Hello there Tokerboy, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to [[Wikipedia:wikipedians|stay]]. If you ever need editing help visit [[Wikipedia:How does one edit a page]] and experiment at [[Wikipedia:Sandbox]]. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]]. If you have any other questions about the project then check out [[Wikipedia:Help]] or add a question to the [[wikipedia:Village pump|Village pump]]. BTW, great work on the Roman mythology articles. Cheers! --[[user:maveric149|maveric149]]
Hi there! I see from my watchlist that you've made a number of link fixes and typo edits. I hope you stick around; attention to detail is a very good trait in a wikipedian! -- [[User:Tarquin|Tarquin]]
Hiya Tokerboy, top piece of work on [[Tuatha de Danaan]]. [[user:sjc]]
You're making a lot of pages with links to redirects to themselves. A page should not link to itself; these should be listed as variants in the article. See [[Tir na n-Og]] (it's fine to have variant redirects, but only one should be listed in bold). -[[User:PierreAbbat|phma]]
You're doing some amazing work on mythological figures. :-) [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]]
:The only problem is, I want to know more; is there an Aztec equivalent of Edith Hamilton's book on Greek myth? [[User:Vicki Rosenzweig|Vicki Rosenzweig]]
::There may be something similar, but non-"classical" mythology (Greek, Roman and sometimes Norse) tend to be mostly ignored, though Joseph Campbell did make some references to Aztecs and whatnot. [[user:Tokerboy]]
:::Yes, that's an area typically overlooked. I have a few books I bought in Mexico; I'll look for them and see if there's anything I can add. Probably not; your articles seem quite good already. [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]]
::::I've only just started on Aztec mythology. It's chock full of holes. [[User:Tokerboy]]

Tokerboy, I just wanted to say that your continuing addition of mythology entries from so many different countries is really impressive. Good job. -- [[User:Zoe|Zoe]]

Tokerboy,
Aren't the New Hebrides now the Republic of Vanatu? If so, the nationality would be Ni-Vanuatu (either singular or plural noun) or Ni-Vanuatu (adjective.). Though perhaps you'd want to say Vanatu, formerly New Hebrides for clarity's sake! [[User:Someone else|Someone else]] 06:46 Sep 25, 2002 (UTC)

Do we need lots of one-sentence articles on Aztec mythological characters? I think it would be better to gather several related ones onto one page and make the rest redirects. -[[User:PierreAbbat|phma]]
----
Can you slow down a little? I just looked at [[Hopi mythology]] and cleared out a large stack of obvious typos, '''and''' removed the instruction to put the text for the new page here. I know you have a lot of info handy, but if it's worth creating a page, it's worth proofreading it.[[User:Vicki Rosenzweig|Vicki Rosenzweig]]

Hey, I just wanted to chirp in that I'm very impressed with the mythology you've been adding. Also, I might agree with Pierre that the articles could all be one page. [[User:DanKeshet|DanKeshet]]

Re: mythology. As somebody who will only be a reader on these pages, when I look at a page like [[Egyptian mythology]], I want to get a good overview of what it's all about, not just a list of names with links. I'm not going to bother clicking 50 links, especially if I know most of them don't have much content. I think it will become obvious when there's too much information on one subject and it ought to be split off. Also, there's no reason we can't duplicate some information on the bigger figures who have their own pages. I'm thinking about the way we're doing [[WikiProject Countries]] with intentional duplication between [[France]] and [[History of France]]. Having said all that, I think you're doing a great job and I wouldn't object to either way. :) [[User:DanKeshet|DanKeshet]]

You just created two articles with invalid box characters in their *titles*. Why didn't you fix the characters in the links instead? -[[User:PierreAbbat|phma]]
The characters from 128 to 159 are invalid, but appear on Windows boxes as apostrophes, dashes, and other such characters. On Unix boxes they appear as boxes, slugs, or nothing. They look like this: ???????????????????????????????? . There is a valid box character; it's used in nested bullet lists. -[[User:PierreAbbat|phma]]
----
Have you considered putting the descriptions of all those Funkadelic songs on the page describing each album? They don't all have unique titles, and besides, many of them look puny on their own--I think they'd be more impressive all on the same page with the CD info. Just a thought. [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]] 19:39 Oct 19, 2002 (UTC)
:Ok, that makes sense. I just didn't know what your plans were. I'm not particularly fond of stubs either, though I know sometimes there are good reasons to create them. It sounds like you've got it under control though. :-) [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]]
::You might consider starting another wikiproject for your template. See e.g. http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=wikiproject for the list of ones that are started already, though I note that movies still aren't (Zoe, Eclecticology, I, & others are just playing that by ear, I guess, though Zoe's been doing the bulk of the work). Anyway, if you started a page specifically for how to write about albums and songs, I'm sure you'd get a good dialogue going about how to do it. [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]]

Thanks again for your efforts at [[Politics of Canada]]. It proves that with a co-operative approach, a lot can be accomplished. For now I'm inclined to leave the National Unity part of that article alone for at least a couple of weeks. As You have rightly said, there are still a few holes in that part. Let's just hope that DW doesn't step back in with his POV's. Some refactoring of the talk page may be a good thing but there's no hurry for that.

I finally bothered to look at my talk page and saw your query. Have left a brief answer on the Politics of Canada talk page....DW
