queer

I noticed that you made a few changes to Hurricane Dean. I don't understand your choice to replace some publisher= fields with work= fields, in some of the {{cite web}} templates. Can you explain that to me? Plasticup ^T/C 20:29, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (text formatting)#Italic face, newspapers should be in italics, and the "work" parameter in the cite templates automatically puts the text in italics. There are other journals in the Hurricane Dean article that also need to be italised, which my AWB programme didn't pick up on. Epbr123 (talk) 20:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "work=" field is for instances when the cited item is part of a larger work. If I were citing the day's paper then the specific article would be only one part of the larger work and the work= field would be appropriate. However the citation specifically identifies the individual article. I am citing the article, not the article within the periodical, so the publisher= field is appropriate.

If the article was found in a book rather than a newspaper, would you put the book name in the publisher field? Regardless of which field the newspapers belong, they still need to be italicised. Epbr123 (talk) 21:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then {{Cite web}} needs to incorporate a feature for that. "work=" has specific and purpose, and this is not it. Plasticup ^T/C 22:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism by 207.235.145.14

This is just to let you know that anonymous IP 207.235.145.14 has continued to vandalize (such as the three edits to Police officer on 22 September) even though you gave this IP a final warning for vandalism on 11 September. Please block this IP if you think it's appropriate. Thanks. JTSchreiber (talk) 02:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Protection

I would highly suggest protecting or semi-protecting you talk page because i see vandals have been 'experimenting' with it. Vinson 23:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to, but it's best not, just incase one has a legitimate complaint. Epbr123 (talk) 23:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
