[edit] American Filmmakers

I thought you would like to know that I've submitted the category to Categories for deletion for either a rename or merge. Caerwine 14:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comma before LoPbN dates?

Hi, and thanks for your contribs on List of people by name-tree pages!

You may be interested something that's been diffidently discussed for over a year, but hasn't gotten any attention since i asked for opinions on resolving it about 6 months ago. I've put a lot of commas between the link to the subject's bio and their parenthesized dates of birth &/or death, since that has been the predominant approach for a long time, but my cautiousness about a change has been the strongest opinion for it that i've heard for a while before, and since then.

Earlier this week, i announced my intention to eliminate the comma before (but not the one after) the dates, come the new year; that too has brought no response.

Your interest in the pages suggests you're among those whose continued silence should justify my confidence in that move, so i hope you'll speak up at Talk:List of people by name#Commas if you've got enough of an opinion to bother commenting on it.

[edit] Hey there

I haven't heard any more info on Wikipeople, it seems like the discussion is on hiatus. For finding information on more obscure people I use ancestry.com and rely on asking living family members questions. I enjoy writing biographies on ordinary people. I always thought it was a shame for someone to day and only have a paragraph in a funeral notice. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 03:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "St." on LoPbN

_ _ Thanks for your obviously careful reading of several LoPbN pages, and please accept my regrets for reverting your edit of List of people by name: St, which conformed perfectly. After reverting you, i re-read the instructions there, and recognized my own voice, telling editors to put names on that page that claimed it would never have names! It doesn't seem anyone changed what i orginal wrote, capturing my voice. I didn't waste a lot of time looking at the sequence of things, but i think i wrote all of that long before either having "Index-only page" as a formally separate concept from what i'm starting to call "people pages", and before i'd arrived at the concept of separate pages for some units like "St." and "De" that are followed by a space and more surname.
_ _ I reverted my reversion, made a series of repairs, and one of them was cleaning up the mess i was responsible for on St, with a summary that i hope suggests the real situation: i made a bad design decision, and forgot abt it once i arrived at the right approach. Thanks for being careful enuf that i got alerted to the need to harmonie it all!

[edit] As Fast As

Hey. I added a band infobox and made the exisiting tables into "prettytables" in the article As Fast As. Like it? Shardsofmetal ^{[ Talk | Contribs ]} 19:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Deyyaz, sorry for putting the wrong information on your talk page about that image even you did not upload it. I think by mistake i have sent you previouly copied link because i may not have been able to copy new link which belongs to uploaded image by you, sorry for inconvenience. In the begining all newbies make mistake, so there is no need to feel guilty. Please add appropriate tags to the images followed by removing these no source and no sopyright information tags to make avoid deletion to the images. Regards Shyam ^(T/C) 20:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Betheda Edmonds v. Beth Edmonds

Hi there. It seems that we have both created articles on the same person. I definitely believe that a merge is in order. And since the Beth Edmonds article seems more extensive, I believe that a redirect from Betheda Edmonds to Beth Edmonds seems in order. Your thoughts?--Thomas.macmillan 15:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vrba article

Hi Deyyaz. You asked last month if the Rudolf Vrba article was going to be nominated for Feature Article status. It has now been nominated, and you can find the discussion here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Rudolf_Vrba 00:46, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyvio

Damn, good spot on that article. I wasnt paying attention. Thanks for noting it for me!! --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk)(Review me) 18:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately it has to stay like that. After 5 days (I think) one of the copyvio admins will get round to checking it and probably realise the same as you did. THen the article gets restored. --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk)(Review me) 08:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your to do list

You have Thomas McDonagh listed as a to do item but I found the main article, so have created a redirect to here. Yours is the last linked page to a different spelling. Saves you some work!! Cheers ww2censor 16:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image request

You placed a request for an image of the sker house, is this what you're looking for?

sker house. --Inahet 00:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Seems I made a mistake, I thought I was browsing through the creative commons, I guess I wasn't. --Inahet 00:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Firefox logo.png at Commons

The public domain version of the Firefox logo I uploaded at commons is up for deletion. Please feel free to vote for whether to keep it or delete it. Thanks, Shardsofmetal [ Talk • Contribs ] 21:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User scripts

I found some very useful user scripts that you might want to consider adding to your monobook.js file. The following are snippets of code, and the explanation of what they do.

• This code makes adding the following scripts a lot easier:

/* This function is used to include scripts from other Wikipedia pages in mine.  I got it from [[User:Quarl/monobook.js]]. */

function winc(s) {
    s = s.replace(/^\[\[/, '').replace(/\]\]$/, '');
    document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=' + s
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></scr' 
             + 'ipt>');
}

// Include scripts from the [[de:]]

function dinc(s) {
    s = s.replace(/^\[\[/, '').replace(/\]\]$/, '');
    document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=' + s
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></scr' 
             + 'ipt>');
}

• These 2 lines provide functions required by some scripts:

winc('[[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/addLink]]');
winc('[[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Add LI link]]');

• This stops diff screens from running off the screen [1] by adding scroll bars to boxes if needed

winc('[[WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Fix diff width]]');

• This is a very useful tool. It adds a "QuickEdit" link next to the edit link for each section, and the main section. When you click it, it replaces the section with a text box that has the wikitext in it, letting you edit it without having to load another page.

dinc('Benutzer:ASM/quickedit.js');

• This script adds to tabs to a user's contributions page: count and last 1000. The former counts up to 5000 edits in each namespace and reports the details, the latter reports on the last 1000 edits the user make.

winc('[[User:Ais523/editcount.js]]'); // Count a user's edits

• This last script adds 3 links to your personal tools at the top of the page. Right before the logout link, it adds the links online, busy, and offline. Clicking one of them automatically goes to User:Deyyaz/Status, edits your status, and saves the page. Pretty neat, I think...

// STATUS CHANGER
addOnloadHook(function (){
  var user = document.getElementById( 'pt-userpage' ).firstChild.firstChild.data;
  var subpage = "/Status";
  var linkprefix = "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:";
  var contribs = document.getElementById( 'pt-mycontris' );
  //Add the links
  addlilink(contribs, linkprefix+user+subpage+"&action=edit&newstatus=Online", "Online", "pt-status-in", "Online", "");
  addlilink(contribs, linkprefix+user+subpage+"&action=edit&newstatus=Busy", "Busy", "pt-status-busy", "Busy", "");
  addlilink(contribs, linkprefix+user+subpage+"&action=edit&newstatus=Offline", "Offline", "pt-status-out", "Offline", "");
  if (location.href.indexOf("&action=edit&newstatus=") == -1) return; //Are we here to auto-edit the status?
  //Get new status
  statusRegExp = /&action=edit&newstatus=(.*)/;
  status = statusRegExp.exec(location.href)[1];
  //Modify the form
  document.getElementById('wpTextbox1').value = status;
  document.getElementById('wpSummary').value = "Status: "+status;
  document.getElementById('wpMinoredit').checked = 'checked';
  //Submit it!
  document.getElementById('editform').submit();
});

//

I hope you find these scripts useful. You might also be interested in taking a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts. There are many more there. Please tell me what you think of these. Shardsofmetal [ Talk • Contribs ] 03:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gilberto Silva

Hi Deyyaz - just a quick to let you know that I've responded to your comments about the Gilberto Silva article on the Gilberto Silva talk page. See you there! Cheers. -GilbertoSilvaFan 22:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Another quick note:- I've responded to your comments again on the Gilberto Silva talk page! Cheers. -GilbertoSilvaFan 08:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: William Watts Folwell

Hello Deyyaz, how are you doing? The article was deleted because it was found to be a copyvio per a new bot that was revealed yesterday here. See the report at www.wikipedia-watch.org/plagiarism/0172.html . Administrators deleted the article pages to purge the copyvio, and recreated the articles with content that was free. Since most of the talk pages were not deleted, we expected to have all the articles recreated before people noticed them missing, but apparently we missed that one. Feel free to create a new article with free content, or to mark the talk page for deletion. Sorry for this mistake. -- ReyBrujo 19:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

[edit] Image:SarahRudinoff.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SarahRudinoff.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 20:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the reminder!

Hey Tom, It's Colby. I completely forgot about The Jonbenéts. I decided I'd rather work on other projects instead (like working on my user page and skateboarding articles). I suppose I'll delete the photos if no one has used them or deleted them yet. See you later! --ColbyD! 03:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
