[edit] Use of small-caps ("A Blighted Life" on wikisource)

Did you know you could use something else instead of all the "small" tags within your code to create the small-caps spellings? All that is required is <font style="font-variant:small-caps;">.

instead of: "THE BLIGHTED LIFE," and Lady LYTTON
use: "The Blighted Life," and Lady Lytton

This produces better code which is easier to read (and proper xML markup):

:''instead of:'' "T<small>HE</small> B<small>LIGHTED</small> L<small>IFE</small>,"
 ''and'' [[wikipedia:Rosina Bulwer Lytton|Lady L<small>YTTON</small>]]

:''use:'' <font style="font-variant:small-caps;">"The Blighted Life,"</font>
 ''and'' [[en:Rosina Bulwer Lytton|Lady <font style="font-variant:small-caps;">Lytton</font>]]

One added benefit is that copy-and-paste from the web page into a text editor does not produce odd capitalization. In other words, copy-and-paste each of those two lines and the resulting text looks like this:

instead of: "THE BLIGHTED LIFE," and Lady LYTTON
use: "The Blighted Life," and Lady Lytton

Notice the second line has normal capitalization. —Mike 07:13, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Emily Dickinson

As I'm sure you can tell I've been fairly hard at work setting up a section for Emily Dickinson. She's one of my favorite poets. I have a question... you've changed the titles (in this case first lines) of some of the works to titles that are incorrect. I'm wondering what your source is? Here is one example...

1.) You changed ("Sic transit gloria mundi,") to (Sic gloria transit mundi)

If you check Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson ISBN: 0517362422 or The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson ISBN: 0316184136 you will see that the first title is the excepted standard. I just wanted to bring this to your attention because I believe that the link should be correct and the information should be correct. However I did not want to move it without speaking to you or edit over what you had done. Will you mind my correcting these? --Khaldei 21:31, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image tags

Thanks for uploading Image:Ladder paradox contraction.png, Image:Ladder paradox garage irf1.png, Image:Ladder paradox garage irf2.png, Image:Ladder paradox ladder irf1.png and Image:Ladder paradox ladder irf2.png. I notice they currently don't have image copyright tags. Could you add one to let us know their copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got (or made) the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, grendel|khan 05:07, 2005 Feb 27 (UTC)

[edit] Doctor Who Restoration Team

Are you doing anything with this? Right now it's just a link and it's been tagged for speedy deletion. If you are, put up the {{inuse}} tag and work it up to at least stub level. --khaosworks 02:45, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:TheDoctorMoniteredByCybermen.jpg

Image deletion warning Image:TheDoctorMoniteredByCybermen.jpg has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. If you feel that this image should not be deleted, please go there to voice your opinion.

It's a duplicate of Image:TheDoctorMonitoredByCybermen.jpg --Tim Pope 12:57, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ladder paradox

Thanks for your contributions at Ladder paradox and especially the illustrations. I've just uploaded Image:Ladder paradox garage irf2.png and Image:Ladder paradox ladder irf2.png to commons:. Without any text in the pictures themselves, they are ideal candidates for use in several Wikipedias. --Pjacobi 19:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Page Redesign

I, Mollsmolyneux, have redesigned the List of incomplete Doctor Who serials page. To view it please Click Here. Please leave any comments you have about the page on My Talk Page and tell me if you think I should put the page on. -- Mollsmolyneux 12:51, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:HyperbolicMotion.PNG

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:HyperbolicMotion.PNG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Rindler coordinates

Hi, Don, I have completely rewritten this from scratch with completely new figures. I still think the second figure in the old version is wrong and the first one is misleading; similarly for the text. I did keep an archive of the previous version (see the talk page), but I hope you agree that the new version is much better. ---CH 04:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
