HELP!!

I added a photo to the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary page that I took today. Everything was correct except the size. When I tried to adjust the size, it disappeared. Could you fix it for me? Thanks again!! Michaelh2001 (talk) 21:49, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Never mind! Got it! Michaelh2001 (talk) 21:56, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Glad you got the problem resolved. And nice photo. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Four

I did some mild editing to the page for Four (drink), but it still needs work. I removed a sentence (that was oddly placed btw) that said a can of Four Loko was comparable to an "average bottle of wine". I mean, who is to say what an average bottle of wine is, or if this drink is similar? I also created a redirect for "Four Loko" bringing visitors to the main Four (drink) page. I also thought that Four Loko should be its own paragraph. Anyway, I'm satisfied with those changes. My problem is the tone of the article reads like an advertisement, and has other issues. Could you suggest some changes?

I don't mean to pester you with every edit, (and I don't! LOL) but what are your thoughts on this page? I'd like to see the article improve, but am unsure how to proceed. Thanks... Michaelh2001 (talk) 03:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Mike. I don't see it as pestering... it's collaborating... ping me anytime. I mean it.  :) As for the article, it is interesting. Your edits improved it, and you're right that it could use further attention so I just did a little work on it myself. What do you think? Happy Mem W/end! --Rosiestep (talk) 21:57, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

• Thanks for getting back to me. I saw that you heavily edited the article and it is much, much better! I added some "edit" templates to Corexit, as its tone and style is all wrong. Hopefully someone with knowledge of the subject will jump in there. Thanks again! Michaelh2001 (talk) 16:09, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Calvià

Hello! I wondered if you'd be interested in helping translate this beast from Spanish wiki? I'm hoping to get a few of us working on translating it to share the load. Its a gem of an article on Spanish wiki. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 18:29, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Sure; I'll give it a go. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Excellent work. Calliopejen did start a google toolkit translation on it but I found it too much to try to look at the whole article at once. When I have time I'll continue translating sections to it. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 16:29, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Light "house keeping" help

I am having a little trouble with the discography table on the page I created recently, Cali Swag District. I'm happy with the article overall, and have established notability, etc. But I can't get the discography table to locate itself above the external links section. Does it always put a table at the bottom? And the border is missing from the bottom of the table. If you fix it, could you tell me what you did so that I can get it 100% next time? Thanks!! Michaelh2001 (talk) 16:30, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

I made a few changes that correspond with WP:MOS, detailed in the edit summaries. I'll look at other discographies later to see how they're set up to include a bottom border. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Looks great, thanks for the help! I had added the cat "dance styles" because the group is known for their "Dougie", but in retrospect you are right, that would only apply if someone created a page called "Dougie (dance)", which I don't believe is necessary. Thanks again for everything! Michaelh2001 (talk) 15:14, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can muster to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you? If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ ^Talk! or Diannaa ^TALK of who your referrals are. Once again, thanks for your support! --Diannaa ^TALK 20:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
