Names

Yep, that's much better, though a couple of those names have already been mentioned. Also think sources; I know IP Freely is from The Simpsons, for example. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 06:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hagrid

Yes, it should probably be removed as well. It was late, and I didn't want to go whole hog on the article. Please, feel free to remove it as well, if you haven't already. Thanks for catching my oversight. :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yavneh Day School (Los Gatos, California) entry Updated by User:IZAK to meet Wikipedia standards- AJseagull1 (talk) 21:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Botany Series

Please don't add this. We already have a theme template on all the major pages. We don't need another one. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC) PS - the last template formatted like yours was very poorly received at WP:PLANTS. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apiologists

Have replied on my and the article talk page. The problem, if you think about it, is not with this article or these "notable" people but what would happen if Wikipedia went down the road you propose? Far less responsible editors will have a field day. Setwisohi (talk) 22:20, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is why it is important to have a line or 2 stating why the notable people are notable (especially if they don't have their own article). That way the wikipedia community can decide on a case by case basis. There isn't a consensus on wikipedia to blanket remove these people. Lots of lists include people who don't have their own page. For example: List of Harvard University people, List of people from Wyoming, List of biologists, List of chemists, etc. AJseagull1 (talk) 22:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will put some references on the page. to establish notability AJseagull1 (talk) 22:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Notable Myrmecologists

Sure. No problem. I plan on doing their biographies later. --Wloveral (talk) 19:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:SEAL schenectady.gif

Thanks for uploading File:SEAL schenectady.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference Question

{{helpme}} When referencing the same source for the second time in a wikipedia article, how do I make it show the same reference number as the first time the article was referenced? Please feel free to answer the question here on my talk page. Thanks so much! AJseagull1 (talk) 06:58, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You use a 'named reference'. Example;

Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook">
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section ({{reflist}}); please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result of that. Chzz ► 07:00, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that was fast. Excellent! Thanks Chzz! -AJseagull1 (talk) 07:09, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

A new user asked for help in getting some Wikipedians to complete this survey - anonymous, and only for research. If you have a few spare minutes, perhaps you could complete it. Cheers, Chzz ► 06:07, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Reflist Error Message

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I just edited the New way disambiguation page, and am getting an error:

Cite error: There are < ref > tags on this page, but the references will not show without a Reflist template or a < references/ > tag; see the help page.

I have Reflist on the page and can't figure out what the problem is. Also the last section "Towns" isn't showing up.

Please help. Cheers, AJseagull1 (talk) 21:20, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it. You closed with /ref> when you needed </ref> --SPhilbrick T 21:33, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - AJseagull1 (talk) 21:39, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the town problem. You had a leading space. That won't work. However, you have two redlinks on a dab page; I don't believe redlinks are allowed on Dab pages, although I'm not finding the precise wording I expected to find at Wikipedia:Disambiguation--SPhilbrick T 21:41, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

<-Sorry to undo all your hard work, but I found the language in Wikipedia:Disambiguation:

Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link;...

In addition, references do not belong in dab pages.--SPhilbrick T 21:48, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. Unless I am mistaken, The entry on red-linksin the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) allows the way I have it now:

"If the only pages that use the red link are disambiguation pages, do one of the following:

Unlink the entry word but still keep a blue link in the description. Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information. The linked article should contain some meaningful information about the term." AJseagull1 (talk) 21:57, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
