User talk:Thumperward/Archive 1
LinuxIt is hard to tell whether the anon on the Linux page is merely a troll, but it would be easier to support your position if you discussed it on the Talk page rather than reverting and putting nasty comments in the edit summary. -- Gnetwerker 01:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC) Capitalization of headingsYou recently capitalized the H in "Band history" in the Pink Floyd page. However, I'd like to point out that the correct Wiki style for headings is to capitalize only the first letter, as shown by Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Headings. Thanks for plurifying (is that a word?) the article though to follow standards for British pages. I'm going to un-capitalize the heading, if you don't mind. Thanks.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC) PlaneScape: Torment linksPlease leave the page alone. Many of those links you thoughtlessly removed had large significance with the fanbase and were very good resources. You should be deleted. You never even played the game, did you?

coderwikiwhy'd you take the link off? i'm a php nut and i'm starting a wiki for it. i think people should be able to find a good place to get info in wiki form. if there is a better place for the link i'm open to suggestion --da404LewZer 06:51, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
UnixHi - you reverted some changes I did to Unix earlier, removing the linked dates, as the dates weren't significant. As the full date (month, year, day) was present, I understand the link was valid - it allows user preferences for dates to work, see [[1]]. If I'd merely found a "2001" year, say, and linked that, it would have been correct to revert it. However, in this case, such dates should be fully linked, so that January 31, 2001 becomes 2001-01-31 or 2001-31-01 or whatever, based on the user's preferences. Hope you agree with this approach. --Oscarthecat

Check this out !
Enjoy! --james // bornhj (talk) 10:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC) I've made a few changes to this article since you placed the advert tag there. I hope I've got rid of the more gushy parts, but would like to hear what else (if anything) you feel needs improvement. -- Avenue 02:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Amorrow's editsChris Cunningham, please explain what you are going to do, again. Did I understand you to say that you were reverting to the version of the article that includes banned user Amorrow's edits? If you did this please revert yourself, ASAP. Look for an email from me with more details about the situation with Amorrow. FloNight talk 20:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Please revert yourselfHello Chris : - ) I'm sorry that we are having miscommunication about the Larry Sanger article. Please read my message on the article talk page and then revert yourself if nobody else has. I strongly encourage you to read WP:BLP and listen to Jimbo's keynote speech at Wikimania. Take care, --FloNight talk 06:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Battlefield EarthI've partly rewritten and significantly expanded Battlefield Earth. I'd be interested to know what you think. -- ChrisO 23:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
At first I looked at the additions you made to the article with increasing pleasure. I met Peter several years ago in his London flat with my son;s sick critter, and only discovered his death when I searched for his phone number yesterday evening. As I read on, I saw that the additions you have made are, in many cases, verbatim from his obituary. I know that you have quoted the references, but you have nowhere quoted permission to use them. This makes me very nervous indeed, because it looks like a total copyvio and risks the article. It may be that WP has a policy that obits may be quoted verbatim, but the usual practice with such matters is to quote limited sections. On this you may be wiser than I, but, in view of my concerns I have reverted much of your work (thus naturally retaining it in the edit history) until such time as we can be certain that your additions are in order. I will be adding back all elements that are not apparent copyvios. Fiddle Faddle 06:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
His controversial viewsNot going to revert your removal of the refs, but a suggestion: If the article, reasonably, states that he had views which may be controversial, I suggest it needs a reference to show what those views are, as well as a ref to show that the views are controversial. My suggestion is to migrate the removed refs earlier in the sentence to where it mentions views at all, and then seek those that show that they were controversial, leaving the "cn" in place. What do you think? Fiddle Faddle 19:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Archive linksThe reason for using the absolute page links in archives is so if a page is moved the archives are still linked on the moved page, rather than becoming redlinks from relative links. It doesn't seem to cause any harm. —Centrx→talk • 00:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
link to cartridgeHello, when you want to link to the article about a cartridge, please do not link to cartridge, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as cartridge (electronics) by writing out cartridge Regards, -- Jeff3000 06:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
RefsHi, please stop changing references, to my knowledge having refs after a stop is a guideline, i've reverted you once already, as one of the main contributors to said article i find having them after a fll stop misleading and messy if you wish to open up conversation please do on its talk page before moving refs around. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC) Fuel cellThats was to hasty, on 09:54, 11 September 2006 i changed the definition of fuel cell trying to include Blue energy and similar into it, consensus on the blue energy talk page states 2 against redefining fuel cell. so i restored the definition back to its original state. Now by reverted it again you are restoring it to its incorrect version. Mion 14:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
MedCab caseHi, I'm going to be the mediator for the Advanced Packaging Tool MedCab case. Could I request that you discontinue the edit war to allow the mediation process to commence. Thanks, Addhoc 12:19, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
$100 laptopNice work cleaning up The Children's Machine article. Looks much better now. —Pengo talk · contribs 11:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC) Linux OS pageThanks for your help, it looks like some people can invent all kind of (apparently innocent) schemes in order to push their POV. I'm getting tired of GNUish trolling around. The sad part is that people think they fight for "freedom", but they don't understand the basic principles of the freedom: letting people do what they want, choose the name they want for their projects, etc. -- AdrianTM 17:22, 27 September 2006 (UTC) |
