Welcome and thanks

I'm just spending some time this morning thanking the newer/returned people who have been doing substantial work on the wiki lately. So, thanks, nice to have you here! --Larry Sanger 09:38, 17 November 2007 (CST)

From Wikipedia box

Hello. I saw that you copied a section from the Wikipedia article to our article Lucas sequence. If you do that, please make sure that you check the "Content is from Wikipedia?" box. You can find this box between the box where you type the text and the "save page" button on the edit page. I did this for you now, but please remember it for next time. Cheers, Jitse Niesen 10:59, 25 November 2007 (CST)

Formatierung von Artikel-Listen

Hallo Karsten, guck Dir doch mal Template:Rpl an - ich denke, das koennte die Formatierungen auf Deiner Nutzerseite uebersichtlicher machen. Beispiel:

•  Prime number: A number that can be evenly divided by exactly two positive whole numbers, namely one and itself. ^[e].

Sieht prima aus. Gefällt mir --Karsten Meyer 16:08, 10 June 2008 (CDT)

templates

I noticed what you were doing on your user page and thought you might be interested in some templates that can read information from the article metadata. For example, {{WgTable}} will give the following output.

As the article status changes they automatically switch columns, however, there is a limit to the number of articles (100) that can used per template. Another possible template to use is {{Pl}}. It gives the following output where the pictograms can give a quick visual representation of an articles status:

Using commas to separate:

Legendre symbol,  Liver,  John Lennon, Los Angeles,  Lucas number,  Manchester,  Paul McCartney,  Melbourne,  Methane, Montreal,  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,  Munster

Using bullets:

•  ABBA
•  Acetone
•  Australia
• Beatles
• Chicago
•  Donkey
•  Dublin
•  Ear
•  Fermat pseudoprime

Or using hyphens to separate:

 France -  Galileo Galilei -  Germany - C. S. Lewis - Clive Staples Lewis - Lion - Snake - Tiger -  Cat -  Charles Dickens - New York City -  York -  DNA -  Dog -  Prime number -  Rottweiler -

Or finally a fuller version using the {{rpl}} that allows you to see definitions of terms, whether they are disambiguated or not and other information.

Lemmas starten

Hallo Karsten,

das geht am einfachsten, wenn Du die entsprechenden Artikelnamen zunächst per {{r}}-Template aufrufst (Muster: {{r|Clause Debussy}}). Das gibt dann:

• Claude Debussy [r]: (1862–1918) French composer. ^[e]
• Arvo Pärt‎ [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Douglas R. Hofstadter [r]: Add brief definition or description
• James Dewar [r]: Add brief definition or description

Von da aus lässt sich ganz einfach die Definition starten, und auf deren Basis dann der Lemma-Artikel. --Daniel Mietchen 14:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
