Note to self

I do not understand the meaning or the fundamental background of your words, or If I do, I stand in shock and disbelief Ilyanep (Talk) 17:13, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sandbox

You said in your edit subject 'rv all this vandalism' but it was the sandbox. It's not vandalism to test edits. I did not make a personal attack. Email thegolem@tesco.net for a discussion about it.

Sorry, but I meant that some anonymous users had deleted the {{sandbox}} message and also created an unusally long one-line string of 'y's, which was hard to clean up, and I had to go at least 5 revisions back (more) to delete all that and add the notice back. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused. Ilyanep (Talk) 18:22, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hello. Sorry that was impolite of me to make a comment like that on a public page. I've deleted that bit. Um, yes, it is basically just the tables. Some of the text floats over the borders you've got and, in some instances, this means that you've got two layers of text overlapping making it very hard to read.

So, on the front tab Ilyanep's page the some more stuff box runs entirely over some quotes. It does look quite bad. I'm using IE6.0.2800 and a relatively small by today's standards, 17inch monitor.

At any rate, I've you to blame for the ridiculous signature I've ended up with, since you sent me off on a trail of user page investigation, some of which taught me tips I've now abused to create this carbuncle --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod (TALKQuietly)]] 05:34, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, it's okay about the comment on the public page, I don't mind. I took a look at it in IE and it looked fine. I'm using a 17 inch monitor at 1152x768 resolution. I'll try to make it look okay in 1024x640 or whatever that resolution is. Ilyanep (Talk) 16:45, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

OK, I'm at 1024x768. Let me know if you want to have a look at it in the future. Regards --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod ......TALKQuietly)]] 23:53, Jul 28, 2004 (UTC)

Misspellings

Just a quick note from a perfectionist: on your user page, "male" is not capitalized, and you may want to have a look at the "Note to self" section of your talk page ;-) [[User:Mike Storm|Mike Storm (Talk)]] 16:54, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Alright thanks :D. Ilyanep (Talk) 19:00, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Alexa

Alexa has a feature where you can put your logo into an alexa toolbar and distribute it to visitors on your site. Perhaps we should try it? Ilyanep (Talk) 21:12, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Can you provide a link to the feature so we can see what it does exactly? [[User:Mike Storm|Mike Storm (Talk)]] 00:25, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think it refers to the Alexa toolbar. I personally dislike 3rd-party toolbars, and as I don't use Internet Explorer but Firefox, it probably doesn't even work. -- Solitude 10:22, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yeah its an IE thing. Pcb21| Pete 10:36, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Maybe someone could make up a Wikipedia skin for Mozilla? Although I am rather attached to my "Vorkosigan Comconsole" :-) --Phil | Talk 13:47, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

Second of all, a wp skin for Mozilla would so totally rock!

First of all, I use Mozilla, not IE. Second of all, it has a feature where you can add you logo into an alexa toolbar and distribute it, it's something like Alexa associates or something.

Hi. I needed to clear out the village pump and there didn't seem to be a good place to put this. If this is a feature request, you might want to put it at sourceforge. If it's related just to searching, then maybe Wikipedia:External search engines would be a better place. I'll leave it to you to find a home for it if you think it needs further discussion.

Rendering

Hello. I think it looks better now than it did although it's hard to remember exaclty what I was seeing before. However what is Ilyanepo reading still goes over into the some quotes section so that they share a right border and the text is one layered on top of the other. Under your watch tab the box with some users names in and things of interest also overlap, one on top of the other to the extent that I can't read the content. Hope this helps. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod ......TALKQuietly)]] 19:00, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure what's up. The width for the watch boxes are set at 50%. and with percentage values on my main page. Perhaps it's the length messing up. I'll check it out. Thanks for your help. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 19:03, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thermometer

More like this? - Tεx τ urε 21:16, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Actually, if you see that empty space to the right of the Watching/Reading tables and below the quotes table, I want it to go in there, while the tables stay the same length. (btw, the table with the thermometer is currently in comment tags) — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 21:17, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ok. Add a second table around your "Some Quotes" table with no border. (Makes sure the original has no width or align.) Add the graphic after the "Some Quotes" table but inside the new one you created. - Tεx τ urε 21:20, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You may need a br between the two. - Tεx τ urε 21:21, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes, much much much much much. Thank you very much. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 21:50, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Name

Are you sure your name shouldn't be something like "Ιληανεπ" rather than "Ilγαηερ" which is probably pronounced something like "I-?-ga-ee-er"? (And "Ταλκ" instead of "Tαlκ"? Not sure what the greek equivalent of "a" in "talk" is.) Κσυπ Cyp 21:34, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I know. I was looking at asthetics rather than pronounciation. My thing would be Il-ga-ee-er, however isn't kappa pronounced k? therefore, talk would be talk? — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 21:36, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes, "κ" is pronounced "k". But there's no greek letter "l". With "Ταlκ", I was suggesting "l" → "λ". (Thanks for the 'nice polyhedra' comment.) Κσυπ Cyp 21:46, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Your welcome, good day. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 21:48, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, I live in the country, and it's summer, so I have lots of free time on the computer. When I'm not there, I'm swimming or hanging out with my friends. Feel free to drop me a line anytime; I like hearing from people. :-) Mike H 02:21, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)

Devil Sticks

What's up with all the orphaned redirects to a nonexistant article? Try Devil stick as opposed to Devil Stick. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 06:41, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Moved page to 'Devil Sticks' - neither or both terms should be capitalized.

since I expanded the article to encompass the sport/art of Devil Sticks as a whole, it should not be 'devilsticks' as that just refers to the sticks, the equipment for the sport/art. (similar to calling the sport of hockey, 'hockey stick and skates'}

Also the common usage is the plural, as in 'a set of sticks'... in the singular it refers to the 'center stick' or baton, or just stick. without the controlsticks/sidesticks/handsticks, it's just a baton. Pedant 06:58, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

MORE It was an error on my part to post the redirects before moving the page, it wasn't intentionalvandalism. I believe I have cleaned up any link messiness now. Thanks very much for your helpful suggestion and for noticing my error. Pedant 20:30, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Alright, well thanks for telling me. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 20:35, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Some Russian to Myself

я пешу по русский! правелно я делою?

I don't know if I spelled it right, therefore:

"Ya peshoo (short e) po ruskee (long u)! Pravelno ya peshoo?"

Means: I'm writing in russian? Am I writing correctly?

— Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 05:29, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've used `ispell -d russian' on your text; it caught 3 places and had correct suggestions for 2 of them (the 2nd and the last words).

Unfortunately, the rest had to be filled in by hand:

я пишу по-русски! правильно ли я делаю?

What's up with all the orphaned redirects to a nonexistant article? Try Devil stick as opposed to Devil Stick. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 06:41, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I have gotten myself into a dispute over what I believe to be an important factual error.

I edited a page, correcting a misstatment, I had several questions asked of me on that page's talk page, as my edits piqued some interest.

The answers and questions became unwieldy enough and just enough off topic that I suggested moving the conversation.

overnight, the page was reverted, to the former glaringly false state, saved by an anonymous user with 0 contributions.

if you have time, I would really appreciate if you took a look at Sovereignty and it's talk page.

I welcome any comments you might have, if you have the time to look it over... Pedant 20:04, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Uhm...okay, I'll take a look at it when I get a little more time. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 21:05, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

thanks so much, sorry to presume on your time. I'll be on a shoot for most of the next week, so no rush. I neglected to mention it was a sysop that I tangled with, so maybe I'll be banned by the time I return...

thanks again.

Sysop nomination

I'm up for election to sysop status on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, and I think that you like me (not in that way, sicko ;-)!), so if you think that I would make a good admin, can you please vote for me? Thanks! [[User:Mike Storm|Mike ∞Storm]] 00:28, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A quick Poll

What monitor size and resolution do you use? Also what OS and Browser?(I use 17" and 1152x768x24, WinXP, Moz 1.7 BTW) I'm just wondering what the community uses. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 22:19, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  - I didn't intend to engage in comparative penilometry, just gave the honest specs :-) Right now I am surfing off a laptop, same browser/OS (the distro is Debian sarge BTW), but the resolution is 1024x768x24 at 15". Occn'ly I'm using Konqueror/3.2 (when I encounter a Firefox bug, mostly, or if I have a stupid site that is too much IE-optimized), but it is too heavy to use it as a default. Other than that, Konqueror is great. BACbKA 13:06, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Around 85% of visits to WP are via IE. I expect this self-selecting poll will show a much lower number. What conclusions can we draw? Pcb21| Pete 11:20, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

That where people have no choice of browser (work, library etc.) they will use IE, and otherwise they install a modern browser? Anárion 13:22, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Not true. I'm a die-hard, build it yourself computer nerd. Or at least I was until I bought a laptop. (Ain't so easy to build something highly portable...) I've given up on trying to keep up with the latest and greatest hardware and software. When Netscape stopped coming out with updates way back when, I switched to MSIE, kicking and screaming all the way. When I bought my laptop with XP (finally an OS from MS that's reasonably worthy of being called an OS...) I continued with MSIE. I don't want to learn where all the tweak buttons are for yet another piece of software. I'm used to MSIE now. Can I do better? Sure. Will there be down-sides? Perhaps. Will they be small compared to the benefits? Probably. - UtherSRG 19:02, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You should try Firefox. At only 4.7MB and simple interface designed for the average user, its good to go, there is even a guide written about switching from IE[1]. It is also extendable, there is even Wikipedia specific extensions. Firefox is the browser of choice for all my family. So I recommend everybody who voted IE to try Firefox. [[User:Krik|User:Krik/norm]] 21:58, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Firefox is okay, Opera is a great browser also. A full internet suite in less than half the size of Firefox (less than a fifth if you want FF to be comparable and install Thunderbird + all those necessary extensions). As for IE being sufficient, I know people that were using Netscape 4 until 2003 so I can understand the reluctance to chance even though the browser is technically a generation or two behind...

Another substub vote

I just wanted to let people know that there's another vote on substubs going on in Template talk:Substub#Survey. I know that this is a second vote, however, apparently it was originally intended to be only a vote about whether to keep the template message, but somehow evolved into a vote on the existence of substubs themselves.

changing the color in your signature

How do you do it? I have looked in all the editing and style guides. I have used Google and just about every other tool at my disposal. HTML doesn't seem to work, at least the span tag doesn't. Others I think use the font tag but it is deprecated.

--The Sunborn 03:28, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Oh the accursed span tag. I personally use the font tag, and it works fine for me. What do you mean it's deprecated? Never heard such a thing. [[User:Ilyanep|Ilyanep Old sig...back wen I used templates...now gone]] 15:31, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The font tag is certainly deprecated, i.e. it should not be used. The span and div tags should be used instead with CSS. I also notice that my signature is [[User:Sunborn|The Sunborn]] an yours is [[User:Ilyanep|{{subst:User:Ilyanep/sig}}]]. --The Sunborn 19:58, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, so that my sig didn't take up like 3 lines, I use {{subst:User:Ilyanep/sig}} to make the markup a lot better looking. I personally don't really care if it's deprecated, as long as it works :P [[User:Ilyanep|Ilyanep Old sig...back wen I used templates...now gone]] 20:39, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, -- metta, The Sunborn 22:47, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Glad to be of help...but may I suggest also using a template? Make a template such as {{subst:User:Sunborn/sig}} and paste [[User_talk:Sunborn| The Sunborn ]] into there then in the preferences window put {{subst:User:Sunborn/sig}} as your signature. It makes the wikimarkup a lot simpler to look at. Stike that...after a certain amount of this template on a page, the template breaks for some reason...

WTF are you talking about? It works fine for me, and I have a major amount of stuff in the template source. Your way works great. Thanks again. --metta, The Sunborn ☸ 14:34, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I don't know, just once on the Village pump it didn't work for some reason :( Ilyanep — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ , cοηtrιbs) 15:26, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Any template inevitably breaks the 6th (i think, rather than 5th) time it is used on the same page. It's an important feature, discussed in more than one place; one of my recent edits near the top of Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion is one of them, w/ someone else's & a link to details in the same section. --Jerzy (t) 21:29, 2004 Aug 23 (UTC)
