I had a cust this morning with the same problem. we haven't findured out what it is yet but I told him to use Firefox which is really a better brouser anyway. Let me know on my talk it you actually figure out what caused it thoughCavebear42 19:16, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I've been having the same problem. If someone gives you a real answer, could you post it back to WP:VP for the rest of us? TNX. -- Jmabel 19:27, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
That MS Knowledge base article sounds like a good match, but I get this problem too and it's a bit more general than MS make out. I'm using IE5.0, IE6 and Mozilla under Win98SE. Any resource shortage seems to produce this result with IE any version, not just page cache problems.
My workaround is to run MS-Word whenever I'm using IE and want to be able to save pages or images. Word is a real resource hog, and if I get into the position of being unable to save a page I want, I can then quit Word and usually free up enough resources to do the save. Now, this IMO brings on the problem earlier, so all I'm winning is a warning. But it means I'm never in the position of writing down the URLs on a scrap of paper because I can't even cut and paste them to notepad!
After getting into this position I always reload Windows. This is probably specific to Win98SE which suffers the worst memory bleed problems of any MS OS to date (but this is its only real vice and I like it despite this).
Hope this helps. I haven't tried Firefox, actually I'm a bit disappointed in Wikipedia for forcing me to Mozilla, but Wikipedia's support of IE is just appallingly bad. Andrewa 09:36, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I haven't followed all the ins and outs of the micronation debates. I notice that you've participated in the Talk:Micronation page, and I know you to be a very capable contributor from your work on W. D. Hamilton, so I thought I would mention this to you in case you hadn't seen it: Someone just created an article on the micronation TorHavn. Having said that, I shamelessly act the coward and duck out of any ensuing micronation debates. :) JamesMLane 21:24, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I didn't think you were being "nasty" in the slightest, but you have misunderstood my involvement. I'm not a proponent of keeping the TorHavn article. I don't plan to work on the article or provide evidence of notability. As far as I'm concerned, a redirect is fine, although it appears that Micronation can't currently be edited to include even a mention or listing of this one. The various disputes arising from the U.S. presidential election are taking enough of my energy that I have no interest in getting involved with any micronations. I just happened to notice the new TorHavn article and figured I'd pass it on. JamesMLane 03:00, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Seem as about 97% of rail mileage in the UK is in mainland Britain would it not be far more sensible to move the "Rail transport in Great Britain" back to "Rail transport in the UK" and have a link to Northern Ireland.

In Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Tran_Van_Ba I've suggested that you rewrite your opening paragraph to say:
That is, I think you should state his claim, however silly it may be, correctly and respectfully, rather than by mocking it as "His Excellency the Imperial Dragon of Ping Pong (or whatever it was)"
Please don't construe this as an endorsement of the Tran Van Ba article (which I voted to delete as autobiography). It seems fully VfD-worthy to me. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 00:22, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I've added my certification to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Tran Van Ba and added a lot of supporting descriptions and evidence. (Hey, don't you have to certify it too?) As I wrote, I don't think the question "should these articles about Asian aristocrats have been added" is really the important issue - though it appears to be the only issue Mr. Tran is interested in addressing - but there's plenty more there to be criticized. ←Hob 05:16, 2004 Sep 13 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your recent suggestions concerning historic micronations.

Finally I got a photo that I hope will suffice as you requested for artificial selection. Neither dog is furry, however. I suggest that if you want to keep 2 additional photos showing more variation that you replace the existing poodle & dachshund with, for example, Image:Bearded Collie 600.jpg and Image:MiniDachshund1 wb.jpg, or you can pick some to your own liking from Wikipedia:List_of_images/Nature/Animals/Dogs.

Hello, I see what you posted my article on Johannesburg history as copyright infringed. It is possible to use this text according to the website you posted, and I intend to post the link to the page when I was done. I still have the edit page open in another window, so could you please unblock it so that I can follow the requirements set on that website to use the text?
Yes, I quote from the website:
Permission to use web site material Publishers are free to use material from this site, as long as:
Credit is given to the Johannesburg News Agency;
A link is provided to www.joburg.org.za;
The webmaster is informed of how and where the material is used.

I've already sent the e-mails ... Just had to put the links in.
I'm not sure what there is to be not sure about. It says quite clearly that as long as credit is given (which it would be as soon as I can edit that page again), publishers are "free to use material from this site." Perhaps you could explain to me your hesitancy.
I have a question about this Flag of South Vietnam & Nguyen Dynasty oddly, a duplicate of Flag of South Korea what do you mean about this, when you wrote it in Talk.tran van ba ? Jimmyvanthach 22:08, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
well, I have your reply and I know what you are talking about now, but there is now reason to make a personal attack on me, ok. or anyone else, and why are you using term after student professor ? I was not aware of the rules and regulations guides when i submitted the articles to Tran Van Ba so now I am helping him, since being on here, I myself have kept with the guidlines and corrected NON_NEUTRAl statements, ie. human rights, fight for democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of etc. I understand your viewpoint and the reasons why there was a lost in translation from Tran Van Ba concerning this issue, beucase he thought you were attacking him, which was not that, it was becuase of Wikipedia policy of nuetral standpoint. I am not here to cause problems, and if you want to help I would more than glad to work with you. thanks again Jimmyvanthach 22:22, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

For those still interested in this VERY FRUSTRATING case, please note that the matter has moved to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jimmyvanthach, and further evidence/discussion belongs on the Evidence and talk pages there.

I will notifiy Dr. Lindgren and Tran Van Ba of the misunderstanding and apologize, Futhermore I will send a personal message via Jimbo's mail too.
Concerning your questions Vietnamese order I personally have a University History Degree, majoring specifically Asian History of Southeast Asia, The Nguyen Dynasty is a very important role in the Vietnamese History which with how the history afterwards unfolded with the involvement of France, Japan, United States, South Korea, Australia.
The concerns of my personal feelings is that the Nguyen Dynasty has been a pivotal player in Vietnamese Tradition and politics and it has never ended after the abdication, the role of the Emperor ended concerning the political aspects but the Royal House of Vietnam was and still is active.
I am aware specifically of the NPOV aspects and you will not see Human Rights, Freedom of Speech words from my posts or Input. I am aware of the statements which are acceptable from Wikipedia standards. Jimmyvanthach 13:22, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hi - i noticed you changed the DMU headings. A couple of points
1) DEMUs do NOT operate off an electric supply (e.g. 750V as you suggested for classes 201-207) - they have electric transmission (as opposed to mechanical or hydraulic) and ALWAYS use their diesel engines to move.
2) Classes 165 onwards are not sprinters. 165/66 are Turbos, 168 are Clubmans, 170/171 are Turbostars, 175 are Coradias, 180 are Adenlantes.

Thanks, I completely understand. I take a different view on it, that one doesn't require all the information in the world in an Encyclopedia, but, I should provide general information about an organization. I am not insulted, and I overthought my own skils organizationally. Do not worry, if I was insulted, I would have asked you to come over here so I could bite your legs off. I see things, like the rather stable structure of a University (Columbia just added minors, and multicultrual majors) as something to be documented, because the main units of it are well organized, and stable over time, as in there hasn't been a real new "subject" beyond science, history, social science, math, government, law, health, economics, business, engineering, art, and music in the last 100 years, just the slow change that these separate subjects listed above are leaving their Ivory Towers, and actually making interdisciplinary connections. As for the page itself, I can little argue it is lacking for content. I am acutally looking to nominate the main Columbia University page, I will try to argue its case, but my main point is to try to make people understand that the institutions of learning are as an important part of our history as the knowledge they produce. There are little bits, little pieces of information, that get lost as the universities continue to grow, such as the first cyclotron to split the atom sitting under the basement of Pupin Labs of Columbia University, or the abandoned University Hall, that would have hailed many of the limitations and also many of the postiives of the "megastructures" that would come years afterward. This is only just one school. So, I now go to nominate Columbia University, expressing these wishes along the way.

If I were a Catholic, and I had written the Human article along the lines of a Catholic Bible Dictionary entry (not at all far fetched 500 years ago), and you were suggesting that my article needed to be turned into a mere section of a larger NPOV Human article representing all "knowledge", what would you think if I responded thusly to a suggestion that the Catholic Bible entry remain at the top?
Could you explain your revert (and rv as per the results of poll on talk page) on Talk:Human please? You would seem to fly in the face of the facts, otherwise. I admit that the poll result is not overwhelmingly clear, but it is certainly not in your favour, either.

Just in case you were wondering about the Shipston-on-Stour thing, this is part of a long running saga.
User:80.255 is obsessed with editing articles about places and refering to places in their historic counties, instead of their present day administrative counties, so for instance he kept insisting that Birmingham is in Warwickshire instead of the West Midlands, even though no-one else uses them. He also doesn't take no for an answer and keeps reverting to his own version until he gets his own way, nearly every article he's touched has ended up being protected.
We had a big saga with this last year, and we eventually agreed a policy at Wikipedia: Naming conventions (places), which stated that present day administrative counties should be used for geographic reference, and historic ones should be refered to in a historic context. But now he seems to be ignoring this at the Shipston article. Just thought I'd let you know.
You should look at wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (places) and User talk:80.255 for more details. Cheers G-Man

You might have an opinion regarding Wikipedia:Votes_for_undeletion#Tran_Van_Ba. The article was re-created by Jimmyvanthach. I speedy-deleted it on the basis that it was a re-creation of an article that had been properly deleted via VfD.
Jimmyvanthach objected, saying that the reason for deletion was that it was autobiography (the previous article had been created by User:Tran Van Ba), so since the new article was written by Jimmyvanthach that reason for deletion didn't apply. I couldn't find the old VfD discussion, by the way. It seems I don't know how or where to look for them.
I told him to raise the matter in Votes for Undeletion, and since he said he wasn't sure how I listed it there myself. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 20:37, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
