Hi There!

Hi, I saw your addition of taxbox for the article I created yesterday on the pinfish. Thanks for doing that. If you happen to have a free-use picture of a pinfish, I'd be grateful if you posted it; otherwise, I'm going to make it down to my bay house on Galveston next month (when all the Ike repairs are finally complete) so I'll catch a pinfish and photograph it, GNU the pic and add it to the site.
Anyway, mostly I just wanted to introduce myself, as I saw from your contributions you are fellow fish lover, and seem to be acquainted with some of the same fish I regularly encounter (eg speckled trout), and then I saw on your User Page you are into knots, so I thought you might be a fellow sailer like myself. I hope we can collaborate on some fish pages soon. Mmyers1976 (talk) 16:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Cool :O) Glad to meet you.

You know, I spent some quite time looking around the web for a free pinfish picture, with no luck. It wasn't until you asked that a light bulb lit up above my pointy little head, and I realized that I probably do have a couple myself. Hehheh. Well, they're probably not really encyclopedia material, so if I find one, I'll put it up, but we'll want to replace it with yours when we can.

Actually, I'm an Arizonan stuck in Baltimore. It was on vacation that I caught a pinfish in the Currituck Sound, and I only know the speckled trout from wasting time at work :O) I only sail in my dreams. I'm also a bit lazy, but collaboration is always good.

Nice job on the pinfish article by the way. Walrus heart (talk) 21:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Moving "Pop-up Satellite Archival Tag" to "Pop-up satellite archival tag"

Hi! I saw that you moved my "Pop-up Satellite Archival Tag" article to "Pop-up satellite archival tag". This is something I've wondered about for quite sometime: if title is an acronym or initialism, shouldn't each word of the title be capitalized (until an ordinary article title)? For example, the GNU Free Documentation License article capitalizes each word. Why wouldn't this be the case for my PSAT article? AndrewGarber (talk) 08:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

My understanding is that the article title would be capitalized if it were 'PSAT', but because it is spelled out, it gets ordinary casing. By contrast, GNU Free Documentation License is capitalized because it is a proper noun. Walrus heart (talk) 14:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Abuelita article

Hi- I made a change to the Abuelita article regarding the shape of the tablets (corrected hexagonal to octagonal), which you undid. Perhaps they are sold differently in different locations, but the ones I buy in Texas are round disks divided into 8ths, with two of the divided sections merged into one for a total of 7 divisions. Is it different wherever you are from? Or perhaps "imprinted round disks" is a better descriptor than either of the other two. Cgerbode (talk) 00:10, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Actually, that wasn't me; it was Alansohn. One of the subtler and more difficult to combat forms of vandalism is when people just substitute one number with another. Alansohn probably assumed that you were trying to introduce a sneaky error, distrusting your edit because it came from an unregistered user. But what do I know? Someone should upload a picture of a whole tablet. Best wishes :O{) Walrus heart 19:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
