[edit] Education Welcome

Feel free to educate me by pointing any errors I make, or by offering other points of view. This is a great way for me to expand my knowledge and I appreciate your help.

[edit] Malcolm in the Middle

Jim,

Please review your edit of Malcolm in the Middle. I do not pretend to know Wikki speak but I believe the article was better before. As an example, the last sentence in Victor & Ida is incomplete. Can you undo this or was it intentional? It could be part of the process.

I was a fan and wrote a few sentences of the article so I check it occasionally.

Best regards,


wsb@austin.rr.com Bill

Bill, thanks for raising this question, however, I don't think these mods were mine. The changes I made on 25 July 2006 were simple paragraph reformatting. But as I look at the revision history I see what you mean. These changes were unintentional and happened either because of a technical issue or my complete incompetence. ;-) I see someone has been good enough to revert back to the original version, so we're all set. In the future, I think I'll also do a version comparison in addition to the simple preview. Thanks.

[edit] Watership Down

Hi, your edit to Watership Down has been reverted. If you're using Firefox together with Google Toolbar, you may find that long pages are cut off unexpectedly while editing in tabs; please be careful. --Kjoonlee 11:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] your question at helpdesk

Hi, if you want to include a template in an article, place {{Infobox Town NY}} at the appropriate section -- -- Lost(talk) 17:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Town NY

I have edited this infobox in order to make room for your map. I have added your template to Brookhaven, New York, you can look for yourself. If you have any questions or comments leave me a message. --Zimbabweed 07:32, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


Thanks so much for helping out in Williamson, NY, as well as other New York articles. Stepp-Wulf 01:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC).

I will look into your recent inquiry regarding the red dot in IE. However, it may take a while, but I will get back to you before the day is over about it. --Zimbabweed 15:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, it seems Internet Explorer can't handle (or at least doesn't in v6 as I'm using, I normally use Firefox, I haven't used IE in quite some time) PNG images, so I have changed the red dot image in the template (Image:GBRedDot.png) to a JPG (Image:Red-dot3.jpg) in Template:GBNewYorkState. (I hope the creator of that template won't get too upset). It should be working now, if it doesn't let me know.--Zimbabweed 23:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if you're watching my talk page, so I'll respond here. A very quick Wikipedia search :) found me this: PNG#Internet Explorer incompatibility. That should answer your inquiries. Sorry I hadn't responded yesterday like I had said, but things had piled up around here. If you have any more questions, don't be afraid. --Zimbabweed 00:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your message. I hadn't intended to get so involved in the article, but once I got there, it turned out the page needed much babysitting. How exciting that your son worked on the film – he must have lots of inside anecdotes, AKA "original research." Cognita 02:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 69.119.119.178 (talkcontribslogsblock userblock log)

I haven't looked into it, but if your observations are correct, it borders on vandalism. You may want to start at WP:AN/I, find the appropriate link or page in the header and make a report. My guess is that there is an admin already familiar with this user, if it has a history of disruptive behavior. You may get a faster response if you track down the original blocking admin. Looking at the log, you might be better off making a report at WP:AIAV. —Viriditas | Talk 04:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

See also WP:TT for future ref. I just placed a warning on the anon's talk page for his edits to Zach Tyler Eisen, using the "verror" template. If the anon vandalizes again in the same manner, use that in sequential order to justify a block. —Viriditas | Talk 07:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Jim, I posted again at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sarah_Ewart ; please check this if the page isn't already on your watchlist.
Viriditas, we think the vandal is Zach. Cognita 08:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Jim, see my comments here about using Sarah's talk page. —Viriditas | Talk 20:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Jim, sorry for the delay replying. I've extended the block on that IP to 6 months. I don't really want to go longer than that since IPs can be reassigned. We can always re-block in another 6 months if necessary. Sarah Ewart 03:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subpages

See WP:SP. Easiest way to remember it is wikify, forward slash, foo: /Foo. —Viriditas | Talk 07:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
