User talk:Edwardmking

Hi: if you add something, ANYTHING, to your user page then your name will appear in blue and not in red and youn will gain some credibility, which is a good thing. Carptrash 08:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC) PS I notice that you added co-ordinates to my picture of the statue in Waldheim Cemetery, as well as a bunch of other Chicago places. Are you a Waymarker? Carptrash 08:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I thought that perhaps

the "mking" part of your name was a reference to Waymarking, which is a GPS group that I just learned about and an trying to figure out what the heck it's about. Anyway, it is here. http://www.waymarking.com/default.aspx?f=1. Check out some of the Chicago group stuff on wikipedia, there is a lot. I've posted a fair amount of Chicago pictures because I used to visit there on and off, them my daughter taught in the Chicago Public Schools for 5 years. Oh yes, always sign anything you do here with 4 of these ~ It signs your edit and time and dates it. Sort of like longitude and latitude, but different. Carptrash 03:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, well that was the other possibility for your name. I used my regular name on the internet for many years and then Carptrash sort of arose out of a series of odd events that I'll tell you some evening over a six pack. I hope to see some of your pictures here soon.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
