Bobby Sands

Probably not minor edits, but nice balancing NPOV on the Bobby Sands article. -- Solipsist 20:46, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

CHP

Good work on filling out the stub. But as a Turkish Jew I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the term "irreligious" which might sound somewhat too strong, and also Turkish Jews do not have a tradition of backing up CHP; this phenomenon is true only after the weakening of the central right and the rise of the "islamist" AKP, currently in power. -- leandros 08:35, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hey, Gerry... just a heads-up... your edit on Turkish Islamism in Islamism was definitely not a minor edit. In general, the minor edit flag should only be used for small, grammatical changes - changes that don't affect the meaning of the text. The inclusion of new information, especially a substantial paragraph like your edit, is definitely not minor. Cheers! Graft 18:52, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

STV

Thanks, Gerry. If I understand you correctly, the results were proportional to the voting population, but not to the general, or even voting-eligible population? DanKeshet 19:00, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Roads in Ireland

Great work on the Roads in Ireland article. Perhaps eventually the background to this interesting topic (as anyone driving in Ireland will have discovered) can be expanded such that the lists can be move to a seperate article.

I expanded the primary routes in the Republic up to N30, I'm not so keen on going further and listing all secondary routes. At some stage I'll have to determine where the dividing number is (routes below 3X or something primary, above that no., secondary) - if I can determine the number range occupied by secondary routes it'd be handy - I've often wonder what no.s are used and which not.

Galactic halo

Thanks for your kind words - and for the good start that you gave galactic halo (it was good enough to make the main page in "Did you know..." otherwise I wouldn't have spotted it). -- ALoan (Talk) 11:50, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, it is pretty much of a lottery, but well done anyway! Thanks for correcting my SagDEG/SagDIG error. I've added in the bulge too now. -- ALoan (Talk) 13:07, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Translation/copyediting request

Hi.
Someone seems to have posted an automatic translation of Kardes_Turkuler from its native language. Perhaps you could have a look at the original version on tr: and fix it up a bit. --Smack 20:57, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hello, Hope i'm not ruining your page, but you said leave messages here. The kurds are definitly not of iranian origin if by iranian you mean persian. however the kurds are an indo-european people linguisticly and as indoeuropean is also known as aryan and iran means land of the aryans in some ways kurds are 'iranian'.another point: i'm a zaza kurd and i'm not insulted if you call me a kurd this is like saying a irishman would be insulted if you called him irish. There is a linguistic difference betwen zaza (dimli) and other kurdish dialects but the truth is the difference between kurds and zaza in politics is mainly a fabrication of the turkish state which is trying to "divide and conquer" my people. Also if you want to see what the turkish state is capable please look as this picture on this link: http://kurdistan.org/Multimedia/turkey.html Thanks.
