[edit] Categories

The "Category" tags have to be added by hand; this ensures that the category pages will update automatically: for example, rather than modifying the four pages "Category: Finnish politicians", "Category: Educators", "Category:1883 births" and "1944 deaths", all I had to do was add those category tags to the article on Fanny Sundstrom.

Stub templates involve category tags as well, but these are not immediately visible.

Am I explaining this sufficiently? DS 12:48, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi! I saw yoy did some copy-editing in Ephialtes of Athens. Thank you very much for that. Seeing the nice job you did I decided to ask you something else: If you have some time, can you have a quick look in Demosthenes and check if there are any major language flaws? I have rewritten the article and I would like to avoid any grammatical or syntactical errors and, since I am not a native English speaker, I want to make sure I haven't miss something. The first half of the article has been copy-edited by another user and it must be Ok. But I'm not sure about the second part.

In any case, thanks again for Ephialtes. I hope you'll continue your excellent contributions in Wikipedia.--Yannismarou 18:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I'm grateful to you. Of you ever need anything I can help, just aske me!--Yannismarou 16:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources

It looks like most of the sources you have been citing are books or other matter not available online. Could I persuade you to migrate these to the format outlined in WP:FOOT/M:Cite.php? This would make clear which portions of article content are supported by which sources. It is important (for various reasons) to know what goes with what, but it with a dozen books in a clunky summer reading list, it becomes difficult to verify even one statement, and impossible to do it quickly. — CharlotteWebb 16:54, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice on the citing of books. I am pretty busy with work at the moment, so I will get onto improving the references when I have some spare time. In the meantime, if you think it better, I am happy to delete the references until I can update them properly. --Chaleyer61 03:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Well if you remove them somebody might assume the entire article is unsourced content, and that would make things worse, possibly. As it is now, we only have to worry about bogus content being added, and later editors taking no action (not reverting) because it appears that generic references are intended to pertain to the article as a whole. Just a thought. — CharlotteWebb 03:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popups

Hey, popups are indeed great. My favourite feature is that I don't have to follow a link every time, but can just get the basic info by just floating over a link. As for the spell check capability, Wikipedia doesn't have one built in, but if you use Firefox 2.0, which will come out on Tuesday (I'm using a release candidate), then spell checking is included, and it works really good.

[edit] Sami Bey Frasheri

Hey, I was just editing the Sami Bey Frasheri entry and saw that you created it. Just for future reference, when categorizing articles, do not include the person in both an upper level (in this case Albanian writers) and a lower level (in this case Albanian people) category. Albanian writers is sufficient. Thanks.--Thomas.macmillan 19:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Appreciation

Hello! I would just like to give you my appreciation of your work with the year articles (5th century BC). They become so much nicer to read when they have extensive information about the events, their background, course, and aftermath/consequences. Thank you! Not being a native speaker of English myself, I translate your texts and add them to the appropriate year article on the Swedish Wikipedia, since I am Swedish. Therefore, I wonder: How far will you go? Will you just do articles BC or continue up till the fall of the Western Roman Empire or what? I'm not trying to pressure you into continuing soon (please, take your time), I'm just curious as to how far you will go. Once again, my big appreciation of your work. /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 12:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
