Nuclear power by country

edit

Hi, could you mark Poland as a country "Considering first plant" on the Image:Nuclear power stations.png? See the Nuclear power by country article for details. Mieciu K 10:30, 30 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Thank you in return you can look at the pictures of an article about an unfinished Polish nuclear power plant pl:Elektrownia Jądrowa Żarnowiec. The construction proces was halted because of protests in 1990 after communism in Poland ended because nobody asked the public for their opinion or adressed their post-chernobyl fears.

Tip of the day project update

edit

Just trying to get things better organized around there. Toward that end, I've created a task list template for the project. If all the contributors to the project placed it on their user page, we could all keep in touch more easily (with announcements, alerts, etc.). It, and the latest announcements can be found at:

Unicode problems

edit

Yes, the text editor I was doing the regular expression replacements in had problems with unicode, and I don't have Eastern fonts installed, so I didn't notice until much later. Apologies. ed g2stalk 12:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

A line has been crossed

Cross posted to User talk:A Man In Black

Okay, I've been sent a letter from Minun (or Poke Fan's, since Minun has fell off the bandwagon) "feather" (yeah, I think he was shooting for "father") and well it's weird. It's here, I'm not even copying it over, it isn't worth it. It must be his IP, he may have a rotating one, I don't know what it is. If you could talk to him it would be great. Thanks, troubled Highway Batman! 16:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Well people seem to forget he never dealt with his block. Highway Batman! 17:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Check out my comments here, Wikipedia awards committee. Thanks! --evrik 17:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hallo and can you do me a favor?

edit

Hi Smurray! Just dropped in for a quick check. Non-virtual life's a bit busy nowadays so I get very little time for WPing. Hope everything's well with you.

Anyway, could you do me a favor? Some bloke moved Joaquin Maria Gutierrez to Joaquín María Gutiérrez with all the fancy accent marks above the name, which are unnecessary and indeed superfluous as we Filipinos jettisoned those nearly a century ago. Would you move it back to the original page, please? I'd post the request in the appropriate section, but with all the hustle and bustle going on here every day, it would most likely not be noticed and the problem would probably still be there after a month. And yes, it is quite important. Thanks and cheers! Igor the Lion(Roar!) 12:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You bastard! :D

edit

I wanted to move it! :( PS: Good episode, don't you think? Will (message me!) 18:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

If they commision a 3rd special, I want to move it! And if you do, I'll keel you! Will (message me!) 18:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

References

edit

Can you point me to the exact link? I'm scanning the MoS, but don't see the bit you're refering to, cheers, aLii 10:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough, but that's certainly not how references are cited in scientific papers! Putting the citation within the punctuation removes any ambiguity, having it after punctuation allows a lay reader to misinterpret what it is refering to.
Anyway, like that article says it's "not mandatory", I notice that today's featured article, Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, has it's citations in the style that I prefer, so what do we do? aLii 10:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
No it's not really a big deal, I wasn't going to bother trying to revert your edit, but fair enough :) aLii 10:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I award Smur this barnstar for getting Nuclear power by country to featured level! Highway Batman! 16:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

There is a list I know, List of significant others in Friends, or something like that it. But I think there should be something for more significant characters, since it has one shots in it (or I added them as a newb). List of recurring characters in Friends? Geller family line? List of neighbours in Friends? Be bold. ;) Highway Batman! 18:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's List of significant others of Friends, which is even more absurd. Highway Batman! 18:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Charizard

edit

Im trying to get Charizard up to featured status, it needs a little copyediting, would you like to help copy edit the article, cheers Minun (talk) 19:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I notices you've been doing it, thanks Minun (talk) 19:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Do you think its ready Minun (talk) 19:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Alright, im not very good at copyediting myself, so i'll do other peer review tasks, cheers Minun (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
It has a lot of references, and its been cleaned up, do you think its ready yet? Minun (talk) 10:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Looks like the Characteristics section needs a few changes to, so I've got an idea how to improve that section, cheers Minun (talk) 13:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I just removed the "In other media" section, it isn't needed, just an extra. Should I nominate it now or should I make further changes? Minun (マイナン) 13:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I noticed your still improving it, just tell me as soon as your ready Minun (マイナン) 13:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
It looks like if we add more it will push the limits of WP:SIZE. I better go for it now, if it needs further changes, if can be mentioned in the FAC Minun (マイナン) 13:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

It isn't ready, it looks good, but it's patchy. Highway Batman! 14:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

The FACs looking bad, lets remove all unwanted information like HighwayCello suggested Minun (マイナン) 15:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Can you give me a few tips on how to improve the article, cheers Minun (マイナン) 18:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I've merged the section now, please feel free to vote at the fac page: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Charizard cheers Minun (マイナン) 19:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is there anything else I can do? Minun (マイナン) 19:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
If you have time, you can try to get some help, i've got to go now but i'll be back tommorow to see how the facs doing, cheers Minun (マイナン) 19:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for supporting, you've improved my wikimood Minun (マイナン) 10:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Do you think theres aything wrong with using fan sites as references? because someone seems to have a problem, cheers Minun (マイナン) 15:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thats alright, as you said, serebii is a reliable site, and most of the sites used are complete, cheers Minun (マイナン) 15:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

RfA

edit

Sorry to irritate you, but I was testing around with User:Tangotango's RfA duplicate vote checker, and found myself compelled to remove two duplicate "votes" from your RfA, even if I'm not supposed to edit it.Blnguyen | rant-line 03:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comment. Large scale modifications have taken place since you made it. For more details, please refer to the link above, and to the article itself. :NikoSilver: 12:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Move protection

edit

Can you move protect Dorapion and Drapion, there's some conflict over the romanization between new users and Serebii. I don't know either way, but I think we should stick to what the sources say for now. Thank you, Highway Batman! 16:27, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Highway Batman! 18:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Should I be worried that Minun is like becoming a stalker? He's add a <suppped> link to his talk page, like mine, and it's titled Spiderman. A Superhero. Like Batman. I'm worried. Highway Batman! 21:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey, im not doing anything wrong, how is that WikiStalking —M inun Spiderman 09:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
