[edit] User info page
Hi Jomegat - I finally got around to adding some personal info to my wiki profile page. Thought you might want to take a look and give me any feedbak you see fit to give.
Thanks Gerald
- Jomegat - do you use this profile for "About the Author" page or a seperate place ? If seperate - do you have an instructions for doing so ? Thanks GG (talk) 18:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

- Hi Gerald! I have a page at About the author/Jomegat that I transclude into a few honors, and at the end of my user page. To do that, just insert {{:About the author/Jomegat}} in the page. I actually transclude a BUNCH of other stuff to handle overlapping requirements (such as knots - each has its own page, and most are transcluded in multiple honors). My "about" page is written in third person, but my user page is written in first person. There's no rule about that, but it made sense to me. Is that what you were asking? --Jomegat (talk) 18:44, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sounds good - I'll have a look at a few, and then maybe add one of my own. GG (talk) 19:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Argg - Sorry to ask such a (probably silly) question. Once I've created my 'about the author' page, how do I get to it to edit it should it need updates ? Clicking 'edit' just shows me the curly brackets and the link to the template. (I think it's a template). I see I must get more wiki literate. Oh and let me know if my 'about' is too copied from yours. I was thinking a semi-standard 'about' page would be helpful to users who want to know about the person writing stuff.

- I found this in an old email..... Just highlight the reference tag with the mouse and paste it into the search box. Then hit the Go button. Lemme know if you have any more questions. This would likely answer my question but for...clearly I did something wrong - Now my "about page' is deleted. Warning: You are recreating a page that was previously deleted. You should consider whether it is appropriate to continue editing this page. The deletion log for this page is provided here for convenience: * 14:54, 2 May 2008 Mike.lifeguard (Talk | contribs) deleted "About the author/Jazzmanian" (Not textbook material

Hi Gerald,
I'll talk to Mike about that tomorrow. Just got back from camporee and I am exhausted. --Jomegat (talk) 22:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Cool - hope you had fun - we go in a couple of weeks. This morning was a car wash (fundraiser), then my band played a concert in the park. I know the exhausted feeling. :-)
[edit] Cry for help answered
Yeah that looks great on the honor of marine invertabrates. I went through the honor and simplified some of the answers.
[edit] New Pages
Thanks for the help. I think i have the new pages I want under a book now. Each has a "Telecommunications Theory\" designation int he title. Should I clean up the pages that didn't end up under this book?
- I deleted the pages that weren't properly named. – Mike.lifeguard | talk 21:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
That would be Awesome! A number of us here at Indiana university will be working on this. --Typewriter
Thanks folks! --Typewriter

[edit] Thanks
Thanks a lot brother for helping to add the Malaysia flag images and other state flags as well. I'll try to update the page time to time since I'm a bit tied up with work. I'm happy to say I just completed my Christian Citizenship Honor last week. --Darkkey (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- You're very welcome! Two of the flags didn't make it, as they were uploaded to Wikipedia instead of to the Wikimedia Commons. I will transfer them as soon as I can, and then they'll show up in the Wikibook too. Congratulations on earning the honor! I can hardly wait to read the Malaysian answers to this one! --Jomegat (talk) 00:36, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thank again bro letting me know regarding the contribution signature information. Will do as per your advice. Sorry for putting it in earlier. Can I include about author in the Christian Citizenship (Malaysia) page?
- Yes please! In fact, I encourage you to do that. Having an about the author page allows you to put a little more info about yourself without getting in the way of the general flow of the book. I love to read author biographies, but not everyone does. --Jomegat (talk) 01:09, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- One other thing! I left the answers I thought would apply to other countries in the Christian Citizenship template (the one that you substituted to create the page). If any of that does not apply to Malaysia, don't hesitate to correct it. Also, if you think it would apply in very few places outside the United States, let me know and we can remove it from the template too. --Jomegat (talk) 01:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot again bro for your suggestion. Will review it and let you know on it bro. I need one help, can I use the template that you use to create the about author page. Sorry but I'm new to wiki formatting, I still learning on this language.
- I didn't use a template for my page - I just typed it up and threw in an image. I did notice some similarities between your user page and my user page, and that's OK with me (you might want to double check that it's all accurate as it applies to you though). My user page is different from my About the Author page though - the former is less formal, and the latter is written in the third person ("he" vs "I"). Feel free to borrow any text of mine that you can use though! --Jomegat (talk) 01:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks for pointing out. Had done the correct changes in my user page. Will create an About Author page later on. Will surely get back to you if I need any help on wiki. Hope you dont mind.
- You're very welcome. I don't mind contact at all - in fact, I relish it! Thanks for your work on the project! --Jomegat (talk) 02:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Our conjugating German friends
Don't know why we didn't think to do this earlier! :D Νεοπτόλεμος ( talk | email | contribs ) 22:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yup! Hopefully that will stifle the conjugators. I actually did think of that the time before but didn't quite have the syntax down. But now at least we have a strategy! --Jomegat (talk) 00:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
