[edit] new talk page sections

To add a new section to a User Talk go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jordancpeterson&action=edit&section=new Only replace "Jordancpeterson" with who you want to go to. On all Talk pages there is a plus sign next to the edit button that also does this.

If you want to add a link to add a new section to your talk page you can do this:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jordancpeterson&action=edit&section=new Leave a message for me!]

which will produce:

Leave a message for me!

Hope this helps! Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 03:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

  • LOL! You guys are great! Just what I was looking for! And *****! Good to see you. I think I've gotten unhooked from *** and hooked here. :o Not exactly what I planned. I don't really have time for either. :o Strawberry Island

[edit] Learning new tricks

You can also learn some new ways of doing things by looking at the edits. Most of my userpage was carved out by looking at how other people did things. The scrolling sections are my favorite addition. Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 03:50, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

  • No kidding... learning a lot! Thanks for the help! I'm still concerned I might like to link to other articles to much... let me see if I can find an example of this. Strawberry Island
    If someone overlinks, someone else will usually correct it. You might not want to link country in that article though. See Herbert Randall and Maiden Head to see how I use links. The first has a lot, the second not so much. Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 03:57, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Ok makes sense. I like the first one better but I follow what you are saying. :) Thanks again for the help. Strawberry Island

[edit] Links

Since you asked earlier, I went and found the relevant information: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links). Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 02:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SAT Airlines

No, thanks, it was a mistake...

[edit] Re: [[no:William_Branham]]

no is the langauge code for Norwegian (I think). The code you saw would add a link in the side bar to the Nowegian version of the article. Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 19:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

pt links to the Portugese (sp?) version. Jokermage "Timor Mentum Occidit" 19:51, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, wikidweb, and an unintended result

Just saying hello.

Two items that may interest you:

  1. Your use of the {{U.S. regions}} template on your user page is making your user page show up in Category:Regions of the United States. Might want to fix that.
  2. The owner of wikidweb.com (Mediawiki based web directory) is trying really hard to convince me of the worth of his site based on a comment I made when editing web directories. See User talk:Wrathchild-K.

[edit] ODP cross-pollenation

I'm trying to formalize an effort to get more links to and from ODP and Wikipedia and to capture external links not wanted by Wikipedia for ODP. I'm hoping to pull this into a full-fledged WikiProject. Please see User:Wrathchild-K/ODP Project. I'd love your feedback. (There's also a discussion on the internal ODP editor forums.) —Wrathchild (talk) 12:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signing comments with IP address and date of user.

On Talk:Public_space you'll notice that I signed two comments with the information for the history page. Is this the correct procedure when someone doesn't sign their comments? Strawberry Island 16:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is correct, you can use {{unsigned|username}} or {{unsigned|ip}} to sign unsigned comments —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tulkolahten (talk • contribs)

[edit] Fonts used on Wikipedia

Ok, I have an idea what is wrong but I'm not sure how to approach fixing it. When I visit pages sometimes the characters are showing up at little square boxes or worse, question marks. I know I obviously am missing characters in the font or something but how in the world can I fix it? An example is on the Smyrna page in the first line where it's saying zmir or something. The first letter isn't there. --Strawberry Island 05:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

For FireFox & Internet Explorer -> go to the View menu -> character encoding -> Unicode

[edit] Using Infobox Country templates on other wiki's

Ok, this is a bit outside of the Wikipedia site, but I thought I would ask and see if someone would possibly know which direction to point me if such a thing exists. I'm wanting to be able to display the country infoboxes on another wiki site (that uses MediaWiki). Is this possible? (Would make it a lot easier then having to create the templates and copy everything over and then when something changes having to change it.) Particularly interested in Template:Infobox_Country or any other way to make this simpler. Thank you so much for any help in advance! Strawberry Island 07:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Two-part answer. ;) The easy part, getting the template: copy the templates over; you can just copy and paste the page source over, that's an easy way to do it. One caveat, if there's any meta-templates (as in, templates calling other templates), you'll need to copy those, too. The harder part, GFDL compliance -- the easiest way to do this is usually putting a note/template on the template's talk page (at your wiki) saying "this template incorporates text from a Wikipedia template, found here (linked), as is licensed under the GFDL (linked). You can find its authorship history on Wikipedia here (linked)." One rule in GFDL is that derivative content (such as any modifications you make to the template, after copying it) would also need to be released under the GFDL -- if your wiki plans to use the GFDL license, or something compatible, cool; if not, that may pose a problem for you. WP:C has some linked pages on these issues. Hope that helps! – Luna Santin (talk) 07:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you so much, that helps a lot! We are already planning on releasing everything under the GFDL license (actually it's already on the site). My biggest problem is with something like the country infoboxes there are dozens (if not hundreds) of these meta-templates. This makes the task very daunting. Is there any other way to just directly link the data on to the page (live)? That way when Wikipedia updates the template it's updated on our end too. I'm thinking there is no way to do this but hoping there is. :) Strawberry Island 07:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... that would be pretty nice, but other than checking back yourself (manually or with a bot), I'm not sure if there's any perfect solution. Only other idea I have is if you fiddle around with Special:ExpandTemplates to see if you can bypass some of those meta-templates. A bit outside of my usual experience, either way. ;) – Luna Santin (talk) 08:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Sure thing. :) If you run into any problems, let me know, and I may at least be able to find somebody who's dealt with it, before. – Luna Santin (talk) 08:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Truncation (disambiguation)

Hi. Jordan. Just a small note. I took out the link you put in Truncation (disambiguation) since per style conventions there should be no links in disambig pages except the concepts being disambiguated. I don't know the relevant policy now, but it is somewhere in the style manual. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William M. Branham

What do you think about the photo situation? I emailed VGR with the photos attached and the reply was "Brother Ken, It is fine to use these pictures on Wikipedia. Thank you for the respect you showed in asking. God bless you brother. Voice Of God Recordings"
Ken Rev107 (talk) 07:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

From my little bit of detective work, the three deleted images were placed there by Nswinton on 11 April 2007.
He was advised the images “copyright status is disputed” 13:11, 11 October 2007.
The matter was raised on the WP:PUI page 13:11, 11 Oct 2007.
The images were removed 21:19 11 Nov 2007.
I would like to see them reinstated but not sure how to go about it.
