Thanks for your comment Regarding proper citations and verifiability I m having another debate at Talk List of Jewish jurists would you mind taking a look Thanks Footnotes No policy just personal preference In this instance I was mainly annoyed because when I came in a while back the spacing was all over the place So I harmonized it to no space and after punctuation then suddenly the lead wasn t harmonized and that ticked me off D Anyway my logic is to keep footnotes as unobtrusive to the text as possible However if I see a page with spacing I won t change it so long as its consistent if it ain t I go in and the spacing don t know what hit it If there were a wikipolicy I would likely follow publishing guidelines dunno what else to tell ya accept keep up the good stuff DOM Arbitration Hi SV just in case you didn t know our case for arbitration got accepted I saw that you were involved with another arbitration case Good luck with that Mylo Carbia Hi SlimVirgin I love your user name I really can t remember how I ran into her name I think somebody posted it in the List of Puerto Ricans without writing an article After seeing what was written about her in different websites including her own I assumed good faith on her behave and wrote the article on information recopilated However I do agree with the point of views posted and if the article was posted for AfD I would like to know because I would be more then willing to vote for its deletion Your friend in Wiki Lord Goldsmith I m delighted to hear that the SlimVirgin now prizes good faith above all Please see my e mails and read the talk page and edit history of the List of Jewish jurists Please reply by e mail Email Please check your email Replied Thanks Brandon Hey Slim I appreciate the message on his page Good to see you re looking out for me and vice versa However it s cool I m happy to respond to Brandon and explain my position on things He s getting borderline abusive but it s cool I can take this He s upset about the existence of the article and I think that s understandable If Brandon gets highly abusive I ll stop responding Re Unicodify Hi Slim yeah I m pretty sure I m maintaining the em en dash distinction I ve got a small Python script I pass the stuff I edit through that does things like turn safe HTML entities into UTF 8 and random other bits and pieces don t worry I watch the output fairly carefully Another wikipedia user asked me about my mdash ndash conversion a few days ago and pointed me at Wikipedia Manual of Style 28dashes 29 In it it says Use the HTML entity not the numeric form see below or type it in directly if your keyboard allows it so I guess UTF 8 is OK If you think it is a problem I can easily special case it in my script Let me know UTF 8 characters have a few things going for them vs HTML entities They look nicer in the edit window you see actual characters as opposed to markup They re a more compact representation in terms of storage this is especially true of Latin 1 entities like They re a small step towards making life easier on 3rd party apps that deal with raw wikicode ideally you wouldn t need a full HTML parser to be able to interpret wikicode That said if it s frowned upon or if converting things like is regarded as too much needless churn then I can easily stop doing it Cheers Judeofascism There has never been a vote on deleting the redirect only on deleting whatever was in the article The term is now mentioned on List of political epithets and thus there should be a redirect there If you feel otherwise the correct place to discus
