Unchanged Title of Comment
Copy this and the last line, place it below your entry, then change the title to something related to what you want to say. Then end your message with the text --~~~~ so I'll know who sent me the response.
Pointers
I reverted your copy and paste of Paul Simon. Page moves can should only be done using the "move this page" function on your left hand menu bar. Please also copy the redirect command to the summary field when making a redirect. --Jiang 22:54, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
In Use msg
The "In Use" msg you created is useful in concept, effective in implementation (i.e., eye-catching), and pleasant to look at. I guess that's a hat trick; bravo. --Jerzy 09:12, 2004 Jan 12 (UTC)
- My Comment
- I wish I could take credit for the 'revised edition'; I thought of the Inuse message because there were times when I was changing a page which required several minutes to do (for example, check out the List of television stations in USA by Call Sign and if I'm putting all of the entries for, say, California in from the current list by states, that's going to take a while. If someone else comes in and changes the list (for Coloradofor example) while I'm doing an edit as well, then my work is wasted or at least I have to now go in and re-edit to include their changes, since the list is in alphabetical order. In this sort of circumstance I don't really want to put a few entries in, save it, then put more in, and so on, I'd prefer to put all of them in as one batch.
- What someone else did was, they came along, rewrote the inuse message and inserted the banners. A distinct improvement to what I had done and a really great change. I wish I had thought of it.

Transparency in Interstate logo
Could you make the background color (grey) around the corners of Image:Eisenhower-Interstate-200.PNG transparent? It might look a little nicer. :) --Spikey 17:45, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)
inuse FUBAR?
Hi Paul, this is what I'm getting when using {{msg:inuse}} — looks like it got FUBAR:
{{inuse}} |
This is what the wiki custom message should output:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="inuseMessage"> <tr> <td> <p class="messageHeader">Note</p> <p class="messageText">This article is currently undergoing a major edit.</p> <p class="messageText">As a courtesy, please do not make edits to this article until this message is removed to avoid edit conflicts.</p> </td> </tr> </table> |
Where "edit conflicts" points to
In the standard Wikipedia skin, the message should look something like:
Note This article is currently undergoing a major edit. As a courtesy, please do not make edits to this article until this message is removed to avoid edit conflicts .
|
In order to do that, wikistandard.css should have the following styles added:
/* Custom messages */ /* inuse custom message */ #inuseMessage { background-color: #D2FFD2; border: medium dashed #FF0000; padding: .6em; width: 50%; position: relative; left: 25%; } #inuseMessage p.messageHeader { text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; } #inuseMessage p.messageText { font-size: smaller; } |
I guess you can put the custom messages stylesheets on a different file and make that wikistandard.css inherit them. I really don't know where this source is located, nor do I have the access to edit it. :p
Take care and thanks for your contributions,

Accounting/finance edits
Thanks for the additions to both the accounting and finance lists. However, since these are really accounting rather than finance topics, I will remove them from the finance list. mydogategodshat 04:29, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
License
Hi, can you give the exact license of Image:MD Map 200X150.jpg ? Is it public domain ? Thanks in advance Tipiac 09:58, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi, did you take this picture? If not, can you tell us the source? anthony (see warning) 14:07, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Yes, I did take the picture Rfc1394 16:51, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC) Thanks. anthony (see warning) 17:13, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I'm having serious questions about the validity of this classification system. Why is this appropriate for categories rather than just list articles? Postdlf 08:14, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Help Needed
Hi, you've contributed to the Interpersonal relationships page - could you please go over to Hugh Hefner where an edit war is in progress over the meaning and use of the word "mistress" and assist there? Thanks.
The Washington Post
See extensive discussion about the title in Talk:The Washington Post (march). As nearly as I can tell, to the extent that it is meaningful, the most correct title is The Washington Post, although it not infrequently rendered as The Washington Post March and Washington Post. If you have fresh material bearing on this question, please discuss it in Talk:The Washington Post (march). [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 13:57, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
