I accept

I accept your offer to adopt me. --Buzz 22:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Comperr. I guess most of my questions are about the technical process of editing. I should probably just sit down and play with all the formatting buttons and whatnot, but I suppose I get impatient, and I want to have the same understanding of Wikipedia formatting that I have of Microsoft Word (without the years of experience... :) ) --Buzz 17:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I replied on your talk page. I do need to figure out a beter way to communicate

Your Edits to Conservative Judaism

You have been adding unsourced, POV edits to Conservative Judaism in the introductory sections. The issue isn't whether Conservative Judaism's claims are right or wrong, the issue is Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy doesn't permit editors to state that a religious denomination's religious beliefs are false as part of the introduction to an article on that denomination. See Criticism of Conservative Judaism for more information about criticism. You have been previously warned about this, we can read the parts of your talk page you deleted. Please be aware that repeatedly doing this after being warned is considered Vandalism and can result in your getting BLOCKED, as has happened before. Also, erasing warnings from your Talk page is also considered vandalism. Please discuss your disagreements with the article on the article's talk page, Talk:Conservative Judaism. --Shirahadasha 02:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI I posted a reply on your talk page. I am also going to add that if you look THERE WERE SOURCES to most of the additions. To the ones that had none I was going on the sources ones. Comperr 00:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I agree there are plenty of sources who say Conservative Judaism's behavior isn't consistent with its statements. There are a number on the Criticism of Conservative Judaism article and I've personally added some of them. You're welcome to add more. Nonetheless, Wikipedia's policy entitles Conservative Judaism to say what its beliefs are, and it believes it is behaving in accordance with Halakha as it interprets it. Wikipedia has to report this belief, along with others who disagree. I personally don't really like splitting off the Criticism section into its own article. I seems to me something of a POV fork. However, it seems to be a common practice in religion articles, see e.g. Criticism of Judaism, Criticism of Christianity, Criticism of Islam. Since Wikipedia seems to accept this approach in articles on religion generally, there's no reason not to permit here. Best, --Shirahadasha 05:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I quote conservative leaders that say there own religion does not follow the accepted hallakah. This is not criticism but actually part of their religion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.168.160.116 (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Ratepayers Party in the UK Template

I have just noticed that the Ratepayers (who control Elmbridge council in England) do not have a template and was wondering if you could create one for them. Their registered name is "Ratepayers" and their registered party colour is cyan. Harry Hayfield 11:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yo Master...

OPV request

Hi there. This is in response to your request on my talk page to be added to the OP verified user list. I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline your request as you don't meet the minimum 400 mainspace edit minimum requirement. I hope you understand that we have to be quite careful who gets mention on that list, and it's necessary for all members to be both fully competent in verifying open proxies *and* in WP policies and practice. Please, keep on doing what you're doing, and if you're still interested after you've spent a month or so more editing the wiki, don't hesitate to ask again. Thanks. AmiDaniel (talk) 07:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, sure. Thanx for letting me know why I was declined. -I should also point out that thisuser is a sock for anon edits.

JavaScript not working properly

Hello. One of the scripts in my monobook.js isn't working, and I was wondering if you could help. (I'm asking you because your userboxes say you're an expert at JavaScript and Wiki markup.) The problem is with the Twinkle script, which I installed recently. Basically, none of the buttons work, and they all give various error messages when I click on them. I use Windows XP Home Edition and my browser is Mozilla Firefox 2.002. If you have time, could you take a look at the JavaScript for Twinkle and/or my JavaScript to see if there's something wrong with the script or if one of my other scripts is incompatible?

Also, if it would help, you can look at my discussion with the script's creator, AzaToth, when I asked him if he knew what was causing it. I've already tried purging the server cache and bypassing the browser cache, and it doesn't help. Another strange thing about this is that on another computer I often use with Firefox 1.0, the user warning, restore version, and speedy deletion functions work, but the rollback buttons and other things don't. Thanks, Pyrospirit ^{Flames Fire} 15:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I will look into it in a bit. I am a little busy now.

Could you help?

I am trying to set up a small wiki for me and others on this messageboard I post at. I wanted to use Template:Infobox CVG and figured that my wiki is the same type as Wikipedia, I could just copy it. However, it's not working: [1], could you maybe help? TJ Spyke 09:00, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

sure

please give me more details Comperr 03:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Help? Templates as pseudo-php pages...?

Hi, I'm currently trying to knock together a template that operates a bit like a php page, and can't work out how to do it! I wonder if you'd mind seeing if you could suggest anything?

What I want to be able to do is to link years to geological time. I use the template

{{Ma|599.9}}

to produce text like 599.9 million years ago, and I want the number to link to a second template, which produces this:

Timeline

This timeline shows how 599.9 million years relates to the planetary timescale.

599.9 million years ago↓

Millions of years ago

However I only want a link to the timeline - it shouldn't be displayed in the article! So can I generate a link to a page Template:ShowMa?yearsago=599.9 that will generate the template with the specified digits? Or will I have to create a separate page for every year of Earth's long history?

Many thanks!

Verisimilus 13:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes you can

Just use Template:Ma/599.9

Wow! That was far too easy. Thanks a lot! | Verisimilus 05:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
