[edit] External Links

Hi Matt, thanks for correcting me on this. Being a resident here on Kauai, I'm just trying to provide useful info for users. Hiking the Na Pali is great, but seeing it by boat, kayaking, or even by helicopter (though I'm scared of helicopters) are also good options. However, I take it - putting up commercial links is not good. Is this correct? Is my last link to the hiking the Na Pali page ok? WasabiHawaii ^(talk)

Hi Matt - you'll be pleased to know that after all the state park stubs were sorted there were enough stubs for a separate {{Hawaii-geo-stub}}! Grutness...wha? 02:14, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disciples of Christ...

You're quite right: the Sandemanians and Glasites are Scotland only. The misapprehension dates from the aborted church union between the United Church of Canada (predominantly Presbyterian but also including virtually all Methodists and Congregationalists of the time of church union ie the decades leading up to 1925), the Anglican Church of Canada and the Disciples of Christ. As a matter of speculation, it is possible that the assumption that the Disciples of Christ were of Scottish origin was intended to minimise their United States roots. I have reverted my own edit. The reasons for the sundering of the 1960s and '70s church union are a matter of personal communication by Anglican bishops, though there is ample documentation of the fact that the houses of laity and clergy voted in favour and the house of bishops vetoed it. Unable to find time to track this down just at the moment but will do so in due course. Nice to have a reasonable and polite discussion about such things: disagreement in this forum is so often couched in terms of surpassing rudeness -- so thanks. Masalai 21:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great Barrier Reef peer review?

Hi MattWright, I noticed that you've made some good edits to Great Barrier Reef. I've recently put the article up for peer review. I hope that you'll participate! - Malkinann 05:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Japanese city

"I noticed you recently edited the Japanese city template in order to fix some things, such as SymbolImage. I don't actually know how it was behaving before, but the sybmol part appears now without a caption at Matsuyama, Ehime."

That's not something I changed. Here's the way it looked before:
old Template:Japanese city, with this code:
[[Image:{{{SymbolImage}}}|130px|Symbol of {{{Name}}}]].
The "Symbol of NAME" only showed in the image's alternate text.

By contrast, Template:Japanese prefecture shows it explicitly:
[[Image:{{{Symbol}}}|130px|{{#if:{{{SymbolName|}}}|{{{SymbolName}}}|Symbol of {{{Name}}} Prefecture}}]] <br/>{{#if:{{{SymbolDescription|}}}|{{{SymbolDescription}}}|Symbol of {{{Name}}} Prefecture}}

I guess it'd be easy enough to add the label, if you want me to. —wwoods 00:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] coordinate precision

I have set the coordinates for all but 1 (Safeco Field, which wouldn't have looked right on the google map) of the 30 major league baseball stadiums to be centered on the pitcher's mound (or the 50 yard line if the picture is of the stadium with a football feild layout). I have also standardized the template used for all the coordinates that show up for all MLB parks and added coordinates to those MLB ballparks which didn't have them before (which was the majority... nobody cared about standardizing this stuff before I came along). Plus I have put in a magnification level where the google map will show the park in excellent detail. I have spent a lot of time figuring all of this out. I hope that in the spirit of the five pillars you don't undo my work. Thank you for asking me about it.--Dr who1975 05:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I use the center of the roof for domes or if the picture is of a collapsable dome that is closed. There are only 3 such baseball parks. Tampa Bay and 1 other permanent dome and then 1 other where the dome is closed. I still zoom in as closely as possible with goodle earth before taking down the coordinates.--Dr who1975 03:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Longs Peak

I added the requested citation. My apologies, I meant to add it but missed it somehow. Adagio 23:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great Barrier Reef

I've been expanding the Geology and Geography and Tourism sections of late - can you please have a look at them? Do you think they still need the section stub tag? Also, I've found a really comprehensive reference for species, but every time I look at it, it blows my mind. [1] I've had a little look around to try and see what similar articles do with their Species sections, but I couldn't find too much. Do you have any suggestions for how we could use this reference appropriately? Thanks loads for all of your work on GBR to date. - Malkinann 23:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks mate, that looks a bit better.  :) Would the "Species of the GBR" category include invasive species? - Malkinann 01:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
