message: Hello all, there are the new Scottish English userboxes. These userboxes replaced , since ISO 3166-2:GB#BS-only codes shows Scotland's code to be gb-sct, not "sc". For more details, see Wikipedia:Userboxes/Non-ISO Languages#en-gb-sct (Scottish English). Cheers! Taric25 16:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't the policy to discuss before making changes that very specifically affect something across hundreds of userboxes - consensus?  after all these are choices made by individual editors - now having their language rolled into "GB" - whatever that means (see discussion above) SFC9394 17:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, on further inspection you simply shouldn't be doing that Taric -  that's someone's user page - you can make one change on good faith - but you should not be reverting - most certainly because this isn't in any severe polemic area. SFC9394 17:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi everyone. I am asking on behalf of the family of John Emery (bobsleigh) - he recently died and they are hoping to help expand his Wikipedia article. They have reliable secondary sources to help tell his story. I live in his adopted hometown, Sonoma, where his widow lives. It would be a conflict of interest for me and I am not interested in helping to fully facilitate this (I'm focused on Commons right now, too). Is there anyone who I can put them in touch with?

message: Is "Zavikon Islands" the official name? I remember reading somewhere that both the islands are actually called "Zavikon Island" collectively (it was some forum or some site like Reddit, and the poster claimed to be a local -- so that was not a reliable source). User:WebMachiavelli states above that the two islands have different names. A search for "Zavikon Island" on Natural Resources Canada websites indicates that this thing is in Canada. A search on for "Zavikon Island" or "Zavikon" on United States Geological Survey's GNIS website fails with "No data found".

Talk:Scorpion Macehead

message: One nice book, on Ancient Egypt, by a woman related that by the time of the Narmer Palette, and Scorpion Macehead, that these artefacts which we have inherited, as planet Earth, and Homo sapiens,....she actually proposed that they are referred to as "Historical Documents", and the beginning of what became to be known as "State Archives". The precursors(to these)(like Libyan Palette, etc), animal-fused Palettes, and pictorial, and theme driven, also contained some of the first uses of the Proto-hieroglyphs: for LAND, or FOREIGN land, and Foreigner-(many etc.'s).
At the time, I was accumulating books, and learning hieroglyphs, and retranslating the Rosetta Stone and sychronizing it with the Greek, (as well as some of the Egyptian Demotic). I then stepped back to work on the Decree of Canopus, part of the series, before tackling the Rosetta Stone fully(this is Text corpus, and Part-of-speech tagging tho I was unaware of the terms). But, I think this woman is correct. These are also the final items in the series of the Palettes, and Maceheads. The country, the "Riverworld" of Egypt was forming, hieroglyphs, language, and the pyramids were soon to follow. ....Notes from a SonoranDesert guy, ArizonaUSA--..Mmcannis 13:08, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
