876:. I realize that my reversion of the alumni section was probably not ideal, in that there were probably some missing entries and citations. I felt reversion would be less work than removing the headings and re-alphabetizing the more recent version of that section. I didn't have time go back through and fix it, sorry about that! Feel free to do so, and make the other edits you suggested above, remembering of course that on Knowledge our standard for notability when listing people in alumni sections is that they already have a Knowledge article. I hope that explains. Have a fantastic day! P.S. Don't forget to sign your posts with 4 tildes (~~~~). 1085:
template you can use to copy and paste. If you want the actual template to render fully on the page as it would look in use, then it should be "substed". I hope that explains. I won't address the Rose thing since you didn't link to the article. Normally I would delete posts that don't link to the article(s) in question (as per the "Read Me" note at the top of the page), but since your post is addressing multiple issues I chose to reply. So rather than owe you an apology (and I am truly sorry there was a misunderstanding) I think you should realize I was actually trying to help you. Have a great day!

The automatic notification, which appears as a red number at the top of the person's page, will summon the other person to wherever the conversation is. -- 333:
to me as to what is supposedly wrong with it. Lack of a response from the person who doesn't like my article and lack of specific details of what I've supposedly done wrong just makes me feel like someone maybe being difficult for the sake of it - otherwise surely they'd point out specifics rather than vague guidelines which don't really tell me anything.

fixed. You also dropped several alumni that had been added. And can you explain the reason you removed the photos from several sections? The overall issue with your edits is that you reverted to inaccurate references that had been painstakingly changed and cited. If there were issues, then the site needed a surgical edit not a meat clever.

Hi. I think the trend here on the English wiki is to keep all the threads on the same page, but it depends somewhat on the preferences of the the user. I like having it all on one page so I can better track the conversation. Some people put a notice on the top of their page on how they would like the

About Kevin Rose, his offer to buy back the house he purchased is bogus, which is why I reversed it. It was his duty to perform due diligence on his house -- to have it inspected for termites, structural damage, etc. before he bought it. Everybody who has purchased a house knows this. He obviously

didn't have the house inspected before he bought it. You can't buy something, have buyer's remorse, and expect the seller to buy it back from you. You can do that with shoes, but not with houses. Rose's offer to buy back the house is just a ploy to fend off his would-be new neighbors.

for why we try not to "talk up" a place in an encyclopedia article.) And what you called a "stock photo" was by one of our longtime active WikiProject Oregon editors, so that was bit offputting. Also, it appears the Timbertown sign image is rather blurry. Why don't you go ask over at

You too, Valfontis. I came across your name because of your comment about the articles "Timeline of Foo". (There, Jasiekzar, see how that works? I knew Valfontis had posted a note to me here, because they cited my user name in brackets. That's also called "pinging" the person.)

Thanks for welcoming me. I have one question: normally do I answer to new threads on my talk page or on the page of a person who wrote to me? In my home, Polish wiki it's the latter, but I noticed that here that the whole conversation seem to be on the same talk page. Thanks,
