Redlinks

Regarding your question on redlinks – no, they do not necessarily need to be removed. However, if you like, before adding links, do a Search for the term in question; it may link you to a relevant page. Redlinks aren't bad, they just highlight information that's still needed. If you leave a redlink, someone will eventually come along and write an article about it, or link it to something close enough.

I hope that helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me on my talkpage. Regards, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 03:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: helpme

Original Question: As im new, i was just wondering wether the links which do not link anywhere should be removed or not?

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia once again. The links that do not link anywhere, and which appear red, should not be removed from Wikipedia. The reason for this is that users can create the articles that these links link to, and in the process, make the encyclopedia bigger. --Ali K 03:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

helpme answer

Thanks! It was really simple after all :-) Jean-Philippe 04:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Helpme tag

for my user page, is there a list of the tags which give specified wiki-boxes. e.g "This user is a native speaker of english" and that stuff?

You can find out about them at WP:BABEL. And for future reference, you should put {{helpme}} tags on your talk page. --JD ^{don't talk} _{email me} 20:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Album cover

Hi there.

What you want to do is go to "Upload file" on the left in your toolbox. Next, find the source on your computer. Now rename the title, for example "Elvis is dead cover.jpg". Use {{albumcover}} as the summary, and select the album cover for fair use reasoning. Happy editing to you, let me know if you have any problems! Teke 05:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

help

sorry, seeing as this isnt really urgent, but where do i go about finding a 'skin' for my usertalk page? is there such a place to find these?

I'm not aware of a central collection of them. Most people seem to find one they like and copy it from the page it is on, the tweak it to meet their own requirements. --pgk^(talk) 23:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Helpme request

How do i go about linking to a wikitionary definition?

The interwiki prefix for Wiktionary is wikt:, for example [[wikt:today]] produces wikt:today. The individual language prefixes for interwiki links also work (for example, wikt:en:blah) :) Luna Santin 09:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Helpme request

sorry to be full of questions, but is there an easy way for a little box which says how man y edits i've made, and where i have made them etC?

No need to put {{helpme}} on your userpage you can (and probably should) place them right here on your talk page. To answer your question edit counts aren't a built in feature of the mediawiki software, so no there isn't an easy way to do this. --pgk^(talk) 10:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

new skin for the old ceremony

Hi there. What skin do you mean? Do you mean the look of my user page? Or is it some other skin you mean? //Halibutt 11:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I can't help you much. Just copy the text from my user page to some sub-page in your user space (for instance User:L Trezise/page), save it, and then edit it to your liking, replacing my texts and images with yours. I'm no expert on html tables and the framework of my user page has been more or less copied from User:Blankfaze who created it. I merely adapted it to my needs. //Halibutt 11:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

congratulations

Congratulations on your progress with the "Progress" disambiguation links. (Notice that I did NOT make the word progress a link. Aren't you grateful?) --Sean Lotz 12:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Re: Thanks

Awww, thanks so much. :) I'm bad at accepting and replying to compliments (very bad) and always say something really awkward. But I should at least let you know that I appreciate it. Keep up the good work, yourself. :) Luna Santin 05:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

File download mystery

Thanks so much for explaining. I appreciate all the help; and as I'm still figuring stuff out here, every little bit of information helps. Thanks again.—Chidom ^talk  07:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Diablo - Icaros.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Diablo - Icaros.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 09:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.

Biased editing of Technological Utopianism by Loremaster.

Due to your past contribution to Technological utopianism, you may currently want to help editing the Technological utopianism article because currently only one editor is contributing to the article. The Singularitarianism Article could also benefit from your help.

I feel Loremaster is editing Singularitarianism and Technological utopianism in a biased manner in accordance with his Save The Earth propaganda. Loremasters's ideology seems to verge towards Neo-Luddism. Here are the damming facts Loremaster has stated in discussion:

Loremaster says he is:

"...critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms."

Loremaster wants people to:

"...stop indulging in techno-utopian fantasies... ...so that we can all focus on energies on saving the planet."

Loremaster sees his editing as a 'fight' and he states:

"Although I am convinced that the world is in fact heading toward an ecological catastrophe, I think it can be averted and my optimism makes me want to fight to do do just that."

81.151.135.248 (talk) 12:09, 18 December 2010 (UTC)JB

1. LOL
2. Despite the fact that I openly admit to being a technorealist who is critical of techno-utopianism in all its forms, I have let never this point of view influence any of my edits or reverts of the Technological utopianism or Singularitarianism articles. On the contrary, I am the person most responsible for expanding the former article with content some would argue is “pro-techno-utopian” (i.e. passages from James Hughes' book Citizen Cyborg).
3. I find it disgusting that 81.151.135.248 would take comments I made out of context to falsely make it seem I see my editing of any article as part of my fight for the environment.
4. In light of this outrageous act of bad faith, I will do everything in my power to get this jerk banned from Wikipedia.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
