Please support complement EU !!!

Hi,as a EU supporter maybe you´d like to support this: I´m trying to implement the 'EU' in the city-templates of European city articles. The EU should be mentioned next to the country; like country : Spain / EU Please support the enhancement in these templates and argue for the innovation if you want to. Would be great.

Removal of Reflist tag

Can you explain this edit? Also, please provide edit summaries when editing, and remember to mark your edits as minor only if they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Pagra shtak 19:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It came out of nowhere and caused an error. I am actively editing those pages and I thought it was a random insert. A bit of warning before you do that would be nice.

Slamlander (talk) 19:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The references in the texts you've been adding with <ref> don't appear unless you use the corresponding <references /> tag. {{Reflist}} is a template that includes that tag, along with code to change the text size and facilitate multi-column display. The error is from an empty reference you added. You just couldn't tell the error was there because you were missing the references tag. Exactly what sort of warning are you expecting from me? Pagra shtak 19:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing much, just that what you added wasn't an accident, I guess. I really wasn't expecting anyone else doing stuff at the same time that I was. It startled me, sry. - Slamlander (talk) 19:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If you work on pages with any amount of traffic you'll soon get used to that, though. Regarding the minor edits, you should check your preferences (with the link at the top of the page) and go the "Editing" tag. If you have "Mark all edits minor by default" checked, uncheck it. Some editors might view a major edit marked as minor as an attempt to hide what you are doing. While there, you might also consider checking "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" to help encourage the use of edit summaries. By the way—check out Wikipedia:Footnotes to read about the <ref> and <references /> system. Pagra shtak 19:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review hull articles

I looked at your work on the hull articles. The only concern is the Fundamental Concept section at Monohull. I see what your trying to do there, but it seems a bit over the top on the discussion of logs. Yes, the origin of the hull was likely a log, but I don't know that the disucssion needs to be this log intensive. Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 19:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I was trying to hit a common denominator. Open to suggestions on alternatives. -- Slamlander (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:59, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
