how to wikilink to policy pages

Hello there. I corrected a wikilink that you made on Hu12's talk page[1] since it was an obvious mistake. For example, the proper way to link to WP:TRUCE is using [[WP:TRUCE]].

(I explain you a bit how this stuff works, since you might need it on the future)

Using {{WP:TRUCE}} causes the whole source code of WP:TRUCE to be included in-line on the place where you are using it (as you can imagine, this causes all sort of problems), and the {{}} thing is also used to invoke templates.

You were using {{Shortcut|WP:TRUCE}} which calls the {{Shortcut}} template with "WP:TRUCE" as the first unnamed parameter ({{Shortcut|1=WP:TRUCE}} makes the same thing. You can use "1=" when the template reads incorrectly the parameter because it uses external links). You were instructing the "Shortcut" template to create a shortcut box that lists WP:TRUCE as a shortcut for the actual page.

This is similar to how {{cite web}} works. {{cite web|url=http://www.example.org}} is calling the "cite web" template giving "http://www.example.org" as a parameter named "url".

If you need to quote an executive from a company, try to use {{quote|1=blahblahblah}} for a nicely formatted paragraph --Enric Naval (talk) 18:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Any chance you can help out with the fundamental problem I am having with him also?Urbanrenewal (talk) 19:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't see your message. You need to leave me a message on my talk page to contact me. I'm taking some page out of my watchlist because I can't keep up with so many pages. About Hu12, I can't help you, but don't worry about it. I recommend that you just keep editing like normal. Your behaviour will show with time that it was a misunderstanding --Enric Naval (talk) 01:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the military history project

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, article logistics, and other tasks.
We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention.
The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Wandalstouring (talk) 12:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change to "Private Equity secondary market" page

Hi Urbanrenewal, I just wanted to contact you regarding a change I made to the "Private Equity secondary market" page on 6 May which you undid. The change was that I added the firm I work for, Jolimont Capital, to the list of direct secondaries firms in the "Secondary market participants" section.

Firstly apologies if I changed that without the appropriate checks (this is the first time I've edited a page on wikipedia).

We added ourselves as we're the leading (and only) direct secondaries investor in Australia with $110 million under management (in the process of closing our third fund). I added us to the list as our FUM is similar to some other managers included, and because we're keen to build an awareness about secondaries in Australia and the fact that there's an active manager in that space.

Anyway just wanted to clarify why we made the change, and try to understand what your criteria are for getting listed.

Whatever your decision, thanks for maintaining the page and keeping people informed about the secondaries categoriy.

Prod

Hey, the correct format for proposing deletion is {{subst:prod|REASON}}. It automatically inserts the date and time so the admins know when the article can be deleted. Thanks. --Closedmouth (talk) 12:53, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Providence Equity logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Providence Equity logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of J.H. Whitney & Company

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article J.H. Whitney & Company, 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? Thingg ^⊕^⊗ 23:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
