[edit] EasyTimeline

Hi Mike, I answered your question on my talk page. If this answer does not address your prõblem, please tell me. Erik Zachte 14:34, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Louisville (History)

Thanks for adding history text to the Louisville article. However, I just have a slight concern that the material could still be under copyright. Did you investigate that before adding the material? We just have to make sure we don't have a violation here. Again, thank you for your contribution. --Stevietheman 17:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Since it was printed in 1921, it would be public domain. —Mike 02:12, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline - Geological Timescale

I think it would be a good idea to update the timeline articles to this syntax, but unfortunately the Geologic Timescale WikiProject is quite morbid as you probably noticed. If it ever came up (feel free to discuss this on the Wikiproject), I would support the update. -- EmperorBMA|話す 16:46, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect problem - village pump

Hi Mike thanks for the answer on my problem - it worked - but I can't see what you did or where the w: you refer to has to go - can you clarify? Thanks Brookie 11:23, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The code in the page looks like this: #REDIRECT [[w:Wellingborough#Wellingborough_School]]

[edit] External links vs. External link

Hi. I see that you said on the Wikipedia talk:External links page that it should always be plural. That's how I've always seen other people do it too. Unfortunately an anonymous user changed that in the actual document page and claimed it should be singular if there is only one. I hadn't noticed this until I was telling someone else that it should be plural and he/she asked me to prove it. The anonymous user changed it less than a month ago without comment or any discussion elsewhere I can find, so I changed it back. Also unfortunately the editor who called me on it earlier decided he was going to go revert it because the "4 months" it was there (actually less than a month, but whatever) supposedly made it valid. I was wondering if you know of some other place where it was discussed or what your thoughts on the issue are. DreamGuy 22:19, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiportal Africa

Thanks for creating Wikiportal Africa! Did you know of the Africa-related regional notice board? — mark ✎ 21:27, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 13:43, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:LondonN

Hi & Good morning. I notice you changed the Template:LondonN. This is one of a series that all appear together on this page London postal district. Any change to one template needs to be copied to the others as it looks odd otherwise. Kind regards Mrsteviec 4 July 2005 06:49 (UTC)

[edit] TOCright

(Pasted from the TfD discussion, since it is a response to a question of yours)

  • Comment On my talk page Ta bu shi da yu wrote: I'll concede the point entirely if a style guideline is created that makes people use that under the lead section. However, there is now a problem of the heading underline cutting the TOC, making it look unprofessional. If these things can be sorted I will drop all my objections to the template, and apologise for losing perspective on the whole issue. This sounds sensible to me, except that in the case of a very long lead section, TOCright might be better at the start of the article. DES 5 July 2005 04:19 (UTC)
    • Can you point out where that occurs? All the articles that I see do not have any lines cutting the TOC. Can you also state what browser you are using? I have an idea that might fix it, but I need to know if it is maybe something that is only occuring with your own CSS. —Mike July 5, 2005 06:53 (UTC)
      • That was in the Intelligent design article. I am using IE 6.0 at 1280 x 1024 pixels. I don't know what TBDY is suing, and he saw it too. DES 5 July 2005 16:07 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your changes to TOCright. Should similer changes be made to the recently created Template:TOCleft?
    Ok, done. —Mike July 5, 2005 18:05 (UTC)

Hello. Since you were part of the discussion of the Template:TOCright template once it was moved from VfD to the MoS, you might be interested in the draft proposal currently posted there. We appreciate any comments and suggestions you may have. -- Titoxd 23:25, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tudor style

Hi as you have contributed to the above page perhaps you would like to comment on the idea proposed here [1]. Regards Giano | talk 12:21, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos!

Good job on the column style on the Looney Tunes article! It looks very nice. BrianSmithson 21:11, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Wikipedians

Why did you remove my page from Category:Wikipedians? -- D. F. Schmidt (talk) 00:33, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Looking at the history it appears I did. I think at time there were less than half a dozen user pages in that cat and I was just doing a little 'house cleaning' you might say. —Mike 06:15, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

No big deal, I guess. I was wondering why you did it though. -- D. F. Schmidt (talk) 09:01, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User categorization

Greetings! Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new User Categorization scheme. I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in Kansas (Category:Wikipedians in Kansas) since your name was listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Kansas page. The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Kansas page is scheduled for deletion. Thanks! Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 01:00, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you revert my edit on Washington Township, New Jersey?

Just curious. I changed it back the way I had it, because unlike most of the rest of the USA, townships in New Jersey are municipalities on equal footing with Towns and cities. See Township (New Jersey) for more info (I wrote that too).

[edit] Aquarius constellation

Hello. I'm spanish. I've been seeing Category:Aquarius constellation and I don't understand the relation between:

Saturn Nebula M 31 NGC 7009
Helix Nebula M 32 NGC 7293

M 31 is Andromeda Galaxy, and here it says that is Saturn Nebula, the same with M32 and Helix Nebula. Explain me. I'm copying these tables to Spanish Wikipedia. Thanks and bye. --Emijrp 15:00, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

It has been corrected. Thanks. —Mike 21:04, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
