hp-stub (Harry Potter) stub

The abbr. hp can confuse people. Wouldn't it be better to use something like potter-stub? -- AllyUnion (talk) 02:26, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Or even harrypotter-stub. Doesn't really bother me, I was just going for a quick-and-dirty instant fix, rename it if you like. --Phil | Talk 16:20, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

Beam Piper

Hi, I noticed your change to H. Beam Piper. I always thought it was Horace. Don't remember where I read that. There seem to be about ten times as many Google hits for Henry as for Horace. Do you know pretty definitely? Do you know where "Horace" came from? Thanks, Tualha 00:14, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Check out the various biographies reachable through the External links section. All of those that I could find said "Henry". I have no idea where "Horace" came from. HTH HAND --Phil | Talk 17:49, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

Malloreon/Mallorean

Geez, I feel like an idiot now. I did check the book talk pages for any discussion, but didn't think to check the David Eddings talk pages. I understand the testiness... I've dealt with newbie-type problems before, and I'd certainly be a lot more pissed than you if some newbie came along and did something that was already argued against a long time ago. Not only that, I just went over to check my books (certain it would be "A"), and I can't believe I didn't see the "O" there. It must be one of those optical illusions. Anyways, once again, I apologise. I was planning to "Be bold!" in these pages eventually, and doing something I didn't think was bold turned out to be a real idiotic thing. Once again, my apologies to all involved for acting like another dumb newbie, and I hope my future contributions to these pages won't be as idiotic. I would have been happy to undo the damage caused, but alas, I was sleeping when you guys fixed it. -- Deathphoenix 14:42, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That'll learn me for clicking "Replace All" instead of "Replace". :-P -- Deathphoenix 15:29, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for covering my lack of template savvy on the link Universe #Shape of the universe--Eddie | Talk 13:41, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Your copyright question

I noticed your question on . For a picture to be usable on Wikipedia, it has to be in the public domain, fall under the GFDL or a Creative Commons license, or be justifiable under fair use.

Great Googly Moogly

Thanks for the formatting fix on Great Googly Moogly. I knew there had to be a better way than what I had done. --RoySmith 19:42, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

A las barricadas!

You're a brave, moderately suicidal man, Mr Boswell. Be that as it may, all help is appreciated. For my part, I tried before , and have tried again before resuming hostilities. Unfortunate, Netoholic does not agree to bring this to a proper closure, the greater community does not care, and I cannot allow him to win simply because he's stubborn. Democracy must prevail. In short, if you were to create a poll, I would be more than happy to participate. It is far more likely, however, that you are quietly unwatching all relevant pages as I speak. You've probably disconnected your computer from the internet as well, just in case. -- Itai 22:35, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Update: Netoholic has kindly started a vote on Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Sisterproject. As long as the vote's fair (that is, the template is not removed from all project templates), this seems like a good way to finish this. -- Itai 00:36, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)


If you want my point of view, Itai is really bad at thinking through his template creations. He's made dozens where one simple one would do. He doesn't think about narrowing choices to prevent . -- Netoholic @ 10:08, 2005 Jan 28 (UTC)

Part of what you offered at is now up for debate at Template_talk:Sisterproject#Survey. Please go there and vote. — Itai (f&t) 22:32, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
