[edit] re:eumetazoa
Hmmm. So sponges are animals but not eumetazoa. Good, then I was correct to stop eumetazoa from redirecting to animal, since they are in fact slightly different definitions. Thank you and welcome to wikipedia. --TheLimbicOne(talk) 10:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Revert
I noticed you removed the link I added to science page that linked to Steve Spangler Science. The reason I added it was not for the stuff you could buy but for the experiments listed on his website here: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiments/all. Do you mind if I re-add the link but linking straight to the experiments for kids? Nzgabriel 22:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] River Shannon
I thank you for your comment on my talk page. I do indeed contest the use of the term, British Isles as a blanket term for Great Britain and Ireland. I am also aware that there is plenty of controversy about this usage on several wikipedia articles, as in fact I have participated in some of those discussions.
Whether or not the term is used by Bord Failte or in the National schools is not at issue. The term reminds me (and many others) of 800 years as a British realm, a period that approaches 900 years for six counties.
So, I will continue in my efforts to contest this usage wherever I encounter it. Regards. Windyjarhead 05:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] You visited Crustaceanguy's page recently
Dmccabe, thank you for your comment about the crayfish. Just remember to put your comments on talk pages instead of user pages. You are new here, aren't you? If you want to discuss an article, for example, Crayfish, type "Talk:Crayfish" in the search box. If you are posting a comment on my user page, type in "User Talk:Crustaceanguy". I am copying your comment to my talk page. Don't worry about it, and thanks again.--Crustaceanguy 13:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
