User talk:Zundark

This talk page was begun somewhen in November 2001. All older talk has been deleted.

Zundark, you seem to have redirected the pages with titles like "EndlÃfÂ¶sung" to something, but because the titles are in UTF-8 which our software doesn't support, they don't even redirect properly. If you know what they redirect to, let me know and I'll try to make sure they are coded correctly. --LDC

They redirect to Endloesung. The redirects worked when I tried them, but the pages need to be deleted anyway. I only put the redirects in because I hoped it would discourage whoever created these articles from adding content to them. --Zundark, 2001 Nov 30

Thanks for taking out the Amazon links -- how did you do it? JHK

You can see by editing the page. I just put <nowiki> </nowiki> around the ISBN number. --Zundark, 2001 Dec 6

Thanks for redirectiong DoD and Department of Defense. Next time I'll look a little harder for an existing page before creating a stuk. --Ed Poor

I'm sorry I forgot to check if something was already written about the Riemann Zeta function and thanks for redirecting the page. --Georg Muntingh

On Arc of minute you expressed a preference for a new article on Angular measure, though such an article doesn't exist yet. You also asked where the links to the stub were found. I happened to find several of the links. I'd be quite happy to clean up what I found, but I'm PAINFULLY new to the Wikipedia, and I'd be more comfortable if you could point me in the right direction on a few things. --Romaq

I suggested an article on angular measure, because this seemed to make more sense than separate articles on arcseconds, arcminutes, degrees, radians, etc., and we can just create redirects from all of those (except "degree", which has other meanings). You can move the information that is currently at radian, and add information for arcseconds, arcminutes and degrees. That's about all that's needed to start with - it would be better than the present situation at least. --Zundark, 2002 Feb 2

When someone asks for comments like I did for the Beryllium article ("Still would like :Talk comment on layout before I convert the other element articles"), is is polite to respond to :Talk before making significant changes. In this case you probably are right that browsers should recognize the < sub > and < sup > tags as super and sup-scripts and format the font correctly and resize it appropriately. I tested the tags on several different browsers (Konqi, mozilla, IE and NS) and they looked fine. So when the tags disappeared without explanation, my first thought was vandalism. I still would like to know which browser displays the super and sub-scripts correctly. --maveric149

The font tags were not removed without explanation; at least one person had already pointed out to you that they were a bad idea, and I clearly indicated what I was doing in the summaries for the changes. The superscripts now display fine in IE 4.01 and Netscape versions 3.01, 4.07 and 6.01, but are still a bit too small for my taste (but no longer illegible) in Opera 5.11. However, the way they display depends not only on the browser and browser settings but also on system font settings, etc. - which is why it's not a good idea to force your preferred size on the user. --Zundark, 2002 Feb 3

Question. I just created the entry on digital circuits. I had to capitalise it: Digital Circuits, because that was the only way I could get the link from Boolean algebra to work properly. You obviously know somthing I don't, because you got it to work without the unnessasary Capital Letters. Please explain what you did, and I will try and get it right next time. Thanks, user:Perry Bebbington

I didn't do anything special. I've no idea why it didn't work for you. What exactly did you do, and what happened? --Zundark, 2002 Feb 13
