[edit] Colonel Wright (sternwheeler)

Updated DYK query On 3 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Colonel Wright (sternwheeler), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Ant on a rubber rope

I've now expanded the article as originally planned and added categories and references. There's more that can be done (as ever), but I felt it was appropriate to remove your expand/references/categorise tags. I hope you agree. Comments/contributions welcome of course. The page is Ant on a rubber rope. Mooncow (talk) 04:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament

Hopefully this cleared things up a little. Is there a better way to put that fact? BlueAg09 (Talk) 03:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

The first sentence of the article cited states "Neither coach has won a national title. Neither conference has won one either." Kansas may have won a national title as a member of the Big 8, but not as a member of the Big 12. It's like saying under the conference's current name (Big 12) it has not won a national championship. If you're still not fine with that, then I will go ahead and revert it. BlueAg09 (Talk) 03:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Notability (schools) edit

What happened here? Did you walk away from a logged-in browser and someone posted junk on your behalf? RossPatterson (talk) 19:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inappropriate user page

Hey Truthanado, thanks for your note, I've provided the user in question with a warning and if nothing is done within a couple of days, I'll happily delete his user page. Keep me up to speed should anything develop. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 15:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Misplaced village

I use IE 7 and it looks OK on my monitor (on land, seems right position). I also checked the coordinates to make sure they were correct (and not actually for a point in the water), and they are correct. My original guess is that the calibration of the map is off slightly - not noticed if a dot is 3 pixels too high on land, but obvious on water. I see Appraiser has tried this, so not sure what else to suggest. User:VerruckteDan may have some idea - he has calibrated many locator maps. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  • PS Sometimes the simplest is best - I assume you have tried bypassing your cache? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:43, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Yes, I cleared cache in Firefox and even tried MS Internet Explorer 7. Both show the same thing. If you see it okay and I don't, I'll assume it's a problem with me and my browsers, or maybe my monitor resolution. It is curious though that it does the same thing for me in both browsers on two different PCs. Truthanado (talk) 23:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
    • I tried it on another computer with IE and it looked fine there too - has the problem been resolved? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Problem solved. The latitude was 10 seconds too far north in the infobox and also in the coord template in the article text. Epodunk and Google Earth helped find the error. We can sleep tonight. Truthanado (talk) 01:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
        • Great news - thanks for letting me know. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Levett

I just wanted to knock out the piece and get it up. As always, I am refining as I go. It'll get quite a bit of additional copy editing. Thanks for noticing. Regards,MarmadukePercy (talk) 00:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, the correct spelling is, in fact, Levet, not Levett (although it sometimes varied). Another user created the title, but I agree with Levet.MarmadukePercy (talk) 00:35, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

You're welcome. RobertLunaIII (talk) 01:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vilnius declaration AfD

A quick google, ProQuest, and Ebsco search turns up a vast amount of sources for the subject. What method did you use to approach the subject when performing a pre-AfD search? I ask because I'd like to help you to improve your searching methods to help prevent other unnecessary AfDs in the future. Celarnor Talk to me 02:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

  • I closed the AfD as a Keep. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Yes - I forgot to, sorry (I did add the old afd tag on the article's talk page). Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:28, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bob the Wikipedian/Zoobox/doc

Thanks. You can speedy delete it. I keep doing this for some reason...leaving off the User: part. I've already created the page I need where it should be, so I won't be losing anything. Thanks a ton! It's people like you who keep people like me in line...:) Bob the Wikipedian, the Tree of Life WikiDragon (talk) 02:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Greg Gall (football fan)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Greg Gall (football fan), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? KenWalker | Talk 02:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] autodudding is not mandatory

Hi—It's quite clear in MOSNUM that there's nothing at all mandatory about the autodudding of full dates. I strongly discourage the practice wherever I can, for a whole bunch of reasons that have been aired countless times.
