[edit] To Do

  • Create an article on Graciela Casillas and/or her style, Shen Chun Do.
  • Goju-ryu desperately needs some cleanup
  • Create an article for St. Nectan's Glen
  • Create article on wilderness emergency rescue signals -- link from survival, WSAR etc. articles.
  • Check out "Rites of Spring," "EarthSpirit Community," "Free Spirit Gathering," "Free Spirit Alliance," "Heartland Pagan Festival," "Pagan Spirit Gathering." All need creation or improvement, I believe. When "RoS" is updated/built, include a link from Jeff McBride, as RoS isn't mentioned in that article.
  • Similarly, EarthSpirit Community, Andras Corban Arthen, Deirdre Pulgram Arthen, and Glainn Sidhr Order (spelling is correct; alternative is `Glenshire`; pronunciation is roughly glenn-sheer, in both cases)
  • Create article on Sonia King
  • Create article on Pelham town hall
  • Create automotive article "Tune-Up."
  • Create article for Bob Venosa
  • Create an article for Croyland Bridge?
  • Create article for ECWCS
  • Once I have the layout of my page improved, put this up (The code is {{subst:SA-Novato}} ):
This editor is a Novato, and is entitled to display this Wikipedia Picture Story Book.

[edit] Follow Up

  • Keep an eye on this.

--I was right: copyvio all over the place. Someone kindly addressed it.

  • Check back on McDojo and see if anyone objects to my proposed change.

--Gave up on arguing about Goju as a better example.

[edit] Handy Tools For Myself

If you start a new line with a space, it creates a box, thus.

Useless_Fodder has some useful information on tables.

Help:Editing

{{subst:unsigned|user name or ip|date}} replacing "user name or ip" with their user name or ip and "date" with the date. For example, {{subst:unsigned|septegram|11/20/2006}} gives —The preceding unsigned comment was added by septegram (talk • contribs)11/20/2006.

{{fact}} gets a "Citation needed" tag thus [citation needed]

Conversation with user:Jossi explains creating/using templates:

I added the template you your userspace. To add the template to a page use this syntax: {{subst:User:Septegram/Welcome}} - ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you kindly. I've been looking for something like this for a while. Is there a list of these? I've looked around the WP:WELCOME, but to no avail. Ideally, I'd like one that was similar to the one you used, but without the invitation to ask me questions; I'm not an Administrator, and often just want to do a quick "Howdy" rather than present myself as a serious resource, particularly for shared IPs.

Just edit the template... User:Septegram/Welcome to whatever you want. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:48, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Aha!
That's how it works. I get it.
Thank you kindly.

[edit] RFA

RFA Page says "This is not a page for discussion," so I'm going to store my comments here in case they get deleted.

====Statement by Septegram====
I was not notified of this RFA, which I find disturbing in and of itself, and only heard about 
it through the good offices of another Wikipedian.  I'm not sure I belong as a party, since I 
don't believe I have done any editing of the articles in question.  My understanding of this 
debacle is that Mattisse bombed the Starwood article with {fact} tags (acting, it seems to me, 
in questionable faith), leading Rosencomet to put in links to what information zie had available.  
These were attacked, and the furball that ensued brought us here. 
I believe there have been cases of inappropriate behavior on all sides, and have started to 
distance myself from this debacle.  I am not optimistic that a conclusion can be reached that 
all sides will find reasonable, or even equally unreasonable.
*Yes, Rosencomet probably overdid the linking of Starwood to performers and vice-versa.
*Yes, others did respond perhaps overaggressively
*Rosencomet says zie's made numerous edits in an attempt to comply with 
requests from people regarding this mess; I don't know and can't speak to it.  I do know that 
this cluster**** has caused at least one editor who I held in fairly high regard to abandon 
Wikipedia entirely.  
*Yes, I'm getting disgusted with this whole dispute and the lack of flexibility and WP:AGF 
displayed by several people.
If the tone or content of this statement is not appropriate, I apologize, but not very 
heartily.
