List of largest US universities by enrollment
where did you get your University of Minnesota figures? They include non-degree students in the count, which are neither undergraduate nor graduate students. Rkevins82 - &#91;&#91;User talk:Rkevins82&#124;TALK]] 21:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * RE: University of Minnesota figures, I got all the numbers and rankings from the Nov 14, 2005 edition of the Columbus Dispatch. Front page. Maybe I should have cited my source, but data from the previous years hasn't been cited, either. Thanks for fact-checking me -- Wild Goose 22:38, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for updating those. Do you think we should include or exclude non-degree students?  I would vote for not including.  Are you a Columbus native?  You have made some good edits on area attractions. Rkevins82 - &#91;&#91;User talk:Rkevins82&#124;TALK]] 00:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * If you can find accurate numbers that do not include non-degree students, by all means, make the appropriate edits. And yeah, I've spent most of my life here in Bustown. Go Clippers! Wild Goose 13:59, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Page Blanking
On 11-Feb, you blanked Ninja Turtles Character Guide. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. In cases of duplicate content, you should use a redirect. I have redirect this page to List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 14:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oop, my bad. Thanks for fixing it for me.Wild Goose 16:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Onion revert
I'd like to commend you for the hilariously-titled revert on the American Revolution article. You are a true patriot.--Daveswagon 21:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

TMNT
"Borne" is indeed, the past participle of the verb "to bear", as you point out. I assumed it was supposed to be "born" as in birth, not "borne" as in carry. I think your subsequent change makes it clear though - thanks for the welcome.--Kitty Davis 22:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Just to give you the heads up, your photo of a National Road mile marker has an obsolete tag on it. On the photo page, there is a tag that lists what new tags you should use instead. Please update this so the photo is not deleted in time. Thanks! -Hoekenheef 21:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the heads up. I think it's fixed now. --Wild Goose 23:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Per Translation, please do not dump incoherent, machine-translated text into Wikipedia articles. An unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing. Budding  Journalist  05:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My bad. I was not familiar with that guideline. Thanks for the note. --Wild Goose 05:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
