| == disambiguation pages == | |||
| Per ], there are no wikilinks on disambiguation pages except the articles being disambiguated. I've reverted the change to link ]ing. ] 22:31, 29 November 2005 (UTC) | |||

| I admit 'found success in the English-speaking market' was a bit much (which is to say Britain, Australia and the US), and may have unfairly weighted the translations a teensy bit. | |||
| Thank you very much for editing the article, and putting in the ISBN of the Turgenev book. Your edits were like a shot in the article's arm. | |||

| ==Actors/Actresses== | |||
| Hi, and thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages! I noticed that you've contributed several articles recently for actors/actresses, with links to IMDb.com. This is great, but I thought you might want to look at Misplaced Pages's ] which details how to add external links (i.e., under their own section heading) and other content to an article. Happy wiki-ing! --]<sup><small>(])</small></sup> 04:43, 5 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

| Not sure what angle you're going about it from, but you're doing great work cleaning up a bunch of articles starting with C. I'm going through the ] and you've beaten me to everything. There's usually no one but me working on articles that deep. Keep up the good work! --] 06:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Sources for Time trial bicycle== | |||
| Hello, good work on ], and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Misplaced Pages accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to ] they used when adding content. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in ]? You can simply add links, or see ] for different citation methods. Thanks! ]|]|] 13:49, 7 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :I did not write the original Time trial bicycle, I just added a stub cat to it. I have now also added a "unsourced" tag to it. 69.181.82.102 19:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| ::Oops, my error. I've asked the original author for sources now. Thanks for getting back to me! ]|]|] 19:24, 7 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == Categories == | |||
| Hi there, I noticed you did some work on categorization, thank you for that. But I'd like to request that you take care of two things: setting a stub on a page is not enough to categorize it. It's better to have one or two real categories, plus a stub if it's a short article. Also, if you set a stub, try to make it as specific as possible, as otherwise, you get huge lists of stubs hard to sort such as US-stub. Thanks. -- ] 23:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| : That's grreat, thanks. And I agree with you on the neeed to have sorting options for articles in categories. Just a last point: a stub is just a temporary flag, and not a "real" category. As soon as enough content has been added, that will disappear. This is why I think we should always try to not only set up the stub, but also the real, final categories, when we deal with a page. -- ] 00:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :: Let me give you an example which might make some sense: you find an article about some obscure battle during the American Civil War. You could just tag it "US-stub" or "war-stub" and be done. But if you categorize it under "Battles of the American Civil War", some history buff will be looking at changes in that category, see the new article and start working on it, and the article will grow quickly. In fact, categorization is just that: we filter articles so that people interested in editing narrow topics have their jobs made easier. Makes sense ? -- ] 09:29, 8 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :: PS: I don't categorize crappy garage bands either :) -- ] 09:29, 8 December 2005 (UTC) | |||
