Ain't and amn't

You had offered an opinion about the ain't and contractions of am not articles. Content was moved back into Ain't and I finessed this by renaming the article Ain't and amn't. I do think that the encyclopaedia is better served by a single article rather than multiple articles, but since amn't is not a form of ain't I don' t think that Ain't alone is the right article title. There is ongoing discussion on the Talk page, if you care to look in on it. -- Evertype·✆ 08:37, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Bolding other peoples' comments

I suppose highlighting sections of other peoples' remarks can be regarded as a form of change, and maybe I was tacking a bit too close to the editorial wind in doing so - but I thought the point being made in all these remarks is worthy of emphasis to all editors of the article "the empire on which the sun never sets", as the same problem keeps cropping up again and again in that particular article and others generally. It is a well known phrase that is seen by many and by highlighting this common mistake it makes a useful general reminder, I hope. Cheers Provocateur (talk) 08:30, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

OK, it wasn't a big deal. The point you were making was absolutely right. --Doric Loon (talk) 11:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Create page request

Doric, request for creation of page: Halloween (poem 1785) ...of the bard of Scotland Robert Burns. Read it a few times today (allied with the translations)... and with your grasp of the Scottish dialect you would be well equipped to give it a write up.--KiwiJeff (talk) 11:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I didn't know Burns had written such a poem, but if you give me a link, I will look at it. --Doric Loon (talk) 11:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely, http://www.bbc.co.uk/robertburns/works/halloween/ ..while here analysis/translation for the passages Halloween. I can help with digging for any sources and such.--KiwiJeff (talk) 13:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
