Hi Edcolins, and welcome from Belgium to the Wikipedia ! (Are you Belgian ? Your name seems to indicate you're not.) Hope you'll enjoy. --FvdP 22:02, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hey FvdP! Thanks for your welcome. Nice to get this just three days after starting. --Edcolins.

Hello Ed, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log so others can meet you and help you get started. If you need editing help, visit Wikipedia:How to edit a page. For format questions, visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help, add a question to the Village pump, or just leave a note on my talk page. Jwrosenzweig 22:11, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'd discourage the list idea -- they're frequently hard to find again once created (e.g., is it at List of patent topics? List of patent-related topics? List of patent-related articles?). See alsos work fairly well if we're talking about 4-8 articles or so: they're probably a better solution than a list article, unless you're talking about needing to link to a lot of articles. Honestly, what I do is use the "What links here" page (have you used that button? it's on the sidebar to your left) -- go to Patent and hit it, and you'll find every article that links to that article. So if all you're doing is trying to find those articles, that works. If you're trying to make it easier for others to find patent related topics.....well, I guess I need more information before I can make a good suggestion. Who are you envisioning would need this help? Is a list a good idea, or can they simply search for the necessary topic using our search box in the top right? More details please, when you have the chance. :-) Jwrosenzweig 21:15, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
See also: is Wikistyle. We don't have "Internal Links" sections, so I'd avoid that term and go with the see also idea. I believe the format is ''See also:'' [[link]], [[another link]], but you might check the Wikipedia:Manual of style first. If you don't find it, I'd use the layout I've written here. :-) Hope this helps! Thanks for being proactive, Jwrosenzweig 21:57, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi there. I saw your note at the new user log. Really good work on European Patent Convention, European Patent Office, and European Patent Organization. It's nice to look over a new user's contributions and find almost nothing that needs fixing. Keep up the good work.

Happy editing, Isomorphic 03:53, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Incidentally, the one correction I did make was to delink the second occurrence of "European Patent Organization" in the European Patent Office article. With few exceptions, it's a Wikipedia convention to only make a link the first time you mention something. Not a big deal, just letting you know. Isomorphic 03:58, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Flemish communities

Firstly, thanks for all the work on the Flemish communities. Secondly, I agree about Kraainem, I can't say it's NPOV. I adapted the text of 5 of the communities with facilities: Kraainem, Linkebeek, Sint-Genesius-Rode, Wemmel and Wezembeek-Oppem. I left Herne as it was, because it didn't contain the same text as the others and it didn't seem too non-NPOV to me. D.D. 20:40, 1 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
