Ordnance

You seem to be replacing some links to the disamig page ordnance with a Wikitionary link. Wouldn't it be better to replace these links with a more suitable Wikipedia article, for instance Royal Army Ordnance Corps? I'd welcome your opinion. -- MightyWarrior 19:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MightyWarrior, I am trying to, but many of the articles are using ordnance in a very general way that does not correspond directly to any individual wikipedia article. For example, when referring to an ordnance depot, (ordnance depot does not have it's own article) would I link to Ammunition, Weapon, Artillery, or Bomb? An ordnance depot can contain all of these.--Hgebel 19:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For example, you replaced my edit at Didcot with a link to Royal Army Ordnance Corps, labeling my link as "not useful". However, the RAOC no longer exists, and in any case I don't think it would cover the RAF ordnance depot that the article states is located in Didcot, so I don't know how a linkto the RAOC is more useful than my link.--Hgebel 21:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Harry; thanks for letting me know! I have the page on my watch list anyway. Yeah, rather sneaky of Denni to put in the the deletion tag without notifying me. Anyway I'll have the page fixed in a day or so. Cheers M Alan Kazlev 01:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:66.202.73.102

I'm afraid that I've removed your "final warning" notice, as you added it immediately after my block notice, and it looked a bit odd. I hope that that's OK. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 17:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I think I must have been typing it in while you where doing the block.--HarryHenryGebel 18:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the warning, but…

You just posted a warning on my talk page about "unhelpful" changes to Dental caries, but all I did was revert an incorrect grammatical fix. I'm not sure how you found it unhelpful and decided it needed reversion, but the change I reverted was the problematic (but minor change). +Fenevad 03:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dental caries

Hi HarryHenryGebel. Regarding this edit, please note that dental caries, while ending in an "s", is a singular word. Fenevad's edit to the article was correct and was certainly not vandalism (I'm not a dentist myself, but I know the dentist who wrote the caries article; please note the consistent use of the singular throughout). Please be a little more careful before accusing an editor of vandalism. Thanks! · j e r s y k o talk · 03:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have left an apology on Fenevad's talk page, and logged the edit as a mistake.--HarryHenryGebel 04:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I figured you just hadn't noted the edit summary, and if you didn't know caries was singular, it certainly would look like I had made an act of petty vandalism. No harm done though, and I suppose the occasional happening like this is the price of catching real vandals. Best +Fenevad 16:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cromwell

Hi. I can't see why my edits should be considered unhelpful. They're accurate and I'm gathering reference on them. Why should they be reverted? One of the most interesting thing about Cromwell in history is the difference in view on him on the two sides of the Irish Sea. In Britain (mostly England) he is widely admired. In Ireland his memory is despised. It's a fact. Hughsheehy 19:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I agree that the difference's in view are interesting (and I am of Irish descent and am not fond of Cromwell myself), but when adding the a highly charged phrase like genocidal murderer, I think you should add the references at the same time as the the phrase.--HarryHenryGebel 19:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably true. However, I don´t have everything in the same place at the same time, so I guess if someone reverts it I´ll just come back in when I have the refs to hand. A day or so won´t change the facts or the refs. Hughsheehy 20:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I put in some refs on Cromwell in Ireland, which describe the actions as genocidal or near-genocidal. There are lots out there but after the MarkThomas revert I just put in one Irish and one non-Irish (Polish, I think, published by Cambridge University press and apparently quite respected). Also, please note that the Reilly book now referenced at the end of para 1 is seemingly highly challenged by at least one 17th century specialist in Cambridge (or Oxford...i can never remember which is which) as being a very "selective" book. I'm no Cromwell expert but have a look. Hughsheehy 07:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:NewtLivingston

He went nuts yesterday on a similar list. He wouldn't communicate, he just kept yanking the speedy templates off his page, until he was banned. The only reason I haven't noted him as a sockpuppet is that I'm at work and for the life of me cannot remember what his name was yesterday. --Mhking 03:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

February 2008

In a recent edit to the page North Sydney Girls High School, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. wikt:extra-curricular [1] DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise. I presumed the Australian spelling would be the Commonwealth form. I should have been more careful and checked. I have reverted myself back to your version. Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Stayton

Hello Harry, I'm a user from the German-language wikipedia and currently I'm workin' on a article about de:Jimmy Stayton, but there's not much I know about him. I found out that he lived in Milford, DE like you. Maybe you know some older persons in Milford who know Statyon (he was a local star back in the fifties and did barn dances). I hope you can help me a little bit. And I'm sorry for my bad English... The yodeling cowboy (talk) 07:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories

Dear User:HarryHenryGebel,

I really appreciate your interest in the UN list. It's very refreshing. I also like the idea of beautifying the article to improve legibility. Unfortunately, I believe your recent changes may have done so at the cost of functionality. You see, Wikipedia sortable tables like the one on this article currently do not distinguish between numbers and text strings. As such, leading zeros are necessary to allow the reader to sort a table sensibly by numbers; removing them makes 11 confusingly seem larger than 100 but smaller than 2. On a different point, the tailing decimal points on both the entries for Tokelau and Turks and Caicos Islands were intentionally inserted to convey that each tailing zero was a significant figure. I do not mean to disrespect you and I am happy to research a way to fix that sortable table glitch this week but failing such a revelation, I will probably revert those edits of yours. Have fun!

Sincerely, :)--Thecurran (talk) 12:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found out how to sort out the sorting, so I fixed it and brought back the two decimal points.:)--16:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Presbyterianism

Thank you for restoring the Characteristics section in the article on Presbyterianism. I too get frustrated by vandals. I was amused, however, that the section as you restored it still had some vandalism in it: it claimed that Presbyterians are governed by a "Book of Kittens." If I am to be governed by kittens, it will have to be the actual kittens and not a book. Sterrettc (talk) 18:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:30, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New deal for page patrollers

Hi HarryHenryGebel,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
