[edit] Linking to categories with out added the page to that category

Just thought I would drop you a note about this, it took me a lot of searching to figure out how to do this my self. If you want to link to a item (namespace) with out including it in you use a colon. So where as [[Image:The Great Wave off Kanagawa.jpg|45px]] will give you , [[:Image:The Great Wave off Kanagawa.jpg]] will give you Image:The Great Wave off Kanagawa.jpg. The same is true with categories, (i.e. Category:Gender studies) For more see Wikipedia:Namespace. — Steven Andrew Miller (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I updated the image name. Hope you don't mind. Regards. Oda Mari 15:02, 29 August 2007 (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 13:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nice work!

Nice work on the {{User BGSU}} userbox! Right now it appears that you and I are the 100% of members of Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Bowling Green State University. --Kralizec! (talk) 01:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bowling Green State University

Hello. I see from Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Bowling Green State University that you attended Bowling Green State University. As a fellow alumni, I was wondering if you had any thoughts as to how we could improve the article. At a minimum, the Notable programs and Notable alumni sections currently fall far below Wikipedia's standards. --Kralizec! (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
