never mind the help me request...

Sorry for the help me request...I just figured out what I did wrong. KarateLadyKarateLady 03:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, it's not your memory! I also find them impossible to remember and there's too many of them.

If you're looking for cats, you can use the search feature. At the bottom of the search page are categories you can search within, eg images, cats, templates etc. Just tick the cat box and it will bring up possible matches. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 04:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

HELP

Oh my...I have completely messed up the B.K.S. Iyengar article when I tried to add multi references. Now I'm so confused, I can't figure out what I did wrong and the text is missing. Need help badly :( Thank you, KarateLadyKarateLady 23:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I fixed it. It was only a few mistakes (placement of / and > tags). Check the history [1] for the exact details. Don't wory about it. Everyone makes mistakes sometime. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk) 23:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I gather it's sorted. However, I found one mistake, which I corrected (see history). Two single apostrophes had been used instead of one double apostrophe, and the ref wasn't working as a result. Tyrenius 22:44, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Sarah for the archives!

You are awesome Sarah. Thank you for adding the archives. KarateLadyKarateLady 16:22, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

No worries KL. :) I hope you like your talk page like this. Thankyou for your kind support and feedback on my page and during the RfA. I really appreciated you participating in it. Thankyou. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 16:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Too many external links. As much material as possible should be in the text, and the links turned into references, if necessary. Try putting it up for Wikipedia:Peer review? Also check out an article on a similar organisation. Look at WP:FA for the best examples. Tyrenius 21:34, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Books

Hey KL, thanks for your message. I actually don't know the answer to that question. :) I'm just looking through the manual to see if I can find anything helpful. I'm wondering if both editions should be listed, but that could get very long for some authors who have numerous editions printed. I'll check if T knows anything. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 22:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

question

When listing books on an authors bio page, do I list the most current books at the top or do I start with the oldest books and work down? KarateLadyKarateLady 23:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

It's really up to you, unless the list is very long, it doesn't really matter and I'm not aware of a standard on Wikipedia. Don't forget to list ISBN numbers if you can. (See WP:ISBN) Equendil Talk 00:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

That being said, you'll find most wikipedians build their lists oldest entries first. Equendil Talk 00:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

request for advice

If you look at the discussion page for Harold Klemp, you will see my notes. This subject is referred to with a title of respect called "Sri" but he is an author and based on my research, he never uses this title on his books or articles. Having this added to his name in my opinion is making it more difficult for research due to the redirects, so I have suggested the title be put in his bio, or is there another way to fix this so that the categories, etc. don't get messed up? Any suggestions? I don't know how to fix this or if it even needs fixing. KarateLadyKarateLady 15:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused by the above, how is it "more difficult for research due to redirects", and what do you mean by "the title be put in his bio" ? I don't really understand what you are trying to do or what the problem is, so if you could help me help you :) Equendil Talk 15:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for explaining, much clearer now. A few answers :

• Naming conventions can be found here Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). Quite clearly, the article should be at "Harold Klemp".
• Categories etc won't be messed up no matter what the article is named.
• The tricky bit is reverting redirect and current article. I'm going to give it a go. Equendil Talk 16:21, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Right, it's all at Harold Klemp, and it wasn't actually tricky, the feature to move articles took over the old redirect. Equendil Talk 16:28, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Ambrose Burfoot

Hi again, the problem was caused by a typo in the categories that leaked over the web link (was: [[Categroy:Living people| instead of [[Category:Living people|) Equendil Talk 02:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

What the heck?????????????

FastNatureDude, What are you talking about???????????????? You better explain yourself clearly because making such a statement on my talk page. I am very upset this. Do you have me confused with somebody else?????????? KarateLadyKarateLady 23:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I have not worked on a microsoft page! If this is a game of yours, it is not funny. KarateLadyKarateLady 23:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

need help

Somebody has put something on my user page that I do not appreciate and this is not funny. I am very upset about it. I have not vandalized any pages. And I would not even know where to start editing a microsoft page. This user may have me confused with somebody else or it is a game--and it is not funny. Please somebody help me. KarateLadyKarateLady 23:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

This was clearly given in error. I have removed the warning. Don't worry about it. Keep up the good work. If you have any other problems, I would be happy to help, or you can always use the helpme tag again. —Centrx→talk • 00:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Probably time to draft a proper invitation for you to join the WikiProject Running, but there was an, uh, distraction, your Close Encounter of the VandalBot Kind. Please accept this as an invitation to the runners' project, and thanks for contributing to so many running articles already. Ombudsman 05:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

question

I have a minor problem and can't figure out how to fix it...two articles, one is Joe Henderson (runner) and the other is Bob Anderson (runner). I would like to have the names come up without having to type (runner) in the search box. Whenever I try to do redirects and stuff like that, I mess it up, so I thought I better let somebody fix this who knows how to do it properly. I don't understand the disambiguation process, it gets me confused. Thank you, KarateLadyKarateLady 15:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that's not possible, as there are other (unrelated) articles with those names already. Both the "runner" articles are properly linked to however, so they're just one or two clicks away (from Bob Anderson and Joe Henderson that is). Equendil Talk 16:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you can tag an article with {{Unsourced}} (as I have done on that entry) to let other wikipedians know sources are needed, or you can add {{fact}} after individual statements. Sources should preferably be cited within the body of the article between <ref> and </ref> possibly using the various citation templates listed at Wikipedia:Citation templates, they will only appear as a numbered link in the body of the article, and you can add <div class="references-small"> <references /> (without anything in between) at the bottom of the article to have all your numbered citations listed automatically in order. See also Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

My apologies if you already know any of this already. Equendil Talk 23:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks KL for the barnstar! I'll add it to my little collection. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Books

That kind of referencing is they way they do it under Harvard Referencing and it's okay. It is one of the formats Wikipedia accepts. The main thing is to make sure all the information is there so people can go away and verify it if they want to. What code do you mean? Do you mean the ISBN code? Sarah Ewart (Talk) 00:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

question

If you go to Help: Starting a new page, you will see a box that says "New Authors Warning! Think twice before starting a new page. See Wikipedia - Vultures." Is this supposed to be here? I don't recall seeing it before and the link for wikipedia vultures does not work. KarateLadyKarateLady 14:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

It was recently added. I've removed it and will talk to the user responsible. Nice catch. -- Merope ^Talk 14:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear Debarra,

Not sure I'm doing this right but this is Sean Hackney. Don't know if you would remember me... Have been weight training for about an year now and came across your name in an artilcle on the net. Was a pleasant surprise. :) Contact me if you like at smhackney77@gmail.com.

Hope all is well,
