List of largest US universities by enrollment

where did you get your University of Minnesota figures? They include non-degree students in the count, which are neither undergraduate nor graduate students. Rkevins82 - [[User talk:Rkevins82|TALK]] 21:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

RE: University of Minnesota figures, I got all the numbers and rankings from the Nov 14, 2005 edition of the Columbus Dispatch. Front page. Maybe I should have cited my source, but data from the previous years hasn't been cited, either. Thanks for fact-checking me -- Wild Goose 22:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for updating those. Do you think we should include or exclude non-degree students? I would vote for not including. Are you a Columbus native? You have made some good edits on area attractions. Rkevins82 - [[User talk:Rkevins82|TALK]] 00:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

If you can find accurate numbers that do not include non-degree students, by all means, make the appropriate edits. And yeah, I've spent most of my life here in Bustown. Go Clippers! Wild Goose 13:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Page Blanking

On 11-Feb, you blanked Ninja Turtles Character Guide. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. In cases of duplicate content, you should use a redirect. I have redirect this page to List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 14:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Oop, my bad. Thanks for fixing it for me.Wild Goose 16:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. -- JLaTondre 17:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Onion revert

I'd like to commend you for the hilariously-titled revert on the American Revolution article. You are a true patriot.--Daveswagon 21:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

TMNT

"Borne" is indeed, the past participle of the verb "to bear", as you point out. I assumed it was supposed to be "born" as in birth, not "borne" as in carry. I think your subsequent change makes it clear though - thanks for the welcome.--Kitty Davis 22:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:AUT 0345.JPG

Just to give you the heads up, your photo of a National Road mile marker has an obsolete tag on it. On the photo page, there is a tag that lists what new tags you should use instead. Please update this so the photo is not deleted in time. Thanks! -Hoekenheef 21:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the heads up. I think it's fixed now. --Wild Goose 23:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Translation, please do not dump incoherent, machine-translated text into Wikipedia articles. An unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing. BuddingJournalist 05:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

My bad. I was not familiar with that guideline. Thanks for the note. --Wild Goose 05:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:TMNTV1No31.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TMNTV1No31.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
