Go ahead and try the edit again. It appears a typo accidentally sneaked into the code. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:17, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation pages

Hi, I noticed your edits to Excel, however, they did not follow MOS:DAB, so I had to revert it. There should only be 1 blue link per item, except for a few certain cases. +mt 17:40, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

help request

{{helpme}}

is there a way to edit footnotes as a block? i find it difficult to jump back and forth (sometimes scrolling endlessly) between a "preview" mode (at top of screen) and the "edit box" (at bottom of screen) when trying to conform, stylistically, various footnotes. workaround attempts -

1. opening 2 windows (one with aritcle) and another with "edit box" is also distracting.
2. clicking the edit link of the footnotes section only offers the "reflist|3" (hugged by double braces on both ends) entry

each of the 3 methods described above cause me to lose my train of thought...ugh. as a result i tend to ignore editing (even cleanup) of footnotes.

also, what is meaning the "3" in that entry? sometimes i see different numbers. thanks to whomever might answer this query.--71.183.238.134 (talk) 22:49, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, references are inline with the text, and cannot be edited all at once. Sorry about that. The 3 in {{reflist|3}} means that the references list will be displayed in 3 columns. //roux 22:53, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

add "help me" template

having just saved some revisions to Dolly Parton to take a break, i return to find that they were reverted by "MC10 (talk | contribs) (54,267 bytes) (Reverted edits by 71.183.238.134 to last revision by (HG)) (undo)"

it appears that "HG" is some anti-vandalism bot(?). i went ot "MC10"'s talk page to leave a query (but didn't bother because that user has "off-line" indication on the talk page and i had planned to continue cleaning up parton article tonight).

did i do something wrong? or bug in bot? thanks to whoever responds.--71.183.238.134 (talk) 02:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see that edit; the (HG) just means that the person used a tool called 'huggle' to revert it; it was a real person. I'm not quite sure why they reverted it, but please do leave a note on their talk page and ask them, to find out the reason. I'm sure they'll respond soon, but in the meantime don't make the same edit, we don't want an edit war. Remember, there is no deadline :-)

If you need more help, please use another helpme. Cheers,

Salut ! I suppose you were honestly trying to improve the layout of this « list » article - and it looks wonderful on YOUR computer monitor, however, you have created a disaster for everyone else to look at. By placing images left and right combined with sections, creating artifical breaks, etc., you have created big blocks of whites space between your sections - and an article which is three times longer than it was before for people viewing this on larger 22", 26" and 34" (wide screen) desktop monitors as well as netbooks with 10" and 12" (narrow) screens, all of which I use. -- I clearly wrote a notation about ONLY adding images to the top of the "list" (as other people do). Why you chose to ignore a clearly worded message at the top of the article edit page - most people think my English OK - is simply beyond me.... PLEASE respect - and do not ignore - author's commented-out remarks, and please do not break "list" articles with photos, like this one, in this way again. Be concious that Wikipédia is for everyone, not just you. Please Note: Images added to the top do not create ANY artifical breaks. Thank you! Merci !

the namespace for the University of minnesota school of dentistry, a fairly recently created article (by someone else), could use some initial caps. thanks.--71.183.238.134 (talk) 07:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Done Jclemens (talk) 07:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

help request - list of stage names

{{helpme}}

list of stage names is some 103 kb long and i can only see it growing over time. it would seem appropriate to split it (as i've seen on other lengthy lists) but i have no idea how that is done (and i doubt as an unregistered user i have the capability).--71.183.238.134 (talk) 22:39, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd recommended to post on the discussion page first, and see what the experienced say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laaa200 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it would be best to post on the talk page. As an unregistered user, you do not have the ability to create new pages (see some other reasons to register).--Res 2216 firestar 05:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

help request - 2-column numbered list

{{help me}}

hi. i would like to create 2-column numbered lists (such as restyling the long set list at Halos & Horns Tour). i can't quite grasp what is offered at Help:List#Multi-column_numbered_list and haven't stumbled across another article employing this style to use as a crib sheet. hope you can help. thanks in advance.--71.183.238.134 (talk) 15:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Try {{div col}} and {{div col end}}. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, Help:List is referring to this:

{{Multi-column numbered list|1|Item one<li>two<li>three|3|<li>four<li>five<li>six}}

For the record. - Jarry1250 ^{(t, c)} 16:05, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can look at Tommy Zoom#Episodes if you need an example of this usage of a multi-column numbered list. --Mysdaao ^talk 16:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.~~

I guess that was unnessisary, should of have reverted but not warned. Andrewrp^Tally-ho! 22:31, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually no, you shouldn't have reverted either. The edit in the diff above was fine. //roux 22:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:{{US-film-actor-1850s-stub}}

Hi - I've reverted your edit to {{US-film-actor-1850s-stub}} - that template deliberately doesn't have its own category. It is what is known as an upmeerged template. The reason for this is the small number of stubs which are marked with that template. New stub templates and categories are usually proposed prior to creation, as explained at WP:STUB. If this one had been, the upmerging would have been explained to you. Grutness...wha? 23:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
