wikilinking[edit]

hi, thanks for ur contributions to Russian commander: Tu-160s penetrate US airspace undetected. i just wanted to point out the wikinews wikilinking convention (see wikinews:style guide) is to

Quote

Do not over-wikify articles. Link only particularly relevant background material. If your article is about a high-speed chase and accident, the make and colour of the vehicle is probably not particularly relevant, but the city or region might be.

also, we usually wikilink a term only once in an article, and at the first occurence. cheers, Doldrums 02:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou[edit]

Thanks for the complement. It's my first "good faith" article, as I am a "retired" vandal. MyName 03:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well to follow my new policy of complete honesty: I formally was The Rappy30/Raptor30 series vandal on Wikipedia and was the Nanook vandal here at Wikinews. MyName 03:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks MyName 03:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox[edit]

I have just cleared the sandbox. Can a woman still block me? 04:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks![edit]

I fixed the wikipedia link you mentioned on the admin alerts page. - Amgine | talk en.WN 15:43, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Account?[edit]

Hay, why don’t you make an account? It would make identifying you a lot easier. MyName 17:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, your choice! BTW are you commonly in Wikipedia? MyName 17:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I just had a look at it. It appears they bug you too about making an account. But we all have our own ways. MyName 17:32, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

Are you Canadian (or have an interest in Canada)? I see you making edits to Canadian news. Happy editing. FellowWikiNews (W) 17:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

... too funny,[edit]

criss-crossing the same story made you do a double-take :P 68.232.153.54 01:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo Wales[edit]

I think you meant Jimbo not Jumbo! [1] LOL. You made a worse mistake than CNN did! [2] FellowWikiNews (W) 20:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

rewording comments[edit]

I reverted you, as you linked to a non-exsistant page (that's a wikipedia policy, not wikinews). Happy editing. Bawolff 03:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your protected edit was made. Thank you for pointing that out! Welcome to Wikinews, we hope you stay. irid:t 16:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
