Happy New Year, Dianna! Did you notice that Dank also received 18 votes, same as Sp33dyphil? I've put this message on the Utahraptor's talk page, suggesting we might solve it by coopting or suchlike. -- Stfg ( talk) 10:25, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
I think of myself as a writer, not an editor. But I am trying my hand again at editing. I started with Aralia spinosa I read the directions to do a word count too late, so I don't have word count for the article. My question is what do I do from here? I really need to have someone look at my work for a couple edits, to point out the kinds of items I am missing. Any help/input appreciated. Jacqke ( talk) 22:29, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa! I'd like to express my appreciation for your vote for me during the 2012 GOCE coordinatorship election. During the next 12 months, I will be looking forward to your input on how I can perform my role, so please be brutally honest regarding my actions.
Regards, and have a wonderful new year! -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 01:02, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Diannaa, I made the addition you requested as to the Pripyat swamps (punitive operation), with cites. Check it out; see what you think. Cheers, Kierzek ( talk) 00:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Diannaa: can you check the page style citing on the "new" footnote on Fegelein's article page. Cheers, Kierzek ( talk) 23:55, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
What MrBee did works fine, but it is pretty old-school; in fact, the {{#tag:ref|
system is considered to be deprecated. Another problem with the way MrBee did it, is he put the expanatory note upstairs, inside the prose. His way works, but separating the explanatory note down to the references section is better, because the edit box is cleaner, and it makes the article easier to edit. However, if we no longer have the explanatory note in-line, it means we run into a problem: the mediawiki software does not allow us to "nest" reference tags. Since the {efn} template (a brand-new system for explanatory notes) generates a <ref> tag, we can't use the usual {{
sfn}} template, because it also invokes a ref tag. However, the {harvnb} template does not invoke a ref tag. That is why, on articles done with harvnb, you see them wrapped with ref tags. So! The citations inside the explanatory note were done with harvnb tags. As you have probably noticed, the sfn and harvnb templates both create clickable links. The harvnb templates will click directly through to the book used as a source, bypassing the "citations" section. Harvnb templates behave differently from sfn templates; for example, they do not generate a period at the end of the citation. Another option for some applications is to use the {{
harv}} template, which generates a Harvard citation with parentheses. You did very well to get through this without all this background material, but I thought I would give you the full story so you know why the templates were used in a particular fashion. Let me know if there are any questions. Regards, --

Hi, long time no see :¬)
I was just wondering if you use a citations script or add-on that is easy to use - mainly for converting bare urls to cite refs. I have tried the "citations" button on the edit window, but it seems to just add more into them rather than turning into a {{cite xxx type ref.

I have been a major contributor to John F. Kennedy article over a few years time and although the whole article could use a ce edit review, one section especially has become too long.

Hi Dianna. I see The UtahRaptor hasn't been online for some days and that you've started the closure activities for the drive. I don't know what's up, but I hope he's OK. Anyway, is there anything I can do to help at the moment without treading on his or your toes? I've made a JPG of the "Wikipedia articles needing copy edit" box as it would have been at midnight UTC (Feburary absent, zero undated, total 3983). I'm not good at graphics, but it's reasonable and I can email it to you if you like. I'll go through the individual totals next to check the arithmetic and will keep a list on my computer of the numbers with the rollover words added in. Anything else I can do to help? Best, Simon. -- Stfg ( talk) 12:03, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi there Dianna. I had helped User:Quill and Pen a little bit when she had problems getting the Page size tool to work, and after seeing the barnstar you gave him/her, I went to the drive page to see if she had gotten the script figured out. While there, I realized that s/he hadn't removed {{ copyedit}} from the article copyedited. It's only six, but on the off chance that you have already totaled the drive's number I just wanted to point out that a few were missing. I have since removed the templates.

Diannaa, see the talk page discussion as to the "latest bones of contention". Also in my comments you will note that as to this article, I believe the "film portrayals" should be kept in. Kierzek ( talk) 17:18, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
I did not mean to be sharp with you, on my last comment on Talk:Führerbunker, please do not take it that way.
The current WP:INTEGRITY addresses some of the issues. But I think the system we use for citing sources has a real problem for a collaborative project like this. Because we place all footnotes after punctuation one can not tell by looking at a footnote marker location if it is a footnote for just that sentence or for all the sentences since the start of the paragraph or the previous footnote. Personally I would be in favour of introducing a Wikipedia style of footnoting that placed footnote markers inside sentences for a a citation about that sentence and outside for all the sentences since the start of the paragraph or the last footnote marker. This would then fail safe.
Years ago I pressed for us to use that method but there was no traction for it. For some years I was successful in keeping the options open either to use Nature type citations (which are before punctuation) or the Chicago system. There were lots of indecisive RFCs until eventually there was one which went decisively against alowing the use of the Nature before punctuation system. So for the moment we are stuck with a system that does not fail safe and so sourced material can easily be chopped off from its in-line citation by the imposition of a sentence with a citation into the middle of a paragraph etc. -- PBS ( talk) 01:58, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I've made a JPG of the "Wikipedia articles needing copy edit" box as it would have been at midnight UTC (Feburary absent, zero undated, total 3983). I'm not good at graphics, but it's reasonable and I can email it to you if you like. I'll go through the individual totals next to check the arithmetic and will keep a list on my computer of the numbers with the rollover words added in. Anything else I can do to help? Best, Simon. -- Stfg ( talk) 12:03, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi there Dianna. I had helped User:Quill and Pen a little bit when she had problems getting the Page size tool to work, and after seeing the barnstar you gave him/her, I went to the drive page to see if she had gotten the script figured out. While there, I realized that s/he hadn't removed {{ copyedit}} from the article copyedited. It's only six, but on the off chance that you have already totaled the drive's number I just wanted to point out that a few were missing. I have since removed the templates.

Hi. When you recently edited Kopala studienku, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Slovak ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi there, just to let you know that I'm putting together a proposal at User:SalopianJames/Sandbox/FAC-B proposal that I thought you might find interesting, and I'd appreciate your feedback on it. Thanks, SalopianJames ( talk) 13:13, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Diannaa, see the talk page discussion as to the "latest bones of contention". Also in my comments you will note that as to this article, I believe the "film portrayals" should be kept in. Kierzek ( talk) 17:18, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
I did not mean to be sharp with you, on my last comment on Talk:Führerbunker, please do not take it that way.
The current WP:INTEGRITY addresses some of the issues. But I think the system we use for citing sources has a real problem for a collaborative project like this. Because we place all footnotes after punctuation one can not tell by looking at a footnote marker location if it is a footnote for just that sentence or for all the sentences since the start of the paragraph or the previous footnote. Personally I would be in favour of introducing a Wikipedia style of footnoting that placed footnote markers inside sentences for a a citation about that sentence and outside for all the sentences since the start of the paragraph or the last footnote marker. This would then fail safe.
Years ago I pressed for us to use that method but there was no traction for it. For some years I was successful in keeping the options open either to use Nature type citations (which are before punctuation) or the Chicago system. There were lots of indecisive RFCs until eventually there was one which went decisively against alowing the use of the Nature before punctuation system. So for the moment we are stuck with a system that does not fail safe and so sourced material can easily be chopped off from its in-line citation by the imposition of a sentence with a citation into the middle of a paragraph etc. -- PBS ( talk) 01:58, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
