Strawpoll

Hello Bethling. First of all, the city of Boston has 559,034 as stated on their page. Since the city of Boston only contains this number, this is the population they have, and the population, based on the city defined boundaries does not include all of the metro area. To include all of the metro area would mean including other cities than Boston in the equation, when those numbers do not belong to Boston. I will fix Austin, I just caught the mistake. Thanks.

How do you feel about the overall structure? It is hard to narrow it down to make just one strawpoll. Ericsaindon2 06:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Help Needed

Please!

Who are you, could you tell me?

First let me know who are you, where from and why are you editing Salim Saifullah's Page?

I surely need help by you.

I haven't inserted those.

Even I myself am against that.

Salim Saifullah Khan

It was recently closed as a speedy keep due to a bad faith nom. You were probably just being a good samaritan in listing it for your friend above but I would recommend the next time you do such a listing to make clear if you're neutral or have no vote. At first glance it would look like you're doing the bad faith nom. Just an FYI. 205.157.110.11 11:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Bethling!

Thank you so much for supporting my RfA! It ended up passing and I'm rather humbled by the support (and a bit surprised that it was snowballed a day early!). Please let me know if I can help you out and I welcome any comments, questions, or advice you wish to share.

Sláinte!

 Big shiny welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Firefly WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Firefly's coverage of topics.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our style guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Firefly article in Misplaced Pages.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow Browncoat, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Keep flyin'plange 01:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

J. Appleseed

Thanks for the careful work you put into appraising Johnny Appleseed.

There's a compatibility issue with Cite.php and Template:cquote. If you put the citation within the excerpt, it looks like the citation is being quoted, which is obviously a fraud upon the user. If you put the citation after the excerpt, it ends up against the left margin, a consider distance below the excerpt, where it isn't recognizable as a superscript pertaining to the excerpt. The only place that works is to put it before the excerpt.

You will notice that because of that incompatibility, there are textual inline citations identifying the source for each excerpt in addition to the footnotes. In the case of Howe, there was material which indicated the historical value of the source; however, in the other two cases, the lead-in was essentially saying the same thing as the footnote, so I had originally omitted the footnotes as redundant.

I believe everything should pass muster now. Thanks for the other suggestions as well. ClairSamoht - Help make Misplaced Pages the most authoritative source of information in the world 07:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
