Image:Info-pictogram.png Attention:

This IP address, 62.253.64.15, is registered to NTL brnt-cache-4.server.ntli.net and is shared by multiple users. Comments left on this page may be received by other users of this IP and appear to be irrelevant. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact NTL brnt-cache-4.server.ntli.net to report abuse.

If you are an unregistered user operating from this address, note that this need not necessarily be the IP address of your machine. In many cases, it turns out to be the IP address of a proxy server that communicates between your browser and the Wikimedia servers. Such proxies are shared among a huge number of users compared to the number of persons using your particular machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. However, you will still be unable to edit Wikipedia while the IP you are using is blocked.


This IP address is a proxy server owned by NTL based in the UK, it could be anybody as it changes from user to user.....ban this IP and many people could suffer since they could be logging on via this proxy - this sort of trouble will need sorting out one way or another

Your edits to Finding Nemo have been reverted, along with those to other movie and art related articles. Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. -- Solipsist 05:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

On the plus side, your information on Roger Frogley is interesting. I've tidied the article up a little to add Wiki-links and conform to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. I don't suppose you happen to know the dates (or just years) of his birth and death? His later career in flying seems intriguing too. -- Solipsist 05:36, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)


Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

[edit] VfD signing

No worries, but please sign your posts. It gets very confusing when unsigned text pops up. --Cypherx 19:30, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

What are you talking about? I've reverted the page only once. Jayjg (talk) 4 July 2005 21:59 (UTC)

[edit] verses

Hiya,

you recently voted to delete at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Matthew 1:verses

however, that VfD concerned only the verses from Matthew 1, wheras Uncle G's proposal covered a much larger group of verses.

would you be prepared to consider Uncle G's proposal and make a vote at the new VfD - Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Individual Bible verses, which covers the full list of verses in Uncle G's suggestion?

[edit] Warning

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been removed. Please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for any other tests you want to do, since testing in articles will be removed quickly. Please see the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks, smoddy 14:18, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

I do apologise. I wasn't quite looking closely. Mea maxima culpa. *gulp* smoddy 15:29, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

Hello. Please remember to always provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy edits. --Viriditas | Talk 07:33, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Viriditas | Talk 11:32, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Show preview

Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this prior to saving. This allows you to check what the page will look like first and to check that you haven't made any errors. It also prevents the need for multiple saves. Saving the same article a large number of times in quick succession makes it harder for people to check what changed, and clogs up the page history.

It is helpful, however, to save the page before moving a section of the article, if you have been making small edits to the article. The difference display is not good at showing paragraph moves, and will not display the small edits clearly if sections are then moved around.

Subtle hint: show preview

Saving only once is also a way of avoiding edit conflicts, as people will not see the article on recent changes, and therefore they are less likely to try editing it at the same time as you.

If you are logged in, you can set your preferences to show the preview before the edit box instead of after it. If you select this option, the preview will be displayed above the edit box when you click the "Show preview" button while editing a page. See m:MediaWiki User's Guide: Setting preferences.

As explained on Wikipedia:How to edit a page, piped links can be used to automatically hide words in parentheses and to hide namespaces. The show preview option interprets the abbreviated form correctly, but does not expand it yet in the edit box. Press Save and again Edit, and you will see the expanded version.

Using show preview also prevents your login timing out, which would mean your edits would not be attributed to your user name. Clicking preview regularly will restart the timer, so you remain logged in. Also, if you are no longer logged in, showing a preview will make you aware of this so you can log in and save your work after that. You can check this by seeing if your user name appears in the upper-right corner when you press preview. If you are not logged in, open Special:Userlogin in a separate window (right-click 'Log in' and hit 'Open link in new window' or similar). Log in, then go back to your editing and hit 'preview' again to make sure all is well. Note that this will clear the minor edit and watch checkboxes, so make sure they're set appropriately again before you finally save the page.

When utilizing this feature during a major edit, consider copying the content into your clipboard. On extremely rare occasions, the Wikipedia servers have hiccups, and you could lose your work. --Viriditas | Talk 11:38, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 19:47, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WWB

WWB is the one thing I regret from this years folk fest. How was he? William M. Connolley 20:12:55, 2005-08-01 (UTC).
