[edit] Union Switch and Signal

Its already been redirected to the existing article, which is the right thing to do. This way other people searching for the article under the name Union Switch and Signal will find it. Best, Gwernol 15:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response to Recent Aida (musical) mods

The list of high school productions was removed because consensus was recently reached regarding the inclusion of high-school/community theatre (ie non-official performances) - it was agreed that high schools and community theatre groups should not be listed on the Aida page, as they have no official association with the proper musical, other than that they have paid license fees to perform the show.

If my edits accidentally removed official productions, my apologies. Otherwise, the removal of high-school musicals from this article is justified in my opinion :)

[edit] Repsonse to Keswick Christian School

I have not completed my entry and neither is this written like an advertisement. I do not know how to remove your box, but would you please take it off or tell me how? An encyclopedic entry can contain an opening that is a direct quote as it weaves together a historic narrative account. I am merely citing history here, and if I can get the link to work you'd see where it came from. Having a tough time with the ref. mark for some reason. Thanks. --Wordy1 04:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. That box was actually borrowed from another Wikipage. I realized after borrowing it that the infobox tag existed. I'll know better next time.
I did use preview quite a bit but was afraid, after a while, it would get lost, as sometimes browsers crash.
I have one question for you regarding citation, and I wonder if you can help me: Some of the material I would like to include in my entry is from a newspaper article found in a subscription database, Lexis Nexis. Unfortunately, it does not appear for free on the Web. I understand Wikipedia's preference for open access information, but I would like to include this with the proper citation. Do you know if Wikipedia has a citational style for citing a full-text article from a subscription database. I am familiar with the MLA and APA styles found on this page, but don't know about style with Wikipedia.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure what the preferred citation method would be. I have seen several articles just include the reference as plain text (no link), such as "New York Times April 1, 2007". Maybe you can ask the question at the Wikipedia:Help desk. A comment about browsers. Without advocating a specific product, I have had excellent results (and no crashes) using Mozilla Firefox, and I know many others use it; can't say the same about Internet Explorer. Firefox is a free download ... just google it. Truthanado 01:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Good to meet a fellow "Firefoxer." Used it for a couple years now. Lots better than all the others. I was having more problems with my server I think than the actual browser. Thanks for the tip on the help desk. --Wordy1 01:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
