"minor" edits

Hi Petedavo.

I was looking at the edit history for Beckenham, Western Australia, and I noticed that you marked one of your edits as minor that I thought was a bit more than a minor edit, as described in Help:Minor edit.

I can see that you've beem on wikipedia about as long as I have... I don't claim to be any kind of expert on this. Leave a message on my talk page to let me know what you think about it. Maybe we could ask a more experienced editor for their opinion on the etiquette for marking edits as minor.

Anyway, good to see you're working hard to improve Wikipedia. See you 'round. - DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 09:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep your right (looking at the def). Was done donkeys ago when I considered a sentence to be minor and a paragraph to be minor + LOL. petedavo 11:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wattle Grove

I've done some tidying up and expansion on my suburb. I need someone to tell me to stop before I go overboard (probably already have), or chew up my holidays wasting time editing wikipedia, or fail to get my yard tidied up before Xmas. So if anyone knows anything of this area and says that they reckon it's done to death, that'll be good enough for me.petedavo (talk) 02:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sig

Is your new sig an reference to the rainbow flag and thus an expression of gay pride? You don't have to answer that question; it's none of my business. But if it isn't, then I thought you would want to know that some (most?) of us will jump to that conclusion. Hesperian 04:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crikey, I'm too old for that, and obviously too old to of thought of it. Puts a new meaning to being an old bugger! Just saw a cool looking sig and tried to copy the code. but it doesn't work when I bunged it into Preferences. so I better fix it for two reasons now. Thanks (I think).petedavo|talk 21:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only just started it 5 seconds ago, that's why it's empty.

Can you help?

The article Burger King legal issues is undergoing a featured article review and I would like some assistance in insuring the Burger King Corporation v. Hungry Jack's Pty Limited ([2001] NSWCA 187) is properly cited and factually correct. Searching through the WP:AUSLAW project I came across your page.

Your user page says you reside in Perth, so this might just be up your alley. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

The FAC discussion is here

You might want to look at a couple of other articles related to the subject I created:

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Wikipedia:How to edit a page

I'm referring to this diff: [1]

Where did you get this idea? It seems to be demonstrably false. — Werdna • talk 14:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, if you put a space at the beginning of a line it will and does alter the formatting for the whole page and makes the page unreadable in IE7.  It puts the line with the space into a block, but that block does not word wrap and it thus makes the entire page as wide as the line!, thus rendering the page to become as wide as the line in that block. It's quite horrible to look at and there are far more easier on the eye ways to highlight a bit of text. Petedavo ^talk^{contributions} 23:59, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's what <pre> is supposed to do! The <pre> tag is designed to allow you to break your own lines, it's not supposed to be used for highlighting text! See [2]. — Werdna • talk 05:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly my point! Petedavo ^talk^{contributions} 10:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't use a laptop

Forgive me. Every time I try and use a laptop to edit wiki, I get typos and all sorts and have to makes multiple fixes to my editing. Got big fingers, and a small keyboard. Petedavo ^talk^{contributions} 02:10, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
