Asking for help

Hi tezka. Came here to ask your Wikidesign help with this [1]. Especially regarding the fact that you've been changing that very Politics template recently. Thanks in advance. Oh, and great job with all those airports! Now everyone can see we ARE a great aviation country. Cheers,AlexPU 11:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we have to overdo with templates, especially the overwhelming templates in small articles. Cats are important though. Templates may or may not hurt but they are not the prime of Wikipedia anyway. The article about the local government can certainly do without the tl about the national level politics. --Irpen 06:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree. Look at the message I left at Alex's talk page. — Alex ^(T|C|E) 06:23, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see it now. I mostly avoid looking there for a couple of reasons. So, that's why I missed your response. --Irpen 06:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You see, Alex, my talkpage contains some bare politically-uncorrect TRUTH about his Wikiactions. The truth, found almost nowhere else since he works hard to cover it. In my opinion, Irpen is suffering from understanding the fact that other Wikipedians may read that truth.AlexPU 16:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I'm just letting you know. — Alex ^(T|C|E) 06:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian Wikipedia

Hey, do you feel like helping me out on a few things I'm doing over on the Ukrainian Wikipedia? — Alex ^(T|C|E) 06:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, honestly, I find the international one much more interesting and challenging. Therefore, I only wrote for ua-wiki and ru-wiki one article each. I also have a small extra difficulty due to a lack of a Ukrainian (or Russian for that matter) symbols on any of keyboards that I use but I guess I could try to help you there in the time when I don't have a very pressing need to do something here. Let me know what you want. --Irpen 06:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

user page

Heh, if some random person edits my user page solely to increase the vandalism count, does it count as vandalism, but it doesn't need to be reverted because it's correct? Gah, a paradox! :-) -/- Warren 03:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Reverted edit

Hey... What did my edit mess up? [2] — Alex ^(T|C|E) 06:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately your edit got in the way of me reverting 221.155.127.188's vandalism. I've run AWB over it again. Harryboyles 06:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up the remaining vandalism. Didn't realize it was there. :-) — Alex ^(T|C|E) 06:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All done. Thanks for helping with the reverting and continue the good work you are doing. Harryboyles 06:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AWB Edits

Hi, Just to let you know, you shouldnt be doing AWB edits such as this one.

Edits such as that, are classed as 'insignificant' edits, as they do minor changes, which dont help the articles at all. Doing those at the same time as say, typo fixing, and fixing them if a typo is found, is fine.

Try setting AWB to automatically skip pages with no changes, and consider turning on Regextypofix, and using the skip function if no edits are made

Doing many edits like this, can result in you losing your AWB priveledges, which, really, wouldnt be a good thing!

Any Questions? Feel free to ask me on my talk page =)

Re: AlexPU's block

Hi, just so you're informed, if a blocked user uses his talk page for further attacks during the block duration, it can be locked until the block expires, which is a fairly standard practice. -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 13:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revision wars

There is a large revision war going on when uploading images. I have now placed this admonition to discourage users from uploading and reverting it.

This image has been repeatedly reverted by several users (see below). Anyone uploading this image may possibly trigger a revision war. Such users who do this will be blocked without further warning.

Image discussion

Hey Alex, I got the WMP 11 XP screenshot fully protected and I started up a discussion on the talk page so we can find a resolution to this problem. As someone who's been involved with the issue, your thoughts would help. See: Image talk:Windows Media Player 11 XP.png#Protected. Thanks. -/- Warren 17:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Country Flag2 Template

Hey, I was looking at the code only. I think your additions are reasonable, I guess they should be added. But since there has not been much discussion regarding or consensus regarding it, I am not incorporating the changes. Rather, I am adding my vote to it. I am keeping it on my watchlist to see what comes out of it. --soum (0_o) 09:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it seems a pretty widespread template. Thats why I refrained from modifying it without discussion. I will definitely keep an eye on it. Cheers, --soum (0_o) 09:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, brother! Chris 05:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never been good at rating, that seems too subjective to me. I figure there are others who can decide how important an article is, it feels wrong for me to do that to the writing of others. Chris 05:48, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Undelete

Ok, I've undeleted Image:Windows Vista logo.svg for now. There is some debate over wheter or not SVG images are acceptable for fair use (since it's easy to achieve good print quality with vector graphics), but I guess it won't hurt to let you take a swing at improving it untill some kind of consensus is reached. --Sherool (talk) 14:27, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this is a copyrighted logo, I don't think converting it to SVG is a particularly bright idea. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3RR

I'm considering filing an RFC. Just so you are aware, another anonymous editor doesn't agree with them, neither do I and I wrote most of that article and got it to FA status. But hey, if you're OK with inacccurate information in Wikipedia, that's fine by me also. I can let it slide, I just might stop bothering to worry about this project anymore. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander, incidently. I don't suppose you've warned the other parties? Warrens edit description was getting pretty close to a personal attack also, IMO. If you want to go and block me, go ahead. Just shows everything that's wrong with this project. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox Country

Hi Alex,

(50% to compensate for this template looking weird in some articles)

Thanks for your efforts to sort out what prompted the above! Unfortunately, however, it's had the result of misaligning the flag/symbol display in many if not most country articles. As a workaround, the flag_width parameter is now in place for use in those articles where the flag/symbol spacing isn't working; I'm intrigued to know which article/s these are. Thanks again for your work, David Kernow (talk) 17:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...the template looks weird in this article.

...I liked the old way of using the wikitable for the template better (see the Ukrainian version of the template that I translated). Everything looks fine on that template.

Well, as you probably already know, HTML table syntax is used to avoid pipe-symbol ("|") problems...

Hmm... The bug must be IE-only. Take a look at the template through IE7 if you can.

Yes, looks like it's another IE shortcoming. I made another effort to workaround it, but, as you'll see from the edit summaries, it looks like something as unwieldy as testing for an "IE_width_fix" parameter might be the only kind of solution. I'm not knowledgeable about browser compatibility issues, however, so maybe you or someone you know could suggest something clever and/or more straightforward...? Pesky IE. Thanks for your patience, David (talk) 02:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think I got it fixed now. :-)

...and I've just finished trying to center the captions below the images as well. The end – I hope! Chuckles, thanks and best wishes, David (talk) 12:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re Template:Country flag2

Hey David, can you fix this really fast please? It messed up a lot of articles. Thanks in advance! ...

Thanks a million! :-)

Thanks for alerting me! Yours, David (talk) 02:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. A bit ironic that I was messing with the article trying to figure out what's wrong. By the way, what do you think of the border I proposed around flags? Do you think the change you made (white-space:nowrap) will allow users like Carl Lindberg (see template talk page) to see the template on one line? Please let me know. — Alex^(U|C|E) 02:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look a little later; right now, I'm just trying to catch up with other messages, emails, etc. {{Border}} seems a little temperamental here (Firefox on PC) but mixing it with white-space:nowrap might make some difference... David (talk) 02:44, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That vandal

Sorry, for the late response. I have to present my research paper today, and so that I can wake up early, I went to sleep early last night (it was night here). I notice the vandal is already indef blocked by now. Good riddance! Now, lets just hope he is not on dyn ip.
