Where we want to shove text edit

On the rare occasions where we want move text from one page to another, we would generally look to use <includeonly></includeonly> and <noinclude></noinclude> pairs on respective pages, as per here. You are doing a great job of proofreading. billinghurst sDrewth 12:47, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

{{Gap}} size edit

Just to let you know—for it might save you some work (even if copy/pasting) in the future... A single {{gap}} size is equal to 2em, and you needn't type out {{gap|2em}}. Londonjackbooks (talk) 22:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Anathaniel , one rule line or two rule lines ? edit

Anathaniel, do you plan to place a double rule on all previous and following pages that show the page numbers? I have placed a single rule on many, if not most of the pages. Either way is fine but the book shows one and should look show them all the same way from page to page. Kindest regards, —Maury (talk) 19:45, 4 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

how to align images ? edit

Anathaniel, one way to align the three images is shown on wikipedia Matthew Fontaine Maury. Some are on the right and at least one is on the left. So, we can use left, center, and right commands which gives 1,2,3. (Use the edit to see how they are done). Text is next added at the bottom of each of those and made small. Another way would be to put the three images back together (I think they were in a row) and re-upload as one larger image composed of the 3 which can still be any size including small, and then place text to the left, center, middle. This is all I know about it but others here are smarter with different methods. Kind regards, —Maury (talk) 20:47, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I am getting too old! The url is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Fontaine_Maury

I have changed the center image to show all three men as original in book but it needs text work that I do not know how to do. Can you handle it? Kind regards, —Maury (talk) 21:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Global account edit

Hi Anathaniel! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, DerHexer (talk) 18:00, 14 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
