Retreat of glaciers since 1850[edit]
I noticed you may have been having problems with a few of the external links in the article. Is there anything I can do to help?--MONGO 22:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- No, it's ok, thanks. Not external links, actually, but the internal ones, the footnotes. Since I am translating it for the French Wikipedia, I discovered that two links to "cited references" did not work because their "note_label"s and their respective corresponding "ref_harv"s did not match exactly. If you test the article before my changes, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Retreat_of_glaciers_since_1850&oldid=121810954, you can see that, at end of the section "Western hemisphere", the footnotes links [Skvarca and Naruse] and [Cassasa] did not work. I had to do my fixes twice because my first fix (a renumbering) was not good. The second one (I found that actually there was a problem of uppercase/lowercase) fixed the problem. Thank you for your help. Wku2m5rr 23:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you actually. The harv style references in the article are almost unique. They automatically make the references smaller as a superscript without adding the superscript tags to each harvard style reference...I don't think this design is used in any other article on Wikipedia. In a couple months, I will be commencing an update on the information, and trying to make sure all the references still work...and I plan of seeing if there is anymore relevent data that has been published since the article became featured.--MONGO 05:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ok. Indeed, that system "harv"+"note_label" is not excellent, since there are risks of bad links or unreferenced references in case of changes in the article. Its advantage is that the links are pretty. But I did not use it in my translation. A system with all advantages (pretty superscripts + list of references by alphabetic order of the superscripts + warranty of consistency between text and list) would be great.

Speedy deletion nomination of Harmonic pedal[edit]
Hello Wku2m5rr,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Harmonic pedal for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks,
