Beyond Divbox
editReplied to your comment on Template talk:Divbox#Content/Fact box. — Xiong熊talk* 2005 June 30 09:51 (UTC)
I see that you are listed as a contributor for this project. Because the project is incomplete, I would like to find out what the current plans are for the project. Much work is still needed, particularly for constellations in the southern sky. I believe we need to do the following:
- Complete the infobox for each constellation.
- Standardise the format for each constellation.
On my user page, I have posted a few ideas for standardisation and I would like some feedback. -- B.d.mills (T, C)
Rondane
editHallo Sverdrup, da ich hier Deutsch schreiben darf, werde ich das mal machen. Deutsch fällt mir doch wesentlich leichter als Englisch. Ich habe den Artikel de:Rondane gerade nach Deutsch übersetzt. Vielleicht magst Du ihn Dir ja mal anschauen. Weshalb ich Dir schreibe: Noch fehlen die Bilder. Magst Du vielleicht Deine Bilder auf die Wikimedia-Commons hochladen? Ich könnte es zwar auch, aber ich finde es besser, wenn ich mich da nicht mit fremden Federn schmücke. Daher wollte ich es Dir überlassen, auch auf Commons der Hochlader zu sein. Danke, --Elwe 13:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

editThank you so very much for your Wikipreview.html... That seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. :) You might want to tell Pilaf about it, I'm sure he'd find it useful... Almafeta 10:44, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
- You are welcome; it's really Pilaf's work all of it, the parser being the most important component. I've already told him about it. Please tell me about any problems/bugs there might be, though. It have not exactly tested it thoroughly. — Sverdrup 10:48, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
Changing the Announcement and Goings-on page
editThank you for responding to my request to change the Wikipedia:Announcements and Wikipedia:Goings-on pages (see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Announcements and Goings-on.

hej hej jag heter cooper gillan. jag är amerikansk, men jag har studerat svenska. jag skriver bara för att fråga dig om bilden på ikeas sida. var ligger butiken på bilden? det är en fint bild! jag var i jönköping i januari till maj. jag har en kompis som bor i kristianstad och jag har en skåne flag!! hoppas att allt är bra. hejdå. NPPyzixBlan 21:14, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
hej, tack för meddelandet. a, du tänkte rätt, bilden som du hade var bilden jag menade. jag frågade om den bara därför att jag tyckte att det var lite konstigt att se en ikea utan blå och gul, eller hur? jag har mycket ikea på min lägenhet, och det finns mycket ikea på mitt universitet. hej, tycker du om dungen? de är svensk och min kompis frågade mig en gång om jag kunde förstå texter, men....hehe, inte så mycket. jag försöker. jag har en amerikansk kompis som studerade på lunds universitet för tre år sedan, och hon älskade lund. men alla älskar sverige, eller hur?? tack och hejdå.

Hej Sverdup Den fina rondanebilden på flakksfjellet, nu har jag försökt göra så att man kan se att det är jag som har tatt den, inte du, men jag fattar inte hur man gör. Inte för att det spelar någon roll eller så, rent licensmässigt är den din. Jag har abra fruktansvärt tråkigt och lång håltimme. // Sverdrup d.y

Martian longitude
editIn your edit summary to Olympus Mons, you said, "226 E?? there are only 180 of those, so the link doesn't work. Fixed to 134 W, verified that the link works and displays olympus mons in the applet." On Mars, longitude ranges from 0° to 360°--eastward or westward, depending on your mood. For instance, see Image:MarsTopoMap-PIA02031 modest.jpg
- "You can now view the coordinates for Mars in two different systems: planetographic latitude with longitude increasing to the west, or planetocentric latitude with longitude increasing to the east. Both systems are approved for use on Mars by the International Astronomical Union (Seidelmann and others 2002).
- "Planetographic latitude with west longitude is the system that has traditionally been used for Mars, and was previously the only system used on this web site. Planetocentric latitude with east longitude has been adopted for use by the USGS and other organizations for use in making future Mars maps and imagery (Duxbury and others 2002)."
- http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/TOCmarsmain.html
—wwoods 17:56, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
- Thank you for the clarification! Unfortunately the link didn't work (the link to the kvaleberg map sources) with 226° E, so we had to change it. I hope it's no big deal as both sets of coordinates describe the same spot, with different but accepted standards. — Sverdrup 11:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

editThank you for your comments. I am, of course, not trying to own articles, and am well aware of the "editing mercilessly" policy.

In this edit, you wrote
- "any club including one or more colored persons."
Whom were you quoting? Please see talk:baseball color line. Apparently your information contradicts information added later, and the article has been that way for a long time. Michael Hardy 02:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's a hard question! I can't remember, but I have searched around now; I can find something like that quoted at [1], where it says "any club which may be composed of one or more colored persons." I can't say for sure if this was my original source and/or if I modified the quote. I don't think the truth of the statement is at risk, but finding sources is always good (as we think now two years later. Sourcing statements wasn't practice at all in 2004). ❝Sverdrup❞ 15:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:U-Svdp.png
editThank you for uploading Image:U-Svdp.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shyam (T/C) 10:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

- Well I shouldn't be the deciding factor here, but I think your image is much better, particularly for use in articles. While perhaps not as clear, my "clipped" version is a bit confusing. You can delete the old one if you want to, but I see there is one use of it here too: User:Green meklar/Userboxes. Regards, ❝Sverdrup❞ 15:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Susning.nu-logo.png)
editThanks for uploading Image:Susning.nu-logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:02, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:TextEdit-screenshot.png
editA tag has been placed on File:TextEdit-screenshot.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. moɳo 03:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:05, 26 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Speedy deletion nomination of Niall Williams
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Niall Williams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 11:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
The article Niall Williams has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- There are no reliable third-party sources for this article.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Maher-shalal-hashbaz (talk) 11:04, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview
editDear Sverdrup,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.9.115.210 (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted
editI invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.
Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 02:37, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
editFollowing a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. MadmanBot (talk) 00:30, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
You haven't used the admin tools since 2010, and that was only once. The last time before that was 2008, and even then you only used them 14 times over a 2-week period. Before that, 3 times in 2007. The last time that you used them regularly was in 2006. To sum up, you've used admin tools 18 times in the last decade. You've also barely edited over the same period.
Please do the right thing and resign your admin status rather than making token edits to hang onto it. — Scott • talk 22:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection
editHello, Sverdrup. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
- Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
- A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
editHello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
editHi Sverdrup.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
