[edit] Auto updates: Signpost & Tip of the Moment

Another Tip of the moment... When to use external links While Wikipedia is not a web directory, external links are allowed where appropriate. They generally are listed under a == level 2 heading == called "External links", even if there is only one link. The best way to create such a link is to type "[URL link title]". For example, [http://www.wikibooks.org Wikibooks] will become Wikibooks. However, such short link titles generally are frowned upon. Try to describe your links, so that the reader has a pretty good idea where it will take them before clicking it. Don't use external links where Wikipedia links exist. For example, in an article about Wikimedia, a link to Wikibooks (the Wikipedia article about the project) would be more appropriate than a direct link to Wikibooks.org.

[edit] George Comer

Congratulations and nice work on George Comer. I hope you didn't mind my amateurish input. Technical question: How do you write your web citations? Do you use a pop-up or other software aid, or do you code them all by hand? Just curious! ('Cause if you use an aid, I want it!) I look forward to seeing your next articles! Cbaer (talk) 12:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I just discovered the wikEd gadget in the preferences - just what I was looking for one! One-button citation templates - ever try it? Thanks for the inspiration to look! Cbaer (talk) 01:49, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Speedy deletion of Stephen Chu

I think it was a case of obvious vandalism, ie, a joke posting. I have reverted the vandal.--Jiang (talk) 06:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] name dabs

I reverted what you did in the "primary topic" line on Welles to be consistent with WP:MOSDAB. I see you also did the same with Simpson. I can see your thinking, but don't you think it should be discussed at WT:MOSDAB or something? (John User:Jwy talk) 01:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I've been in the dab biz for quite a while myself. The primary topic (at least to me) is article at "X" when you have "X (disambiguation)." I can see doing what you did if you moved Simpson (name) to Simpson. Part of the WP:MOSDAB thinking about primary target assumes if you were looking for the primary target (X), you wouldn't get to the dab page - you entered X, got the article you wanted and need go no further. Thus "hiding" it at the top gets it out of the way for people are looking for one of the other terms. The construct you have does not do that. (John User:Jwy talk) 06:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 21 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Henry W. Howgate, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Cheers, Daniel (talk) 12:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The Did you know? hook based on a fact from the article you created or substantially expanded, Henry W. Howgate, has been added to the Wikipedia Portal Portal:Criminal justice. Thank you for your contributions in this topic! If you know of another relevant fact from an article that has appeared at Did you know?, then please suggest it at the associated portal talk page.

Thanks for the "welcome"! :) I'm still getting the hang of RC patrol, but it's kind of amusing. A good time-waster, no?

[edit] A dispatch from the midden

Hi Rosiestep. I finally managed to pull myself together and write something about Comer's Midden as I promised you almost a month ago now. As it seems that most of the important conclusions originally drawn from Comer's excavation have become outdated, I am unsure exactly how much actually belongs in his article, so a made it a separate semi-stub. But if you think some of I wrote would fit into Comer's article, I am certainly all ears. Hemmingsen 11:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar. That was a pleasant surprise. Hemmingsen 07:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Outriggr's assesment script

Hi Rosie

After your note on my talk, I tested a setup which worked for me, and went ahead and installed it to your monobook.js.

All you need to do is to follow these instructions to refresh your browser's cache, and you should find it work for you.

Hope this helps! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

How sweet of you to send me a WikiCookie. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. MovieMadness (talk) 14:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh thankyou for the cookies. Incidentally I'm just drinking a cappuchino. Glad you like Mr and Mrs Biggleworth. The White One is smiling at you Rosie. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a song by Richie Sambora called Rosie and it happens to be one of my favoutire Sambora solo tracks. Mr. Bigglesworth would like you to check it out here. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Visit the Richie Sambora and the Jon Bon Jovi page. Most of the images are taken by me. They were just feet away. I've had the privelage of seeing them over in Dublin. (Of course I've seen them many times but never front row before!) Can't believe it was two years ago. Even the one of the bass player Hugh McDonald is mine ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it was amazing. I don't usually have trouble seeing at rock concerts anyway because I'm a head taller than most people lol, but seeing every movement and expression they make it a totally different thing. Richie was going through his difficult stage then though with his divorce, he was looking quite bloated on the night. Denise Richards was about ten foot away too ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

INcidentally Nickelback performed first so I got shots of Chad Kroeger and the band too ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the cookies...yummmmm....--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Rosie you must own a cookie factory the amount you are giving out. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 18:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Even better would be barnstars given to editors with cookies in them lol! Perhaps you ought to start charging them though or warning them not to get crumbs in the keyboard. We both know the recent news that computer keyboards carry more germs that the toilets! I find that hard to believe but still. Keep rockin ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Why thank you kindly. I shall enjoy it after my WikiDinner. --User:AlbertHerring ^{Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!} 19:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! Were those wikiraisins or Wikichocolate chips? Marylandstater (talk) 19:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

		Good job feeding all of those hungry Wikipedians with some nice cookies! Thanks for saving the last one for me! Have a good day! King iMatthew 2008 20:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Rosie, I enjoyed my Wikicookie a lot (though in Britain our term is Wikibiscuit!) with a good cup of Wikitea. :) Wikidea 20:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] citations for Washington Monument Syndrome

There are two citations up in talk for Washington Monument Syndrome. I'm sometimes not very good at fitting in a reference appropriately so this time I put what I was better at (narrative) in the article and left what I'm worse at (references) in talk. If you would take a crack at putting those references in the article, I'd appreciate it. TMLutas (talk) 16:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks, Rosie, for your help and kind words ! I even got to remember and learn what the Book League of America was -- despite the fact I am from NYC originally and I think I owned some as passed down to me in the family. ;) Bests. -- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 20:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin B. Kamenetz

The accuracy of a reference has nothing to with speedy deletion on the grounds of a person's lack of notability. However, I've found another reason to speedy this - most of the article is a copy-and-paste from the biography page on the district website, and therefore a copyright violation. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Symbols at DYK suggestions

Rosie, thanks for helping out at the DYK suggestions page, but you appear to be using the wrong symbols!

If you want to approve an article, you should be using this code: [[Image:Symbol confirmed.svg|18px]] which gives you this symbol:.

If you want to query a hook for something, you use this code: [[Image:Symbol possible vote.svg|18px]] which gives you this symbol: . Currently you appear to be using the latter in place of the former, which makes your intentions unclear. Gatoclass (talk) 02:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
