[edit] WB:SPEEDY

I deleted that page as it falls under the speedy deletion policy. I think the link in the print version must be incorrect, since I can't see it linked or transcluded either.  — Mike.lifeguard | talk 22:24, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the help...

Great work helping to complete the C Standard Library of the C++ Programming book, I was using (and requested permission for it) the content of http://www.cppreference.com/ now wikified as http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/ (but still missing some of the old content, check the web.archive). Thanks also for preserving and using the same format of all the content already copied... --Panic (talk) 22:16, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification on JavaScript/Operators and Expressions

Hi Sigma,

I've noticed you hard work on tagging pages. Before deleting it, I wanted to ask you whether JavaScript/Operators and Expressions had actually been merged, or is just similar or redundant? If there's been a merge, we should merge the page histories. Cheers, --Swift (talk) 06:29, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I did take some content from that page earlier to fill in some gaps within JavaScript/Operators (although I discovered that I missed a few.) If you feel a history merge is appropriate, go for it. --Sigma 7 (talk) 17:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Done. I've left the redirect, even though it isn't used in the book, because there might be external links to it. I'll leave it to you to decide if it's still be useful. --Swift (talk) 01:48, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Query notices

Oh, one more thing: Maybe you usually do and I just happened to notice the one time it slipped your mind, but when tagging pages with the {{query}} template, please consider notifying the users with the markup provided on the tag. Since {{query}} is for pages where it's unclear whether they would grow into a keep or delete, it would help ease the minds of those deleting the page if reasonable attempts to notify the contributor have been made. New users don't necessarily use their watch-list and might have just gotten side-tracked reading up on Wikibooks, forgetting their new creation. --Swift (talk) 06:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] C++ Programming/Operators Table

Can it be improved? If not the old version seems better (less color and boxes), some lines would be fine but that would require a major reshuffle of the data... --Panic (talk) 06:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The main issue I found with the table was that there were separate rows for effectively the same operator. I think I got mose of those.
With table formatting, I feel it's sometimes better to 'contain' a table inside of a border, since it indicates that it is it's own segment within a piece of text, and seems to be a standard method of setting up some tables (in this case, it uses the wikitable class.) I have two comparision revisions [1][2], which use original and modified formatting respectively; the newer one feels a bit more structured in my opinion. (It's also a bit smaller, which is odd since the markup indicates there should be cellspacing of 5.) --Sigma 7 (talk) 03:25, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Yup that was basically why I prefer the old view [3] it is easier to read (and to print even if it gets broken across pages, it could be improved with some lines as I said above) and doesn't place to much emphasis on what type of operator it is, this sort of list is useful to check for a specific operator not a type (probably removing the color tabs on the middle of the table and use bold letterings)...
Well that is my opinion. Consider what I said and how people will use it. I'm a firm adherent to "less is more..." on content/visual aids if the purpose can be similarly satisfied. In this case it got flashier but removed some usability. --Panic (talk) 04:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Foundations of Edu. and Instructional Assessment

Hello Signma 7,

I am an instructor for the course that builds this book each semester. I noticed that you undid and edit by one of our students, who removed all of her content from the page Foundations of Education and Instructional Assessment/Edition 4/Foundations Table of Contents/Chapter 7/7.1.4. I am sure that you have no ill intentions. This book is written and constructed by students in our course. Sometimes they remove information because they are learning and not as familiar with the wikibook process. This student decided to write on a new topic and so deleted her work on this page. In the future could you please contact me if you have a question regarding our book. Thank you very much for your assistance. Jkauf007 (talk) 15:37, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Rollbacker

Hi Sigma 7,

I made you a rollbacker and threw in patroller for good measure. If you don't want patroller, I can undo that for you. --Jomegat (talk) 20:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] How to use a Bullworker

Hello. I noticed you tagged the work as potentially copyright. Could you help me out in finding out what the license is, please? I've just pinged GFK's forums, just have to wait for an activation e-mail.--Launchballer (talk) 15:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC) Requested copyright here--Launchballer (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
