You did a fairly good job on it, however, you left quite a few grammatical mistakes that I just went in and fixed. :) Razorflame 00:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
To make a Wiktionary link, use [[wikt:text|text]].-- Lights talk 12:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Please check for existing articles under a different name, such as the one that I just found under Graphics card (being a duplicate of Video card). Thanks, Razorflame 16:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Each year page needs to follow the same basic layout when dealing with the order of headings. The order is:
Also the Nobel recipients need to be linked to their articles. If an article does not exist, there should be no entry on the year page for it. This is standard for all headings in that the main point of the entry must have a matching article. Red-links are acceptable in explaining the main point. -- Creol(talk) 22:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
As we realy do not have many articles for most of the headings past movies, there really is no set pattern for those near the bottom of the pages. The top three are set in stone, the next three can get a little iffy (they should be there, but we don't have the articles to support them usually - or with movies, there are only so many years when they exist). Sports tend to be left out as the pages are usually only for the most notable of events. Sports along the lines of the Olympics (when and where), and the World Cup and Superbowl champions are notable enough for an entry in the Events section but do not need an entire section dedicated to them. A seperate page for sport events by year would be a better idea if trying to incorporate more than just the top events. This page could be listed under "See also" and if enough years had them, it could be added in a template to the upper right of the page (similar to en:wp's year in topic section). -- Creol(talk) 21:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey there RTG! I noticed your userpage is a red link, and I am encouraging you to create your userpage so that it isn't a red link anymore. Please consider this. Razorflame 16:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
My advice to you would be to break down some of the more complex words, such as earning, employment, and so on. Another bit of advice that I would give to you would be to break apart the article so that it doesn't/isn't formatted the exact same as the English Wikipedia's version of the article. It should look different than the English Wikipedia's version because we are different from the English Wikipedia. Also, don't forget the interwiki links :).

[[en:Magnetism]]
Where it says en, you can also put in the language codes for any other Wikipedia that has a page created for that topic. For example:
[[pl:Magnetism]]

I like the resizing of the picture on Abbey Road Studios; I've only recently discovered different pics on Wikimedia Commons that would go nicely with articles I've started. (Had I known sooner, they'd already be there.) If you want to do that with other pics I've added to articles (planning to add a couple to Jack Kerouac next; too bad there aren't any portrait shots of him at the Commons... so far), I wouldn't object. Thanks! Zephyrad (talk) 17:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply, and the lesson on pics. - I sorta don't want to fuss with pic sizes, but I'll keep it in mind. I completely agree, this Wiki could use a lot more of them. I spent a chunk of yesterday adding pics to pages I've already done. If only I'd known sooner that we had 'em to work with... I am disappointed that there are no portrait pics available of Jack Kerouac or Neal Cassady. The pic of the original On the Road manuscript took me by surprise. I was delighted to add that one. (BTW, I don't suppose you got the ref, on the header here?) ;-) Zephyrad (talk) 16:23, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually I wasn't looking at the video game page; I was thinking of an old TV commercial, for handheld versions of popular video games, transformed (and thus resized) by "Mister Arcade" from the originals. Odd coincidence. Anyway, thanks for the talk and the pointers. I'll keep an eye out for you... in a nice way. Zephyrad (talk) 19:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
You've got mail :) Razorflame 00:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for voting in my RfA, which ended unsuccessfully with 59% support. I found this Request for adminship to be extremely helpful in learning what I need to work on now and I appreciate your vote in my RfA, as every vote that was posted helped me learn a little bit more about myself and the work I do here on the Simple English Wikipedia. Even though the RfA failed, I still thought it to be an extremely successful RfA and I hope to show you what I can do now. Cheers, Razorflame 21:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
The syntax is: #REDIRECT Page title

Hi,
The link is [1]. Please dont take to WP:ST as it's not relevant. Contact me for more info. Thanks, BG7even 09:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
RTG, I have replied to your request on my talk page. Thanks. · Tygrrr... 16:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Please stop adding the advertisements on article talk pages of video games until we can discuss this at WP:ST. I've started a thread. – RyanCross (talk) 06:01, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you're tagging talk pages for deletion.
Please use ((QD|reason)), changing reason to the actual reason you want the page deleted. Thanks. Microchip • talk 10:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello there. As to Crème brûlée, just wanted to note that even French Wikipedia fr:Crème brûlée spells it with an accent on the u (but if I look at fr:Rapport de 1990 sur les rectifications orthographiques they indeed say L'accent circonflexe disparait sur i et u, mais on le maintient dans les terminaisons verbales du passé simple, du subjonctif, et en cas d'ambigüité. (The circmflex dissapears on i and u, but is maintained in word-endings of the passé simple, subjonctif, and when there is ambiguity (the passé simple and subjoctif are special tenses Engllish does not really have). I just wondered what to do with the red-link footnote? --Eptalon (talk) 12:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Ah, that is in reference to the language they are using. I really don't know anything about that. I guess that should be removed. As for the spelling and pronunciation guides, again I really don't know anything about that (its all greek looking to me) ~ R.T.G 12:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Please do not label things I have done as incorrect when it is your error. The article on the Lakes of Titan is unnecessarily complex. The reference is not in the article on Titan (moon) - the bolded nomination for the hook- that is what counts for the purposes of DYK.
I spent some time searching through the references given for the reference to verify the assertion about Titan. Thanks to your note I have now established that NASA dies state that Titan [is] the only body in the solar system besides Earth known to possess lakes at [2] - you need to now update the article on Titan to include that reference.
Do not verify your own nominations or add them to the next update! You have been told that by more than one other editor.
I know the question marks are part of the hook - that is why I added them in the diff to which I assume you refer to two other hooks. --Matilda (talk) 00:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello there, regarding Communication, there are two nice graphics in the EnWP article, but they are not yet on Commons. However, they would likely mean that we need to extend the article to include the fact that there needs to be some kind of common vocabulary of signs or tokens. There is no use of me telling you about a tree, if you have no idea what I am talking about. Unfortunately, I currently do not have the time to port them to commons, atm. --Eptalon (talk) 16:31, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
We do not censor articles...anything that is notable and verifable, stays. I could argue that all of our biological articles - penis vagina ejaculation sexual intercourse - would not be suitable for kids, but they'd laugh if I tried to nominate those for deletion. (Note: hypotical, I have no problme with those article.) alexandra (talk) 18:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, could you? Well I would laugh too. Potential links, however, to the fuck factory and whores.com I would speedy delete every time because they are not the same laughing matter. Do you think it is worth contacting me personally and making comparisons to biological articles? Do you think I should not draw attention to this subject as it is unhelpful? ~ R.T.G 18:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC) NOTE Reference ~ R.T.G 18:57, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Please keep the discussino on your talk page, as it started tehere. Thanks.
I don't understand what you think by me "winning." This isn't a fight. The winner is the encyclopedia. If the article meets the Wikipedia's notability standards, it is kept. Your "not suitable for children" argument is arguing from a nonexistent policy on this Wikipedia. Instead of attacking my attempted defense to that, destroy my defense by pointing me to a policy that says we censor articles for children's sake. alexandra (talk) 19:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
I do not comprehend your deletion, without discussion and the comment that you made- "persuasion". The statements are that Nudity doesn't constitute pornography, and matters dealing with sex and erotica do not constitute pornography, and that sometimes the line between erotica and pornography have been disputed in court. None of these statements constitute "persuasion" in any direction? What's your problem with it? Amandajm (talk) 12:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I've userfied List of types of clothing to User:RTG/List of types of clothing as per your request. Take care, – RyanCross (talk) 07:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
