You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: Wikipedia:How to edit a page, Wikipedia:show preview, Wikipedia:How to write a great article, Wikipedia:Naming conventions, Wikipedia:Manual of Style. You should read our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines at some point too. If you have any questions, see the Wikipedia:Help, add a question to the Wikipedia:village pump or ask me on User_talk:Fennec. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedia:Wikipedians! User:Fennec 04:36, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC) The Abe Lincoln page is now fixed I believed. I fixed the table and the duplication of text. I hope that is better. User:ChrisDJackson 21:12, 9 May 2004 (UTC) ---- The page you listed for deletion at User:Yath/Fictional currency has now been deleted. -- User:Francs2000 | User talk:Francs2000 23:38, 30 May 2004 (UTC) ---- Maybe I'm being thick, but what was the point of moving Abiotic Petroleum to Abiotic Petroleum origin and replacing it with a redirect to what it already was? User:The Land 22:45, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC) :I'm not sure I understand... content is in Abiotic petroleum origin, and Abiotic petroleum is a redirect. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Or if you are referring to the reason for the move in the first place, I wanted to make sure the title reflected the fact that the article is really about a theory, not a special kind of petroleum. --User:Yath 22:52, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC) :: Makes perfect sense now. User:The Land 11:17, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Laika == Why did you re-add the black and white photo? Now the article just looks cluttered! Vote one for removal 02:55, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC) :Thanks for the reply re: nomination for feature article. I've contacted the Russian Space Agency asking for more information, not expecting a reply for some time though. I agree about the stamp and I'm trying to find an uncopyrighted one to include :) I've done a lot of updates to this article following suggestions from you and other users. --User:Zerbey 21:02, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC) ==Perl== Hi, Yath. Thanks for your User_talk:Chocolateboy#Perl on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Perl&diff=4297121&oldid=4274153 Perl tweak]. Much appreciated. Just Another Perl Tweaker, User:Chocolateboy 20:38, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC) ==FORTRAN vs Fortran== Sorry; see my User talk:Wernher page. --User:Wernher 04:02, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC) ==Taxoboxes== Yath, thanks for going ahead and modifying Taxobox_section_subdivision. However, you didn't leave a message on wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life, and I'm not sure if you want help fixing the relevant pages, or if you want them left alone so a bot can handle it. If you do want help, maybe we could sign out letters of the alphabet. Thanks, User:Josh Grosse 07:18, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC) :It's on a 65 second delay right now, which will make the job take well over 5 hours. If we want to shorten it, I can always cut the delay back. It's just a matter of not pissing people off with server-overloading. I don't see any need to do some by hand. --User:Yath 07:22, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC) == bi-, tri-nomial == I was just copying what dog had. It seemed useful IMO since the binomial format is more well known to lay people, but the trinomial is more correct. -- User:Emperorbma|User talk:Emperorbma 06:40, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) Hm it is certainly rare, I can say that. The dog and cat being classified as subspecies of their wild ancestor seems to be a recent development and I think it is still permeating the textbooks so I am sure there are some old ones left that still say ''canis familiaris'' and ''felis domesticus''. I think the modern consensus is on the trinomials however... -- User:Emperorbma|User talk:Emperorbma 07:03, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Thanks. == Thanks for expanding Splash screen I suppose I owe you one. User:Ilyanep — Ilγαηερ">User:Ilyanep (Tαlκ)">User talk:Ilyanep 00:40, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Template:University of California == Although I appreciate you changing the format, [[User:Jiang|] might disagree with your change and revert it. If you did not notice, the discussion page had a lot of revisional edits to what the should''' looked like. I know this is 5 days after the fact, but I've been busy of late. I would like to ask before any further changes are made to the template that you please add your revision to the discussion page before it is posted. --User:AllyUnion 13:40, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Occupation of Palestine== Please see my question at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Occupation_of_Palestine#Tally:%20Rephrasing%20the%20question -- User:Jmabel 01:24, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC) ==Species in Taxoboxes== Yath, I agree, it was redundant to put (as I did) "C. esculenta" under species in the taxobox on the Taro article. But I was trying to make a point. The species name of the taro plant is NOT "esculenta." A species name is a bionomial, so ''Colocasia esculenta'' or ''C. esculenta'' is the correct entry. I would suggest removing the "species" line from all the taxoboxes and simply go to the next "box" which is the binomial and there list ''Colocasia esculenta''. It only shows a lack of understanding of taxonomic names at that level to list ''esculenta'' as the "species". - User:Marshman 17:14, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC) :I figured that was why you did it. I don't know much about biology and taxonomy; my interest in the Tree of Life project is purely technical. So, I can't make the determination that it would be "redundant"; rather, I'm just blindly following the current conventions. Your modification was a stark departure from the format used so far. I expect that some discussion on WT:TOL would be a good idea (and if you read the whole page, you'll see that I scrupulously avoid the sections pertaining to ''why'' things are done the way they are, as opposed to ''how''). It would be easy enough to modify Template:Taxobox_species_entry to be blank or different or something, if you can get folks to agree on something. --User:Yath 20:57, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC) ::Thanks Yath. I did put some discussion on a Taxonomy project page today (did not figure you were necessarily the one to "complain" to). I think the point I'm making is not one well understood outside of taxonomy; but the taxobox has it incorrect (and is clearly redundant anyway, when a "binomial name"—which would be correct—follows) - User:Marshman 21:08, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Those blasted dashes . . . == Hi Yath - wonder if I could ask you not to use dashes: they're very annoying things, the main problem with them is that they're very brittle, and when editing near them, they fragment into little pieces some of which get left behind, stuck to other text like porcupine quills and showing up (usually as semi-colons) unwanted in the text. I can't see anywhere where they are really needed and that an ordinary hyphen or comma doesn't do the job perfectly well. Also curious to know why you're removing line spaces after taxoboxes (where they're very useful for seeing easily where the taxobox stuff ends), but inserting them after every header, where they're completely unnecessary - User:MPF 08:22, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) :I have been unsure about the dashes, and I agree it would be good to just use hyphens. But a blank line after a taxobox will cause the article text to be shifted downward. And a blank line after a header makes the source easier to read. For me. --User:Yath 11:52, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) ::Hi Yath - thanks; I just checked on two versions with/without a blank line after the box, and there's no difference (at least with the IE browser I'm using! - is it different with other browsers?) - User:MPF 16:17, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) :::You are right. I just checked it and it only appears in preview... I will be leaving a blank line after the taxobox now. --User:Yath 16:37, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) == ruby cat == Apologies for adding back the "popular programming languages" category to the Ruby programming language page in my recent edit -- the last edit to the page removed it without comment, and I was checking that the removal was legit (which it obviously is) when I saw some room for improvement in the page itself. I didn't realize I was editing an old copy of the page, so I accidentally reverted the previous change. My apologies, and thanks for catching my mistake. User:Neilc 03:50, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Proper name caps == Yath, I noticed you are a source of changes to certain words used in biology to designate taxa from upper to lower case. In biology/taxonomy, the taxon level (or designation) is considered part of the name and is therefore a proper noun requiring caps. If the taxon name is used by itself, it is in lower case. Thus, it would be correct to write either "The family of figs is the Moraceae" or "Figs are in the Family Moraceae" It is incorrect to write: "order Pinales" (s/b "Order Pinales") and incorrect to write: "''Poecilia'' is a Genus of minnows" (s/b "''Poecilia'' is a genus of minnows"). Hope this helps. - User:Marshman 05:17, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Talk:Atheism == Thanks for being right. User:Sam Spade http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Sam_Spade&action=edit§ion=new Spade 02:01, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC) :Thanks, Sam. It felt good to post that, too :) --User:Yath 02:50, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC) == Dispute resolution == NPOVNPOV is a valid tag, it serves when some dispute the presence of the NPOV and disputed tag, and acts to prevent edit wars over the tags, DO NOT REMOVE IT or you will find an RfC against yourself == Article Licensing == Hi, I've User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project to get users to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 Creative Commons Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer.
