[edit] Archeopteryx

Probably a simple thing, but. I replaced the Berlin fossil picture, and another Wikipedian arranged that and the Munich image, so that now there is a column of white space below the Berlin image that pushes the Munich image and text to the left. I do not see what does this, so have not tried to fix it. --Dumarest 11:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup taskforce desk

Hi. All's fine. I have my last exam in two weeks time, so I will be around more often then, and so my work will get done soon enough. Thanks for the offer. While I am here, do you know how to make a link to an ISBN for a book when doing references? Ta Heweyeweyeweyeweyeweyewey... The Duke of Copyeditting, Bow before me! You can't control me! I'm a P.

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

Are you interested in working on the article about the guitarist Kevin_Cadogan? RJFJR 17:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I'll take that on in the next couple of days. C i d 20:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorted it - let me know if you think it needs further attention. C i d 12:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] n00b

Thanks for the welcome. How do I change the position of userboxes? Please answer on my talkpage. Thanks in advance. Smokizzy 20:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

On the right and/or in groups. Smokizzy 20:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Apparently userboxes can be formatted using either HTML tables or wiki-markup infoboxes. I'm not very experienced at this. My recommendation is look at the user pages of people who are experienced, until you find one leyout in a way you like and then copy it. Or you can try the village pump technical section. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance. RJFJR 15:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

Not really. I'm pretty inactive over here at the moment. Sorry. Computerjoe's talk 17:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi - apologies, I'm on holiday at the minute, so I'll get onto this next week when I'm back. Thanks. C i d 11:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

Hi, and thanks for stopping by to give me a new assignment. I would like to have dwarfism as a task. Thanks, and let me know. I'm pretty busy at the moment, but I feel like having a challenge. bibliomaniac15 Review? 06:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Israeli leaders

I'm not an expert, so please get some comments on the talk page, without them I can't do much about it. --Mgm|(talk) 08:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce - Think Fast - Johann Gutenburg

Can you tell me the status of Johann Gutenberg which is on your desk? Thank you. RJFJR 04:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I have had this on my desk for about 9 months now, I guess. When I was assigned it I looked at it and set it aside and I completely forgot about it. I'm really sorry. Now there don't seem to be any formatting problems. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Otherwise I think I will remove it from my desk. --Think Fast 20:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC) talk

[edit] Thanks

Thanks, you can remove Allan Pineda Lindo from my desk. bibliomaniac15 Review? 00:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Frederick Douglass

Thanks for the notice; I would be happy to help improve this article. I've taken a look at it, and it will probably take me a few days to start the process of rewriting the article, sourcing it along the way, but I'll do my best. Thanks again! Flcelloguy (A note?) 02:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bluestone

I've made a few odd edits, and I'm thinking that the greatest problem is sourcing this article. A Google web search turns up little information. The sentence pattern is still isn't too fluent. I tried to increase it using a new section, but it's still sort of chopping. I put it on my watchlist, but it still needs some work. bibliomaniac15 22:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swami Ramdev

Thanks for the help. At one point the article looked nice, then came the barrage of linkspam, copyvio, and other issues. I hope you'll stay and help out.01:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misael Pastrana Borrero

Cool. I took a look at it and this should be no problem. Natalie 04:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, someone beat me to it. Oh well. The cleanup got done. Natalie 15:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
There are no sources listed at all in the pre-stub version, except a source for his date of death, which isn't that helpful. I may have some time tomorrow to look on the internet for sources, but I suspect that there isn't that much about a Colombian president from the 70s. Sigh. Natalie 17:26, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
How's your Portuguese or Spanish? A google search for his name shows no English sites excepts Wikipedia mirrors. I can attempt to translate some of the Spanish info, but I learned Castilian Spanish and my abilities with Colombian dialect are nil. Natalie 02:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Best described as poor, bad or non-existent. Seems odd that there is nothing in English on the President of a substantial country. Thank you for looking. RJFJR 19:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My AFD's

I'm not quite sure what happened with my listings on the AFD page. I use the automatic afd tool which should do it all for me... Maybe I should do it manually in future. Thanks for the heads up.-Localzuk(talk) 18:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce: Allan Pineda Lindo

I would be happy to work on this article, and accept the assignment. Due to a busy schedule, it may be a slow process, but nonetheless I will attempt to cleanup the article. Gronkmeister 04:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Salt the Earth

I put a link to Salting the earth inline with the comment. There is a reference to this in The Simpsons, where Homer steals flowers out of Ned Flanders' garden. "But did you have to salt the earth so nothing would ever grow again?" "Heh... yeah!". Tubezone 07:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with disambiguation

Hi I've turned to you for help as you were first to put a message on my talk page. (Thanks). There is a page about Aiki which is about a film. I would expect a page about Aiki to be about the martial arts principle, so would like to disambiguate 'Aiki'. I went to the wikipedia page about diambiguation policy but left baffled. Help! Womble bee 17:14, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I apologise for not replying sooner, as I have been away from the keyboard for a while. I have started to write an aiki (martial arts principle) article, which I hope to upload today. Womble bee 09:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I have created an article aiki (martial arts principle). I suggest that this is changed to aiki and that the current aiki page is changed to aiki (film). Aiki used to redirect to Aikido, so i suggest that a disambiguation page is created which lists aiki, aiki (film) aikido, aiki-ken and aikijujutsu. Womble bee 10:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Mos

Since you were the one to leave me the WP welcome message, I guess I'll ask you: there is a bunch of articles on "municipalities in Pontevedra" (see list), most of which are about a year old and contain a single line of text and an infobox, and haven't been significantly edited since their creation. Now I got to these articles when searching for Mos, which seems a bit strange when it would, in my opinion, be better to have this page redirect to the dab at MOS. I'm not sure what to do in this situation, should these articles perhaps be AfD'ed? I hope you can help. -Shai-kun 19:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

If the municipalities have governments (as opposed to neighborhoods which may not be well defined) I would oppose deletion at AFD. Cities, towns, etc. are one of the few things I consider inherently notable (but only if they have well defined boundaries and have a municipal government). Most places in the United States were loaded from census data, our coverage of the rest of the world is not as comprehensive. The articles you mention are marked as stubs and I hope someone wih interest in places in Spain will eventually expand them. (If they are not significant I would be willing to change my opinion on keep, but I'd need something showing they aren't notable).
Note that MOS and Mos go to different articles (it's based on capitalization of non first characters). Mos is considered a place name, MOS in considered an acronym (wiktionary would say initialism). MOS is a disambiguation page for the abbreviation. Mos has a link to MOS for those who arrive at the wrogn article. I have no trouble with the current state but see WP:BOLD and feel free to discuss it on talk pages (I don't know how many people would respond). RJFJR 14:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
