page to show that some people were jointly in the same position. I didn't even think of doing that! How sloppy of me... Oh yes, and well done on your position: it looks like I have a lot of work to do to catch you up! ;) -- Oliver P. 13:12 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
I just save an awful lot :-). - fonzy
When did ununnilium get officially renamed? This would be an interesting piece of information to have in the article. --mav
to be honest I dont't know, but soemtime in this year i beleive. - fonzy
Okay, I've got the EFTA map. I'm a little confused about the coloring though; what's the lighter color (on Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland) supposed to represent? --Brion 21:13 Mar 30, 2003 (UTC)
The lighter is current members, daker is ex-members. -fonzy PS, remeber lictenstein is also a member just abit too small to see.
Hi Daniel, as far as I know Children in Need and Comic Relief do' alternate. Each is on every second year. This year it was CR, next year CIN. I remember a BBC programme talking about it, and saying that two fundraisers in the one year would drain too many resources and overdo it. BTW, why 'Fonzy' as a nickname? Do you hang around in a black leather biker's jacket and have women swoon over you? (I do the former but women would be wasting time swooning over me!) STÓD/ÉÍRE 21:18 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
They don't i remember when i was youn ger noticng taht CIN happens every year whilst comic relief happens every other year. and no women do not swrom round me. (Don't know why they would, anyway my g/f woudl not liek it)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/faqs/#question21 <--- states when CIN 2003 Appeal will be held.
-fonzy
Just been checking. That was the original arrangement but they have changed it by moving CIN to later in the year, allowing CIN now to run yearly and CR every two years. Bloody BBC. You'd think there own programmes would get it right!!!
Well tahst hwo i alwasy remeber it being done, since i was about 7. so do you know when it changed? BTW i suggest ed to teh BBC abotu a "green nose day" fr environmenatl causes. If it ever happens you know who suggested it ;-). -fonzy
The never-opened station of the Northern Line was North End tube station, also known as Bull & Bush tube station. The deep-level passages were apparently used as a control room for the "special" floodgates. See http://www.davros.org/rail/culg/northern.html (under "Other happenings"). By the way, my list of closed stations is pretty much complete at User:Rbrwr/sandbox. --rbrwr
ok, i did nogt have time to restart the underground lines today, i was finishing Phase 1 of my Eurvision project. -fonzy
Hi, Fonzy
On the Russian dating, the idea is to KEEP the Julian dates, and mark them as Julian dates. Correcting them to Gregorian and not indicating that they have been converted will only confuse things!. If the calendar switch was made during someone's lifetime, it may make sense to give both Julian and Gregorian, but ALWAYS marked to show which is which. -- Someone else 19:43 Apr 22, 2003 (UTC)
- I really hate the Russian date thing - it is very confusing because few sources indicate which dates are in Julian and which are in Gregorian. --mav
Nice work on adding the nav tables. I guess it is time for me to work on the images... :-) BTW user:RTC has photos of all the non-radioactive elements. See a crop I made of one of those images at lithium. --mav
I know i've seen it and its very good, but we do eventually need the images of radioactive elements, which some nice wikipedian could try and get permission to take pictures of from some university or science reasearch centre. -fonzy
- Yes - eventually. But in the meantime there is plenty of work for us to do. --mav
Unfortunatly...yes there is :-) -fonzy
Hey fonzy, could you create the "x in literature" as minor edits? ta :-) -- Tarquin 12:18 May 12, 2003 (UTC)
certainly. :-) - fonzy
thank you :-) -- t
Sorry, Fonz, but I'm not sure I really agree that the 2001 election data belongs on here, so, no, I don't really feel inclined to help. Deb 22:00 May 15, 2003 (UTC)
The edit-war that you're currently participating in over the wording of the caption of the sign-off image from the article on the London Congestion Charge scheme is getting to be quite silly, and a waste of time, not only for you, but also for others (such as myself). Could you possibly stop, or at least wait until the output of the discussion from the talk page suggests which way to move? Also, contributed thereto, and suggesting why you think it is 'unprofessional', rather than merely participating in endless counter-retataliatory action, might be somewhat of a better use of Wikipedia's resoures. Many thanks, James F. 21:35 16 May 2003 (UTC)
I find it ratehr wrong and rude, just to sign my naem down for something with out even telling me. I find it hard to argue my point in writing as i have communication problems in real life and hence cant put it in words. So i now just dotn bother. But it is not proffesional in my opinion, as one of the anonomous users said, it is a caption for the image so shoudl say what the image is. -fonzy
Shouldn't it be a bit clearer on Eurovision Song Contest 2003 whether the judging countries are on the top or left, and are which the judgee country's? -- John Owens 21:45 24 May 2003 (UTC)
Apologies for unnecessary rudeness on Larch edit. jimfbleak 09:55 25 May 2003 (UTC)
The table in United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest is very, very confusing. I would rewrite it, but I can't read it myself :) . Most tables have columns, each titled, and then rows, one for each entry. This table seems to have columns and titles every which way. Why are the titles repeated each row, and why are there different meanings for each column with each row? CGS 20:51 28 May 2003 (UTC).
Its a work in progress. -fonzy

Hi,
you took back my changes on the Eurovision Song Contest 2003. However the result on the official homepage http://www.eurovision.tv/public/25139.html shows 9. Iceland and 12. Germany. I first saw this on http://www.ndrtv.de/grandprix/hintergrund/stories/030524_lou_nach_riga.html (german only). But I'm no expert ...

Genrally it is only ever used for a tie in the winner (only happened once). Every Eurovision Site I have ever seen, always puts the songs in for a tie if tehy gain the same number of points. Betting shops often abuse this ruel to suit them. I haVE also notice many mistakes in an offical results for years 2002-1957 .PDF document found on the EBU website. But even this .PDF document ties them together. -fonzy
Hi Fonzy,
I removed the Province from the Northern Ireland page. It is both factually incorrect and like many terms in NI agenda-driven. There are in fact 4 provinces in Ireland. Northern Ireland is six of the nine counties of one of them. Both communities use language in a "fuck you!" style to provoke each other. Nationalists use "the North of Ireland" and "the Six Counties". Unionists use "Ulster" and "the Province". Unionists never say "the North of Ireland" let alone the "Six Counties" while nationalists take offence at the suggestion that NI "is" "Ulster" or "the Province". As wiki needs to be completely NPOV, we can use none of those four terms without giving the impression that the article is coming either from a nationalist or a unionist perspective and so biased.

Ahhh I didn't know that, i just went by another source that used offical names. -fonzy
