Tyler Florence edits

Thanks - a considerable improvement. Wikidemon (talk) 18:11, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Stem (bicycle part)

Nice work on the Stem article! 842U (talk) 22:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

You did all the work. I just tweaked the results. Hope you don't mind. -AndrewDressel (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what this means "The threadless stem's centering can be adjusted without disturbing handlebar height." -AndrewDressel (talk) 13:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

With a threadless stem, if the handlebars aren't centered, facing forward, you can adjust that centering and because the headset can only rotate and not move up or down, you won't disturb the handlebar height. On a quill stem, the second you free up the stem to adjust it, you have to manage the stem in two dimensional planes: lateral as well as vertical.

Maybe there's a better way of saying this in the article. 842U (talk) 14:18, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

NYC clean-up

Barnstar

Well I know how tempting it can be to just walk away from an argument, especially one against a stubborn mule -- and sometimes walking away is the right thing to do, but I think the MoS over-reactions in this case merited your continued arguing and hopefully common sense will prevail in the end. So thanks, "on behalf of the project", for not taking the easy way out. Sherurcij 00:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Cycling in New York City

I've noticed the considerable clean up and edits, however it may be best to work on the changes you wish to make using Show preview or Show changes rather than making edits and saving the page each team for small additions. It would save your time and its easier for people to see your contributions to the page. Thanks--CorrectlyContentious 14:52, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Caravan reply

I'm not sure what you meant in your previous message. Unless I'm missing something, the white 4th-gen Caravan image is in the infobox, not with any text about the Grand Caravan. I had only switched the Grand Caravan image out of the infobox because it's a bit blurrier. IFCAR (talk) 23:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

geobox

I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean you would like to exclude some of the information in the new box, simply leave the fields blank, and nothing will appear. If you mean that you would like to include features that aren't apparent in the new mountainbox template, you would use the "free" fields to include them. I just left some instructions on how to do so here: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mountains. Once you get the hang of the new form, it's quite easy to use, but there is a slight learnign curve to overcome. There's a price for change. . .even good change.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 13:59, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

If you mean, "is there a way to adapt the features of the new mountainbox into the old mountainbox", I don't know. If there is, it would require a rewrite of the template itself. I think that was the point of creating the new version in the first place. If there is something unappealing about the new version (the color?), then perhaps the new version should be changed, not the old version.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 14:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

NoMoreLinks text

Was the comment text in copied from another article? The comment contains {{NoMoreLinks}} and that is a way to indicate it was made with {{subst:NoMoreLinks}} which substitutes {{NoMoreLinks}}, but that template currently has another text. It's a little confusing when the comment still indicates it was made with {{NoMoreLinks}}. I guess it was originally made like that on another article at a time where {{NoMoreLinks}} had another text. PrimeHunter (talk) 17:19, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

great observation

Who cares if the media calls it "Miracle on the Hudson"? I completely agree! Does Donald Trump's article mention "Best Sex I Ever Had", which was a newspaper headline? I hope not! Chergles (talk) 21:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Escaped vs Rescued

While the passengers and aircrew of Flight 1549 escaped (evacuated) the Airbus 320 on their own ("active"), their subsequent rescue from the plane's wings and inflated slides was made by and with the assistance of others ("passive") who arrived in ferry boats and other watercraft after they had escaped from the cabin. These were two separate actions -- the first "active" and the second "passive" -- which both occurred. (Centpacrr (talk) 06:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC))

Vandalism warning

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Netbook, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Reverting 1/2 a day's well referenced research without so much as an edit summary is not on - you should know that. I see this is not the first time you have reverted my edits, but I trust it will be the last. You may have been the most active contributor until now but as the article doesn't reflect reality it shouldn't be all that surprising that others would help out. -- samj _in 17:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
