Edit request on 9 April 2012

Hello, I have noticed that on the page for Ed Helms, it says he was in the movie "The Muppets" while on the page for the movie, it says that he was cut from the film. Therefore Ed Helms was not actually in the movie. IO know this doesn't sound like a huge mistake, but I am new and would like to do everything I can to help. Thank you for reading this message.

Yodding and nodding

edit

I have made a new word called yodding this is a verb. Yodding is the act moving your head up and down in the form of answering yes to a question. Now the word nodding means the act of moving your head up and down, but the letters no in nodding lead me to think of answering no. So i am trying to change nodding to be the act of moving your head side to side in the form of answering no to a question.(Nigel101 (talk) 04:09, 13 May 2012 (UTC))Reply

Please perform this edit on this page, with the reason being: "Fixing obsolete table attributes". (tJosve05a (c) 23:37, 27 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

There are several changes in that edit which are nothing to do with attribute obsolescence. For instance, the declaration background:transparent; has become background:none; - but transparent is still a perfectly valid value for the background property in CSS3, and is the default value for the property. Then you have replaced an ellipsis comprising three full stops with the pre-composed ellipsis character - which is not recommended; there are three instances of this. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:18, 28 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please replace '''[[Special:MyPage/Sandbox|<span style="color:#{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|Sandbox|fcfcfc|000}};">My test area</span>]]'''</td> with '''[[Special:MyPage/sandbox|<span style="color:#{{#ifeq:{{SUBPAGENAME}}|Sandbox|fcfcfc|000}};">My test area</span>]]'''</td> (changing Special:MyPage/Sandbox to Special:MyPage/sandbox). Per Help:My sandbox, the default sandbox location is /sandbox, not /Sandbox. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 21:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

It's not helpful that the link of the top of every page, Sandbox links to sandbox, and it's the one place on the wiki (that I know of) where the first character's upper/lower-casedness makes a difference. Cabayi (talk) 07:06, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
