User talk:Rjwilmsi

Danite123 (talk) 23:14, 3 December 2008 (UTC)Hi there, I’m researching an article about Wikipedia, and its editors. I wonder if you I could talk to you about Wikipedia, and how you use it, for a magazine about not-for-profit organisations. If you could spare some time and wouldn’t mind answering some questions by email or phone, please contact me on [email address removed for privacy], or leave a message here or on my talk page. Many thanks,[reply]

Notice

Hi there Rjwilmsi!
	Please accept this invite to join the Good Article Collaboration Center, a project aimed at improving articles to GA status while working with other users. We hope to see you there!

OK, I think I figured out how to approach this

I'm in the process of standardizing the headings, to the following heading:

Forest Rights Act article

Hi there. I undid your changes to the Forest Rights Act (India) article because I was not clear what the aim was, and in some cases - for instance on the section numbers of the Act in question - the changes were wrong, changing section 3(1) to section 31, 4(2) to 42 etc. Could you let me know what the idea behind the changes was? Then could reinstate them except the mistakes. Shankargopal (talk) 11:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was nothing wrong with my edit. Look at the references section in the marked up page before and after my edit: 6 duplicate references are combined (by using the named reference feature of mediawiki) to make 29 (rather than 35) and use the "1 a b c" mediawiki functionality. Thanks Rjwilmsi 12:11, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate refs

Thanks for your work on this - I think you have been coming across and fixing some of my early Wikipedia edits - I can now do dup refs but back then I didn't know how! Sterry2607 (talk) 06:38, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise - thanks for showing the way with duplicate references, I knew my work wasn't quite right and your examples will help my improve my other edits. Wikiwayman (talk) 11:49, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accessdate change

Hi there, I'm just curious what this edit was for. —Heavyboat (Talk) 17:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Accessdates use the ISO date. When the discussion at Template_talk:Cite_web#Arbitrary_date_format_change and date RFIs reach conclusion, the intention is to add a new parameter to specify the format of all citation dates – either per citation or per article.

Re: Here's a juicy one!

We've been picking away at the CIA statistics on the "Demographics of" articles, and we're almost to the point where we can specify simple straight-forward AWB search/replaces (pretty much just push the "save" button). It appears like it is going to take a lot of passes with AWB to get these done. Just your cup of tea.

I'll be in touch.

add {reflist} using AWB)

in future, i was wondering if you could omit the hidden text:  when adding the {{reflist}} to articles? it's probably enough to have it in the edit summary. --emerson7 18:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What would be the benefit of omitting the comment? Rjwilmsi 21:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi Rjwilmsi I believe you are pretty prolific using AWB for cleanup? I wondered if you could go through the Upazilas of Bangladesh and remove the line which plagues all of the articles on them "As of 1991 Bangladesh censusGR error: 1=Bangladeh". Example Dhamrai UpazilaCould you go through them and replace the first part of the sentence as As of the 1991 census,. let me know, thanks The Bald One ^{White cat} 21:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[1] What's with the removal of spacing? 86.44.18.218 (talk) 10:34, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
