[edit] Bump·kin (bump’kin) n. [abbrev. Bumpasskin]

Yes you're absolutely correct, but I think you misunderstood. I was simply pointed out the irony that coincidentally an abbreviate of Bumpasskin is Bumpkin. Not that I was trying to say that the latter term was derived from it and as far as "Rustic Capital of World" perhaps "Rustic Capital of the English Speaking World" is a bit more proper. The area has also other local nicknames the most prevalent the B.F.E. which stands for Bum Frick'n Egypt, Bum Fried Egypt, or the more vulgar Bum **** Egypt. Remind me to talk about

[edit] T-rex beetle

No need to thank me. I saw it in Special:Recentchanges and thought it was interesting, so I just filled it out a wee bit. I expect more information will come to light in due course. -- Scjessey 22:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human height

I've just discovered your edit to this page. Your summary: "I see no reason to consider this more dubious than the others, and yes I have read the talk page"

Please explain. -- Smjg 00:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you the one who marked it dubious? If so I would like to hear your explanation. I removed the dubious tag because I couldnt see what was so wrong with it. I even went and looked in the source and there it was. So it seems like okay data to me. Haplolology ^Talk/_{Contributions} 06:24, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

How much of the talk page did you read before you jumped to the conclusion that the explanation wasn't there? -- Smjg 12:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I saw that back when I erased the edit the first time, but I didnt remember that it was you. It didn't even occur to me that it could have been you, because that sentence was about a metric conversion error rather than the accuracy of the data, which is as genuine as any of the others on the Wikipedia page. I didn't bother to fix the conversion error because it is so small (a hundredth of an inch) and data of this type is, as a rule, approximate due to measurement errors. If you wish I will add .01 inches to both measurements, thus bringing them in line with the true metric values, and remove the dubious tag.

Oops, awfully sorry, wrong person. Sterotypy is fine by my count. Sorry. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 21:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Just thought of a joke: accept my Haplolologies..............groan _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 21:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I was patrolling Special:Newpages and saw Stereotypy, and opened your userpage. I am a very nosy person... _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} 22:21, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Reich

Well the first one thats not the best way to do it you can get a pronunciation things at the beginning check Paul Tsongas' page to see what I mean. The second one isn't sited and not all that important Gang14 (talk) 18:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yea thats not needed just the pronunciation Gang14 (talk) 19:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:70.20.250.225

There's no real way to revert all the edits at once, though it is quicker with the rollback tool. Even then, you need to check the edits because some might be OK such as this. If you are using Firefox there is Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Twinkle that can make vandal fighting quicker. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 20:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IBuyStrays.com

Hi Hap,

Thank you for your partisanship, but it still appears you don't completely "get it".

Have you seen this page? http://ibuystrays.com/lies.html

It lists and links the responses to the site from Peta, the president of the US Humane Society, the ALF and other news organizations, and online views from snopes, hoaxapedia, and others. IBS was an international phenomena making a splash in print media as well as online not only in the US but also Europe and Canada, the UK, and Australia. Further, the site is having a real influence on the laws governing class B animal dealers in the US. If you check it out the Lies page, you should appreciate idea behind the site more fully and the effect it has had.

I tried to find an email address for you or some other way to contact you but could not. Please do drop me an email after you see that page (or decide not to) so I'll know you got my message.

Thanks,

[edit] Human height

Hi, I just see your website about human height, very good, but some information was wrong. I have a lot of tables about human height and studies about this. Some of this studies I have put on the "Human Height" here in wikipedia. Tables from Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Philippines, China and Gambia. How you can see, English is not my primary language, but I still can talk, my e-mail is italo.neto@uol.com.br. Help me to edit "Human Height", I'm only a beginner here in wikipedia. Thank's.

[edit] Your web site about Human Height

Hello, first I need to ask you, do you know how to block a page for editing by IP? I ask this because I need to block the human height page to avoid vandals. About your web site, the 167cm for males and the 156cm for females from Brazil is only for rural people. The entire population is 169m and 158m. China 169,7 is wrong, see the real data in the human height page, for Urban and Rural 17 years old chineses boys and girls. All data from "2002 Survey by a Japanese women's clothing outfitter" is wrong because it's not take entire population, again I have post the correct data on Human Height, here in Wikipedia. Another wrong data is from "Vietnam News Agency 2002 report", the height for males in this country is about 162cm. See the Human height's article, there I have posted data from Vietnam, Indonesia, China,India, Iraq, Bahain, Ghana, Gambia, Malawi, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Brazin and Mexico. Again sorry for my bad English, if you need further informations can speak to me! Thank's for your help, friend.

Re [1], thanks for that :) seresin | wasn't he just...? 00:21, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

Sure! All i have as a hint is that you were haplology in this page: User talk:Soap (usurped)... Do you IRC? I'd love to talk to you! --Lolipod (talk) 01:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

[edit] Autism edit

Hi Soap, just letting you know, since you reverted my edit on Autism, that it was a mistake. See my discussion with SandyGeorgia here. Thanks for reverting it, JamieS93 23:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mistaken revert

Sorry about the bad Autism revert. Interestingly, I don't remember doing that, but I'm glad you fixed it. - DaveSeidel (talk) 13:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maple

You might want to look at User:Circeus/Maple, which happens to have a lengthy discussion on the topic of maple etymology. I'm not clear on the sound changes (I can ask people who are more competent than me on it, though), but Ahorn is not related to Latin ācer ("sharp"), but to acer ("maple"), as well as Danish ær, and all three derive from a different PIE root. /k/ to /h/ correspondences are well-known, especially at the initial (e.g. heart vs cor), see Indo-European sound laws, but I have no idea whether or not they are possible in intervocalic position.

Why ask me instead of one of the PIE experts over at ZBB? Circeus (talk) 15:02, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

My hypothesis is that the word is from PIE, not from Latin as Grimm suggests, although as I mentioned, I'm not really versed enough in IE sound change to discuss the topic any further, and it's been a LONG time since I wrote that page. I just noticed that the Friedrich reference (which was very useful, although a bit confusing for me) is not actually listed. It's Friedrich, Paul (1970) Proto-Indo-European Trees: the Arboreal System of a Prehistoric People. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. xv-188 p. ISBN 0-226-26480-7.

[edit] Aloha, Soap!

I was wondering if you had an issue with the username Bastard Soap? You are basically the only person who might be directly offended. I don't think it's a shot at you, but thought you might like to weigh in here at the request for comment. Mahalo, and thanks. --Ali'i 13:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for weighing in. I've closed the request for comment as allow. Thanks! --Ali'i 19:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I've e-mailed you the raw text from the last revision before the speedy was placed. Please be sure the article is up to our standards before it is reposted. If you need anything else, let me know. seresin ( ¡? ) 01:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PeopleCD (Zac Browser)

Thank you for your message - I am new to Wikipedia and would like to ask your help. Please let me know the best way to add value to Wikipedia with Zac - 'I am not making dime' like you describe but know how much it helps children with Autism like my grandson. I have no intention to do anything wrong - please guide me - What do you think would be valuable for Wiki users other than having only a zac page since no one knows the name. Please guide me and I will follow your advice. Regards! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peoplecd (talk • contribs) 12:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry aboot that

I haven't logged into Wikipedia since April (real-life stuff). If you ever have another such thing that you want me to take care of, I'd probably be a bit faster responding to email, since I always check that regularly. -- Consumed Crustacean (talk) 00:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
