{{reflist}} vs. {{Reflist|2}} ?

Hi, I am curious about the edit you recently done on Gene Simmons you changed {{reflist}} to {{Reflist|2}} and I can't figure out what the difference is. Also, you added a message stating the correct format for references but I don't think there are any improperly referenced ones, am I missing something? Thanks J04n(talk page) 00:04, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

It will put the ref into 2 columns there is also {reflist|colwidth=30em} for 3 columns........................ Buzz............

No problem I have left a message with the person that keeps doing it ..I am not sure y he is but hopefully it will stop. Buzzzsherman (talk) 18:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

LOL you can tell who does it cool!! hopefully it will stop. Is this normal to have just small pictures?? 99.246.128.164 (talk) 18:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

AS far as i can see most pictures should be displayed so they are between 100 and 400 pixels wide. {see Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style#Images for more info)...........Lead images should usually be no wider than "upright=1.7" ("300px") (99.246.128.164) PS get a username this might help in people not editing your stuff.

image sizes

I have my default image thumbnail size set 300px, so if you set it to 250px or anything smaller, you're actually making it smaller for me that it should be. If there was some reason why these images should be a certain size (such as a map) the size should be set, but otherwise left alone. I was actually thinking that the lead image was automatically enlarged, but you're right and I was wrong, so I was overzealous in my edits. I guess I just got carried away. Sorry. I've increased the size of the map as well, so that the labels are clearer, though Image:Non-Native American Nations Control over N America 1750-2008.gif should actually be edited because the labels aren't particularly legible even at 400px. Thanks for calmly pointing out my error rather than just getting mad. I appreciate it. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 01:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

First Nations

Thanks for the compliments and the award. If it wasn't for people like you creating content then I would have little to do plus others have to tidy up what I make a mess of as well. You are not making mistakes just minor formatting errors that almost everybody makes. It's slow work going through an article to check all the links for duplicates and look for new and relevant article to add links to. You need a lot of time to be able to edit and with my job I have quite a bit. I'll take a look through First Nations starting tomorrow and looking at the size it should take 3-4 days. I don't stick up a {{tl:Inuse}} because it's not fair to other editors to be held up that long and I can easily incorporate their edits before I save. Thanks again.

First Nations peer review request

I note you have nominated this article for WP:Peer Review, although you did not provide a nom statement, nor did you enter the request on the article's talkpage (see nomination procedure on Peer Review page). I see that the article is currently a GA nomination. It is not generally a good idea to have articles simultaneously on GAN and peer review, as this can lead to confusion and conflicting advice from GA and peer reviewers. This can be especially problematic with long and complex articles. My advice would be to withdraw the PR nomination until after the GA outcome. Brianboulton (talk) 23:25, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Pre-Siberian American Aborigines

I see you'ved edited this. The more I look at this the less sense it makes as an article. Anything before Clovis is 'pre-Siberian'? I'm not sure what to do about it though, suggestions? Dougweller (talk) 06:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you RE series

Thanks for the award about the initial go at making a series template for First Nations/Aboriginal Peoples of Canada/Inui/Metis. I have a busy week end this, so perhaps can help a bit more next. Please feel free to add / modify the template during my busy time. I will try to add some more puttering. Good luck on the GA's BTW!!! I noticed that the article on Jewish people have a drop down topic list in their series template. That may be helpful for the languages section of this series template to include more of the various languages. SriMesh | talk 21:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I have a little experience with the GA process, and these articles you are tackling are pretty high priority, and it would be good to see them go through I know how it is when you are working and working on something, the little things do slip by, Kind regards and again good luckSriMesh | talk 20:35, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
