[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there! -- user:zanimum

[edit] Masada: Alef

Why did you change the track listing from Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums format using en-rules to non-project format using hyphens? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Prsonally I prefer no gap between the dash and the timing (which is how it's presented on many CDs). It's not worth edit-warring over, though I'd point out that the version without the gap is pretty common in Wikipedia articles). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

[edit] Tawkerbot2

Your recent edit to Friedrich Nietzsche was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept our apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot2 16:32, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey there. Sorry about getting dinged by the bot. I've fixed the behavior in question, and made an edit to the page which may serve as a clue as to why the bot dinged you in the first place. If you have any other troubles, don't hesitate to bring it to my attention via tawkerbot2's talk page. Thanks for your understanding about this! joshbuddytalk 17:43, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Sugarman Three

I've restored this article per your request. I've also downgraded the speedy deletion nomination to a WP:PROD deletion nomination, generally a week long process. Please don't remove this without adding to the article and being sure that it meets the terms of WP:BAND. — xaosflux Talk 03:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note on references

You added/changed a footnote in Carmen which references "Note 3 above". This is fragile because the numbering of footnotes, particuarly in a long article, can be disturbed by adding other footnotes. In your case, before some additions I made, there was no "Note 3 above" (there is now but probably isn't what you meant). The new <ref></ref> system allows named footnotes, and they can be referenced in mutiple places beyond their initial by that name, but a suitable number, perhaps out of order, will be displayed to the reader. Modus Vivendi 05:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Further to the above comment, the same footnote text can be referred to in more than 1 place in an article by giving it a name, as follows:

  • Initial creation

Georges Bizet wrote many operas<ref name="Carmen">His most famous is Carmen, which Bizet did not live to see become the wonderful success it is today.</ref>

  • Other text
  • Another use

The President of France awarded Bizet the Legion of Honor for his actions during the [[Franco-Prussian War]] on the same day as the premiere of his final opera<ref name="Carmen"/>

This means that in each of the two places the same footnote number will appear, even if the "Other text" creates other footnotes. There is no mechanism provided to refer to another footnote by its number, but a footnote can be referenced in more than one, place, that may accomplish most of that purpose with some adjustment of the notes themselves.

See Wikipedia:Footnotes for more information Modus Vivendi 06:54, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

During further repair of the Carmen page, I merged Notes 3 and 6 (which were identical except for the spelling of "Georges") into one Note using the setup described above. But mostly I discovered why I was confused: there are "References" (books) and Notes (footnotes). Some of the Notes refer to the References by number, but the References also have numbers. So the footnote you repaired referred to "Note 3" but meant Reference 3 Modus Vivendi 08:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Architecture Wikiproject

I was wondering if you might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture. Also we've been revamping the Architecture Portal and nominations to Portal:Architecture/Selected picture candidates and Portal:Architecture/Selected article candidates will always be welcome.--Mcginnly 08:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Great stuff. As and when you are ready - and as little or as much as you like then. Cheers --Mcginnly 14:38, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lead guitar

In regards to your edit summary on Lead guitar Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Thank you. Hyacinth 00:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Wikipedia has many built in frustrations. Hyacinth 20:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grime

Is there any way to redirect a page to a category? There is no need to delete, i think, since a bold redirect would be useful, due to people possibly searching for the list of grime artists. If possible, it should be redirected to your proposed category? Or otherwise to the Grime article itself. Jdcooper 13:41, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject:Architecure Peer Review proposal

I'm trying to build a consensus for a Wikiproject Peer review process. I've opened a discussion page here. Would you like to comment? Would you be prepared to take part in the peer review process? Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Chinwag 12:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IG Farben Building FAC

Also, I posted the IG Farben Building on the FAC on the 17th July. It currently has a support consensus, but only from 4 people. I'd be more comfortable with a stronger consensus and was wondering if you might be prepared to comment on the article? Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Chinwag 12:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
