AARGH! After taking >1 hour to compare everything, and figuring out where the best place to put it would be, I almost totally messed up my first time actually nominating articles on VfD... Finally figured out how to get everything saved correctly. I don't think I'll be listing anythng on VfD anytime soon, at least nothing with quite so long a title! --VikÞor 04:55, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] finding VfD discussion?

How do I find the Vote for Deletion discussion for a specific article?

Specifically the article on Bald Knob Cross?

I put a link to it in the article on Alto Pass, Illinois, on 15 August 2004. I beleive that I was linking to a specific article, not making a blank link. (Yes, I will admit I am not a major contributor to WP.) as I seem to recall finding the article on the cross and adding the link from Alto Pass.

Bald Knob Cross is a major landmark in southern Illinois, and I would like to find out why the article was deleted.

Please also reply in my talk page. Thanks!

Usually you can see a short reasoning for an article's deletion on the deletion log. If it states it was deleted due to the VfD or AfD, you can just visit Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/ or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/name of page. Anyway, I couldn't find any record in the deletion log that a Bald Knob Cross article was deleted. — TheKMan^talk 04:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bald Knob Cross

By all means, feel free to expand it! I used to use it as a landmark while in flight school and had meant to look it up before but just hadn't yet. I was surprised to see that there wasn't an article on it. Dismas|^(talk) 04:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mac Info

do you know of any programs that Mac Users can use to help in editing/revising articles? I've come across several for Windows boxes, but not seen anything for Mac OS. stuff like User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof Thanks for any info!! VikÞor [[User talk:Vik-Thor|Talk]] 21:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know of any. Though you can still add scripts to your monobook page. You can find them here: Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts. Some of them are pretty handy. One I use often adds a tab at the top of articles between the "+" and "history" called the zero tab. It's handy if you want to edit just the

[edit] Tom Hughes

I agree. Tom Hughes (Australian politician) would be the form consistent with other similar articles. Adam 05:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quilt photo

Seems to work for me. --Liface 04:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

My mom. I should really get her to expand the quilting article. --Liface 07:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Community television

Hi Vik-Thor: please go through the full procedure for requesting a possibly controversial move listed at WP:RM for your requested move of Community television. This was your reasoning, so you don't have to retype it:

I think this page should be split. The section about the Australian Community Television should have its own page (maybe Community Television (Australian) since it sounds almost like a seperate network in Australia, something like PBS in the US.) Then the first few paragraphs, and the see also links from the 26 September edit should stay here on Community television. (as a sort of Disambiguation page). Then have Community Television redirect here?

[edit] Love Jones

Hi,

Thanks for disambiguating Love Jones. I have now moved Love Jones (1997 film) to Love Jones (film). For future reference, please note that we usually only add the year to film article titles when more than one film of the same name exists. Cheers. TheMadBaron 16:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using {{copyvio}}

Thanks for turning over possible copyright violations to WP:CP. Just some tips on the procedures to facilitate processing :

• When tagging a page that is entirely copyvio, blank off the existing content and replace with tag. (Yes, this is OK)
• When tagging, remember to include the perimeter 'url=http://...' with the source website (for example, {{copyvio|url=http://www.copyvioblah.com}})

Happy editing! :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 18:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
