Linking to category

If you wish to link to category, you need to use the following syntax: [[:Category:Category name]]. If you leave off the leading colon, it will add your page to that category, which can have undesirable effects :) You almost had your user page speedily deleted!

Oop! I'll fix =) — TheKMan^talk 23:13, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for improving the disambiguation link I created. It was my first one so I was going out on a limb there. KnowledgeOf Self | talk 06:23, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Subst tags

Hi there! I've seen you use some templates in RC patrol, and I'd like to make a friendly suggestion. Please use the subst: feature on things like the {{test-n}} messages that you leave in user talk. When you use it, it inserts the raw text ("transcludes") of the template into the talk page which in turn reduces the load on the Wikipedia servers. If you don't use subst:, every one of the templates on that page need to have their own server queries performed, and they all add up. Most vandal fighters have come to a consensus on using subst for these to help keep WP fast, thought you might want to know. The way to do this with a test3-n, for example, would be: {{subst:test3-n|Some article}} instead of {{test3-n|Some article}}. Thanks! - CHAIRBOY (☎) 07:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding me! I use subst tags occasionally, but sometimes forget. With a comment on my talk page, I think I'll remember from now on =) — TheKMan^talk 07:59, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, no problem! I still forget sometimes myself. Best regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 08:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Mooney

Kman- Thank YOU for the Mooney page. Just curious, what are you studying in college that you take to this so quickly? Crid 22:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm studying aerospace engineering, but I have broad interests. Frankly, I didn't really know about Paul Mooney before I found the page while on vandalism patrol. I decided to work on the page because I thought he really could use a proper article (when I read that he played Negrodamus, who I did know), and I really didn't want to see the article in the hands of a page hijacker. — TheKMan^talk 02:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kman- You may not exactly be a PM fan, but there's a short video iview with him on the NYT site for the next few days at the Magazine page. Click "The Lives They Lived" at top left; The Pryor remembrance is presently first in rotation. Link will rot this weekend. Crid 10:05, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kman, this is the text I posted to AndyJones' talk page... "Hi AndyJones. Just a quick word with regard to the Paul Mooney (blooger) thing. I hadn't realised that there was already a discussion going on on the matter. I was using CryptoDerk's vandal fighter and saw it come up. I took one look at it and thought "nonsense!". I'll try to be a bit more thorough in my investigations before marking as Afd in the future. So, thanks for setting me straight on the matter! Much appreciated! KC. 17:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)". I assure you it didnt even dawn on me that there was a discussion going on about it (especially not for so long!). I just saw it while on Vandalism Patrol and took one look at it and though "nn-bio, if ever I saw it!". Once again, I'll try to be more diligent in the future. Thanks!

Barry Wood

I would have written an article about Barry Wood (cricketer). If the current article is deleted, I would like to move the article about the cricketer to the Barry Wood space as most of the internal links are for him. Capitalistroadster 10:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I would support that. — TheKMan^talk 10:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for watching my user page!

Hi, KMan. Just wanted to thank you for the revert on my user page. Take care, —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-17 04:21:02Z

Thanks, and a question

Thanks for the welcome. I did an article from the Requested Article Page, The Transfer Act of 1905 Transfer Act 1905 , Do I remove it from the Requested Section. Also, I just noticed that the article title is , Transfer Act 1905, how do I change it to be, Transfer Act of 1905. Thanks CuBiXcRaYfIsH 07:24, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Yes, once you have created an article, you can remove it from Requested articles (or, it would be removed eventually by another user when cleaning the page up). Also, if you think the article could still be expanded some more, by yourself or someone else, you should also list it as a Stub. There are several options for the article title. The first would be to repost all the content into the new article and replace the content of the old one with this: #REDIRECT [[Transfer Act of 1905]]. This is a perferred option when you click on "What links here" and you see that other pages link to the improperly named article, so that anyone who visits the page would automatically be redirected to the correct page. The other option is instead of replacing it with a redirect, as the original author, you have the choice of listing it for speedy deletion. Place this tag at the top of the old page: {{db|your reason for having the page deleted}}, with your reason for deleting it (mention that under policy CSD G7, author requests deletion, and that new page with correct title has been created at "Transfer Act of 1905"), and an administrator will review your request and delete the page. If you removed its listing from Requested articles, you can list it for deletion, since it is the only page that links to the old article. — TheKMan^talk 18:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I went and looked through the different stub categories for quite a while, but I can't seem to find one that fits Transfer Act of 1905. I was looking for something along the lines of natural resources or legislation. CuBiXcRaYfIsH 07:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are three possible stub categories I found, US politics {{US-poli-stub}}, US government {{US-gov-stub}}, and Law {{law-stub}} (I think the US government one would be best). Using a general stub is also fine, {{stub}}, and stub-sorters will find a category for the article or create a new one (I found these stub related pages useful: Stub sorting and Stub types). Listing an article as a stub isn't always required, but use it if you feel an article is fairly short and could really be expanded upon. See you 'round. — TheKMan^talk 08:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "Hi David, regarding the AfD tag I placed on your article, you may wish to look over WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC regarding notability. Post any questions or comments you may have to my talk page. Best wishes. — TheKMantalk 09:01, 29 December 2005 (UTC)"

Thanks for your reply. I have released 2 CDs, was on tour in 3 countries this year, and am being played on major radio stations in Southern California. I started this page today so that the correct information would be on here, but if you think I don't qualify then I understand.
