Question About Indents

[edit]

I'm going to invoke the omg 911 command even though It's not an emergency. I was wondering if anyone could let me know what the command to cause all text after the tag to indent until you turn it off. I've been browsing some of the how-tos and not finding what I'm looking for. I also ran a search but irrelevant results turned up so I'm sorry to hate to bug you guys for something so simple.

Thanks in advance. Novaprospekt 18:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The HTML tag <blockquote> will indent both the left and right margins until you </blockquote> . To indent only the left margin, you'll have to put a colon (:) at the start of each line, I'm not aware of any easier method. You could use tables if you wanted to get really messy. -Dawson 19:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, to only indent the left side, you could use : at the start of each line. Bjelleklang - talk 19:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, the colon command was what I was looking for, but I think I can make great use of the blockquote command as well. Again, thanks for your help. -- Novaprospekt 16:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

[edit]

On 13-May, you created a "soft" redirect from Allosteric inhibition to Allosteric regulation. You should do a real redirect in cases like this. The instructions for how are at Wikipedia:Redirect. I've fixed this one, but if you need help in the future, let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:35, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the welcome, I recently signed up for Wikipedia after going over some articles in a subject field I am proficient in; and finding some things that could be changed. I appreciate the links and when I find some spare time I will definately read each one closely. I also appreciate you correcting my redirect. :)
I am pretty familiar with HTML tags but I gotta learn Wiki code hehe. Again, thanks for looking out for us new users, have a good day. --Novaprospekt 01:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Proposed deletion. If you have an objection to deletion of the redirect, blanking the article is not the appropriate response. - Nunh-huh 00:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You might try posting {{db-author}} at the top of the article to request speedy deletion, since you seem to be the only contributor of content. NickelShoe (Talk) 04:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't have an objection, Nunh-huh -- in fact I realized my mistake a few minutes after submitting it but couldn't figure out how to delete it so I just ctrl+A and deleted. I saw that afterwards you were reverting my futile attempts to delete it (not knowing that was the procedure) so I added a comment in the edit box to make you aware of my intentions... sorry for the confusion and my noobness. Thanks NickelShoe for the advice I will do that in the future if I make a mistake. --Novaprospekt 01:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beach lung

[edit]

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Beach lung, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. - Pacula 19:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, I restored the "Yankees Suck" image. The phrase was directly mentioned in the article until recently, and irregardless, the image helps to illustrate the criticism of the Yankees that occurs regularly outside New York City. 2 says you, says two 13:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yankees Suck was an article in its own right at one point, and then was merged into New York Yankees under a new criticism section, which was slowly whittled down until all commentary regarding the phrase, including its associated references were removed. From a referencing standpoint, the original article seemed to easily satisfy WP:N and WP:V (sadly many of the links there are dead as that diff was from 2006), but the chant seems significant enough that at least some mention is warranted, and paring it down from the original article was more helpful in the long run. I don't have any objection to removing the image, but I think this needs to be discussed by the wider community on the talk page, especially since in general notability is not temporary. 2 says you, says two 18:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I re-removed the image and requested it deleted. 2 says you, says two 18:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
