DYK

Cool. By the way, I think it's almost ready for FP status. -- Selmo ^(talk) 16:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

user page protection

I semi-protected your user page. This means that anons and new users cannot edit it. I did not fully protect it because then you couldn't edit it until you become an admin. this should help though. Academic Challenger 21:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

{{PartofWPCANADA}}

While it's a good idea to have this template on the Vancouver article, the talk page says it should only be used on portals and WikiProjects, not articles. Thanks -- Selmo ^(talk) 00:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

A Question

Did you ever get VandalSniper to work on Mac? I tried a while ago with no luck. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 02:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect "Vandalism" charge

Dear Mkdw, You have accused me of vandalizing the Lord Byng Secondary School Wiki-page.

It is true that I edited that page to make 2 changes.

• - I changed an incorrect spelling of "Candian" to Canadian".
• - I sorted the "Notable Alumni" into alphabetical order.

I made no further changes, neither adding nor deleting material.

I do not know if the information on this page is correct as I have no knowledge of the institution, for example:

• if either "Cory Lee" or "Noot Seear" (strange name) went to the school.

If you have reported me for vandalism, I would appreciate you withdrawing that complaint.

I believe you have made an honest mistake as there were a number of vandalism edits after mine.

Regards,

WP:UW

Hi,

You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

Re: Canada News Portal

(The current numbers are optimal for Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer at 1024 * 768 and 1200 * 1024)

Really?

I find that odd. I'm running Firefox 2.0 at 1024/768, and this (Link to Image) is what I get. If you don't feel like opening it up, the text is hidden underneath the information portal thingy for some reason. User:Logical2u_Talk 15:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

There are a couple of possibilities, but I'm fairly confused by the implications they have. I am running Fasterfox, which might be cropping some of the templates off, and then Firefox expands the rest. the Canadian News page is the only one that has that problem. It might be because of the "Box within a box within a box" set up it has, compared to the "Box within a box" format the others appear to have. User:Logical2u_Talk 20:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't appear to have helped :^\ Odd. I'll check it out in IE, I guess. User:Logical2u_Talk 01:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Just checked it out in IE, and, oddly enough, the right side of the information box are cut off. User:Logical2u_Talk 01:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Notification of speedy deletion

I see you marked Portal:Current events/Redesign for speedy deletion. If you mark someone's page for speedy deletion, it is good practice to notify them on their talk page. Also in this case, I don't believe speedy deletion is the appropriate response. This was a work in progress for a portal redesign. You yourself said it belongs in a user sandbox. Therefore don't try to delete it, simply move it to a sandbox yourself. --Dgies 00:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Vancouver

I feel like I'm not doing much on it, so I would like to become the director of another showcase section if it's alright with you. Thanks. -- Selmo ^(talk) 06:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. -- Selmo ^(talk) 06:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Quebec/QCOTW

Hey, there. Just letting you know, there's a bit of an easier way to accomplish that -- see WP:MOVE. :) Luna Santin 10:33, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

I like your Lion's Gate photo. Do you have a higher resolution version you could upload? Also, that'd be Burrard Inlet, not the Fraser below. Thanks, and happy X-Mas and all that, Bobanny 22:53, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Portals review

Hello Mkdw, very thanks for your kind message sand suggestions. I feel, some of my arguments were personal and could be avoided. I will comment on the Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Portal:Vancouver soon. Still some of the arguments are good and it is better to work on those issues, viewing as featured portals.

Remember when you adopt userboxes to use the "move" command to keep the history all in one place instead of just copy/pasting. I've merged the history of User:Mkdw/OSX back. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 19:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
