[edit] double redirects

When you do a move, you are instructed to fix double redirects. Please do so for John A. Ferguson High School (Florida). -- RHaworth 20:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the Late War

No problem. You are new and everyone has a steep learning curve here. Not a problem. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 11:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellaneous dialogs with Frank

• re: 1632 Categories, various articles

Looks like you are removing the categories the majority of commentary in the talk:1632 series discussion was wanting to keep. If any, remove the [[Category: 1632-1632 Alternative-history]] category in favor of [[Category: 1632-verse]] flavor. Best regards, FrankB 00:49, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

With a mere 169 edits, IMHO, you shouldn't yet be playing with categories. Let me welcome you. See User:Fabartus/Welcome message, and poke around in the various links on my page. FrankB 00:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

See answer bottom. It takes far more than this triviality to get up my nose! Interesting turn of speech, that. BestFrankB 15:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Duhhhh -- I just noticed your response on the above. ~;-(

• (not to mention the 'above itself')... Chagrin not grins! FrankB 15:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the heads up, but!... re: user talk:fabartus#Battle of Breitenfeld

• I didn't realize you were so new! (holding out on me, huh!?!) Here's a Tool Link just for you (Beware, not currently working properly using IE6. Snoop user talk: Interiot, and you may find out why... it's getting a lot of 'press' there!
• You might also want to initialize your user page and introduce yourself to the community at large. Also go and 'mine' the goodies on mine (you can put them in a user subpage if you don't like my clutter). Then copy user:fabartus/Welcome message into a sandbox page (using edit mode), then play with it some. Natch, save the link someplace convienient (Examin the top of my talk carefully <G>)

ttfn. If you need a hand, yell. FrankB 15:52, 25 April 2006 (UTC) re: The colon doesn't do anything for pages, but for Categories, allows you to create a link to the category, without putting the page you are on into the category,like this Category:Category needed --Yendor1958 16:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

• That's what I thought, but I'd posited that it might suppress the 'What Links Here' feature as well, so at least you saved me testing that theory! Thanks for the speedy answer. Didn't know there was a 'Cat:Cat needed' Cat! <G> FrankB 16:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] category needed

I agree with you on all counts. {{uncat}} is useful and should be put at the bottom. The discussion you responded to was one of the first times anyone disagreed with that approach.

BTW, I noticed the comment to you earlier about double redirects. Unfortunately, that guy didn't bother to explain the problem with double redirects. Click on the following: John A. Ferguson High School (Florida). You'll notice it just brings you to a redirect page. Wikipedia is designed to only follow one level of redirects. It's like that on purpose to prevent circular redirects (where A redirects to B and B redirects back to A, etc...). Therefore, a redirect should never point to another redirect because it would not progress any further - like in the case of John A. Ferguson High School (Florida). In general if A redirects to B and B redirects to C, clicking on A will not bring you all the way to C like you might intend. The change you need to make is to change A to redirect straight to C. This occurs a lot when people move pages - like if you moved B to C in the previous example. C is created and takes all of B's history and B becomes a redirect to C. But, if there was already a redirect to B, that then becomes a double redirect. Let me know if I confused you with all this!  :)

[edit] Listing {{Latter-day Saints}} for deletion

Hi - the template {{Latter-day Saints}} appears to duplicate the purpose and functionality of {{LDS}} - I am going to ask that it, {{Latter-day Saints}}, be deleted - but wanted to notify all the contributors in case they object.

[edit] License tagging for Image:TerritorialDecoration.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:TerritorialDecoration.PNG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 08:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
