[edit] Signing Contributions

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- pm_shef 22:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monster in My Pocket

Sorry to undo your alphabetization work, but the list was not in random order at all. It just needs to be put in a table with things like the numbers. Achelous through Troll should be the only alphabetical part, because the order does not appear to have been included in anything released by the company (except perhaps in Argentina), and they are listed where they are because they are 82-96, but not necessarily in respective order (I would speculate that Genie is #96 though). --Scottandrewhutchins 02:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

No prob. It should have numbers yes. I just wandered there through the Ankou page and saw this long list with no logical ordering. Feeling compulsive I alphabetized it.--Boffob 02:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] eh

Thank you for taking the 'eh' out of intro of the Canadian Indentity article. I had no idea what that editor meant by putting it in.

[edit] Montreal

When you see a large section ot text removed with no explanation then it's hard to know that the rest of the edits were valid. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 21:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Saguenay

Hey - thanks for your edits to Saguenay. Looking back, those were some pretty boneheaded mistakes on my part :P doh. Anyway, hope you can continue to help improving the article - I don't know all that much about the city or the area but it is a shame to see the article go undeveloped. --dragfyre 02:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. I agree the article should be expanded, it's just not the kind of thing I can do. I mostly do small fixes.--Boffob 03:52, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Independant reinvention!

I see you've discovered our little online gambling news SPAMmer! I've been pulling his crap from as many places as I can find it. I've also filed a request on the m:Talk:Spam blacklist to have it be banned WMFwide. 68.39.174.238 07:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quebec French lexicon

Just to say your bot mistakenly replaced the word orignal (moose in Quebec French) with "original" on December 17, 2006.--Boffob 02:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

You learn something new every day! Sorry about that. I've made a note of it so it won't happen again. Cheers, CmdrObot 19:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Socks?

Indeed, sounds like a matching pair to me. Wanna be my guest? Or shall I do the honors?--Ramdrake 23:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to do it. I'm not too familiar with the procedure.--Boffob 23:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Boffob, I had seen your reply, but as things stand now, and it seems David Olivier now writes exclusively as Michael Brock (he tries to pass himself off as American, but still cites stuff in French from Stopgavage, his organization — very impressive!), he's not for the moment breaking any rules. You can have more than one ID on WP, as long as you don't use them concurrently to skew opinion, disrupt a vote or a debate. If he ever starts again a tandem with David, then I think we have a very strong case indeed, especially with the Youtube video he cited! Am I under the wrong impression, or would you by any chance also happen to be Québécois? (a distinct impression I got from your talk page and your degree of familiarity with French).--Ramdrake 13:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured as much. Your impression is right too.--Boffob 14:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I took a peek at Olivierd's talk page, only to find out he'd been indef-blocked along with his sockpuppets. That would explain why the page has been quiet for a week now... Until later. Salut d'un bleuet! :)--Ramdrake 14:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Can you see Sesshomaru's talk page? I posted a question there and I hope you can answer it. Only cause you seem to know a lot 'bout Sesshomaru. Thanks! Power level (Dragon Ball) 02:32, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cretonnade

I don't doubt in this day and age you might look long and hard to find anyone in Ontario who is familiar with what I described. But my father was born and raised in Ontario. Though it was just across the Detroit River from Detroit, this was 1915 - and my fathers family, and everyone who they knew - spoke French. They were only one or two generations removed from Quebec. The "cretonade-like" dish I describe, which is not creton, but is clearly inspired from it, was made by everyone in his extended family for holiday dinners with goose or turkey. My father's seven children, as well as his brothers and sisters children, all continue to make this delicious dressing every year for the holidays (though all of us live in the States). I believe you that no one you know in Ontario is familiar with it. However, everyone of Canadian descent in my family - upwards of 80 people at last count - all know and love it!

[edit] Avoid collateral damage

If you want to continue the ridiculous edit war over the name of InuYasha's sword, do it without inflicting collateral damage on other people's edits. Otherwise, I will revert you. JRSpriggs 06:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, taking out red-links is not necessarily a good thing. If there SHOULD be an article, then the link should be left as a reminder to create the article and a link to it once it is created. JRSpriggs 06:22, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't remove all red links, only those which I believe won't be created any time soon, such as obscure japanese folkloric creatures. Especially when the essential description is right in the current article.--Boffob 06:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poutine

You're correct that the poutine segment appeared on This Hour Has 22 Minutes rather than Rick Mercer Report (which didn't even exist yet at the time). Just so you know, I've changed the wording of the sentence so that maybe it'll be a bit less ambiguous. Bearcat 23:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
