I-29 stub

Is there a specific reason you de-stubbed I-29 without expanding and/or improving the article?
Metallic95 User Page | Talk 03:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Metallic95. I started writing a response to your inquiry when I realized it might be more useful to make a more general response, since other people may come here in the future, wondering the same. Please read what I wrote at User:S Sepp about stubs, especially the third paragraph. S Sepp 10:57, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

You have a point, but one could add some important info (exit list, route description) with simple research. Frankly, I don't care that much.

Metallic95 User Page | Talk 13:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I have restubbed it. S Sepp 14:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I would have de-stubbed the article also. Review of the Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Assessment guidelines clearly shows Interstate 29 is start class not stub class as it not only contains a particularly useful picture or graphic it also has multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic and multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article having three of the four puts it border line on being B class per Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. So it is at or close to two levels above stub. Jeepday (talk) 01:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes, nice find. Back then I didn't know about checking with the wikiproject yet, but its very useful, as it gives some concrete guidelines and, if followed consistently, creates consistency. S Sepp 09:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Stubsensor cleanup project; you can help! :) Jeepday (talk) 02:23, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. S Sepp 15:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

RE:

Sorry, I was in "revert mode" when I did that in addition to being logged onto #vandalism-en-wp. The bot on that channel only gave me one diff, and it wasn't the one with the now-restored sections. Glad to hear that you restored it, of course :-) ~ Magnus animuM ≈ √∞ 15:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

re:

That comment wasn't aimed at you. It was more that I had to go back to a 14 day old revision to find a non-vandalised version, on a page that has plenty of traffic and other edits, which seems to be happening more and more often. —Xezbeth 21:37, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Indic Font Size Help!

Hey Thanks for your message on the forum. I tried the Wikipedia:Bugzilla, but the feature request forum is currently inactive! What do I do?

Thanks!! Will try the new link now!!!!

hello,

Independent speedy deletion

“Independent” is sometimes affiliated with the Independent Party where as unaffiliated strives not to have any affiliation. In an ideal world there would not be such a semantic distinction. My definition was in NO way meant to dishonor the independent candidates. Can we work a compromise? Co

Biography Page

Hello S Sepp,

Thank you for your help with the Biography page. There is another link to the 'By Name' that needs to be amended, but I do not know how to do it. If you open the 'By People' page, you will see an infobox on the right hand side. The link to 'By Name' no longer works. Are you able to fix this?

Many thanks

MaryLou71 19:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

As you can see, I haven't mastered the 'reply' function, but wanted to say thank you for your message. I have to say that it all seems a bit complicated at the moment. I thought I could just help out with tidying up, but every function I look at seems more complicated than the previous one! Do you need to be a programmer/developer to be of any real use?

I can do the spelling/grammatical mistakes, but am at a loss with most of the other things. Even reading the manuals isn't much help!

Well, thanks anyway and it was nice of you to welcome me, makes me feel part of the community :-) MaryLou71 19:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry, but I was on an article and organ(anatomy) was in red so I was surprised that it was in red. I thought Wikipedia did not make this article. --Jorge 22:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Reversion

It is my final revert, as a user is constantly vandalising the same page despite several warnings. He has been reported for abuse, and no more reversions shall take place. - Gazdakka Gizbang 7:34PM, 5th June 2007 (EST)
