Category request

I created the new category for media and started making changes to the articles with the fiction categories. Then it occurred to me that an alternative to moving everything from fiction and nonfiction to the media category is to have all three categories. The media category would be a parent category of the other two. Clearly fictional books and films would remain in the fiction category; same for non-fiction. But where the distinction is not clear, it would go in the parent category. What do you think of this idea? — ERcheck (talk) 08:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is everything as you would like with the categories? I see you put a redirect. Do you want them deleted as empty? — ERcheck (talk) 01:41, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

Article Rescue Squadron

I noticed that you are part of Category:Wikipedians against notability.

I would like to invite you to join the Article Rescue Squadron. Although Rescue Squadron members do not share any official position on notability, and are simply focused on rescuing articles for deletion, you may find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.

Caveat: I am writing this as a wikipedian, not as a representative of Article Rescue Squadron. Ikip (talk) 19:55, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

USMC pictures

Hey, why did you delete pictures from the USMC article? I think there still are not enough pictures, theres only lot of text...for example, you won't find any pictures of the woodland MARPAT in the whole article...There really should be more pictures, and I don't see any reasons for deleting them. --Novis-M (talk) 21:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I understand, but I still think there should be more pictures. When visitors of wikipedia just scroll down the page and look only at the pictures, they should see the "spirit" of the article. --Novis-M (talk) 21:29, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw what you did to my 2/9 article! Man, is it nice to always see you around, my brother. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • No, it didn't bother me at all on the contrary, I always look forward to your contributions because you have the talent of making good articles look even better. You have always been a good friend and I am just glad to see you around my brother. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Graphics Work

Lots of Barnstars

HOLY COW! I couldn't find a 'graphics barnstar' so please accept lots of barnstars for the lots of work you’ve done converting and replacing lots of images to SVG files. Ndunruh (talk) 13:48, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Hey brother, thank you for the new ribbons rack. I posted on my user page as you suggested and it looks great. Did you know that my Hispanics in the United States Marine Corps made "GA"? Not bad, right? Tony the Marine (talk) 16:41, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undid revision 272750570 by Marque1313 (talk) can you Cite that??, List of U.S. Marine Corps acronyms and expressions - BCG's

I was in the Marine Corps from September 1992-September 1998, stationed in Oki, Cherry Pt., Lejuene and others and heard the expression many times (BCG glasses-bitch catchers). Not to be out of line but why do YOU need proof and why did you delete it if I may ask? I do not have a history of making nonsense edits and it was not objectionable. I thought Wikipedia was a place where everyone shared information, not where we had to prove something that we have experienced to someone and then it may be approved (?). Keep it deleted if you wish, I just find the deletion kind of ridiculous to be honest.

List of Commandants of the Marine Corps

In the List of Commandants there are a number of sortable columns. I admit that I have no knowledge of how this works. Are you savvy on how to do some more common sense things with the sorting?

  1. Names of Commandants: Leave the names as they are displayed -- First Last, but sort on Last name.
  2. Rank: Now unsortable; is it possible to sort by rank, with secondary sort key by date of service
  3. Dates: Now sorting on the day rather than the actual date, in both columns; Do you know how to do a proper chronological sort?

BTW, check out the top item in the Portal News.

— ERcheck (talk) 13:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you figure it out, I think that the ranks need a secondary sort key (the # in column 1), since currently it doesn't sort well. It might make sense to remove sort on rank, since over time the ranks increased. Actually, it seems that the only items that it makes sense to sort on are the #s and the names. But, there is a problem when sorting on # for the entry with Archibald Henderson as acting. It has no number, so it doesn't sort well. Solution might be to have a hidden sort key that has a decimal in it to keep it in order. — ERcheck (talk) 03:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think I got it. The Sorting help certainly leaves a lot of room for documentation improvement. I finally tried <span style="display:none">SURNAME</span> in front of the names - seems to work. Did similar for Henderson's acting term. See if you can break it ;-) — ERcheck (talk) 14:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done - CMC, ACMC, SMCMC. Had to do something a little funky for the sort on rank sorting for General - since O10 would sort to less than O9. — ERcheck (talk) 17:54, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) You indicated use of leading zeros. How about when you have a O-9/O-10, what numbers would sort that to be higher than O9, etc. 0910 vs 09? would 0910 sort ahead to 10?

"I noticed that on the CMC page... putting a zero in front of the single digits will work... 08, 09, etc. instead of 8, 9. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 06:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)"

Thanks!

Forgive my tardiness, I've been a bit distracted recently. I do want to express my appreciation for the barnstar; it's so spinny and twirlly, mesmerizing me with its twirlerily spinniness...spinny twirlliness...just spinning and twirlering...(voice trailing off)...what was I saying...Oh yeah, thanks much!

USMC Commandant and Assistant Commandant Images

Yeah this is the same guy. I just thought a larger picture of the current Commandants might be appropriate. Sorry anyway.
