Note for the humourously challenged: The Am-0 template on my user page is a joke. I accept that non-British dialects of English are as valid as British ones, and I even use American English on WP when it's appropriate. Any comments on my opinion of non-British dialects will be ignored, because they are invalid. Hairy Dude 19:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for nuking the non-notable
Thanks for getting rid of the non-notable World of Warcraft material on Small matter of programming. I'm usually too chicken to get rid of text which I don't see as belonging on Wikipedia, but I'm glad someone takes care of these things. Kingdon 02:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. If you're not sure what is notable, it's probably wise not to delete stuff - WP:BOLD does have its exceptions! :) I might add that my own idea of notability has been enhanced by the deletion of the article on a relatively major student computer society of which I am a member: we thought it was notable for what seemed like good reasons, but WP consensus disagreed because there weren't enough independent sources of information. It's very much tied in with verifiability. I suppose the confidence to get rid of NN stuff only comes with such experience. Hairy Dude 16:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I messed up. Can you fix it?
- The proper useage is in the plural - and I misspelled it when I tried to move it.

Personal names - feudal names
I was trying to find some information and wound up following from link to link (as procrastinators are wont to do), and wound up on the personal name pages. Is there a reason that Quixote and Lafayette are rendered in small caps? I was thinking is was some sort of vandalism, since it's next to a reference about the "disgusting name" of the musical "Man of La Mancha". Before changing it I was hoping you could let me know what's up so that maybe I wouldn't have to.
