Tables and general editing
- Became annoyed with seeing text run right up against tables which are right-justified, and so eventually found some guidance. In Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Numbers, Abigail recommends putting style = "margin-left: 0.5em;" in the table header. Now, I'm on a mission ... [03JUL04]
- Now this is a useful link Wikipedia:How to edit a page! [04JUL04]
- And another useful one Wikipedia:Template messages. [13JUL04]
- Tables: what a pain in the neck. In desperation I went to a formal definition of HTML 4.01 (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/cover.html#minitoc), specifically Section 11. Fine, so far as it went, but I couldn't find the really interesting stuff, which is what properties can be specified within style. I'll keep looking (in a desultory fashion). [18JUL04]
- Think about M:EasyTimeline. [30MAR05]
Table links:
- m:Help:Table [23JUL04]
- Wikipedia:How to use tables [14AUG04]

[14AUG04] Centring thumbed images in tables takes a lot of doing. The way I achieved it was to create a table within a table, viz.
{| border=1 cellpadding=2 width=350 cellspacing=0 align=right style=margin-left:0.5em;
|+<font size=+1>''' ISS Expedition 10 '''</font>
|-
!colspan=2 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 bgcolor=#FFDEAD|Mission Insignia
|-
|colspan=2 align=center|
{|
|[[Image:Expedition_10_insignia.png|thumb|200px|Expedition 10 insignia]]
|}

Evolution
Hmmm. A lot of good stuff in here about biological evolution, but a lot of confusion as well. How did Genetic drift get to be so crap? I'm not saying it's wrong, but it's not what I expect from an encyclopedia. [04JUL04]
- Thanks to User:Graft for the rewrite. [17OCT04]
Wikipedia life
- And this one Wikipedia:Nooks and corners of Wikipedia that should be frequented. [10JUL04]
- Did some RC patrol work on HUD Secretaries and Andrew Cuomo - boy was that hard to verify!. [10JUL04]
- Started messing around with Categories. Boy, there's a lot of cleaning up to do! Did you know there were 13,705 categories on 08AUG04? No? Shocking, isn't it. [08AUG04]
- 17167. I'll type that again. 17167. That's the number of categories now. Depressing isn't it, considering that a lot of them have only a couple of entries. Sigh. [29AUG04]
- More useful pages: Wikipedia:Utilities and Wikipedia:How to revert a page to an earlier version#Admin-only "rollback" link. [02OCT04].
- Got very, very depressed with the actions of a robot that has buggered thousands upon thousands of articles. Don't know if I can take much more of this. [24OCT04]
- Cool links I've just found: Wikipedia:Requests for sysop attention and Wikipedia:Administrator's noticeboard. [10DEC04]
- More links: Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page and Wikipedia:Glossary. [25FEB05]
- Here's the Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost! [30MAR05]
Generic welcome message template
Welcome to Wikipedia! Please create a logon ID for yourself, and start editing!
If you are too timid to start a slash and burn campaign in you subject area of choice, then feel free to play around in the Wikipedia:Sandbox. Other helpful pages are Wikipedia:Tutorial and Wikipedia:Annotated article.
There are many things to learn here: if you want a few pointers then come and visit me at User: Noisy, or leave a message on my talk page. Otherwise, the only tips I give are
- that you sign your name with three tildes (~~~), and leave name and timestamp with four tildes.
- <nowiki> </nowiki> around text will stop it being interpreted.
- Play around with your 'preferences' to change the way that your screen is displayed.
- And finally ... I recommend that you use the 'Show preview' button as a matter of habit before saving your edits.
Category:Industrial Revolution
Needed a lot more material, so I started playing around a few weeks ago. Started off in the main article, but found that I needed to fill out the supporting articles before the main section can be robustified. Here are the articles in question (n = newly created by me; m = major edits; r = redirect created by me) [08AUG04]:
- Industrial Revolution
- Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution
- Metallurgy during the Industrial Revolution
- Steam power during the Industrial Revolution
- Transport during the Industrial Revolution
