User talk:Thumperward/Archive 2
Hi, I noticed your addition of the 2 column reference layout and just was wondering if you realised that it seems to only work in browsers based on Gecko 1.8 due to it being a part of the CSS3 Specification that other browsers (such as Safari)? Or has it been implemented in another browser that I am unaware of?

- Yeah, I know. It's an added benefit for people using modern browsers; older ones ignore it, so there's no harm done. As for other browsers, Safari/WebCore might have some support now, not sure.

- Nope, not yet... Seems that Gecko is the only layout engine to support it natively. Lets hope other browsers get a move on and implement things faster!

- Thanks for this constructive and positive comment. It has clearly helped to foster a more enthusiastic community. "two columns don't work" in an edit summary is very constructive as well; but I suppose moderators don't need to explain themselves.

- Why not try just talking to me like a normal person? I obvious did miss the edit summary (the one about wide screens), and for that I apologise, but you could have just, like, repeated it here instead of making me hunt for it. Bah. I don't see that this should be an issue for people on low resolutions so long as there are no un{{cite}}d URLs, wouldn't it be better to fix them than revert?

I think you should have a good long think about what would happen to Wikipedia if you removed all unsourced material. But then maybe you think that would be wonderful. As it stands, there is no obligation to remove unsourced material except in biographies of living people. I believe your zealous edits to Children's Machine are counter-productive. I seem to remember a time when you expanded the "criticism" section of the Ubuntu article, and for this very purpose removed material that fitted perfectly well in the history section. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-10-19T22:20:00.000Z","author":"Samsara","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Samsara-2006-10-19T22:20:00.000Z-Removing_unsourced_material","replies":["c-Thumperward-2006-10-20T07:25:00.000Z-Samsara-2006-10-19T22:20:00.000Z","c-Thumperward-2006-10-20T08:35:00.000Z-Samsara-2006-10-19T22:20:00.000Z"]}}-->
- The CM article is an overly-long mess. The parts that were removed were obviously original research, poorly-written and jammed into a section which is already dominating the article.

- You still haven't got your facts straight. In this case, you've mixed up the timeline. But I don't expect you'll learn how to do proper research on Wikipedia. No signs of it yet, e.g. [1] And who executed the merge you whined for? All you seem to be capable of doing is delete stuff. Very accomplished! My only remaining hope is that my sarcasm will somehow cause you to get annoyed enough to keep you thinking things over. Maybe you'll realise that the high horse you are sitting on has sunk into the tar pit beneath you. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 22:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-10-20T22:34:00.000Z","author":"Samsara","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Samsara-2006-10-20T22:34:00.000Z-Thumperward-2006-10-20T08:35:00.000Z","replies":["c-Thumperward-2006-10-21T10:38:00.000Z-Samsara-2006-10-20T22:34:00.000Z"]}}-->
- I admit that "deleting stuff" is a pretty accurate summation of what I do. It's an unfortunate fact that editing often requires it. Getting nasty about it isn't helping anyone. I'm not one of these people who thinks that civility is of paramount importance, but there's no reason for making personal attacks in this case, and your position shouldn't excuse you from having to follow that guideline. That wikiquote snipe was outright pathetic.

Hi,
thanks for the markup fix on the bash article. I don't have much time at the moment but I think the article should mention the possibility to define functions as a major difference from the original Bourne shell (at least).

You removed the section about fake sites and only left one mod linked. Why?

I thought you agreed on the mod links since you did not comment on this. I will replace those links with descriptions when i finish my rewrite (can take a while... /User:Leuk_he/eMule ) :Leuk he 13:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-11-27T13:01:00.000Z","author":"Leuk he","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Leuk_he-2006-11-27T13:01:00.000Z-eMule","replies":["c-Thumperward-2006-11-27T13:04:00.000Z-Leuk_he-2006-11-27T13:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

I've been doing some work over at the Longsword article trying to build it into a proper GA, A, or eventually FA article. I read on your user page that you occasionally indulge in the art of copy-editing, so I'd like to invite you to give the article the once (or twice) over. It is currently incomplete, with future expansion planned on the hilt section (tagged as a stub) and a new section on forging, metallurgy, and modern reconstructions. I hope this will give you something to do if you have any spare time, but certainly don't feel obligated to engage in the task.

- Woah. You're not kidding about it needing some copyediting.

I've moved it to longsword (disambiguation). This is just a regular disambiguation page. Yes, there is a discussion of the term on longsword. Disambiguation pages are not for discussing terminology, just for listing articles on topics that may be intended by the term. In this case, we have longsword, spatha and katana, all independent articles on distinct topics. dab (𒁳) 11:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-11-30T11:57:00.000Z","author":"Dbachmann","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dbachmann-2006-11-30T11:57:00.000Z-longsword","replies":["c-Thumperward-2006-11-30T12:18:00.000Z-Dbachmann-2006-11-30T11:57:00.000Z"],"displayName":"dab"}}-->
- This really disrupts the way I was planning on editing the article, but I suppose I can try and move all the explanatory stuff out of the article and into the disambig.
I don't think this is going to work.

Chris, the singular is fechtbuch, the plural fechtbücher.

- Thatnks. Sorry about that. In the last sentence you corrected though, wouldn't it still be capitalised if it's a loanword? And wouldn't the plural be the best usage in that sentence?

Hello,
Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.
Thanks!

Why did you take out the reference to the early hdd history? Porter's list is far better (complete, more relevant, etc) than the current list. If I had the time I'd fix the current list which has too many unimportant events and too few important ones. In the mean time, I'd like to revert to the previous material unless you can give me a good reason not to.

- Sorry about that. It looked like an inappropriate plug, inserted as it was. I have no objections to good sources being linked appropriately for the references or extlinks sections, so go right ahead.
