Keep up the good work!

Hey Bennylin,

Glanced at your contributions on the wiki and wanted to say keep up the good work. --Sa'ad [ talk•email•chat ] 03:20, 27 June 2008 (PDT)

Its "Shukriya" which is thanks for Urdu primarily spoken in Pakistan. "Dhannevad" is in hindi which is primarily used in India :) --Sa'ad [ talk•email•chat ] 20:52, 29 June 2008 (PDT)

Selamat datang

I spoke with my friend who grew up in Indonesia and he told me to tell you that. (I really hope it isn't something profane.) Best, Kristina (contact me) 10:46, 27 June 2008 (PDT)

articles with www

Benny,

I see you've been deleting pages starting with www in the title. What I generally do it simply redirect them. The reason I do this is that someone must have searched for them at some point, and our system doesn't seem to automatically redirect them anymore (I think it did as one point). So for example, I redirect www.ninalazina.com to NinaLazina.com. What do you think?

TedErnst (talk) 08:44, 2 July 2008 (PDT)

That's great that it's working now. I still think it's not a good idea to delete those pages, in case it stops working at some point in the future, or in case someone makes a link to the www version. Just redirect it to the right one, methinks. What do you think?

I think maybe I need to be more clear. I think it's a bad idea to delete the www version. I think the redirects should be there. What happens if you click this red link now? www.ninalazina.com - I think a redirect is more elegant, causing users to get what they would expect. I see no benefit to deleting the redirects. Help me understand your point of view? TedErnst (talk) 21:29, 3 July 2008 (PDT)

Yes, they are often duplicate content. That is exactly the situation where I replace the entire page with a redirect. I proposed to dev a solution long ago, with no action. I think they are probably busy enough that this will not make their list. But we can make things easier for users by turning those extra pages into redirects. Sorry I wasn't clear earlier!

How is your summer so far, in general? TedErnst (talk) 14:30, 7 July 2008 (PDT)

"AboutUs.org" OPML search feed.

OPML is a format for collecting RSS feeds into a group. Curt Hopkins is a blogger that did some work for us. I'm not sure how he used that page, but it's fine to leave it alone, methinks. TedErnst (talk) 08:21, 3 July 2008 (PDT)

Template Tables

Bottled Water Shopping Cart

You're awesome!

Thx for fixing this. The code on Delete page had totally exploded and you fixed it! --Sa'ad [ talk•email•chat ] 10:18, 9 July 2008 (PDT)

Just saw you adding Category:AboutUs:Templates to the {{PullQuote}} Templates. Great! Asad | *~talk~* 22:01, 9 July 2008 (PDT)

pages you asked about

All 5 of them are okay. The first 4 are very strange. They kept showing up in our high traffic pages for some reason, so we put the video on them and can just leave them alone. Unless you can think of better content to put on them. I'd love to hear ideas.

The ChicagoCoop one is mine. It's part of an experiment of sorts. I've been trying for a long time to migrate the entire chicagocoop.net wiki here, because I cannot keep up with the spam. I haven't had the energy to to get it done.

Hope this helps! TedErnst (talk) 14:37, 11 July 2008 (PDT)

Re: About Category

Hi Benny, the subpages for 12Listen.com and 12Angel.com (e.g. 12Angel.com/Anita Ahuja ) are Deluxe AboutUs Articles and will be spotlighted individually, so we need to include Category:AboutUsSpotlighted in these articles as the pages in this category are Followed . You are doing amazing work and I really like some of your ideas on RedirectCategory. Looking forward to our future collaboration. Have a wonderful day! Best, Obed Suhail 05:38, 12 July 2008 (PDT)

your personal page

Benny, Care to make reference to your AboutUs gig on your personal page? And maybe people could contact you using this talk page rather than your Wikipedia talk page, at least for the summer? Just thoughts. TedErnst (talk) 15:30, 13 July 2008 (PDT)

reformat {{SubDomainTestBox}}?

Care to reformat to make it horizontal like the {{Domain Page}}? TedErnst (talk) 13:04, 17 July 2008 (PDT)

Deleting testingtheerroron12listen.com

Yes, you can delete that page. I just made it for testing an error on that page. Laiq

toolbar?

You asked about changing the toolbar. I'm not sure what you mean. Say more? TedErnst (talk) 15:31, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

story for tracker

Yes, please send me the story and I'll add it for you.

TedErnst (talk) 11:17, 30 July 2008 (PDT)

Edit toolbar

Yes, Benny, it is somewhat editable. The whole thing, if I remember correctly, is a bit of a mess right now; all the moves away from Mediawiki have left some ugly code. What type of changes were you thinking about? -Vinh Nguyen

article delete ?

Hi, I saw that the article I had written for my site several months back is missing today and saw your name next to it. Was it deleted ? if so, why ? MalayalaSangeetham.info

Portrait update link

Hey Benny, Your portrait does not show on pages that you have edited, might be worth re-uploading it through this: http://www.aboutus.org/Special/user/manage_portrait

moving pages problem

Hi Benny - This is a problem because they have moved a domain page around several times, just pointing out for you to catch another time. Best, MarkDilley

Curious

Hi Benny, what does this do? Best, MarkDilley

SD template

Hi Benny,

The links to domain tools, builtwith and compete doen't seem to make sense in subdomains, and there seems to be no way to have a logo with this template. Also, the Add Subdomain template shows people how to have the different sections of the page and we seem to be losing that with {{SD}}. One other thought, using a full name for a template makes it easier for people to learn have it is and how to use it. Like {{SubDomainPage}} or something like that. What do you think?
