Request from Kazuya369

Hi Chris, really appreciate your correction on the article TTDI. I really need your help on something else....I made some extra changes on the same article and i noticed the changes only showed up on the article from my computer when I log in. However, from another public computer(or clearing the cookies on my browser), i noticed that the changes cannot be seen until i click on "edit this page". Just wondering what could be the reason for that? I tried searching on the help section and read about the /ref but that still doesn't work. Maybe I am doing it wrong then? Many Thanks.(or u can email me at kazuya_xtr@yahoo.com) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kazuya369 (talk • contribs) 13:06, January 25, 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris. Nice to see that you're still active. Could I ask you to a copy-edit on the article Johannes S. Andersen. I'm planning on Good article nominating it. Manxruler (talk) 22:13, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch. :) Yep, Andersen was quite the colourful character. Not your average resistance fighter/secret agent to say the least. Happy continued editing. Manxruler (talk) 00:31, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Convert with adj=mid

30-March-2010: I have changed Convert to allow option "adj=mid" for specifying mid-text. Examples:

• {{convert|340|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}}         →   340-metre-high (1,120 ft)
• {{convert|340|m|ft|adj=mid|-high cone}} →   340-metre-high cone (1,120 ft)
• {{convert|43|km|mi|adj=mid|-wide}}     →   43-kilometre-wide (27 mi)
• {{convert|6|ft|m|adj=mid|-radius circle}}     →   6-foot-radius circle (1.8 m)

Although option "adj=mid" was designed for adjective phrases, it can be used without hyphens, by using unit symbols (abbr=on or abbr=in), so that many conversions can have mid-text inserted. Many idioms flow much better if the converted amount is shown afterward, as an afterthought following the phrase:

• He took a {{convert|2|L|USGAL|adj=mid|bottle}}   → He took a 2-litre bottle (0.53 US gal).

• The log is {{convert|7|ft|m|adj=mid|too long|abbr=on}} →   The log is 7 ft too long (2.1 m).

Thanks for noting many articles need mid-text wording. -Wikid77 12:34, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

• KEEP GOING. Please don't be afraid that "adj=mid" will be removed from {Convert}. I have worked on that template for 3 years, and I don't forsee any major problems with adj=mid. Put the rounding at the end (as "|0 }}" appended). People might talk about better ways to insert mid-text words, but very few people actually modify hundreds of Convert subtemplates to change anything, so rest assured, Convert with adj=mid is here to stay, for a long time. I have written an essay for simplifying Convert, to allow a named parameter "mid=zzzz" but that would probably require over a year to accomplish, with everyone in agreement, but instead, I'm seeing opposition (to the simplest changes), so I expect it would be years before Convert was simplified by consensus. Plus, adj=mid would be supported in a new rewrite of Convert. -Wikid77 (talk) 10:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Countenance divine

I have opened an AfD for Countenance divine at WP:Articles for deletion/Countenance divine if you are interested. Tb (talk) 01:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Publically

Publically is not an incorrect spelling, although I agree that publicly is the more common version. Thanks for doing a good job on the general proof-reading, though! DiverScout (talk) 07:19, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks mate :)

Your opinion

Hi since you touched up the page that I wrote, "Palmietfontein Airport", please give me your opinion on this sentence from the article I have edited entitled "Rand Airport" : "The airport hosts Air Charter Operators, Flying Schools and a number of Aircraft Maintenance Organizations, as well as Pilot Shops, Car Hire and other enterprises.[2]" as far as the use of capital letters is concerned.
