[edit] Hurdy gurdy
You're welcome! I found the article extremely helpful last year when I knew nothing about the instrument. I'll be glad to take a look at the newer version. —Malber (talk • contribs) 02:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Appreciate the confirmation regarding the editing direction taken. +Fenevad 22:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I just realized that I had forgotten to respond to your request. Here's the result:
- Consider adding more links to the article; per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and Wikipedia:Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
- Avoid including galleries in articles, as per Wikipedia:Galleries. Common solutions to this problem include moving the gallery to a separate page, like Gallery of Hurdy gurdy.[?]
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 17 cm, use 17 cm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 17 cm.[?] - Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.[?] Specifically, an example is 14 cm.
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), avoid using special characters (ex: &+{}[]) in headings.
- Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
Allpigs are pink, so we thought ofa number ofways to turn them green.”
- Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “
- As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]
- By the way, have you tried the alternative method? (That would help show if the mistake was in the calling of the JS, or if the output is just not being shown.) Thanks, AZ t 00:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GA noms
I'll add the templates, but I'm taking 6 or more months off from Wikipedia to study for PhD prelims. Moreover, the guy who used to ramrod WP:ETHNIC is also cutting back on WP for personal reasons. Your suer page says you're a linguist. If you know anyone who wants to ramrod WP:ENLANG (which I created), then tell them it's OK!

[edit] Origami linkspam
yeah, I've been watching this article for awhile. It's his website, i think that's why he keeps doing that; and I think he might have done it more times than that, he set up a user account (User:ricknordal) as well, and has done it at least twice from there. Thanks for the message though. Ahudson 01:40, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Weird glitch
That's really odd you're unable to view the block log for User:Ricknordal. It doesn't seem to show up here[1], but tell me what you see when you click here[2]. -- Satori Son 17:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Berber mythology
Hi, thanks for your interest in that article. I have just gave you the answers in the talk-page, i still have to give the citations for placed in the article. Can you put the template "fact" (citations needed) in all the doubted/unclear facts to give the needed citations/sources/explanations. The real problem is with the rest, because those facts are even desputed and speculative among the historians. I tried to avoid giving deciding conclusion, but i may have gave some of them. Onather point, should i give the citations in the article, or in the talk-page or in the HTML comments? Best regards! Read3r 14:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
By the way, i wrote also an article on Ancient Libya. It is really unmistaken for understanding the history of the Berbers including the their beliefs. It explains what Herodotus meant with the name "Libyan" and what "Libya" meant to the Greeks. Ancient Libya. I hope you improve it a bit, and give your comments on the references and content, you may find there the same problems, since i'm specialized in producing badly written wikipedia articles. Thanks in advance! Read3r 14:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I did not even know there was a Tooth abscess, but now I have added it to my watchlist. - Dozenist talk 18:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dental caries revert
Sorry about the revert to Dental caries, I didn't realize it was singular, I forgot to look at your edit summary. My apologies.--HarryHenryGebel 04:15, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
