Nice work!

Great work on fungicide! It's amazing how after 149 edits by 26 editors, nearly all of the content on that page has been added in 2 edits by Million_Moments ([1]) and yourself.

Anyway, you certainly know how to write an encyclopedia... I hope you'll stick around :-) Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 15:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Whoa!

Hey. I was watching the new pages log and I noticed you created Major Uses of Fungicides. Nice! I don't know if I've ever seen a page like that at all on Wikipedia. Good job on referencing everything as well. I would like to point out something that could've made referencing a heck of a lot easier. If you enable this tool in your "my preferences" in the top right of Wikipedia, then it would simplify things! Namely, it would allow you to easily "name references" so that you can cite the same reference many times in one article w/o needing to create a new place for that reference each time. For example, you have several references listed like 10 times each, making the "total" amount of references somewhere around 350 475. With that citation tool, you could probably get the number considerably lower since. Killiondude (talk) 07:34, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, you go to "my preferences", then you go to the "gadgets" tab and you can enable it there. I forgot to finish what I began to say. Killiondude (talk) 07:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: more thanks

No worries at all... it's a pleasure to copyedit a well-researched and sensibly structured article. Not to mention a chance for me to learn a lot. Keep up the good work :-) Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 03:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Link Help

{{helpme}}

Hey, i was hoping someone out there could give me a hand. I'm editing an article I started last week, Uses of Fungicides, but I need clarificaiton on links within wikipedia articles. Basically what I am wondering is within an article how often do you make a word link to another wikipedia article? For example in uses of fungicides the article talks about many different U.S. states many times. Now what I am wondering is let's say for California how often do I link to the California page when I mention the state? Only the first time? Everytime? It is a lengthy article so it seems like I should link to it more than once but not every single time. I tried to find wikipedia guidelines on this somewhere but kinda struggled to so I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light. Thanks! CPRI04 (talk) 18:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Only the first time. See MOS:LINK for more linking help. Xenon54 (talk) 18:06, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Yilloslime, sorry about that! My question is how can I show that I do have permission from the copyright holder? As part of my job I do extensive crop protection research and as a result have worked with Leonard Gianessi before. I actually do have his permission to use that material. I spoke to him before I put it up on wikipedia and asked him if he was ok with it and he has said he does not mind. His report was not disseminated very well when it was first published so he was happy to hear that his work could at least have an impact here. So just let me know how to show I do have the permission and I will get that up right away! Again, sorry about that. --CPRI04 (talk) 20:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
