'''Challenger, Gray & Christmas''', with headquarters located in [[Chicago, Illinois]], is the oldest executive outplacement firm in the US. It has offices in 52 cities in the US and [[Canada]], and has operations in [[Japan]] and [[Mexico]]. The firm also conducts regular surveys and issues reports on the state of the economy, employment, job-seeking, layoffs and [[executive compensation]]. They also conduct one-off surveys on such subjects as workplace bullying, lost productivity due to the Super Bowl, and working women. Their core business, finding jobs for laid-off executives, is unusual in that they will only accept as clients people whose former companies will sponsor the client's job search.

Hello there! Just a short note to thank you for your vote for me in the sysop poll last week. I feel so privileged to be able to play a part in this fantastic project, and it meant a lot to one that you voted in my favour. Thank you so much. [[User:Davidcannon|David Cannon]] 10:16, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No, I'm not planning on changing those redirs to disamb pages. Some time ago I defined what dab means to me (most link changes that are better at getting to the most appropiate, least ambiguous article) on my [[User:Niteowlneils/edit summary glossary|edit glossary]] and no one else has commented on it. I believe I've seen others use it similarly. My understanding/belief is that it is preferred that users not see redirect messages at the tops of pages unnecessarily. The other main reason I go thru getting rid of redir messages is because, while I'm at the page anyway, I regularly find other, often more serious, issues to fix (I enjoy Wikipedia "housekeeping" far more enjoyable than adding articles). As for the specific page you mentioned, I thot the text comments were clear enuf that the same point was made still with my changes, but apparently you don't agree, so I won't bother trying to make them again.

I noticed that you removed the words antediluvian , nascence & paroxysms. I use Wordweb as my electronic dictionary.
'''Antediluvian''' literaly means "'''before the Deluge'''." In terms of years, it translates to before 1500 BC. Although it is derived from the great flood, it also means ancient. '''Nascence''' means '''birth'''. '''Paroxysms''' mean '''sudden attack''' (generally used for fits). The reason why I am mentioning you this is that I have improved my vocabulary thanks to wikipedia. A simple English page is a feature of Wikipedia, so if anyone has a difficulty in understanding high english, he can refer to the article there. I had put up these words so that other wikipedians could benefit. [[User:Nichalp|Nichalp]] 20:06, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC) (Re: on my talk)
== Canadian reserves ==
Originally there was a fair bit of information about Canadian reserves in [[Indian reservation]], which is probably why it had a category link to ''Canadian Indian reserves''. Then the information was moved to [[Indian reserve]], and it just seemed to me that there wasn't enough about reserves in the article about reservations to justify the category link. If you think a link is appropriate I won't be upset if you put it back. And thanks for asking. [[User:PBrain|PBrain]] 01:36, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
:It had struck me, too, that there wasn't a lot about reservations in the article, either, and your solution seems appropriate. The history of reservations seems interesting (I did a little research on the Munsee, who got royally shafted in Oklahoma) but a proper treatment probably requires someone a little more familiar with American history than I am.

==[[User:King Moonraiser]]==
This user is turning all of this thing about his editing to '''[[The Rowdyruff Boys]]''' into an edit war. He says "many fans of the [[Powerpuff Girls|show]] wanted the boys to reappear on the show." I tried to say that were weren't terribly many out there, but he's giving me a hard time. And besides, he doesn't have to much value here because all he spends his time doing is editing the Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls pages, and has not made very many edits. [[User:Marcus2|Marcus2]] 16:01, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
In other words, this user claims that 462 people signed some petition over the internet in favor for the Rowdyruff Boys to make another appearance on Powerpuff Girls, and from what I know since the time the show came out, I don't think that there was a lot, and 462 doesn't sound like a big number to me. So it's better to leave some things out if they're argued about. As a matter of fact I think my edition looks better than his. [[User:Marcus2|Marcus2]] 16:19, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
:Well, I can't really see why you are getting so worked up about this. I don't see anything especially objectionable to the information Moonraiser is adding. Obviously SOME fans do care. If you object to the exact phrasing, please try to work it out with Moonraiser. [[User:Bkonrad|older]]<font color=blue>'''≠'''</font>[[User talk:Bkonrad|wiser]] 18:24, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I've changed a database setting. Please let me know if you still have a problem with your watchlist. You might - it's a case of trying raising a limit until the problem goes away. [[User:Jamesday|Jamesday]] 09:40, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
== Georgia state highway numbers for interstates ==
These are the correct [[GDOT]] state highway numbers for the [[interstate highway]]s that run through [[Georgia (state)|Georgia]]. Eventually, I'm sure there will be a [[list of Georgia state highways]], and this will make everything consistent. –[[User:Radiojon|radiojon]] 03:23, 2004 Jul 18 (UTC)
== Sethbot ==
It's not because of the text; thousands of other redirects such as [[Syracuse, UT]], work just fine (for me, at least). The database has been doing ten thousand wonky things lately; I suspect this is one of them and will be hashed out by the developers before too long. - [[User:Seth Ilys|Seth Ilys]] 02:50, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
