Hi

Hi - thanks for all the work you're doing with changing seats - it's great to see! Thanks also for picking up my oversight on the 2010 candidates page. Frickeg (talk) 08:35, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Infobox used for election pages

Hi - there's a discussion here as to which election infobox should be used. The one you added, the global infobox, is being unilaterally removed by Orderinchaos. I thought as the person who added it, you'd like to know so your view can be registered. Timeshift (talk) 04:55, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Skype

You might note that at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Queensland state election, 1920, also introduced some extraneous text around some numerical characters. This may be due to a combination of your browser and Skype trying to identify and highlight telephone numbers. Thank you.--Rumping (talk) 00:55, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Minority/majority government

Why are you making such a massive change without consensus? You're arbitrarily and manually adding in to a very prominent area up the top of the infobox and hence each article. Most governments are majority governments in the traditional Australian westminster system. Ones that aren't are noted in the article as such. But such prominence for something that can be trivial in most elections is not a good idea. Timeshift (talk) 01:29, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

The infobox doesn't need to state it though. The infobox is for mathematical election statistics - not concepts such as majority and minority government. That is for the lead of the article. Nobody can get confused over who won the right to govern, pre and post pm/premier is at the bottom of the infobox. Timeshift (talk) 02:07, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Since when

Are ISBNS removed in refs? (Tas 1909)- are you up with WP:MOS - if so - show me where citations have ISBNS removed SatuSuro 08:31, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

sorry I have no idea about skype or the bug - but when i see ISBN's being removed during an edit - I do get concerned about that SatuSuro 12:14, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Australian politics/name/Nationals WA

A tag has been placed on Template:Australian politics/name/Nationals WA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:22, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

South Australian state election, 1890

It seems a bit odd to me that the liberal leader is assigned blue and the conservative leader is assigned yellow... can you advise why you chose these colours and if you'd object to them being swapped around? Timeshift (talk) 08:00, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

The answer is common sense really... liberal and conservative ministerialists, and liberal and conservative oppositionists. Timeshift (talk) 08:19, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't really have the time or motivation at the moment... can you find the time to fix it? Timeshift (talk) 08:23, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Timeshift (talk) 11:06, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Placement of w/o

I see you are moving "w/o" from winner to loser in tennis draws. Is that based on a guideline or what? It seems more natural to me to write it at the winner. PrimeHunter (talk) 04:08, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

I think w/o at winner is at least a Wikipedia convention although it may be an unwritten convention. If you want to change it then I suggest posting to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis/Article Guidelines (I don't know how many are watching the latter). It's best if there is a consistent system in draw articles so I don't think you should make changes without discussion. I'm not sure what comparable sources do. Many sources only write the winners name in a draw after round 1 and then w/o has to be near the winner. A source like http://2010.usopen.org/en_US/scores/cmatch/12ws.html skirts the issue by writing Walkover between the names but we don't have that option with our table formatting.

The "v d e" links in {{Top Australian female doubles tennis players}} earlier lead to a redirect because the name parameter was not the actual template name. I have fixed this: [1][2]. Before the fix you could have clicked the "Edit" tab on a page where the template is used, and then clicked the template name on the list of transcluded templates at the bottom of the window.

Some tips to help you out!

Hi Kapitan110295, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:Kapitan110295/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type {{reflist}} on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Kapitan110295/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 

Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Something to make your life easier!

Hi there Kapitan110295! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.

You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!
