[edit] AAR Template

At one point, you complained that the template is "too bulky", but now you are adding redundant information to the table? Please note that The Mike Malloy Show is a redirect to Mike Malloy. --Asbl 00:47, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Not for long. Thetrick 00:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of longest cable stayed bridges

Thank you so much for making this into a table. I've been meaning to do this for quite some time. But I decided to bring List of largest suspension bridges to the level of Featured list before undertaking it. I'm glad you are using a similar format. Once there are images on the list, you probably don't need the heading, but that is a minor point. -- Samuel Wantman 05:47, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Used the format from the suspension bridge because I thought it was pretty good. I started updating the contents but closed my window of edits by accident (duh). I'll try again to update content sometime soon, but it will be piecemeal. --Thetrick 05:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fantasy world?

Hello there! You removed Category:Fantasy worlds from the Gezeitenwelt article. I would like to explain why I think differently: The article is primarily about the novel series, not specifically about the fantasy world, true. But the world has the same name, is mentioned in the article as setting of the novels, and does, I guess, not warrant its own article for reasons of notability. Anyone looking through the categories searching for fantasy worlds should therefore find the Gezeitenwelt article in Category:Fantasy worlds. What is your opinion? Daranios (talk) 13:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for talking about this. My thought was that putting the article in the Category:Fantasy worlds category was not entirely appropriate as it wasn't mainly about a world. Most fantasy books/series are set in their own "world" and therefore most articles in the Category:Fantasy books by series could go in the Category:Fantasy worlds category. I think the Category:Fantasy worlds category should be for articles that are mainly about an entire "world" or universe and that include things like history, peoples, cultures, not just geography. I'm not saying that Gezeitenwelt article is better or worse than any other article in that category; it just happened to be the one I clicked on last. (Also, since it is really about a series, the year/novel categories aren't appropriate either.) --Thetrick (talk) 14:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
I see your point, but I do not completely agree. I have moved this discussion to the article's talk page in case anyone else wants to comment. I hope you don't mind.
By the way: Thanks for changing the novels category to series, I definitely agree with that. Daranios (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit War

I have left this message on the other users talk page and to be fair I also need to leave it on yours too -

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Allegations of Israeli Apartheid. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 03:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate the even-handed intervention. --Thetrick (talk) 04:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
