Treadmill crane

edit

Thanks for creating this article. I've already moved it once for better capitalisation, but it should really be at Treadwheel crane. Traditionally a treadmill was worked by treading on the outside of the wheel (which had floats like a waterwheel) whilst a treadwheel was worked on the inside of the wheel, as is the case here.

I've moved the article to Treadwheel crane per our correspondance. Linking to an article on the French wikipedia is easily done. For example, to link the Windmill article to the corresponding French article you add the code [[fr:Moulin à vent]] to the bottom of the page on the windmill article and use "add fr iwl" in the edit summary so that other editors know what you've done to the article. Any problems give me a shout. BTW, you added your message at the top of my talk page. Normal procedure is to add new messages at the bottom. No harm done, I've moved it to the Mills section of the talk page and retitled it. Mjroots (talk) 21:29, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Is fr:Roue de carrier the article you wish to link to? Mjroots (talk) 21:37, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I see you've worked it out, and linked back from the French article too. Good work. Mjroots (talk) 21:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Images

edit

I've fixed the image issue on the treadwheel page, and also the redlinks. Don't worry about being new and not being able to do everything at once. Think of Wikipedia as learning a new language. Learn a little, put it into practice, learn a little more etc. You'll find info about images and how to use them, change their position, size, etc at WP:FILE.
