stats.grok.se

A quick heads up, since I think some of your tools use the api of stats.grok.se: the json format has changed slightly to make it a bit more clear to which entries belong to which dates. If you access stats-classic.grok.se, you get the old format, but I'm not sure how long I'll keep running that service. henrik•talk 11:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Urs Graf, Zeichnung von 1529

Hallo Magnus; du hast hier 2005 den Artikel über Urs Graf angelegt und darin geschrieben "In 1527, he vanished from the city, never to be found again, though a signed drawing from 1529 exists", was sich auch in der aktuellen Version des Artikels noch so erhalten hat. Der Artikel gibt daher in der Einleitung "died after 1529" an. Nun kann ich leider nirgends etwas über diese Zeichnung von 1529 finden, weisst du vielleicht noch, wo du die Information her hattest? Der Artikel im Historischen Lexikon der Schweiz (HLS), ebenfalls von 2005, gibt als Todesdatum "vor 13.10.1528" an, üblicherweise sollte das HLS auf dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung sein. Jedenfalls haben wir so aktuell eine Diskrepanz zwischen der englischen und der deutschen Wikipedia, die ich gerne bereinigen würde. Gestumblindi (talk) 03:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Ich möchte ja nichts überstürzen, aber mangels Antwort würde ich dann also wohl demnächst die Angaben zum Todesjahr dem HLS anpassen und die Aussage zum "signed drawing from 1529", da unbelegt, aus dem Artikel entfernen. Gestumblindi (talk) 02:51, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Keine Ahnung, wo ich das vor 7 Jahren gefunden habe. --Magnus Manske (talk) 09:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Table syntax

Magnus, How do we fix the column widths in a wikitable? (Thought you'd be the right person to ask because you invented the syntax!) Deryck C. 17:30, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Not sure about the case at hand, but generally:

|width="20px"|blah||width="40px"|more blah

If this doesn't work, please point me to the case you're working on. --Magnus Manske (talk) 13:11, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

The page we're working on is meta:Wikimania 2013 bids/Hong Kong. We've got round the problem some other way (I think), and I'll drop you a line if that doesn't solve the problem next time we need it. Thanks! Deryck C. 17:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
