[edit] Mistress
I am puzzled by your "correction" of the formatting of mistress. To me it seemed correct before your edit and incorrect afterward. Mistress is the feminine counterpart of master, and several of the bullet points are particular cases of that. "A woman who owns a slave" is not a separate concept of mistress from a female "master"; rather, that is one special instance of a female "master". Michael Hardy 21:08, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I think you're right there. I didn't read the text properly, and assumed it to be a formatting error. My mistake --me_and 21:19, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyediting
Does this really belong in the copyediting category? (edit) I am sorry i did not sign. i do not think your user page belongs in the copyedit category. Bigbadbyte July 6, 2005 04:46 (UTC)
- Does what really belong in the copyediting category? If you don't tell me, I won't know.
- Also, can you please remember to sign your comments on other people's talk pages using --~~~~ (or the signature button at the top of the edit page), as it saves other users' time, is generally the accepted format for Wikipedia, and, if you notice, is mentioned in the template another Wikipedian has placed at the top of your talk page. --me_and 5 July 2005 21:44 (UTC)
- What the original guy probably meant was that your User page is listed under Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit (among others) because you included the templates for your own reference. That's a bit confusing. --Moritz 5 July 2005 23:25 (UTC)

Commentary added to MindPlay discussion page. Thanks for checking in, as I can see where you're coming from. SpikeJones 03:52, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Poppers article references
Hi Meand,
How does one go about editing the references section on the poppers article. It seems there is no way; very odd.
Many thanks. Straightshooter7 02:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Straightshooter,
- The Poppers article uses inline citations, which makes the article much more researcher friendly, since it tells the reader where exactly ey can check the given claim. Thus the references are not all in one section, rather they are dotted about the article together with the text that they reference.
- The simple explanation is that to create a citation, you place it within <ref></ref> tags after whatever text the citation verifies, and to edit a citation, you need to find the text that it first verifies (the ^ and letter page bookmarks in the references section are your friend here); the citation text will be after this text in the edit box.
- For the more complex version, you might want to have a look around Wikipedia:Footnotes, or I've created a fairly brief, albeit not very well written summary at User:Meand/IC. me_and 15:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
