Transportation network page

edit

Hi Aciel,

I see you're editing the "Transportation Network" page. Nice work, but I've had an idea for it: it's primarily meant as a disambiguation page for the two "Transportation Networks" that have sprung up. I'm thinking maybe make it a bit more sparse and put the detail into one of the other links. Also scrub my confusing "British English". Something like this:

A transportation network may refer to:

What do you think?

Hi -- thanks for the comments. Like you, I don't know where I'm supposed to reply! I was the one who brought up the British English thing in the first place, so there's no need for us to worry I don't think. All the best stochata 18:47, 21 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Honduras

edit

US State dept material is not under ciopyright and is freely used in wikipedia. But the material is pretty terrible in places and I am deleting the worst. Thanks for taking an interest in Honduras, SqueakBox 23:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Still, it needs to be cited. It's plagiarism unless you cite it.

Hillcrest Honors Community

edit

Hey, John, I suggested on Talk:Hillcrest Honors Community that that article should be scrapped and have the information in it moved to other places, and I'd like to hear what you think about it, since you're the one that's done most of the work there. If you've got time to take a look at my reasons and respond, that would be awesome. --Geoff 00:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to read about your loss. Anything I can do, let me know. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 02:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

edit

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'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. 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) 18:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please use a signature that includes your user name

edit

You filed a report at WP:AN3 which was signed as [[User:Aciel|mohawkjohn]]. See WP:SIGNATURE which provides

Signatures which include no reference to the user's username (for example by signing with a nickname, as in [[User:Example|User:Nickname]] are strongly discouraged, as it can be confusing for editors (particularly newcomers)

If you prefer Mohawkjohn as a user name consider requesting a change of name at WP:CHU/S. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:43, 6 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the information! I was unaware I could change it. Just submitted a request. --mohawkjohn (talk) 20:22, 6 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
