Didn't know that, thankyou for updating me. Regards, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm looking for someone to help with {{Geobox/type/nature}}, as User:Caroig appears to have left the project. The problem is that the template has provisions for "Landmarks" and Rivers, but none for Mountains and Lakes. In the Adirondack Park article, I am presently using Landmarks for both mountains and lakes, but it would clearly be preferable to have separate entries for them. Is this something you can help with? If not, do you know where best to take this request? TIA, -- Mwanner | Talk 14:29, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aaah, that's how you do it. I couldn't find how to put co-ordinates near the title. Now I do, thanks to your edit to Birmingham Northfield. Cheers for that :) doktorb wordsdeeds 19:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
for helping clear out the backlog at the TfD holding cell. Much appreciated, especially since I've done a couple of those infobox conversion ones and therefore know what a giant pain they are to do! delldot ∇. 21:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
is better suited to the article's talk page, where it also is. I would appreciate it if you removed it from the AfD, since it is of little relevance there and is only likely to confuse things. Serendipodous 10:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I've seen your attempts to develop a method(s) for linear coordinates - but I don't really understand how or what is best... A "coord missing|United Kingdom" tag was recently added by a bot to Monarch's Way & I think the linear coords is probably what is needed - but the path is twisted & loops round on itself - so I think it would be a real challenge. If you had any ideas of the best way to tackle this that would be great (NB more details of points on the route are on the talk page where we are currently trying to expand the article).— Rod talk 11:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you interested in the debates on biographical metadata? I thought you might be interested in Wikipedia:Biographical metadata (would you be able to summarise what the microformats do for biographical stuff?) and also in the question I posed about gender metadata here. I was surprised to see that Wikipedia:Persondata doesn't include gender. Do the microformats include it? I also came across Freebase (eg. here) and the tables of information presented there look quite well done. Do you recognise the fields they are using there?

I can't believe you meant to delete so much of this article (Syd Barrett), accordingly I've reverted your edit. Care to take another look at it? Cheers. --Rodhullandemu 20:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh lordy. Wikipedia:VPR#Categories at the bottom - Dots instead of .22.7C.22s
You had some good information regarding separators, somewhere recently. Ah, at Wikipedia talk:Accessibility#Horizontal lists.
Thought you might be interested. -- Quiddity (talk) 19:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Andy. I rollbacked back your revision to the {{Locate me}} template. There is no consensus for the new one, so the old could not be "deprecated" (your only comment). BTW, please also use an edit summary. cygnis insignis 13:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Niki Evans. I do not know what you are talking about regarding references. There is nothing anywhere as accurate as her own website. If you want to challenge something please do - and I will then perhaps better understand your problem. Regards, Robinventa —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinventa (talk • contribs) 15:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that info - as you realise I am new to all this. I will see what I can do to find something that is accurate. So many external references to Niki contain inaccurate information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinventa (talk • contribs) 16:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I find it impossible to add an image to Niki's page. As far as I can tell I am doing everything everybody else does to achieve what I am attempting - but without success. I must ask therefore if you blocking, or in some other way stopping me from doing this. Any help/info appreciated. Regards Robinventa (talk) 11:18, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You will understand that I was only asking the question because I do not understand the full scope of the sophisticated tools on Wikipedia. Thanks so much for you help - you are a gentleman and a scholar. Robinventa (talk) 12:06, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed an "inline citation" message. As you will see I have cleaned up everything as best I can - and added external links that support the text - eg. the fact that Niki was with John Barrowman at the Birmingham Symphony Hall is supported by a page from his site. Do you suggest that this link should be put with Barrowman in the text? Regards Robinventa (talk) 09:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that - I have investigated what "inline citation" actually means and looks like - and have successfully tested my ability to do it. So - it is in the pipeline Robinventa (talk) 18:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey - I don't deserve that! I removed nothing - one minute I saw a message - the next time I looked it was gone. But I did nothing - certainly not deliberately. I had no idea where it had gone. Regarding the external links to YouTube, I thought your insistence of citation was a suggestion that they were put as a reference rather than a link in the text. The only indisputable confirmation that Niki ever made that record is the track on YouTube! I accept that, with hindsight, the edit summary could have been more accurate - that was a bit lazy - but I did not realise that it held such importance. As a novice to all this I appreciate all your help - but I think I deserve a bit more understanding. I am doing my best. If that proves not to be good enough I will clear off and let somebody else have a go.Robinventa (talk) 18:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have added inline citations as you suggested. I do like the reflist. Anyway - as you have been kind enough to help throughout, I would ask if you would have a look at what I have done. If I find better references, existing ones will be replaced - or new references added. And additional text will not be included without inline citation. I can do no more - and would ask you to please remove the templates you have put on this site. Regards Robinventa (talk) 11:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As you will have guessed, I am trying to bring this article up to a standard that compares favourably with other singers / performers on Wikipedia. I have noticed, looking at other sites, that their images have lettering above and below on a mustard background. Niki's image does not. Is there a reason for this? Regards Robinventa (talk) 13:32, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Once again - many thanks Robinventa (talk) 22:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help the other day with Template:Infobox SSSI. Have you seen the ongoing discussion on the talk page about including a map in this template? I was wondering if you had any comment or could help with the code?— Rod talk 08:56, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How much do you know about Newstead and would you like to help me improve it in a long term project (nothing radical mind)? Wikisaver62 (talk) 16:11, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
would you check this page (Template talk:Infobox Scientist) to see if my proposed placements are correct? Thanks! (I'm watching the page, no need to drop me a personal note) SkierRMH (talk) 09:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dang, I see what you mean... I will request a bot flag and get back with you. MatthewYeager 02:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Right you are; I've commented at the ANI thread. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to build Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates/Archive 22, but when I went into the talk page to copy and paste out the inactive conversations, I saw "DO NOT ARCHIVE" in hidden comments. You were the one who created Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates/Archive 21, and I've only ever archived my usertalk page, so I'm guessing you know more about how to do this right than I do. Can you build Archive 22? Travisl (talk) 00:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
