Thanks, and a question

Thanks for the welcome. I did an article from the Requested Article Page, The Transfer Act of 1905 Transfer Act 1905 , Do I remove it from the Requested Section. Also, I just noticed that the article title is , Transfer Act 1905, how do I change it to be, Transfer Act of 1905. Thanks CuBiXcRaYfIsH 07:24, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• Hi again. Yes, once you have created an article, you can remove it from Requested articles (or, it would be removed eventually by another user when cleaning the page up). Also, if you think the article could still be expanded some more, by yourself or someone else, you should also list it as a Stub. There are several options for the article title. The first would be to repost all the content into the new article and replace the content of the old one with this: #REDIRECT [[Transfer Act of 1905]]. This is a perferred option when you click on "What links here" and you see that other pages link to the improperly named article, so that anyone who visits the page would automatically be redirected to the correct page. The other option is instead of replacing it with a redirect, as the original author, you have the choice of listing it for speedy deletion. Place this tag at the top of the old page: {{db|your reason for having the page deleted}}, with your reason for deleting it (mention that under policy CSD G7, author requests deletion, and that new page with correct title has been created at "Transfer Act of 1905"), and an administrator will review your request and delete the page. If you removed its listing from Requested articles, you can list it for deletion, since it is the only page that links to the old article. — TheKMan^talk 18:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I went and looked through the different stub categories for quite a while, but I can't seem to find one that fits Transfer Act of 1905. I was looking for something along the lines of natural resources or legislation. CuBiXcRaYfIsH 07:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

There are three possible stub categories I found, US politics {{US-poli-stub}}, US government {{US-gov-stub}}, and Law {{law-stub}} (I think the US government one would be best). Using a general stub is also fine, {{stub}}, and stub-sorters will find a category for the article or create a new one (I found these stub related pages useful: Stub sorting and Stub types). Listing an article as a stub isn't always required, but use it if you feel an article is fairly short and could really be expanded upon. See you 'round. — TheKMan^talk 08:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Welcome ex-anon

With a cool name like that, aren't you glad WP has the four tilde markup? Just to let you know that the "pipe | trick" doesnt work for external links, just leave a space after the URL. I've fixed the links on your first article. Happy editing, --hydnjo talk 13:21, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge National Park Service and U.S. National Park?

No, I did not get far, as I got distracted. Also, I don't think I have the time right now for a merge/rewrite project on those pages. Frankly, I am not sure the proper way to proceed with the merge. I agree, right now the U.S. Nat'l Park article is pretty much useless, as there really is no fixed meaning to the designation "national park" in the U.S. that I can figure out -- sure, none allows hunting or mining or timbering, but that is true for most other NPS designations also. Perhaps there is a useful article somewhere about the history/development of the national park concept specific to the United States, but I do not have enough reference material to write it. One option is to merge the articles and to replace U.S. National Park with:

#REDIRECT [[National Park Service]] {{R with possibilities}}

And then add a note about suggestions for a new article in its discussion page. — Eoghanacht ^talk 13:39, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

If you agree that "U.S. National Park" is not all that useful, I do not necessarily object to redirecting to either "National Park Service," national park, or list of areas in the National Park System of the United States -- as people link to "U.S. National Park" for different reasons, it is not really clear which is best. Normally, though, if you change an existing article to a redirect, then you should merge useful content to that article. Therefore, it is probably not proper to move it to the "list of areas..." article, but either of the other two could work.

My suggestion would be to rework the NPS article as you see fit. Then place a notice on Talk:U.S. National Park with your ideas for redirecting -- after a week or two (if no one objects) just do it. — Eoghanacht ^talk 21:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Getting involved in the US Govt. Agency project

Thanks for the invitation to help out with that, but for now I think I'll pass, since I am working on some environmental articles and some articles related to criminal procedure. I may reconsider later, though, as I am teaching a course on the Law of Administrative Agencies this coming semester. --Paul --Thunk 01:19, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

An Esperanzial note

As I remember, the last spam that was handed out was on the 20th of December last year, so I think it's time for another update. First and foremost, the new Advisory Council and Administrator General have been elected. They consist of myself as Admin General and FireFox, Titoxd, Flcelloguy and Karmafist as the Advisory Council. We as a group met formally for the first time on the 31st of Decembe. The minutes of this meeting can be found at WP:ESP/ACM. The next one is planned for tonight (Sunday 29 January) at 20:30 UTC and the agenda can be found at WP:ESP/ACM2.

In other news, Karmafist has set up a discussion about a new personal attack policy, which it can be found here. Other new pages include an introductory page on what to do when you sign up, So you've joined Esperanza... and a welcome template: {{EA-welcome}} (courtesy of Bratsche). Some of our old hands may like to make sure they do everything on the list as well ;) Additionally, the userpage award program proposal has become official is operational: see Wikipedia:Esperanza/User Page Award to nominate a userpage or volunteer as a judge. Also see the proposed programs page for many new proposals and old ones that need more discussion ;)

Other than that, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish you an Esperanzially good new WikiYear :D Thank you! --Celestianpower ^háblame 16:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...

Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

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

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) 21:22, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
