Sopranos

Try rewatching this episode in which Phil is attempting to enter a building clearly labeled "Sheephead Hair Design", which then explodes. The fact that they mention a restaurant he owns does not mean that the wire room and the restaurant are one in the same. They are two different entities. As far as my language is concerned, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Lang-ru

Hi, Eaefremov! Please note that there has long been a consensus not to italicize Russian in this template (or, for that matter, any Cyrillic text in similar templates), as italicized Cyrillic letters are often confusing to readers who do not know the alphabet very well. I will be reverting to the older version again. Please, let me know if you have questions.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 21:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Of course it would look legible to you—you are a native speaker (or so I assume). I have no problem reading it myself, even if one writes it out as a captcha :) There were, however, several complaints from users for whom Russian was not native, and who could read Cyrillic in general, but to whom italicized Cyrillic letters were confusing. To accomodate these users, Russian was de-italicized permanently per community consensus. If you wish to disagree with the consensus (which is one of your rights as a Wikipedian), you'll have to initiate a discussion and see if the consensus changed (a straw poll at Template talk:lang-ru will probably suffice); simply saying "I don't like it and that's that" just won't cut it.

I am all for consistency myself, but this is one of the cases where consistency takes a back seat to end-user convenience. Also, please do not remove the noinclude sections of the templates—they are there for other editors' reference.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 21:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Russia

Hi there. I see that you edit Russia-related topics. Come check Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. You may even want to add these boards to your watchlist. Cheers, Ghirla ^-трёп- 10:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Japan series

Hi there, I saw your recent changes to the Japan Series article. I would suggest that only the first time a team name appears on the page should be wikilinked, and the colors in the table seem distracting. Are they related to the leagues? Do the leagues have traditional colors, like in MLB? eae 18:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your input. As for the linking, it's actually standard to link the team name every time it appears in a list such as this. As examples, see World_series#List_of_modern_World_Series, List of Super Bowl champions, List of Stanley Cup champions, AFL_Grand_Final#History_of_the_VFL.2FAFL_Grand_Final, Cricket_World_Cup#Cricket_World_Cup_tournaments, etc., etc. Clearly that is the standard, and actually I think it's for a good idea: for tabular information such as this it makes sense to link each one. The reader shouldn't have to backtrack and visually search for the first time a team wins a contest. These tables aren't intended to be read linearly as articles are.

As for the colors, there we might have some debate. It probably a matter of taste, but in fact I was inspired by List of Super Bowl champions. I think it looks nice, but it also contains some content; one can see easily when one league or the other was dominant. You don't like them? --Deville (Talk) 20:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Big Lebowski userbox

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

– Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:54, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you talking about something specific? I can't say I'm very concerned about my edits being mistaken for vandalism, seeing as how I don't vandalize, and I doubt there's a much of a segment of the wikipedia population which goes around reverting edits with no summaries.

eae 05:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries are good in general, they allow others to understand better what you changed, and looks good on the watchlist. So, that's a good habit to get. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 08:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, this is Crisspy. I was just curious to ask how you knew about Ingco Crew. From what I know, their work isn't available outside of the Dominican Republic. If you want to respond click on user talk:Crisspy

The reason I asked you is because I created the Ingco Crew page, but I didn't know they were a quintet. Once I was at Santo Domingo in the DR and I picked up a reggaeton album at the airport, which had a number of Ingco Crew songs. That's how I knew their hits. How do you know about reggaeton? -user:Crisspy

I did not copy-paste that stuff. But I am in the DR right now, and my relatives were immigrants from Europe. To get some Ingco Crew work, you should probably go to the imports section in a Latin records store. What reggaeton albums did you buy? Hablas Espanol?-user:Crisspy

Alright, we'll just talk in English then. Do you like any other forms of music?-user:Crisspy

Reverting Edits

Is there a way to revert to an edit through the normal wikipedia interface? I can't seem to find it, the only way I know is with popups, but that doesn't allow me to change the edit summary. eae 17:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, just follow the following steps.

• 1) Click on the "history" link at the top of the article
• 2) Look for the date and time of the version that you want to go back to.
• 3)Click "edit this page" at the top
• 4) You'll get a notice at the top that you are editing a prior revsion of the page or something. That is normal.
• 5) Type in your edit summary, click "save page", and you're done!

Dates

Hello! I reverted your edit to the draft section of the Oakland Raiders page because, per WP:DATE, dates don't get linked if it is just the year, unless there is some significance to the year. So 2002 in an article usually gets no link, but a date like March 1, 2002 would. If you have any questions on this let me know. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

• Fair enough. I think linking to "X in sports" is a fine solution. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 17:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Yo!

Hey, this is Crisspy again. Hey, are you the one that made the Pescozada article? I just checked them out recently and I've got to say I'm impressed. How did you know about them? I fyou want to respond, click on this: user talk:Crisspy

Davis Street

While you change an article to disambiguation, please correct the pages linking to the original article as the same time. — HenryLi (Talk) 01:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia

"Zagranicey" in the name of the organisation is spelled in a single word, as you can be assured at its official website. I've corrected the article. Thanks a lot for your contributions! --Gimlei ^{(talk to me)} 23:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

The Nfbt template

I nominated it for deletion (see WP:TFD) because we already have Template:Nft which does the same thing. Also, if you use Nft, be sure to subst it, so it appears as inline text and not as a reference to the template over and over. Regards. Neier 06:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Juan Román Riquelme

You added a protection tag but with protecting the article. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, to protect an article you need to be an admin. It seems to surprise quite a few people that putting the tag on does not protect the article. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 20:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

reverting spam on talk pages

{{helpme}} What is the policy on reverting spam on talk pages? I'm specifically thinking about this and this. eae 18:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I would let it be. The links not clickable and it's on the talk page so I don't see too much of a problem. If they start adding it to the article without discussion then that could be a problem. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:33, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Spam. --Thw1309 18:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Moving images

{{helpme}} Is there a standard method for moving an image from, let's say, ru:Изображение:Pushka gorodki2.png to the Commons, so that it can be used not only on the Russian wikipedia, but the english one as well? I understand copyright issues might arise, but this particular image is licensed under GNU FDL, so it seems fair game; I just want to know if there's an automated way of moving it, or do I need to just do it manually? eae 23:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

If it's licensed appropriately, you can move it to Commons. The help page is here and it's a step-by-step process. Use CommonsHelper], which automagically does everything right. Let me know if you need help or have questions. Happy editing – KrakatoaKatie 00:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I've edited the MindManager page

Hi, My name's Bhasker and I've made a few edits to the MindManager page in Wikipedia. I'm pretty new to editing Wikipedia so please forgive me for any blunders ;) I'm hoping to add more to the page in the next few weeks (hoping anyway). Kind regards, Bhasker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tyroneking (talk • contribs) 13:44, August 20, 2007 (UTC).
