Thank you

Thanks for the little clean up to the Tarleton page. I am going to do a bit more research, bit of revising and what-not, and get back to it, flesh it out a bit.

Cheers

SD Meet-up

Hello, you posted on ZScout's page that you are interested in a San Diego meet-up. I would like to organize a San Diego meeting around User:JimboWales' October visit to San Diego for [www.oopsla.org|OOPSLA]. I am hoping he can attend. Would you be interested in helping organize this? Johntex 00:19, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but bear in mind that I am new to the area. Bovlb 05:40:15, 2005-08-18 (UTC)

Re VfD

Hi Paul. May I suggest that you consult Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Log/Today#VfD footer for the correct procedure for listing pages for deletion? You don't seem to be following it 100%. Cheers, Bovlb 08:29:17, 2005-08-26 (UTC)

Hi, Boblb: I have actually read the guidelines you mention, and as I understand them, I am following them correctly. Can you please be more specific and discuss an instance where you consider my use inappropriate, and why? Thanks in advance. Paul Klenk 08:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Bovld, me again -- I have taken another look at the page, the section you linked to, and it makes sense now. Thanks. Paul Klenk 08:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Sorry to be terse last night. The three specific points I noted were: using subst with {{vfd}}; using {{vfd2}} to start the actual vote page; and, most importantly, listing the vote on Wikipedia:Pages for deletion/Log/2005 August 26 using {{vfd3}}. Without the third point, the votes aren't being publicised properly. I note that jpgordon and Gadfium have added three of your VfDs to this page for you. Bovlb 14:10:54, 2005-08-26 (UTC)
Thanks, Bovlb. I'll now get back to the task of more fully tagging for deletion pages about "characters in movies who really excel at anal sex" and page "about that scene in that movie I liked". Paul Klenk 15:12, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Could use some help, if you have a moment...

I've made a Sandbox page to practice the VfD procedure. I'm not sure I did step 3 correctly -- would you mind taking a look at it? Wikipedia:Sandbox_Page_for_Practicing_VfD_Procedure Thanks for your help. Paul Klenk 16:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

It works -- I made it through all procedures to nominate Camo dudes for deletion, and everything shows up correctly. I appreciate your help. Paul Klenk 07:49, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Appearance of links

Go to your your preferences and look at the first item under "Misc". I have underlining turned off, but I think that the default should be to have underlining, as it's what web-users are accustomned to.

  • Thanks for your help on that. S. Neuman 22:00, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

USS Evans

I requested the speedy because USS Evans is a different ship from USS Frank E. Evans.

Links from Individual Hardy Boys Articles

There is a discussion I referenced you (or you might be interested in) at [1]. --PhilipO 16:58, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Amtrack

I changed Amtrack from a redirect to a disambiguation page to allow for the military sense of amphibious tank. Cheers, Bovlb 17:11:44, 2005-08-28 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I've recategorized the link on User:Slambo/Disambig as a disambiguation, and clarified that Amtrak is a passenger carrier on the Amtrack page. slambo 22:58, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
