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)

Thanks for the clarification - Talk:Railway platform - Nevilley 08:23 Dec 9, 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)

Hi Patrick,

from List of Musical Topics talk:

>What then is the purpose of a self-link? - Patrick 11:56 Dec 26, 2002 (UTC)

>I haven't got a clue! But I assume that cleverer people than I do, and have asked about the whole subject in the Village Pump. You might want to add your request for clarification to that? It is something to do with it being easier to monitor changes, but I am not sure how. Nevilley 11:58 Dec 26, 2002 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my TeX on Curl. I was so busy making sure I got the x,y,z subscript right in the expansion -- just noticed form a diff I put + instead of - . Aaaaaaaaaarg!!!! ;-) -- Tarquin 14:09 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)

Hi Patrick,

Is gobbledygook really necessary? The entry is a dicitionary definition and the topic seems more worthy of Everything2 than Misplaced Pages. --Nate 15:16 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)

I have moved it to Plain language and changed it accordingly. It is just a stub, but can grow. - Patrick 15:45 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)

Sorry, I see that you had redirected it and someone else made it into a defintion. In any case, it looks like a real article now. Thanks. --Nate 18:43 Jan 11, 2003 (UTC)

Heh, nice catch at Paradise Lost. shamefacedly, Koyaanis Qatsi

Hi Patrick, What made you decide to enter the definition of IRC? Grtz, Pels

With a name like "IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre" one wonders: Is this part of IRC? If so, what is IRC? Or is IRC the original name? If so, what did it mean?. - I have tried to partially answer that. Please correct if it is wrong, and/or extend. - Patrick 22:02 Feb 5, 2003 (UTC)
