I refer to your edit here. Kindly note that there is no requirement that the lead be referenced, only that it adequately summarises content in the body of the article, which in turn should be adequately sourced. However, I won't revert you. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 02:36, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Financial crisis of 2007–2010

This edit is completely uncalled for, I'm afraid. Please don't throw around accusations like that. There is a discussion in progress on the talk page. StAnselm (talk) 06:26, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Chinese calendar/doc/doc

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:50, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Dash in wikipedia titles

I noticed in Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 86#Italicize part of the article title that you had a problem with {{str rep}} and with other issues. I only noticed afterward that you fixed {{str rep}} and later a friend of mine fixed {{str rep}} which had the same bug. With regards to the hyphen in the names List of Case Closed volumes (1–20), if you examine it closely you will recognize that what you thought was a simple ASCII character hyphen-minus character instead a Unicode dash. There is also an article on hyphen. To more easily recognize this Unicode character, you can cut-and-paste the URL and see that it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Case_Closed_volumes_(1%E2%80%9320) and the dash character is encoded as %E2%80%93 . More specifically, that is an Dash#En dash character. I think that the str templates are not very good at handling some Unicode characters. This hyphen-vs.-dash distinction helps to distinguish between when it might be a mathematical minus sign or other characters. It is a fine point that documentation, typesetting and printing people care about more than most other people computer business so the creator of that article must have decided to use that special character.--Rootover (talk) 07:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

I've left Wikipedia for about 2 months and I found your message today. Thank you for your explanation. --Quest for Truth (talk) 07:57, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi! A request for your input

Per wp:CANVASSING, this is a neutrally worded notice being sent, without any type of "selection" bias, to everyone that edited fairly recently the MOS page about how to term the Latter Day Saints denominations on Wikipedia in the belief that your various and collective expertise or expertises, if that's a plural, can help us improve its wording, if possible. a bit. The most pertinent section is here. And the issue is to what degree the terms "Mormon church" and "LDS church" relate to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in specific, and to what kind of sourcing should be used to document this. Thanks, if you find time and the interest to look into the matter and offer your opinion or commentary.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 23:20, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Hidden navbar on Template:Asbox

Howdy. In my eternal trawling of the database for odd-looking fish, I've come across the hidden navbar on the Asbox template. I'm trying to assess the usefulness of this feature; as one of either it's users or implementers, I'd like to draw your attention to Template talk:Asbox#Why the navbar ?. - TB (talk) 21:08, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
