Hello there,
re:
Thanks for the copy editing of some of my articles, but one thing you do not need to do is turn all the [[Canadian]] into [[Canada|Canadian]] ,
19:36, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)- OK, sorry. I've changed back the ones I remember; when I first started doing articles, mine were "corrected" in this way, so I assumed this was the proper style. - Bill 20:03, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- No reason to change them back. It does no harm to have [[Canada|Canadian]] , its just a waste of effort since it isn't needed. For many other countries they should be changed, however, because they also have a language by the same name e.g. Japanese, French, Russian. - SimonP 20:10, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)
- Understood. By the way, thanks too for tending to "Coto de casa"! -- Bill 20:13, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Hi, you cast a vote in the TEMP5 debate. The Temp5 proposal was voted down by 61.3% to 38.6%. We seem to be going around in circles on the whole issue of the main page. A new vote is now taking place to clarify what exactly we want, namely
- Do we actually want to have a new page?
- If so when (immediately, after a pause, timed to the press release, etc)?
- What do people want on the front page and what do they want excluded?
As of now, the whole issue seems surrounded by complete confusion. This way, finally and definitively, we will know what we want and when we want it. So do please express your opinions. The vote is on the same page as the previous votes. FearÉIREANN 20:31, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Where's the page? It used to be linked-to from the "Recent changes" pages, but it is no more. -- Bill 10:18, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)

- Whoops. I'm just seeing this now. Thanks. No, "late trading" and "market timing" are two different things. I'll add a definition to the article. -- Bill 22:48, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Amateur Radio
Thanks for your "sharpening" of the Amateur radio article, good job. I (and others) have added more info, as you said it needed. 'zat nuff yet? :) I was thinking of adding more tools and maybe splitting it into buiding tools and tools to have on hand for an emergency. Perhaps later, unless someone else does it first. :) --ssd 06:30, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help too. No doubt, the article is improving. My main problem with it is that reads more like a promotional piece for the hobby than an encyclopedia article. Too often the text is verbose and rambling. Also, I suspect it's too long. It probably needs to be broken up into a briefer main article and a series of sub-articles. But, another problem is that there are quite few articles in English Wikipedia that have been created totally indepent of this one. I've thought about re-organizing the whole shooting match, but it's really a big job; one that I'm not prepared to take on, even though I do know a lot about the subject. Anyhow, good luck. Bill 15:02, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I sort of agree with you, but I'm not sure it really needs to be broken up. I think my recent changes may have made it a bit better in viewpoint, and I've broken up the intro into individual sections. I think it still needs a bit of reorganization. As to sub-articles, I've done extensive improvement on antenna. I've considered adding more models to antenna, but I think it getting too long, and I can't decide if I should add more there or make a second article for less common antenna models.
- As to "re-organizing the whole shooting match", what did you have in mind? Perhaps we could make a list of articles that need work or coordinating and/or expanding and split up the work or ask for help, perhaps even start a project and put inset boxes on all relevant pages to better coordinate them, etc. There's a big huge list under Glossary of antenna terms and several similar lists that would be a good start. --ssd 19:14, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Wfeidt, did you mean to create your own Monobook.css to modify your own display stylesheet? That's supposed to be under Wfeidt/Monobook.css. Do you want to Move it? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 14:53, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)
- That is what I was trying to do. Guess I did not do it correctly. I'm not even sure where the file is to move it? Bill 22:26, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
