This is my fault. I'm the Will who rang up Bloody Sunday. But hey, while you purists are busy monitoring this page, surely you could help improve it? Oh, and also, what happened to Reucassel's account? You can't log into it, nor can you see the account talk page. Wmoisis 06:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

A notable resident

Greetings from New Zealand. I'm working on a page for Eden George, who was born in Forbes in 1863. He was mayor of Christchurch for a year, and later spent six years in the NSW legislative assembly from 1901 to 1907. The article is in my user space and when it's ready, it'll stay there for a wee while longer for reasons explained on this talk page. If you are happy to contribute to the article, please feel free to do so. It would be much appreciated. If you wish to reply / discuss, please do so on the Eden George talk page.
