Hello. You have been identified as having added or removed direct external map service links in articles[1]. There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:External links#Issues with inclusion or exclusion of map service links about which should be done, and some more opinions would be good to find community consensus. --Para (talk) 23:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Civilengtiger, welcome to WikiProject Civil Engineering!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles related to Civil engineering. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve Civil engineering-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Project-wide affecting discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, of which you are welcome to take part in.
  • If you're not sure how to help, take a quick look at our To Do list for ideas.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!


Welcome to the project, we're quite small at the moment but are gradually building up our numbers and we oversee quite a lot of related articles. I notice your good contributions to bridge and railway articles so thanks for that. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me through my talk page or through the project's. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 11:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Mulitple reverts in one action help

edit

I did that using rollback. (details here) Basically, if you are granted rollback, you get an extra option next to the "undo" button that allows you to revert all the edits by the most recent user to edit the page. If you want to request rollback, you can do so here. (If I was an administrator, I would give it to you myself; you should have no problem getting rollback in my opinion.) Also, just so you know, if you revert recent vandalism, you should warn the user about it on their talk page. (you can use one of the template warnings located on this page for less typing.) If they have no recent warnings, you should start with either a level 1 or level 2 warning. Usually, I start with level 1 for stuff like adding random letters to a page or signing their name and level two for stuff like blanking the page; but you can really use your own discretion on whether to start with level 1 or 2. If they do something really bad like vandalize Jimbo's page or a violent personal attack, there is a "one-time only" warning that you can use if you feel it is appropriate. If you go to a page with a level 4 warning on it that was not issued for the vandalism you reverted and was issued recently, you should report the user to WP:AIV and an admin will block them. Anyway, I hope that answers your question. Regards. Thingg 13:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've responded on my talk page, but seeing the above comment, I've also granted you rollback. Use it well (and only for reverting vandalism). - auburnpilot talk 04:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image alignment

edit

NOTE: Copied from AuburnPiIot's page, kept here so I can remember how to use the clear command

Just a friendly question for your consideration. I noticed in your recent edit of Helena, Alabama that you removed the extra spaces that I had added so that the thumbnail pictures didn't "break" the horizontal lines between major sections. It certainly isn't going to ruin my day, but is there guidance on the "aesthetics" of a page? I just think that visually it is more appealing not to have such pictures spill over into another, possibly unrelated, section. Your thoughts? Best wishes as always. Civilengtiger (talk) 03:20, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure if there's any real guideline on this issue, but WP:AWB, which I was using, always removes extra spaces. If the images are spilling into the sections below the ones they're supposed to be in, you can add {{clear}} to the last line of the section. This clears any formatting, and has the same effect of extra spaces, without worry of AWB blanking it out. I certainly agree from an aesthetics standpoint. - auburnpilot's sock 04:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey, thanks for putting up Freedom Park (Omaha). I've done a dozen of Omaha's parks and haven't got to that one yet. I added some pics, too, so its definitely a good stub now. Thanks again! • Freechild'sup? 18:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Did a screen capture using Paint Shop Pro of my screen with the image displayed on it, as well as the magnification I wanted. The did some cropping of the screen snap to come up with the image you saw, along with several others in the Alabama World War II Army Airfields list... Also thank you for your comment, it's appreciated :) Bwmoll3 (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Also, I can go back and get a larger, more detailed image ... I'll do that later on tonight, won't take but a few minutes Bwmoll3 (talk) 22:25, 22 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of nuclear research reactors, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages PBF and RMF. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
