[edit] Staring at the Sun (Song)

Hey H3xx, I noticed in "new page patrol" that you created this article recently. As I'm sure you are aware, there is a disambiguation page already started to avoid confusion. The "Staring at the Sun" search terms leads to the U2 song (right or wrong), but a large majority of the articles on the disam page are in fact "songs". Would you consider renaming your new article Staring at the Sun (TV on the Radio song) to avoid future confusion? Thanks for your input, I've watchlisted your talkpage; you can respond here or on my talkpage. Keeper | 76 23:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response (and I've got you beat, I've been on Wik for about 9 hours now :-) I went ahead and redirected "Staring at the Sun (song)" back to the disambiguation page that already existed at "Staring at the Sun (disambiguation)". If you haven't already, I'll check the disam page to be sure it has a link back to the new article you created today. Thanks again, happy editing, Keeper | 76 23:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{1950s-album-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia (even in the category you created!), it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 22:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Basically, it's simply that there are standard naming conventions for stub categories and templates, and size thresholds for the categories. There's no problem with this stub type's naming, since you copied it from an existing template, but normally categories aren't made until we're sure there are plenty of stubs (small stub categories actually make more work for editors looking for articles to expand). This one's probably perfectly okay - certainly it's far better than some unproposed stub types we've seen. Also, since WP:WSS does most of the work as far as actually sorting the stubs is concerned, it makes sense if we're "in the loop" as far as knowing what stub types exist or are likely to be created. Grutness...wha? 01:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig in titles (EP vs album)

I just saw that you moved Night of the Living Dead (EP) to Night of the Living Dead (The Misfits album) with the reason 'Standardization of bla bla bla'. (EP) is in fact a standard disambig, as can be noted on the WikiProject Album's naming guidelines. -Joltman (talk) 14:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't? John Vandenberg (talk) 03:30, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the extra detail - I've not seen that guideline until now :-) Personally, I think "^H" is a recognisable name for that control character; to me it is more recognisable than trying to figure out what Wikipedians have decided to call the page name. Perhaps the ideal solution is to have a category dedicated to all those redirects - i.e. group them together. John Vandenberg (talk) 04:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TfD

Hello. I saw that you intended to nominate a few templates for deletion. You put the TfD template on the templates, but did not complete steps two and three at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#How to use this page. I've listed them at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 December 23 for you. Cheers, WODUP 07:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SCILAB

Hi. I downloaded Scilab and I'm quite confused. Could you help me out and tell me the proper syntax to solve a simple equation such as "5 + x = 8"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CorrectInfo (talk • contribs) 14:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
