Re: Making Edits Visible
[edit]- LifeScience wrote on Wikipedia talk:Community Portal
- I made several changes to the discussion page on John Locke, comments which I believe will help improve the article and address other users' questions. However, when I returned the day after, my changes were not visible on the discussion page. Interestingly enough, when I pressed the edit button to make my changes again (I did not violate any Wiki rules), I could see my changes in the edit page, but not in the 'normal' webpage. Could someone please explain this to me. I am a new user, and I have good sources and knowledge, but am not familiar with the overall wiki discussion system. If someone could tell me where I can post general questions, and where I can make my comments heard (and responded to), that would be great. LifeScience 02:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
The old version of the page has been "cached" by your web brower and isn't updating to the new one. The latest version should appear if you go back to Talk:John Locke and then bypass your browser cache – on most browsers, hold down Control and press F5. General questions about how to use Wikipedia are best left at the help desk. Thanks – Gurch 16:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Novels WikiProject
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Book_collection.jpg/48px-Book_collection.jpg)
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject_Novels_announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}. - The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:44, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 21:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, the policy's pretty clear. He has to retract the legal threat if he wants to edit here. | Mr. Darcy talk 14:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Wang Jun
[edit]I'm confused. Where did you propose that the Wang Jun picture be deleted? I agree it is a bad picture given that it is a screen cap of a video, but it's a work of an historical nature therefore I think it is unquestionably an exception to Wiki guidelines. Anyhow, to keep or remove would be up to community consensus. Just let me know when you post it to be deleted, I'd like to chime in at the time. Regards, --Jayzel 02:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, I noticed you have signed up on the suggested wikiprojects page for the backpacking wikiproject. Thanks for that, and if you'd still be interested, please help recruit members, I'm going to start working on some templates and such, and if we can get at least 10 members (at least one of which is experienced with this sort of thing) perhapse start the project.

Wilderness Diarrhea Article Getting Killed
[edit]LifeScience:
- If you're interested in the outdoors, maybe you'd be interested in this:
- A couple of zealots are merging Wilderness Diarrhea into Travelers Diarrhea for obscure reasons. The article is comprehensive and dull, and useful to those interested in the topic.
- After a couple of weeks of calm discussion, I went ballistic and no longer wish to participate. It might be helpful if there were some reasonable voices arguing in favor of a backpacking-related perspective. Calamitybrook (talk) 17:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
