(re: Infrogmation moving USA specific article "List of American radio networks" to "List of United States radio networks")
Changing names from American to United States is very controversial and should not be taken without discussion. RickK 04:55, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- It has been discussed here for some years. While a few people get upset if the more vague term isn't used, a larger number seem to prefer precise terms for encyclopedia articles. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 04:58, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- And there is no consensus to make this change. In addition, the precise term would be United States of America. After all, we wouldn't want to offend the citizens of the United States of Mexico. RickK 05:02, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

- *Yawn* Why not continue this ancient discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (US vs American) , or try to get a consensus somewhere like the Village Pump if you prefer. -- Infrogmation 05:14, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your note on my talk page. I have replied there. Oddly the upshot is that my move was actually in line with policy, though I didn't know it at the time, and that that policy is completely at odds with de facto standards on article pages. Something to clear up perhaps? Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 15:53, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Interesting. -- Infrogmation 16:17, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the fill-in; it was awfully stubby at Maggie Gallagher before you arrived. :-) --Uncle Ed 17:37, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I swear I did this once already (here, I mean, not just on my own talk page), but thanks for the feedback on the Blaze Starr page. It's much appreciated. -- Scarequotes 00:12, Mar 5, 2004 (UTC)
your Change From Intervention In Chie to U.S. Intervention.... is nice Thanks ! Milton 20:10, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your response to my comments at Wikipedia:Votes for adminship. Although you read way to much into my posting, I'm really glad that you gave me a chance to explain that that wasn't at all what I had had in mind. 172 19:53, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Thank you for your cordiality despite our difference of opinion there. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 20:14, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
How do you do? I'm User:66.4.225.3. I'm Japanese and I can't speak English well. So please explain what you mean in Easy English. Thank you. ja:利用者:K.M.
Ah! I hadn't realized the smaller pic had been altered. I really prefer not having a separate image link for the larger image. Would it be possible to alter the larger image so that it works at 200 px? This is one of the places my color-blindness handicaps me.... - UtherSRG 02:52, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I just wander through pages with links to a "larger image" and replace them with the auto-thumbnailed version. My reasons for that include
- More unified look of wikipedia
- The uploaded thumbnail pics will be deleted once search functions are back online (new server...), which will reduce work for us when re-classifying the copyright status of all our images
- I need to keep busy while the compiler is runnig ;-)
If you don't like the auto-thumbnailed version, just change it back; I promise I won't start an edit war! :-) --Magnus Manske 16:24, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Nice work on that bit of vandalism :) I was just listing it on speedy deletions! akaDruid 16:11, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Actually, it should be Conservadores and not Conservativos -- if we're trying to use the Spanish word, not some sort of strange English calque. Check out, for example, [1]. Or google for <"Benito Juarez" conservativos> vs. <"Benito Juarez" conservadores>. Probably lower case and in italic is the way to go, too. Hth, –Hajor 19:09, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks. I don't know where I picked up "Conservativos". I tend to be skeptical of edits by unlogged in users who have made no other edits. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 19:17, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind. I took the liberty of tweaking the contrast (and using a little piece from the right edge to fill in the little sliced-off segment at the left. It's a wonderful picture and I thought it was a shame that you couldn't easily make out the information in the "label." I tried uploading the images under the same names but for some reason that didn't work, so there my adjusted versions are named EBerlinerGramophoneDisc2.jpg and BerlinerDisc2.jpg. I converted the png to a jpg which didn't seem to lose any visible information and reduced the file size down to 24 kb. Dpbsmith 02:34, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Please see Talk:St. Louis Blues. Cheers, 24.217.219.69 04:41, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on RFA! It is much appreciated. –Hajor 16:34, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Woops, sorry about that. I really don't know how that typo happened. :/ Dan Matic 05:21, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for giving me the markup on Ann Prentiss and Captain Nice. I did write an article on the latter...that show rocked! It's among my 10 all time favorites, and I'm looking for it somewhere--anywhere!
I enjoyed it immensely when I was a kid, and even "played" Candy Kane at a con somewhere. 'twas tons of fun!
See ya soon.
Love, hollflanders.
Every Thing Must Go
link fron Manics Street Preachers now corrupted by new page Scraggy4
- Replied to on User talk:Scraggy4 -- Infrogmation
It is just that when I now click on the Everything Must Go link on the manics page it goes to the steely dan page. and as you seem to be more capable of using wiki than me I wondered how it could be changed so that it goes to the correct Everything Must Go link for the manic that was previously there.
- Um, no. The title Everything Must Go does not redirect to Steely Dan. Someone (User:Cptchipjew I see from the page history) started that article by mentioning that there is a Steely Dan album of that title. I added, at your urging that there is also a Manic Street Preachers album of that name, which you could have done yourself. Add more if you like. If you think they should be seperate articles, you can change the links on pages that link there to something like "Everything Must Go (Manic Street Preachers)" etc as appropirate and change the "Everything Must Go" into a Wikipedia:Disambiguation page. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 16:44, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Good job on the st. louis blues move. don't quite see what all the fuss was about, especially bizarre attacks on you (you should see what your antagonist wrote on User talk:Dale Arnett). anyway, keep on wikipeding with reason and intelligence and don't let the idjits get you down. Ensiform 03:49, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Precisely, what is "all the fuss" about? Why not leave well enough alone, and return to the previous page before the Infrogmation edit war began? By the way, what is "idjits"? 24.217.211.99 06:25, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
