Cheers!

Hey Bruce, cheers for the heads-up on the romanisation topic on the forums. :) I see you're a poet and author...cool! I love to write, but I'm not sure my writings pass muster.--Yim Kai-mun 02:01, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Caliphate

My Oxford Dictionary gives the form without the 'h' too, but Wikipedia spells it with an 'h' in its articles on both Caliph & Caliphate, so it's probably just an alternative transcription. Unfortunately there's so far no Arabic at CZ:International. Ro Thorpe 10:46, 25 February 2008 (CST)

Of course I only noticed the final ‘h’ – I blame the pesky italics… I googled around a bit, and it would seem that 'khilafah' is indeed the –ate version, as you suggested. As for which page to use, I think it’s better to use the addressee’s talk page, as it announces ‘you have new messages’. Nice talking to you - Ro Thorpe 16:45, 25 February 2008 (CST)

Gonzales

Check out Gonzales now. I think I fixed it by editing the page. Sometimes the categories do not take after the metadata pages is changed until a minor edit to the article page helps resolves the categories. I'm not sure why that is the case. Chris Day 13:17, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

Bruce, nice job slogging through all those abc changes. Chris Day 17:14, 5 May 2008 (CDT)

Townes Van Zandt

As a poet, I am sure you would love some of the lyrics of Townes Van Zandt. He was much more a poet and not such a good singer. Check out some lyrics on the web. The likes of Willy Nelson, John Prime, Lyle Lovett, EmmyLou Harris and many others have covered his tunes.

Look for these lyrics for a few good samples:

• Flyin' Shoes (covered by Lyle Lovett, who sang it at Townes' funeral)
• Tecumseh Valley (crushing dispare)
• Pancho and Lefty (made famous by Willie Nelson)
• When He Offers His Hand (Gospel)
• White Freight Liner Blues
• No Place to Fall (wife and I love to play this one)
• If I Needed You (covered by several people)
