Woodworking wikiproject

Hello, I have noticed that you have recently been making a number of valuable edits on woodworking-related pages. I would like to start a Wikiproject on woodworking if there is enough interest. Please reply on my user talk page if you think this is a good idea (oer even if you don't. I have taken a stab at a starting a wikiproject page in a sandbox page at User:Luigizanasi/sandbox. Feel free to edit it and to add your ideas. As soon as we have enough participants, I will start the project page at Wikipedia:Wikiproject Woodworking. This message has also been sent to User:Carders User:Boinger User:RJP.Luigizanasi 20:45, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I have started the Wikipedia:WikiProject Woodworking page. Please feel free to edit it in any way. There is also a discussion page where we can have general discussions (I think discussions about individual articles are OK in their respective talk pages).Luigizanasi 04:55, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Category:Woodworking machine

Hi. Categories for tangible things are usually pluralized (e.g. Category:Mushrooms, Category:Airlines of Chile). For consistency, your category should be titled Category:Woodworking machines. Cheers! -- BD2412 ^talk 02:29, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

What do you say we change it to conform with standard wikipedia rules? I started categorising some other ones (Radial arm saw and Table saw before I saw this message. All we need to do is go back to the articles already categorised, change the category. After we've done that, i could put up a request for speedy deletion for the singular form & Bob's your uncle.Luigizanasi 04:12, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

In response to your message on my user talk page. Not a big deal, I can fix it pretty quickly. "Woodworking machines" is fine as a category name (or for the article, for that matter). I will fix it, shouldn't take me too long just to add an "s" to 10 articles and put up a request for a speedy delete. We should just use Category:Woodworking machines in the plural from now on. Lunch eh? That's tomorrow for me. 10:05PM now here. Luigizanasi 05:05, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I find it awkward too to respond somewhere else than the message is. But if you answer on your own page the other person may not see the message, while you are notified if there is a new message on your page. I have fixed moved the machinery articles to the new Category:Woodworking machines page and put a speedy deletion notice on the Category:Woodworking machine page. I have also notified User talk:BD2412 about it and he may be able to delete it immediately. Cheers, eh. Luigizanasi 05:43, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Following you around :-)

On how I seem to find your articles: I have most woodworking articles on my watchlist and it is the first thing I check when I log on. On the latest one, I saw you made a change to Card scraper. I checked to see what changes you made & noticed you had added a link to Jointing (sharpening). I followed the link just out of curiosity & saw you hadn't categorised it, so I did. Nothing magical. Oh, I also sometimes go to your user page (or anyone else who contributes to a woodworking or Yukon-realted article), and click on "User contributions" in the "toolbox" frame on the left.

Bandsaw page - Resaw

Hi SilentC, no I'm not a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Woodworking. Just know a little something about mill saws.

By the way, I think the bandsaw article should be expanded with more information on woodworking bandsaws (at the top), since they are the most common. There should also be a metal cutting bandsaw section (next). And the Large band saw (timber mill) section should fall to the bottom, since it is the least common (IMO). I've been meaning work on this article, just haven't had much time the last few months :) --Duk 01:17, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

tools to make other tools

Thank you for discussing "tools to make other tools" on page Talk:Tool. --DavidCary 01:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Woodworking glossary

Hi Darren, I put it under "Technology". I once tried categorising woodworking and metalworking under Category:Technology which is where I think they belong, but it was reverted as a sub of Category:Manufacturing. But they are in Portal:Technology. I also tried putting it in the Template:Technology, but that was reverted also. Technology is one of the main basic categories in Wikipedia and woodworking certainly fits the definition, certainly more than camping equipment. Anyway, enough of my rant. I will let you decide where it fits better, under technology or under Art and culture. Luigizanasi 04:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Vice -> vise

Thanks for the heads-up. I made the change because of the spelling used in the article title on the topic (Vise (tool)) but now that I am aware of the policy I will follow it. --129.22.150.118 18:57, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Moron (psychology)

Hi. I can't use googlevideo but I assume the video reference you recently added to Moron (psychology) is a clip from a BBC documentary and therefore a copyright infringement (see WP:COPY)? If so then you should probably remove it. If not then feel free to ignore me. Either way, well done for trying to improve the article and add a reference. Random Passer-by 23:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

If you've watched the video clip and it references a particular point in the article you can still add it as a reference using the following citation template but with two curly brackets instead of round brackets and inside reference tags, see WP:REF#Footnotes.

((cite video

 | people =
 | title = Stupidity
 | medium = Television programme
 | publisher = BBC
 | location =
 | date = 2006-01-17))

Sorry if this makes an ugly box but you can delete it later. :-) Random Passer-by 00:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I've been checking too. You appear to have created this article, yes? So you ought to know what the supposed reference is referring to, yes? The reference you've now added isn't to a BBC documentary. I suspect a hoax so I'll ask you directly: are you a hoaxer? Random Passer-by 02:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

My drug of choice is chocolate, thank you for asking. ;-P I discovered a problem with a small group of related Wikipedia articles (my) last night and I suspected a possible hoax so I asked you politely if you were involved. I'm sorry if I came across as rude or unreasonable (it was late and I was tired). The hoaxing problem has now been dealt with by someone other than me. If you'd added an edit summary when you moved the Moron page then I'd've been able to see that you'd moved the page and not created it (and so would anyone else who might need that information in future). You might consider adding edit summaries to your major edits in future. I'm glad you feel the clips of archive footage in that documentary are a good reference for that paragraph of the article (as I said before, I can't use google video) and I've reformatted the citation to reflect this in standard Wikipedia style. You can, of course, revert it if you please. I only arrived at that page to revert obvious vandalism, I have no vested interest in it, and won't be editing it again. I hope you have fun with Wikipedia in the future. :-) Random Passer-by 15:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Woodworking Project Ratings

You've caught me! I'm kinda going on a tear through various projects unassessed articles, so my ratings can be a bit cursory. But I figure, better they're rated as something, rather than not rated at all. And I don't watch the articles, so if folks feel like changing the ratings (up or down), I won't know. Wouldn't argue anyway, as the ratings system can be a bit subjective. Which is why I don't assess importance, as that's way subjective. As to criteria, yeah, I'm going by article length. But if there's a decent picture, I'll usually rate it at least a start. I tend to rate low anyway, I'd rather underrate than overrate. So if you wanna alter my assessments, 't'won't bother me a bit. A drill bit. Get it? A barrel of laughs, that's me. :) --~~

Edge join(t)ing

I assumed that there was an article about edge joining, and when it turned out to be a redlink, I left it because I assumed there would be an article eventually. I actually know nothing about woodworking, so I couldn't possibly write the article. —tregoweth (talk) 03:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Plaster vandalism

It wasn't vandalism. The information was added back in in my second edit. 171.71.37.103 23:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

When The Tigers Broke Free

Hi, I removed the alternate listing as you'd previously said you thought "Tygers" may have been the original spelling which it isn't. I just thought it over complicated things but fine, I'll leave it. NH 79.121.143.143 (talk) 17:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

CNC Router Spam

(moved from user page)

I'm not sure how to send a message, but you need to stop removing posts, just because you dont agree with them. I am adding a link of interest to people seeking information on cnc routing. It is not spam and I am not trying to get hits from search engines.

This forum is created for use of all people to share information, use it as such or you will be banned for disruptive posts. 75.67.231.37

Unreferenced template

Thanks for your message. You're entirely right - I shouldn't have added the template to those articles where there isn't any actually dubious information, especially after I've been advised not to before. Feel free to remove them. I have something of an addiction to that template, it seems... probably a sign that I should take a break from Wikipedia. You have my apologies. Terraxos (talk) 04:07, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

That's alright, I'm the one who's taking things too seriously. Clearly a sign that I need to log off and regain my sense of proportion. :) Terraxos (talk) 04:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

www.cncrouter.info

http://www.cncrouter.info is a very useful website for any cnc people,add it as an external link to cnc page,please add your views

Dowelmax test results in WOOD magazine

I see you removed the test results. Why? What could be more NPOV than test results from one of the largest woodworking magazines in the world, one that accepts a lot of advertising money from Festool to boot? Are you implying that WOOD magazine is biased? ► RATEL ◄ 01:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Triffids

Sorry, must have slipped when I was editing - I was just cutting out the blatant "in one scene of one episode/comic/game/film, a triffid is mentioned in passing" stuff. --McGeddon (talk) 23:28, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Bread Climp

Could you please explain how a bread climp, is not a type of fastener? It is a very common item in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KnivesOut8888 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

No, I've never heard of a climp... Maybe you're thinking of gimp? Do you miss your gimp? SilentC (talk) 03:28, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

These http://www.didntyouhear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/milkandbread.jpg This is a Bread Climp. It's a type of fastener and I really don't understand why it's page keeps getting deleted and I keep getting reported just for trying to add an article to what I thought was a free encyclopedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KnivesOut8888 (talk • contribs) 03:42, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, your edit to Lords Prayer is misunderstood too. :) SilentC (talk) 04:01, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
