[edit] Star Wars
You added a link but you also blanked half the article :) - the preview button is your friend :) No worries though, I've fixed it. -- Tawker 23:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Selfish request
I don't suppose you could create for yourself a userpage, could you? Because when I go through the list of Newly-Created Pages, one of the indicators I use for "possible new user; check all contributions carefully for vandalism/garbage" is a redlink to a userpage.
No big deal, really - just that it would make things a bit easier for me. DS 15:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Frederick the Great
Hello Markwiki! I noticed you added several quotes from Voltaire to Frederick II of Prussia. Would you mind providing the source for the quotes so they can be properly mentioned in the References section? You can mention them there or here (and I would then incorporate it into the article). Also, you deleted the interwiki links from the article in your recent edit. I will restore them. Happy editing! Olessi 19:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Footnotes has an excellent guide to including the footnotes within the article's text. Also, it's good to sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~. Cheers, Olessi 20:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Robin Hood
Hey Markwiki! When you accidentally removed some of the info before, is it possible you had mistakenly highlighted a chunk of the text and hit the spacebar, thereby removing it? To restore it, all I had was go to the previous version of the article, highlight and copy the text missing from your edited version, and then paste the missing material at the end of the current article. Hope that helps to explain what I did. If you need help in the future, also keep in mind Wikipedia:Help desk. Cheers! Olessi 02:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ibn Said
Hi, I've asked a question on Talk:Ibn Said. Could you please take a look when you have time? Thanks, Picaroon (t) 21:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] UrZah
Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article UrZah, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
