[edit] List of number one singles in the United Kingdom

Please stop deleting valid information and do not call my additions vandalism. The midweek charts show that 3 Of A Kind are selling out the #2 single by 2:1. So the number one position is almost guaranteed. The reason why this feat correlates with the date August 21 is that the British charts are classified by the traditional publication date of Musik Week. The charts published on August 21 cover the sales between August 9 and August 17. -- 141.40.169.176 15:53, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I concede the word vandalism was too strong in this case. However, just because something is "almost guaranteed" does not mean that it is fact. I would suggest the addition of a note such as "(Predicted)" in front of the entry would help clarify things. CheekyMonkey 23:15, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Do we consider an US president as elected from November on or from his inauguration in January on? I've just added a note that might help to indicate the provisional character of this information. -- 141.40.169.176 04:23, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I looked at the page history and it certainly made more sense with the "as indicated by midweeks sales" note. Although Auximines has now removed the entry. No hard feelings and I'll certainly be more careful in future before using the vandalism word. CheekyMonkey 09:18, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Glycophorin C

On Glycophorin C:

The 'p55' is a pointless link. There are hundreds of p55's in the literature. There is only one in the red cell so that partciular usage is OK in an articlce on the red cell. An ambiguation page probably would not help as most of these p55 sound similar to the inexperienced. Not to worry - this is an area where expertese is needed.

  • That's a fair enough point. A disambiguation page would certainly be a nightmare to maintain. I'm tempted to say that a generic page explaining that the p-number refers to the size of the polypeptide in kDa might be useful. However even this wouldn't completely solve the problem as functions and even in-order-of-discovery can apply instead. CheekyMonkey 23:05, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks :)

I recently made it my goal to write from scratch or greatly enhance three articles per week, preferably from the "request articles" page. I would do more, but the graduate student lifestyle is a demanding one. ClockworkTroll 23:35, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] A quick note to say thanks

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you again for your support in my request for adminship. It was certainly a wild ride, and I really appreciate you taking some time out to contribute. ClockworkSoul 16:10, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Ewe (people)

Only thirteen minutes after I made the faulty redirect into a substub you came along to double the article in size :). That was fast! Cheers, — mark ✎ 22:20, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Heh, I was just lurking around Recent Changes and African stubs are a bit overlooked generally. CheekyMonkey 22:31, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Architecture of Btrieve

The indexing section now has a diagram, as you suggested on WP:FAC#Architecture of Btrieve. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:27, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:UK Wikipedians

Hi, just to let you know that the list of UK participants at the UK notice board was getting rather long, so I have replaced it with the above category which I have added to your user page. -- Francs2000 | Talk 30 June 2005 19:00 (UTC)

[edit] 'fraid so...

... tragic, ain't it? :P Actually, someone close to me got an offer to buy shares way below market price by this man, so figured it was time to start a Wikipedia article about him. - Ta bu shi da yu 16:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

True :-) I'll listen to the voice of reason and go to bed now! :P Ta bu shi da yu 16:25, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] thanks (hyperglycinemia)

I'd just realized my error (must be too early for proper reading?) and was digging around to write something -correct- about hyperglycinemia, when I saw you'd fixed it. Are you going to write the page/stub on nonketotic hyperglycinemia, or shall I? Csari

That was a fast link [or what ever] to Frederick Moynihan . Carptrash 18:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks CheekyMonkey :-)

I very much appreciate your kind note on my talk page! - Ta bu shi da yu 12:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks CheekyMonkey!

I really appreciate your edit here to "Mifunesaurus". Even little edits like that vastly improve the quality of one of the shortest dinosaur articles on Wikipedia. If only there were a hundred more people like you! Thanks so much. I did make one minor change, though, changing "described" back to "coined", as the rest of the stub says it hasn't yet been formally described, it looks odd for the last sentence to say it was described. Anyway, thanks again! And feel free to edit any of the other hundreds of dinosaur stubs with those much-needed additions! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 20:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Your observation about there being so few on-line sources for many of these dinosaurs is spot on, Cheeky. It's really frustrating to want to expand an article, but have no information. Many sites will list a dinosaur, but give no other detail.
If you're still interested in trying to expand some of the shortest articles, might I suggest the Dinosaur Mailing List? It sometimes takes months for newly described dinosaurs mentioned there to appear on Google, and since many of those folks are actual paleontologists, it cuts out the "middleman" approach, getting the info from a web-site: you get the straight dope from real experts. Plus, they have a searchable database that works pretty well. Some of the threads go off-topic, but there's a lot of valuable material there. Anyway, thanks again, Firsfron of Ronchester 21:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
