[edit] Tax liens and tax deeds
Thank you for adding the references regarding Larry Loftis. I have edited your reference and formatted it accordingly to Wikipedia's standards. I have also added a second book, the newest published one on the subject. --Jbanning22 14:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 15:30, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hurricane Bret
Just so you know, I removed the information that Bret is the only Category 4 hurricane to not have its name retired. This isn't true, as there have been numerous recent examples of this happening; Karl (2004), Isaac (2000), Cindy and Gert (1999). Were you trying to say something else?

[edit] Pronunciation of Quitaque
Quitaque is pronounced kitta-kway (if you're from Southern Texas) or kitty-kway (if you're from the region) not kit-a-kew.

The pronunciation I used came from the Texas Travel Guide. Quidam65 13:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce would be a better source. I have family from that area. They don't pronounce it kit-a-kew.

[edit] Jargon of the Rush Limbaugh show--Atlanta Urinal Constipation
Are you sure that Rush invented or popularized "Atlanta Urinal Constipation"? He doesn't use it much (and doesn't have much occasion to use it). I know that Atlanta-based Neal Boortz uses it. It would make sense that whoever invented it, Boortz popularized it. Pan Dan 14:34, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
He's used it several times when I've listened to him. Boortz may have invented it, but as the topic heading states, not all the jargon is Rush-invented. Quidam65 14:42, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
But it's questionable that Rush popularized it. If Rush uses a term that he neither invented nor popularized, then I would think that term doesn't really belong on the page. Pan Dan 14:54, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Northwest ISD
Hello. Thanks for your attention to the Northwest school district article. I thought I'd explain the reverts I made: Justin, Roanoke, Corral City, Marshall Creek and Northlake are in Denton County, not Tarrant County. Trophy Club straddles the border, but most of it is in Denton County, so that's why I kept it listed under Denton. The Tarrant County website has a good map showing which cities it includes: http://www.tarrantcounty.com/egov/cwp/view.asp?a=703&q=425071 Thanks, Dmp348 21:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please use edit summaries
Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:
- Edit summary usage for Quidam65: 3% for major edits and 29% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 35 minor edits in the article namespace.
Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your edit to DLP
I'm reverted your edits to DLP because they looked a little bit too spammy. I think the link can probably be brought back, but it would need to be presented in some way that is a little more subtle. I hope that comment made sense. :) In any case, the guidelines at WP:EL will help. --Mdwyer 00:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Lewisville High School
An article that you have been involved in editing, Lewisville High School, has been listed by me for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lewisville High School. Thank you. talk to Ytny 09:20, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lazarus and Dives RFC
An RFC has been filed to determine whether or not the position of the Jesus Seminar should be included in Lazarus and Dives. Your comments would be most welcome. --Joopercoopers 22:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion process
Please read WP:CSD and the other pages on deletion process. Proposed deletion is WP:PROD, and "directions for illegal activities " is not a reason for Speedy. I am not sure it is a reason for deletion at all. But WP is not a how to do it manual, and that is a good reason to propose Parachute (smoking) for deletion, & I have done so. Thanks for marking it for attention. DGG 00:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] L.D. Bell Alumni?
I noticed you edited the L.D. Bell page and added some more info about that band. . . are you an alumni? Thanks! Fickman 15:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sylvan Learning
I reverted your addition to Sylvan Learning as it seemed like unnecessary promotion of the company. Also, some of your edits that are marked as minor are really not. Keep in mind that a minor edit should only be routine maintainance that does not have to be seen by other editors. Instead of marking your edits as minor, provide a concise edit summary. Thanks.
