I noticed the pages you have been creating, which were tagged as speedy deletion articles providing little or no context. However, I ended up changing them to redirects, pages that automatically redirect the user to the article for which the redirect page provides an alternate name, a spelling correction, etc. Cheers, Kakofonous ( talk) 02:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you sir!-- S. McIntire Allen ( talk) 09:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
The right format for a Redirect is #REDIRECT [[target]]. I've corrected the one you just entered for Double dated. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 11:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

September 11, 2001 attacks is not the page to rename to "9/11 alternate theories". I have removed your comment on that talk page. Okiefromokla questions? 04:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey there, you need to add a "Requested Move" section to Talk:9/11 conspiracy theories. Ice Cold Beer ( talk) 06:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for the tremendous work you did on the article Dual dating. I took the liberty of nominating the article for the "Did you know?" section of the main page, which lists the best recent articles, and I'm glad to say it was accepted on 4 February 2008. It should stay on the main page for a few hours and is also listed at Wikipedia:Recent additions. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. Thanks again! Pruneau talk 09:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

{{ helpme}} I have two questions about internal links.
1) I want to link the word "Seal" to "Seal (device)". Is there anyway to hide the "(device)" in the link?
2) I want to link to a listing in Japanese Wikipedia. Is that possible?
Thanks for all your help.
Mak
Thanks for that. However, for the Japanese link, is it possible to have it link to the English words? For instance: [[ja:役所|local administrative bureau]] -- Mak Allen ( talk) 05:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
this has been cut and pasted to the Japanese alias discussion page.-- Mak Allen ( talk) 03:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, I see another user has rather severely edited the page - and I expect you won't fully approve of their edits! But don't panic. You can always 'undo' what they did, if you think it's wrong.
However, it might be best to go into the history, get the version of the article before they edit, and copy it into your user space.
User space is your own personal area. If you go to 'User:Mcintireallen/anything' you'll create a new page in your user space called 'anything'. If you then copy the old article and pase it in there, you can play around with it as much as you like, until you get it into better shape.
Other people are very unlikely to mess with it.
Then you can put it back when you think it's acceptable enough.
OK, to answer your comments from above (some of which aren't relevent to the 'current' page because of parts edited out now, but still...)
Re. alias alias alias in the HEAD - yes, your edit was better. But perhaps;
Could be;
(picky, I know)
Re. Gaijin cards - there really really should be an article! It's such an important thing, and pretty damn confusing for new people to japan! Maybe I will write one...I'll add it to my ever-expanding 'to-do' list!
Re. links - kanji wasn't wikilinked.
Re. hanku - ah, yes, I didn't spot the link to seal, that's fine. Incidentally, in my own experience, hanku with katakana foreign names are very common in Tokyo.
Re. ARC - you defintely don't have to be in Japan for 3 months. I know from personal experience. Some phone companies require an AFC to get a mobile (even pre-pay), which is why my friends discovered the fact. If you're in Japan for 3 months, you *must* get an AFC. But you can get one, even if you're only there for a few weeks. And it's a damn good idea, 'coz then you don't have to carry your passport around. Obv you'd need to dig up a citation, but I personally know it's true. Unfortunately, I don't think you can cite me :-/
OK - that's it for now. You'd better not give up on it, after all that typing I've done :-) Don't worry about those edits. Just undo them if you like. But if they get put back again, DON'T undo them a second time - discuss it in the articles talk page. otherwise you'll get into an edit-war.
OK - good luck etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chzz ( talk • contribs) 12:04, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mcintireallen, I noticed you have two peer review requests in at WP:PR, which were entered on the same day. There is a new policy on limits for peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review/Request removal policy, which is summarized on the PR page. I am not going to remove either of the two requests made on the same day, but if this happens again, they will be removed in the future. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Please see my recent comment at User_talk:Chzz#All - I'm pretty sure it still applies as I write. No need for a response. Cheers. Nortonius ( talk) 09:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I have edited that Japanese alias article, split the 'how-to' stuff into a non-WP article, and put the Alien registration card info into a separate WP article. I have applied for a peer review. If you would like to contribute to either article, please do so. If you need to discuss the article, pleased do it on the article discussion page, and not my talk page. Thanks.-- Mak Allen ( talk) 02:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

1) Every time I try to edit a page, I have to first type a character before I can edit anything.
2) Also, I am unable to start any edits in an entirely empty edit box. I am using a Firefox browser on OSX.
3) Also, I never receive email notification for pages on my watchlist, although I have enabled that function.Thanks.-- Mak Allen ( talk) 06:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Your addition to Nozawaonsen, Nagano has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. -- SineBot ( talk) 01:26, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Steve, I noticed you had several categories listed on your user page describing yourself, but that was resulting in your user page in appearing in topical categories such as {{ International law}} with encyclopedic articles. I replaced those with Wikipedian-specific categories, where users categorize themselves by profession, location, etc. I tried to to reflect as accurately as possible what you seemed to be trying to convey, but please accept my apologies if I erred in any way. -- BDD ( talk) 05:47, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert March, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page University of New England ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
