United States

Hi. I am a person in the U.S. with English as a primary language. I also know a little Latin and have a Latin Wikipedia account. Even though I am not Cherokee and know little of the language, I participate in the Cherokee Wikipedia project as well. (All have the user account Wikiacc.) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wikiacc (talk • contribs) 17:03, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC).

Sorry, that's not the way the talk page works. Perhaps you are confusing your talk page, which is the way people communicate with you, with your user page, which is where users have generally untrammelled sway to put what they like?
I've restored the paragraphs you deleted at United States. If you are going to delete material, it's customary to give some indication of why, either in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. - Nunh-huh 19:51, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I did not realize I was typing on the Talk page, I thought I was typing on the user page. Call me an amateur.
At United States I wanted to reduce the page size below 30 KB, and the information was repetitive with main articles for the sections. I forgot to put this on the talk page. Call me an amateur again. - Wikiacc 14 Jul 2004

Discussion with Zircean

I wonder why you were typing under discussion anyway.
...
Wait, I can call you an amateur? AHA! AMATEUR!... not. Hey, why don't you go listen to MAX 300. Awesome song. I fixed that article, btw. See ya around.
Posted by Zircean | 3:09 pm GMT | Nov 7 2004

OK Zircean...

1. There are HR tags for a reason. Use them.
   
2. If you just do four tildes you can make it say all the data. It's too much work to put them in by hand, at least for most people.
   
3. I was an amateur in July. It is November as of this writing...
   
4. Have you subscribed to the mailing list yet?
   
5. If you check out my old IP address, 24.186.144.226 you will find numerous edits made by me before I had an account.
   In fact, you are the one who's the most amateur-like here. And by fixed that article, I hope you didn't mean you POVed it. I hope.
   - Frank 20:44, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Wow. If you were an amateur in July then change it! There's an "edit this page" button for a reason you know. BTW, it was not a political article. In fact, I haven't touched one political article (yet)! Also, I can't. It says be neutral somewhere. Agh, I forgot, but it doesn't matter.
Zircean 20:50, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
P.S. Yay for tildes.

I don't want to change what I was back in July, I said that I was an amateur to Nunh-huh and that is what I was. I don't want to change what I said. And even though you may have not touched a political article yet, NPOV applies in ALL articles. In fact, I am thinking of making it required reading for everybody in the paper (that's how important it is)... Also, PLEASE don't make my HTML into XHTML. Wikipedia is HTML 4.0 and by making the tags self-close you are making the validity of the page screw up. - Frank 21:06, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I though you were Mr. Technical. Jeez! You're the one complaining when we don't do correct XHTML 1.0 on the Bitmap Project. BTW, I didn't POV anything. Period. Especially since the article for MAX 300 is an article for a song, how do you POV a song? You logic escapes me. What I meant is since that article was a stub (I think) I made it full-length. - Zircean 00:56, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Maybe I should make some rules about posting on my talk page.
(See top)

Well, that was then. If you want to make the page HTML 4.0, do it, just make sure it's valid. XHTML is my personal choice, but you won't get an edit war every time the document type changes.
- Frank 02:24, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

K, I'm following your format. !Forget what I put here, it doesn't matter now! Zircean 21:42, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Collaboration of the Week

Your vote for African art has helped bring about the article's selection as this week's Collaboration of the week. Please join in trying to make the article a feature.

Yay, it made it. I will be working on it over the week, don't worry. - Wikiacc 02:17, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thank You

Hi Wikiacc, the last few months you hit several articles that are on my watchlist and I came across you at CSB. Additionally, you cleaned up African languages yesterday (I think I was guilty of the to do list in the middle of that article). I just want to say that I like your work. For all the good things that you have been doing I give you this sunflower. Keep it up! Kind regards, — mark ✎ 09:10, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Wikiacc 20:13, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Kannada

Hello, I just noticed that you've edited the html drastically on the page Kannada which took lot of pain while writing. see diff Moreover, you've erased the official color code that was listed in the table. I'm sure you have explanations for your edits. --H P Nadig 00:46, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I do have explanations.

For the HTML editing: At Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages we are trying to get all language infoboxes to use Template:Language for standardization reasons and so that we can keep track of it. Also note that it is the format that it is supposed to be used, according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Language Template.

For the color code: the color for the tables are standardized per language family. The Dravidian languages all use mediumspringgreen and therefore Kannada, being a Dravidian language, should use it too. (See a similar discussion at Talk:Venetian language).

I hope that answers your questions. Wikiacc 03:01, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm still unsure of why you removed the official flag color that was in the info box as well. Will you be kind enough to put it back? I see that the color code "mediumspringgreen" is just a suggestion for the dravidian languages on Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages. We can surely work on it and set a color comfortable to the user's eyes and which wouldn't drag much attention away from the article. Its a shame your descriptions made me guess that someone has assumed some official code for all dravidian languages, thats the reason I had to show my concern over it. Now, over the infobox design, I still fail to guess why you removed the design that looked 'good'. --H P Nadig 17:50, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Mongolian alphabet

Could you please explain how Mongolian alphabet fits into Category:Languages of China? Wikiacc 21:34, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

1. The Mongolian lanugage used to be written with a derivative of Han characters, from Khitan language.

2. Mongolia was part of Chinese history.

3. There are sizeable Mongolian speakers in present-day Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of the PRC.

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.61.115.185 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC).

Wheels

Are you the same person who I remember putting "On wheels" in article titles?? Georgia guy 01:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If you're referring to my edit on the Sandbox, don't worry, I am not the infamous vandal. If I affected any other articles in any way by that edit, please tell me so. If you take a look at my contribs you will see nothing of the sort. I am sorry if I alarmed you. Wikiacc 01:44, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

Southeast Airlines

Hm.. you were trying to add my image I had uploaded to the southeast airlines page at the same time I was. It's quite odd to see a conflict with someone else trying to add the picture you just uploaded yourself. -Zzxcnet 18:53, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)]]

I was just browsing around the list of recent changes and noticed your upload. I don't think I caused any problems, though. :D Wikiacc (talk) 20:21, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
