Greetings! If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:
I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing! --Merovingian 06:23, 3 December 2005 (UTC) Sony Computer EntertainmentIt's OK, I agree but let's remove PSX "losses" because isn't a loss and call of these is POV. --Brazil4Linux 19:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC) The list of Super Bowl Champions List and about it!I'm sorry! I didn't know that what I was doing was vandalism. Thanks for telling me about! I'll leave that caption of the Green Bay Packers helmet and their victory in the first two Super Bowls alone from now on! Thanks! Editing Wikipedia Articles will become even more fun through time! Peace! Alakazam 17:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC) TuckerI guess my reactionary rv came from traditional journalism ... but I'm not wedded to it. The article needs a clean up, butI'm not theone to do so. Plus, I feel that in the past year TM has moved from humorous to bitter and ... not funny. Just my opinion. Cheers Thanks for joining! Our current focus is Apple Computer. Our former focus and current FAC is Apple Macintosh; you can vote here. It looks like you have already found Template:user WikiProject Macintosh. We’re all honored that you want to join our WikiProject. --HereToHelp (talk) 13:28, 18 December 2005 (UTC) New TemplateThought you might like these new templates:
Enjoy! --t-bte288-c 18:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC) My storyHello Ryan, I'm working on a Boston Globe story about wikipedia and I'm interested in finding and meeting some local enthusiasts. You can email me at mehegan@globe.com or phone at 617 929-3263. David Mehegan Boston Globe
I'm requesting your opnion about this dispute. Lot of POV-Pushing, the article is currently blocked. --GroundZero 23:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC) The word "persuaded"Good day! I was reading your comment regarding the use of the word "persuaded" regarding Kutaragi. In your opinion, what word would better be suited for the article? Honestly, I don't see a more fitting way of putting the term. His original research regarding Nintendo was widely opposed within the company. Indeed, it took a great deal of persuasion on his part (and debate) in order for him to finally secure the way for the research. It seems to me that stating that he "persuaded" a reluctant Sony management into funding his projects would be a nonobjective way of putting it. Perhaps "convinced" might be more appropriate?

Re: B.C. FormattingI'm using IE 6, on an 800x600 Windows 2K. The fields containing ACC and BC-related links were on top of each other, one obscuring the other. I fixed it by merely pressing return a couple times in my edit, and it was fixed. The second time, the "categories" field had obscured one of the aforementioned fields, and a couple returns fixed that as well. It looks fine now, but it was a train wreck a little while ago. --DodgerOfZion 08:07, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Re: Re: B.C. formattingMea Culpa on the sigs. I'm still new to the Wiki thing, and it'll take some getting used to. I retro-ed my sig on the previous input. I just tried it in Firefox, and I guess it was just a fluke, for the old pages turned up normal. There's enough wrong with this computer without something in IE being flawed. I called it like I saw it, and I saw things obscuring one another, so I fixed it. --DodgerOfZion 08:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Note to Paul about Apple StockDear Paul, I did that because of what happened when I added a few words about the stock's history into the article on Apple Computer, since I thought it was about the company, and it did belong in the article. I also wanted to talk about Apple's marketing idea of selling the Macintosh to students and faculty at universities before the Macintosh had a name; I thought it would be interesting and an indication of Apple's marketing style at that time, 1983. But, a Wikipedia senior editor kept taking out my additions, no matter what I wrote. So I tried another route. But that senior editor sent me strange, angry, and rude messages, so I stopped contributing. He told me I was annoying people by contributing to the article, so I stopped. DeveloperFrom1983 03:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC) DeveloperFrom1983 03:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC) Hello, Did you create the article for Buckley Country Day School? While the article is good I think it can some expansion, plus I feel that it overuses superlatives, such as in "state-of-the-art Hagedorn Library Learning Center contains well over 16,000 volumes". Let me know if you'd like to continue improving it. Cazador 04:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
NeighborhoodsGood idea linking to the neighborhood list on the Template, I kept the word not as a link for a while, but it needed to be blue to look nice. I'll do it to the others to. I hope people will fill in more neighborhoods so they can be added to the list. I still have to do the Bronx. Have you done any for Boston? The templates make navagition so much easier, but some of them are poorly designed, and not pleasing to the eye. Each state template is in a different format, what a mess. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:19, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello:Hi I'm a new Wikipedian from Natick, Mass... just popped in to say hello to my Wiki neighbor:"
I was recently married to my lovely wife; We have lived together for several years already...
I am what I am I'm strongly opinionated about disabled peoples' rights and jobs for American citizens who have trouble finding minimum wage jobs in my state today and support Universal health care, I would be dead if I did not have it. I am an idiot about Internet social skills. I hope that the Immigration Reform bill will protect disabled citizens who wish to work like myself first before considering allowing new people to come here. I was searching for an internet forum to be my outlet to express my needs, but found that Wikipedia is not best suited for that. I'm brushing up on Wikipedia's rules of conduct, and slowly starting to begin contributing again. Current book and CD I own hundreds of rare books
ISBNsOkay, I'm not trying to be a jerk here, and We (yes, the great and all knowing "We") appreciate the work on the Tucker Max entry. However, by usin' this here fancy Interweb thingy, you can find any ISBN you want here. Thanks again. User:ljheidel 06:09, 30 May 06 (UTC) Netflix and "Hacking Netflix" linkI notice you've made some contribs to the Netflix article in the past. Would you mind popping by if you have a chance and contributing any thoughts you might have on the ongoing "link to Hacking Netflix.com" discussion on the Talk page? There is a single member (Efreeti) who is dead set against this, and I'm hoping to get some more editors involved to try and enlarge the size of the consensus and put this to rest one way or the other. Thanks, David Oberst 15:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC) (a fellow Mac and Safari user). Hey, I'm requesting your opnion about this vote for deletion. Seems like the initial motive for deleting it was a misguided notion of "self-styled" boosterism. Now it looks like the article will be merged with Boston College, which in my opinion is already too long. Anyway, have a look and leave your vote/comments. -136.167.93.113 02:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Howdy from the Heights...... ok not really the Heights, but Newton campus. Anyway, it seems like there are a few other lurking BC Wikipedians here, so I thought I'd make a BC user template ... yes I'm procrastining ... Check it out: Template:User bc and let me know what you think. ( Template:User BC (captialized) is already being used for those darn British Columbians) Droitet 22:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC) HowdyLooks like we are trampling over eachother. Take a look at my edits and see if you want to incorporated them. I'll have a look tomorrow. I should hit the sheets anyways ... Droitet 08:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
DatesCould you direct me to where it says that all full dates should be linked? I'd just like to see the reasoning behind it, since I personally see none. Dan 06:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I've been there and I still can't find where it says it has to be done that way. I'm not sure what it means by "so users who have set special formatting for their dates can see the correct formatting." That doesn't make much sense to me. Dan 06:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Golden eagle on Linden LaneHi there. I answered your question on the Boston College talk page, but I figured I'd post it here too in case you don't regularly watch the page.
Alumni, etc.Hey- I feel like there're a lot more notable alumni at Buckley. I don't know if you have any of the recent mailing pamphlets, but those usually give updates. I think they now have them online, too, but I don't have the password. As far as pop culture, I'm sure there're at least a few more connections that we don't know. Maybe ask around at the school, if you really feel like digging; although e-mail is another good tool for that. The article can probably be expanded to include curriculum, mission statement, and much more, it just depends on how much work is put into it. I'm willing to lay out an expansion plan, possibly based on the basic outline of other school articles such as Brown or Oxford. So, let me know what you're thinking, oh, and good luck in first your year at college, -Caz Twaker botThe bot is extremely helpfull in many many cases, but it just is not bullet proof.

Current mac project collaborationThe current WP:MAC collaboration is Apple II family. Please devote some time to improve this article to featured status. — Wackymacs 13:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC) Midnight in The Garden of Good and EvilHey, I saw you asked a question re: this book and movie - who is Uga? Uga was a dog of one of the characters. Apparently, Uga stands for University of Georgia, and I think he's a pit bull and the mascot of the team. Whoever added it - well, it wasn't vandalism, but I wouldn't have listed Uga as a "star", either! Heh. NickBurns 02:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC) The warning still appears in my browser after having JavaScript turned off. I tested it before I started changing the templates. If you look at the code on the template page, you'll see this is accomplished with the {{LCFIRST:{{PAGENAME}}}} part, and hence does not need the additional parameter. --Kamasutra 20:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
User:LibearyGayI only came across LibearyGay (talk · contribs) because they had edited Alhambra, California, which is on my watchlist. My first impression is that they are probably an experienced Wikipedia editor. It could be a sockpuppet account, or it could be someone who had been anonymously editing using IPs that has recently registered a user account. They do seem to have focused mostly on articles related to barely notable gay males. I only looked at a couple of the acticles. I didn't see any that met speedy deletion criteria, but IMHO the individuals were so borderline notable (based upon the Wikipedia articles) that I might have been tempted to {{prod}} them myself if I'd run across them. If you disagree with any of their edits, you can add {{hangon}} to the speedy deletion nominations, and delete any {{prod}} templates that have been added to articles. LibearyGay may, however, escalate to nominating the articles at articles for deletion. If you want some help and some allies, I'd suggest contacting the WikiProject LGBT studies/Notice board.

Looking for members to help out with Project BostonI noticed you are from Boston. I am looking for people to join Project Boston in order to clean up and expand wikipedia articles directly reletated to Boston. If you feel like helping out please join up. Markco1 23:44, 13 January 2007 (UTC) Image:SinatamaddonPR.jpgThanks for uploading Image:SinatamaddonPR.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. WJBscribe 00:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC) Amie StreetGreetings. I for one would have no reservations now if you re-instated Amie Street to List of social networking websites, as I have now been convinced of it's social network features. I have asked for a more complete consensus to be shown at Talk:List of social networking websites. Refsworldlee(chew-fat) 21:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Super Bowl MVP ReferencesI've added a number of references to this article. Could you look over it and let me know if you think there are still some statements that require references? I didn't reference a lot of the trivia minutae (21 quarterbacks, 7 running backs, etc...) because according to the Attribution policy, logical deductions based on attributed data doesn't count as original research.

Age categoryHello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:
If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC) Orphaned fair use image (Image:Amiestreet.gif)Thanks for uploading Image:Amiestreet.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy). 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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — Rebelguys2 talk 04:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC) Survey InvitationHi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia. To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 02:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)talk to me UW SystemPlease stop moving pictures around in the article. They are placed on the top to avoid unnecessary blank spaces. Removing reference is vandalism. The dates you wikified are unnecessary. They are totally unrelated with the contents of the article. Miaers 21:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
That is not true. You should try to avoid unnecessary wikify according to MOS. Those photos are quite fine. Please don't move around again. Miaers 21:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Please read Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context. Nobody believe your story. If it does not work, it doesn't work either way. Miaers 21:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
No bother. It works fine on Macs here. I think it your own computer problem. The current arrangement is a gallary itself. Miaers 22:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
The 3RR is not appliable to problematic images. The previous reference has information about how to add references. It is much better than yours. Anyway, I'll have you reported for an incident. Miaers 22:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I have had you reported. Please keep this discussion on your talk page. Miaers 22:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
This is to let you know I'am disgusted by your posting of this discussion onto the UW System talk page. This discussion happened here and there is no need to make a duplicate. You also violated 3RR. You are lucky I didn't report you at that time.

I've made a comment, but I have no doubt that any admin will see that its not a violation at all.

See my comments after yours in Talk:iTunes it is all explained there but he is continually by stealth reverting the fact that only the 64-bit versions of XP and Vista are "not yet officially supported". You will see my quote indicating otherwise for the 32-bit version of Vista from his own Reference 2. References 3 and 4 he recently added and performed the factually erroneous revert once again. (I am not doing likewise - instead I am asking you!?) I have no axe to grind just want to see the facts set straight! Can you please help and set him straight and then the problems and my complaint and both our annoyances - him - will go away. Many Thanks in advance Paul.

Goobuntu LogoIs the Goobuntu logo you uploaded real?
Probably even six months ago I would have contested the deletion of Remember When, but I don't think I'll bother: it's a notable project in the UK, and certainly in Scotland, but there's no way it would be considered notable by Americans, and I have learned the hard way that Wikipedia is an American encyclopedia.

Matrixism Deletion Reviewthere is yet another deletion review for the article on Matrixism going on at WP:DRV#Matrixism. Thought you might want to stop by to register your opinion. Thanks. D166ER 03:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:RonjohnsonPR.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 21:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC) Hello, Psantora. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Camino icon.png) was found at the following location: User:Psantora. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 08:01, 15 May 2007 (UTC) Date formatsFrom Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#ISO date formats: "ISO 8601 dates, for example 1958-02-17, are unambiguous. However, they are not common in English prose, and are therefore unfamiliar to many readers. Accordingly, they should generally not be used in normal prose. This applies even if they are in a link: although the software will convert such dates according to users' date preferences (for example, [[1958-02-17]] → February 17, 1958), new users and unregistered users do not have any date preferences set, and will therefore see the unconverted ISO 8601 date." Further, from Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jguk, which is mentioned in both the general WP:MOS page and WP:MOSDATE, "When either of two styles are acceptable it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change." I've tested my own views in three different browsers with my own date preferences turned off, set to the ISO standard, and set to my personal preference, and they all work fine. It may therefore be an issue with your own machine, or your own preferences. Regards, --DeLarge 16:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
FAR notificationsIt doesn't appear that you have notified parties of your FAR nominations; pls see instructions at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Speaker of the British House of Commons. Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:06, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Camino icon.png Image:Camino icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC) Hello. Logos, even if they are part of an overall "free" image, retain their copyright restrictions. As such, you cannot claim that a logo is under any kind of creative commons licence just because a photo of it is under a creative commons licence. I added a {{logo}} template to the picture as it is the only tag that is appropriate, you'll need to complete the fair use rationale for it.

I'm not seeing a whole lot of justification for that. Thanks - Alison ☺ 23:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry if it was unclear, but I specifically stated "merge and redirect" in the request. I wasn't really sure of the best way to go about doing this and stated as much in my request as well. I am defensive because I feel like I'm getting the 3rd degree and being watched/wikistalked for doing exactly what I stated I would do in the request. I'm sorry if this is coming across as hostile, I'm just not used my every action being questioned 2 seconds after I do it while I'm in the middle of trying to finish the task... I was simply trying to implement/expedite Rossami's request from the previous deletion review. Now, what question are you talking about ("Nor did you answer my question there")? PaulC/T+ 00:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Also, regarding "Indeed, but the page was a redirect before you moved it back." It was? I could have sworn NFL on Christmas Day was a redlink until I moved page there. It was a redlink when I made the original request and I didn't see anyone add the redirect afterwards... The fact that it was an empty page is what prompted me to find the AfD and deletion review in the first place... I noticed a note about it on the NFL template talk page... PaulC/T+ 00:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Done. Sorry for the confusion then. I'm not trying to skirt any rules, this just seemed like the most efficient way to apply what Rossami proposed, which made a lot of sense to me.. PaulC/T+ 00:58, 10 August 2007 (UTC) I do like the babel box. :) I will add more to it later. Thanks for fixing stuff :) and the welcome. :) Almw113 02:16, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

It's a rather daunting task, but hopefully there will be sections for each generation of iPod (if it's necessary). I've added a request to merge both the iPod (5G) and iPod photo articles into the iPod classic. An unrelated sidenote, I see you use a dvorak layout! Nice to know I'm not the only crazy one :) -- MacAddct1984 00:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC) Per WikiRage.com, the article reddit received heavy editing today by unregistered users and may benefit from a good review. Per Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee (Talk) 06:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC) Template:Timeline of iPod modelsI think it's a bad idea to wikilink every word in a reference in this template. While this is a wiki, I seem to reall there being a manual-of-style page somewhere about avoiding excessive linking as it impedes readability. I think it makes sense to wikilink words in a reference if they are relevant to the reference itself and not already linked elsewhere in the article. So it makes sense to link MacTracker so people can learn what it is, but Apple, Inc has earlier and more relevant links higher up the page, and database is merely a label and not intrinsic to the source. —dgiestc 22:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Template:MySpaceFor the time being, I have reverted your edit to the page in question. After having done so, I checked other pages, and found them to be in tact, unchanged, not '"at" → "on"'-edited. On that note, I'd like to ask you why you changed "at" to "on". I hope to hear from you soon.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chris B • talk 21:44, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Replaceable fair use Image:TonyfadellPR.jpgThanks for uploading Image:TonyfadellPR.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

The provided reference states wta by district and state-wide. If the situation has changed, the reference is unclear about that resulting in a solely state-wide wta contest. Can you find a different source which states clearly that FL is a wta state-wide contest without it also mentioning that it is a district-wide wta contest? —XSG 18:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

comment invitedAs an occasional past editor at Template:United States presidential election, 2008, Hi there, it looks like by accident this edit deleted all the updated delegate totals. I reverted the edit (and foxed the Edwards delegates. Maybe you can go back and try whatever it was you were trying to do again, without deleting the delegate totals this time. Oh, and the SC delegates are listed on the CNN scorecard.--Margareta (talk) 04:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primariesI was surprised by your recent edits to Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries#Overview of results changing the 'Estimated superdelegates' and 'Estimated pledged delegates' rows to calculated totals rather than data from the sources specified in those rows. Why are sources listed for those rows if they're simply calculated values? If those rows should in fact be calculated totals, then that must mean that the "Green Papers" web site is the defacto source for delegate data for this article. Who decided on this source and why? I appreciate your helping me sort this out as it affects a related article I've been working on with several other editors Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2008. --Bryan H Bell (talk) 11:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It's been nice working with you on Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries. I am puzzled by a row you added to the Washington primaries table. There was no uncommitted option on the Washington primary ballot (though there was a blank for "write-in"), but the source for the table's results doesn't show uncommitted numbers anywhere that I can see. Where did you get those numbers from? Thanks. --Bryan H Bell (talk) 06:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Vote to overturn previous consensus on rowsThanks for your past comments and contributions at Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Right now there is a significant vote taking place at Talk:Results of the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries#Vote to overturn previous consensus on rows about whether or not to overturn a previous consensus that each row in the Overview of results table should represent individual nominating events. The vote ends at the close of March 19, 2008 (UTC). The vote contains the negative-option that if there is a tie or fewer than 4 total signatures the previous consensus will prevail. I invite you to visit the talk page and submit your vote on the matter. Thanks! --Bryan H Bell (talk) 01:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I assume you mean you want to report the bug to the Firefox developers? I have thinking of doing that for some time too. So I took a quick look over at bugzilla.mozilla.org and searched for "nowrap", it turned up at least two bug reports that clearly is the exact same bug: And there are several other "nowrap" bug reports that seem related. I am going to get myself an account over there so I can write comments at those bug reports telling them they are both the same bug. And also link back here to Wikipedia:Line break handling and it's talk page. But even if the next version of Firefox is fixed we still have to handle the bug for the next two years or so. And we have the problems with wrapping in several Internet Explorer versions which means we need to use {{nowrap begin}} etc in many places anyway. By the way, I will copy parts of this discussion to Wikipedia talk:Line break handling#Firefox bug. --David Göthberg (talk) 15:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
