[edit] Template for Articles

I was wondering if there was a template for articles similar to this one. This template doesn't seem to support any page outside the User_talk: namespace. Maybe the template could be expanded to include all talk namespaces as well. --Nn123645 (talk) 07:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a bad idea. In fact, the Dutch version has something like that built in, though it's a bit of a hack. I'll see about putting it in here as well. — Edokter • Talk • 15:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I clairifed it better the first time I wrote about it, here is my post from User talk:Komusou

Hey, I was wondering if there was a similar template to the talkback template for more than just the User_talk: namespace. If not I was wondering if it would be possible to expand the template to include a variable to allow to set the page for different namespaces. For example instead of it saying:

"Hello UserA you have new messages at UserX's talk page."

The message could read:

"Hello UserA you have new messages at the ArticleZ talk page." --Nn123645 (talk) 21:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I know, that's what I ment as well. — Edokter • Talk • 21:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding it :D. --Nn123645 (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Another thing I was wondering is it would be possible to include a timestamp on the talkback. Usually when I have been adding talk back I add it with 5 tildes after it, but it would be nice if it was built into the template. This would be useful because not everyone removes it from their talkpage and if you have more than one talkback template on the page, or a talkback template that has been there for months it can get confusing. --Nn123645 (talk) 20:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

No, that would only work when the template is substituted, which should not be done. Don't be afraid to remove the template that you have placed yourself from other people's talkpage. — Edokter • Talk • 20:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Infantry

Parsecboy, It DID talk about the history if US Army Infantry. And with your logic, quotes don't belong either. I added it to show the pride Infantrymen feel about our chosen profession. RM

"Hello, Hueydoc. This issue has nothing to do with whether you or I served in the infantry, it has to do with building a reputable encyclopedia. The poem about the infantry of the United States doesn't belong on a page about the concept and history of infantry in general; really, it has no place in Wikipedia at all, unless there's an article about the poem. Please stop adding it to the article. Also, please use edit summaries when reverting, instead of the default from using the undo button." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hueydoc (talk • contribs) 22:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
