I noticed the Jared Leto#Awards page did not cite any references, and I added the cite template. I also cleaned up the format a little. Since I havent done this before, could you tell me if I have done this correctly, specifically the cite tag? I'm trying to help Wikipedia be a better place (its already great!!) and make changes where I see the potential for improvement but I also want to make sure I am doing so correctly.

Hi. I was curious about the category. Was it intended to be only for places with harbour or port in the name or for anywhere in Nunavut that is/was a harbour or port. If the latter then most current communities, with the exception of Baker Lake, would probably qualify.

When you have time, could you review the edits made to the Levi Johnston Talk/Discussion page by User:Kelly? The user added "LGBT Wikiproject" to the discussion page, and I can think of no other reason then it being some form of vandalism. If thats the case, then it damages not only the articles discussion page, but also the LGBT Wikiproject. I deleted it from the talk page, (Just look at the history) but I dont know how to approach the user about it. Thanks Michaelh2001 ( talk) 14:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rosie, please see User talk:Fritzpoll#Point. if you have any suggestions please say so... I'll need your help in sorting them once this batch is generated. Himalayan 20:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Solving the problem of actually getting the articles onto here is more more difficult. It is quite frankly giving me a serious headache looking at the sheer amount of mising content. Check out Category:Almeria for instance on Spanish wiki... Himalayan 22:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Wikimedia definately has to do something about this. I find it ridiculous that there are only a handful of people in the entire world who are interested in practising translations and in an encyclopedia. Himalayan 07:11, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Did you know about translatewiki.net? Seems they have the same goals as us. Incidentally a number of them are also involved in the open street map project, two sister projects I demanded on here WikiAtlas and WikiTranslation but for some very peculiar reason wikia do not accept them "officially". Anyway after Angela's direction I've posted on all the main pages there for them to try to organize contacting schools. Which is not really good enough as wikia should be responsible themsevles for developing wikipedia.. Himalayan 13:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Dunno, We need something 1000 times the scale we have at present. That site looks pretty much useless to me in terms of actual work. It is best done within wikipedia itself... Why somebody can't contact language schools I don't know... Himalayan 18:36, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Absolutely - with pleasure. Think it can wait until this evening? Say, around 9:00 or so? That'll be the earliest I can get to it. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 17:46, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I would say yes. Either as a standalone cat or as part of the overall cat. I've asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ports#Ports in Nunavut to see if there is some sort of consensus as to what a port is for categorisation.

Righty-o - I'll get on it in a little bit, once I've gotten some chores taken care of. If CatScan continues to be down, I'll look for some way to get around that - shouldn't be too difficult. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 17:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I hadn't, actually - thanks for the advice. I'll bear it in mind the next time I'm running through things. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 17:28, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Sure thing. Not sure I can get to it tonight, though I'll give it a shot; think it would be a problem if it waited until tomorrow? -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 14:46, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I got a reply at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ports#Ports in Nunavut. The response makes sense, if the place has been improved then include otherwise not really. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 09:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am a bit. He's a ancestor of most of my relatives including my ex and of course my kids, one of whom is named after him. The book, Klengenberg of the Arctic, is available online. I'm just on my way out the door so I'll take a look at it after. I'll show it to the relatives. They'll be amused, especially as it contains the part about him killing a couple of people.

Hi. Can you help clean this up and improve the translation. Its very poor at the moment. I think this article could be hundred times better than it was that's all. It is a major Spanish city after all.. Himalayan 19:40, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Dear Rosiestep, thank you for that tireless barnstar. My first. Thanks. scope_creep ( talk) 16:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rosie. I'm just dropping by to say a couple of things. First of all, I really admire your work on polar explorers/polar issues, there's a lot still to be done on that front and I'm looking forward to your future contributions.
On that issue, I noticed that you needed a photo for your Gunnar Isachsen article, so I got you five. You see, the National Library of Norway has published tons of copy right-free (attribution required) images on their website. Just see how I downloaded the Isachsen photos for a guide on how to do it. The National Library has photos of all the Norwegian polar explorers, so that should be quite useful for you. Just go to their search function and type in what you're looking for. I find that searching for last names works especially well. This is what I got when I searched for Isachsen, even photos of the man's villa. Best of luck and happy continued editing. If you have any questions regarding what I've just said, then just drop me a line at my talk, although I might not always be able to respond as quickly as I'd like to.
