When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. - CobaltBlueTony 20:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh but you did! You placed {{db-attack}} instead of {{subst:db-attack}}.- CobaltBlueTony 20:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)So, then, we need a similar tag for article pages...- CobaltBlueTony 20:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

International Space Agency
editYou visited our new listing international Space Agency (ISA).
All information is correct.
We are open to any feed back, however, please be aware that at present there is an all out effort by powerful government agencies, and agents, who have spread massive amounts false information and propaganda to unsuspecting people, to cause harm to the ISA organization and its people.
We are legitimate.
Also, be aware that if you do a search on the internet for "International Space Agency" you will find years and years and layers and layers of false information, propaganda, and manufactured lies about the International Space Agency (ISA) Organization, and our Founder, Mr. Rick R. Dobson, Jr. People have even used Mr. Dobson’s name on the internet, pretending they are him, when in fact they were not, and this has caused major problems! Also, these same government agents have been sending out hundreds of emails, looking as if it has come from the International Space Agency (ISA) Organization, when in fact these emails did not come from the ISA Organization, and were intended to cause harm and to deceive people. These are ongoing problems, which the ISA Organization is constantly fighting against.
Just want to set the record straight before any false information or propaganda is taken as fact, and cause problems to unsuspecting people.
Thanks. ISA Global Team. (402) 299-2799 [email protected]=

List of Donegal People
editI have removed the {{prod}} tag from List of Donegal People, which you proposed for deletion. I am leaving this message here to notify you about it. First of all, the article was previously de-prodded, and PROD tags should not be replaced after being removed. Second, I think this deletion might be controversial; see Talk:List of Donegal People for my rationale. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to it. Instead, feel free to list the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! Mangojuicetalk 15:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've seen that kind of thing happen a couple of times. I even saw a bot re-prod an article that way once! I think this is a funny kind of situation: the blanking usually happens because the main author agrees with the deletion, but blanking is typically reverted, and it technically removes the PROD tag. I'm going to bring this up on Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion, actually. Cheers! Mangojuicetalk 15:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended
editHello,
Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.
Thanks! -- Where 18:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Jubilee
editYes, the Jubilee Line did open in 1979. However the actual railway it now occupies was opened in 1879 which was on the Metropolitan Railway. It then went through a series of changes between companies and then lines on what is now the London Underground (most notably the Bakerloo Line) before finally becoming the Jubilee Line. THEREFORE the railway section opened in 1879. There is a big difference in naming the Jubilee Line opening dates and when that section of railway actually first opened.

You recently hid an image on this page because you were unsure of it's copyright status.

Hello. The guideline on redirects specifies that template tags should be "one space after and on the same line as #REDIRECT." Is there some particular reason you have disregarded this and broken hundreds [1] of properly tagged redirects? --Kralizec! (talk) 20:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, that makes more sense now. Per my request on the administrators' noticeboard, the admin Tito did a rollback on all 295 of the redirects you attempted to fix in {{R_with_possibilities}}, so they are all fixed now. Thanks for letting me know what happened. --Kralizec! (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I do see that they were in good faith, so you're not in trouble. IIRC, the developers have indicated that the only way the redirect explanations actually work is when they are placed on the same line as the redirect; however, they work even when not there because that's an unenforced rule in the software, subject to change at any moment. About the double redirect listing: that probably is a bug. I'd recommend dropping a note at the technical village pump so more users are aware of it, and the developers notice it.

Español or português?
editYou're not alone! A couple of pointers - Portuguese may contain characters like ã, ç and ê while Spanish doesn't. (a -ão ending on a word, as in "São Paolo" is very Portuguese). Spanish has ñ. Portuguese says "um" "uma" and "do" where Spanish correspondingly has "un" "una" and "de". Cheers. Tonywalton | Talk 17:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

editIn future, please use the standard template warnings listed at WP:UTM so you can include links in them, especially {{attack|article}} because once an attack page is deleted, they're no longer listed in a user's contributions and so it's quite hard for the next administrator looking at the same user to figure out what's going on.

Series 1 redirect question
editDo you want to keep the redirect from Series 1 to 'on the buses'? It doesn't make sense to me but may to you. Series 1 can also refer to a computer system so I am creatting a disabiguation page. Lbecque 16:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Series 1
editYou created the redirect page located at: [2] which links to the TV show On the Buses
I have created a disabiguation page at: [3] and included your reference to the TV show.
Can we delete your redirect page? Is the reference from Series 1 to On the Buses still valid or a mistake that I can delete? Lbecque 18:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Series 1 edit complete
editI'm not sure what you meant by 'Ah, That edit, It can go from it and the disambig based on the history,' but here is what I did: Searching 'series 1' now redirects straight to the minicomputer page At the top of that page is a link to the Series 1 (disabiguation) Within the disabiguation page is your original link to the on the buses TV show and your coment about other possible uses.
If that is not what you meant please feel free to make the edits yourself. Thanks, Lbecque 18:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

- Hi, if you're referring to User:Qxz/Redlinks, you can safely ignore the fact that it's linked from there. I don't update it every time someone creates a page, otherwise I'd be here all day; rather, I run a script every once in a while to remove them all at once. The purpose of the list is mainly to assist me in redirecting article requests to articles that already exist under a slightly different title, which helps to reduce the size of Wikipedia:Requested articles; it also serves as a list of recently created articles that I can check for style, without having to wade through Special:Newpages.

Draft Podcast script
edit"Robin Utterback, a contemporary artist from Houston, Texas, specialized in abstract works of art.
Born in 1949, Utterback, a graduate of Rice University's bachelor of fine arts program, created several works of art on display in museums in Houston, New York City, and other locations throughout the United States and the world. Utterback created many untitled works bearing pale colors, loose lines, and various Cubist influences.
Several of Utterback's works found display cases in many Houston museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and the Menil Collection. Donahue/Sosinski Art, a gallery in New York City, also displayed several works by Utterback.
Utterback's career ended after a March 29, 2007 fire. At around 6:30 P.M., a fire started at a metal warehouse near the Montrose section in Houston. Rescuers extracted Utterback from the building. Utterback died of his injuries on March 30 at the Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center."

Podcast Thermopylae
editHi oldwindybear
Our podcaster posted his question on Talk:Battle of Thermopylae#Persian situation prior to battle. Any clues what the situation was or where one might look it up?
Greetings Wandalstouring 10:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Wandalstouring Greetings my friend! Victor Davis Hanson has done an excellent analysis of the battle, and the situation before the Battle, and another good source is the book THE SPARTANS by Paul Cartledge. It is a really wonderful glimpse into the culture that produced the warriors that marched to the Hot Gates. It gets a little detailed, but what he seeks is there. How are you doing, and is there anything I can work on for you? old windy bear 23:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Planned podcast based on the article once certain issues concerning the article and content issues are resolved.
Take a look at Battle of Artemisium. If I understand it correctly, a possible interpretation for the battle of Thermopylae is that a small unit(the bigger an army the slower it moves)surprisingly held off the large Persian army, while the fleets fought. The idea was to defeat the Persian warships and thus force them to reduce their army because they would no longer be able to supply it sufficiently by sea. Wandalstouring 11:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
