Thanks for your help with Chicano/Mexican-American--Rockero 00:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)





Thanks for tidying up my DYK nominations - I have noticed your smartening up most of them recently. It feels a bit like wikistalking, but in a positive way, so thanks. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and pointing my attention to that error [at Duke of Caxias], however, I simply removed the remark about Sao Paulo etc. I left additional comments on that article's talk page. Please try to find any other errors, as the Portuguese article seems very vague and hard to read (as I am not a native speaker of that language, it was even harder).



But anyway, thanks NOVO-REI 16:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
