[edit] Hydrogen pipeline transport

Not sure how to use this "Talk" feature, because I'm not a veteran wikipedian, but I just wanted to point out that your 3rd reference in this article (and in "Pipline transport" article), links to an external source article that does nothing to verify the claim of "50 to 100 miles". Where is the mention of this data? Was it mis-linked? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.150.49.30 (talk) 01:25, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:1809 in France

Okay. It just looked like there was enough content on that article to remain separate. Teh Rote (talk) 15:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Opposed to merging all Years by Country into Year

Hi BozMo - no objection to making each year consistent (as per 1850), but do not see why Years by County have to be merged into the year (eg 1809 in France) and the many hundreds of other years by country articles. A lot of us have spent substantial time ensuring we have Years by country articles (eg Ireland is very comprehensive) and these articles form a vital part of History by country.

Support 1850 format, but not merging of Years by country articles which stand very much in their own right. Ardfern (talk) 14:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1809

Have had to restore 1809 in France as it had been merged befiore any discussion completed. If this goes on many hundreds of articles will be lost that are part of History by country. Ardfern (talk) 15:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Mion - You cannot pull down people's articles without any discussion - this is not what Wikipedia is about. This article is part of a series and should not be destroyed. Ardfern (talk) 15:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you !

Dear Mion, I thank you very much for your informative help. --Asiri wiki (talk) 09:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chubb Nabar

The pictures aren't in their restricted px marks. The pics are meant to be 65px but they are't. LB22's came out worse. Chubbennaitor 10:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Fine. ComputerGuy and LB22's Navbars are both destroyed to. If u want u can help them. Chubbennaitor 10:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

May you explain what you mean. I don't understand a word you said. It's running off mine to. Chubbennaitor 10:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I might, if you remove User:Chubbennaitor/Main Menu from your talksign. Mion (talk) 10:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Why? What do u mean by this-"why is TD with set ? and on 0px ? dont set TD with."Chubbennaitor 10:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that for some reason the 'px' sign has gone haywire because any free standing images are their uploaded size and not what the size is put as. Chubbennaitor 10:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Wrong, pictures can be displayed in size, regardless of there upload size, Mion (talk) 10:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Could you explain to me why they aren't going y the 'px's I set aren't effectig it. Chubbennaitor 12:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Did you remove User:Chubbennaitor/Main Menu from your talksign ? Its confusing to other editors. Mion (talk) 12:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My map template problem (fuller description)

Thank you for looking at the "help me" note on my Talk page - but the problem is not solved. Please have a look at User:Martha_Forsyth/Mom's_Code-samples#Locating_places_on_a_map for an illustration of my problem. The positioning does not work correction when I use template:location map, but apparently when using template:infobox settlement, it does. (I discovered this when I wanted to put TWO town markers on the same map.) In addition, if you actually go to Template:Location_map_Bulgaria, you will see that (in contrast to, say, Template:Location map Republic of Macedonia, where you actually SEE the map and some coordinates. This suggests to me that something really is fouled up about the Bulgarian location template, and I would like to have it fixed (or learn how to fix it myself)! - Martha (talk) 02:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: I need help again

Oh, hello again Mion! The reason i ask is because at one point i had a link on my user page that was to a site that has personal information about myself. I'd like to delete my user page history so no nutters can ever find me. I am a anti-vandal, and people might hold a grudge against me for reverting their edits. I'm moving this discussion here for the same reason. I know of another user having his user page history deleted, probably for the same reasons. Thanks TheProf | Talk 12:18, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've now e-mailed a request for my user page history deletion. Again, thank you for all your kind help !

-- TheProf | Talk 16:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Added some stuff and worked with another admin to add content. I also figured out the definition of a source for wikipedia, but thanks to an overzealous former PR manager, the only stuff online is copy. So I'm still looking for good Wikipedia style sourcing.Stuartfost (talk) 00:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for the answer to help me

I have removed all the fair use images from the Portal:R&B and Soul Music and placed requests on the article talk pages for copyright free images when they are available. SriMesh | talk 01:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BCC Research

Hoping you could peruse my updated site and offer criticism. Thanks Stuartfost (talk) 17:16, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The information you requested...

is on my talk page (another helper asked for it too). Low Sea (talk) 03:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Mion, I did as you suggested and offered a "good faith" effort to discuss my contribution. Unfortunately I feel the response was both erroneous and -- more of issue -- insulting. I have pretty thick skin but calling me "lazy" is one of the few things that can get my blood boiling and this user just crossed the civility line crystal clear.

As I look through this user's work I find a disturbing pattern of rudeness and intollerance for "less than perfection" on the topic of citations. In my opinion this behaviour may "scare off" less experienced / less "tough" users. I feel there is an civility issue with this user beyond my own interactions with him/her.

Still, I am trying to be civil and would like your's/somebody's suggestion on what would be the next best step to take with this user? I ask because I think I would really like to continue to use my skills and resources to help find relevant scholarly references for other articles in need of RSs (searching data is a forte of mine). I fear any efforts to do so will meet with the same arguments.

So I return to my original helpme question: Is what I did with the Unity Church article -- adding an RS cite and ask SMEs/primary editors if it is useful -- an acceptable form of contribution / adding value at Wikipedia? Are you the one I should ask or should I ask in some particular forum (ie: would you prefer the answer was some sort of concensus)? Thank you again. Low Sea (talk) 06:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment on my talk page, but no I cannot get onto the sockpuppet reporting page as my user name is new (I only got a static IP yesterday). Will re-open helpme for the moment Alchemy12 (talk) 13:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Simon Bruce

Hey, thanks for the help on the Simon Bruce page. I dont know why I am having so much trouble getting it reinstated. I dont understand the conflict of interest either. Check my ip if you can. I am a 43 year old Mother in San Francisco. My son heard of this kid Simon Bruce in Nashville and there is a huge buzz around him getting signed. I know a bit about wiki and wanted to make him a page. Thats all. I have contacted all the copywrite owners of his webpage etc to get authorization to use it on wiki. I have had a wiki account (caponofrio) for over 2 years.

I made this new account so that my son's friend could monitor it, and at the same time teach them how to use wiki. Please help me get the Simon Bruce page reinstated. Thanks for helping to clean it up too. --Sarahmckem (talk) 16:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
