{{Stub}} comes before categories. -- Creol(talk) 01:36, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I still believe that it messes up the Categories listed at the bottom of the screen. It is much easier to have the categories before the stub, but if you insist, I shall stop. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 01:39, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the review. If I have time, I'll try to go back and finish up those articles by filling in the redlinks. And also as a little reminder, can you please don't edit an article while I am working at it. Because we always end up in an edit conflict which sometimes get me a little frustrated. But other than that, thank you:) --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:49, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I will try to remember that in the future. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 01:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, not a problem. Without that template in place, I would've edited the article as soon as it was put up. :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
If you will note, the RfD was closed after only 2 days with no input from any of the administrators and only a handful of comments from other users (only 1 long term user comments). Previous RfDs on numbers resulted in deletion due to them not being more than dictionary definitions. Whether all Wikipedia's believe they are needed or not (they are not on the list of Articles each wiki should have), the article must be more than a dictionary definition. Simple wikipedia is not a dictionary. A cleaned up shiny dictionary definition is still a dictionary definition. Also, on most of the pages you have included the link to SE:wiktionary although many of the articles have no SE:Wikt articles. As written, nearly all number articles are subject to deletion per this and this. Changes to this policy should be brought up on Simple talk to find if there is consensus for change. -- Creol(talk) 03:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
And as per the most recent RfD, Huji withdrew his request to have them deleted because of the fact that they were pages that most encyclopedias should have. All of the pages linked to the English Wikipedia have pages on the English Wikipedia, so therefore, they should exist here. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 15:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I have worked hard to make them not look like dictionary definitions. I am still working on them, but I am struggling to come up with any more information to put onto them. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 21:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure you'll notice I've gone through all the pages you are in the process of simplifying in your namespace and hidden the categories and interwiki. There are 2 reasons for this:
In the future, could you please make sure to hide these until you are ready to put them in the mainspace? Thank you. · Tygrrr·talk· 15:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I will make sure to do this in the future. I was actually going to go through and delete them all for the moment, but I guess that that was a better solution. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 15:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I use firefox, not IE, so your siggy is just an ordinary purple colour. Instead of brightred why not use red as the colour, this shows up in more browsers. It is the colour I use.-- Barliner talk 17:06, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Changed. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Both sections changed now. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Have you seen the canges I made to Dresden Univ. I think this is simple enough.
What do your use on vandal patrol, what about IRC? -- Barliner talk 17:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Can I ask why you warned this editor? For which contribriution? -- Barliner talk 15:59, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, meant to use test3a instead of test 3 :) I warned him for the stream edit that I was undoing at the same time as you. Meant to type in test3a instead of test3 :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about that then. My mistake :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 16:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
That's what the Commons and the English Wikipedia are for :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
If you want to leave a message like you did to User talk:163.150.237.63 can I suggest you say which article it refers to, this would remind the user about the context of the change. As this was an IP address rather than a registered user it may not be seen again, but if the tone is friendlier it may encourage the user to become a registered/regular editor- -- Barliner talk 15:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Sure, sorry if that sounded blunt. I will fix it right away :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 15:52, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Like all other admins, I have an email set in my proflie. I lasio have an Email-me button on my page (not the talk page, the other one). In other words, you do not need to know my email address to email me. --Eptalon 17:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Well, since I already posted what I wanted to on your talk page...-Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, It is good you care about the canton of Thurgau; Thurgau is the canton without cities, the biggest ones are Frauenfeld (22.5k), Kreuzlingen (17.5k, next to Konstanz, in Germany); Arbon (14k, on Lake Constance); Amriswil (12k); Weinfelden (shortly under 10k) and Romanshorn (9k). In all of that, Bischofszell, with its 5k is among the smaller communities. The local industry is Bischofszell Konserven (now belonging to Migros, makes jams, fruit juices, various cans, convenience food, among them Anna's Best)). While we have the artricle, look on Commons for some images. --Eptalon 22:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Bern City and Cat:Municipalities of Bern, so I suggested changed from "Cat:Berne to Cat:Bern to keep all spellings the same -- Barliner talk 00:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you can change it to that. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 00:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Done -- Barliner talk 00:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
It is best not to create empty cats. Your request to keep them might be missed and they end up being deleted. Best to wait until you have one or two entries to put in. (As I have been told myself :))-- Barliner talk 00:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Have already put an article into the cat, will be putting an article into the other one shortly. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 00:39, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Do you think the list in the WP:SAND looks easier to read?-- Barliner talk 01:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about jumping in on User:Razorflame/Municipalities of Switzerland4, numbers (#) are easier than (*)when sorting columns. Hope you agree. -- Barliner talk 01:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Razorflame; When I talk about municipalities, I think of notability. Here are some things that makes a municipality notable, in my opinion:
Put it in other words: If you are able to fill about half a screen with telling things about the place, which are not, that the place is next to A, B, C, and D; that is that many kilometers away from E, then the place is probably worth a mention of its own. Otherwise, group similar places into the district; if that is not enough, continue group things together, until you get "stubs" of at least like half a screen (potential article about 2.5k in size). Personally, I would start with one page per district; and when you see that the entry of a certain city starts growing move it out to its own page. --Eptalon 02:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
The reason I asked this is mainly because of the fact that the English Wikipedia along with 7-8 other sites have the same article in their database. Don't you want a lot of articles on this site? Wouldn't you think that the more articles a site has, the better? Also, every time I try to get an infobox from the English Wikipedia over here, it doesn't work. Could you help me make them work? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 02:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
What about hundreds of stubs that actually inform users on what a certain city is, as well as the location of that certain city. Also, if you create those stubs, wouldn't that give people more options for helping to expand each of them? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 02:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I got the infobox to work. It was the Template:Infobox Swiss town that needed to be created. I created it. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 03:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Most users do not like their page being changed by other users (except to revert vandalism). I have therefore reverted your change to User:Netoholic's page. --Eptalon 03:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Sorry about that. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 03:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I got the template working fine now. I also added the nocategory option (|nocategory=1) so the built-in category can be turned off in cases where the article is already in a subcategory of the one used by the template. The template now has a blank copy of all its feilds listed on its page which should work fine. Let me know if there are any other problems with the template.-- Creol(talk) 03:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help Creol :). That was the missing link that needed to be added to my municipality pages to make them more encyclopaedic so that they would be appreciated on this here site. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 03:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much. Also thanks for the extra barnstar:))) --§ Snake311 (T + C) 04:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
You deserve it for the work you've done. -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 04:05, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
for the barnstars. Cheers, // Lights // Bam! // 04:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Moved to User:Razorflame/Barnstars-Razorflame (contributions) Talk 04:27, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi you seem like a very good editor i wondered if you just could make an article on charlotte lindström on english wikipedia. you could just copy my article. would be very nice if you did. thanks--Sinbad 16:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I have moved this Barnstar to my userpage.
Thanks for the welcome. I have an account on English Wikipedia under the same name, and that takes up a lot of my time, so I may not be editing much here. Harland1 20:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I also have an account on English Wikipedia, only I just welcome users on that account :) -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 20:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
