I mainly deal with Hindu people and bios and what not. I'm not amazingly knowledgeable on philosphical things. Perhaps a quick yell at the Hinduism notice board may yield some results. Also User:Raj2004 or USer:Saiva suj may know a bit as well.Bakaman 20:11, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Great work on Robert Irwin edit

Hi-

Great contributions to the bibliography of Robert Irwin.Dogru144 18:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi there edit

I saw your recent edits to Larry Johnson where you added his name to one of the cat. pipes. I removed it because it is essentially "repetative text". The {{DEFAULTSORT}}template does that automatically for all category pages. Let me know if you have any questions, i've marked this page for watching so you can just respond here and i'll see it. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  07:56, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

re: Johnson edit

Hi. Yes, I was looking at the People from Centre County or whatever page, and thought if I adjusted the cat. pipe I'd be able to make it read "Larry Johnson" and not "Larry Johnson (American football)". Didn't work, though...

I'm hoping I remember that defaultsort command. Would come in useful.

  • That's something that a lot of people think about category tags - i used to be one of them. For example [[Category:National Football League players|Larry Johnson - RB]] wouldn't make it display any different. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  08:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Ps - if you have any other technical questions about wiki, just hit me up on my talk page. I'm far from an expert, but i usually know where to find the information or people that do know the answers. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  08:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Harvey Flink edit

 

The article Harvey Flink has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

By its own admission, does not meet WP:BIO

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Briag edit

Could you please add some references to Briag? There are none at the moment, which is a problem for verifiability. Since they're a saint, I'm sure sure they're notable but if you would add whatever references you used to start the article rather than leaving it for new editors to repeat that research, it's probably more efficient. › Mortee talk 02:07, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ditto for Goulven of Leon. I don't propose to go diving for others. If there are more in the same state, you probably remember them. › Mortee talk 02:11, 23 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
The references are in the French Wikipedia article. I'll try to remember to transfer them over. Ansat (talk) 04:28, 24 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Great, thank you. › Mortee talk 11:27, 24 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for adding references to Goulven of Leon. The one source you've added for Briag, though, is a wiki. It does need some reliable sources. Separately, I just came across Albert Le Grand (writer) doing new page review. The one secondary source is this dead link but also it looks like a translation of fr:Albert Le Grand (écrivain). Could you please read and follow these instructions for future translations? It's fine to translate from other Wikipedias (though unsourced articles are at risk), but it needs to be acknowledged for licensing reasons. I've put a link in an edit summary and added a template to the talk page, which is all it takes. Thank you for the work you're doing to expand our coverage in this area. › Mortee talk 10:29, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
