Dylan template

edit

I've taken the liberty of revising the Dylan template you created a little while ago; it would have taken me longer to describe the changes I'd have suggested than to actually make them. The big change is to sort out the "standard" live albums separately -- the original version had several in the "albums" section, others in the "bootleg/live" section. Having gone that far, I then gave the "Bootleg Series" releases their own section; that's an intuitive call, and if it bothers you, just knock it back. Finally, klutz that I am, I can't figure out why my changes make the closing bracket visible, and nothing I've tried fixes it -- could you tell me what I've done wrong?

clean-up

You tagged Henri, Comte de Paris with a "clean-up" template, but you haven't indicated a reason on the talk page. What changes do you think are needed there? - Nunh-huh 23:37, 5 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I've reverted the new sound icon. It's terrible! It is utterly unclear as to what is supposed to be portrayed in it. Raul654 02:34, 24 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Constitution of the United States

edit

Using the {{wikisource}} and {{wikisource2}} styles at the start, I think, makes it more obvious where there is an interwiki link. I didn't realise there was a link in See also or I would have removed it. Is the consensus to prefer it in the See also list? Davidkinnen 22:42, 27 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

An example, of many, can be see at Canada Act 1982 which has a wikisource box, I think this provides a more obvious link that there is original source material. However, it is a stylistic difference. Davidkinnen 22:42, 27 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Great edit!

Great edit on the tea infobox... I did a really bad green version... ut was pretty un-Wikipedia and I just didnt bother to change it. Its really good, the spacing is a little funny; but its good as it is. Great edit ! --Iateasquirrel 01:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Infobox band optional parameters

edit

Following your addition of optional parameters, Children of Bodom broke, as the band members information is being displayed both inside and outside of the infobox div. Any ideas on how to fix that? --Sn0wflake 16:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Template:Infobox University

edit

Stop whatever you're doing. Your new method is horrible, ugly, confusing to new editors, and unnecessary. Please revert your changes and make your proposal on the Talk page. Please read Wikipedia:Avoid using meta-templates for the myriad reasons calling templates within templates is a bad practice. -- Netoholic @ 22:14, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Also, you changed the infobox labels without changing the data. A university's number of staff will be much larger than its number of faculty. -Acjelen 21:42, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Template:Infobox Pope

edit

The layout and structure of Template:Infobox pope was agreed by consensus after a long discussion and vote. Please don't unilaterally change it from the form agreed with a consensus to a form overwhelmingly rejected by the community. FearÉIREANN \(caint) 12:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I can't find any such concensus in recent times. Most discussion recently on the talk page is in support of the "plain" style. Jtdirl is free to revive discussion. -- Netoholic @ 12:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

optional parameters

edit

Try to avoid making too many fields optional in infoboxs. The point of them is to provide a full amount of information, and a certain amount of "blanks" encourages that. If people can't see the rows, they will probably never discover what's needed. Here's my guideline - if, for any parameter, there is no easy way to provide it on greater than 50% of articles, make it optional. Items like "staff", "ringtone", etc. can be easily retrieved, and so should be made mandatory and visible. -- Netoholic @ 20:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Template:Infobox Baseball Stadium

edit

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your redirect of this template. Currently it isn't obsolete as the baseball template has additional information no included on the standard Template:Infobox Stadium template not the least of which is the field dimensions. A redirect eliminated this info and broke several dozen infoboxes. Gateman1997 18:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Google Template Change

edit

Hello, Kesla - I'm not sure if you're aware of the consensus on page Talk:Google#The_Google_Template_Box regarding the use of the Google Template boxes. There, the community decided that Google services template was to be used instead of Google Inc. template. In fact, some members of the community voted to delete Google Inc. instead of Google services. I have reverted those changes per Wikipedia community consensus. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 06:00, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Clarification - I haven't reverted the pages yet, but I do believe a compromise can be met by merging the two template boxes into a more streamlined one that will please everybody. :) I hope you can help me with this. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 06:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I have eliminated all the non-Google links or unecessary links from Template:Google Inc. It's much better now! Further refinements can be continued on. –- kungming·2 | (Talk·Contact) 04:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Choosing one template for musicians

edit

Hello Kesla, I just posted a message in Template talk:Infobox Band, but I got no response, I hope you don't mind if I ask you directly. Currently there's two infoboxes that are used for bands: Template:Infobox Band and Template:Infobox musical artist 2. While the first one in band-specific, the second is a general infobox for all musicians and groups, that nevertheless contains the same fields. Do you think we could agree on one standard infobox to use? CG 12:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Big Endian Vs. Little Endian

edit

Interesting that the other Impulse page (which I don't remember finding or I wouldn't have wasted my time) is of the Impulse is the integral of Force camp, when I along with others am in the Impulse is the differential of acceleration camp, which is almost opposite. My fault for not saving the page, so I can't remember what I put down to contrast it, but I know I put in a few references that agree with the right way! Did anyone even notice they are diametrically opposed? Any easy way to retrieve it? Otherwise I'll just put in the company reference and ignore the whole argument.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Waltdisney.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Waltdisney.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 19:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:Xine_logo.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading Image:Xine_logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC).

Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Gtk Sharp Logo.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Thanks for uploading File:Sufjan - Hark! Songs for Christmas.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 04:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:58, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

 

The article Beagle (software) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:


WP:NN product. This is an article about a product that does not assert its importance. A great example of why Wikipedia needs a speedy deletion criterion for articles about products that do not assert the product's notability or importance. Toddst1 (talk) 03:52, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A kitten for you!
