Thanks

Thanks for the copyediting on Attack on Pearl Harbor. In the past several days I have made a large number of edits to the article, and I've been hoping that someone with a sharp pencil would follow to correct my lapses. We all benefit from careful editing. Cheers, -Willmcw 06:54, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

Antarctic krill

Hallo Wayward! thank you for helping on krill - may I ask you to help contributing on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Antarctic_krill and maybe voting if you like it - we try to get input from all over the planet, want to use the article as academic teaching content for the hatching Wikiversity - best greetings (what country are you in?)

Just thought I'd thank you for doing a copyedit on Denis Law. It's much appreciated. CTOAGN 01:16, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Massive Thanks for Notes

I wanted to express my sincere thanks for doing the inline reference notes for African American literature. I'm a somewhat new user and I only learned about this system about a week ago. Naturally enough, this discovery occured AFTER I'd spent several weeks working on the article and I just didn't have the energy to convert the notes to the new system. Thanks for doing it. --Alabamaboy 7 July 2005 00:53 (UTC)

Thanks for the copyedit :) --nixie 23:13, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your edits!

Thanks a lot for your edits on the World War II page! I have done a lot of reorganizing there lately, as you might have seen, and I really appreciate corrections, since one gets blind after a while :).

By the way, I am actually quite a newcomer to Wikipedia, and I try to learn by watching other people's edits.

Would you mind telling me why a "ndash" is better than a regular "-"? I've seen this edit done before, and wonder if it is something I should think about when writing? I would really appreciate a message from you on my talk page!

Regards, and thanks again! Dennis Nilsson. Dna-Dennis 22:51, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for you answer. Now I understand the en dash.
Now, since you placed an "mdash" on my talkpage, I naturally have to ask you: when is this is used? :) Dna-Dennis 16:08, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

The whole ref/note system is a huge PITA for me and hard to maintain. So at first I was a bit freaked when I saw that you converted Geology of the Death Valley area over to it. But since you left the inotes, any future sequencing mixups will be easy to notice and fix. A big thanks for doing this and for keeping the inotes. :) --mav 07:31, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Primary candidates VFD

Many of the candidates for the June 14, 2005, congressional primary have been proposed for deletion. I am writing those who worked on election articles to request that they offer their votes against the proposal. The VFD's can be found starting at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Log/2005_August_8#Peter_Fossett. It is my view that we ought to provide a complete record of the election and my deleting so called "minor" candidates we do a disservice to them and the historical record. Please vote against all these proposals.PedanticallySpeaking 14:54, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

British spelling

Thank you for helping to copyedit harpsichord. I must point, though, that I don't feel it to be quite prudent to change spelling like "standardized" to "standardised" or "favor" to "favour". I don't consider either spelling to be more "correct", though I almost always use the former since speak American English and since it is (as far as I know) far more common. I don't consider it a good idea to change from one form to the other as long as it's clearly consistent in one article, but should be up to the majority of the main contributors of an article to decide.

Makuria

Just curious why most of your copy edits on the Makuria article were to change from American to British spellings. Both are acceptable on Wikipedia, and I'm not sure why the British ones should be preferable in this case. BrianSmithson 00:37, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The article had a mix of AmE and BrE spellings. I made a judgment call and chose BrE. If you'd like I can change the spelling to AmE. —Wayward 00:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't mean that you had to change it to AmE; it was a good copy edit. I can see British being preferred here due to Egypt's British colonization, but Syria was French, so . . . . At any rate, it seems the original author changed back to the hodgepodge that is Canadian English. BrianSmithson 01:22, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

em dash

hi. thanks for taking a sweep through the Bonnie and Clyde article. nice to see some more editors there (for some reason there's very little traffic). i'm curious about the changes you made for the emdashes. i'd gotten the impression, though without factual corroboration, that the — code was perhaps more universally readable in browsers than —. obviously, — is better when editing though. do you have any info on the browser part, or was your main reason for changing because of ease in editing (or something else)? i think it was this article that started me using the 8212 code, but i don't want to continue it at wikipedia if it's less compatible. any solid info you have is appreciate. thanks.

I, Veledan, award Wayward this *Working Man's Barnstar* for relentless, exemplary copyediting.

I came here to thank you for your copyedits to my peer review nom Bladderwort but I've been astounded by the number of articles you've done a similarly good job on. The thanks on this page are just the tip of the iceberg, and you definitely deserve this Working Man's Barnstar to go next to your Diligence award!!

ta

Thanks for your copyediting of Ostracism. You were nudging the entry in the direction of the impersonal, which seems fair enough for an encyclopedia, though I did regret a little the drop in liveliness that produces. In general I am squeamish about the pronoun "one", so when you changed my "we cannot" to "one cannot" I went in and redid it as "it is impossible". The one edit which I really didn't like was changing "So who?" to "So whom?" as that makes for an unpleasant clash of styles and I thought colloquialism was justified at that point as the reader was being asked to commit a small act of imagination. But the copyedit was much appreciated Flounderer 07:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator

It's my pleasure to notify you that, consensus being reached, you're now a administrator. You may wish to read the reading list and how-to guide at your convenience. Most sysop actions are reversible, the exceptions being history merges and deleting pages (but it's a good idea to be careful with all of them). Again, congrats on becoming an admin.

Popups tool

Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:Wayward/monobook.js:

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupShortcutKeys=true; // optional: enable keyboard shortcuts
popupAdminLinks=true;   // optional: enable admin links

There are more options which you can fiddle with listed at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! Lupin|talk|popups 23:20, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Del Mar Fairgrounds

Hey Weyward, why did you delete the Del Mar Fairgrounds article ? There are several pages that point to this now non-existent article, including Del Mar, California I commenced it by supplying a nice photograph of the fair grounds. Can you be more constructive and less destructive ? Signal it as a stub, contribute a paragraph or something. I think a good picture is a fine way to start an article. Anything the matter with that ? Intersofia 05:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

07:43, 31 October 2005 Wayward deleted "Del Mar Fairgrounds"

The stated reason for the delete was "CSD A1 - very short articles without context". A picture is worth a thousand words (although it took words to say that, granted ;-)

and Del Mar Fairgrounds is crying out to exist - pointed to a priori by other articles. I advanced the cause of wikipedia by contributing a picture. So if you think the article is too short, offer some constructive help! Destruction is cheap, easy and leads nowhere. Thank you. Intersofia 05:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else or myself would soon supply the text. Intersofia 05:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(Wayward says) Hi, Intersofia. The article Del Mar Fairgrounds qualified for speedy deletion. Please feel free to recreate the article when you can provide some context (see stub). —Wayward ^Talk 07:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Are you confusing context with content ? There is plenty of context for an article on the Del Mar Fairgrounds - since there were other articles that pointed to it prior to its creation (Links that take you to an "edit this article" page) I think this is the very definition of referential context. This is not the unrelated story of some José Nobody who had an Hacienda who know where and a Factory in Lower Obscuria. (see [[1]] ) I provided complete illustrative content: a photograph. Your deletion of this article makes me and others who could soon write the text loose time. I am recreating it and signaling it as a stub, and providing what little text content I can, in the hope that others can soon shed some more literary light on the matter. It is my opinion that visual descriptions alone of a an article needing creation and existence are a positive step forward and should be respected. Intersofia 16:21, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Article re-created with literary AND photographic content. Context provided a-priori by the encyclopedic environment that pointed to this (formerly) non-existing article. Best Regards, Intersofia 17:14, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to contribute to the article Del Mar Fairgrounds, as it is only a short stub, needing the constructive work of wikipedians. Intersofia 17:16, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Luck article

if you looked at the version you reverted to, you would see it had something like 10x the same text over and over. i left exactly one.

Blocked IP

Hi, you've blocked IP 212.138.64.173. In fact it is a proxy of an ISP in Saudi Arabia, and the policies here are quite similar to China. You might have identified a bot but have also blocked other legitimate users. I am behind that proxy in a five-star hotel, used by Europeans and airline pilots. I personally am able to circumvent the proxy and this is getting written to you from another IP but ordinary editors might not be that savvy.

Uniformity of your edit summaries.

Regarding the Queer as Folk (U.S.) article

I have created a specific account so that my changes will be authored...Please be aware that it has been me that has been adding information to this article and correcting mistakes I have found in it....I worked on the show for four years therefore my information is valid...I do apologize for not realizing that you wanted edits to be made with an actual account which I have now done. Also, the episode table I attempted to put in the article keeps getting duplicated and thats why I have been trying to delete the duplicate copy. Obviously I am not succeeding so I ask that the duplicate copy of the episode table be deleted. There should only be one copy in the article. Finally, if you are not interested in any of the facts I have to offer concerning this show. please do say so. There will be no hard feelings and I will cease to provide any further information.

Thanks for voting to support my RfA. I wasn't expecting an unopposed promotion (I thought I'd hit some die-hard edit-counters at least) and I'm touched by the trust shown in me.

Copyediting: ndashes

Hi Wayward - thanks for converting these at Brazil Nut and Cashew; I wonder if I might ask if you could use unicode ndashes ( – ) rather than spelled out, as spelled out ndashes are a pain for future editors; they disintegrate when mouse-highlighted, with orphan ampersands and semi-colons stuck to the adjacent figures/words (the software treats it as "7& ndash ;12" instead of "7 – 12"), unless one is very careful - thanks!

Hey Wayward. I can see "Bustamonkey" was causing all sorts of fun and games, so the block I have been affected by seems perfectly reasonable for this idiot. However, I was just about to get back to filling in the red-links on Constituencies in the next United Kingdom general election, and now I am a bit stuck! How long is the block for ?
