Wikicities!
Vik, two weeks ago you turned me on to Wikicities. Well, I applied for a Wiki there and they accepted my idea. Over the past two weeks, I've been creating the structure, the help files, the policies and guidelines, uploading images, and making some articles to prove as templates.
Thanks for introducing me to Wikicities. It sure prevents a lot of headaches for me. Please come visit the site. Look around. And if you feel so inclined, edit. High-level and low-level edits are welcomed! Kingturtle 17:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hey no problem. I'll check it out, but I don't know anything about SCUM (what does the U stand for?) so I probably won't edit. →Vik Reykja 07:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The U stands for Underground. Kingturtle 06:29, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Let's go to a Giants game soon. (Kingturtle)
- Absolutely! Let's try and time it so we see one they actually win.

Hi Vikreykja,
I just ran across your minor leage baseball team template while changing {{baseball stub}} (which is on WP:SFD) to {{baseball-stub}} in all articles that use it - the former redirects to the latter. Your template uses the non-standard form, and it would be nice if you could add the hyphen to your template. Also, I subst:ituted your template in on the two articles that still used the live template (Greensboro Grasshoppers and Elizabethton Twins), so that I could change the stub template without editing your userspace. If there is a serious reason for using transclusion in this case (I see none, but what do I know), you can revert them back once you change your template, of course. -- grm_wnr Esc 20:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Unless it's obvious vandalism or soap boxing, I very rarely revert anything. See WP:SFD/baseball stub for the rest of my opinion on this issue. →Vik Reykja 08:02, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Salve!
I nominated W. Mark Felt as a WP:FAC. As you commented on the Deep Throat talk page, I'd appreciate your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. Mark Felt. PedanticallySpeaking 15:44, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
Esperanto
Sorry about that, occasionally my browser cuts things off, especially when they are long lists. I try to watch for this, but sometimes it escapes me. Thanks for fixing it. --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 23:29, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- PS: Would you please check the other articles I added the template to to make sure I didn't mess anything else up. It would be most of the links on the template. Thanks. --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 23:38, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- It wasn't a problem of truncation, it was the Arab/Oriental/Cyrillic/etc languages getting changed to a bunch of question marks. The other pages didn't get upset. →Vik Reykja 23:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. That is odd. I believe my browser has some issues. I might need to upgrade it. I appreciate the assistance. --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 00:07, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
Left Behind
Hiya. You've reverted the slacktivist link off the Left Behind page at least eight times now, and it's been de-reverted by a whole variety of people. You seem to have been careful to keep it to 3 reverts in 24 hours, but just barely - four in 25 hours on the 22nd of July. And that rule is really there as an indicator that you've gone way over the line, not as a legalistic thing where you're A-OK as long as you don't break the letter of the law. So maybe you could leave it to someone else to decide to revert that link off for a while, because it sure looks to me like you're basically the only one interested in doing so right now. (As I was composing this I note you reverted my last change but left in the slacktivist link - a good sign!) Cromis 02:58, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
- I'm taking it out from time to time, but leaving it in most of the time because it's on WP:RfC. It is a shame so many anonymous users want it there. It truly is a junk link that does nothing to improve Wikipedia. I don't care how many other articles have junk links too, I don't watch those. I tried to be fair by removing all the op-ed links, but we couldn't have that. We must at all costs boost some blogger's ego, no matter how shitty the content. Sad, really. →Vik Reykja 03:07, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
