To East etc.
I'm totally baffled by the pages To West, To East, etc. which are currently listed on Votes for Deletion. Before I cast my own vote, I'd like to know why you created the pages and what they're for. It doesn't appear that any pages actually link to them. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:10, 16 August 2004 (UTC)

Hello
Hi, and another belated welcome to you. If no one has pointed it out to you already, check out the useful info at the Manual of Style. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:41, 17 August 2004 (UTC)

Brent
Saw the edit on Brent..maybe it needs to be clearer. The Brent oilfield is of course named after the crude, but the crude is named after the goose (many of the Nth Sea fields are named after birds, eg Fulmar, Auk, Cormorant etc --GPoss 10:05, 19 August 2004 (UTC)

Now much better, thanks --GPoss 09:33, 24 August 2004 (UTC)

Curry's paradox
Hello. The reason your link to Curry's paradox did not work was your capitalization of the letter P. See Manual of Style. Michael Hardy 23:19, 29 August 2004 (UTC)
