[edit] Please Help
I was reading the page Agnosticism for help with an assignment and when I returned to it, I notice it has been vandalised. I wanted to revert the page to the previous edit, but I can't find instructions on how to do this. Is anyone able to help me? Or alternatively, to fix the page? MrsPlum 21:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In the study, with a candlestick?
You prodded Barossa Shiraz. I disagree with the prod. Your first reason, that it is not in wide use, would appear to be contradicted by this book and other works. Your other reason, that it would require a lot of work to create a proper article, is not a reason to delete. Many such articles exist on Wikipedia. They are called stubs. If you disagree, feel free to take this to AfD. Cheers, JChap2007 04:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

- Hi JChap. Thanks for the message - that's fine with me. I don't disagree and it is nice to get some feedback so I can make sure I am doing the right thing. In this case, I used to live in the region and have never heard the term really used. Having said that, if the term is being used, then I agree it needs a page. If I have time, I might even be able to help expland the page myself. Thanks for letting me know. I hope I havent' caused any problem. All this thinking about Barrosa Shiraz is making me thirsty. I think I'll have to open a bottle and get cracking on my reserach for the page. MrsPlum 00:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stubs Help
I would really appreciate any help or advice about stubs versus short articles.
I have been expanding and in some cases expanding actor's pages, and I would like some advice on when these pages are stubs or short articles. I generally do a google search and include all the available details I can confidently source online for the actor. However, this still only provides for a short article in some cases.
The actor stubs page suggests: "The perfect article about an actor gives both a (possibly short) biography and a list of performances. Also, appropriate categories should be added, especially those listed in Category:Actors by medium and Category:Actors by nationality." Going by this, I think many of the pages I have created are short articles rather than stubs, but I am unsure about removing or creating stub status. I always try to make a page as complete as possible when I create it from a red link.
As an example of what I mean, some of the pages I've created or updated include Catherine Rabett, Donald Sumpter, Joanna McCallum. Some longer pages where I could get more details from google include Maggie Steed and Gillian Barge. MrsPlum 01:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I hope this isn't a silly question. Any feedback or advice would be great.
- I would look at WP:STUB. This is the guidelines for stubs, and when an article is not a stub. Diez2 01:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] link to British
Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom, Great Britain or British English by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

- Woops - cheers for the tip. MrsPlum 01:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lake Pedder
Hey thanks for that - I kept feeling I have been talking to myself for a year over that article - problem is I have edited a large number of Tasmanian articles - and I hoped I might have found an australian in their 60's who was involved with the issues at first hand - so far no find... thanks anyway SatuSuro 03:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. Sorry I can't help with that. It's an interesting subject and I think the article reads well. I would love to live in Tasmania one day. MrsPlum 03:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hey - its well worth visiting - and I almost shifted there last year but my teenagers wanted to stay here in Perth, WA - as for the article it needs a lot of work SatuSuro 03:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I will try to help with the article if I have time. I have a new baby at home so I don't get much of a chance at the moment. See you in Tassie one day perhaps? MrsPlum 03:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

- Its a small place - you never know... Considering their stages -I get nostalgic for new baby stage - our teenagers are questioning everything at the moment and its tiring... SatuSuro 03:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
