Fixed!. There's an image size problem that has affected certain templates on WP in the past, it shows up from time to time, so congratulations on finding it - alas, there is no prize for finding it ;-) I've altered the code in the template so that the problem won't occur on this template again. - X201 (talk) 08:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lwangaman, thanks for continuing the work on La Civiltà Cattolica, cheers, Myrtle. Myrtlegroggins (talk) 07:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see you did a lot of cleanup work on it, and you got it a little more logically ordered, so thank you. But it looks like it could be undergoing some POV edits by other users. This one will need some patience to keep straight... --Lwangaman (talk) 16:14, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Ihslgoldblueogo.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Ihslgoldblueogo.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 15:18, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Has been taken care of and tag has been removed. Lwangaman (talk) 15:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LivingBot

[edit]

Wikibot.php should work in other wikis as long as they utilise the MediaWiki API. My advice would be to try it and see. Specify "http://foo.com/w/" instead of a language when initialising the bot. - Jarry1250 (t, c) 16:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll give it a try and let you know. Lwangaman (talk) 16:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you are a member of the Wikiproject Catholicism.We would appreciate your help. Please take a look at this article about the catholic bishop Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige . Users deleted sources and tried to force their anti-catholic POV on it. They banned many people that tried to add sources. They didnt block me or Eastmain, but they deleted our sources we gave too. It appears that they don't like this catholic bishop.

Best version until now with 13 sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige&diff=343039227&oldid=343037941

And after deleting the sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Seiwert-Fleige&action=historysubmit&diff=343481960&oldid=343039227

(At first they had planned on deleting the whole article but it didnt work)

Check out at the information on these other wikipedia articles about Seiwert Fleige and compare them to the info that is on there now. You will notice that its quite the oposite:

Multilinguage Manager

[edit]

Hello M.Lwangaman, I wish know if you will be willing to share your Multilingual Manager extension for MediaWiki. This extension will be very useful for our users dispatched on a dozen of countries. Thanks a lot, Cerovan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerovan (talkcontribs) 14:45, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did not write the Multilanguage Manager extension, you can find it here: [1]. --Lwangaman (talk) 22:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the link but i have contacted you because the link on the site doesn't work. Apparently you have it on your computer (as i have understand) so can you upload it somewhere to get the possibility to have it please ? Thanks, Cerovan
I have integrated the MultiLanguageManager Extension into a wiki on a remote server, adapting it to my needs, but I no longer have the source file. You will have to follow up on this discussion and try and get an answer from there... --Lwangaman (talk) 09:52, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May 2012

[edit]

In a recent edit to the page Basilica, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 20:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are referring to the punctuation (or non punctuation) of contractions, thank you for pointing that out because I had no knowledge of that. Having studied my grammar in America, I didn't realize that British English had different rules. Your point is further confirmed by this article Abbreviation#Periods_.28full_stops.29_and_spaces. I stand corrected! --Lwangaman (talk) 23:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome! Thanks for your concern for the article and your politeness to me. Sorry if the template was a little impersonal, but I feel it is the most neutral way to communicate in most common circumstances. Elizium23 (talk) 23:44, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translation of 95 year old philosophy.

[edit]

Greetings,

I am trying to get a team together who would finally translate "Sistema di logica come teoria del conoscere" into English. I thought Wikipedia's list of Italian-to-English translators might be a good group to 'hit up' on this subject. If personal assistance cannot be provided, perhaps suggestions or helping point me in the right direction of who might be willing to help? Best regards & thank you.

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.

OpenOffice.org

[edit]

Thanks for your participation! You will want to review Talk:OpenOffice.org and its archives before continuing to revert, as the changes you made have been discussed at length and the present solution is a separate article. This may change, but you will need to achieve consensus first. Continued revert-warring without due discussion may be considered problematic and should be avoided - David Gerard (talk) 22:01, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi David, I believe you are the one that is reverting edits, not me. I only reverted your unfounded revert to my own edits! Please view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Three_revert_rule_enforcement and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring . If you revert a third time you may be subject to this rule! All of my edits are founded with cites to the official sources, there is no reason to revert. And while a split page for the Apache OpenOffice Project has been discussed, this still does not mean that it is NOT the continuation of the OpenOffice.org project! A separate page may be acceptable, but this does not mean that the infobox need reflect incorrect information! And yes it has been discussed on the page and many users have indicated that you are perpetrating POV! Lwangaman (talk) 22:08, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Catholic-Hierarchy.org

[edit]

Hello. I noticed that you have edited a number of articles on Catholicism. A discussion is taking place as to whether the website Catholic-Hierarchy.org is a reliable source that can be utilized on Wikipedia or whether all references and information derived from it should be deleted. This topic is currently being discussed at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard [2]. As the website's removal as a reference will affect several thousand Wikipedia articles, I believe that the broadest range of opinions should be obtained before action is taken. Please contribute if interested.Patapsco913 (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
