About my page Wikipedians/The Cunctator: I made the necessary redirects.

Hi Stephen! about your evil impulse (mwahahahaha...), Axel mentioned that the other day. i went to look and see if there was anything worth transferring, and found a few things, but since they're all pretty much evidence that I've actually been politer in the past when trying to teach Helga about what history and encyclopedias are about, I don't know if I should lose them and let newbies think I'm an awful crank, or transfer them to my current pages. Or, I could just let them go, because my own contributions should prove that I actually *do* know my stuff... ;-) Feel free to do as you wish, old son -- if there's anything there worthy of posterity, keep it -- if not, "push the button, Max!"

Hello Stephen. Is there a script or a fast way to make the year pages, or does this have to be done by hand each and every time? If I remember correctly, somebody, (cant' remember who) was just crankin' these things out like they were nothing. --maveric149, Sunday, May 5, 2002

Great work on the moving everything over on the wikipedians pages - I did some of the work two but gave up after about 20 moves. --12.246.119.53

Thanks for helping with the Dutch links. --maveric149

Important note for all sysops: There is a bug in the administrative move feature that truncates the moved history and changes the edit times. Please do not use this feature until this bug is fixed. More information can be found in the talk of Brion VIBBER and maveric149. Thank you. --maveric149

Re adding fountain pen to the Brilliant prose page -- thanks! (in proportion to my less-than-a third-I-guess contribution to that article) -- Marj Tiefert, Thursday, July 4, 2002

The Wikipedia Google search bar is pretty cool -- I'm glad you copied it. --maveric149

Please read Talk:Countries_of_the_world/Status_of_the_porting_of_Dept_of_State_info and make your ideas known. We've been discussing how to organize the country articles, and the input of a leader like you would be invaluable. --Ed Poor

Re the Project Sourceberg/SourceLink whatever stuff--it's pretty cool. But the current state is that such suggestions have to be put into practice by the suggestor. --The Cunctator

How do I get to the page where you moved the copyright discussion from the Village Pump, please? I was participating in the discussion and now don't know how to find it to follow it. -- isis 8 Sep 2002

No problem re; gamecube articles. I've noticed articles in regards to some games, noticably the Zelda series which are poorly written, and need to have a NPOV, as they are obviously written by fans. I'm a bit scared to undertake these though! Greg Godwin

Are you going to move all the slashed poker articles? Do you need my help? (Do we need to talk to LDC, who pretty much wrote them all single-handedly?) --Ed Poor

Hi Stephen - you commented on my pages a few days ago, and pointed out that I should try to link pages in. Now I have a real problem - so perhaps you or some of your readers could tell me how to solve it. Suppose I want to put in an entry for "Rockingham china". There are quite a lot of entries for "Rockingham", almost none of them concerned with the English pottery. There are at least 500 entries for China, and doubtless many more - I think it's incredibly unlikely that any will refer to china - in the sense of pottery. So how do I go about creating such an entry, and how could it ever be found by anyone?

I still have problems with multiple entries for words - I haven't figured out how to do these yet - though I suppose there is a solution.

e.g

induction -> a method of mathematical proof (mathematical induction)
induction -> linking together electrical circuits - (electromagnetic induction)
induction -> a method of inference

I'm sorry - I still don't get this.

Thanks for the detailed responses - noted. Now I'm trying to figure out how to do better maths markup than (e.g (3x+2)^2) - must be a way - without having to use LaTeX, though not sure if HTML based methods are good enough. DM.

Hi Stephen,

I made unilaterarily and without consult a #80 line of the TourBus, linking several wikipedias in a loop. If you wish you can write about it in MeatBall TourBusHQ. I do not like a place where I can not be me --AN 05:00 Nov 22, 2002 (UTC)
