- See the user projects page for current projects of our archivists, or help us to reduce the number of stubs.

Show Preview
Edit
Please make use of the Show Preview button when editing articles. You made 7 edits to Go in under 7 minutes, most of which seem to have been simply to see if the edit you made worked properly, which can be done better with the preview button, rather than repeated saves to the database. Thanks! -- Sulfur 13:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Quote Formats
Edit
Just to let you know, but when you made changes to the Q2 quotes formats, you changed them from the agreed upon format to a new one. The agreed format is as follows (please note the comma in the attribution):
"Here is my quote."
- - User:Sulfur, showing an example to User:Randomname
As such, I reverted your edits so that the quotes are back in a format that matches the quotes in several hundred other articles. Thanks for your future consideration! -- Sulfur 01:27, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
"inuse" articles
Edit
There's a template for that, just to let you know, it's {{inuse}}. That should save you from having to figure out the various tags and flags for making your own little box. Just to let you know. :) -- Sulfur 21:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you Sulfur, I was looking for that template I just could not find it.– Randomname 21:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
