leave a message

When you revert IP vandalism...
...like you did four times today (thanks!)... why not leave a message on the IP user's talk page? Just paste the following onto the vandal's talk page:  ==July 2009==   <> - ~  This warning tells the vandal that their action has been noticed. If the IP user is a persistent vandal, the warning is the first step towards a WP:AIV block. - Pointillist (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I know I probably should do that. I used to all the time. Once I see them vandalise, I try to keep an eye on the IP user for a short while. If they continue then I start leaving messages. In my experience, they usually vandalise as some sort of test then stop, but of course, many continue and get blocked. DVD 23:12, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Help with indexing
Does anyone know if placing NOINDEX on my user and talk pages noindexes all the subpages or do I have to place the noindex on each of them? DVD 00:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Just the specific page, I'm afraid - so yes, you'd need it on any that you don't want indexing.  Chzz  ►  00:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I mostly wanted to noindex my talkpage archives. DVD 00:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Bit related to Vesnin brothers
I was wrong writing that "Arcos building was not built". It was built in 1927-1928, but not to Vesnin's design: NVO (talk) 19:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's ok to be wrong every once in a while, I know I am. The picture and the correction are nicely done and make up for it. Though it wasn't the Vesnins' building; judging by the picture, it's still quite impressive. I'd like to know more about Mayat now that I've seen this. If you don't mind me saying, you are a good candidate to be writing books. You've already written a book's worth here, and have so many photographs. Maybe you like writing on the internet better though. DVD 01:53, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Architecture
Hi DVD, I wonder if I might trouble you to read this little section on Giano's page about improving the architecture article? I think really what's needed is some input to get a good heading structure, after which I'm fairly confident the article will pretty much write itself - any news, views or opinions? --Joopercoopers (talk) 20:54, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for stopping by. To be honest, I have trouble focusing on architecture anymore. But since you asked I'll take a look and get back to you soon, if replying in a few days is ok. DVD 21:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a terrible shame! What caused that? I seemed to have terrible pains getting into architecture as a student, but once it got it's claws in, that was that. Sure, as long as you like man. take care --Joopercoopers (talk) 21:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even though only involved for a short while, I got sort of burned out on architecture. Yet my interest is still off and on sometimes still at intervals. I expect that you can make an amazing article out of what is already there. Like I said though, I have to attend to some other stuff at the moment, but can read up and reply as soon as I can.

 * After two days of thought, I still have no ideas on how to improve the article - not meaning that I don't think there are any, just that I don't have any at the moment. The topic is too much for me now. I wish you success with it though. DVD 22:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries - thanks for your thoughts. --Joopercoopers (talk) 23:32, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
