An article that you've edited before (Vasco da Gama) is nominated for Article Improvement Drive. If you want go there and vote. Thanks. Gameiro 03:01, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
I appreciate the work you did to create the 2004 electoral map, but there's an error in it. We need to add a "3" pointing to Delaware. Kerry/Edwards received 252 electoral votes, but if you add up the blue-state numbers on the map, you'll see they total only 249. Also, there are only 50 numbers, but there should be 51, for the 50 states plus the District of Columbia. The "3" that's pointing to the location of DC, on the Virginia-Maryland border, belongs there, but another "3" has to be crammed in for little Delaware. I have no idea how to edit images. Would you make the change? Thanks for any help you can give. JamesMLane 07:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm having some issues on John Vanbrugh. People keep removing the infobox! I think it's quite useful as it does take some hunting to find information about birth places, birth dates and death dates/places in many of the articles. Could you comment on the talk page? - Ta bu shi da yu 02:53, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Featured article status has attracted css editors to the template. Please do not change for a few days. I reverted to the last stable version.
Suggestion: Make a new template (e.g. Bridge3B) and copy the contents. Include the template on your user page, copying the calling info from the article. You may new view the effects of template changes in your own user page without effecting the article. When all is coorect you may elect to reference this in one live article for testing purposes. Only when all is satisfactory should the master template be changed. Please note: templates are potentially used widely and a change can affect many articles. I do have some technical questions regarding proper CSS use and your assistance will be welcome. Right now I have to keep vandals at bay. Best wishes, Leonard G. 02:17, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
You tagged Lyn Walsh for NPOV consideration in September of 2004. There's nothing on the talk page of the article. If you still feel it needs NPOV could you leave a comment on what direction it needs to move. (It's one of the last cleanup pages from September 2004. I'm not expert in British politics, but I did wikilink it. I'm not sure the heavy use of abbreviations is appropriate. Not much work has been done on it in the last year.)

Hi. Pixelquelle images aren't PD and are under a pretty restrictive (and unusable) license. Hence:
An image or media file you uploaded, Image:Olympic Stadium Berlin.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. |
Can I nominate Image:SnowflakeKenLibbrecht.jpg for a featured picture? --HappyCamper 19:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
I had to see what it was when I seen it posted to an anon's page. Way better looking than {{sharedip}} ;) You should add the IP range on the talk page, so other users don't have to look them up. Nice looking though, hope it lasts, granted it's been around for a year so far. ∞Who?¿? 14:30, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Please stop unilaterally changing individual templates on the royal pages that (a) are part of a large series, (b) all designed to have the one design, and (c) have a design produced on the basis of a look agreed upon in a long discussion running in one case running to weeks involving multiple users. You have a history of doing this and it is grossly disrespectful to everyone else to decide that can unilaterally dump everyone else's communal work and replace it with a version that you alone prefer purely because you want to do it your way.

Hi Ed, I've nominated Arsenal F.C. as a featured article candidate. I'd welcome any comments you might want to make on the nomination page, if you have the time to look it over. Thanks. Qwghlm 00:21, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
An anonymous user keeps adding unsubstantiated clams claims about Heldal-Lund, and restores when I revert. I don't want to break 3RR so as an interested editor I hope you'll keep an eye on this article - thanks! – ciphergoth 12:09, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Although the nomination tanked anyway, I would like to note that the Image:YellowHardHat.jpg was appropriately licensed. The author allowed use for "personal or commercial works," and clarified via e-mail that Wikipedia's use of it was appropriate under the terms of his license. (This was not a permission of use, but a clarification that possible commercial use by Wikipedia was OK)
Would it help if I asked him to release it under the GFDL? --Anetode 13:36, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Just curious, you said this is AP from Library of Congress? Is it a work of the Library of Cognress, meaning, are they the providers now making it public domain? They may have bought the copyright as it is now national heritage. If you know that'd be great. gren グレン 13:07, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
The replacement you did of this code makes the placement color and padding of templates harder to edit and it actually moved the box, messing up the entire page layout of WP:FAC. I hope you don't mind, but I find it being editable by everyone more important than the code being short. Or is there another reason or discussion I don't know about? - Mgm|(talk) 21:23, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi, doing speedy deletions is a great way of easing wikistress, but be careful! This Spaghetti house siege article was a resonable capitalisation redirect with an obvious spelling error, which should not have been speedied. Regards. Rich Farmbrough 18:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for clearing out un-needed lines of code in all of the Common Law templates! I'd appreciate if you could also have a glance at Template:Family law and Template:BusinessLaw. Cheers! BD2412 T 23:55, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
You substituted | for | in Template:USpresidents. This actually solved a problem I've been working on in a template that Template:USpresidents uses, namely Template:SuccessorSeries. Thank you for your (possibly inadvertent) help! For more, see Template talk:SuccessorSeries. --Mark Adler (Markles - talk) 19:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Your work on Template:S-start uses <includeonly> and <noinclude> tags. Can you direct me to a Wikipedia article explaining these and similar html tags as used in Wikipedia? Thanks! --Mark Adler (Markles) 19:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Just thought I'd prod you if you weren't away, that Image:Docklands Light Railway.svg needs updating as from yesterday. Ta, Morwen - Talk 22:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Just curious about why Template:SI electricity units was deleted. The comments there give no reason. Last time I looked, this template was used in numerous WP physics entries. What gives?--Wjbeaty 20:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
I was unaware of this, and I see no entry in the protection log, and I recall no message warning me that it was protected. – FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 18:22, Jan. 4, 2006
One of my lesser known pet peeves is related to this revert you did. Specifically, that the ":" (colon symbol) at the start of the line translates into the HTML element <DD>, which makes it a "Definition description". It's supposed to be paired with <DT> (Definition term) and create a definition list. This is why use of it only to indent is not a good practice, and why I used the CSS class="notice" to perform that. Using the CSS class also allows readers to hide or modify how those lines work (turn it bright yellow, if they wanted). Of course, we do use : all the time as a shortcut on talk pages, but we should avoid it where we can on articles, and a template should avoid it completely since it's "hands-off". Editors don't need to type the text out, and readers won't notice any difference. A good example is Template:Disambig which uses a simple CSS class in a similar way, which then produces indent and the double-line effect. Please, use the CSS class, and adjust to your personal liking in your own style sheet. – Netoholic @ 04:10, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
<dt>
tags are not required in a definition list (from w3c: <!ELEMENT DL - - (DT|DD)+ – definition list -->
). ed g2s • talk 17:07, 10 January 2006 (UTC)I really don't think it's any disturbance. Most times, people will manually insert extra line breaks, such as before {(disambig}}. We only need to define a reasonable minimum margin/padding. – Netoholic @ 18:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
What is up with that.... we're here discussing what to do, and instead you run thru and remove the notice class from all those templates? What the hell is with that? What is the point of having a class if we don't use it consistently? – Netoholic @ 22:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing up Template:otheruses and Template:dablink. Would you also be able to get rid on the padding on Template:Main and Template:See? Thanks. --Khoikhoi 00:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Please do us the courtesy of discussing changes to the football squad templates, either at Template talk:Football squad player or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football before implementing them. A lot of discussion went into their creation and it's unfair to drastically and arbitrarily change it without doing so. I've reverted your edits, perhaps we can talk over your proposed changes there.

This better? David Arthur 19:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
I rather liked the LU station lists with the coloured blocks - they looked substantially neater that way than just a bare list of links. While they needed a bit of tidying up to handle branches more neatly, your rather heavy-handed reversion of the whole lot without so much as a note on, say, the LU talk page seems rather discourteous to me. --Mpk 20:09, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
