[edit] ProseTimeline template
Not sure why you think Ta bu shi da yu would care about the TFD for ProseTimeline. He never contributed to the discussion, and he's not in the history! Not to mention - he's not an active user any more. - 122.107.11.230 (talk) 09:22, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Longleat House
listen, I don't know what this page does but I hope that I can get through to who ever is making the changes on this site. I made a change on the Longleat House page saying that hung up amongst old masters within the house itself is a copy of The Fallen Maddonna With The Big Boobies by Van Clompt. You have obviously never seen, let alone heard of, "'Allo 'Allo" - a British comedy set in France during the German occupation of WWII. In the series there appears this picture (it's a work of fiction of course). Anyway, after the series finished, Lord Bath accquired a copy of the picture and hung it up in his house - Longleat.
Look, here is an extract from your own page on Wikipedia! So don't say I'm making jokes if you lot are just as responsible!

[edit] Exenatide
I should have read that closer, it just appeared to be a general comment rather than something related to the article. Thanks for clarifying the information.Awotter (talk) 20:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. I don't know what prompted me to click on the user's contributions link, because if I hadn't, I never would have noticed the connection with the article edit. You notice that I only restored the last sentence of the comment. The rest of it really doesn't belong on a talk page. That must be the one-in-a-million exception to: "if it walks like a duck ...". --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 07:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Investment
Hi
Just wanted to thank you for this [1].
Zain Ebrahim (talk) 16:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't normally edit other people's talk comments, but fixing a disambiguation page link is just one click with popups :) Thanks for being so nice about it. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 17:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Cool. I also use popups but how would you do that using one click?
- Zain Ebrahim (talk) 18:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- As a test, hover over this link CFA. You should see, at the bottom of your popup, a bunch of green links marked 'Disambiguate this to..'. Click on one and watch what happens. And actually I was wrong - it takes 2 clicks (and about 10 seconds). --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 19:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't have the green links. How did you get your popups?Zain Ebrahim (talk) 20:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

// User:Lupin/popups.js // See Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups Hope that helps. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 20:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Turns out I had edited User:Hroðulf/monobook.js to turn on this optional feature. Instructions are in the Configuration section of the above link. I added this code:
popupFixDabs=true;
Sorry I forgot about that in my earlier answer. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 20:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- I tried and still couldn't get it so eventually I just replaced my monobook page with what's in your's and now it works great. Thanks!

[edit] Exchange-traded fund
Thanks for fixing the cite; I hadn't noticed that the footnotes referred to different page numbers. John M Baker (talk) 21:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] British Spelling
Thanks, that's good to know. I wish the British would standardize whether they want to use an 's' or a 'z', it would sure make it easier. I think they all look better with a 'z', but I see, according to your userpage, "It bugs me if you try to "correct" my spelling to your preferred one" so feel free to change it to whichever spelling you think is right. Useight (talk) 14:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Spelling is not quite as fixed as some schoolteachers seem to imply. There are a number of variations like that in the English language, including some other British examples I listed on my userpage. I think the person who was behaving in an irritating manner was not you, but the unregistered user who changed -ise to -ize without even an edit summary. However, it does not irritate me (much) as it was not my prose in the first place. I added RBS to my watchlist a few weeks ago, but only made a few small edits to the article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 19:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Oxone
Hey there
I moved the MSDS to the chembox, because we're trying to standardize where you can find information for ease of use. Just to let you know. Hope this helps. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 11:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK. What if there are different MSDS from different manufacturers and for different jurisdictions? Won't that clutter the infobox? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- Actually, only one MSDS will show, and one MSDS is enough. WP:NOT#DIR WP is not a directory, so we need not attempt to list all online MSDS'; a representative one is sufficient. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 13:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- OK. I guess if one goes offline, or seems to be missing important info, another one can be easily substituted. I shouldn't imagine a distributor will be too upset by the apparent bias of linking a competitor's MSDS. Multiple SDS are often relevant for different physical forms, but I imagine that when that occurs, you deal with that as an exception. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:29, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Singapore Airlines request for formal mediation
Hi, as the informal mediation in relation to the various issues regarding the Singapore Airlines article was not successful, I have now instigated a request for formal mediation on these issues at MedCom at this link. As you have been involved in editing this article in direct relation to the various disputed issues and/or have been active in discussion regarding these issues on WP:AIRLINES, previous dispute resolution attempts, or on the talk pages, if you believe that you are involved, then please take a look at the MedCom request, and add yourself and any issues as you see fit. Thanks --Россавиа Диалог 18:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How to safely test live templates in a sandbox?
I sometimes sandbox test templates in my user pages. However, sometimes, transcluding a template automatically places a page in an article category. This is bad, as it makes my user page look like an article. For example, I have a sandbox demo of {{Ise}} at User:Hroðulf/AIlist. It makes User:Hroðulf/AIlist show up on Category:Companies listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. I wish!
How can I safely demonstrate a template in a sandbox, when that template has article categories?
--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Use substitution ("subst:"). For example,
{{subst:Ise}}pulls that template's wikicode into the sandbox, where you can edit it. Then you can comment out or remove the lines setting the categories. That turns the sandbox into a template, and you then may need to test it in another sandbox (so you can pass parameters to it, etc.) The Transhumanist 11:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
