[edit] DYK

On July 5, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kenzo Takada, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] Re: Spanish
<<>> Ok...go ahead. My Spanish does appear rusty, but familiar of the language. I'm sure a few people from other countries who speak fluent English may type in errors, but don't mean they failed to learn. I speak some amount of French and I desire to further learn the two languages, but feel free to type in the English language if you like to. --Mike D 26 20:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mike_D_26"

[edit] Mockingbird
I saw your edit to Northern Mockingbird and wondered which other mimids you had in mind - I'm not sure that they all do much mimicry. jimfbleak 17:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not an ornithologist, but I'm sure that at least one other member of that genus has the same ability to imitate: the Mimus saturninus of South America. Here's a link, in Spanish; it mentions their skill to mimicry different sounds, including the neigh of a horse. I will create an article using that source whenever I'm free. Mimus means mime, so this should be a characteristic of the whole genus; I guess the Northern Mockingbird is getting more attention just for inhabiting North America. I hope it's helpful, and I apologize if my edit was rude or awkward.--cloviz 23:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Not at all, the only reason I asked the question is that I know that Tropical Mockingbird, M. gilvus, isn't a particularly gifted mimic, so I was just checking (in a not very subtle way) that the statement was based on fact. Sorry for doubting, jimfbleak 05:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] On this day
Hi, I saw your name in talk:Main page#Al-Quds Day.So you may be able to help me. As I said there the information in "On this day" isn't completely correct. But the more important issue that I can help with Islamic calendar and events, if you want.--Sa.vakilian 10:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- The pages like Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/October is protected and I can't edit it. So I guess an admin should help me.--Sa.vakilian 02:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
