I tend not to be around on evenings (EST) or weekends. It's also not especially uncommon for me to take unexpected wiki-breaks of several days or more, as I become distracted by higher priorities than Wikipedia (and just about everything is a higher priority than Wikipedia).

Past discussions on this Talk page:
I believe that you and
Handicapper have been discussing some
magic words (they look like templates, but they're not) ie {{CURRENTDAY}}
, {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}
and {{CURRENTYEAR}}
. I believe that the intention was to show the last editing date, whilst these always show the date that the page is being viewed. If it is still desired to show the last amendment date, try using {{REVISIONDAY}}
, {{REVISIONMONTH}}
and {{REVISIONYEAR}}
but bear in mind that these will show the date of the last edit of any type: if placed within an infobox, they will not show the last edit to infobox content, but the last edit to any part of the page. --

Hello,
The National Register of Historic Places database is slowly being changed from an older system to a newer system called "NPS Focus." This is causing some confusion since the change is being done step by step. Apparently the older format and the newer format is not as compatible as they first thought.
Regarding your recent changes of Carpenter Schools is in error. They are listed and the infobox info you removed had the correct info. They are part of the "Upriver Residential District." In the older data each building was listed. In the newer database that has not yet been added. See the following "newer" link. http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natregsearchresult.do?fullresult=true&recordid=0
May I suggest you restore your related Wiki NRHP changes pending the conversion and completion of the NRHP database?

I see you also edit DABs, so was hoping we could discuss to come to an agreement on the editing of a simple DAB page like Ubuntu, as consistency in DAB is very important IMHO, and I wouldn't like to think that you go around fixing entries to a different level than me, see what I mean? Widefox ( talk) 09:37, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
I probably have added the red link initally to the DAB page to make things easier. I don't see any reason why my second edit was rejected; red links are specific tools to alert editors that a concept is potentially notable enough to warrant creation of an article. I was going to leave it like that for a short time, and if an article wasn't created by then, either by me or another editor, I'd put a reference "Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks" in the FMCSA article. (I didn't do that initially because no other programs would be mentioned, and it would look awkward for only that one to be there.) As for doing the latter, if I'm reading WP:DAB and MOS:DAB correctly, a term listed on a DAB page does not necessarily have to have a dedicated article of its own, only some kind of specific mention somewhere in any article, including those with significantly different titles.

Hello, I saw the discussion about glass breaking in the Jewish wedding article, I did as you request and sticked in a "Breaking of glass" heading (check it it here : glass-breaking ceremony) and wrote a couple sentences explaining to you goyim why the hell this is done :-D. Apparently some editor has taken the whole work of editing the Jewish articles for himself, so all the information about that ceremony was scattered in other articles, which I moved to Jewish wedding. I hope you can find all the information you need to know now, and let's hope that will be not removed from there again (seems that some editor removed in the past the whole Glass breaking section as you can see in the talk page.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Catherine Flon on banknote.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 17:45, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I amended the templates per your concerns. It's a strange thing for you to get all worked up about though... There's no reason someone blocked indefinitely should get to keep their userpage and it's correct to place indefblock notices on userpages. Placing them on talk pages is incorrect, because that template places the page in the "temporary userpages" category. Pages in that category are periodically deleted and talk pages are almost never supposed to be deleted. Anyway, I changed the puppeteer notice to "suspected" (which is true). <>Multi‑Xfer<> ( talk) 18:09, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Antonia (name), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Antonia. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot ( talk) 14:34, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, the last part of the move was finished. Thanks for the reminder. Vegaswikian ( talk) 05:11, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
I moved the page to a list title as there was clearly agreement that this was necessary. The open-ended title reflects the fact that the list currently needs expansion to cover subsequent swimmers (I meant to add a list expansion tag to the page, but there was a power cut while I was searching for the correct template to use so it never got added). As far as I can see, there was no need for the move to be formally advertised as no-one was disputing it and the target was unused.
If you disagree, feel free to: (1) move it again to the title of your choice; (2) merge it into English Channel; or (3) merge the over-detailed swimming section in English Channel into it (which would be my preferred option); or (4) if you still feel it needs deleting, take it to AfD. Regards, Espresso Addict ( talk) 13:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I'll be posting the AFD imminently. I don't even care about the move, but your edit summaries clearly implied that it was the result of the discussion, which it was not. If you're going to go around closing RMs, please familiarize yourself with WP:Requested moves/Closing instructions, particularly the bits about Non-Admin Closures and about how to close the actual discussion, which you didn't (meaning it's still being "advertised").

I appreciate your point about brevity of descriptions on dab pages. Respectfully, I think you may have extrapolated from a single case a bit much and at the expense of the bigger picture. While I did add description to some entries, and some might have edited otherwise, I certainly think there's a case to be made that a minimal description can actually make it easier to skim because the uniformity is easier to visually parse, and that such is not necessarily a basis for criticizing readability. I would certainly hold that orange is shorter and better overall as a result of the sum of this editor's contributions, and do take something of an exception to having the length of descriptions singled out for comment about editing. I must say further that I find it ironic to be criticized for wordiness given that in the body of my experience with dab pages, beyond this single case, I have generally found it appropriate to shorten descriptions rather than lengthen them. In any case, I appreciate the need for communication that presumably inspired your comment, but also the importance of an atmosphere encouraging useful contribution to WP overall, and would suggest perhaps a more encompassing evaluation of others' edits.

I'm actually wondering if Twins should redirect to the Minnesota Twins, with a hat note to the DAB. Does that make any sense? If so, I guess I'd just post a note on the Twin and Minnesota Twins pages noting discussion at [ [4]]? I'm not really up on redirects and DAB, so rather than do the equivalent of making a DAB entry with 14 blue links, I thought I'd ask someone who has been around the block a few times on these issues. 018 ( talk) 20:49, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Mere topics aren't linked. Links on Wikipedia are article links. And they are color coded by type. Existing articles, and planned articles. If they weren't some sort of article, they wouldn't be linked at all - there would be no need for a link, because there would be no destination. By the way, there shouldn't be too many redlinks on a page. Pages with large numbers of redlinks are called creation guides. I'd say more than 20 is an excessive number of links. They should probably be moved to the talk page. The Transhumanist 10:42, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

In response to what you wrote on the "Inception" page:
I understand that this is not a dictionary, and I'm not asking for a full page based on the word. However think about it, if all it takes is one 8 word sentence that may help people better understand something, don't you think its worth it? Not only that you didn't answer my question, which was why it was removed. You seem to have an idea why it was moved, but do you know for a fact that it was removed because wikipedia is "Not a dictionary"? One more thing, if your going to use "Wikipedia is not a dictionary" as an argument, then you might want to tell someone that these pages need editing as well: Pirate (disambiguation) and Crime (disambiguation) and many others.

...I'd like to present you with the sword of good faith, a long forgotten and obscure tradition that does not fit into the standard Wikipedia praise economy.
It seems fitting to me because I have been impressed by your approach to Wikipedia, and your desire to make an article as good and as helpful to readers as it can be, beyond process wonkery. Concerning Harry Potter, I am not a subject expert, but you never said to me "you don't know what you are talking about" (which would not have been a chivalrous remark!). I review carefully, but am fallible, and you raised my shortcomings with tact (another knightly quality). Finally, you are willing to revise your position in the light of evidence, yet also not walk away or give up. In short, you have shown in short measure all the qualities of a knightly Wikipedian.
If you consider the knightly trappings to be as much nonsense as barnstars, please just take this message as appreciation for your contributions. Otherwise, in this somewhat ironic take on the praise economy, arise Sir Propaniath :) Geometry guy 22:13, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

I propose to rename it into Department of Musicology (Palacký University, Faculty of Philosophy), putting it into the same line with Centre for Clinical Legal Education (Palacký University, Faculty of Law). I am not sure whether the latter is the best way to name an article, if you have any better idea, please change both the Musicology department and the Clinical Centre.
