Dave Moore

thank you for your comments on Dave Moore... I was learning how to use the Wikipedia at first and wanted to make sure it was correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doubleriver (talk • contribs)

Fast on the trigger?

Hello, I am an inexperienced Wikipedia editor intimidated by the deletion tag you set on PTLens 13 minutes after I started editing it. Can I have some time to complete my work? The page is similar to other pages that gravitates around PanoTools. What have I done to deserve this hard and painful tap on my fingers? Yuv 13:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Naming conventions

This is why you can't have a lowercase first letter. BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, contribs, odometer) 22:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you talking about having it in the window title bar? BuickCenturydriver (Honk, contribs) 21:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

You could move it. Lowercase letters are allowed after a slash, but not after a namespace indicator. If you want to change how it's displayed you need to use javascript (which I'm not too familiar in writing. BuickCenturydriver (Honk, contribs) 20:48, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Stalingrad Madonna

Hi Casmith, you are correct, I'm going to take it offline and complete it with my own words, citing sources. Cheers.--RobNS 18:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Stalingrad Madonna revert

Hi Casmith, for some reason MartinBot won't let me remove the page without reverting to what I had. In the meantime, I will re-direct the page to the Battle of Stalingrad. Sound OK? Thanks.--RobNS 19:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Big Horn

please remove candidate for deletion nowKgrr 11:54, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I am slowly working on many of the mountains of Washington. I do one or two a day.

I have identified a list of notable mountains that pages will be created. One is a list of highest points in each of Washington's 39 counties. I research if they need disambiguation. So for Big Horn mountain I had to research whether there were other things called Big Horn - there are tons of them. As you can see there are hundreds of uses of Big Horn. If I can, I find newspaper articles relating to the place. But due to the literally thousands of misspellings of bighorn sheep, businesses and other things like transformer toys and a ship... I have not been able to isolate one article about Big Horn. Big Horn so far is not notable for much of anything besides being the highest point in Lewis County, Washington. But I did find a couple of trip reports.Kgrr 18:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Penmon, Anglesey

Hi there. You may have noticed that I've been adding to the excellent article you created here - a few extra refs and some photographs, plus an infobox as suggested by a reviewer. (Oh, and I renamed it too!) Can you think of anything else that can be added at the moment? I would be interested in nominating it for an assessment for Good Article status - I haven't done this before, but it seems to comply with the criteria (or to be nearly there, anyway). What do you think? Bencherlite 11:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

You baked the cake, I just added the icing! Fingers crossed... Bencherlite 20:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear...

This might interest you. Alex Holowczak 09:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: (WP:HD) TOTD

I was wondering about that, too. Wikipedia talk:Tip of the day would be the appropriate place to bring this up, but I don't think it's very active. Other than that, the admin's noticeboard or miscellanious Village Pump may be places to bring it up that would get a faster response. --ais523 15:59, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Penmon revisited

Hello again. The GA review picked up various points, some easy to fix, some not. Anyway, I've had a go and fixing things and I think it could do with your further attention to see whether you can spot anything that I've missed, particularly points 1, 5 and 7. Then perhaps it'll get its GA badge! Bencherlite 19:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Great work. I've renominated it and left a message for our previous reviewer, as he offered to look at it again if nobody else did whilst he was away. Bencherlite 17:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Good news! I think that means that you and I are entitled to display this

Re: (User talk:ais523) Importing scripts

Your monobook.js looks fine, and in fact it worked when I copied it to my account to test. Try bypassing your cache again, and see if it works now. --ais523 12:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: (User talk:ais523) Username highlighter

Of course, I can't add a special case in the script for a specific username, but it would probably be possible to add an option in the script to highlight a different string than your own username; I'd find that helpful too when using my non-admin account (like I am at the moment). I'll look into it. ais523 09:58, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I've finished writing the script, and I've tested it in IE6 (I don't have access to other browsers at the moment). Because I'm not using my admin account at the moment, you'll have to change the page you installed the script from to User:ais523 non-admin/highlightmyname2.js; then write

hmn2username="Casmith";

on the next line, bypass your cache, and the script should work as you requested. Hope that helps! ais523 10:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Barneca RfA thank you spam

Casmith_789, thank you for your support during my RfA. If the concerns that were brought up by other editors gave you second thoughts, rest assured that I'll keep all of the comments in mind in the coming months, and will try again later. In the mean time, if you see me doing something stupid, please let me know. See you around. --barneca (talk) 12:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the friendly advice

and reply on my user page talk. I have not checked wikipedia for a few months and to be honest I did not miss it and will most likely stay checked out. I had a reflection and decided that wikipedia as it stands now does not work for me. To cut a long analysis short: it lacks mechanisms to protect real knowledge from self-proclaimed "knowledge police"; it is subject to mob rule; it lacks reliable mechanism to distinguish authoritative contributors from charlatans. Fear not, Britannica, technology and popularity are not enough to turn a website into an authoritative source. Yuv 23:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Help Desk question

You can go to an old version of the page and edit it. This would revert all changes added to it since that date. For a series of reverts use the compare selected versions nodes on the history tab and then press undo. This can be used for multiple cases of vandalism. Both instances really, should only be for vandalism. If it is an editorial or format dispute then take it to the talk page for discussion. Hope this helps. Woodym555 16:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

No, you have to create the text i'm afraid. But it is easier than reverting 6 instances of vandalism individually. I usually just write in something like "reverting xx instances of vandalism by x.x..xx..xx.." You don't have to write out the exact "revert" text as long as people can understand you reasoning.
