Nuclear power by country[edit]

Hi, could you mark Poland as a country "Considering first plant" on the Image:Nuclear power stations.png? See the Nuclear power by country article for details. Mieciu K 10:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you in return you can look at the pictures of an article about an unfinished Polish nuclear power plant pl:Elektrownia Jądrowa Żarnowiec. The construction proces was halted because of protests in 1990 after communism in Poland ended because nobody asked the public for their opinion or adressed their post-chernobyl fears.

Tip of the day project update[edit]

Just trying to get things better organized around there. Toward that end, I've created a task list template for the project. If all the contributors to the project placed it on their user page, we could all keep in touch more easily (with announcements, alerts, etc.). It, and the latest announcements can be found at:

Unicode problems[edit]

Yes, the text editor I was doing the regular expression replacements in had problems with unicode, and I don't have Eastern fonts installed, so I didn't notice until much later. Apologies. ed g2s • talk 12:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A line has been crossed[edit]

Cross posted to User talk:A Man In Black

Okay, I've been sent a letter from Minun (or Poke Fan's, since Minun has fell off the bandwagon) "feather" (yeah, I think he was shooting for "father") and well it's weird. It's here, I'm not even copying it over, it isn't worth it. It must be his IP, he may have a rotating one, I don't know what it is. If you could talk to him it would be great. Thanks, troubled H ig hway ^Batman! 16:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well people seem to forget he never dealt with his block. H ig hway ^Batman! 17:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorta[edit]

I have a sig page, so I put {{subst:User:69.145.123.171/sig}} and it looks like so: 69.145.123.171 ^Hello! Wednesday, July 5, 2006, 06:48 (UTC) . And thanks-I took a lot of time thinking of what it should look like. :) 69.145.123.171 ^Hello! Wednesday, July 5, 2006, 06:48 (UTC)

Wikipedia awards committee[edit]

Check out my comments here, Wikipedia awards committee. Thanks! --evrik 17:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo and can you do me a favor?[edit]

Hi Smurray! Just dropped in for a quick check. Non-virtual life's a bit busy nowadays so I get very little time for WPing. Hope everything's well with you.

Anyway, could you do me a favor? Some bloke moved Joaquin Maria Gutierrez to Joaquín María Gutiérrez with all the fancy accent marks above the name, which are unnecessary and indeed superfluous as we Filipinos jettisoned those nearly a century ago. Would you move it back to the original page, please? I'd post the request in the appropriate section, but with all the hustle and bustle going on here every day, it would most likely not be noticed and the problem would probably still be there after a month. And yes, it is quite important. Thanks and cheers! Igor the Lion ^(Roar!) 12:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You bastard! :D[edit]

I wanted to move it! :( PS: Good episode, don't you think? Will (message me!) 18:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If they commision a 3rd special, I want to move it! And if you do, I'll keel you! Will (message me!) 18:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Can you point me to the exact link? I'm scanning the MoS, but don't see the bit you're refering to, cheers, aLii 10:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but that's certainly not how references are cited in scientific papers! Putting the citation within the punctuation removes any ambiguity, having it after punctuation allows a lay reader to misinterpret what it is refering to.

Anyway, like that article says it's "not mandatory", I notice that today's featured article, Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, has it's citations in the style that I prefer, so what do we do? aLii 10:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No it's not really a big deal, I wasn't going to bother trying to revert your edit, but fair enough :) aLii 10:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your vote in the Esperanza Elections. Your support is much appreciated, and it means that I am now in the Council. I will continue to try my best, and if you have any questions or queries, please don't hesistate to leave me a message. Thanks again, — Fire Fox 15:26, 10 July '06

Many thanks[edit]

Smurrayinchester, thanks so much for your support in the Esperanza Elections! I truly appreciate it, and am honored by your confidence. I looking forward to help Esperanza run in a very Esperanzial manner! -- Nataly a 01:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I knew I would get round to it![edit]

I award Smur this barnstar for getting Nuclear power by country to featured level! H ig hway ^Batman! 16:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a list I know, List of significant others in Friends, or something like that it. But I think there should be something for more significant characters, since it has one shots in it (or I added them as a newb). List of recurring characters in Friends? Geller family line? List of neighbours in Friends? Be bold. ;) H ig hway ^Batman! 18:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's List of significant others of Friends, which is even more absurd. H ig hway ^Batman! 18:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charizard[edit]

Im trying to get Charizard up to featured status, it needs a little copyediting, would you like to help copy edit the article, cheers Minun ^(talk) 19:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I notices you've been doing it, thanks Minun ^(talk) 19:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Do you think its ready Minun ^(talk) 19:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, im not very good at copyediting myself, so i'll do other peer review tasks, cheers Minun ^(talk) 19:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has a lot of references, and its been cleaned up, do you think its ready yet? Minun ^(talk) 10:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the Characteristics section needs a few changes to, so I've got an idea how to improve that section, cheers Minun ^(talk) 13:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed the "In other media" section, it isn't needed, just an extra. Should I nominate it now or should I make further changes? Minun ^{(マイナン)} 13:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I noticed your still improving it, just tell me as soon as your ready Minun ^{(マイナン)} 13:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like if we add more it will push the limits of WP:SIZE. I better go for it now, if it needs further changes, if can be mentioned in the FAC Minun ^{(マイナン)} 13:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't ready, it looks good, but it's patchy. H ig hway ^Batman! 14:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The FACs looking bad, lets remove all unwanted information like HighwayCello suggested Minun ^{(マイナン)} 15:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me a few tips on how to improve the article, cheers Minun ^{(マイナン)} 18:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged the section now, please feel free to vote at the fac page: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Charizard cheers Minun ^{(マイナン)} 19:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything else I can do? Minun ^{(マイナン)} 19:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you have time, you can try to get some help, i've got to go now but i'll be back tommorow to see how the facs doing, cheers Minun ^{(マイナン)} 19:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for supporting, you've improved my wikimood Minun ^{(マイナン)} 10:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think theres aything wrong with using fan sites as references? because someone seems to have a problem, cheers Minun ^{(マイナン)} 15:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thats alright, as you said, serebii is a reliable site, and most of the sites used are complete, cheers Minun ^{(マイナン)} 15:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA[edit]

Sorry to irritate you, but I was testing around with User:Tangotango's RfA duplicate vote checker, and found myself compelled to remove two duplicate "votes" from your RfA, even if I'm not supposed to edit it.Blnguyen | rant-line 03:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks![edit]

I do appreciate the compliment! --evrik 15:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Move protection[edit]

Can you move protect Dorapion and Drapion, there's some conflict over the romanization between new users and Serebii. I don't know either way, but I think we should stick to what the sources say for now. Thank you, H ig hway ^Batman! 16:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. H ig hway ^Batman! 18:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

shifty eyes[edit]

Should I be worried that Minun is like becoming a stalker? He's add a <suppped> link to his talk page, like mine, and it's titled Spiderman. A Superhero. Like Batman. I'm worried. H ig hway ^Batman! 21:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, im not doing anything wrong, how is that WikiStalking —M inun ^Spiderman 09:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And I always had the supped link —M inun ^Spiderman 10:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*shifty eyes* Amazing how all the comments people left on my talk page were commented on. Funny that. H ig hway ^Batman! 13:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
