Whats up

How do I make my user thingy blue like the rest? Do I need refernce for that? Superplaya 01:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

To make the link to your userpage blue, you add some content to your userpage: have a look at WP:Userpage. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

That helped. Thanks alot!Superplaya 06:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: External links?

As I told you, there is nothing decided yet :-) I just created the list because I remembered (a year or over ago) when I bumped into a similar page, and haven't found it since then. If you do really want to review articles, you could give a different background color to the ones you have reviewed. To do so, in the |- that is above the item you have reviewed, add style="background-color: lightgreen;". However, since this process is not automatic, the next time I create the dump the cells will have to be painted manually again. As I said, we are just starting. -- ReyBrujo 02:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Adding the lists here for my reference. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for bolding the ones you recognize as having no problems. Wikipedia:WikiProject External links would be the correct place to search for help, but the wikiproject is seen as "competing" with WikiProject Spam, which takes far more resources. I do not expect this to change soon, but hopefully someday people will pay attention to the lists (just as some pay attention to {{external links}} and work with the backlog there from time to time). Cheers! -- ReyBrujo 20:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Technical question

Sandy, Is it possible to define the width of a collumn? If so, how is that done? Specifically I want to set the width of the second column to 410 px and let the first column float with the screen resolution. Thanks for your help. Frank van Mierlo 03:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I know it's possible, but I don't know how to do it - whenever I have to create a column or box, I have to copy someone else's. You could ask at WP:VPT. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Gallery formatting

Hi Sandy. As Adolfo Farsari seems to have ermerged from the FAC process, I've pasted your objection and responded to it here. -- Hoary 08:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Hoary - goodness, I didn't remember my Object on that article, and I'm sorry I didn't get back to strike if concerns were met. I view four different monitors - the only small screen is my laptop. I've had problems with wrap on image galleries and math formulas on all four. Maybe it's my screen resolution settings? I don't think it's only a problem with my settings, though, because on some of the math articles, the printable versions also wrap and text is chopped. Congratulations on the FA, and if I ever leave a resolved Object again on you, pls do ping me. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Barbaro

I have to refuse to do my penance. I was tempted, but it is going to fail 1(e). Maybe next year. Until then it will have to be Hail Marys. Yomangani^talk 17:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

LOL - well, it was hard reading about tortured horses while I was watching the sad Barbaro news on the TV :-) Hail Marys will not suffice - we'll have to come up with something else. Have a look at the Anne of Great Britain far - there's a new helper on board. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Assessments within projects

Regarding the edits to U2 and Snow Leopard - an assessment of GA within a project is not the same thing as an assessment of GA from WP:GA. Projects can, and do, use somewhat different scales, and a project assessment of A can coexist with a WP:GA. (Even WP:GA does not change project A assessments to GA when they list an article.) I've taken care of the U2 one. With Snow Leopard, it's remotely possible the project assigns a GA within the project without going through WP:GA, but I don't know if that's the case there, so I left it. Another problem is what to do with articles like Talk:Bruce_Springsteen which use one of the obscure GA template including extra categories. Gimmetrow 01:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

If you think all FAR-demotions should be B's, the bot can do that in the future. Gimmetrow 01:09, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

More amusement at Image:Kevin-pereira.jpg. Take a look at the version uploaded at 10:45 January 26. (It's safe.) Did you notice what was amusing about the Pashtun FACs? You dug out the old version and put it in /archive1, but one of the article editors is apparently an admin who "fixed" your cut-and-paste move by splitting the page history. But left one of the pages a redirect... Gimmetrow 03:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

The latest pile-up

I've decided the best metaphor for FAR is a wilderness stream: it gets blocked at points, and often meanders, but the general flow carries on... So then:

• Are you happy with the LEAD and prose at Panavision? Lots of good work there.
• I think Superman will clear out soon enough; just waiting for Wiki-Newbie.
• Illimatic only has one remove but hasn't had much work in a while. There were some efforts early in the review.
• Firefox is far from perfect, but there was work on it yesterday so it will have to stay up a while.

All of these are pushing two months, but that's becoming par for the course. Marskell 08:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sandy, just messaging to hope that my occasional notification of FARs of late is doing you a favour as intended, and not being disruptive. LuciferMorgan 14:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

"Utter frustration". I can imagine. I hate to repeatedly ask you, but at least in terms of referencing, you're the last word... A victim of your own success? :) I've started ce'ing Quartermass, BTW. Seems quite good. Marskell 14:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:sign

Hi there. Thanks for reminding me. Next time you see unsigned statements, you can use {{unsigned|username}} template. It will produce: — Preceding unsigned comment added by username (talk • contribs) . Peace. --Nielswik_(talk) 14:39, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
