Merge
[edit]The format for the date parameter is "date=August 2007", but it is fine to leave this off, as User:SmackBot will add it for you. Rich Farmbrough, 19:02 20 August 2007 (GMT).
Kudos
[edit]Thanks for taking care of the paperless geocaching merge. I haven't been around much lately to edit, but it was one of those things I agree with but never got around to suggesting or mandating on my own. Keep up the good work! ju66l3r 02:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
