[edit] Your userpage was briefly delisted by a rogue admin
You have a userbox Template:User UN which links your userpage to United Nations Wikipedians. There is currently a movement to ban userboxes from Wikipedia which are shared and which create Lists of Wikipedians. Certain admins have taken it upon themselves to preemptively sabotage and/or delete such categories and template. Here is the incident report which reported damage to yours, in which hundreds of userpages were delinked from categories without the users' knowledge. They have been stopped, barely, and the damage reverted— for now.
There is a Wikipedia:Userbox policy poll, which if passed, will make required by policy the damage done to categories and templates such as User UN/United Nations Wikipedians. If you do not want this to happen, I urge you to vote Oppose. in the poll. Support is currently running at about 66%, and your vote could make the difference. It is said to require 75%-80% to be deemed reflective of consensus.
Thank you,

[edit] Day trader vs Day trading
Hello. I notice that you converted the redirect at Day trader into an article.[1] I'm not sure I understand the reason for this. I don't see any explanation, ordiscussion, or even that you've ever edited Day trading. Please come discuss at Talk:Day trading#Merge with day trader?. Thanks! Ewlyahoocom 17:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] EU cities
Hi, thanks for noting that it's in alphabetical order. Although it does look strange, what with the linked article being rather clear on the point. I know it's harder to order Paris and Rome, or Berlin and Madrid, although London e.g. is twice the size of Berlin. But why don't you use the criterion on the very article linked there? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_cities_of_the_European_Union_by_population_within_city_limits
