thanks for the voluntary name change --Uncle Ed 21:00 Apr 15, 2003 (UTC)

thanks for the copy editing of my noordzee-afrikaans. I hope you dont mind if I try to write some more occasionally? I lived in Alice EC for a while but I learned little Afrikaans there. I'd love to see the afrikaans wiki take off (finally). Jcwf (nl.wikipedia)

Jeandré, I was going through your contributions and noticed your massive Mahatma-to-Mohandas edits in multiple pages. What is the reasoning behind this change ?

While its true that Mohandas is the first name of Gandhi, he is more popular with the Mahatma name. A search on google would return 205,000 results for "Mahatma Gandhi" as opposed to 30,700 for "Mohandas Gandhi".

If correct linking was your objective, then Mahatma_Gandhi was already being redirected to Mohandas_Gandhi.

In Mumbai you have changed the name of a road by mistake. There is no "Mohandas Gandhi Road", it's "Mahatma Gandhi Road".

A discussion on Mahatma vs Mohandas is certainly needed. I've replied on Talk:Mohandas_Gandhi Jay 22:58, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)

"Jack's home page link", on your user page, doesn't seem to be pointing at anything particularly useful... —Paul A 11:19, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[1] Feature to automatically order interlanguage links alphabetically on what is displayed: "Español | Esperanto", instead of alphabetical listing of 2-letter code ISO 639 codes: "eo es"? -- Jeandré 2003-11-24t13:59z

That's exactly what I meant. For french langage, the interwikis list looks like:

         'af','ar','ms','bs','ca','cs','cy','da','de',
         'et','el','en','es','eo','eu','fr','fy','ga',
         'gl','ko','hi','hr','id','it','ia','he','sw',
         'la','lv','lt','hu','ml','mr','nah','nl','ja',
         'no','oc','nds','pl','pt','ro','ru','sq','simple',
         'sl','sr','fi','sv','tt','vi','tr','uk','vo',
         'zh','zh-cn','zh-tw'

Hi! To answer your question about systematic names for minor planets: for each fortnight, they number them, in order A through Z, then A1 through Z1, A2 through Z2, ... A10 through Z10 ... A100 through Z100.

So, if you see something like GD194, that means they've seen at least 194*26 apparitions in those 14 days. The automated discovery systems are quite remarkable, really. Just one system (LINEAR) has been discovering ~40000 a year (~1500 a fortnight). I'm not sure if we're going to see 26000 per fortnight, though (for three digits). -- hike395 14:34, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I just saw your comment at User:Jesus is Lord!/namechange where you were wondering if the accent in your name would be allowed. I'm fairly sure it is, but it might be useful to make a redirect from User:Jeandre to help people get to your page when they don't know how to type é. Angela. 18:00, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)
