[edit] wow - rpotd
Wow, beautiful rpotd. Do you mind if I make that one one of the ones that recycle when there isn't a potd for that day? My rpotd is getting much less contributors recently, so I had to start a recycling system using m:ParserFunctions. GeorgeMoney (talk) 01:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- By all means, add it to the rotation. I'll see if I have anything else particularly impressive to contribute as well. :-) --ghoti 21:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year pages
I see that you've gone through some year pages unlinkifying dates. Please don't. On these pages, all dates must be linked. This is because Wikipedia allows the user to change how dates are displayed, and when the dates are not links, this formatting becomes totally messed up to anybody whose date format setting isn't the same as yours. -- Smjg 21:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- I looked for documentation on this before making these changes to standardize on a convention I saw inconsistently employed. The only thing I could find that made any reference to it was the Overlinking section of WP:MOS-L. The formatting of the wikisource at this level should have no effect on the rendered output. But I'd be happy to oblige your request. Can you point me at the WP guideline article that describes the exception you suggest? ◉ ghoti 02:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I see what you mean; the personal preferences can cause links that look like dates to be munged in rendering. I see your point. Personally, I'd consider this a bug in MediaWiki; wikilinks are text, and should not be translated on-the-fly any more than plaintext. But given that this is the way of the land, I'll follow it. Thanks for your note. ◉ ghoti 02:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] sffaudio.com links
Hi -- Thanks for your message about these links. Well, the site has ads, so I'd consider it commercial. In any case, if you look at all the articles they've been adding links to, IMO it's just completely inappropriate in every case. External links should be to materials that are the best stuff out there, not just some guy's site that he wants to promote.--24.52.254.62 02:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] hiya
Dear PMC,
I noticed that you removed my link on the Newsletter page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsletter under External Links - May I ask why? The newsletter page discusses newsletters but volunteers no software information to the reader on how to create/manager them. I feel this would be very beneficial information.
Mikeloi 03:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- The link you added was for a commercial electronic mailing list hosting provider, not a reference to external information about newsletters. If there is useful information about mailing list software, you might add a link on Electronic mailing list to a list of software? On the other hand, Wikipedia is not an advertising medium; see WP:ADS for guidelines. ◉ ghoti 03:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Bon Echo - Old Walt.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Bon Echo - Old Walt.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] route info?
Hi. How much detail do you figure is appropriate for route information? I added NE ridge to Bugaboo spire and could probably add a pitch-by-pitch description before my memory fades; too much? I could do kain rote and maybe lion's way (crescent towers), too.
I also have misc. pictures of some of the mountains on your todo list and some other wapta stuff, etcetera.
cheers, MikeWarren 17:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Drupal advert tag
You're right, I didn't leave any comments because I was in kind of a hurry, sorry about that.
I think some parts of the article read a lot like adverts... I mean things like "Drupal 5.0 will come with feature X" (maybe "it has been said that... [cite source]") or "Drupal achieves clean integration..." (without citing authoritative sources on integration cleanliness) or "Thankfully there are extensive support documentation and videos to help configure" ("thankfully" sounds biased), etc.
Besides that, I think it's a very good article overall.
I'll try to contribute better if I get the time! :-)

[edit] British Association of Mountain Guides
Hi Pmc,
I've decided to nominate the article British Association of Mountain Guides, which you created, for deletion, because I do not believe it is notable enough to pass WP:ORG. If you would like to participate in the discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/British Association of Mountain Guides.--Carabinieri 19:35, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
