Template:WikiProject Portugal
Hi, I saw your message on Linchers page. I've put together the template so I may be able to help. I had a brief look at the template it seems fine, are there any specific articles which you've rated but are not being classified. (you can reply here) --Salix alba (talk) 15:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. Well, for one, I can't seem to have any article counted on WikiProject_Portugal.  I assume it's an error on the Template I created to assess, but I'm not sure.  It might also be an error on the stats.-- Saoshyant  talk / contribs (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 15:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * As Lincher says wait a day and see what happens. If problems persist drop us a note. --Salix alba (talk) 15:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Problem is, the problem's persiting for way longer than a day. The first articles to be assessed were almost two weeks ago...-- Saoshyant  talk / contribs (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 16:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Which article? One example would help in tracking down the problem. --Salix alba (talk) 16:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, Portugal for one. Or Portal:Portugal they are some of the first to have been tagged.-- Saoshyant  talk / contribs (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 16:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem is the -related in the categories. Mathbot is succesfully creating Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Portugal-related articles by quality statistics but not Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Portugal articles by quality statistics. I've fixed the two pages which transcluded the statistics. --Salix alba (talk) 17:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Awesome! It works now.  You have my grattitude.-- Saoshyant  talk / contribs (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 17:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to and thanks for asking but I most likely won't. I've been feeling that Wikipedia is just not worth the trouble and I'm also not prepared to write articles or do a project just for someone with half a brain to come and change things with stupid comments and POVs. I'm glad you thought of me though. Good luck with the project.

Plan 9 and Ogg
A good place to find Plan 9 software is contrib index in the Plan 9 wiki, in particular cnielsen ported various ogg tools: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Contrib_index/index.html#CNIELSEN --Lost Goblin 17:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I the players were ported earlier by someone else, just googling around I found this:, I also know people that uses jukefs (see juke(7)) with ogg files and I think flac files too. In any case you are probably best off asking the 9fans list for details. --Lost Goblin 15:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

userboxes
hey Saoshyant, thanks for pointing out to me those userboxes. I did notice, I just didn't get around to do doing it yet. A pity for some, I thought some were good and quite useful, they seem to be getting less and less. cheers Gryffindor  18:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Spoken Wikipedia boilerplate
Hi - Regarding your change to this template (does -> may), I'm a bit confused. How could a spoken version of a given date reflect subsequent edits to the article's text? - SCEhard T 04:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Nope, didn't revert the edit. I guess what I was saying is if the text has been edited then the spoken version does not reflect the changes.  I don't really see how a spoken version could ever reflect subsequent edits (your point seems to be that the article may not have been edited, which is different).  Basically I think using "does" will cause less confusion for people not familiar with the whole process (they won't be left wondering whether or not new changes are reflected in the spoken version.)  However, it's not really a big deal so I'll leave it to you to decide whether to change it back or not :-)
 * I don't know when I'll have time to work on a spoken article, but I'll consider doing Vorbis when I get a chance. - SCEhard T 22:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
