Hi Brian -

I don''t mind in the least. But I have a question for you.
Wikipedia''s
Help Desk says that to change the title of an article, you need to move
it. And they further say, wait four days after article creation to move
the article with its new (or fixed) name. So I was waiting.

Did you do anything other than moving the article to the correct name?
If so, tell me so I know what to do if this happens again. If not, well,
if you don''t tell Wikipedia that less than four days has elapsed, well
I
won''t either :).

- Steff

the headline at the beginning of the article source text. Instead, you create
the title through one of the Wikipedia templates. To change the title, you
actually have to move the page. Not a big deal, however...you have to wait four
days after you create the page before you can move it to fix a title.

>> Ugh. So sorry folks, if you want to read my article, it is still
"OpenSolaris Network Virtualization and Research Control" and
unfortunately must remain so until I come back from vacation. (When I leave for
vacation, only three days would have passed since posting the article.)

not a correction by a Wikipedia editor. That has happened to people,
evidentally.
