Paullisa

Paullisa, Welcome to Wikipedia! I saw your edits to Icelandic horse -- excellent work. I'm glad we have you aboard, especially as translators -- you can see, we've plenty of work to do. I can only contribute some very poor German translation skills, so I try to recruit and encourage others with more ability than I have. :-) Anyway, I'm just leaving you a few useful links that helped me when I was new here. You seem to know how editing goes, but Wikipedia:How do I edit a page is sometimes useful. Questions can be asked in several places -- if it's a general question about how things work here, Wikipedia:Help desk is the place; a more complex question or one which is intended to spark dialogue in the community should go to Wikipedia:Village pump. If you just want some advice, thoughts, or maybe someone to look over changes you've made to an article, ask an editor on their talk page -- mine's at User talk:Jwrosenzweig and I'm always happy to help. I'd encourage you to look around and edit, but you already are -- good for you! Keep it up, and I hope to see your good work around here often in the future. Jwrosenzweig 16:55, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt welcome!

Actually, I do have a question (I'm browsing the FAQ, etc, but maybe you can help too. Is there a way to "turn off" the control-codes ("control-e" seems to submit an edit, for example) when editing? The ones provided clash with some local ones I have set up.

Hmmm, you seem to have found a question for which I have no answer. Not so helpful, am I? :-) This is an excellent question for either the help desk or the village pump (probably the former). The only sure solution I know of is to go to your preferences (at the very top of the screen) and select a skin other than Monobook (which I believe is the only skin that allows these hot keys), but I like this skin best for editing, so I can imagine you not wanting to do that. There's probably a command you can write in User:Paullisa/monobook.css to disable the control-codes, but that's as much as I know. Good luck, and let me know when you find the answer. :-) Jwrosenzweig 17:21, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

According to the "User_styles#Changing_access_keys" page at meta.wikipedia.org, one should add "ta = false;" to their monobook.js page (User:Paullisa/monobook.js); However, it's not quite working for me, yet.Lisa Paul 18:16, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

It seems to have worked, I think, after I "reloaded" the skin by going to my preferences page, and clicking the "save preferences" button, without changing anything.Lisa Paul 18:20, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Glad it worked out! Hopefully next time you have a question I say more than "ask someone else". :-) Jwrosenzweig 18:25, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the corrections. The you're mother error was just an oversight not a joke. Also, I think you may have meant but rather than butt in the post on my talk page. Butt has a very different meaning than but does, you may want to correct that. :) -JCarriker 04:43, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)

Oh dear me, the irony of typos in corrections. I will certainly fix that.Lisa Paul 04:54, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Update: no, actually, that is the correct verb. "Butt" as in interrupt. I never thought of that humour before: a goat butts with its head!

Since you put your name down as a spanish to english traslator, and since you say that you mainly do translations and editing rather than creating new articles, i thought you might be interested in the new Spanish translation of the week collaboration project. This weeks collaboration is Género chico.(Disclosure: this is a bit of a "mass mailing", I'm working my way down the list of Spanish-to-English translators.)

Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week

I would like to revive this project. I noticed that you've added yourself to the list of available Spanish-to-English translators. Are you interested in working on Spanish Translation of the Week? — J3ff 06:16, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Am seldom here

As evidenced by my late reply, I should probably be very low on the list of translators, for use in the "Spanish Translation of the Week". Lisa Paul 07:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Coincidence

I'm looking at Icelandic Horse, then I decide to see if I can keep a crawfish as a pet, and you just happen to pop up everywhere today. Just thought I'd point it out.Bryanedp9 00:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

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) 21:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
