Gurmukhi Script

Hi

Is there a particular reason why Gurmukhi has been moved to Gurmukhi script? The only thing that the word Gurmukhi relates to is the script so should it not stay as it is (like Devanagari) ? Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 16:54, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sukh, I agree that the suffix "script" is not strictly necessary, but I think it adds clarity. It also conforms to the naming of articles about other scripts. Compare with languages: the title of language articles is normally of the form "XXX language", even when the suffix language is not necessary (although again there are exceptions, such as Hindi). Additionally the use of the term "script" in the article title makes it easier when you are doing actions that apply to a lot of articles, such as categorising them, or editing lists etc. (For the record I also think Devanagari should be changed to Devanagari script...)Martin.Budden 17:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Monarch templates

HI, I'll see what I can do about the font sizes. As for the title, I think it's probably OK to leave it. Actually, I would like to see Template:Infobox Monarch used on all the British monarch pages. I don't much care for the British Royalty Template:House of Stuart style templates, there's no need to list everybody's children. --JW1805 17:39, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From the Editors

The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below)

We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page

New irc channel

Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network:

#wikipedia-en-bio

Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

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). 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 you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 19:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
