Gloucester County College - thanks! And one question...

Hi. Thanks for going over the Gloucester County College page and rating it. What sort of infobox is suitable (the WikiProjec New Jersey tag says one is needed), besides the college/university one that's already up there? Thanks again! Allens (talk) 17:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Sure, happy to take a look. It is a good start, but some sections are entirely unreferenced. If references were added for each section, that would go a long way toward making it into C-class. As for the infobox, I didn't pay attention to that tag. Removed, as it obviously does have an infobox. Cheers. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:23, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Medicine, tasks you can do:

Women in Victorian England, Beeton, & copyright

Thank you so much for pointing out the Project Gutenberg copy of Beeton's book! I've reverted back to the "tables" version of the article and updated the source citations to the Gutenberg copy. Many thanks. OttawaAC (talk) 14:05, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

style?

What are you talking about? Try best and just show by diff. 99.90.197.87 (talk) 02:51, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Try saying "Try your best and just show what you mean using a diff". Allens (talk) 03:27, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

If user Allens insist. Yes, try your best and just show what you mean using a diff . (note: However "such" wording imply logical preposition, which was not considered exactly.) 99.90.197.87 (talk) 10:00, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Sigh... you didn't understand what I meant - I was giving an example of how you are very unclear. I have no idea what you're meaning, if it wasn't what I said in the first place. Allens (talk) 15:16, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Do you understand: "Try your best and just show what you mean using a diff" ? 99.90.197.87 (talk) 15:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Magna Mater

Could I suggest that you and your confrère Machine Elf 1735 proceed more cautiously in mucking about with this? Those of us who write regularly on ancient Roman religion are aware of the problems with this title, which are unlikely to be sorted out through the proliferation of dabs and redirects. You are both causing more problems than you're solving. When I've linked to "Magna Mater," I've expected it to go to "Cybele" for now. But I agree with comments made elsewhere by Haploidavey that "Magna Mater" is a divine honorific that may refer primarily to Cybele, but can refer to other deities. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless you're doing something informational to improve the situation. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

That is, in fact, exactly what I was trying to do with my editing - indicate that Magna Mater can mean Cybele or can mean other things. The situation as is is not satisfactory and needs fixing. If you wish to have Magna Mater redirecting to Cybele, with Cybele having a link to a disambiguation page for other meanings of Magna Mater, I'm fine with that. But there needs to be an indication that Magna Mater doesn't only mean Cybele, since it doesn't. Allens (talk) 18:01, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, just a note to thank you for the useful tag. I never think of these things. Haploidavey (talk) 00:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Sure; happy to help! I should do it myself the next time I'm intensively working on Gloucester County College or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or such, but I never think I'm going to make that many changes... :-} Allens (talk) 00:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for your help with the article Cestus. There are some more things to do there, aren't there? Would you be interested in joining any of the discussions on the talk page or starting a topic about new ways of improving the article? As always, feel free to edit it further.

Biographies

Actually, I did have that parameter set at first...until I discovered a couple of stray living politicians. I thought it was best to err on the side of caution, just to be certain. Regardless, you won't have any more to worry about - that was the last batch of talkpages I was going to create...unless I decide to check on Irish MPs tomorrow (and those are all dead, so that shouldn't be a worry.) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

help

I have a problem. I've discovered that I have come to create two users that I both use, by accident, and I'll tak not expelled for using multiple accounts. Can you help me? Okay, I came to write incorrectly. I use only one of the accounts were when I forgot the password to the other.--80.161.143.239 (talk) 14:50, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
