Your place or mine ...?

I generally prefer unfragmented discussions. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page — my talk page — as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. Similarly, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there.

At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Your replacement of this template with {{reflist}} is not correct in many instances. If you do further replacements, if {{FootnotesSmall}} was used in a way that left the references at 100%, it should be replaced with <references/>. Gimmetrow 11:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll start doing that.--Rockfang (talk) 11:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Category:WikiProject Sims members

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:WikiProject Sims members, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:WikiProject Sims members is used solely by a template that has been deleted (CSD C3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:WikiProject Sims members, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Re: Expand Template

Rockfang, thank you for the advice. I am relatively new to wikipedia. Is this a rule or merely a convention (i.e. not placing an expand tag on an article that has a stub tag). Also, where can I learn more about tag rules and conventions? Thank you for the help. LittleAlien¹8² --talk trash-- 22:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I just saw the heading at the top about keeping the conversation in one place. LittleAlien¹8² --talk trash-- 23:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
For the expand template, I just went to it's page and read what it said there. I don't think it's an official policy or guideline. Just a suggestion on how to use it best.--Rockfang (talk) 23:58, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks for your help, Rockfang. Let me know if you have any other suggestions or advice. LittleAlien¹8²--talk trash-- 00:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
