In the "Chinese checkers" article (en) you added a link to the article Kinaskak (da), but this article does not exist. I killed your link because it is a dead link. If you plan to write an article in the dansk version, please add the link in the english version after you wrote it, in order to avoid dead links.

Anyway, I discovered this trying to view the dansk version: in the page http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinaskak I clicked on "søge efter Kinaskak" (http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciel:Search/Kinaskak) and i saw that skak means chess... but chinese checkers and chinese chess are not the same game: maybe you added the link to the wrong article in the english version. Please control it.

Thanks for that, I just assumed that Chinese checkers and Chinese chess was the same game, but now I remember that Checkers in danish isn't "Skak", but "Dam". My bad. Thanks for helping :)

I am currently working on my first article "Helgenæs, how do i catagorize it the article? Thanks in advance. Still new at this :)



By now, it is categorized (I saw you categorized it the day after: well done ;-).

Can I give you an advice? when you edit a page and want to see how it is, use the <show preview> button instead of the <save page button>, in order to avoid an uneusefully long history of the article (if you don't know that articles have an history, the link to it is on the top of the page: it's a very useful tool). Also, when you decide to save, if you made very few changes, there's the <this is a minor edit> square just on the <save page> button: it makes an m to appear in the history, and helps to find just the important changes. I advise you because I saw lots of changes in your article, which look like just attempts to make the category-sintax work ;-)

Hey,

Thanks for the advice. I know about the article history, but not about the "Minor Edit" button, thanks alot. I will try to cut down on my updates :-)

meh, sorry you have to be bothered with that guy... long story, ends with him being wrong so he isnt too happy. anyways, status time. the status changing is very cool and involves some javascript (a computer language). It makes it so there are 3 buttons for me to click (in, busy, out) and it automatically changes my status for me!

First the javascript that does that:

 // STATUS CHANGER
 addOnloadHook(function (){
 var subpage = "/Status";
 var scheme = "/StatusTemplate";
 var subpagelink = wgServer + "/w/index.php?title=User:" + encodeURIComponent(wgUserName + subpage);
 var logout = document.getElementById( 'pt-logout' );
 //Add the links
 addPortletLink("p-personal", subpagelink + "&action=edit&newstatus=in", "In", "pt-status-in", "I'm in!", "", logout);
 addPortletLink("p-personal", subpagelink + "&action=edit&newstatus=busy", "Busy", "pt-status-busy", "I'm busy!", "", logout);
 addPortletLink("p-personal", subpagelink + "&action=edit&newstatus=out", "Out", "pt-status-out", "I'm out!", "", logout);
 if (location.href.indexOf("&action=edit&newstatus=") == -1) return; //Are we here to auto-edit the status?
 //Get new status
 var statusRegExp = /&action=edit&newstatus=(.*)/;
 var status = statusRegExp.exec(location.href)[1];
 //Modify the form
 document.getElementById('wpTextbox1').value = "User:"+wgUserName+scheme+"";
 document.getElementById('wpSummary').value = "Status: "+status;
 document.getElementById('wpMinoredit').checked = 'checked';
 //Submit it!
 document.getElementById('editform').submit();
 });


you can copy that exactly and place it in your User:Bobber0001/monobook.js page (yea i knwo you prolly didnt even know its there! but it is! and its cool so save that. as you go around and meet other people you can see all the cool things javascript can do. there is also a script that gives you a button to click for vandalism... it reverts the vandalism and opens up the offenders page automaticially so you can warn them! its really neat but we can look at that once we master this.

so as well as that page you need to make two other pages. 1 = User:Bobber0001/StatusTemplate there you need to put:

 <span style="color:green; padding:5px">''My current WikiStatus:''</span> '''{{ #switch: {{{1|out}}}
 | in=<span style="color:green;">online</span>
 | busy=<span style="color:orange;">around</span>
 | out=<span style="color:red;">offline</span>
  }}'''

save that, now you have to press alt + ctrl + click refresh and then the three buttons should show up next to the log out button on the top right of the screen. click one of those and it will create the page user:Bobber0001/Status for you, fill it in and everything will be cool.

all you have to do is put {{User:Bobber0001/Status}} on any page you want it displayed! let me know if you have any problems with it. Matthew Yeager 14:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


try now

i see it on your page!!! it should be working fine now!!!

try it now ? Matthew Yeager 18:59, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

be sure to ctrl shift refresh and try coping this again exactly

// STATUS CHANGER addOnloadHook(function (){ 

 var subpage = "/Status";
 var scheme = "/StatusTemplate";
 var subpagelink = wgServer + "/w/index.php?title=User:" + encodeURIComponent(wgUserName + subpage);
 var logout = document.getElementById( 'pt-logout' );
 //Add the links
 addPortletLink("p-personal", subpagelink + "&action=edit&newstatus=in", "In", "pt-status-in", "I'm in!", "", logout);
 addPortletLink("p-personal", subpagelink + "&action=edit&newstatus=busy", "Busy", "pt-status-busy", "I'm busy!", "", logout);
 addPortletLink("p-personal", subpagelink + "&action=edit&newstatus=out", "Out", "pt-status-out", "I'm out!", "", logout);
 if (location.href.indexOf("&action=edit&newstatus=") == -1) return; //Are we here to auto-edit the status?
 //Get new status
 var statusRegExp = /&action=edit&newstatus=(.*)/;
 var status = statusRegExp.exec(location.href)[1];
 //Modify the form
 document.getElementById('wpTextbox1').value = "User:"+wgUserName+scheme+"";
 document.getElementById('wpSummary').value = "Status: "+status;
 document.getElementById('wpMinoredit').checked = 'checked';
 //Submit it!
 document.getElementById('editform').submit();

});

//


response

i'll look over the js again... its making me sad... its hard because i cant really see whats going on cause i cant like push your in out busy buttons to test it. you can always check out my pages to compare for your self as well. user:Matthew Yeager/monobook.js user:Matthew Yeager/Status user:Matthew Yeager/StatusTemplate


awesome topics of interest, alot of ours overlap. but one thing was scary... 

 Dimensions - Aren't they just awesome? And I'm not talking about three spacial and one time. I'm talking about numerous! It really annoys me though, that my ridiculous human brain is not able to comprehend how a four-dimensional world would be like.

you know we are currently living in 4 dimensions... right ? do you know what the 4th is ? lol, go check it out. Matthew Yeager 00:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sweet, glad you had an awesome party. let me know when your ready to combat this javascript some more :/ Matthew Yeager 05:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

Hi Bobber0001!

My name is Henrik, and i primarily use the danish wikipedia. I've noticed, that you have translated an article about Apartheid into danish. Is it possible for you to format the article to fit wikipedias standard? I've tried a bit, but it seems hard when you haven't translated it yourself. Maybe you have a picture or two also?

If you want to, you could make the article look very nice, and maybe nominate it for Featured Article of the Week? The possibilities are endless..

Notability of Epidermic menace

A tag has been placed on Epidermic menace, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornix 22:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never said the article was "offensive". I merely tagged it for not meeting wikipedia's notabilty standards. Did you read the linked pages above? Corvus cornix 22:37, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I didn't delete it, as I don't have that capability, I tagged it, and an admin did the deleting. Corvus cornix 22:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page

I am sorry. Would you please remind me of the name of the article which I deleted (because when they are gone an editor's name is not enough to retrieve them) and I will review it, discuss with you, and restore if appropriate.--Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
