re flying squirrels and shags
Rick--
thanks for adding the Rocky and Bullwinkle reference to the flying squirrel page I have initiated. I've reformatted it slightly since - is that ok with you?
Also I have added yet more meanings for that protean word Shag. --Stephen Lea (an Englishman temporarily in Northern California, sharing your predeliction for complete sentences and accurate facts).

now got round to logging myself in...

Edit wars
I know. Perhaps you should reprotect it but there's no hope in an edit war between Wik and Lir and it seems pointless to keep it protected. It seems very hard to get Wik to stop reverting once he's got the idea into his head. I've had the same problem with him recently myself. Angela 08:43, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
Well I agreed with Wik about the excessive linking but he still accused me of being biased. I'm not sure protecting it will help if he will just revert the minute he gets the chance. Angela 08:48, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
Talk pages
Regarding the talk page message thing - are you using a proxy? This might be affecting it. Angela 08:52, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how to explain it. Proxy server isn't very useful either. Angela 09:04, Nov 2, 2003 (UTC)
I noticed that you moved Kiev to it's most common name. Shouldn't the same be done for Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata (Calcutta), and Chornobyl (Chernobyl). Maximus Rex 03:14, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I'll do what I please to ensure conformity with the guidelines on city names, which stipulates using the modern form if it has caught on in English. However, since you insist on being so obsessed with preserving the old name and not making the article conform to other examples, this issue will have to be resolved on the mailing list.
By the way, I'm not Ukrainian, and while I have visited there I have little interest in the land or its people. My concern is ensuring optimal conformity in Wikipedia so that it is a more usuable resource. Kricxjo 03:29, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)
