Have you read what u are talking about? --87.97.53.108 (talk) 23:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
This article is about a saying. Do you know, what does "saying" mean? --87.97.53.108(talk) 23:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Ok, thank you. You should watch out for User:195.49.188.146 instead. --87.97.53.108(talk) 23:56, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Maybe, once. Have fun. Bye. --87.97.53.108 (talk) 23:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
MP OOK link draft
They'll never go for that. In the design effort of the current main page, 4 columns for the portal links were decided against because there's not enough room at 600x800 resolution on many machines to display the header without the page going off the right hand side of the screen (which forces the user to horizontal scroll, which is very inconvenient). The Transhumanist 01:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Portals are mini-versions of the main page, but for subjects. So the main page supporters have a special affinity for portals. My guess is that they will view any sharing of the portal link area as disrupting that set of portal links.
We need to come up with something else. Where else could you put it? The Transhumanist 01:35, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- I put in in the strapline. I think it should be noticable while not causing a problem. Tarheel95 (talk) 02:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I don't understand your change of my tag in this article. I feel either db-hoax or db-person would have qualified and I chose db-hoax since it was less of a notability issue and more about vandalism. I use db-person when it is a middle school kid adding his girlfriend or someone adding an article about themselves. I feel this was clearly someone trying to be funny and deserved a vandalism warning. Thanks for any insight you provide.--TParis00ap (talk) 20:23, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- No trouble at all, I just wasn't sure if you were seeing something I wasn't or if I interpreted policy wrong. I wasn't sure if I was in the wrong or not. Thanks!--TParis00ap (talk) 02:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Outline Update - expanding the Outline of Knowledge - 2009-10-05
Time for some catching up...
- Special award and thanks to Buaidh
Congratulations and kudos to Buaidh, the first recipient of the Wikipedia World Developer Award, and the first inductee into the Outline of Knowledge WikiProject's Hall of Fame.
The award was announced about 2 months agos on the WikiProject's talk page, and on Wikipedia's Community Bulletin Board.
Buaidh created the historical outlines for all of the U.S. States, the U.S. capital, and most of the U.S. insular areas. He has also worked indefatigably day after day, improving all of the outlines of the U.S. States, and the outlines of all of the countries of the world!
- Who's been up to what?
- Buaidh, working hard on the country outlines.
- Highfields, MacMed, and I worked on the see also sections of the subject articles corresponding to the outlines (adding or updating the links to the relevant outlines and indexes).
- Wiki-Zombies
Discussions can sure be frustrating - try getting a proposal through on a guideline's talk page sometime. Most of the time, it seems like the opposition is mindlessly following each other, like...
Zombies. (You've got to see this).
- Outline of Knowledge
Yes, it's a proper noun. It's only proper, since we also have an article called Outline of knowledge which is about knowledge generically.
- OOK expansion!
After a couple month vacation, I'm ready to slam the gas pedal to the floor. Are you?
Things are speeding up!
Take a look...
- New to the OOK
The following outlines have been added to the OOK within the past couple of months or so. Some of them were renames, some of them brand new, and some of them recently discovered after sitting in article space for awhile as orphans.
