[edit] ALF

We should really try to avoid 'criticism' sections as they damage the overall flow of the article, lead to trolling and are inherently POV. If you take a look at the archives on People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals there is a lot of discussion on this issue (and on a few other articles related to animal rights). With regards to the 'branding' incident - it is obvious to anyone with a single IQ point that the entire thing is fake but we should still report on it as it was featured in the UK national media. If there are POV issues with the way it is worded we should fix them but we still should include it. I'm not sure of the fish incident, I will look at it closer tomorrow (as it is now almost 2am...). Thanks for your work! Localzuk^(talk) 01:53, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phantom Regiment image?

Saw that you uploaded , but what's the author information for the image? Where'd it come from? We need to know this to ensure it's properly liscensed. If you can add that, that'd be great. Userbox looks good too! Mr Bound 17:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Center on Animal Liberation Affairs

Hi C.lettinga. Regarding: "...the center is comprised of a board of academics, doctors, lawyers, researchers, and activists, aimed at the study and support of the Animal Liberation Front." I can't find any specific assertion of support for the ALF on the page you cite, only the animal-lib movement in general. Am I missing something? Rockpocket 02:13, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you're right, that was a mistake; I've fixed it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by C.lettinga (talk • contribs).

No problem. Also, regarding the sub-pages of the website, I'm not sure there is anyway around that. Therefore the way you have cited it is just fine. Rockpocket 06:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ALFSG

Well, I do not see how a list of animal rights prisoners is related to the organisation. It just seems like a way of overlinking to their site. People can access the list via the organisation's website and lists, in general, are a bad thing. I cannot think of another organisation (for example, Amnesty International) that has a list of prisoners (in amnesty's case it would be a list of prisoners of conscience). I am open to suggestions as to how this list directly relates to the organisation though. -Localzuk^(talk) 10:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The technical question you asked. You link externally using the following format:

• [http://www.bbc.co.uk BBC Website] will give you: BBC Website.

However, in general that sort is link is avoided in the body or articles. Generally numbered referencing is preferred (though it is often used to link externally in the references section itself). Rockpocket 18:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] subst

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Rettetast 20:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roddy While

Thanks mate. I'll leave you to it! Mallanox 02:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block message

You added {{blocked}} to User talk:72.152.43.59. I have removed it because the user has not actually been blocked and I'd rather not have an admin skip over the person thinking they have already been blocked. BigDT 03:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Opps, sorry about that.--C.lettinga 03:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking C.lettinga and C.lettingaAntivandal

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Here is what i think happened, C.lettinga. Your new account was blocked by DakotaKahn (talk • contribs) for violating Wikipedia's username policy (in future, don't make an account with the word "vandal" in the name). Outwith her control, the Wikimedia software logs the IP address of the account that was blocked and then, for a period, blocks anyone else who tries to log in from that IP address. This is known as an autoblock. Its usually only lasts 24 hours. I think I've lifted it early for you (its hard to be sure, as admins are not permitted to see your IP address for security purposes, so it takes a bit of detective work), since you are a good faith editor with no history of vandalism. I will not lift the block on your other account, however, so if you wish to have an anti-vandal account, its best to create another with a more suitable name. If you are still blocked leave a note here and I will look into it further. I will also inform DakotaKahn, so you don't get reblocked. Request handled by: Rockpocket 02:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Still blocked

Hi Rockpocket. I think it was unblock vor a very brief time (maybe a minute), but I probably fouled that up by trying to access my other "anti-vandal" account and it was reblocked. I didn't realize that having "vandal" in a username was a violation. I'll set up another, more appropriate nmae. Sorry, and thanks for fixing this...I'm planning on staying up all night to work on Wikipedia.--C.lettinga 02:47, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I have unblocked you again (I think). Don't try and log in to the other account, as it will retrigger the autoblock. Let me know if you can log into and edit using yourC.lettinga account. Rockpocket 02:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, the problem's now fixed. In the meantime I read up on usernames and sock puppetry, so I now have a much better understanding of all of that. Many thanks.C.lettinga 03:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Excellent. I was a bit startled when I saw you had been blocked, your previous edits were all so good that I wondered why things had gone so bad so quickly! Continue to be bold in your contributions and feel free to drop me a line if you ever need any help of advice. If you wish to stick around and learn the ropes, have a look at the Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User programme. If you are interested (no pressure, though!) I would be happy to adopt you, or, if you would prefer, there are plenty of other experienced editors who would be willing. Happy editing! Rockpocket 03:12, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
