Requirement for Expert (Fiat currency)
I can appreciate how you feel the need for the contribution of an "expert" to the page on Fiat Currency (really should be Fiat Money). But I left an objection to the call on that article's Talk page, which I hope you'll read. After you've done so, I would hope that regardless of whether you agree with my objections, you might review the page you marked almost a year ago and see if perhaps some expert (identified or not) may have addressed what was bothering you when you posted the notice. --Joe (talk) 03:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I have responded to your criticism of my edits to fiat money in the fiat money discussion board. For the life of me, I have no idea how anyone could tell someone that they are violating neutrality by posting historical fact regarding well known critics if fiat money in the section dedicated to criticism of fiat money. --Prestonp (talk) 01:56, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Bucks
I'd just like to say one thing. Please do not call my edits vandalism. Counties exist for more than purely political reasons. I will add ceremonial Buckinghamshire since it seems to be the accepted form but that doesn't mean I agree with it. A man living in Olney may apply for planning permission to Milton Keynes Borough Council but he may also put Bucks on his address. However, since I can't act on my own views here on Wikipedia, I will follow the guidelines and put in the cumbersome word that is 'ceremonial'.

 * I'll just say one thing before I let this matter rest. I'm pretty sure that a foreign reader would not care about the politics of the area they are looking at. Knowing that Olney is administered by MK Borough may be of use to some, but not to most. To me, a county is a county and I personally will always say Milton Keynes is in Buckinghamshire (which it is) and MK Borough is in Bucks (which it is). Of course those examples do not apply politically- but culturally they do. Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  21:33, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I've re-added the template to Milton Keynes grid road system as the template covers all of ceremonial Buckinghamshire (I created it). Any Buckinghamshire-related transport article can be included in the template- so I've added it back. Thanks.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  20:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't about categories, it's about templates. I don't care about the categories on the page, just the template, which brings together Bucks related pages. Since there is no template, the most appropriate template is the Bucks one, it's not a question of categories.  Oliver Fury, Esq.  message  •  contributions  20:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah maybe my words were not chosen well- I was just frustrated because of the confusion between categories and templates. I have stopped the Category:Transport in Buckinghamshire from being added to the article that the template is transcluded to. I hope that's all right.
