Hi Patrick, thanks for adding that bit about superstition and 13 (can't remember how to spell the word). Perhaps you could also have a look at the defintion of superstition - terribly biased at the moment. I put some thoughts in the talk page of superstition.

Hi Willsmith, I rephrased the first paragraph and added a link. Feel free to move your remarks from the talk page to the subject page, possibly working them out a bit. Patrick 00:14 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)

You were right about "determained", Patrick. Sorry. That was unintentional. I must have hit a key without noticing. -- Derek Ross 22:52 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)

Hi Patrick, I'll put the data for the Dutch municipalities that I did not yet include here: User:Patrick/Dutch data.

Hi Pat, please note that the "Move this page" link in the sidebar is preferred to moving a page by hand, because it preserves the page's history. --Eloquence

Hi, Patrick, I'm the one who's adding the articles about the Belgian municipalities. I've got a question that maybe you could answer. Would it be worth to wikify the cities and towns constituting these municipalities? I doubt that they all deserve an article in their own right, but on the other hand *something* could be written about them. I'd like to know your opinion because I'll wikify them upon creation if it seems like a good idea. What do you think? To wikify or not to wikify? Dhum Dhum 14:18 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Hi Dhum Dhum, I think all these links are not needed. I would prefer to put info about a town in the municipality article, except in special cases where there are two or more towns in one municipality which each have a lot of info, then they (or one of them) may deserve a separate article. If an article mentions a town which is not a municipality I always add the municipality with a link to that, e.g. in the Westerschelde article: 'Currently there are car ferries between Flushing and Breskens (mun. Oostburg), and between Kruiningen (mun. Reimerswaal) and Perkpolder (mun. Hontenisse).' Patrick 15:28 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer, Patrick. In the meantime I did wikify the towns in the municipalities of West Flanders (ouch!). But what you say makes sense. As a rule, I won't do it for the other provinces unles there's a reason for it. Dhum Dhum 15:47 Dec 4, 2002 (UTC)

Patrick, your see also list at remote viewing is hilarious, yet useful (a rare combination around here!). -- Stephen Gilbert 17:16 Dec 6, 2002 (UTC)

Hi Patrick, please see query (probably a very ignorant one on my part!) in Talk:Railway platform about Dutch/German railways in or from Westphalia. Thanks very much. Nevilley 23:06 Dec 8, 2002 (UTC)

Re the Battery article. I did mean cuboid, which is synonymous with rectangular prism. See http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cuboid.html. However, since many readers probably think that cuboid means cube, I prefer your version. Heron

Please see thanks note at Talk:Stefan_Zweig. Nevilley 12:10 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
