Help me

Is there any way I can view wikimarkup whilst I'm offline? Because I have a dial-up connection it would be really great, and I'd have less multiple edits fixing issues etc., if I had some local software on my pc to which I could pass some wikimarkup and see how it would display. Is there anything available?--Mcginnly 13:24, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can download MediaWiki from http://www.mediawiki.org/ and set it up on your own machine; you won't be able to see all the templates and other resources, but it will show you a rough estimate. Otherwise, I can't think of a way to do that. Cheers, Tangot a ngo 13:29, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work

On the re-catagorisation of T&CP Law to T&CP in the UK, which i think was your work? Bjrobinson 20:36, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Planning stub

Good work. --Singkong2005 ^{(t - c - WPID)} 11:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Town and country planning in the United Kingdom

Hi. I thought I would let you know that Cydebot is reversing your change of category names based on the move discussion you started at CfD. To avoid this problem you may wish to create a new category called Category:Town and country planning law in the United Kingdom and allow the old category to be deleted once the move is complete. Alternatively, you will need to contact the bot's owner and ask them to change its settings. Road Wizard 17:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IG Farben building

Good job on the translation so far; I picked up with the paragraph that you referred to on the article's talk page. It looks like sections "The Building" and "Myths" are yet to be started; I will also go over the existing text a few more times to flush out any additional errors that I come across and to improve style and readability. See talk page for more info. (Patrick 17:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Mcginnly, I've removed your reference to the "The Pharma-Cartel Is Jeopardizing Your Health!" from this article because that source is also pushing an agenda that is irrelevant to architecture of that building. It fails the Wikipedia:Reliable sources test in my opinion and should not be used. -- Netsnipe ^(Talk) 13:23, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture

Planning portal

Just thought I'd point out that there's nothing to stop us starting a draft portal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Urban studies and planning/Portal:Planning (or, say, User:Mcginnly/Portal:Planning) and seeking input from other editors.

Kudos on Deconstructivism

Just noticed Deconstructivism got on the main page. It raised some editor eyebrows, but also generated positive feedback and spread the word. The page is very much better now than when I first saw it, and a lot of that is your work. Congrats and cheers! -- M0llusk 22:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Architecture Portal

Various portals do it slightly differently, but the basic model to follow is the one used for {{POTD}} (the "Image credit" or "Photo credit" line). Kirill Lokshin 14:41, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expressionist architecture

I am thinking of sending expressionist architecture to peer review this weekend. It might be a good point to some outside opinions. What do you think? DVD+ R/W 21:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture query

Would this be considered deconstructivism? It is the main building of Yeshivat Har Etzion, a yeshiva in Israel. --DLand ^TALK 14:45, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your translation-work

Hi Mcginnly,

by accident I discovered, that you have translated three articles I wrote/started to rewrite for the German Wikipedia: Hans Scharoun, Der Ring and Arbeitsrat für Kunst. Thank you for doing this. Just to keep you informed: on the articles on Hans Scharoun and on Arbeitsrat für Kunst I wanted to go on with the work but couldn’t find the time and/or was a little bit annoyed by what is going on in the Wikipedia-community. Whenever (I hope soon, but I would like to read a little bit before doing so) I will do some additional work, I would like to inform you — if you don’t mind.

image size in Modern Buildings infobox

Hi Mcginnly, I'm using your infobox in Baden-Powell House, but the image comes out so tiny. Is there something that can be done about that? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 22:58, 13 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

This is indeed already much better. Perhaps I'm asking too much, but would there be a method where you can make it a 'fit to the width of the table'? If not, then this is fine, thanks. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 21:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

re: translation of Haus des Rundfunks

My pleasure mate. Exo314 16:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Urban Studies and Planning

I noticed that you desired to create a portal, and that you may have believed that you were required to go through an approval process in order to be allowed to create it. Just to let you know, there is no required preapproval process for portals. They are just like articles, in that anyone can create them at any time. The Wikipedia:Portal/Proposals page was posing as (or at least was being mistaken as) policy even though it was not. That page has been nominated for deletion, and the deletion discussion can be found at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Portal/Proposals. If your guess is that there will be sufficient readers who will find your portal useful, then you should feel free to create it. --Transhumanist
