User talk:Ferrick

This is the talk page. Drop me a line and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. As a sidenote:Yes, I know I still need to make my user page. I'll get that done when I have more time.

Duran Duran[edit]

Hey, thank you for starting "Union of the Snake" -- you did a great job. I love editing this stuff (and am a big Duran fan), but I'm really slow at getting new articles started. If you want to keep filling in the blanks (New Moon on Monday and Ordinary World are the next on my priorities....), I'll keep polishing them up. Best of luck! — Catherine\^talk 23:02, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and done Come Undone, since it involved a bit of untangling from a movie of the same name. :) — Catherine\^talk 18:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great work on expanding that, plenty of nice detail! I didn't have time to go hunt up a picture, thanks for that too.

As far as the signatures go, UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time (at least it does in French, I think), which is the modern equivalent of Greenwich Mean Time, i.e., the time in London. It has become the default time standard for most international/internet projects, and especially for Wikipedia -- things like the Featured Article of the Day on the Main Page change over at midnight UTC. As to how it gets there, there's a shortcut for signing your name on talk pages, just type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. When the page is saved, the software will automatically substitute your username and the current time & date according to UTC.

If you wish to see times (on Recent changes, your watchlist, etc) in your local time, go to "My preferences" and choose the "Dates & Times" tab, and figure out what your offset is from London time (I'm in California, 8 hours behind, at UTC-8). There's lots of other useful things in Preferences -- poke around, and ask if you have more questions. Cheers! — Catherine\^talk 04:13, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
