[edit] Civic Platform

Hi Tamino, despite our discussion regarding "The Civic Platform" vs. "Civic Platform", i've gone and reintroduced the "the"s in the article body of Civic Platform. I guess I didn't quite catch on what you meant, before. I wouldn't call it "The Civic Platform" in the title, etc (as we discussed), but in a sentence it ends up as ungrammatical english without the "the"s. Sorry for the confusion :-) Deuar 16:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category instructions

Hi there. Which instructions did you use? I'd be happy to check/amend them. —Whouk (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see. You should put [[Category:Wikipedians in the United Kingdom|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]] on your user page exactly as it appears, not change PAGENAME to Tamino - that's what the subst: command does. —Whouk (talk) 08:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Call for help now answered

I have discovered a vandal who uses an IP address only (not a user account), but everything on the Wikipedia:Vandalism page seems to be about countering vandals who have a user account. Tamino 08:43, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Regardless of whether they are IP address users or registered users, Wikipedia warns and blocks users for repeated vandalism. First warn the user using one of the vandalism notices; then, if they persist, elevate the warning until you have given them a last warning. If they continue to vandalize, report them at the WP:AIV page and an admin will hopefully come along and block the user. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask again. Cheers, Tangotango 08:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
No worries. An anonymous user will see their talk page just like any other registered user will - an orange message pops up, telling them that they have a new message, and when they look, they'll find your nice juicy vandalism warning. ;) -- Tangotango 09:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Underlined links

That happens to me from time to time too and it's quite annoying. I think it might be a memory issue (when I've had lots of windows open), but I've never been sure. But closing and reopening the browser seems to fix it. —Whouk (talk) 11:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The meaning of OW

The following was copied from User Talk:Jdforrester

To my knowledge, OW stands for "Old Waynflete", and refers to an old boy of Magdalen College School, Oxford. I have no idea whether MCS has a Royal Charter allowing the use of these letters; is it necessary? Tamino 13:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

It is to use them in anything other than an informal context, yes. :-)

[edit] Swedish general election 2006

Hi, as you propably understand, I'm quite an amateur when it comes to Wikipedia (and Internet). But my thing for polls have kept me updating the page. That is, I'm glad to help. Detinu 08:33, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Great work on the election articles Tamino! Itake 03:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sweden during WWII POV request

Not sure if you were still monitoring the request that you made on Wikipedia:Swedish_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Other_requests_for_improvement#NPOV

So I'll answer here too: I can't say much about the subject. However, unsourced claims can be freely removed as per Wikipedia:Verifiability.

[edit] Oxford election 2006

Hello - Probably I didn't go about it the right way: I think the article on the controversy should be merged with that on OUCA, which it affected much more than the council elections. I see the view that it may be considered relevant to the elections, but it didn't seem so at all at the time. Also, similar contorversies in Tower Hamlets & Birmingham are not mentioned on those pages (principally though because the pages don't exist!).

Thirdly (changing topic a bit), I was a bit concerned that it was labelled as it was: no charges have as yet been brought, so perhaps it might be renamed "Nomination form controversy" or something to avoid the candidate being considered complicit in something perhaps not his fault. 129.67.53.94 16:25, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I have replied to your message on your talk page.
