Whoah! Thanks for the call on that bad link in the article on Benjamin Franklin. I just fixed it. RK

You could very well be right. Fix it as you see fit. And by the way, welcome to Wikipedia :-) Jussi-Ville Heiskanen 14:18, Oct 11, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Creating a lynx template here:

This is an attempt to create a template named Lynx, if such hasn't been created already. It is intended to provide an option for a set of simple links to other Wikimedia projects or places within them at the bottom of any page that uses it. ~ Kalki

Template:Lynx : this is designed to provide links to places within Wikimedia projects Wikiquote

This is a template on which I intend to place easily updated messages about what is occurring at Wikiquote, and other projects. I don't expect much interest right now, but am hoping I can soon refine this to being an interesting link that some people would want on their own user page or talk page. ~ Kalki this is designed to provide an updatable personal message about things at Wikiquote and other projects, to anyone who is interested. (Probably not too many, at this point.)

[edit] Kate Bush

Thanks for the comment. I'm staggering through the list, then I have to 'get creative' and actually say something about them that's NPOV - which is going to be damn hard! LOL. Re: My name; Actually it's my real name (as in used in RL) just using my surname as letters. Yeah, I've one of those double barrelled surnames. :). Usually I use a variety of user names (Dark Matter, Glint, Atreides etc.) but for this and a few other sites I'm not afraid to use my own.

BTW. Feel free to add to the Kate Bush album pages. I only have to add Live at the Hammersmith Odeon (I was there!!!!) and I'm done. --Martin TB 18:33, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I actually saw her twice!. I booked, and went to see her at the London Palladium. Some time later we heard that she was adding extra nights at Hammersmith as a tribute to one of the engineers that died on the tour. I went to the night that was recorded (with my friend Richard). After the show, we waited until 3am to watch her leave, then walked home as the sun was rising. It was a magical night. BTW as a result of this exchange I just looked into my keep it forever box. I have have a pristine copy of the tour programme (with postcards and 1 flyer). My Lionheart (Kate Bush fan club) membership card - I was member no. 3148 - and a few of the newsletters she sent out :). I', off to read them for a bit :D -- Martin TB 19:26, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiquote

Thanks! I just was promoted to a Wikiquote administrator a couple days ago. I'm afraid I can't change the upload screen – it would take a developer to do that – but I'll bring it up. It sounds like a good idea.

I have some more ideas for Wikiquote that I'd love to bring up with you sometime. I'll talk to you later. – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 04:44, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Wiki Quotes

On a Google search I found a Wiki Quote attributed to John Maynard Keynes. I do not wish to edit that site so if you would reasd the note I left about this at Talk:Carl Melchior and fix it, that would be appreciated. - Ted Wilkes 16:52, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Classic Rock

Hello. I was wondering if you would like to participate in my classic rock survey. I'm trying to find the most like classic rock song. There is more information on my user page. Hope you participate! RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 21:24, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Just a note to let you know that the link on your user page points to the band, not the film. -TDK 11:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username change request

Yes - I have made this request across all projects. Thanks! BD2412 T 19:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi Kalki, thanks for blocking my doppleganger, over at Wikiquote. Paul August ☎ 05:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

No problem. ~ Kalki 08:13, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eleanor Farjeon

I've added a paragraph to this. Hope you don't mind.[dj5dj]

[edit] "The lamps are going out......"

TRIKER 16:58, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

You are correct about the Earl Grey quote business. It was my first attempt, and I made a lot of errors, both as to form and content. I find Wikiquote very counter-intuitive and difficult to use. For example - this is in reference to something in WIKIQUOTE, but it wound up here, and I don't know how to move it!!!But, I just love that quote - "The lamps are going out...." It's hard to find a more prescient quote than that. Thanks for your help and guidance.

[edit] Cut and paste move?

I can't work out quite what you did Jan 7 at Baltasar Gracián. I suspect that it was a cut-and-paste move that separated the article from its history, but maybe I'm wrong, maybe you did some kind of merge? Your edit summary doesn't make it clear. Anyway, if my understanding is correct: could you please see Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves? And, especially, in the future, if you want to move something that you cannot move yourself, could you please use Wikipedia:Requested moves? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 04:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe the combining action I took there a couple weeks ago was in response to the situation apparently being something of a "troublesome case" with both pages having divergent edits. It is confusing, but the title of the non-redirect page had become "Baltasar Gracián y Morales" rather than the preferred "Baltasar Gracián"
Here is the history of Baltasar Gracián y Morales (which I believed might have originally been named "Baltasar Gracián" but had been moved prior to page moves showing up in the edit histories) which had edits from 18 December 2004 - 23 December 2006 prior to my making it a redirect on 7 January 2007:

I'm not 100% sure either way - Bartlett's Quotations includes the "t", so that's what I went with. Cheers! bd2412 T 02:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, now that I see that every other source omits that "t", I am convinced that Bartlett's was wrong. Damn them. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
