Hello, Dmccabe, and

- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a
{{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! --Flockmealre:eumetazoa
Hmmm. So sponges are animals but not eumetazoa. Good, then I was correct to stop eumetazoa from redirecting to animal, since they are in fact slightly different definitions. Thank you and welcome to wikipedia. --TheLimbicOne(talk) 10:02, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Revert
I noticed you removed the link I added to science page that linked to Steve Spangler Science. The reason I added it was not for the stuff you could buy but for the experiments listed on his website here: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiments/all. Do you mind if I re-add the link but linking straight to the experiments for kids? Nzgabriel 22:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
River Shannon
I thank you for your comment on my talk page. I do indeed contest the use of the term, British Isles as a blanket term for Great Britain and Ireland. I am also aware that there is plenty of controversy about this usage on several wikipedia articles, as in fact I have participated in some of those discussions.
Whether or not the term is used by Bord Failte or in the National schools is not at issue. The term reminds me (and many others) of 800 years as a British realm, a period that approaches 900 years for six counties.
So, I will continue in my efforts to contest this usage wherever I encounter it. Regards. Windyjarhead 05:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
You visited Crustaceanguy's page recently
Dmccabe, thank you for your comment about the crayfish. Just remember to put your comments on talk pages instead of user pages. You are new here, aren't you? If you want to discuss an article, for example, Crayfish, type "Talk:Crayfish" in the search box. If you are posting a comment on my user page, type in "User Talk:Crustaceanguy". I am copying your comment to my talk page. Don't worry about it, and thanks again.--Crustaceanguy 13:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Seastars
"I requested a move back to seastars and then realized that that fight has been fought and lost. It's rather like using 'data' as a singular for me. We loose credibility as an encyclopedia when we stoop to the level of a popularity contest. I suppose that's the disadvantage of consensus; sometimes the popular is also simply wrong. O well, thanks for fighting your piece of it Dmccabe (talk) 01:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)"
Worse than that, in this case there was no consensus, the issue had been debated and decided the other way previously, and all editors that had actually contributed to the article voted to keep it as was.
This was an admin on a mission, and killed my interest in editing wikipedia.--Shoka (talk) 17:21, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
