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?

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)
