Foobar

The information you added to the Foobar article was interesting. I've always appreciated the Colossal Cave adventure game and its story; however, I don't really think it helps to understand the etymology of the term (which predates the adventure game). I've removed it from the article for the time being. Thanks for contributing, and I hope you'll continue. Dpv 00:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Architect

Hello, I just removed the text in the Architect about his similarity to Freud and the other gentleman. It's interesting, but not cited. If you can provide a cite from a reliable source that says this, it'll be okay to keep it. Otherwise it will need to be kept out as no editor can form their own conclusions. (Just so you know, I agree with the "Freud" resemblance and manerism). KoshVorlon'_Nal^uboutes _Aeria^Gloris 13:14, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2023

Hello, I'm Apocheir. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mnemonics in trigonometry, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Apocheir (talk) 21:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There don't seem to be many citations for the other mnemonics either.

I got "Some People Have, Curly Black Hair, Through Perpetual Brushing" from my father back around 1969-70, and he was born in 1909

The only excursion from the article is that I'm looking at using Perpendicular/Base/Hypotenuse rather than Adjacent/Opposite/Hypotenuse. And that's based on how/where you were taught...I was taught in the UK. H-b-g (talk) 23:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Barbarella cast

Hey! I created a discussion on the barbarella cast. I think we could do your version, but let's not have two at the same time. I've put up some new talk on the talk page so we aren't just edit warring endlessly. I'm sure we can come to a conclusion that makes us both content. Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

I'll use the TALK page to continue this.

As you say, no need for edit warring. h-b-g (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
