Hi, just wanted to say thank you for the great article as well - it has grown since it is a neat overview of the famous models. You just saved me around eights hours of working time. Thank you! 89.0.46.31 (talk) 08:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should open a Wiktionary account if you expect to be taken seriously there. It's a tighter group than WP, BTW, with some probably justified concern with low-quality contributions. Things are a little more technical, less documented, and different from WP in unexpected ways, esp. in copyright. Copying the wording of a dictionary entry is strictly a no-no in Wiktionary, whereas it is not necessarily so in WP. Quote attribution practice is apparently not as precise in Wiktionary as in the best-referenced WP articles. DCDuring 15:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point :-) Thanks! I think my question was seriously presented and seriously taken by a couple of people, despite my lack of an account. For newbies, the need to have two accounts is a bit strange but given your differentiation between WP and Wiktionary, I can see how the two might be perceived by "insiders" as being very different. Allways a pleasure to learn more about all things Wiki. Jsarmi 20:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ay Jsarmi, good to see you around editing! i assume everything is going well for you. actually stopping by because i was just reading

EXAMPLE:
Chess is played on a square board of eight rows (called ranks and numbered from 1 to 8) and eight columns (called files and labeled from a to h) of squares^[1]. The colors of the sixty-four squares alternate and are referred to as light squares and dark squares. The pieces are divided into two matching sets, by convention called White and Black^[2]. Each player, referred to by the color of his pieces, begins the game with sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights and eight pawns^[3][2]. The chessboard is placed with a light square at each player's right on the nearest rank, and the pieces are set out on the two ranks closest to each player, as shown in the diagram^[1]. Each queen stands on a square of its own color.

references

in the above example you can see the little 1's and 2's that refer to the references below. these are created by <ref name=NAMEOFTHESOURCE>www.example.com</ref> this way the reader can see exactly where the information is used. Also if you would like to use the same references multiple times you only have to refer to it by the name you gave it, such as <ref name=NAMEOFTHESOURCE/> to easily keep track of references, instead of listing them at the bottom of your page, you can just use <references/> and wiki will find all your <ref></ref> tags and fill in that section for you. if you have any questions let me know : ) MatthewYeager 12:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal was to gather feedback to help design a tool that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

We are particularly interested in feedback from new editors! We want to make sure this tool meets your needs.

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 23:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
