Hey
That was an impersonal welcome, this is a personal welcome. I guess you're this John Tinsley, if so, it would be cool if you'd help expand our page on Example-based machine translation. It is currently very lacking. You may also be interested in the ACLWiki, a Wiki for computational linguistics related topics. Any questions, feel free to ask me, - Francis Tyers · 11:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. When removing chunks of an article, could you please give an outline in your edit summary, and/or make an entry in the article talk page explaining your rationale? What you removed was relevant information, broadly in line with similar content found in other football referee articles. I have therefore reverted your edit. If you still disagree with the info being included, please feel free to discourse here or here. Any further unexplained removal of content may be construed as vandalism. Thanks.

Nice one
I was watching the Portugal match and noticed Pleat's regular references to the Czech Republic as Czechoslovakia; glad I wasn't the only one! If I'm honest, the guy shouldn't be in the gantry at all - really ought to have done his research! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by QPRbrad (talk • contribs) 18:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
