Static presentation on the Wiki
Hi Dsammy,

Back in March you asked about a static presentation on the Wiki. Since then you are probably aware of the one we have, but you can find them by searching for the word "Teach" in the Wiki search box. It should be the first result, but if you can't find it, here is the link to the teaching aids page. nixiao 21:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

What's your best work? And your favorites from others?
Hey there! I'm searching for the wiki's best content to highlight it during a presentation I'm doing soon. Will you link me to the 2 or 3 articles you've contributed to that you are most pleased with? Also, could you link me to your favorite article(s) written by others? Thanks!

What is the purpose of categories with pipes?
On the Germany Handwriting page there are two categories with pipes in them. What purpose does putting pipes in a category serve? If you didn't do this, can you tell who did, or what they were trying to accomplish? I'm just trying to figure out what the significance of this is. Diltsgd 02:33, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Big difference! Are you trying to lump everything under "G" for Germany regardless of subject?

You want Probate? Go to "P" in Germany's category. You want Civil Registration? Go to "C" in Germany's category. You want Emigration and Immigration? Go to "E" in Germany's category. It's that simple. Otherwise everything will be lumped under "G" for Germany. It's ridiculous. Baerbel understood. England's team is doing that, too.

And the separatedcategory "Word List" was listed on that page so pipelined it.
