Just in case you miss it when you log in again ;-), there are new comments on Talk:Wikiversity. I don't always check my watchlist on Wikipedia so you might have to wait a bit before I see any response you make, or you can ping me on Wikiversity. Cheers!

Semaphore line blanking
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Semaphore line, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Dear Coren,In the process of splitting Semaphore into flag semaphore, semaphore line, and Railway signal, I found that your bot blanked one of my articles, since I hadn't deleted yet the original. The original article, however, does include template:splitsection, and I think your bot should be able to recognize that. For the rest, I don't think this bot was such a bad idea, it just needs some perfecting.--Once in a Blue Moon (talk) 19:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The bot shouldn't be able to blank anything. Can you provide me with a diff so I can track this down?  &mdash; Coren (talk) 19:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * This is the exact moment the article was blanked. . Obviously, it was someone else's doing. No, I hadn't looked into it before, I simply supposed that the message I was getting, and what was on the page 60 seconds later, were in reference to the same thing. Sorry about that.--190.74.108.43 (talk) 19:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. For future reference, however, what you've been doing has another problem altogether.  By copying the contents of Semaphore into Semaphore line you would be loosing the edit history which is a big GFDL no-no.  The correct way of doing a disambiguation like that is to move the article into its new title and replace the then-created redirect with the disambiguation.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 19:47, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoa whoa wait. I can't move the article towards two places, or can I? (that's why I'm splitting it like this) --Once in a Blue Moon (talk) 19:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, and that's a GFDL headache. As a workable compromise, history should follow the bigger part; and the paste over the created redirect is made to contain a wikilink to the new name so that history can be followed (manually).  My understanding is that this was the case, although I haven't looked at all the history of what exactly you have been doing &mdash; I might have mistaken which was the bigger part.
 * It's too late now to make the move (if it's still warranted) by a non-admin (because of the existing target), but I'll do it for you if you need. &mdash; Coren (talk) 20:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Semaphore line is indeed the biggest part. Tell you what: I expect to be done with Semaphore line in five minutes. At that time I'll paste the contents of Semaphore line over the main Semaphore page (without the "in use" template) Do you think you could do the delete/move/whatever it is you do/ for me then? I'd appreciate it if you also don't leave a redirect at Semaphore, because I'm going to move Semaphore (disambiguation) towards there.--190.74.108.43 (talk) 20:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The redirect gets created automatically upon a move, but I'll delete it to make room. Just say the word once you're ready. &mdash; Coren (talk) 20:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ready--Once in a Blue Moon (talk) 20:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * All done. Remember to link to the Semaphore line history.  &mdash; Coren (talk) 20:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * That was fast! Thank you! er.. what do you mean "link to the history"?--190.74.108.43 (talk) 20:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * A linke like this so you can jump straight from history to history &mdash; but don't worry about it; this is strictly a convenience and not a requirement. &mdash; Coren (talk) 20:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I missed your note until now. I agree with Steve, that it would be great to see more people contributing unique creative work related to Wikipedia: cartoons, caricatures, serious illustrations or graphics, photographs, or whatever. As for the WikiWorld project itself, it's not really my call to open that up to other contributors - since the use of Wikipedia's name and logo had to be approved by the Wikimedia Foundation. Luckily, they liked my work well enough to give me the go-ahead. Likewise for the inclusion of the comics in The Wikipedia Signpost, which would be totally at the discretion of the Signpost's editor(s).

If you'd like to develop your own separate project (unconnected to WikiWorld), more power to you. Or, if you're mainly interested in continuing with the established WikiWorld template, I'd be happy to take a look at your stuff - and to speak up on your behalf, if I think it would be a good fit. Either way, I'd be happy to give you my thoughts after I've had a chance to see your work. Why don't you e-mail a couple of things to wikiworldcomic@yahoo.com and we can discuss the best way to proceed. (Or, feel free to approach the Wikimedia Foundation and the Signpost on your own, if you like.)

Thanks for your interest! --Greg Williams (talk) 14:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
