Admin nomination
Hello. You aren't an administrator but I think you ought to be. I will nominate you if you like. You may reply here or on my talk page. Regards & happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 16:12, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, well, thank you for the thought, but I'm not sure I really want to be able to do any of the things admins can do. Recently I've been slowly branching out into more maintenance-related activities, but I think I should get more experience before I get into administrative activities. For now I'm happy to be just an active user. Maybe later this year I'll feel differently. Thanks again... - dcljr 20:17, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- OK, no problem. Let me know if you ever change your mind, and in the meantime, keep up the good work. Happy edits, Wile E. Heresiarch 09:08, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Revised intro for statistics
Hi again. I saw your proposal to revise the statistics intro section. It doesn't look like you actually carried out that plan -- I'd like to encourage you to go ahead since it's a definite improvement. Looks like the rest of the article would benefit from your attention too. For what it's worth, Wile E. Heresiarch 16:18, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Will respond to this in a bit... - dcljr 20:20, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Urgh... every time I try to respond, Wikipedia goes down or I run out of time. Short version: I kinda got scared away by the discussion I had on the talk page. I just plain don't agree that statistics has nothing to do with uncertainty or samples! Want to develop something more substantive before I throw it to the wolves. ;-) - dcljr 18:30, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
tagging articles
Please put templates like {{expansion}} that only are useful to editors, on talk pages (the only exception I can think of would be the different stub templates). Thank you. :) --mav 08:45, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Template:Translate
I have put Template:Translate on WP:TFD. It was created because links to Google translations (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://de.wikipedia.org&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools) didn't used to work, but now they do, which makes the templates unecessary. More details on the problem it was created to solve can be seen in the discussion of bug 361. Angela. 15:57, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
Should be OK
You can fix them or not fix them. I don't think anyone will get upset :-) Ta bu shi da yu 21:43, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. Have a nice day. --Ellmist 23:18, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It appears you have copied my comments back to your talk page. I won't move them in the future. --Ellmist 20:39, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Milestone statistics
Thanks for your work on the milestone statistics!
You wrote: "I couldn't check Guarani, Hindi and Kannada because I don't have the right fonts on this computer." I'm sorry to hear that. I have those fonts, so I'll check those languages for you. Have a great day! David Cannon 22:24, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Interwiki Madness
Thank you for your comments on my talk page. I do try to update that list periodically - once a month, on average. In general, I don't list a wiki on that list until it becomes active, even though I may have opened an account on it. Yes, there are wikis on which I don't have counters. I DID have counters, but once in a blue moon some do-gooder sees a counter, and nothing else, on one of my user pages, thinks some crank must have put it there, and removes it. From time to time I discover the odd one. Thank you for giving me a list of the ones where you found the counter to be missing - I'll fix them now.
The depreciated wikis (Serbo-Croatian, Moldovan, and Tokipona) - I've kept the first two because there are still a few enthusiasts who are trying to keep the first one going (despite its split), there's a debate about separating Moldovan from Romanian (with some nationalists arguing that as it can be written in the cyrillic alphabet, it should qualify as a separate language, much as Hindi differs from Urdu), and Tokipona is still occupying space on the Wikimedia server, despite its having been officially shut down.
My basic reason for making that list was to have a quick and easy way to check the statistics of each language once a month, as I am one of the volunteers looking after the Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics tables. David Cannon 11:04, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Interlanguage links on user pages
It's not discouraged at all . The only reason I don't do on the English Wikipedia it is to deter vandals from vandalising my user page on wikis I don't watch that often. I do use those links on other Wikipedias though since it's an easy way to get from one wiki to related languages. See af:Gebruiker:Angela for example, which links to other African language Wikipedias . Angela.
Removed remark
Sorry about that, but it seemed to me that it was a rather silly remark in response to an otherwise serious discussion. What exactly was your point there? Radiant_* 10:14, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
Table question
Hi, thanks for the great table tutorial. Now I have a great looking table (see it here if you're interested Talk:Myxobolus cerebralis), but I don't know how to get the article text to wrap around it, could you tell me how? Thanks --nixie 04:44, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Template
Sorry for the confusion - I need to better organize it, so that the links to the subordinate pages is clearer. I thought it was rather cumbersome as it was, and that the split was reasonable along those lines, allowing also for some added development. Thanks -SV|t 21:11, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
Stub template weirdness
I notice you created {{Template:Compu-network-stub}}. I can't figure out why the "expanding it" link is screwed up in this article I just added the tag to. - dcljr (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- I can figure out why, but the fix probably isn't easy. When you write RFC 3377, it gets turned into a link; that seems to be badly iteracting with the link on the template (which is https://academickids.com:443/encyclopedia/index.php?title=RFC_3377&action=edit — take a look at the wiki markup for that), and closing the [] before it should be closed. You should talk about it to the Wikiproject stub sorting people — that code came from Template:metastub (it was copied to Template:compu-network-stub via subst:). --cesarb 12:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- FYI, this phenomenon has already been submitted to MediaZilla (http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/) as a page-rendering bug. - dcljr (talk) 03:57, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
- Do you have the bug #? I want to add myself to its CC: list to monitor its progress. --cesarb 11:35, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
WikiJunior
Thanks for the head's up re naming the WikiJunior project. I really like KikiWiki or Kikipedia. User:Trödel/sig 02:31, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Category:2000 by month
I created the category in imitation of Category:2001 by month - if that's been deleted, I've got no objection to 2000 by month following it. Warofdreams 09:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
LDS title
I have no problem with changing the title. I was sticking to earlier conventions. Would you like to bring this up on the project page? (WikiProject Latter Day Saint) Jgardner 18:09, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Re: Colonial Governors
You got me just in time because I am about to leave Wikipedia to go on a long trip. I will work on the page, though I will probably not have time to verify every single colony/territory. However, I will definitely work on it and make some updates. By the way, I noticed that you posted a message to the talk page of User:Gzornenplatz. For a variety of complicated reasons, Gzornenplatz has been banned from Wikipedia, so he won't be coming to help with the page. Academic Challenger 05:04, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The War of the Worlds
I certainly have no problem with you moving the talk page it is probably something I should of done myself but I was unsure about merging/moving talks at that time. Although an interesting subject I have not great investment in the article I just do merges as a simple way to improve wiki in general.MeltBanana 13:32, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
