Most people opposing your edits come from a certain religion from a certain country. They are in the way of knowledge.Bakaman Bakatalk 18:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there. Keep up the good work. Your hard work is appreciated. BTW, as you will notice below, I added a single "!" in the photo name so that it will not display here. Just remove the exclaimation mark when you want to post to an article, etc. Since the photo was copywrited, you would not be allowed to have the image on your talk page. There are admins harping on this lately. Also, if you wanted to, you could create your own sandbox page to store text you are working on for future posts, edits, etc. Just click this link to create it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Robcotton/sandbox If you need anything, just ask. I would be glad to help, discuss matters, etc. Cheers! JungleCat talk/contrib 14:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
