I am not lobbying for Rastafarianism to be changed. That would imply writing messages to individual users I thought might be sympathetic to my cause, urging them to have a say. This I have not done. By opening the issue up to wider debate I am taking the risk that the consensus may not go my way, when I reckon the consensus was marginally in favour of changing the name before I took the article to requested moves. I did so in order to meer your demand for a wider debate, and in the light of your bitter opposition to the name change. Please refrain from making wild accusations, at least against me. --[[User:Squiquifox|Squiquifox]] 19:11, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

Tucson, Arizona and more
Hi. I saw that you voted on the RFC regarding Tucson, Arizona, and I thought you might be interested in commenting on a broader application of the formatting to other city articles. The discussion (for now) is at Talk: Tucson, Arizona#Other Arizona and nearby cities. (It might get moved to WikiProject Cities, if there's interest in doing so.) Thanks! kmccoy (talk) 02:31, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I have put Rastafarianism at Wikipedia:Requested moves as you suggested. --Squiquifox 01:42, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Mediawiki:CopyrightWarning
Do you normally need to scroll past the "Save page" button? Most of the stuff there is just boilerplate that you would normally ignore in the course of editing.
Actually, there's another reason to avoid using Lynx... it can screw up accented letters. One of your edits did that, if I recall. I'll try to look up the link. -- Curps 04:34, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- See your edit: [1], which turned ü to ue, Å to AA, and removed all other diacritical marks. I believe it was Lynx that did that... -- Curps 04:40, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Regarding the use of special characters by various languages, I replied in MediaWiki talk:Copyrightwarning -- Curps 04:40, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
OK, sorry, I thought you were actually editing the original table.
I guess the main question is, is it indeed a hardship for you while editing using Lynx? I would think that for routine edits you'd rarely need to scroll past the "Save page" button, since anything under there doesn't change from one edit to the next, but please let me know if there's something I'm not aware of.
Also the "seven lines" you mention refer to the total, no? In other words, there were something like 4 lines before and my extra special characters added 3 more lines? -- Curps 05:33, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It's not a hardship, per se, but more of an annoyance—moreso than the Javascript edit toolbar would be, in fact. I can live with it, but I think it certainly worth consideration. (And yes, that's seven lines total, if I wasn't clear.) A.D.H. (t&m) 06:24, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
- Apologies for butting in, but wouldn't it be possible to add something like the following to the style sheet for your preferred skin (User:Austin Hair/standard.css or User:Austin Hair/monobook.css or whatever):
- #siteNotice, #editpage-copywarn
- {
- display: none;
- }
- (I pinched this from User:Eequor/standard.css) This should disable the copyright warning message in the relevant skin. HTH. -- ALoan (Talk) 14:00, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- You might have a look at Lynx (browser). A.D.H. (t&m) 15:42, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
Lobbying
I am not lobbying for Rastafarianism to be changed. That would imply writing messages to individual users I thought might be sympathetic to my cause, urging them to have a say. This I have not done. By opening the issue up to wider debate I am taking the risk that the consensus may not go my way, when I reckon the consensus was marginally in favour of changing the name before I took the article to requested moves. I did so in order to meer your demand for a wider debate, and in the light of your bitter opposition to the name change. Please refrain from making wild accusations, at least against me. --Squiquifox 19:11, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
