Welcome to the Typo Team!

Just wanted to say 'hi'. Jason Quinn (talk) 15:03, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

for your help with Urotrichini. I hope you enjoyed reading about these Japanese Shrew-moles. Please help with the problem with the pictures described on the talk page if you can. Chrisrus (talk) 20:26, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AWB

Re [1], you may want to check the AWB "rules" again. The fourth rule there discourages edits like that, because they cause many other editors (probably at least one per page you edit) to have to check your edit to see what changed, which isn't very efficient. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:16, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nay to née

To change "nee" to "née" is hypercorrection, not typo fixing. The trend in English is toward dropping accents and such, and you will find many if not most dictionaries show "nee" without comment. --Milkbreath (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. I'll remember that. --Michal Nebyla (talk) 19:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I love it when people do what I want. It almost never happens, though. Be aware that there may be a difference among the varieties of English. I'm pretty sure that the British like "née" where an American would probably put "nee". I don't know about the Australians or Indians or Jamaicans, to name three others. The Wikipedia manual of style wants us to use British spellings in articles about British things, and American about American, and so on, unless one style or the other is already prevalent in the article, or there is no particular reason to use one or the other, in which case we're supposed to go with the way we find it. --Milkbreath (talk) 22:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan

What makes you think that the article Naan Qalia is orphan ? Keeping in mind the size of the article, the links directing to wikipedia articles are more than enough. If you have an explanation for the same, you are most welcome for a discussion. Nefirious (talk) 05:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're confusing orphan with the article that needs to be wikified. Orphan is a page with less than three links from other pages. Excluded are links from lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, pages outside of article namespace etc. To the article Naan Qalia link no pages from the article namespace (as you can see if you click "What links here" on the left side of the page). I think it's safe to say that the article in question is an orphan. For further explanation see Wikipedia:Orphan. With regards --Michal Nebyla (talk) 19:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Michal, please note that the page titled Woodward Stakes top three finishers has over 50 wikipedia links to other articles on Stakes races or Horses. It is set up in an exact template fashion that over 200 other stakes races have been set up in the uniform manner that has been established and agreed upon in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Thoroughbred racing talk forum. A tireless amount of effort has gone in to maintaining guidelines related to these pages. You are welcome to research. Please do not orphan these pages.--Craiglduncan (talk) 15:26, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tyops an' things

Greetings Michal Nebyla - just thought I'd point out that the minor tweak you did at Sopwith Camel doesn't really come under the term ~~tyop~~ typo. Don't remember offhand, and can't really be bothered :) , what the exact MoS‎ is on that, but have the vague idea that British subject = British English. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 15:59, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just came to mention the same thing I have reverted you spelling change from American English back to English English refer WP:ENGVAR. It was wrong but AWB then changed it to the US spelling rather than the english. Thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 18:59, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I usually stick to the rule that says to use British spelling in articles about British things and American spelling in articles about American things. In this case I didn't realise that the word manoeuvre/maneuvre could be spelled both ways. It won't happen again. --Michal Nebyla (talk) 19:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

		The Minor Barnstar
		Thank you for your fixes at Nisko Plan and History of Pomerania. Since your edits have improved other articles I have watchlisted, too, and after reviewing your contribution log, I feel obliged to award you this barnstar. Your edits, though marked as minor, have a very positive impact on lots of articles. Thank you very much. Skäpperöd (talk) 11:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ready to volunteer your precious time?

Dobryden Hiya Michal: Thanks for your capable good work on Kronotsky Nature Reserve. I've on the lookouts for a sharp ~~yung~~ young guy—your wrap sheet makes a good candidate—to do a wee bit of translating (English --> Russian and Czech) in order to help promote a little world trade, under the title of Japan-Korea Undersea Tunnel.

By my perspective, Russia would gain significantly from the use of their Trans-Siberian rail system if they would allow trains to travel between Western Europe and Japan through North Korea, so anything they can do to encourage Pyongyang to engage in this process would benefit all, hence the interest in transferring this article into Russian and similar languages. I also have a hankering to do the same for Environmental Tariff, but now that Obama's in the driver's seat I've put that on the backburner —that article just needs to be improved in general. Let me know if you or any of your associates can assist in these world peace endeavors..... Tnx, good luck and clear skies to 'ya... HarryZilber (talk) 22:21, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Harry! I don't speak Russian, so the only thing I can do is to translate the article into Czech or Slovak. I hope you're not in a hurry because it may take couple of weeks since I'm going to have not much spare time in the near future. With regards --Michal Nebyla (talk) 17:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya again: 'later' is always better than never! Yes please, I'd appreciate it in Czech; you could also start it off quickly with only the first sentence and then add a {translation} tag at the top for others to also assist. In return, let me know if I can translate anything for you from English into English ;-) Tnx muchly and best...... HarryZilber (talk) 18:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AWB hiccup?

at least I think that's what this was. I removed it, please let me know if I was in error. Thanks! StarM 05:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

English vs. english in Billiards related articles

Hi Michal. Thanks for the cleanup work! Regarding your edit to carom billiards, please note English is not capitalized when used as as a term for sidespin in billiards disciplines, just as the "french" in french fries is not capitalized. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:28, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Categorized Digital Line Graph Article

Hello, Michal. I'm still a little new and I recalled that I had forgotten to categorize my latest article, Digital line graph, but when I returned to it I saw that you were on the ball and tagged it. Thank you. I have now categorized it and removed the tag. Thanks again. Armysurveyor (talk) 02:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DEFAULTSORT/Lifetime

Please do not "correct" the sort keys in DEFAULTSORT statements or Lifetime templates by adding accents to characters; omission of the accents is intentional, because adding them creates mis-sorting. The sort keys DO NOT DISPLAY anywhere, they merely control sort order. Please see the (currently) 3rd bullet point of WP:MCSTJR. Studerby (talk) 19:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for the trouble I caused. AWB makes the changes automatically and I didn't realize the importance of DEFAULTSORT, so I let it be and didn't correct it back. I'll keep it in mind when I use AWB next time. --Michal Nebyla (talk) 20:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reference style - reversion

Michael - Thanks for the Typo fixes in USRC Thomas Corwin (1876) Unfortunately, I am going to have to blanket revert the changes because of the changes the bot made to the citation system. I am particularly opposed to this because the Name= format with lettered invocations is very awkward to work with when editing an article of any appreciable size. Straight numbered references can be traced back readily in the text, the letters can't.

This is sometimes an issue for readers too.

Per WP:Ref "editors should not change an article with a distinctive citation format to another without gaining consensus. Where no agreement can be reached, defer to the style used by the first major contributor."

I will try to find the typos you flagged and fix them.Dankarl (talk) 18:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

diacritics

Please do not use diacritics on North American ice hockey articles. We have a policy in the WP:HOCKEY project group not to use them. This has been discussed in WT:HOCKEY extensively. Alaney2k (talk) 16:16, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bundesautobahn 9

Hi Michal, a snowball question: why German reunification instead of german reunification? Think you're wrong here, but then, I could be. KapHorn (talk) 07:42, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi KapHorn! In English adjectives derived from proper nouns are usually capitalized. I did a little research on the internet and this is what I found. German with a lower case "g" is an intricate dance for many couples or a near relative. German with an upper case "G" is something of, relating to, or characteristic of Germany or its people or language.
I think that the adjective "German" in "German reunification" fits the criteria for the upper case "G". For further explanation see: Capitalization#Adjectives, List of case sensitive English words, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/german?x=0&y=0
With regards --Michal Nebyla (talk) 19:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thnx - again, learned something! KapHorn —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.230.239.23 (talk) 09:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Warren James

Thank you for cleaning up this page, but there is another problem with it that I haven't been able fix; To make way for the page I moved an article (previously called 'Warren James' to 'Warren James Jewellers'. The original article seems to be of little importance, has no links to it and in my opinion has less claim to the page title now occupied by the current subject.

The problem this; when a user clicks the discussion tab, on the 'Warren James' page, it leads to the 'Warren James Jewellers' talk page. Once there, clicking on the article tab doesn't return you to the 'Warren James' page, but to the 'Warren James Jewellers' article page. Do you know how to stop this? Obscurasky (talk) 23:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I fixed it. I've never done this before, so I screwed up at first, but it is OK now. --Michal Nebyla (talk) 23:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. Obscurasky (talk) 23:50, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Microchip implant / animal

Hi Michal, This page is a little different, compared with most of the other wiki articles.

The page of 'Microchip implant / animal' is full of commercial names and links, simply because this page is about microchip implants and the differences in commercial brands. Some of these commercial brand names have even an own wiki page !

Please Michal, don't be discriminating when removing things. If you remove this added link, then all commercial names and links of this pages will have to be removed. But if we do this, the page will be almost empty and many other people will have more comment on the removal of all of the names. The added link is relevant to the subject and to the text of the subject. And is not put in the text itself (as many other commercial names and links). But it is nicely put completely below under the article in the proper relevant subject of 'External Links', where it belongs.

Hello! What would be your response to persistent external links spamming when explanation doesn't help? --Michal Nebyla (talk) 19:58, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look through dispute resolution. Getting a third opinion is often a good first step, since it indicates to the link inserter that itis not just your idea that it shouldn't be included, but a generally accepted one. Fram (talk) 06:51, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note from ARRTAF to Michal Nebyla - the external links that were added to Ralph Petty were not 'spam', and were not 'vandalism' - they were meant to link the reader of this article to examples of the artist's works.

Hi Michal, I edited the page Mahesh. The content on the page was not verifiable and I have classified it as vandalism and Im 100% sure that this page is utter nonsense so it would be nice if you could either delete or notify at the heading that it is nonsense.

Hello. I see you have removed the Serbia stub from the Đorđe Vujadinović article. Any reason? FkpCascais (talk) 02:20, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in my opinion the article was long enough and comprehensive enough to not be tagged as a stub. --Michal Nebyla (talk) 12:17, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK. It should be left out then. Thanx. FkpCascais (talk) 21:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not nonconstructive edits

I got a message with your name, saying that my "nonconstructive edits" to Bernard of Niemodlin appear to be vandalism. I don't believe they were nonconstructive. I'm trying to set consistency in the sort order in the category House of Piast. I explained it in the talk page at that category. The preponderance of entries in that category that have the form "(given name) of (place)" are alphabetized under the given name. In particular, there are several people "of Niemodlin" and they are, mostly, alphabetized by name. I've been doing this with quite a few, and only this one is a problem.

I've been putting the explanation with my edit, as advised. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 21:08, 15 October 2009 (UTC) Stephen Kosciesza[reply]

Please read the article, before you correct it without thinking

Some time ago you have corrected so-called "typos" in an article on George Joye. If you had cared to read the article, you would have realized that these are sixteenth century titles, which were presented in the original spelling. You are the third person to "correct" the sixteenth century spelling to modern spelling. Why do you correct an article without taking a look at its content or the discussion page? GJ1535 (talk) 20:14, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stitch! episode guide

Just wondering why you called Minimac94's edits vandalism on the Stitch! episode list page. He/she removed rather fake sounding episode descriptions for episodes that haven't even aired yet, have no source or explanations given, and were made by the same person who's been vandalizing the main Stitch! article (particularly the cast list). I'd been contemplating removing them as unverifiable myself, actually, so I was just wondering if you know something that we don't. Thanks. Busspedia (talk) 01:16, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I called 75.181.17.208's edit vandalism, not Minimac94's. I did it because he deleted a large portion of text without explanation. Now I admit that I've made a mistake when I didn't check if the edit was good or bad. I apologize for that. However, it would be helpful if editors took the time to fill in an edit summary, so their actions wouldn't be confused with vandalism. Regards --Michal Nebyla (talk) 21:31, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ohh, you're right, I read the revision text completely wrong. Sorry about that! And thanks for the reply. Busspedia (talk) 00:22, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prague Castle - external links, see also

hello, why you deleted external link to another Prague Castle? You wrote because of Links normally to be avoided - which rule is relevant for doing this, please?

--Prague-boy (talk) 17:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, external links should provide additional useful and on-topic information that couldn't be added to the article. The Prague Castle Blahutovo is only indirectly related to the Prague Castle through similar name. The page says it itself:

Prague Castle Blahutovo has nothing to do with the famous Prague Castle.

--Michal Nebyla (talk) 19:11, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, nothing besides name - if you are user and are looking for Prague Castle, you will have probably no problem with link to other Castle often called "Prague Ccastle" - especially, if there is note about that. So can I add it back, please?

Wikified article about author Judith R. Frazin

Hi, Michal -- First -- thanks for cleaning up the article on Judith R. Frazin in August 2009 (been a few months since I looked at it!). I saw that you also added a "wikify" label, suggesting more internal links or some reformatting of the article. I added three internal links. I then removed the "wikify" label. I apologize if that is against etiquette, to remove or revert your wikify label. If the article still needs work, please let me know what I can do, and if you have any suggestions about reformating. I thought about trying to find a photo of Ms. Frazin, and I did find one online, but it seems to be copyrighted so I can't use it. --MervynP1972 (talk) 21:41, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mervyn! You are welcome. It wasn't much work, though. You did a good job with the internal links. And you certainly have no reason to apologize, the tag became redundant after your edit. Today I made some cosmetic changes and I think the article is pretty good. The only thing I can think of that could be done is adding Ms. Frazin's birthday. I did a little search on the internet but I wasn't successful. With regards --Michal Nebyla (talk) 23:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
