[edit] Reverting Vandalism

Thanks for giving everyone the heads up on the vandalism at the hot dog article. Wikipedia:Revert is a helpful link on how you can fix vandalism when you see it, since you noted that you were unsure on what actions to take. Cheers. Youngamerican 17:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CSD

Hello, JohnCub and welcome. You did everything right regarding the AFD nomination process. When you can, review Wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion. Certain articles need not be brought to AFD, as you'll see in there. Happy editing. PJM 13:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal tests

[edit] I need to figure out how to put in user links in the edit summaries.

It is not [[JohnCub]]
[[User:JohnCub]]works, but I think it would be better to put [[User:JohnCub|JohnCub]]
{{User:JohnCub}} this seems to include the page User:JohnCub at this point.
[[User:blah]] does NOT work. am going to try single []'s
neagtive, that didn't work. And I don't even know what to search for to find the answer. I think I remember seeing a helpme thing, maybe I'll try this.


I need help not messing up links in the Edit Summary box. I want to be able to at least link to user pages but I keep messing it up. could someone point me in the direction of the right page to learn the proper codes for this? As seen above I've tried a few different things and I'm afraid I just can't seem to figure it out.

It should work basically the way normal formatting does. Just write a link [[like this]] in an edit summary, and it will format as an intrawiki link. You have to write out URLs, I think. --W.marsh 02:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
hmm. [[User:JohnCub]] DOES work, but it is case sensitive (must be a linux server) now to test User_talk:JohnCub
All good. I think my format is now [[User:JohnCub|JohnCub]] <sub>[[User_talk:JohnCub|Talk]]</sub>
the sub tag does not work. Need to remove that.

[edit] Date linking

I added date links to your lighthouse article. All dates with Month Day or Month Day, Year are linked with brackets around the Month Day and around the year. This allows the user preference to display date either Month Day, Year as Americans like or Day Month Year as Europeans like or Year-Month-Day as computers like. You can set your preference in the "My Preferences" at the top of the page. Rmhermen 23:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Much appreciated! It seems the closer you are to a project the more narrow your field of vision is on that. I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks again JohnCub 00:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Park locmap warriorspath.jpg

Hi, Thanks for your work here. I wanted to let you know that you have this image tagged as Public Domain because it is from the Federal Government. It is not, but rather from the Pennsylvania state government. I put a speedy delete tag on it to have an admin see what they think, but it at least needs to be retagged (probably fair use if it is allowed here at all). I will put a Protected Places box on the Warriors Path State Park page, this has a (legal) locator map built in. Ruhrfisch 16:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
