Little context in 1636 in sports

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 1636 in sports, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because 1636 in sports is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting 1636 in sports, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Stratocracy

This is a message from the unregistered user who edited the Stratocracy page. The edit I made wasn't a test. The information in the section "Stratocracy in Fiction" was inaccurate. The page claimed that the manga/anime series Fullmetal Alchemist features a stratocracy, when in fact a reference was made to an alternate power structure in vol. 16. I accept that perhaps I should not have edited it without consulting someone, and apologize for the trouble. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.117.138.33 (talk) 05:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

Hi Yarnalgo , can you please be careful with your speedy deletion tagging? For example:

• This has content and context, it just doesn't say why the company is important.
• This was not spam when you tagged it, but could have been tagged with no content because it just had one external link.
• This has more than enough context to determine the article's subject, and could be prodded or taken to AFD if you think she's non-notable (as she may well be).

Hope that helps. Somno (talk) 09:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I will try to be more careful in the future. --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 09:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 14:56, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, I will be careful in my usage and only use it for obvious vandalism. --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 19:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

List of baseball parks in Toronto, Ontario

I would be glad to entertain suggestions on how to improve the appearance of that article, or list actually. Some have suggested using a table, but the variable length of the various data elements don't seem to fit that idea. That's why I'm using kind of an "outline" format.

File:M777 Light Towed Howitzer 1.jpg

Just curious, why did you change the license tag on some of User:Jonathanmallard's images?-Andrew c ^[talk] 03:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Because he is a US Army soldier and the pictures were taken during his course of duty. That makes the pictures "work[s] prepared by an officer or employee of the U.S. government as part of that person's official duties" which puts the pictures in the public domain. The license on Flickr is irrelevant because of this. --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 06:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Do you have information that I do not? I think the key word in that tag is "official duties" and it isn't clear to me that Mr. Mallard is an Army photographer. I just assumed that these were personal photos taken in an unofficial capacity. I could be mistaken, but I just didn't have evidence to the contrary, which is why I'm contacting you :) To see if you have more information than me. Thanks!-Andrew c ^[talk] 13:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

The way it has been previously explained to me, is that as long as he is taking the pictures while on his tour of duty, that constitutes as "part of that person's official duties." It doesn't really matter to me. You can revert the change if you want (on that picture, it wasn't even me who changed the license first). --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 20:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

DreamGYM

Hello, User DreamGYM is here. I wonder why my User Page was considered for deletion. I created the page to explain a bit about company that initially produced the articles. These articles have no direct connection to the company and do not sell any of its products. It was done on the User page, not as a main article. I was in discussion with another admin (Mindmatrix) about this page and articles. I thought that I'm not "spamming" the Wikipedia this way. Before putting a page together I checked pages about companies that I worked for and competitors pages. All seems to be fine for them. All they did for Wikipedia - just put user page about themselves with a link to their site - pure conflict of interests.

Well, my life did not start on Wikipedia as in paradise :) but I'm optimistic that it can be better.

Best regards, DreamGYM (talk) 03:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Well an article like that in the article namespace would definitely be deleted because it is written like an advertisement. To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure if you are alowed to write the article in your user page but I was going on a very similar if not exact case where the page was deleted (User:Illusions Online Arabia FZ LLC). --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 06:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt answer. DreamGYM (talk) 10:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with the Scottish lacrosse articles. I was amazed to see that there were none until recentluy, because of the long history of it here.

German windmills

Thanks for improving the various lists by adding images. Are you able to add the images to the corresponding German language articles or would it be better if I gave a shout to a German editor to do this? Mjroots (talk) 03:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I can probably do them too but right now I'm still working on the English lists. In the meantime you could have a German editor do them or just wait. --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 03:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, I'll wait. After all, there's no rush, is there? If you have any problems, give User:DeNiteshift a shout (de:Benutzer:Niteshift is his German user page), he speaks better English than his Babel suggests. Mjroots (talk) 03:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

CodeFixer and BR tags

I see you used the tool "CodeFixer" to just add two characters to the template {{current court case}}. This is your edit: [1]

You changed from the wikimarkup <br> tag to the XHTML <br /> tag. There's no consensus for doing such changes.

So which should we use? <br> or <br />?

Let's examine this step by step:

1: Writing the XHTML code <br/> without a blank is even against the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium, instead it should be written as <br /> since then HTML parsers can understand it too. HTML parsers will simply regard <br /> as a "br" with an unknown parameter "/", while they will regard "br/" as an unknown tag name. So we should definitely not teach people to write <br/>, but possibly <br />.

2: The "HTML" codes we use here at Wikipedia are not XHTML markup nor are they HTML markup, instead they are "HTML wikimarkup", since MediaWiki processes them just like wikimarkup.

3: Wikipedia mainly uses wikimarkup. The reason for that is simple: Most people that edit Wikipedia are people who never have made a web page, so they know nothing about HTML, XHTML or CSS. So for them (and even for us old webmaster geeks) it is easier to use wikimarkup.

4: As far as I have seen the documentation for MediaWiki talks about "HTML in wikitext" and never mentions "XHTML in wikitext". Also up until recently all documentation listed <br> as the code for forced line breaks. But some time ago some XHTML enthusiasts went around and edited a lot of the help pages to show the <br /> or even the <br/>.

So which should we use? <br> or <br />?

Well, let's first ask another question: Which markup should we use for bold text?

• '''Bold'''
• <b>Bold</b>
• <span style="font-weight:bold;">Bold</span>

I think we all know that the wikimarkup '''Bold''' is the recommended one. Mainly because it is simpler to use, especially for the majority of editors that don't know HTML and CSS.

The same goes for <br> vs <br />. The HTML wikimarkup <br> is easier for the majority of editors to use, and it is shorter.

Sure, we have a "teaching opportunity" to teach people to use the <br />, but there is a very high risk that they instead will use the <br/> and that would be a bad thing. And believe it or not, many beginners have problems telling "/" and "\" apart. So they sometimes use the <br\> or even </br>...

So again, the <br> is easier for the majority of editors to use, and it is shorter.

MLL

Yarn, you posted a note at User talk:Smith03 about American vs British english. Are you talking about this edit? I think Smith's change of "colour->color" is appropriate based on the MLL -- similar to MLB -- being a US based league (i.e. using American english).

FFD for ArmyNavyLax2009.JPG

I commented at the FfD. The photo is credited to Army Athletic Communications. The athletic department of the United States Military Academy is part of the Department of the Army, and therefore its works are in the public domain. Strikehold (talk) 04:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Your right, I was thinking because it was on the Go Army athletics page (commercial site with copyright notice as I said; West Point main site does not have copyright notice b/c it is PD) that it was copyrighted. But since it has this attribution it is in the public domain as you said. Thanks and great job on the college team articles --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 05:09, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I probably should've linked directly to the page with the image and attribution instead of the gallery to eliminate any confusion. The (C) at the bottom of the site, I assume, was put there by privately contracted website developers. They may hold some rights over some things like the web design, but may not necessarily understand copyright law as it applies to the USG. Strikehold (talk) 05:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

{{find}} and {{rescue}}

It's showing up on all the articles tagged for rescue as a big wonky error message. -- Banjeboi 18:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

That is weird... Any idea why? I tried it out in my sandbox and it worked fine. --Yarnalgo _{talk to me} 18:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I hate to be paranoid but everytime something "weird" happens it sadly points to someone who has issues with the Article Rescue Squad (sigh); the {{BLP sources}} template used our idea but had different coding. Hmmmm. I think it's someone's pointy way of saying they think rescue template only should be on the talkpage of an article but community consensus has maintained that mainpage usage is completely fine. -- Banjeboi 18:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Casebox

Yarnalgo, I've replied on this page: I've got another question when you're back; how do the titles work? For instance, I'm planning to have lots of different boxes which can be used across a number of pages; if I put in a page something like "<Template:Casebox consideration>" would that mean that the template page itself would be "Template:Casebox consideration"? Wikidea 12:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I see you added and then removed Category:Sportspeople from Ontario — just to let you know, the category does exist, but it's in the naming format Category:Ontario sportspeople. It should get moved to the "Sportspeople from Ontario" format, but it hasn't yet because all of the other Canadian sportspeople-by-province categories would have to get done at the same time.

UK Supreme Court badge

Sorry I did not realize it wasn't accurate. The svg version was made because of a request at Commons. I don't think the creator realized that it wasn't the right leaf.

Amanda O'Leary

Greetings, Yarnalgo. I have just reviewed your recent series of edits to the Amanda O'Leary article, to wit:

1. There is no express or implied prohibition on the use of nicknames in the Template:Persondata. In fact, not including common nicknames in the persondata when the article is titled under the subject's birth name makes no darn sense. The persondata template is meta data; it makes the page more readily searchable on the internet without having to include every variation on the subject's name within the article title or text. Try searching "Mandee O'Leary" or "Mandee Moore" on Google and it will highlight the metadata within the article.

2. Re-spacing the article every time you edit it is an annoyance, and it screws up the diff comparisons (this article has never had anything other than "standard spacing"). Standard spacing (i.e. single line spaces between paragraphs headers and other codes, two spaces after sentence-ending periods) is expressly permitted by the Wikipedia protocols and makes reading and editing of the code much easier and faster, especially for those of us with less than perfect vision. As a courtesy, please do not re-space this article.

3. The use of ndashes is expressly permitted by WP:MOS and is used almost uniformly throughout Wikipedia sports projects to make citation page spans (e.g., pp. 175–202), year spans (e.g., 1999–2002), win-loss records (e.g., 13–1) and game scores (e.g., 21–7) easier to read quickly. Every other University of Florida article is formatted this way across multiple sports, including those subject to the College Football, College Basketball, Baseball and Volleyball Wikipedia Projects, which all strongly prefer (and many actually enforce) the use of the ndash as described. Frankly, I doubt the Lacrosse WikiProject is any different to the extent anyone has actually considered formatting consistency.

4. I have restored those non-duplicative "See also" article links that are directly related to the article subject, with an explanatory notation, per the WP:SEEALSO guidelines. Several of those deleted by you were not duplicates of those links found in the body text of the article.

5. We are already working on a new University of Florida navbox, which will include clearer links to all Florida Gators sports teams and current coaches for use on all Florida Gators team and current coach pages. Most of this information was already included within the general University of Florida navbox you deleted. I would be grateful if you would not delete the new version of this navbox when it is ready. The primary readers of the Amanda O'Leary and Florida Gators lacrosse articles are University of Florida alumni and other Florida Gators fans. Deleting these navboxes just makes it harder for them to find other Gators sports articles when navigating Wikipedia.

6. After the date of birth and living person categories, categories are generally listed alphabetically in the absence of a clear hierarchy or priority order per Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization. Most Wikipedia article categories are listed alphabetically because no objective hierarchy or priority order can be established.

You have made very helpful substantive additions to these articles in the past, notably including information and improvements regarding Coach O'Leary's personal life, family, Hall of Fame membership, etc. These constructive edits are always welcome additions. Reformatting non-substantive elements of the article per your personal tastes is an enormous waste of your time and my time, especially when one of the stated goals of my project is to impose uniform formatting per WP:MOS on all of our Florida Gators article, and other Wiki sports projects are doing their best to enforce those same uniform formatting standards. If necessary, I will pursue this with an administrator and/or Wiki mediation or arbitration not because I want to, but because our project cannot spend its time trying to reconcile non-standard formatting of individual editors (even if they are leaders of other projects) with their own tastes.

If you would like to discuss these matters further, I am more than willing to discuss them with you. You may e-mail me through the link on the tool box infobox (at left) on my user page. Please consider what I have taken the time to explain above before reformatting the article again. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

(2) I really apologize about the spacing thing and I will try not to change that again (I use Auto Ed which does it automatically and sometimes I just forget how disruptive to the page layout and diff it can be). (1) Per WP:PDATA, "The optional |ALTERNATIVE NAMES= field is used to list other common (usually international) forms of the person name, but not simply abbreviated versions of the full name." That is what I was working off but if you feel it is necessary to include her nicknames that is fine. (3) As far as the endashes go, I did not replace any. It may have appeared that way in the code because I replaced the HTML entities (–) with the Unicode character (–) which looks close to a hyphen (-) in the code. There is no official ruling on which one to use over the other but the general preference is the Unicode characters because they are easier to read in code and use less bytes (if you want to use the entities that's fine; I don't feel that strongly either way). (4–6) I really did not mean any harm and I have read what you've written and understand it. Thanks. --Yarnalgo _talk to me 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration, Yarnalgo. I really do appreciate your lacrosse knowledge and your expertise with lacrosse-specific references. I am an adopted Gator by transfer and later graduate studies at Florida, having attended UVA for two years first. My first-year UVA roommate was a high-school All-American at a well-known Baltimore area prep school, and he was my introduction to lacrosse. When we finish cleaning up our Florida Gators sports articles later this year, I would love to help you with your project's priority articles.

BTW, if we have missed any obvious lacrosse reference resources in either the O'Leary or Gators team articles, I would be very grateful if you would add them to the articles or let me know where to find them. The on-line lacrosse history and statistics references are still a whole new universe to me, and I am certain we Gators lacrosse newbies are missing some of the good stuff that's out there. Thanks again. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Lacrosse Player

Could you add a career highlight parameter to {{Infobox Lacrosse Player}}?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:27, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Y Done Use the parameter career_highlight and tell me if that's what you meant. --Yarnalgo _talk to me 02:14, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

You need to update the documentation on the page so that everyone can see how to use it.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:17, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Something is wrong with the text wrap. See User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Kevin Lowe (lacrosse).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:25, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, you changed the syntax of the website link, which is going to cause all uses of the website in this template to suddenly be malformated.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:25, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

The template doesn't wrap by design so just add line breaks manually. As far as the websites, I went through every article that uses that parameter and updated them and then added a note to the doc. --Yarnalgo _talk to me 08:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Now the default website is {{URL|example.com}} Instead of just an omitted line.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Almost all other sports have standardized widths that force line breaks. See most athletes in other sports and the general NCAA athlete such as User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Scott Bacigalupo.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:03, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

(undent) Added a fixed width and fixed the website. --Yarnalgo _talk to me 22:04, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Please revisit Kevin Lowe (lacrosse) and see how odd it looks that everything is indented half way across. Can you reformat to be more like the aforementioned infoboxes for other sports.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:27, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Think I got it. Look good now? --Yarnalgo _talk to me 23:48, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Great. Thanks for your efforts.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:01, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Is there a way to keep the teams from looking so smushed?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:45, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

See other sports like Juwan Howard or Tyrone Wheatley.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:50, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Warrior Hockey

The article Warrior Hockey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems non-notable and is borderline advertising.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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. KaySL^talk 18:35, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Robert H. Scott

i was just looking at the above page,that on the man who was my college lacrosse coach. i must say i am mystified by the calculations that yielded the 'percentages' listed in his record. they are so far off that i wonder if i'm understanding what they represent. the 1974 season, for example, is described as 12 and 2, giving a percentage of .467. by my calculation that gives a winning percentage of .857. another season is described as 8 and 0, yet the percentage is not 1.000. i see no trace of vandalism. what am i missing?Toyokuni3 (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
