Just noting
Template:Uncategorized
Hi, I can see you've added a lot of "{{Uncategorized}}" tags to tempates. This also adds the "Uncategorized" tag to the articles containing the template (See here, here, here). Please use "<noinclude>{{Template:Uncategorized}}</noinclude>" format, like i corrected here. Flying Saucer (talk) 01:07, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Please stop (and revert!) This is a terrible idea. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:55, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- Here's an example: {{Ireland Steam Locomotives}} (and many other similar nav templates)
- These templates and their redlinks have value to WP. They represent a structured naming system and most particularly the links between an article name and the short-form presentation of this article within its context. This is not a trivial choice, and it's by far best set-up by an editor (or small group) working on the template beforehand, so as to do it consistently and appropriately. Later editors may then create the article as time permits, but at least its naming will have some degree of appropriate structure and consistency. Stripping redlinks loses these suggested names. Article names for these complex nav templates are difficult, it's a bad move to push their creation onto a variety of article creators one-by-one.
- Look at {{LNER Locomotives}} for an even stronger example and the link
[[GCR Class 9F|N5]]N5. Without the redlink, how would the new article creator be guided to create under GCR Class 9F rather than LNER Class N5 ? Andy Dingley (talk) 10:36, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- I've raised some discussion of this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains#Stripping redlinks from navigation templates. If you can suggest a suitable forum re the redlinks project, that would be useful. Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 10:49, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Logo
Hello! I received an duplicate message about the VeriChip logo, but if the Verichip Corporation changed it name, this is new for me... This is the reason to delete the image right?! Well i think I fulfilled the request on wikipedia about non-free image anyway... I think that we can keep the logo as an old logo of the company, we can see many articles with old logos in articles... Thanks.

Dead Links
Except for URLs in the External links section that have not been used to support any article content, please do not do not delete a URL solely because the URL does not work any longer per WP:DEADLINK. Thanks Reubot (talk) 10:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Salvation Army userbox
Hi Kathleen,
Thank you for contacting me! I like the userbox you made. I used to have a lot of userboxes on my userpage, but I ended up getting rid of all the ones that weren't directly pertinent to my editing of Wikipedia. I therefore don't think that I'll use the Salvation Army userbox on my userpage. It's good to see that I'm not the only user in the "Salvationist Wikipedians" category anymore. I would love to see a Salvation Army-related article up to featured status; at the moment, we don't even have any that are at good status. I may pick one to work on eventually, but I have other things to be working on at the moment. On a separate note, I notice that your talk page is getting fairly long and likely difficult for some computers to load properly. You may want to check into this guide about how to archive talk pages so that this one doesn't get too unmanageable.
Happy editing,
