Nice work on David Ford. With that, allow me to say, Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!

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)

Northern Ireland
Good work on the Northern Ireland edit. FearÉIREANN 16:34, 20 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.
NI immigrants and the constitutional question
Hello Gerry,
I've read that many asian immigrants have come to NI in recent years. Since they have little background in NI, how do they stand on the constitutional question?

Hi. Thanks for uploading Image:Uca.jpg. You'd left a note that it is used with permission, but you didn't supply a copyright tag. Could you look at that image's description page to see if I tagged it accurately? Thanks! Kbh3rd 00:49, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

PKK
Hi, I have lived on Turkey for about 2-3 years, although I had picked up some Turkish I can only trasnlate so much. The timeline in the artilce is from Turkish wikipedia and I am having difficulty traslating it. I would appriciate a hand. --Cool Cat My Talk 08:52, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Belfast, WW2 reference
Why remove the reference, and not simply edit it down?
- Because I don't think it's a hugely significant event in the history of the City, even speaking as someone who grew up in an area which had been heavily bombed in '41. It pales in comparison to a lot of other events in Belfast history, and the bombing of cities like Portsmouth and Coventry, let alone cities in Germany or the USSR. I suppose we really need to do up a better history of Belfast between us all. Regards. Gerry Lynch 17:26, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Good answer, I appreciate your work on this entry. Nearside 17:58, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Welsh Assembly Election, 2007
You shouldn't move pages by just copying and pasting the contents to a new page - instead, use the move function, that's what it's there for! Now the previous history (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Welsh_Assembly_Election_2007&action=history) of the article is behind the redirect, not the article itself. I've listed the page on Wikipedia:Administrator's noticeboard, so that an admin can move the history across. sjorford →•← 12:50, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- I didn't know how to do that. Thanks! Gerry Lynch 13:49, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
