Time

I listed Time as needing attention because right now the page is really confused. It doesn't really help the reader answer the question, "So what is time anyway?" I think a good first step would be to merge Intellectual history of time into it; that would really convey relevant info. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I feel underqualified, too, because I know nothing at all about the physics or the philosophy behind the concept of time. Fishal 16:05, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This and other questions relating to time will now be handled in the Project Time talk page. Thanks Fishal for comment. FrankP 18:19, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

World weights and measures

Welcome to the World Citizens, Frank. But how many pennyweight in a stone? Quick, now, you should know all of those exciting relationships! Robin Patterson 10:37, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hello Frank

I just noticed your name here. This is Richard Adam from FOE. Hope you are well. By the way, I looked at your athiestguide website which is very interesting but it has no links to it. Have you thought about listing it with "http://www.dmoz.org/", then google will pick it up. Chilepine 12:03, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Category:UK Wikipedians

Hi, just to let you know that the list of UK participants at the UK notice board was getting rather long, so I have replaced it with the above category which I have added to your user page. -- Francs2000 | Talk 30 June 2005 19:25 (UTC)

Hello

Sorry about lame hello, but I came interested in your Atheism as a belief system. I agree, though not technically considering myself Atheist. But I can't help but applaud any Briton from denouncing the monarchy! Incidentally I believe Scots flying the Lion Rampant is also illegal, right? I'd like to see that enforced at every Highland games! Khirad 10:51, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

World Citizen userbox, {{User world}}

Hi, I noticed the message saying you're a World Citizen, I would like to invite you to add {{User world}} to your user page if you wish to proclaim it in a more effective way, and this template will also add you automatically to the Wikipedians with World Citizenship category. :) --Mistress Selina Kyle 23:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{Timefact}} displays ^{{chronology source needed}} for requesting timelines, dates and chronology sources. Click here for more information

News Recent Project News Time Times I, Zginder, have started this the official newsletter of the project. This newsletter is part of the Time Times, which has been created to update our members on the latest news at the project and on time.

Less than 200 are assessed though, plenty of work for us to do. Portal:Time now working thanks to Yamara. Project member count reaches 11 members! Keep inviting all your WikiFriends.
