[edit] A little timesaver

Ref your edit to Fenny Stratford, you might like to know that, rather than write [[inventor|inventors]], you can write [[inventor]]s to get the same result. Compare

Same result! --John Maynard Friedman 16:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot John. That was my first entry on Wikipedia and I am still learning the robes - your advice is welcome! Are you resident in Fenny, by the way? Frankieparley 17:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I see you also noticed how to reply on someone's talk page! Did you notice how I used the "nowiki" to explain my point? If you want to do the same, the easiest way is to click the W with a red "No" traffic sign over it on the edit bar. See also beside it? The squiggle means "add my signature", marginally faster than typing --~~~~! --John Maynard Friedman 12:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

So, this is to test John Maynard Friedman's suggestions: [[inventor]]s, as opposed to inventors. And the signiture shortcut: --Frankieparley 05:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC). Cool!

[edit] Happy New Year

Thanks. Happy New Year to you as well! --Koppany (talk) 21:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Lowell

I thought about the "Notable inhabitant" appellation some more and remembered Claude Rains, who was buried somewhere in the Lakes Region. Sure enough, the Moultonborough, New Hampshire article lists him as a notable inhabitant, so I guess we have a precedent! Thanks for putting up your very interesting piece of info. --Ken Gallager 14:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cluj-Napoca

Orice modificări la articol sunt binevenite. În plus, engleza mea nu este perfectă, motiv pentru care apreciez mult corecturile şi vă invit, dacă puteţi, să corectaţi şi secţiunile mai noi adăugate. Mulţumesc. Cu stimă, Danutz. —Preceding comment was added at 03:10, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Am propus articolul pentru a primi statutul de articol de calitate, însă cererea mea a fost repsinsă. Au existat multe obiecţii (chiar multe care nu aveau nicio legătură cu criteriile pentru WP:FA), şi le-am îndeplinit până acum pe toate (mai puţin unele dintre ele care erau păreri personale, şi nu ţineau strict de criteriile pentru articole de calitate). Acest lucru îl poţi vedea pe această pagină, unde se află conţinutul de la Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Cluj-Napoca/archive1, la care am adăugat comentariile mele despre ce s-a făcut şi ce nu. A mai rămas doar textul articolului (proza), care după cum relatează ceilalţi utilizatori nu este foarte corect (calitatea limbii engleze folosite este slabă). Am înscris articolul pe pagina Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/Requests, numai că va dura destul de mult până ce se va găsi un corector ortografic, care să verifice articolul. De aceea dacă ai timp, te invit şi pe tine să faci unele corecturi la articol. Cu mulţumiri, --Danutz (talk) 10:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Salut Danutz. Sunt in Anglia acuma. I will try to get on to this soon. I would be happy to help you, if the task does not take too much time. Cu stima!--Frankieparley (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
