Please ignore Mais oui! He is well known for making sock puppet allegations as one of his methods of attack. His so-called "evidence" ignores the facts of broadband provision to Orkney. Mais oui! has been instrumental in destroying both the [[Orcadian Wikipedians' Notice Board]] and the [[Orkney Portal]]. He has constantly made destructive edits to Orkney articles and has attacked Orcadian contributors. We cannot defend ourselves against his barrage. (He often makes around 100 edits a day - look at his contributions record [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Mais_oui!]!) Consequently we have decided that our time and effort would be better employed on an independent Orkney wiki. If you wish to contribute here on Wikipedia, good luck to you! Maybe you would like to be one of our first contributors - where your time and effort won't be wasted. |

Good to have you aboard
Happy editing! Kukini 16:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Good article on hand evaluation
I like it, looks pretty good already. It's certainly comprehensive enough that it no longer counts as a stub! Hyperman 42 02:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Bridge articles
Hi Abtract, and welcome! Thanks for your valuable contributions to contract bridge articles; since there are already several of us that work on the subject, we might as well make a Wikiproject. You may find a list of bridge TODO-s on User:Duja/Bridge; feel free to ammend the list/create the articles. I like your article of Hand evaluation.
Since you're a new user, I'd also like to provide a few editing hints:
- Please use "Show preview" button more often than "Save page"; it's difficult for other editors to track 20-30 consecutive edits if they want to check your changes.
- Please check what the links point to. Stuff like void or grand slam lead to disambiguation or unrelated pages; it's undesirable to link to a disambiguation page. In most articles, we inserted {{bridgenote}} at the top, pointing the unfamiliar users to the terminology page. In general, "trivial" or "dictionary" stuff should have a Contract bridge glossary entry rather than a separate article.
- I see you already discovered how to create redirects. In that case, feel free to delete the remainder of the page and merge its valuable contents (if any) to the redirected-to article. (Frankly, I didn't know about {{R with possibilities}} }} but it's good that you used it).
- I see you're well equipped with literature and that you Cite your sources. The preferred method of implementation of references/footnotes is described in Wikipedia:Footnotes.

Redirects
On 14-May, you created a "soft" redirect from HCP to High card point. You should do a real redirect in cases like this. The instructions for how are at Wikipedia:Redirect. I've fixed this one, but if you need help in the future, let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks but I intended the redirect to end at Hand evaluation which it only does with another "press of a button"; is that what you mean by a soft redirect? Either way thanks and I will sort it out.Abtract 07:11, 18 May 2006
- (UTC)I have tried adding "&redirect=no" to gain access to HCP but it doesn't work... what am I doing wrong? I used this exact form "HCP%redirect=no" Abtract 07:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- By soft redirect, I meant you had "see High card point" as the contents vs. an actual redirect. I didn't catch that it was a double redirect (which won't work), but have fixed it. While "&redirect=no" is correct, it doesn't work with the "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCP" format of the URL, but with the "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HCP" format. The easiest way to access a redirect is to access it normally and then when you get sent to the target page, there will be a "(Redirected from <redirect title>)" at the very top. Click on the <redirect title> and it will take you to the redirect. If that isn't clear enough, let me know. -- JLaTondre 12:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
In reply to your message on my talk page: "[...]I appreciate all the help I can get ... in particular you didn't notice that my references do not work; I think I have done everything according to the advice but it still won't do as it should ........ can you help? thanks again.", you are correct, I had not noticed that the references were not working. I find that references and footnotes are strange beasts. For the time being, I have converted your references to in-line external links. You might want to look at the Wikpedia Footnotes page WP:FN for guidance. — Grstain 12:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC) Thanks I will. There is more to this editing lark than meets the eye!

Crossruff
Please comment on Talk:Ruff (cards) about the merging of Crossruff. I disagree with that. Thanks, Duja 08:28, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Please stop merging everything without concensus. One should be bold, but you're overdoing it -- we shouldn't end up with 10 contract bridge articles, each 10,000 lines long, and you started merging quite unrelated things. I hardly fought over keeping Coup en passant separate from Finesse and you're now merging it to Ruff (cards). I'm reverting it. Duja 09:27, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Contract bridge
Hi. You might be interested in participating in new Wikipedia:WikiProject Contract bridge. Regards, Duja 10:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Wrigley twins
- Hey, Abtract -- welcome to Wikipedia! You asked how I found your Wrigley twins article so quickly -- I do New Page Patrol whenever I can, and have been focusing on stubbing articles so that if the author doesn't have a chance to get back to them, someone else interested in the topic may. Feel free to ask questions on my Talk page if there's anything else I can help you with :) Bookgrrl 20:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Orkney
Hi, if you want to rename an article, could you please use WP:RM instead of copy-pasting the content? Otherwise we lose a part of the page history. Thanks, RexNL 20:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- if I knew how I would have, it's proving harder than I thought. I will look up the link u suggest . Apologies. Abtract 20:37, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
