Lists are not stubs

Lists should not be tagged with stub templates, please use {{listdev}} (which also add a category) or {{Dynamic list}} over text. Also the {{stub}} has been deprecated in favor of stub categories. It is alsoa good idea to provide a category or two to your newly created articles. Circeus 17:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Prematurely deceased entertainer categories

Hi. FYI, folks are trying again to delete the prematurely deceased entertainer categories at Misplaced Pages:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 January 17#Entertainers who died.... I noticed you voted to save them in the past and thought you might want to know.  :) —Wknight94 (talk) 00:22, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Page name for temperature articles

To avoid flip-flopping between 'degree Fahrenheit' and 'Fahrenheit' or 'degree Celsius' and 'Celsius', I propose that we have a discussion on which we want. I see you have contributed on units of measurement, please express your opinion at Talk:Units of measurement. Thanks. bobblewik 22:49, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Phil Collins FAC

Hey Captain -- about a month ago, you had nominated Phil Collins for FAC and the nomination failed as the article wasn't ready. I was motivated by your nomination and spend the next couple of weeks fixing it up. I nominated it again last week, and the vote went through -- Phil Collins is now a featured article! Thanks for originally nominating it last month. Had it not been brought up, I wouldn't have taken the time to look at it and fix it to its current form. --Ataricodfish 07:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

That's great! Thanks for all the time you put into it. I've always been interested in British popular music of the 1980s, and Collins is one of my favorites. It's a telltale sign that a musician is great when you love almost all of their songs. Captain Jackson 19:17, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
