User talk:Chameleon
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you moved the Alternative words for American page. When you move a page, please fix the links that point to the old title, especially the redirects as these will be broken otherwise. See Special:Whatlinkshere/Alternative words for American for the links that now point to the wrong page. This is explained more at Wikipedia:move. You might also find the following pages helpful: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 02:13, Mar 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, Angela. I'll get right on it. Chameleon 09:24, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This page explains the trouble with mdashes. Should I make a Wikipedia:Microsoft character set extensions page? I have no idea.
- Ah, I thought people had a problem with m-dashes themselves, rather than with the encoding I used. OK, I'll make sure I use the escape code rather than just typing it in, in future. Hmmm, Wikipedia automatically changes some characters to escape codes when I type them in. If m-dashes are tricky across platforms, why are they not among those characters? — Chameleon 11:51, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Moving articles and naming conventions
Hi David -- the edit summaries were not directed specifically at you, but for anyone looking through the edit history. Although you may be completely satisfied with the logic and internal consistency of your decisions regarding Zaragoza and Sevilla, your changes are in contravention of Wikipedia:Naming conventions. Please refer to those pages -- and if you want to propose a change, please discuss them first on the talk pages of the convention page in question. -- Thanks, BCorr|Брайен 01:31, May 12, 2004 (UTC)
Attacking other people and/or their religions will not be tolerated on Wikipedia. You're new here, so that gives you a little bit of slack, but after another user pointed out that your posting was unacceptable, you continued to make further attacks. Don't do it again. RickK 03:17, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
- Why not? You're attacking me. Just take a hike. And don't do it again.
The zaragoza (saragossa, caesar augusta, ...) discussion
I understand you may not like being politically correct, but personal attacks (wacky freak or similar, I don't recall, it was at Zaragoza, btw I pronounce it with θ, but this does not matter) is not a problem of policy but education, and we try to be educated even though we may discuss subjects without agreeing.

- Ya. Porque eres español.
Y «educación» se dice «politeness». Y no era «wacky» sino «wiccan», una secta que cree en la magia. —Chameleon 09:19, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
