Request to Rename the Image File
Dear Minh Nguyễn,

Would you please help me to rename the image file that I uploaded at en.wikipedia for several days ago? The reason that why I would like to ask for your assistance to help me to rename this image file is correcting the obvious errors in the file name.

The image file that I mean is: "1024px-Location East Nusa Tenggara Great Manggarai.png" and I would like to change this image file name become "1024px-Location East Nusa Tenggara Greater Manggarai.png"

I would grateful if you could help me realize my desire to request for renaming the image file that I mention above. Thank you very much and may GOD bless you always.

Best Regards,

Thank you.
Hi,

I wanted to say "Thank you" for fixing my accidential deletion of some text on the Pope John Paul II article on May 1. I had repaired several "dead links" for the article and I guess after a few hours online, I got a bit tired. I logged off once I saw that my last two edits were reverted. I was actually rather embarassed at my error and I'm glad it was fixed. Thanks again for your quick action.

living-or-DEAD-tude of link, may depend upon user privileges
Please see this edit which I made recently to the article SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. When I tried to access the material pointed to by the URL (http://www.stanforddaily.com/cgi-bin/?p=556) in footnote no. "[1]", I got a squawk of ; but when others try to click there, YMMV. I was not sure if there is such a thing as a "user-privileges-dependent" version of the   tag, so I just used an ordinary (plain vanilla)    tag. Sorry if I am ignorant of what the other options might have been. ("See also" the new footnote no. "[2]" in that article). Just "FYI". C U ! --Mike Schwartz (talk) 19:42, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Article about you on AN
There is an discussion on AN now which involves the speedy deletion of an article about you. Yoenit (talk) 20:41, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads-up. From Google's cached copy, it looks to have been a reprise of an article that was written about me a few weeks ago at the Vietnamese Wikipedia but later got deleted. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 22:16, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Nomination
I have nominated your birth article XD! I know this is one of your earliest article you ever created and also one of the best articles you got. Good luck and hope you can satisfy all the tough critics from many tough editors to improve the article to its maximum, which i think it's already at its peak. Anyway here is where you can discuss about it. I believe i will see this article to on at the front page sometimes close in the future heeee.Trongphu (talk) 04:34, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. The reason for the apparent blotchiness of the list of countries is because the script was targeting chain-linking – the practice of linking successive words to their own article. I firmly believe that such bunched links do not encourage the reader to click through. Ordinarily, as an example of how the script works, it would unlink the 'Idaho' in ' Boise, Idaho '; it will also unlink 'Zimbabwe' in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Where such sprawling horizontal lists exist in articles, I tend to unlink all the countries. I believe the case of retaining these links are weak; the fact that they are non-specific makes it worse. Whilst I still do not favour those chained links in your example, even in the context of the above article, better, more contextual linking could be had by replacing with links more focussed on the context, viz: Over the years, foreign exchange students have come from many countries, including Brazil, Germany, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Spain, and Vietnam.

 * Agreed. conjunctions are usually avoided. I would just note that some country links, such as France, United Kingdom, United States and Australia are unlinked de facto as "common terms". Where these are clearly contextual and appropriate, I usually add them back. -- Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 08:25, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I also just noticed that you thought my removal of superscripted ordinals was "overzealous". I was going by what the guideline suggests – superscripting is considered unnecessary. Of course, should you once again undo this, I will not revert you. Cheers, -- Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 15:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I've been working on creating WikiProject Stanford University. As a primary editor of the Stanford University article, I figured this might be relevant to you :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 05:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
