Broken ref links

I'm honestly not really sure. Perhaps the best thing to do (if a replacement link cannot be found) is to make a note of some sort indicating the former location of the reference. —[[User:ASDamick|—Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!)]] 13:29, 14 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Internet Archive

Try the Internet Archive cache, which is persistent unlike that of Google: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://saintgeorge.org/news_and_events/church_calendar/saint_of_the_day/05may/may_06_the_prophet_job.php You can then link to one of the saved copies, e.g., http://web.archive.org/web/20040621174903/http://saintgeorge.org/news_and_events/church_calendar/saint_of_the_day/05may/may_06_the_prophet_job.php

Featured article

I'm a bum, I know—I've gotten suddenly quite busy with the beginning again of classes, and so I've been negligent with working through features. Perhaps we should change the feature less often than weekly. I am rather hoping that someone else will contribute to the process, too.  :) —[[User:ASDamick|—Fr.

Ezekiel (Kilkis) of Dervis)

wow! how/where did you find his surname? i'd been looking for that for ages! many thanks! oea 22:58, 27 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Thank you!

Dear Magda, thank you for your message and invitation - I definitely do intend to stay and will create an 'about me' page as soon as I can. Right now I'm working on preparations for the exhibition of my icons from October 26-31 and I think I should first learn to use the Editor and more from/about OrthodoxWiki in order to create a page or attempt to edit anyone else's work. Thanks again for your welcoming message and care!

Good Editing

Magda, thanks for the finishing touches you and Rdr Andrew have given to my articles. Even after a couple read throughs, over a couple days, I keep finding things that need changes, additions, etc. So, I relly welcome your changes. They are always an improvement. Wsk 09:08, 21 Oct 2005 (EDT)

RE yesterday's Coolhost.biz worm attack on OrthodoxWiki by Cuca91, Kuza44 and VovaTom

Thank you for watchfulness. The following pages still contain the code and need cleaning: http://www2.orthodoxwiki.org/Special:Search?search=coolhost.biz

God Bless+

The following link might also prove helpful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy It should also be possible to know the ISP and city/country of the attackers (Cuca91, Kuza44 and VovaTom) based on their IP addresses from OrthodoxWiki server logs. I can help in this if you extract the IPs.

New attack by Tatu64 and Vera1

Please note this one too; they have introduced some apparently obscene sites as hidden code in some OW pages, e.g.,

Big Party

=-). Not sure -- any suggestions? Y'all could come over to my place in Chicago -- we could talk wiki and have some cozy hot apple cider! Fr. John

Churches in Beirut

Well, I have no idea, then. I've now been told that this church is Antiochian Orthodox, Armenian, and Maronite. Whom shall I believe? —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 11:14, November 7, 2005 (CST)

Quick q

Hey Magda, are you guys planning to stay in GOARCH? Fr. John

Is he graduating in the Spring? How big is the diocese? Maybe you'll end up in Chicago :-). Fr. John
Just 'cause I'm in Chicago. About goarch, I was just curious... Fr. John


Successions

Thanks for the tip on the Canadians. Looking through the various bishop articles I realized that the succession boxes weren't being followed consistently. That is not all the bishop's sees were being addressed. But, finding all the information can be difficult. I've been also reviewing the wanted "articles" and am finding that some of these could go away with good linking. Hopefully I can get some "corrected." Thanks again. ````

Saint commemorations

All I know is what's in the article. Sorry.  :/ —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 18:34, November 13, 2005 (CST)

Logo Contest Submissions

Dear Magda,

Please thank your friend for his (her?) logo submissions. Would you mind asking if they'd be willing to donate them, especially #2 for possible use as an OrthodoxWiki link buttons? If so, it would be great if they could send along a layered psd or png to help us scale it down or make minor adjustments as needed.

Thanks, Fr. John 14:38, November 16, 2005 (CST)

Interwiki

Hi Magda,

Just a note to say that I've added a page that viewing (and, with special permissions, editing) of the Interwiki table which manages InterWiki links. It can be viewed at Special:Interwiki (see also Help:InterWiki links. Fr. John 12:45, November 21, 2005 (CST)

Hi again, Sure we could get rid of them. Let's be slightly conservative, and e.g. keep the ones for Google. We can prune the really irrelevant ones, no problem. It definitely doesn't need to be a high priority project, but it would make it easier for us to use InterWikis effectively if there's not a lot of clutter. Thanks! Fr. John

Buzzzzz

That's a great find, Magda, thanks! And it's got an RSS feed! Fr. John

Linkbuttons

Magda, you've been discovered! Why not put these linkbuttons on the OrthodoxWiki:Link_buttons page?

P.S. I really like this picture.

Fr. John

Sure, why not? People have all kinds of different requirements for linkbuttons and banner sizes. Maybe we should think about commissioning real "banners" for OrthodoxWiki - I'm not sure which sites run these, but it's definitely worth looking into a good next step in terms of fostering a graphic identity. Fr. John

Re: Images

Hi Magda, it's probably that refresh problem I mentioned. The page has to be re-saved to show changes -- I dunno. Also, when an image is added to a category, the category listing automatically shows a thumbnail of the image. Pretty cool! Fr. John

Great work Magda! Thanks for your help on the image categorization. Fr. John 21:19, November 26, 2005 (CST)
Hi Magda, I'm processing the cat now and Images of Icons will be deleted. Wikimedia commons has tons of icons, so better they go simply in "Icons." I'm clearing house. About the other thing, I mean let's systematically work through the relevant categories on the Commons -- just write down which one(s) you've already been through so we don't repeat it, and do one at a time so we don't miss stuff. Thanks! Fr. John
Hmm... we should think this out. Maybe we could break the category down a bit into "Festal Icons". "Icons of Saints", etc. How does that sound? Otherwise just stick them into Category:Icon and we'll get to them later. We had another edit conflict on the photo gall page - that's always a joy :-) (well, really, to see that other people are actively engaged too). I'm going to bed! God bless, Fr. John
Hi Magda, no, let's not do that for now -- it's enough that their in the one category -- especially when that category is made up almost entirely of icons. — FrJohn (talk)

Ghost images

Methinks the culprit is the "&" in the name. In any event, I simply downloaded the pics, then re-uploaded them with new names and changed the article that links to the first one. The second pic doesn't seem to be being used anywhere, though if we ever do a Church of Estonia article, it may get included. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 18:44, November 26, 2005 (CST)

I'm not sure about the copyright issue, either, but I'm willing to put my money on "fair use." —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 18:53, November 26, 2005 (CST)
Regarding deleting, I "cheated" and looked at the "diff" page from User:Athpeck's list of contributions. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 18:54, November 26, 2005 (CST)
