[edit] Please support complement EU !!!

Hi,as a EU supporter maybe you´d like to support this: I´m trying to implement the 'EU' in the city-templates of European city articles. The EU should be mentioned next to the country; like country : Spain / EU Please support the enhancement in these templates and argue for the innovation if you want to. Would be great.

[edit] Removal of Reflist tag

Can you explain this edit? Also, please provide edit summaries when editing, and remember to mark your edits as minor only if they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Pagrashtak 19:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It came out of nowhere and caused an error. I am actively editing those pages and I thought it was a random insert. A bit of warning before you do that would be nice.
Slamlander (talk) 19:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
The references in the texts you've been adding with <ref> don't appear unless you use the corresponding <references /> tag. {{Reflist}} is a template that includes that tag, along with code to change the text size and facilitate multi-column display. The error is from an empty reference you added. You just couldn't tell the error was there because you were missing the references tag. Exactly what sort of warning are you expecting from me? Pagrashtak 19:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Nothing much, just that what you added wasn't an accident, I guess. I really wasn't expecting anyone else doing stuff at the same time that I was. It startled me, sry. - Slamlander (talk) 19:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
No problem. If you work on pages with any amount of traffic you'll soon get used to that, though. Regarding the minor edits, you should check your preferences (with the link at the top of the page) and go the "Editing" tag. If you have "Mark all edits minor by default" checked, uncheck it. Some editors might view a major edit marked as minor as an attempt to hide what you are doing. While there, you might also consider checking "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" to help encourage the use of edit summaries. By the way—check out Wikipedia:Footnotes to read about the <ref> and <references /> system. Pagrashtak 19:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review hull articles

I looked at your work on the hull articles. The only concern is the Fundamental Concept section at Monohull. I see what your trying to do there, but it seems a bit over the top on the discussion of logs. Yes, the origin of the hull was likely a log, but I don't know that the disucssion needs to be this log intensive. Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 19:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I was trying to hit a common denominator. Open to suggestions on alternatives. -- Slamlander (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
