Allies of World War II

Just deleted some junk that I thought was obvious vandalism. I suppose I should have said that in the Edit Summary. - Doctorx0079 (talk) 20:27, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: The Labor Split III - an offer you can't refuse

Lol, I'll do what I can. This isn't my area of expertise though. I was listening to Kim Edward Beazley's memoirs (narrated by his son) that I received as part of the second prize for a quiz night, and I kept on coming across this Alan Reid fellow ... so I thought he *needed* a Wikipedia article!

Hey, why did ya do that? Graham87 12:41, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Apologee-ies?. It was was an obvious mistake on my ^part?. I'll fix it up if you don't get in ^first? --Shirt58 (talk) 13:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Fixed, before I found your message. Graham87 13:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

No worries mate, I've done that plenty of times before. Graham87 12:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: File:Picador Richard Flanagan 2002 GouldsBookofFish cover.jpg

Cheers. Didn't mean to step on your toes, but did look like it could do with a cleaner scan. --jjron (talk) 09:43, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Trust me, my toes are completely unscathed. I sometimes review my contributions and think, hmm, I really should fix some of the book cover pix I've uploaded, but due to my short attention span am easily distracted and... ooh, just Googled up a new reliable reference for Hevisaurus! Oops, sorry, what was the question?--Shirt58 (talk) 10:29, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Vagrancy (people)

My edit summary was hardly misleading, it was lazy and empty, but the edit was hardly nonconstructive as it removed a very biased, unsourced (the only source were for statistics counterproductive to the arguement). 174.112.18.193 (talk) 03:10, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

"notes" section for image files on commons?

Hey all,
The article Genesis Suite currently has a number of "see copy in the commons" mentions. Those mentions have been arguably adequately referenced in the main referencing of the article; what is needed is link/s to those commons files. So, how do I do this? {{helpme}}--Shirt58 (talk) 13:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Shirt58. You can pipe a link to the commons images referred to. To pipe a link directly to a commons media file without having the file display, you simply need to prefix a colon in the link code. So, for example, where it says in the article currently "see copy in the commons", you might change this to "see [[:File:exact name file|copy in the commons]]". I assume all of the images of the documents are in the Commons category for Genesis Suite. Here I am attempting to provide a mechanical solution to your question, but I'm not 100% sure the article's in-text referral to these images is the best way to go.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:30, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Mixed martial arts - MC Hammer

Thanks. 63.131.4.149 (talk) 15:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Not sure how to talk back! Moner Manush was my first article and i'm still trying to figure this out. Thanks a ton for helping out. I wanted to put the poster I uploaded to commons but the resolution was weird and the pic got layered. How do I upload a pic to a page directly? Thanks again and do feel free to make corrections —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adaabata (talk • contribs) 07:33, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

For your mis-contributions to Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Heads up -

Hi - someone may have told you this before, but just a heads up: you should be waiting more than a minute before tagging articles with A1 or A3, as you did in Confirm friend. I've heard on multiple occasions, that 5 minutes is a good limit on when you can tag pages with these templates. Cheers! ∙:∙:.:pepper:.:∙:∙ 12:47, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Interesting link. And really good. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

For your review

When discussing films or actors who do not quite yet have the coverage to merit inclusion, you might consider referring to WP:TOOSOON rather that WP:HAMMER as the former deals with actors and films and the latter deals with albums. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Cryingwind

It was a tough call, since they were editing productively. I almost just left a warning, but I realized it wouldn't be fair to everyone else I've blocked for the same reason. Daniel Case (talk) 14:24, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

The problem here is that "Crying Wind" is a notorious fraud, and the editor of the same name was desperately trying to cover up that fact by purging the article of any useful information. I've removed the unsound links, and provided links to solid reliable sources about her scamful history. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Looks like a failure of due diligence on my part. But, much better to have made a mistake based on an excess rather than a lack of good faith, I would think.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
