== Infobox improvements ==

Hi, I've seen some of yout infobox improvements, and I have a suggestion. Books on locomotives normally quote partial inches as fractions, not decimals, so we should really display in the same form. So, instead of putting something like this:
:<code><nowiki>{{convert|4|ft|7.5|in|m|3|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code>
which displays as
:{{convert|4|ft|7.5|in|m|3|abbr=on}}
put this instead:
:<code><nowiki>{{convert|4|ft|7+1/2|in|m|3|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code>
which displays as
:{{convert|4|ft|7+1/2|in|m|3|abbr=on}}
This works for 1/2, 1/4, 3/4, plus (I think) 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 7/8, but not the sixteenths. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#d30000; background:#ffeeee">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 21:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
:Following on from the above: regarding {{diff|Furness Railway K2|418497188|364105535|this edit}}, please note that the {{para|abbr}} parameter has only two valid values: {{para|abbr|on}} and {{para|abbr|off}}. Use of any other value, such as {{para|abbr|none}}, may give unexpected results. Omitting the parameter entirely has the same effect as using {{para|abbr|off}}. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#d30000; background:#ffeeee">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 20:32, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice - I have indeed spotted the fractions and how to do them in another edit, the only reason I have been omitting them and using the aforementioned decimals is due to the fact that they were in a format previously that I could not use, and I'd done most of the edits before I worked out how to do decimals. And the reason I used abbr=none is because I'd seen that somewhere (don't remember where) in an article, and the last time I omitted the function the code didn't work (although not for that reason, it's still psychologically affected though). [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 08:26, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, there are a few funny combinations of units which throw an error when used in the basic {{tlx|convert|''quantity''|''from''|''to''}} form. In most cases these can be fixed by forcing the number of decimal places, as in {{tlx|convert|''quantity''|''from''|''to''|3}}, but as you discovered, using certain named parameters can also work. It's not limited to {{para|abbr|off}} - {{para|lk|off}} can also work, as can certain others.
:Fractions that won't work in the way that I described above are those using single characters (ie ½, ¼, ⅛, etc.); they need to be in three-character form (ie 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.). --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#d30000; background:#ffeeee">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 14:03, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Excluding the tractive effort (and, when I remember, boiler pressure), I leave the |to field blank, as it works doing that and it also will always go to the right unit if I put that (excluding the aforementioned lbf, which goes to N, when we want kN, and psi goes to KPa not MPA, when we want the latter. Most pages are done in this way as well. [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 16:16, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

== Conversion units ==

Hi Luke, I've seen some of your conversions, and I disagree with some of your changes, most notably {{diff|British Rail Class 323|425321057|prev|this edit}} you just made to [[British Rail Class 323]].
* I think that "ftin" works better than decimal "ft".
* Whilst horsepower is used for diesel engines, [[electric locomotive]]s are normally only quoted in kW or MW, so do not need a conversion.
* Metric units should really use the correct prefix to use a figure in the range 0..999, so 1.168&nbsp;[[megawatt|MW]] is correct, and US locomotive weights should explicitly convert from "lbs" to "t".
See [[WP:UNITS]], etc., for more information. [[User:Tim PF|Tim PF]] ([[User talk:Tim PF|talk]]) 12:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:If I put the "ft" in, that would've been a complete accident. I disagree on your point about electric locomotives, as the majority of BR trains already have the conversion in, and thus all should have it to be brought in line with those. I appreciate your point about the MW, but again, most trains are shown with kW so I altered it to bring it in line with those. I can understand your point about "lbs" to "t", but having the information there in "stones" is not necessarily a bad thing. Also, going back to the HP/kW bit, it enables a more direct comparison between diesels and electrics due to the fact that some people will not necessarily be able to compare "W/kW/MW" against each other as they would with "hp". Anyway, that's my thoughts on it, and I apologize for the "ft" error, that was probably supposed to go blank of the "ft" so it would autodefine it, or something - can't remember precisely [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 15:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
::If you looked at the diff link I made above, you'll see that you did indeed remove the "ftin", but the autodefine for "m" gives "ft", so the precision will determine if it has decimals.  It's one of several instances in {{tl|convert}} where the default option is not necessarily the best, as is often precision and having to add "abbr=on" most of the time.  I find that I have to use the "show preview" button quite a lot when doing conversions to check that it actually does what I really want it to do.
::I don't know where you get "stones" from, or are you mixing up with the ST in Short Tons?
::I know that a lot of trains are shown in MW, but then again I've noticed "25,000&nbsp;V" used a lot too (not a conversion issue -- just that 25&nbsp;kV reads better).
::One horsepower I did remove was for [[head end power]], where I've only ever seen either kW or ETH index.  But I suppose it doesn't hurt having hp for electrics, even if it is rarely quoted in most spec. sheets.
::Keep up the conversions. [[User:Tim PF|Tim PF]] ([[User talk:Tim PF|talk]]) 21:34, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Regarding precision, I've changed an instance of "<nowiki>{{convert|120|km/h|1|abbr=on}}</nowiki>" ({{convert|120|km/h|1|abbr=on}}) to "<nowiki>{{convert|120|km/h|0|abbr=on}}</nowiki>" ({{convert|120|km/h|0|abbr=on}}), as the converted value shouldn't be more precise than the source per [[MOS:CONVERSIONS]]. [[User:Tim PF|Tim PF]] ([[User talk:Tim PF|talk]]) 22:42, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:::: Right, OK, I'll watch the values I'm putting in :) I agree for certain on the 25,000V issue, 5 figure numbers certainly need changing to the correct term (in this case kV as you stated), and I would never put 25,000V. [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 07:37, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

===Rail gauge===
Hi, regarding the rail gauge - for a British locomotive, it's better to put {{para|gauge|{{tlx|railgauge|ussg}} }} than {{para|gauge|{{tlx|railgauge|sg}} }} - that way, it shows as {{railgauge|ussg}} with the imperial units first. There are two reasons for this (i) it's consistent with (say) a driving wheel diameter of {{convert|6|ft|8|in|mm|abbr=on}}; and (ii) it puts the sourceable figure first - sources (especially the loco's design drawings) are less likely to quote the metric figure. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#d30000; background:#ffeeee">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:38, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:This makes sense, I shall bear this in mind in future. [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 16:06, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

== GER Class T19 ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.<br>
One of your recent edits on [[GER Class T19]] caused a 'Cite Error'. I suggest using the "Show preview" button before the "Save page" button. The offending edit was {{diff2|425498499|this one}}. I've fixed it, (changed <nowiki></reference></nowiki> back to <nowiki></ref></nowiki>) so no big problem. :-)<br>'''•''' However, could you also please use an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]? ('Template' Message follows ↓) [[File:Information_icon.svg|20px|left]] Hi there. When [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|editing an article on Wikipedia]] there is a small field labeled "[[Help:Edit summary|Edit summary]]" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:<br /> [[File:Edit_Summary-2.png|Edit summary text box]]

The text written here will appear on the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] page, in the [[Help:Page history|page revision history]], on the [[m:Help:Diff|diff page]], and in the [[meta:Help:Watching pages|watchlists]] of users who are watching that article. See [[m:Help:Edit summary]] for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field.  If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead.  Thank you.<!-- Template:Summary --> - Happy Editing! - [[User:220.101.28.25|'''220.101''']] [[User talk:220.101.28.25|{{purple|talk}}]]<sup>[[Special:Contributions/220.101.28.25|\{{green|Contribs}}]]</sup> 22:40, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the lack of an edit summary, usually all I've done is added the conversion tables in, which are obvious and (in theory at least) don't need the summaries so much. I knew there was a cite error, I just had no idea to fix it, so thank you for doing so. :) [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 07:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

::No worries. If you are often doing the same/similar edits you can copy/paste the summary text from your ''previous'' edit summaries on your [[Special:Contributions/Lukeno94|contributions page]]. I often do this, but I ''also'' often paste any template I am adding into my [[Special:Contributions/220.101.28.25|edit summaries]]. A bit of overkill, but useful. If you paste a basic '''<nowiki>{{convert|km|m}}</nowiki>''' into your summary, it is there for future use. <br>'''•''' As for Cite Errors, or other problems, there are various help forums ie. the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|{{green|Wikipedia:Help desk}}]], and pages like [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners|{{green|WP:Referencing for beginners}}]] on WP. That particular error comes up on [[:Category:Pages with missing references list]], and ''very'' experienced editors(over 200,000 edits!) are leaving errors behind themselves too! If you find that you have ''really'' stuffed up a page, (not even 'Show preview' can show ''all'' problems, especially if you are editing a ''section'' not the full page) then I would suggest a quick [[wp:revert|self-revert]]. If you need help with a 'problem' like that, and I am on-line you can contact me on my [[User talk:220.101.28.25|talk page]]. {{=)|grin}} - [[User:220.101.28.25|'''220.101''']] [[User talk:220.101.28.25|{{purple|talk}}]]<sup>[[Special:Contributions/220.101.28.25|\{{green|Contribs}}]]</sup> 01:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

== Infobox locomotive ==

Hi, until recently you'd mainly been adding missing values to an existing {{tlx|Infobox locomotive}}. I notice that you are now adding the infobox to articles which previously didn't have them, {{diff|NER 901 Class|425639494|373141710|as here}} - this is fine in principle, but please be careful which parameters you are using. I assume that you've copied a blank template from somewhere, but one of those that you've copied has itself got errors, because I've seen you use the parameter {{para|cylinders}}, which isn't recognised - it should be {{para|cylindercount}}.

There are three "standard" blank copies of the template on its documentation page - one each for steam, Diesel and electric. If you go to [[Template:Infobox locomotive#Examples]] you'll see these three blanks, which you can copy&paste, then remove the parameters which are not required (such as {{para|tenderweight}} for a tank loco). --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#d30000; background:#ffeeee">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:57, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:I haven't copied the template, what happened there was me mis-remembering what the correct value was - if you look at the more recent ones, I have realized what it is actually. However, copying those templates (which I was already aware of) seems like a good idea to me and is something I may well do in future. I'd have gone back and fixed my mistake, except I couldn't remember where I'd started going wrong and felt that simply working with correct values on those that had not got any infoboxes was more important than fixing one error, as it wasn't table-destroying or anything.

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Lukeno94|your contributions]] to Wikipedia.

Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-preview -->

Your {{diff|TRAXX|433702482|429404904|recent edits}} to [[:TRAXX]] introduced at least one error, and other undesirable features, which I have {{diff|TRAXX|433738362|prev|corrected}} (with some other minor changes):
* Wrong inference: The power output for the Multi-system locomotives is only lower for 1.5&nbsp;kV supplies; the higher figure is applicable for 3&nbsp;kV DC as well as both AC supplies.
* Too much precision:
** "<tt><nowiki>tractiveeffort = {{convert|270|-|300|kN|0|abbr=on}}</nowiki></tt>" generates a 5-significant figure result ''tractiveeffort = {{convert|270|-|300|kN|0|abbr=on}}''; best to let it default to automatic precision: ''tractiveeffort = {{convert|270|-|300|kN|abbr=on}}''.
** Conversely, omitting it for "<tt><nowiki>length = {{convert|18.900|m|ftin|abbr=on}}</nowiki></tt>" arguably gives too much precision: ''length = {{convert|18.900|m|ftin|abbr=on}}'', rather than ''length = {{convert|18.900|m|ftin|0|abbr=on}}''.
* Using the preview button should have showed up that "<tt><nowiki>topspeed = {{convert|140|km/h|0abbr=on}}</nowiki></tt>" gave ''topspeed = {{convert|140|km/h|0abbr=on}}'', rather than the ''topspeed = {{convert|140|km/h|0|abbr=on}}'' that you probably intended.

You may find this IP editor's talk-page on the French wiki interesting: [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:81.93.6.149 81.93.6.149]. This article is very clearly a hoax. This is an IP editor who attests to be a knowledgable uninvolved party, but has multiple spam and advertising warnings and IP blocks on the French wiki.

[http://uk.soccerway.com/players/akira-toshima/122501/ uk.soccerway.com] stats has a mistake.

Hi there - I have reverted your bundling as it was completely inappropriate. Ideally it should be done by the AFD creator, and it cerainly shouldn't be done after the discussion has started. Please nominate seperately and properly. [[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]][[User talk:GiantSnowman|Snowman]] 13:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Science and God‎ ==

Hi Lukeno94, thanks for your comments at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Science and God‎]]. You noted that it's not good procedure to nominate articles for deletion so quickly. I can see why that would be, and I know that lots of Wikipedia policies put forward that view. The problem is, I didn't like to leave the article unremarked upon. Policy also advises against maintenance tagging so soon after creation - so I'm wondering, what is the appropriate way to go in situations like this? Is watchlisting the article and coming back to it later the only thing we can really do? --[[User:Noiratsi|Noiratsi]] ([[User talk:Noiratsi|talk]]) 20:14, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:I would say that watchlisting it for a day or two before nominating it would've been the best policy - bearing in mind that 5 minutes after creation, the original author may still be working on it. One of the statements on the guide to deletion is: '''before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD.'''

== Re: Taylor Swift afds ==

hi, thanks for getting in touch about the above. I wasn't aware there was such a way/thing as a multi afd. I've always used the automated tools to nominate pages for deletion and tbh in my four year of editing this is the only occasion that springs to mind where I've found cause to nominate so many related articles. I'm guessing such a thing as multi afds exist? next time I'll be sure to read up on it. &mdash; [[User:Lil-unique1|'''<span style="color:DarkRed;">Lil_<span style="color:red;">℧</span>niquℇ <span style="color:red;">№</span>1</span>''']] [[User talk: Lil-unique1|'''<sup style="color:black;">[talk]</sup>''']] 03:00, 29 December 2012 (UTC) 
:Yep, if you read the Multi AfD section of the AfD article, that'll tell you what to do. (You can always use the tools to start one, and then add in other articles as appropriate). Glad I've been a help! [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 09:12, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

== List of films featuring anthromorphic insects ==

Luke, regarding [[List of films featuring anthromorphic insects]], I think outright deletion is an acceptable option because it has not been linked anywhere else on Wikipedia, it is not likely to be a term searched for, and it is misspelled (anthromorphic instead of anthropomorphic). If I had the time or interest, I would create the more general list featuring anthropomorphic characters. I'm the one who created [[List of films featuring diabetes]] and [[List of films featuring home invasions]], and I defended both articles at AfD, so I am hardly deletion-happy. :) However, I'd rather that a good list be created than a meager one that "salvages" these four film titles whose grouping was not in the public eye in the first place. My proposal for "See also" sections at each film's article was to be an interim solution until someone goes ahead with that more general list. I have my own goals for such lists—working on [[List of films featuring surveillance]] nowadays—but this topic is not one of them for me. [[User:Erik|Erik]] ([[User talk:Erik|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Erik|contribs]]) 17:40, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
:Not quite sure where you got the impression that I thought you were deletion-happy, but even if this article contains four things, they would need to be in the proposed article. I don't particularly have the time or will to set up the list either, which is why I suggested someone from the Films WikiProject would sort it. (although I haven't sent them a message directly) [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 17:43, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
::I understand. I agree these items would go in such a list. I just wanted to explain my rationale since there is sometimes an overarching deletionist vs. inclusionist mentality in AfD processes. I personally avoid such labels. [[User:Erik|Erik]] ([[User talk:Erik|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/Erik|contribs]]) 17:49, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
:::I'm probably notoriously bad at switching between both depending on which day I'm commenting on AfDs... :) [[User:Lukeno94|Lukeno94]] ([[User talk:Lukeno94#top|talk]]) 17:52, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I closed the AfD due to lack of deletion arguments. I withdrew my nomination, but it looks like it would have been "keep" anyway. I think the best approach at this point is to convert the list to [[List of films featuring insects]], which can include the current examples and more. What do you think? I started a discussion [[Talk:List of films featuring anthromorphic insects|here]].

Sorry about deleting your useful reference edits; there's a persistent IP vandal (121..... changes all the time) who had added a whole bunch of made up claptrap. Is there a quick way to restore your edits? <span style="background:#007FFF;font-family:Times New Roman;">[[User:Mr.choppers|<span style="color:#FDEE00;">'''&nbsp;Mr.choppers&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;'''</span>]][[User talk:Mr.choppers|<span style="color:#FDEE00;">✎&nbsp;</span>]]</span> 07:22, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
*Not that I'm aware of - and I'm inclined to go and get that article semi-protected, because I'm sick to death of reverting vandalism there! Nothing beats the Honda Civic article though, where I restored half of it after a phoney "plagiarism" deletion! At least that was only once.

Luke, I think you misunderstood my comment: you were in fact correct, the thread came too soon.

== The "other" Josh Wood ==

I can't see how that AFD will end in a keep, so let's start the next conversation. I like the two sources you found. I also found [http://www.thelondonmagazine.co.uk/Local-London/London-Health-and-Beauty/Josh-Wood.html this from ''The London Magazine''], [http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/if-you-want-to-get-ahead-call-josh-wood-8198371.html this from ''The Independent''], [http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/london-hair-heaven-josh-woods-new-atelier/#1 this from ''Vogue''] and [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2258361/Inside-world-10-000-mobile-hairdresser-From-1-000-highlights-doing-rollers-Roller--far-Toni--Guy.html this from ''The Daily Mail''].

*The Daily Mail is obviously not a reliable source, but it is certainly usable to add beef to the article. The Vogue would work, as even I know it's a reasonably reputable fashionable magazine! Once that AfD closes, I'm more than willing to attempt to recreate the article on this person, and I suggest that you tidy up whatever loose ends I leave (for some strange reason, I'm not an expert on writing articles about hairdressers :p).
