User talk:Wiki Wikardo

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here and decide to stick around. When you get a chance, drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp.

Welcome is a good place to start. Wikipedia:How does one edit a page gives editing help. Wikipedia:Manual of Style gives formatting info. Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but don't try to read it all now. Wikipedia:Help covers a broad range of useful topics. Wikipedia:Village pump is a place to ask questions. Wikipedia:Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving.

You should also feel free to drop me a question on my talk page. I'll answer if I'm here.

Happy editing, Isomorphic 06:30, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I just saw your edit to Euro. Please note that it doesn't much matter whether a date is shown as "January 1" or "1 January", though it looks nice if it's consistent within a particular article, and the Wikipedia standard is to use the local standard format, so for Euro we'd use the British/Irish "1 January" style rather than the American "January 1". What is important, however, is that all dates are Wikified so that each reader gets to see the dates in the format they chose under "preferences". -- Arwel 22:08, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Capitalization

That's an awesome user name. "Hey, Wuuuucy, I'm home!" I thought I had left the "name of your face" thing on my page. Whatever. Anyway, when I was being taught English grammar and usage, they told us that titles were spelled with capitals. Maybe the rules have changed since I was a kid. But as an example, here is this book title: "Yankee Stadium: Fifty Years of Drama". Note that only articles and prepositions are uncapitalized, unless they happen to begin the phrase, as with "A Place for Summer: A Narrative History of Tiger Stadium". d:) Wahkeenah 17:05, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

The original was just a single entry with no "attribution", and then someone else rubbed it out, which was technicall also "vandalism", even if they were trying to be helpful. So I just threw in my tupence worth and let it go at that. I reckon I should see how the EB or some other "old fashioned" encyclopedia does capitalisation. But I'm not any sort of crusade about it. As long as we have a consistent standard. d:) Wahkeenah 17:36, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Great user name. Best one I have seen yet.--Looper5920 09:02, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Capitalisation in links

Note that the capitalisation in telco is not displayed; if you want to alter it, I'm not going to stop you, but it makes absolutely no difference to how the article appears or functions. --Calair 22:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. I noticed mention of capitalisation in your edit summary and so thought it was a deliberate change, when you were actually referring to a different capitalisation issue. --Calair 00:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Two things:

1. The officialstandard abbreviation for Australian dollars is AUD or AU$. A$ is incorrect; for all I know it might refer to an entirely different currency.
2. Stop swearing in edit summaries. The contribution histories are not just another talk forum; they provides information on article provenance and are therefore a core part of the encyclopaedia that we are building. The presence of the word "shit" in edit summaries is unencyclopaedic, and it cannot be reverted. Drew (Snottygobble) | Talk 22:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Portuguese Wikipedia

Well, what I can say is the following:

1. I admit that my mistake in L.A. and "Monterrey" was pretty stupid, since I had not noticed that the link was wrong, and should be "Monterey" instead, as you had corrected, and I had not seen. (I searched the English Wikipedia for the former, so I got all messed up because of my error). For that, I apologize. I'm very sorry for the my mistake, and for the misunderstanding it created.
2. In "cidades globais", however, you should know well that, for correcting links, the use of the following: [[LINK ADRESS|ALTERNATE NAME TO BE SHOWN]], for directing a given word to an article, and not just altering one format of a given word to another (Frankfurt > Francoforte, etc) since, in the case of cities, many English names are extensively used in Portuguese, and often, they are more commonly used than their Portuguese counterparts, not being appropriate to just modify one version to another.
3. I did not put anything that you had put previously on the article "cidades globais" and was removed when the article was reverted, except removing two useless headlines, days after the reversion, which I had not noticed that were removed in your edition, because what I had seen in your edit there was only the modification of the naming of the cities from one format to another.

Cricket v Baseball

Yes... it is me. Sorry, but I'm not sure who you are - I surmise you're Indian, but I know several Indians. As for baseball in Australia, not very big at all. It's actually played mostly in winter, to avoid the competition with cricket. There are many school-level competitions, but the pro adult league died out some years ago with a whimper. -dmmaus 22:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Cantonese

Thanks for the request on my talk page. What did you mean by " there’s no vowel-initials in Cantonese "? — Instantnood 20:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Pet peeve

Why would it bother you that English Wikipedia “chooses” the English spellings of Catalonia and Majorca? —Wiki Wikardo

"Majorca" especially bothers me because I think it is archaic and falling out of use. And it often leads to a pronunciation that is dead wrong. Somewhat the same on "Catalonia", but Orwell's famous book will certainly keep that spelling in the language, if only as a common alternative. But also it is a little weird that we effectively end up with the Castilian name of a place where much of the population rather resents historic Castilian domination. -- Jmabel | Talk 00:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Forgive me if I’m wrong—no hablo bien catalán—but isn’t the difference between the Castillian spelling and the Catalan spelling of Catalonia an Ñ versus an NY? —Wiki Wikardo

That's just orthography; the issue as an "O" vs. a "U", which really does affect pronunciation. (Y yo no hablo tampoco catalán, pero puedo leerlo.) But there is another issue: In Spain, for Catalan-speaking regions, even the central government now pretty consistently uses Catalan placenames. The Spanish names, in writing, tend to suggest centralizing Spanish-nationalist politics. - Jmabel | Talk 19:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edits made during August 1 2006

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Tangotango 08:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hi, I noticed your edit summary on this edit [1]. I don't see how that is relevant to either the change or the article. Generally, it's not a good idea to add personal commentary to edit summaries, especially if they are off-topic. -- Gogo Dodo 16:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

about Cathay

Thanks for your message. I just found that the English name of 國泰航空 is Cathay Pacific. Probably that's why you added zh:国泰 as the interwikilink to Cathay. But I still don't think that Cathay is the translation of 國泰 even for the company's name. Probably the company translates 國 as Cathay, and 泰 as Pacific. Anyway 國泰 is not an indepedent word in Chinese language. It means "Peaceful State" and is usually used in the phrase of 国泰民安 (state is peaceful and the people are safe). So we do not need to find a specific English word for 國泰. Thanks. --Neo-Jay 08:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, many thanks for your information. I found that it was as early as 1921 when 国泰 was translated as Cathay (for a ship's name). Probably the other 国泰 companies just followed this translation. --Neo-Jay 14:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

You are right. Some, if not many, 國泰 companies do not use Cathay as their English names. I also had found that many, if not most, mainland China 国泰 companies use "Guotai" as the translation. See, e.g., 国泰基金, 上海市国泰电影院, 国泰君安证券研究所, and 江苏国泰国际集团. Thank YOU for your quesiton and research. --Neo-Jay 01:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

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) 18:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Speedy deletion nomination of Suspension of habeas corpus

Hello, Wiki Wikardo,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Meatsgains and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged Suspension of habeas corpus for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Meatsgains}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
