[edit] Creek Language

How do I mark a term as from a language other than English? The creek word acces looks a lot like the English word "access" (at least to a robot, as we have seen). Actually, it means "[She] is putting on a dress." If I knew the standard system, I could flag the words in the Creek Language article. -- Bruce H. McCosar 13:35, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Sorry about that. There's no standard as such, but you might want to take a look at the following: User:CmdrObot/archive1#How_to_Force_a_Misspelling. I've added the word to my exception list for that article. Cheers, CmdrObot 21:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks -- when I have another data point, say from another robot, I'll try and implement a system. Bruce H. McCosar 21:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I have NO idea how that happened.

Seriously, I don't remember doing that. Look at my history, I haven't vandalized any page before. I was doing a lot of resorting, I must have accidentally did it while I was doing that, sorry.Mwutz 01:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I thought it was kind of strange . . . thought maybe someone had used your computer without your knowledge. I now know to revert first, ask next, then wait for the next time before I assume. Sorry; I've only been doing this a little while. Well, that's my motto . . . "I keep hoping for wisdom" . . . I see that bus still hasn't come in . . . . -- Bruce H. McCosar 01:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

• Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
• Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 12:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Category

I was just doing th technical (boring) sides of the CFD, i.e removing the cats from pages and deleting. So if you disagree or have questions about the result, I'd suggest asking the closing admin. I do seem to recall that the idea was to split the category in two (one being GNU and one being Linux). John Reaves (talk) 21:34, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
