simple links

Hello. Please note that you do not need to write [[charisma|charismatic]], as you did at Donald Kimball. Writing [[charisma]]tic, [[hyphen]]ated, [[logic]]al, [[cat]]s, [[evolution]]ary, [[rabbi]]nical, [[Egypt]]ian, [[dogma]]tic, [[apocrypa]]l, [[fur trade]]r, [[antagonist]]ic etc., makes the whole word, not just the part in the brackets, appear as a clickable link, which links to the article whose title is in the brackets. The more complicated thing can be used for things like [[philosophy|philosophies]]. (I changed the article so that it says [[charisma]]tic.) Michael Hardy 00:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Song titles

As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style song titles should be represented thus:- "Song Title", and not Song Title or even Song Title. Your recent alterations to Crispian St. Peters refers. No problem, just for future reference.

Dale Noyd

I was excited to see there was an entry on Dale until I saw in it that he had died in January (which I hadn't known). I won an award at Earlham named for Dale; he was a great teacher and I've always wondered what happened to him after I left and he retired. I hadn't known about his pre-Earlham history; people talked a little about it here and there, but I never heard the whole story. Thanks. McTavidge 03:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

California County Election Results

Just a thought, but you might want to hold off on updating all of the election results in the counties, till the Secretary of State certifies the results. There's still over a million absentee ballots left to be counted and most of these numbers will likely see some changes before the official results are in.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Cmckain14 (talk) 01:48, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Los Dos Molinos

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Los Dos Molinos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
