I noticed that you created the article Bebe Moore Campbell and tagged it with the {{substub}} template. This template recently failed a vote at WP:TFD and is scheduled for deletion. The article you created has been sorted, but when time comes for you to create another article please use either {{stub}} or an approriate category specific stub template. --Allen3 ^talk 21:34, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

1911 x 2004

Hi, thanks for getting involved in the 1911 and 2004 lists. However, I don't think it is necessary to remove the "blue links" manually. I have a script that can run through the "original" lists (e.g., Wikipedia:2004 Encyclopedia topics) and create the list of overlapping topics. I intend to run this from time to time (maybe once a week) and replace the lists on "my" pages.

Thus, it would be more effective if you'd remove the blue links from either (or all) of the "original" lists. But, AFAIK, this is also done by script... Thanks anyway, Magnus Manske 16:46, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Encarta list 2

Thanks a lot for doing this! --Magnus Manske 06:58, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

Crossover lists

Hi, I would like to create additional crossover lists; unfortunately, I didn't take the skript with me on vacation, so it'll have to wait two weeks. --Magnus Manske

Search functions

Not a bad idea to add the search functions to the pages for which you have done so, but some of the later pages have many more entries, and the search function would slow loading. Cheers! -- BDAbramson ^talk 16:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Section 18 is short - the search function would be helpful there. -- BDAbramson ^talk 21:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, thank you - you're doing great work here! -- BDAbramson ^talk 15:17, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic and EB1911 links

I've noticed your adding macros for these. This should only be done if the Wikipedia article used them as a source. Many times they are simply just "further reading" or "external links" and not actual article references. It is also better to keep the direct link to the article for Catholic Encyclopedia articles so users can click on it and read it. Stbalbach 15:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certainly not using a macro for that. As part of the Catholic encyclopedia project, I am checking against the content of the wiki and the article before I add the tag. I have looked over several hundred entries in wikipedia that are also covered by the Catholic encyclopedia and have added less than 10 tags.

I bring it up as I wrote most of Saint Wilgefortis and I didnt use CE as a source. I should probably add my source. Im sure there is overlap. But I do think it's a good idea to keep the direct link to the CE article online rather the remove it, its helpful to have. Stbalbach 16:23, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia pedia

When the columbia lists were uploaded a while ago it caused a storm of controversy, I know that logically it is no different to doing encarta or britannica, but I think we will get a lot of people saying "why is it ok now and not before?", and potentially could develop a new storm. On these grounds I would not like to see this addition until either 1) we have 100% rock solid proof it is ok, or 2) all the other lists are finished.

By the way, I personally think these lists are 100% ok, but while there are people who doubt this I think it is too risky. If in a few weeks this britannica guy has been around and not caused any trouble, I would consider that 100% proof that there is no legal problem.

Re: Catholic encyclopedia

Hi Reflex, and thanks for the info on my talk page re your CE wikiproject. I think you may have sent it to the wrong person though... I'm sure I haven't added any info from the CE to Wikipedia. I have been disambiguating Vatican, however, and if I came across a CE stub, I may have added the appropriate template / category — I'm not sure, but that's all I can think of as an explanation!

Anyway, best of luck with your project :-) ~ Veledan • Talk ^{+ new} 23:40, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hotlist x General topics

...is now generated. For a moral boost, maybe we should set the focus on smaller lists like this or enven this first? --Magnus Manske 08:10, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re Cath Enc

I very much appreciated your remarks: a positive comment was extremely welcome after a really annoying couple of hours hunting down Hectorthebat's copyvio transgressions (15 so far, and I don't doubt there are more). Staffelde 22:16, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
