[edit] Re:Moonlight Serenade

I'm not convinced its a sockpuppet and they aren't even really editing. I'm watching the page and will take action as I feel justified. Cheers. Sasquatch t|c 23:13, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing tags

please reply at: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Editing_tags

Hi, not to be rude to the person who originally designed them, but I think the tags over the editing box are really quite ugly. Also not very discriptive, when they should be to screamingly obvious to highlight how helpful they really are. After activly editing for over 6 months now, I have only just taken it apon myself to check out what they all actually do. Some of them are agreeably useless (to me), but things like signing and redirect are just amazing! The amount of times I have searched for a redirect page just to copy and paste the template to create various new redirect pages is rediculas, and could have been helped only if the tags were sufficiently idiot-proof, and designed to fit in with this age of pretty shiny buttons (rather than fit in with the age of windows 95). I think age they are on every edit page, and are visable to every editor, effort should be made to make them as perfect as possible. Just like the amount of time that clearly went on our wonderful Main Page --mastodon 23:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you please be a bit more specific? Which symbols could be more descriptive and how? The signature one is a picture of a signature, which I think is intuitive, although it could perhaps be placed furthest to the right as it is the last thing used when editing. '#R' is esoteric until you have created a redirect, and it then becomes recognisable; it could resemble [1] but readers don't encounter that symbol often either. As for the general design, it reminds me of Netscape 6/7 chrome skin, and not Windows 95. The buttons stand out from the background of the monobook skin, which makes them more functional than aesthetic. --Cedders^tk 09:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking perhaps having simply a discriptive word on each button with an "Insert..." written above their containing line. As for how they stand out against the skin, I hadn't thought of that, you make a good point. Although, I'm sure there are other ways of increasing their contrast, such as is present in Windows XP, when your attention is needed on a button, a complimentary colour is used (in the blue luna interface, this corrisponds to orange). Perhaps a shiny dark button with a discriptive word would be appropriate? mastodon 12:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] speedying

G'day Ceeders,

thanks for your note. I'll answer the band one first, since that one's dead easy: WP:MUSIC has no relevance whatsoever to whether or not an article can be speedied. We're concerned about whether the article asserts notability, with "notability" interpreted very broadly indeed; saying "they released an album" counts in this case.

As for Jon Morby, well, redirect it wherever the merged content has gone. If you can't find that place, then it hasn't been merged and I invite you to do so at your convenience. For what it's worth, Fido.net is rather famous, while I've never heard of the other company. Also, if it helps, User:Jmorby is quite different from the Jon Morby article. By the by, have you tried talking to Mr Morby about the article? fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 13:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Morning .. no-one has approached Jon Morby to discuss any of this. Generally the view taken was rather than having misleading information online about Fido.net Fidonet Opus-CBCS Redmail and so on, Jon made sure the content was accurate whilst trying to ensure it wasn't all "puff". But no, no-one has contacted him regarding this or the recent copyvio put on Opus-CBCS - an article originally written by Wynn Wagner III and reproduced with his permission (originally granted in 1998 and assumed going forwards). The copyvio seems to actually relate to a link which is a mirror of the original article ?

[edit] Re: A few tips

Thanks for your tips on my talkpage, appreciate it! I normally do a search on articles before marking as db-bio anyhow, might have missed it on that one though! Cheers again! Poeloq 21:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
