JScript article
Hi - Looks like I'm working on JScript along with you right now. I think your changes have really improved the article. Regarding the reversion of "Notes to the tables" back to "Notes", it's fine with me. I have a question though - isn't References the place for all the usual references? I thought that Notes was where you put the Table Notes after moving them from beneath the tables. I also see that some articles label the References as Notes. I'm new to Wikipedia so I find this confusing, but perhaps there is a guideline for this? DonToto (talk) 05:27, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- In JScript, References is a collection of sources referred to inline throughout the article while Notes stores information that either wouldn't fit or wouldn't make sense anyplace else in the article (footnotes, basically). That's just my opinion, though, based on how similar articles are structured. The official manual of style describes a combined section for sources and notes, but it's not completely against the use of footnotes. There's really no wrong way to do this, and the notes in this article are basically just a group of references.
--Gyrobo (talk) 14:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)- Sounds good. I'll check out those guidelines. Regarding JScript article, I have a few more suggestions which I will shortly put on the talk page. Thanks for your help. DonToto (talk) 02:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
Barnstar
Thanks for making it! Looks nice. As you saw, I've put it to good use already. Cheers, Pete Tillman 01:30, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Two days ago, I thought (again), "I should really get on Photoshop and make a geology or Earth science barnstar." And now you've made it! It looks great, thanks so much. Awickert (talk) 05:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, someone made File:Geology barnstar.png about 2½ years ago, but it was never on the English Wikipedia. I didn't even know it existed until I tried uploading my image (which I think is better, anyway).

- Never saw that one, & I agree. Thx again, Pete Tillman 17:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- And after a short discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards, someone came up with an even better image.

Thanks
for fixing the link to the Bedfordshire barnstar :) I didn't know that the added colon did that, as you can see from my previous attempts in the page history. Any thoughts? Thanks, once again :) Acather96 (talk) 18:08, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- I've uploaded a new version of File:WikiProject Bedfordshire Barnstar.png to make the background transparent, and the image less blurry. Hope that's okay.

| For overhaulting the WikiProject Bedfordshire Barnstar, I award you, this barnstar :) Acather96 (talk) 18:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC) |
P.S Is there any chance that you could provide me with that flag (with texture) so I could submit it as a ribbon. I will credit your name in helping designing. Acather96 (talk) 18:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- I've uploaded File:Bedfordshire flag cloth.png. Does it look too coarse? I think I may have overdone the texturing.

background-clip, background-origin and background-size
I am afraid that you are incorrect. The patch was landed in this bug not the one stated in your revert. The item listed in your revert is about the use of the properties in the SeaMonkey UI - not in the Gecko code.
