[edit] Kiki Carter article
Am working on your suggestions to tighten up and better reference the notability issues you brought up on the Kiki Carter page. Do you have a moment to look at this and see if this is a better presentation. Thank you for you help and useful suggestions.Eaglefeather11 19:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Really like what you did on this article. Looks much improved with the table of contents and the sections. I had gotten a comment early on about lack of references so maybe I went overboard linking them up. I'm really new to this and trying to find my way through the maze of help files. It took me awhile to find how to do multiple links to one article. Step by step, I guess. Do you think I should upload relevant photos that are in the public domain? Eaglefeather11 19:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you for your feedback. The sources list was made first (the article came from these sources) and then when the footnotes were added they culled from some of these same sources. Maybe I could delete the duplicates and rename the Sources section "additional sources" since they were used in the creation of the article. I will see what I can do. 209.81.121.200 00:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] why do we need pg= & text= on afd2
Hi Sanbeg, that was quite some time ago, so I forgot about it. Well, we leave it in now mainly due to legacy concerns: we have some old bots and scripts that still use "pg=" and "text=", so simply replacing them with a numbered argument wouldn't work. I'd figure on using an OR statement so that numbered arguments will work along with the "pg=" and "text=". I didn't modify it back then because I wasn't an admin, but then simply forgot about it (and didn't see any further discussion on it). Thanks for asking about this, since I'd forgotten it. I'll probably play around with the templates in my sandbox to see if it works. Thanks, Deathphoenix ʕ 00:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks to your question, I resumed my seven month old work and made this change, which does what it needs to do as mentioned above. Thanks! --Deathphoenix ʕ 00:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Never mind, my code hack doesn't work because it leaves residual code behind (take a look at the first section here). I'm going to self-revert my edits because I don't know enough about Wikicode to do this. --Deathphoenix ʕ 03:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Sanbeg, thanks for giving this a shot. Just using the PAGENAME environment variable doesn't work because some articles get nominated more than once, and we need a different page for each subsequent nomination. --Deathphoenix ʕ 13:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. I guess the one thing to make my modifications work is to find a way to suppress the "pg" and "text" text to prevent them from showing up if I make a normal numbered parameter call. I'm sure the <noinclude> would make a play, but I'm not enough of a Wikicode Monkey to be able to solve this one. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your sandbox deletion
Hi, I deleted your sandbox with an auto-deletion script because you had a proposed deletion tag on it. Are you sure you want it deleted? If not, I can restore it, but will have to remove the tag.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 21:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Restored, and I have placed it in nowiki tags. Cheers!--Kungfu Adam (talk) 22:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 14 Year Old Girls
I have added info to the article that help establishes notability, and I was hoping you may re-visit the AfD. Please respond at the AfD rather than this talk page, since I am leaving this message for several editors. Thank you! PT (s-s-s-s) 18:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Labeled Section Transclusion (Wikisource)
Hi!
I began looking at your proposed solution to the labeled section transclusion problem, and replied to you at the discussion page at Wikisource. It looks promising, but I confess that I don't fully understand how it works. Would it be possible for you to write up (perhaps at the talk page there) a step-by-step explanation? Thanks, Dovi 08:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prod
I came across a number of articles you took to afd for deletion while doing new pages patrol and I was wondering if you were familiar with the Proposed deletion process. Basically, you add {{subst:prod|reason for deletion}} to articles the deletion of which is not controversial, such as blatant advertizing, etc. Thereafter, if the prod template remains in the article for five days it is deleted without any debate. Anyone can remove the template for any reason. If that is done, you can take the article to the far more resource intensive afd process.--Fuhghettaboutit 03:37, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] enhancement for poem/nowiki
Hi, and sorry for not replying before. I don't know enough about inner workings of MediaWiki to tell if the patch works correctly. I think that it would be the best if you would open up a bug report on Bugzilla with the patch and let Brion handle it. Poem isn't in the list of extension, but you can submit it as a general MediaWiki bug. Nikola 06:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Nice, though you might add Brion as a co-author as well. He did all the adjusting of the extension to MediaWiki that was needed. Nikola
[edit] 6 mile run
It shows up in Google Maps under the name of "Six Mile Run State Park" click the link I added to the Google map. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Maps and aerial photos
- Street map from Google Maps or Yahoo! Maps
- Topographic map from TopoZone
- Aerial image or topographic map from TerraServer-USA
- Satellite image from Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth
Check it out, let me know what you think. I fixed the coordinates. I still had it on the porevious search which was the princeton cemetery.
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany
I am really running behind in my correspondence lately, and my apologies for taking so long to contact you. Thank you for having added your name to the project.

Although I have worked with a variety of projects before, this is the first project I have ever created, and I hope that you can forgive me for my failures to date. Please feel free to make any comments on any of the proposals on the project pages, positive or negative, and thank you very much for having joined. If you have any specific questions or comments, please also feel free to contact me at my own user page. Thanks again for joining, and I hope we can help you with your own contributions to wikipedia. :) Badbilltucker 23:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
