847:. I inserted them because I felt that in the last version of the Knowledge they made the subsequent line easier to read (and obviously I had not read the appropriate style article). Since with the new version a horizontal dividing line and a carriage return are automatically inserted, my objection is now moot. 482:
I think it's a very good idea to make this semantic distinction, but I don't feel particularly strongly about it in any practical sense. I am aware that when these codes are rendered as a PNG they often look ugly, but that is a problem with the math engine and is noted on the feature requests page.

Firstly, the directive to "see also" means almost exactly the same as "related articles". There is no real logical difference of using "related articles", other than the fact that some find the use of "related articles" to work around the restriction that articles linked inline in the text should not

Sorry if I'm not posting properly. Firstly I want to thank you for your nice message and for reverting my mistake. The reason why I want to move "Mandrake Linux" to "Mandrakelinux" is that MandrakeSoft has changed the name of the distribution to "Mandrakelinux" for legal reasons. I was about to add a

Thank you for offering to help. I am trying to move the entry "Mandrake Linux" to "Mandrakelinux" (its new name) but the move is refused because a "Mandrakelinux" entry already exists (it's a redirect to "Mandrake Linux"). If you could please make the move and then change "Mandrake Linux" to redirect

page that put back a line that I took out. I removed the line "This is generally not the case; exclusively lesbian women are not interested in having sex with men." because while I believe it is true, it is not really relevent to the section (Pornography and male preconceptions about lesbians) where

but I need the the page history moving which I am unsure how to do. You would then see that I didn't originate the article, but there were many links to the differently named pages which is why I tried to tidy up all links to the correctly titled page. Could you possibly move the page history from

Hi Dysprosia, is this how I comment here? I hope I don't delete your page or something but this seemed to be the way to do it. Anyway, thanks for the welcome. I've been browsing Knowledge for ages (mostly as a way to actively procrastinate) and decided I could contribute something. And you got it

for the first time. It says there "See also", "Related topics" and "Related articles" are all considered valid. If you say "See also" is used more often I will use this heading in future articles. But it should be made clear in the style manual that this heading (for internal links) is preferred.

Sydney isn't a suburb - it's a city. I think you're referring to the Sydney CBD or what americans would call the downtown, or what I'd call the 'city'. It does have a postcode, but can't be accurately referred to as a suburb. Mainly because it's definining characteristic is that it's a mercantile

is the first time iv'e used "talk". thanks for saying how good my article on 'william does his bit" was. about the formal writing tip, the reason i dont do it so formal, is because that usually i like to take my own time to complete a page, and i add bit by bit, then clean it up. usually others

my dear fellow, it is most awful that it is me that has to bring this about, but on cityrail maps the terminal stations do not have the word terminal in the name. only domestic and international. please correct me if i looked at an historical map, but i still believe the point i pointed out
741:
You're probably right, though I needed to word as such temporarily it so to make it completely clear that you were talking about the names of the train stations, otherwise the sentence is not clear. I'll ensure the correct name now. Thanks for pointing it out (to this dear lady, btw ;)
116:
I did miss the "mistaken" addition, I'm sorry. But perhaps it serves to underscore that the point that the view is mistaken is a bit "lost". And I do agree with you that the sentence as it stands is a little tautological, so I'm going to change it to just "this is not generally the

Hi Dysprosia, I saw that you left a Tip on my talk page regarding writing full sentences to describe an album, but I am unclear whether your advice was for a specific article that you have noticed. It may be that you have noticed an edit that I have made to a page from the list

Aha that's handy now it's on my talk page so next time I don't know how to edit a redirect I will have that there and i don't need to search through ten FAQ pages. Thanx for you exceedingly fast help :-D Knowledge really rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was listed as a speedy deletion. The article's not encyclopedic. We don't deal in minor topics such as schoolkid games. If you feel strongly about it, I can undelete and put it on Votes for Deletion, but I doubt you'll get a favorable response.
781:
It's okay, I don't mind fixing it if need be. Problem is, "trees" don't cover precisely mathematics, nor computer science. Actually, in retrospect that was rather stupidly short sighted of me. Let me try and fix it. Give me a bit :)
203:
Thank you. I didn't actually write the article "A Separate Peace" (I had to think why you wrote me about that), but there was so much that needed typesetting and wikification that I missed it. God bless you, and have a great day!
403:
In the article concerned, none of the links in the "Related articles" section were linked inline, so, in the interests of maintaining consistency ("see also" is far more common in articles than "related articles"), it was changed.
471:
I only did it once. There may be a minor problem in that with some settings the 2^n will always render as a PNG which will look ugly, but it's not such a big deal. If you feel strongly about it, by all means, continue to use it.

centre (financial and sales), rather than a popluated area (which it is these days, too). Suburbs such as Surry Hills or Ultimo impinge upon it, and may soon become part of it, but for the moment they're a different animal.

Greetings and felicitations. Just a heads up—I intent to be editing the various H articles in the next hour or two to correct the title capitalizations, so you might want to hold off on editing them for a few hours. ^_^

thanks for the help. I just updated that page to test it and was about to revert till you caught it. I didnt think anyone would've viewed it within the 1 minute that the change was there. No harm intended.
535:
Well, I had just edited the article, and was probably interested in what the anon added. I may have watched it, I can't remember. If you watch articles they stick out more in RC (they're in bold).
190:
Thanks for the movement and clean-up of several articals I've edited and/or written. I'm starting to rely on you cleaning up things I miss, so I guess I should at least wave and smile once :)

But is the way that lesbianism is viewed by heterosexual men really all that positive. For most straight men I know it's something of a sex fantasy. This is not positive in my book... --

it was contained. I also think that it is an old sterotype, and to most people it is pretty obvious. It would be like saying "Vegans are not interested in eating meat".

In my other articles I always use "Related articles" to indice internal links. I f you have any better suggestion aside from "See also" I would be glad to hear it.
268: 428:
The actual use of "related *" is being discussed. It appears that the use of categories in the next software version may make the use of those headers redundant.
437:
I just skimmed the discussion. Seems to complicated for me. If you say "See also" is used more often I believe you and will use the heading in the future.

It didn't work :/ The software should show articles in subcategories on the parent category's page, which is important, but I won't do that any more.

I'm also not sure if the Rocks counts as a suburb, rather than an area of the CBD like Chinatown.

Nonetheless, I'd hate to go back and forth on the Rocks page, so I leave it to your judgement.
