[edit] {{Copyvio}} tag

Just FYI, this template isn't supposed to be subst'ed. Thanks for all your good work tagging copyvios. --Robth^Talk 01:30, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks. :)

I'm scratching my head over what exactly I need to change in the way I do the copyvio tags. What I leave on the offending article is {{copyvio|url=http://example.org}} (with the appropriate url, natch), copied directly from the copyvio template page -- no subst that I can see. When I copy and paste the text to the appropriate copyright problems page, there is a subst in the text that the template is asking me to copy. Is this something I should be removing?

Thanks in advance for any help! Kathy A. 20:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow, slow response by me. It turns out that what was happening was that you were not blanking the articles you found; I confused this with substing the template since these are the two mistakes that people tend to make when applying the tag. you are placing the correct code; just remember, when you place it, to also blank the text that was in the article. Thanks, --Robth^Talk 04:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newton's Second Law and Scaling Invariance

Don't you think adding 6 boxes was just a little overkill on an article that's about to be deleted anyway? --humblefool® 08:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

The deletion proposal was added after my maintenance tags. I apologize for my lack of ability to predict the future. :) Kathy A. 15:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I am a new comer on wikipedia, learning its methods. I have pasted some Pakistani proverbs which are interesting and which we use daily. What is the best method to display them ?

Now I have given the Urdu/Pakistani phrases of the proverbs too of 2 of the proverbs. Gradually will do with the others. But I need your guidance too i this matter.

thanks.

Sincerely

A good place to start might be Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles, especially the section titled "Think of the Reader". Some things that could really improve the article (to the point where it should be kept) would be to write an introductory paragraph (or paragraphs) explaining why these proverbs are interesting to a global audience, and how they are used in every day life. Perhaps adding some references to other works that discuss this topic, and links to other relevant articles in Wikipedia. And be sure to register your vote at the AfD page. :) Kathy A. 19:00, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project Stub Sort

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks!--Ohms law 19:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyvios

Hello. I noticed your work in flagging some copyright violations. One small note - when you add the copyvio notice you should also blank the content of the article. It will be kept in the article history so anyone reviewing the case can check it. Thanks for your good work! --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 21:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks -- I was just recently made aware of that. I think I've got it right now. Kathy A. 22:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nabih Youssef

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Nabih Youssef, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Nabih Youssef. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
