[edit] Dividers

G'day and welcome to Wikipedia. You made a comment that dividers redirects to division and you believe it shouldn't. There was an article at dividers a couple of years ago that was moved to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Transwiki:Dividers because all that was in the article was a dictionary definition. If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Dividers you'll see that there have been (well, at least, currently are) no accidental links through to dividers. But, be bold. Redirect dividers to Compass (drafting). Josh Parris#: 04:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Here is the old dividers article (the first version in the history of the page - everything since then was administration) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dividers&oldid=12848424 - you can see why it got moved to the dictionary. Not a lot was said about the history of dividers, notable uses and users of them, and so on. I've changed the redirect to Compass (drafting) - now that you see how little is involved, feel free to do so yourself in the future. If you want to change the redirect into an article, go ahead and do so. Josh Parris#: 05:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nicolas Estevanez - category

No worries. So, Nicolas Estevanez was a "Spanish military officer, politician and poet" in the army. That would put him a category:soldiers, category:poets, category:politicians and category:Spaniards. Oh, there is no category:Spaniards. Perhaps it is category:People of Spain? Or category:People from Spain? Or category:Spanish people? Hah! There it is. The preview button is wonderful.

Similarly we find he can be placed in Category:Spanish poets and Category:Spanish-language poets - except Category:Spanish poets is a sub category of Category:Spanish-language poets an thus more specific. We'll just leave the one in. It would be a good idea to note in the article some information about his poetry.

Equally, Category:Spanish politicians is another place to put him. The article should have more to say about his political activities - when he ran for office, and so forth.

Now, underneath soldiers we find Category: Soldiers by nationality, and then Category:Spanish soldiers. So we'll put that in the article - it's the most specific soldier that is applicable. Interestingly, the category needs to be placed with another category - Category:Spanish people by occupation. I edited the category just like an article, and added that category.

You can see that after each category, there is a | (bar) and his name, with surname first. This to to allow sorting within the category. There's more information at WP:CAT.

Oh, we can also add Category:1838 births and Category:1914 deaths

Basically, just poke around the category hierarchy until you find categories you think apply to the article. Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography may be of help. Josh Parris#: 05:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peñafiel (mineral water)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Peñafiel (mineral water), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Peñafiel. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 15:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 00:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
